                                         Sands Pants Radio just slam it in a drawer.
                                         
                                         Hey, this Melbourne International Comedy Festival,
                                         
                                         don't be a dope and come see me host Big Deal,
                                         
                                         a quiz show that angers God himself.
                                         
                                         It was seriously hampered by the fact that we weren't allowed liquids
                                         
                                         and stars a whole bunch of Sands Pants people and comedians.
                                         
                                         It's sort of like the game show equivalent of owning and eating your own haunted doll.

                                         in the loop about everything currently happening. Hey everyone and welcome to this week's episode
                                         
                                         of Plumbing the Death Star, where we ask the important questions like, what does the general public know about the Justice League and I guess the surrounding events?
                                         
                                         Right, well, the reason I really want to ask this question or delve into this is because, yeah, you guys have yet to see Aquaman.
                                         
                                         Yeah, correct.
                                         
                                         I have, and there is one glaring, I guess, I don't know if it's a glaring,
                                         
                                         I don't know, problem I have with it, apart from a lot,
                                         
    
                                         is there's these people that go on TV and they're being like,
                                         
                                         is Atlantis real?
                                         
                                         What do we know about Atlantis?
                                         
                                         And people being like, there is no such
                                         
                                         thing as fish people.
                                         
                                         But they have an Aquaman on a Justice
                                         
                                         League, so...
                                         
                                         But at what point in Justice
                                         
    
                                         League does Aquaman tell everyone
                                         
                                         his origin? Like, the public?
                                         
                                         Also, I haven't seen Aquaman, but I've read a bit about it to make sure that definitely isn't for me.
                                         
                                         Confirmed.
                                         
                                         So in Justice League, they never say, but it's assumed that the place he goes is Atlantis.
                                         
                                         But then the plot of Aquaman is finding Atlantis.
                                         
                                         So at that point, Aquaman doesn't even know if Atlantis is real, I guess.
                                         
                                         But that's just never seen in Justice League.
                                         
    
                                         Because, so with the Avengers initiative, that's a government initiative.
                                         
                                         And Iron Man's like, hi, I'm Tony Stark.
                                         
                                         I am Iron Man.
                                         
                                         Everyone's like, whoa!
                                         
                                         And then boom, boom.
                                         
                                         Oh, sorry, I wasn't paying attention.
                                         
                                         I'm Iron Man.
                                         
                                         Who the hell is that?
                                         
    
                                         No, you're Tony Stark, idiot.
                                         
                                         Why am I at this conference? You're a big-headed buffoon. Iron Man, is the hell is that? No, you're Tony Stark, idiot. Why am I at this conference?
                                         
                                         You're a big-headed buffoon.
                                         
                                         Is this an eSport thing?
                                         
                                         What's going on?
                                         
                                         Yeah, I know the song.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         That wasn't a music.
                                         
    
                                         Only.
                                         
                                         I don't even go outside.
                                         
                                         But the Avengers is a government initiative, right?
                                         
                                         So the government has an impetus to be like,
                                         
                                         oh, hey, this is who the Avengers are.
                                         
                                         Get to know them, buy the merch.
                                         
                                         But Justice League's just started by Batman.
                                         
                                         So at no point does anyone's origin ever get to...
                                         
    
                                         I would just be like...
                                         
                                         And at no point no one calls them the Justice League.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that's true.
                                         
                                         Although the government are aware of it
                                         
                                         because if you remember in the infamous post-credits scene of the Suicide Squad, which they do call themselves, Batman goes to Amanda Weller.
                                         
                                         Vella?
                                         
                                         Weller?
                                         
                                         Weller?
                                         
    
                                         Well-being.
                                         
                                         Well-meat.
                                         
                                         Well-good.
                                         
                                         Amanda.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And is like, hey, something about a...
                                         
                                         I can't remember what they talk about, but she's like,
                                         
                                         this might be of interest to you.
                                         
    
                                         Also.
                                         
                                         Or he's like, this might be of interest to you.
                                         
                                         Lex Luthor calls it, we should make a league of our own.
                                         
                                         Yeah, at what point do they call themselves the Justice League and to whom?
                                         
                                         Or any league by itself.
                                         
                                         Or are they just big fans of League of Their Own?
                                         
                                         Yeah, it's just so weird.
                                         
                                         The Tom Hanks classic?
                                         
    
                                         Like at no point.
                                         
                                         I love all the hard and fast movie references for no one.
                                         
                                         But like at no point,
                                         
                                         they don't save the day at Justice League and be like,
                                         
                                         and we were the Justice League.
                                         
                                         You would look at them and be like,
                                         
                                         bad man.
                                         
                                         No,
                                         
    
                                         him Superman.
                                         
                                         I hate him.
                                         
                                         Wasn't he dead though?
                                         
                                         Man of steel.
                                         
                                         That's just.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         So going through it chronologically
                                         
                                         I guess in the films
                                         
    
                                         No, we have time chronologically
                                         
                                         Okay, Wonder Woman
                                         
                                         Alright
                                         
                                         What do people know about Wonder Woman?
                                         
                                         Not much
                                         
                                         She fought in World War 1 for a bit
                                         
                                         But we don't know that
                                         
                                         I don't know who fought in World War 1
                                         
    
                                         I know which teams were there
                                         
                                         I understand that But however, there was no like,
                                         
                                         hey, do you remember that real badass woman
                                         
                                         who wore a skirt and armour and had a sword and shield?
                                         
                                         Amelia Echlehart or whatever?
                                         
                                         Huh?
                                         
                                         Is that who we're talking about?
                                         
                                         It's great to imagine this is a class, right?
                                         
    
                                         Please, Mr Doucher, I was about to say.
                                         
                                         This is a class room.
                                         
                                         Please, Mr. Doucher, I was about to say.
                                         
                                         Mr. Doucher, history substitute teacher, wheels in an old CRT.
                                         
                                         CRT?
                                         
                                         What do you call the TV?
                                         
                                         Didn't she go missing?
                                         
                                         Anyway, today we're going to learn about World War... Look, text notes.
                                         
    
                                         One and...
                                         
                                         World War I.
                                         
                                         And Amelia Eccleshart.
                                         
                                         That was her name, wasn't it?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Anyway, I'm pretty sure that World War I was fought with planes
                                         
                                         and they weren't called the Nazis.
                                         
                                         They were nearly Nazis.
                                         
    
                                         They were nearly Nazis.
                                         
                                         The nearly Nazis hated planes.
                                         
                                         That would be pretty funny if the timeline for Nazis is nearly Nazis, Nazis, neo-Nazis.
                                         
                                         That flows pretty well.
                                         
                                         That's true.
                                         
                                         But-
                                         
                                         All right, so World War I.
                                         
                                         So there'd be tales.
                                         
    
                                         But here's my question.
                                         
                                         In the modern day, in the DCEU-
                                         
                                         Oh, wait.
                                         
                                         Do we know or was it hidden?
                                         
                                         No, no, no.
                                         
                                         There's a very big reason why people would know about the end of World War I
                                         
                                         because she killed hatred and evil or whatever.
                                         
                                         So remember the Germans?
                                         
    
                                         You'd see them come out of the rubble being like,
                                         
                                         oh, we're not bad guys anymore.
                                         
                                         Okay, so for a bit, because World War II happened.
                                         
                                         Did it?
                                         
                                         There's no confirmation.
                                         
                                         We can't say yes or no
                                         
                                         They're gonna have to address this in some points
                                         
                                         Justice League 2 opens with like
                                         
    
                                         God damn World War 2
                                         
                                         Fucking sucked
                                         
                                         Damn I'm glad World War 2
                                         
                                         Didn't happen
                                         
                                         I'm glad we stopped at 1
                                         
                                         I like me just being like
                                         
                                         Yes
                                         
                                         Did you ever refer to Wonder Woman being in World War 1?
                                         
    
                                         Or did I just refer to her being in the World War?
                                         
                                         No, they're not like Wonder Woman fought in the Great
                                         
                                         War. They're like Wonder Woman fought in World War I.
                                         
                                         So presumably World War I.
                                         
                                         Do they ever address her?
                                         
                                         Or is it just that we know that it's World War I because the time
                                         
                                         thing comes up and she's like, it was a hundred years ago
                                         
                                         and it's like 1910.
                                         
    
                                         It's great again.
                                         
                                         Amelia Eccles-Hard in 19...
                                         
                                         I panicked because
                                         
                                         I know the World War II dates
                                         
                                         but World War I I'm always like
                                         
                                         was it
                                         
                                         1909
                                         
                                         to 1919.
                                         
    
                                         No, that's too long. Yeah, I think it's
                                         
                                         1914. I actually don't know myself.
                                         
                                         World War II was 1939 to 1945.
                                         
                                         I remember that one.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Here's a bit of history.
                                         
                                         Hey, everyone, if you're writing a history essay, use our dates.
                                         
                                         Exactly.
                                         
    
                                         The internet and books are wrong.
                                         
                                         Don't worry, we know.
                                         
                                         It was 1914 to 1918, but whatever.
                                         
                                         Jesus!
                                         
                                         Hey, I got 1914 right.
                                         
                                         I was well off.
                                         
                                         Okay. Yeah. All right. I was well off. Okay.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Anyway.
                                         
                                         Okay, so yes.
                                         
                                         I'm glad World War II either did or did not happen.
                                         
                                         I have to assume it happened because I'm fairly sure they mentioned, or Wonder Woman's like,
                                         
                                         oh, maybe she's not.
                                         
                                         Maybe World War II didn't happen.
                                         
                                         But anyway, that's beside the point.
                                         
    
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         So what do the general public know about Wonder Woman in World War I?
                                         
                                         So clearly it would have been reports that the Germans came out of a fugue state or they came out of like a weird-
                                         
                                         But that's assuming that at the end, because I know it looks like at the end of that movie that the Germans are like, damn, maybe I don't want to be a bad bloke anymore.
                                         
                                         But I always thought they were just coming out and being like, that was fucking crazy.
                                         
                                         So then it's just like
                                         
                                         that was fucking crazy
                                         
                                         Wonder Woman's like, I'm so glad I fixed your evilness
                                         
    
                                         they're like, what?
                                         
                                         no, we're fighting for our
                                         
                                         our side, fuck you
                                         
                                         that's just not that black and white
                                         
                                         Wonder Woman
                                         
                                         World War 2 kicks off because of Wonder Woman making a statement
                                         
                                         like that
                                         
                                         so like the whole, was it, like, what was it?
                                         
    
                                         The Hague, war crimes, all that kind of stuff?
                                         
                                         All that was for World War II.
                                         
                                         Was anyone for World War I?
                                         
                                         I'm sure.
                                         
                                         Probably.
                                         
                                         Look.
                                         
                                         I hate how.
                                         
                                         I don't know history.
                                         
    
                                         Well, lack of just knowledge is crippling this episode.
                                         
                                         I am an ignorant man with loud voice
                                         
                                         and opinions. But here's
                                         
                                         what I think, is that even if you were a
                                         
                                         soldier in World War I, you
                                         
                                         probably wouldn't know about Wonder Woman.
                                         
                                         It's not like it was like...
                                         
                                         There was a small town
                                         
    
                                         that saw her get launched up.
                                         
                                         There was one small town, one
                                         
                                         trench, or one
                                         
                                         section of no man's land.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah, yeah.
                                         
                                         And like five Nazis.
                                         
                                         It would just be an urban tale.
                                         
                                         It would be like that fucking mongoose that was a ghost and turned off the oven.
                                         
    
                                         One of them would just be like, Jeff the Talking Mongoose.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         It would be one of the springing.
                                         
                                         And then some guy would buy the house and be like, I shot Jeff.
                                         
                                         And everyone would be like, all right.
                                         
                                         I guess that's that problem sorted. Or maybe
                                         
                                         something akin to Spring Hill Jack.
                                         
                                         So it would have become like an old timey
                                         
    
                                         urban legend. Because no one had
                                         
                                         any photos except the one photo of them all
                                         
                                         together. So, but
                                         
                                         that's only assuming, that's only half of it
                                         
                                         is Wonder Woman. There was also that lady making
                                         
                                         magic poisons.
                                         
                                         Yeah. And then there was War
                                         
                                         himself. Yes. Also, at that one point sure because who was
                                         
    
                                         he in the british army her um war oh was he like a general yeah actually war had like a legitimate
                                         
                                         job because they're gonna be like at some point being like so in the uh at the end of World War I, we lost a general. We don't know how.
                                         
                                         He disappeared.
                                         
                                         So that would be part of a conspiracy theory.
                                         
                                         This important person in the British military cabinet,
                                         
                                         he just went one day.
                                         
                                         We don't really know where.
                                         
                                         He didn't die for any reason as far as we can tell.
                                         
    
                                         So it'd be this conspiracy theory about maybe the Germans or someone either kidnapped him,
                                         
                                         but just during the tumultuous time after the end of World War I,
                                         
                                         we lost a general.
                                         
                                         A very big, important general.
                                         
                                         He wasn't a general.
                                         
                                         What was he?
                                         
                                         That laugh was just me realising that we might have to put in a time code.
                                         
                                         Like, look, if you don't want to hear about the...
                                         
    
                                         Oh, no.
                                         
                                         He was knighted?
                                         
                                         He was a knight.
                                         
                                         We lost a knight.
                                         
                                         That's crazy.
                                         
                                         We hate when we lose those.
                                         
                                         But yeah, we're going to have to put a time...
                                         
                                         Sir Patrick!
                                         
    
                                         We're going to have to put a time code in to be like, skip to this point.
                                         
                                         If you just want to accept...
                                         
                                         It's like a choose...
                                         
                                         Bandersnatch or whatever. If you want to accept that it's like a chooser band to snatch or
                                         
                                         whatever like if you want to just clear wonder woman don't worry about that bit skip to four
                                         
                                         four quarters three quarters of the way through the episode more like fucking two thirds because
                                         
                                         it's consuming us okay three quarters is bigger than two thirds you fuck with i heard one quarter
                                         
                                         i'm sorry okay so yeah there'll be this conspiracy theory.
                                         
    
                                         There'll be weird tidbits like,
                                         
                                         did you know at the end of World War I,
                                         
                                         we lost a knight?
                                         
                                         He just went.
                                         
                                         We don't know where.
                                         
                                         He didn't take a plane.
                                         
                                         He just disappeared.
                                         
                                         There was a lot of scorch marks left in his office.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Maybe one of them hell demons.
                                         
                                         Well, surely the government knows about Wonder Woman
                                         
                                         because the government...
                                         
                                         Wait, was Wonder Woman even an employee of that side?
                                         
                                         Or was she just there with fucking
                                         
                                         Handsome boy.
                                         
                                         Trevor. Chris.
                                         
    
                                         Hi. Steve Trevor. Steve Trevor, yeah.
                                         
                                         Two first names. Weird.
                                         
                                         Pick one, Steve. Yeah. I'm gonna call him
                                         
                                         Trevor. Fuck him. Yeah, but was she just
                                         
                                         there with him? Like, does even the
                                         
                                         Because old mate Trev, because he was a CIA agent, maybe?
                                         
                                         No, he was a British soldier.
                                         
                                         Yeah, he just flew a plane.
                                         
    
                                         He was a pilot.
                                         
                                         No, isn't he a spy boy?
                                         
                                         No, he's a pilot.
                                         
                                         Didn't he have secrets?
                                         
                                         No, his secrets were that I accidentally found Wonder Woman.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         He flew a plane into a bubble.
                                         
                                         He's like, damn, I need to get back to Earth because...
                                         
    
                                         But he was like a part of the...
                                         
                                         A bit more important.
                                         
                                         Because didn't they send him...
                                         
                                         Oh yeah, they really wanted to kill that one man.
                                         
                                         Trevor Pine.
                                         
                                         You would have had that lost ship that Steve Trevor crashes
                                         
                                         for reasons I can no longer recall.
                                         
                                         I think it's probably got bombs on it.
                                         
    
                                         That would make sense.
                                         
                                         There's bombs on everything in this fucking universe.
                                         
                                         Bombs in ships, bombs in people's heads.
                                         
                                         But if you think about it... But explosions
                                         
                                         aren't deadly. Yeah.
                                         
                                         Suicide squad proves that.
                                         
                                         If you think of... A falling helicopter?
                                         
                                         Pfft, easy. It's a skim knee.
                                         
    
                                         If you think about it, though, the events of
                                         
                                         Wonder Woman 1 are
                                         
                                         so kind of minor that people
                                         
                                         either probably just forget.
                                         
                                         It's either lost to time, or it's one of those things where it's like an urban legend or something like that.
                                         
                                         Or, hey, here's this weird report from the trenches.
                                         
                                         You know, and all they might try and, like, kind of, like, structure it in a way like it was a mythical being of, like, you know, our good Christian soldiers prayed
                                         
                                         to God, and then
                                         
    
                                         he sent down an angel, and she helped
                                         
                                         us win against the nearly Nazis.
                                         
                                         I just think that if Wonder Woman had been that
                                         
                                         well-known, when Superman turned
                                         
                                         up, people would be like, ah, yeah, another

                                         No, no.

                                         That's true.
                                         
                                         Your Aquaman knowledge might be fucking dope.
                                         
    
                                         But that's a fucking while back.
                                         
                                         So strap in.
                                         
                                         That's the last boy.
                                         
                                         So, yeah, I think.
                                         
                                         Are you drawing a timeline?
                                         
                                         I thought you were drawing a timeline.
                                         
                                         I'm kind of doing a timeline, but also kind of just notes,
                                         
                                         which are just mostly question marks.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So yeah, with Wonder Woman,
                                         
                                         I feel that it would just be an urban legend,
                                         
                                         and it would be recontextualized to whatever was going on.
                                         
                                         I think we just wouldn't forget it.
                                         
                                         I think it was such a minor thing.
                                         
                                         People wouldn't know that Wonder Woman happened.
                                         
                                         I think it would be an urban legend in small circles. Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Maybe. Maybe. Alright.
                                         
                                         What's next? Man of Steel?
                                         
                                         Alright. So Wonder Woman
                                         
                                         question mark, question mark, not
                                         
                                         much. Man of Steel.
                                         
                                         Man of Steel.
                                         
                                         Moss. What do we know about Moss? Alright.
                                         
                                         Okay, so imagine you're...
                                         
    
                                         So the events of Man of Steel
                                         
                                         you might hear in the news...
                                         
                                         Like, I'm just trying to go through them chronologically.
                                         
                                         When Superman saves a bus full of kids, you might read about that in the news.
                                         
                                         No, you wouldn't.
                                         
                                         That'd be maybe in, like...
                                         
                                         If you were a town...
                                         
                                         Oh, if you were in small-town America near Smallville, I mean.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, you might maybe in a local newspaper hear about,
                                         
                                         there was a bus crash.
                                         
                                         No, like child Superman.
                                         
                                         They don't think that Superman saved the bus, except for that family that's like, you're raising Satan.
                                         
                                         Oh, that's right.
                                         
                                         They just think that the bus popped out of the sea and was fine.
                                         
                                         Oh, that would be an awesome newspaper article to read.
                                         
                                         Bus pops out of sea and is fine.
                                         
    
                                         Boy on bus.
                                         
                                         Wet bus, Everyone safe.
                                         
                                         It's great that if it's sea, but then the photo
                                         
                                         is clearly of the river.
                                         
                                         Yeah, it does swamp or whatever.
                                         
                                         This newspaper's

                                         alright, so maybe we wouldn't know much
                                         
                                         about that. And then the next thing Superman does is
                                         
                                         Well, Zod comes

                                         To be like, who is this person?

                                         When do they arrest Superman?
                                         
                                         God, that movie's all over the place
                                         
                                         After Zod lands
                                         
                                         Also, you've got to remember that they'd be the
                                         
                                         No, no, no. They don't arrest.
                                         
                                         Yeah, Superman goes to jail.
                                         
    
                                         She's like, your ass is fucking dumb, idiot.
                                         
                                         Why is the S? He's like, in my
                                         
                                         home planet, the S actually means hope.
                                         
                                         Well, it looked like an Earth S.
                                         
                                         When did you learn the Krypton language?
                                         
                                         Great question.
                                         
                                         How do you
                                         
                                         know what that means?
                                         
    
                                         He learned it in the ice ship
                                         
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         That's what I was going to say
                                         
                                         The ice ship is a thing that is discovered
                                         
                                         And it's clearly not a secret
                                         
                                         Because they get lower slain of the daily planet
                                         
                                         Okay, so we now know aliens exist
                                         
                                         And that's around about, what, 2000?
                                         
    
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         2010?
                                         
                                         It's funny that we learn that aliens exist and then aliens invade.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         I would be like, guys, man, what are the odds?
                                         
                                         That's crazy.
                                         
                                         Look at this ship.
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
    
                                         It's great to imagine, you know when Zod gets on everyone's TVs and is like, I'm Zod, I'm coming.
                                         
                                         Kneel for Zod.
                                         
                                         Me just trying to turn the TV off.
                                         
                                         What show is this?
                                         
                                         I hate this ad.
                                         
                                         Mark's headroom already did this.
                                         
                                         This is not cool.
                                         
                                         Is this speaking to a country that doesn't speak English?
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
                                         Huh?
                                         
                                         Who's this bowl-cut wearing motherfucker?
                                         
                                         I don't know what this guy's saying.
                                         
                                         It's also funny to imagine it on the TV.
                                         
                                         I can't turn the TV off.
                                         
                                         I push it over.
                                         
    
                                         Turn on the radio and hear the same thing.
                                         
                                         You just look at you both with the most confused...
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
                                         What is this ad?
                                         
                                         Okay, so, all right.
                                         
                                         So, aliens exist.
                                         
                                         We know that from a spaceship.
                                         
                                         Zoda is on a TV.
                                         
    
                                         Now, do we think this is viral marketing
                                         
                                         or do we think an alien?
                                         
                                         Well, I don't know.
                                         
                                         If we just found this big alien ship in the snow
                                         
                                         and then Zoda was like, I'm an alien, I would be like, guys, holy shit, this is an alien.
                                         
                                         I'd be like, surely now this is a big viral campaign for a new space opera that's coming out because as if we have found a ship and then an alien appearsars on our TV speaking English come on guys
                                         
                                         I would be so baffled when
                                         
                                         Zod landed and was just a dude with a bowl
                                         
    
                                         Cut like that is the most
                                         
                                         Baffling thing in the world I wouldn't believe he was
                                         
                                         An alien I wouldn't know what was happening
                                         
                                         I would also not know which one was Superman
                                         
                                         And which one was Zod
                                         
                                         They just look the same
                                         
                                         We'll get to that because that hasn't
                                         
                                         Happened just yet.
                                         
    
                                         We're still watching TV.
                                         
                                         Try to change the channel.
                                         
                                         What if you turn the TV off?
                                         
                                         Did you turn the TVs on?
                                         
                                         I think you did.
                                         
                                         What if I just push the TV over?
                                         
                                         I don't want to know.
                                         
                                         Shut up.
                                         
    
                                         I'm just not interested.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I'd be convinced it was some kind of weird Hollywood marketing.
                                         
                                         Again, I would just be like, is this a pirated signal again?
                                         
                                         Is this Max Headroom, but bigger?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Well, I wouldn't even know.
                                         
                                         I just assumed that it was just my TV.
                                         
                                         That's also true.
                                         
    
                                         That's a very funny thing.
                                         
                                         I'd just stick my head out the window of my house.
                                         
                                         Like, hey, neighbors, cut that shit out.
                                         
                                         Get off my antenna or whatever.
                                         
                                         I guess it'd be all over Twitter and social media and that kind of stuff.
                                         
                                         I guess.
                                         
                                         Hey, who caught this fucked ad? Hashtag

                                         I guess if it's all over
                                         
                                         Twitter, I might stop believing it.
                                         
                                         Well, I said earlier, I just believe it was aliens straight away.
                                         
                                         I think I'd just be like, I guess it's set before.
                                         
                                         Because the thing is, if that happened now, I'd be like,
                                         
                                         I hate the new Black Mirror.
                                         
                                         Me and Black Mirror is annoying.
                                         
    
                                         It's not even good.
                                         
                                         Yeah, shut up.
                                         
                                         What if your TV was turned on by self and man, you ball cut yelled at you?
                                         
                                         What if your grandma died and we put her in a room?
                                         
                                         Shut up.
                                         
                                         So yeah, if Black Mirror had been out, I would assume it was some fucking Black Mirror bullshit
                                         
                                         I would assume some just marketing garbage
                                         
                                         Alright, so that's that
                                         
    
                                         Then I would go to work
                                         
                                         And then there'd be reports that Metropolis got dunked
                                         
                                         Yeah, yes
                                         
                                         And then if I saw any news footage of that
                                         
                                         Like I said earlier, I would just be like
                                         
                                         Because the funny thing about the DCEU
                                         
                                         Is that when shit goes down in the Marvel movies in phase one, it's always little shit, right?
                                         
                                         And then the big shit happens.
                                         
    
                                         But because of the little shit, we know who the superheroes are.
                                         
                                         DCEU is like, Zod attacks, Superman fights Zod.
                                         
                                         I don't know who these guys are.
                                         
                                         Sire City is destroyed.
                                         
                                         I'm just like, it's crazy those two human aliens came and blew up that city.
                                         
                                         It's just like...
                                         
                                         Also, so, okay, no context, right?
                                         
                                         No context, you see Superman's outfit.
                                         
    
                                         What do you think the S stands for?
                                         
                                         I wouldn't...
                                         
                                         I wouldn't even see an S.
                                         
                                         I would be like, Snake Man!
                                         
                                         You paid no attention to the events leading up to it,
                                         
                                         but all of a sudden you see an S on a man's chest.
                                         
                                         Like, oh, I love this now.
                                         
                                         He's a snake man.
                                         
    
                                         He's a snake man.
                                         
                                         Look at the powers of a snake.
                                         
                                         Strength.
                                         
                                         Snakes are strong.
                                         
                                         I actually would probably think either strong man.
                                         
                                         Strong man's worse than snake man.
                                         
                                         He lives so.
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
    
                                         How?
                                         
                                         Show your working dickhead.
                                         
                                         It's a worse name.
                                         
                                         I'm not saying it's a worse name
                                         
                                         I'm saying you ask what would you think the S stood for
                                         
                                         I would say well I guess
                                         
                                         How do you get snake?
                                         
                                         How do you get snake?
                                         
    
                                         No let him answer
                                         
                                         How do you get snake?
                                         
                                         Tell me
                                         
                                         You see this man
                                         
                                         He's wearing blue and red.
                                         
                                         He flies and he can punch shit.
                                         
                                         How do you get snake?
                                         
                                         He does have limbs, like a snake, of course, clearly doesn't.
                                         
    
                                         The outfit kind of looks like scales, first of all.
                                         
                                         Name one blue snake.
                                         
                                         No, just saying the material. Looks like scales, a little bit. name one blue snake no name one blue snake
                                         
                                         just saying the material
                                         
                                         looks like scales
                                         
                                         a little bit of his outfit
                                         
                                         um
                                         
                                         and also that just would be what I first would think
                                         
    
                                         when I saw S
                                         
                                         snake man's a more reasonable name than
                                         
                                         strong man

                                         After morning,
                                         
                                         before morning.
                                         
                                         PM morning. PM's.
                                         
                                         Pre-morning.
                                         
                                         Post-morning.
                                         
                                         Sorry.
                                         
                                         So AM, which is the morning, is after morning to you?
                                         
    
                                         And somehow PM is post-morning.
                                         
                                         So morning never happens.
                                         
                                         So morning for you is 12.
                                         
                                         No, it has to be The moment of time
                                         
                                         Between the 11.59 and the 12am
                                         
                                         But
                                         
                                         Not the time where
                                         
                                         Humans cannot see
                                         
    
                                         The moment that light
                                         
                                         Is not fast enough
                                         
                                         I believe humans cannot perceive morning
                                         
                                         So yeah, I would think an S to it
                                         
                                         For strong What would you think,
                                         
                                         Dusha? Probably, well, do superheroes
                                         
                                         in general exist? No.
                                         
                                         This is the first boy we've seen. Although, wait,
                                         
    
                                         Batman exists. Wait, we've got to go before Man of Steel.
                                         
                                         Because Batman exists.
                                         
                                         Let's finish Man of Steel.
                                         
                                         Alright, because we're close. So we've just got to know
                                         
                                         Batman exists.
                                         
                                         But Superman and Batman are so different
                                         
                                         you probably wouldn't associate them
                                         
                                         yeah no but the if the concept of a super because now we're in a weird situation of superhero which
                                         
    
                                         is the concept of a cape that's true because in the they both wear cakes because in real life yes
                                         
                                         superman came first yeah so the concept of a superhero is based off him well yeah and also
                                         
                                         the concept of a superhero is based off um and also the concept of a superhero is based off
                                         
                                         old timey strongmen
                                         
                                         which is why I would think strong
                                         
                                         anyway strongmen because again the tights
                                         
                                         and all that kind of stuff is based
                                         
                                         on a strongman
                                         
    
                                         but it's weird
                                         
                                         it's so hard to imagine a world
                                         
                                         where superheroes exist
                                         
                                         but we don't call them superheroes
                                         
                                         but Superman wasn't the first, but we don't call them superheroes.
                                         
                                         But Superman wasn't the first one. But you wouldn't think...
                                         
                                         Because he has a cape.
                                         
                                         No, but here's what you'd think. You would associate Batman with
                                         
    
                                         serial killers, not with superheroes.
                                         
                                         I agree, you would.
                                         
                                         He's like the Zodiac killer. He wears a mask and he murders
                                         
                                         people. Cool. So that when Superman
                                         
                                         arrived, you wouldn't be like, oh, he's like Batman.
                                         
                                         You'd be like, I have no context.
                                         
                                         If someone was like, he's like Batman, you would be like i have no context either if someone was like he's like batman you'd be like batman's a serial killer supervillains exist too
                                         
                                         because the joker exists robin's dead oh that's true superheroes supervillains do exist are they
                                         
    
                                         supervillains or they just villains they're just like well the joker like the so we know that the
                                         
                                         joker exists yeah but then also the joker that we get in suicide squad is just a gangster yeah and also

                                         Maybe he's just come up with it then.
                                         
                                         Because the concept of superhero sort of kind of starts
                                         
                                         with... Yeah, but the concept of capes
                                         
                                         is not... The concept of capes to be like a
                                         
                                         straw, as in like a hero. Yeah.
                                         
                                         I just think that's a thing you'll eventually do with a towel.
                                         
    
                                         It's also going to be interesting when Shazam comes out, because Shazam, the character, is usually based off Superman, but the world hates Superman.
                                         
                                         And in the trailer, he pulls out a Batarang.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So this Shazam looks up to Batman, but then ends up being Superman.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that Shazam does look up to Batman.
                                         
                                         They're like, oh my God, super cool, even though Batman is just a serial killer.
                                         
                                         It's like if you found out now that
                                         
                                         somebody had gone out and killed
                                         
    
                                         a whole bunch of people, and you were
                                         
                                         like, what? And then you were like, oh, the people were
                                         
                                         petty crooks. You're not going to be like, man,
                                         
                                         what a good guy. You're going to be like, that's just
                                         
                                         crime on crime. We have
                                         
                                         that in Australia. His name's Chopper.
                                         
                                         Except Batman is Chopper-y. It wasn't petty crime. No. We have that in Australia. His name's Chopper. Batman is Chopper Reed.
                                         
                                         It wasn't petty crime.
                                         
    
                                         No, no.
                                         
                                         It was bad things.
                                         
                                         It was bad things.
                                         
                                         So I just don't think...
                                         
                                         You might half-heartedly associate Superman and Batman,
                                         
                                         but it wouldn't be like an immediate parallel.
                                         
                                         You'd associate them later when they're hanging out.
                                         
                                         Yeah, then you'd be like...
                                         
    
                                         When Batman brings Superman back from the dead.
                                         
                                         Okay, because we don't know a lot about Batman.
                                         
                                         We just don't.
                                         
                                         All we know is that there was a man.
                                         
                                         He dressed up in leather and had a cape.
                                         
                                         And he fought crime.
                                         
                                         And he had a lot of gadgets and did a lot of property damage.
                                         
                                         He also had a small child with him.
                                         
    
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         That small child died.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         And then there is like
                                         
                                         Mental patients
                                         
                                         That he loves to beat up
                                         
                                         Got access to guns
                                         
                                         And fast cars
                                         
    
                                         So just don't think when I saw Superman fighting Zod
                                         
                                         I would be like that guy's just like Batman
                                         
                                         I'd be like no I wouldn't
                                         
                                         I'd just be like it's weird that they both have capes
                                         
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         You'd be like it's cool that a snake gained sentience
                                         
                                         And became a man and also learned
                                         
                                         to fly.
                                         
    
                                         Do you reckon that man is a whole bunch of snakes in that outfit?
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         Like when it tears and I see skin, I'm like.
                                         
                                         What do you mean tears?
                                         
                                         Just like a snake.
                                         
                                         You can see his face and hands.
                                         
                                         That's a mask, idiot.
                                         
                                         He's shedding like a snake.
                                         
    
                                         That's cool.
                                         
                                         I love this snake man.
                                         
                                         He has hair.
                                         
                                         He's got hair.
                                         
                                         Snake man's fighting rat man.
                                         
                                         How do you think he's a snake?
                                         
                                         What do you think a snake looks like?
                                         
                                         The other guy doesn't even have a rat.
                                         
    
                                         Okay, show me.
                                         
                                         Wait.
                                         
                                         Guys, it's easy.
                                         
                                         So the S stands for snake man
                                         
                                         And snakes hate rats
                                         
                                         So the other guy must be rat man
                                         
                                         It's fucking science
                                         
                                         They're beating the shit out of each other
                                         
    
                                         What do you think is happening?

                                         What do you picture?
                                         
    
                                         Oh, I picture a man with the powers of a snake.
                                         
                                         What are they?
                                         
                                         No, no, no, no.
                                         
                                         Without.
                                         
                                         Sorry, this takes place.
                                         
                                         This conversation is now taking place with a man who hasn't just landed Superman as Snake Man.
                                         
                                         This is with Jackson, but this is Jackson pre.
                                         
                                         This is an alternate reality.
                                         
    
                                         This is into the Jackson verse.
                                         
                                         Yeah, okay okay we're bringing
                                         
                                         together a jackson that has stood and seen superman and been like oh my god snake man and a
                                         
                                         jackson that didn't see that but we're asking the other jackson what he thinks snake man would be
                                         
                                         venom powers the ability to unhinge his jaw probably venom powers unhinged jaw. Okay. The ability to eat eggs whole. Yep.
                                         
                                         Some snakes can.
                                         
                                         Eggs cool.
                                         
                                         Two penises.
                                         
    
                                         Two.
                                         
                                         Penis.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         If I'm asking you this question at this point, I'm like, no, no, no.
                                         
                                         Powers.
                                         
                                         That's a power.
                                         
                                         How many penises do you have?
                                         
                                         One.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         But some people are born with two, and we don't call that a superpower.
                                         
                                         More is better.
                                         
                                         I mean, I would.
                                         
                                         What else? Shedding.
                                         
                                         Shedding. Okay.
                                         
                                         Yeah. Like hair loss or like
                                         
                                         shedding skin? Shedding.
                                         
    
                                         So the same way that a human peels
                                         
                                         after sunburn? Yeah.
                                         
                                         It's like the whole thing.
                                         
                                         You have to rub up against a
                                         
                                         branch or a tree or something.
                                         
                                         He's so smooth underneath.
                                         
                                         Underneath what?
                                         
                                         His skin.
                                         
    
                                         The old skin.
                                         
                                         Pay attention.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Uh-huh.
                                         
                                         How many, say, legs or hands do you think he has?
                                         
                                         He could have the regular amount.
                                         
                                         He doesn't necessarily have to have no arms and legs.
                                         
                                         Can he constrict people?
                                         
    
                                         Not necessarily. As long as he's got one of those powers, I'm satisfied. Can he constrict people? Not necessarily.
                                         
                                         As long as he's got one of those powers, I'm satisfied.
                                         
                                         All right, so one of these powers.
                                         
                                         All right, thank you so much.
                                         
                                         Thank you so much.
                                         
                                         Now, all right, I'm going to describe.
                                         
                                         Let's just go through.
                                         
                                         Okay, venom powers.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Anything that you've seen this person who has an S on their chest.
                                         
                                         Remember that I'm seeing it from far away.
                                         
                                         Yes, I am.
                                         
                                         I am. I am.
                                         
                                         So if I say, no, no, no, no,
                                         
                                         you have to be seeing it close enough
                                         
                                         that you can make out that fucking S.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, you almost had me.
                                         
                                         I was like, fair.
                                         
                                         No, you've seen the S.
                                         
                                         You're pretty close.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but I see the S,
                                         
                                         but then say they fly away and they're tussling.
                                         
                                         Oh, fly like a snake.
                                         
                                         Wait, one snake does.
                                         
    
                                         Shut up.
                                         
                                         I'm like, that's a weird power for Snake Man to have.
                                         
                                         Although if they're tussling from a distance, you could assume he's trying to constrict him.
                                         
                                         Well, that's what I might think.
                                         
                                         Or he's biting him.
                                         
                                         Like, I can't see.
                                         
                                         Like, dude, he's trying to inject his venom into Rat Man.
                                         
                                         Guaranteed.
                                         
    
                                         I like we're sticking with Ratman.
                                         
                                         I hate you so much.
                                         
                                         I hated when Ratman was on TV.
                                         
                                         I pushed over my TV and I didn't listen to him.
                                         
                                         Zod kind of looked like a rat.
                                         
                                         Yeah, he's Ratman.
                                         
                                         What's the Zod symbol look like?
                                         
                                         Let's find out.
                                         
    
                                         Does it look like an R for rat?
                                         
                                         It doesn't have a symbol.
                                         
                                         Does it have a Z?
                                         
                                         Yeah, he's got something on his chest.
                                         
                                         No, isn't it just like the same logo as Superman, but without a letter?
                                         
                                         It's just kind of like a shape?
                                         
                                         I'm not sure. I sort of thought
                                         
                                         he had like a weird... Oh, he's got like
                                         
    
                                         a weird...
                                         
                                         Oh, he's got something there.
                                         
                                         But he's mostly wearing power suit armor.
                                         
                                         I need a picture of the dog.
                                         
                                         No, there it is. I can imagine that's an...
                                         
                                         It looks like a bit of a sickle. is. I can imagine that's an... It looks like a bit of a sickle.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I can imagine that's an awful rat.
                                         
                                         How could...
                                         
    
                                         It looks like a three.
                                         
                                         The number three.
                                         
                                         You're working in the wrong direction.
                                         
                                         I've already decided Superman is Snake Man.
                                         
                                         I've already decided Zod is...
                                         
                                         Look at this.
                                         
                                         I've already decided Zod is Rat Man.
                                         
                                         So when I see that symbol, I'm like,
                                         
    
                                         I can't look like an R.
                                         
                                         How do you think that looks like an R?
                                         
                                         Assume you already believe he's Ratman,
                                         
                                         and it makes more sense.
                                         
                                         No, but I do like this is Man of Steel General Zod,
                                         
                                         but Zod is all capitals of generalism,
                                         
                                         and I read it as General Zoo.
                                         
                                         That is good.
                                         
    
                                         I'm just like, no, you fucking idiot.
                                         
                                         It's Superman fighting General Zoo.
                                         
                                         Pay attention, you cunt.
                                         
                                         I guess if Snake Man, except that Snake Man fighting General Zoo, so General Zoo doesn't put all the snakes in the zoo.
                                         
                                         I get it, dude.
                                         
                                         I don't even care that my entire city
                                         
                                         was destroyed. I just hope those snakes are
                                         
                                         alright.
                                         
    
                                         It's good. For some reason I imagined the two
                                         
                                         of us in the back of a car and Zamit
                                         
                                         driving. Screaming. Zamit gets
                                         
                                         out, but we just stay there.
                                         
                                         I hope we get picked up by
                                         
                                         Superman. Put it on the accelerator and just jump out.
                                         
                                         I hope Snake Man picks us up
                                         
                                         and puts us with all of his snakes.
                                         
    
                                         I don't like snakes that much, but I guess that would be a good story.
                                         
                                         Blue, red, yellow.
                                         
                                         Classic colours of a snake.
                                         
                                         Could be the colours of a snake.
                                         
                                         Show me a blue snake.
                                         
                                         There definitely has got to be one.
                                         
                                         So let's find one for you.
                                         
                                         Well, there's a blue-tongued lizard.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, there you go. Look.
                                         
                                         No. Blue snake.
                                         
                                         Gotcha. Blue snake. Red snake
                                         
                                         would be harder to find. Nah, it's a red-bellied
                                         
                                         snake. Okay, well, you fucked up.
                                         
                                         I love Snake Man. Yeah, Snake
                                         
                                         Man rules.
                                         
                                         Imagine how disappointed I'd be when I
                                         
    
                                         find out his name is Superman.
                                         
                                         I'm Superman.
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
                                         Do you know Snake Man?
                                         
                                         You have a brother, Snake Man?
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         What?
                                         
                                         Do you hiss?
                                         
    
                                         What about all the snakes from when General Zoo attacked?
                                         
                                         I just don't know.
                                         
                                         Do you mean Zod?
                                         
                                         I don't think so.
                                         
                                         What does he look like?
                                         
                                         A rat?
                                         
                                         He kind of looks like he could also be Ratman.
                                         
                                         Yeah, Ratman got a bowl, talked to everyone on TV.
                                         
    
                                         I think he said his name was General Rat.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         I pushed the TV over.
                                         
                                         I don't like...
                                         
                                         I couldn't get a fixed...
                                         
                                         Snakeman?
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         So, Man of Steel.
                                         
    
                                         Everyone has their own interpretation of what the S means.
                                         
                                         A lot of people, for some reason, have snake man.
                                         
                                         Straight up snake man takes off.
                                         
                                         Hey, I saw this idiot fighting General Zoo from TV on real life.
                                         
                                         Hashtag snake man.
                                         
                                         As much as I hate you right now, I think you are correct, though.
                                         
                                         Not in terms of snake man, but there might be other kind of people calling him something else.
                                         
                                         Again, at no point in the DCEU do any of the superheroes tell everyone who they are.
                                         
    
                                         So it's all up to interpretation.
                                         
                                         But Superman's name is published in the Daily Post.
                                         
                                         Oh, that's true.
                                         
                                         And I don't think that there would be that much time between the entire city being destroyed and news reporting.
                                         
                                         Well, evidently not, because at the end of that movie,
                                         
                                         they're just going for it again.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And they're like, hey, you look heaps like that guy
                                         
    
                                         that destroyed this building.
                                         
                                         Come work at this building.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Which, you know, if you were the general public,
                                         
                                         it's going to be like you'd absolutely be able to tell
                                         
                                         that Clark Kent was Superman.
                                         
                                         No, Clark Kent makes him posture bad and himself sweaty or something, doesn't he?
                                         
                                         But is being sweaty something he does?
                                         
    
                                         I feel like it is.
                                         
                                         He makes himself nervous and some people get sweaty when they get nervous.
                                         
                                         He makes himself clumsy and shit.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         All right, we got to move on.
                                         
                                         Otherwise, we're going to spend all of our lives here in Man of Steel land.
                                         
                                         All right, what's next?
                                         
                                         Quickly, let's have a sidestep to Batman.
                                         
    
                                         Again, we just kind of think that a crazy man is killing more mentally.
                                         
                                         If you didn't live in Gotham, you would be like,
                                         
                                         it's crazy no one's done anything about Batman.
                                         
                                         But if you lived in Gotham, you're like, yeah, this is just Gotham.
                                         
                                         You'd be like, that makes a lot of sense.
                                         
                                         Somebody's got to do it.
                                         
                                         Our cops are garbage.
                                         
                                         I'd be demanding more money from
                                         
    
                                         like the federal government being like stop shutting down how asylums yeah that is true
                                         
                                         i'd be like god someone should fix arkham that place is a nightmare everyone keeps breaking out
                                         
                                         also there was that assuming the um harley quinn story would have been highly published
                                         
                                         like especially in like tabloids and that kind of stuff because they seem to kind of do this like almost crime spree but they kind of went above and beyond to kind
                                         
                                         of make themselves really well known so assuming that would have been like all over the newspaper
                                         
                                         yeah but i feel like only over the newspaper for gotham gotham's so weird and insular that you
                                         
                                         might have superman sees it on tv oh that's. He does. But Superman works for a newspaper and is shocked to hear about this man.
                                         
                                         But then everyone else in the room is like,
                                         
    
                                         How do you not know about him, Clark?
                                         
                                         Are you the dumbest cunt we've ever employed?
                                         
                                         It's literally across the bay.
                                         
                                         Also.
                                         
                                         Literally.
                                         
                                         Over there.
                                         
                                         You could swim there.
                                         
                                         Do you read our newspaper?
                                         
    
                                         You should, because I never published the stuff you write.
                                         
                                         I just leave a blank and it looks real dumb and probably tanks our sales.
                                         
                                         It sure does.
                                         
                                         All right, so you would kind of know about Batman,
                                         
                                         but if you didn't live in Gotham, you probably wouldn't know much.
                                         
                                         You'd know about the bat.
                                         
                                         You'd know about him.
                                         
                                         You would know about it the same way that you know about, like...
                                         
    
                                         If there was a man in London right now going around
                                         
                                         beating up criminals with a mask on.
                                         
                                         Would you know about it?
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Yes, but imagine he's been doing it for the last 10 years.
                                         
                                         You'd still know about it.
                                         
                                         You'd absolutely know about it.
                                         
                                         No, you'd know about it, but it wouldn't be interesting anymore.
                                         
    
                                         No.
                                         
                                         It keeps, like, not getting arrested, so no one knows who it is.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that'd be fascinating.

                                         Banksy, but Batman. The Joker's not
                                         
                                         making statements. He's just killing kids.
                                         
                                         If Banksy killed kids and was like's not making statements. He's just killing kids. If Banksy killed
                                         
                                         kids and was like, this is about
                                         
                                         society, then maybe.

                                         Night is mostly about Joker making statements.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah. That's the Dark Night,
                                         
    
                                         which is not where we are. Oh, yeah. So sorry.
                                         
                                         Alright. We're doing Leto
                                         
                                         Joker. He's a guy.
                                         
                                         He's just a gangster. Never mind.
                                         
                                         He's got his teeth punched out maybe. Yeah.
                                         
                                         Alright, so I guess
                                         
                                         you know the exploits of like
                                         
                                         it'd almost be like a
                                         
    
                                         like you know the socialites back in like
                                         
                                         the 1910s or whatever where they
                                         
                                         the newspapers report on all their like doing
                                         
                                         ons. Yeah. It'd kind of be almost
                                         
                                         like a revert to that but with
                                         
                                         these kind of like
                                         
                                         I guess caster characters characters you wouldn't call
                                         
                                         them heroes no i just think that i think that it would be so removed from us i mean assuming it
                                         
    
                                         depends on where we live here in australia it would just be like yeah that's a crazy thing that
                                         
                                         happens in gotham and it'd be it'd be like those kind of things you'd be you'd be talking about
                                         
                                         isn't it crazy that there was someone who was treating a mental patient and then they got
                                         
                                         acne gassed? Yeah. Also, like,
                                         
                                         acne juice is a thing?
                                         
                                         You just fuck your real up hard.
                                         
                                         I think... But only if you have, like, a
                                         
                                         sexy swim in it, maybe. Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Does that mean that Joker had a sexy
                                         
                                         swim in it by himself? Well,
                                         
                                         in the comics, Batman punches him
                                         
                                         into the acne juice. And that's in the
                                         
                                         Batman first movie as well. That's not sexy
                                         
                                         swimming. No, he probably just falls in
                                         
                                         like, what? Also happens in the killing joke
                                         
                                         except he falls into a puddle instead.
                                         
    
                                         That's weird.
                                         
                                         It's fun to imagine
                                         
                                         the Joker just rolling around in a puddle.
                                         
                                         He's got the red thing on his head.
                                         
                                         Oh yeah, he's got this red hood.
                                         
                                         They call him Red Hood even though he looks like a
                                         
                                         fucking... No, it's just absolutely not a hood.
                                         
                                         He looks like a dildo.
                                         
    
                                         Red Dildo, they should have called him.
                                         
                                         The Bat Punch's Red Dildo, Red Dildo, now Super White.
                                         
                                         Falls in Vat, I guess.
                                         
                                         All right, so Dawn of Justice rolls around.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         What do we, the general public, think is happening in that movie?
                                         
                                         Well, we hate Super Slash Snake Man.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Cannot stand him.
                                         
                                         He destroyed our city.
                                         
                                         Yeah, absolutely.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         We hate Batman because he's gone crazy and is branding criminals, but the cops love him.
                                         
                                         So maybe we also hate the cops.
                                         
                                         That's when we learn that Batman has stepped up his game as the general audience.
                                         
                                         They're like, he's branding people now.
                                         
    
                                         And there's probably a whole bunch of people.
                                         
                                         Because Superman realizes that he hates Batman
                                         
                                         because he sees a news report about how there's a guy that had a brand.
                                         
                                         He's not even in jail.
                                         
                                         He's just unconscious.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Anyway, here's a quick word from our sponsor.

                                         We would know about when Lex Luthor blew up that place,
                                         
                                         or we would know that place blew up, probably blame Superman.
                                         
                                         Would historians ever find evidence of Atlanteans
                                         
                                         and Wonder Woman people, Amazonians,
                                         
    
                                         fighting a giant war? Well, I think if they did, Amazonians fighting a giant war.
                                         
                                         Well, I think if they did, we'd have heard about it.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but how do they cover that up?
                                         
                                         The Themyscirians did it with magic, you gotta assume.
                                         
                                         A wizard sorted it out.
                                         
                                         Because they're fighting, do they fight with man?
                                         
                                         Yeah, but like old Arthurian kings.
                                         
                                         Also what happened thousands of years ago. I know that, but we still have reports and like, you know, like old Arthurian kings. Also what happened thousands of years ago.
                                         
    
                                         I know that, but we still have reports and like, you know, like second or third hand.
                                         
                                         Yeah, we still know Excalibur was real.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but like we still have, you know what I mean?
                                         
                                         Like there's still kind of evidence.
                                         
                                         Well, maybe the very fact that we know of an Atlantis in real life now is because of that.
                                         
                                         That's what I mean.
                                         
                                         Atlantis in real life now is because of that.
                                         
                                         That's what I mean.
                                         
    
                                         Because of how we know about Atlantis.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And how kind of we have these like Arthurian tales.
                                         
                                         Surely there would be tales of this war where we'd be fighting demons from above.
                                         
                                         Yeah, probably.
                                         
                                         So guess when the parademons come down.
                                         
                                         Wait, are the parademons in?
                                         
                                         No, they're not. Yes.
                                         
    
                                         In Batman v Superman.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         Are you sure?
                                         
                                         No, it's a vision.
                                         
                                         The parademons are a vision.
                                         
                                         Batman has a vision.
                                         
                                         We don't hear about Batman's vision, though, as the general public.
                                         
                                         I kind of, yeah, that's a...
                                         
    
                                         Wow, we're only on BVS.
                                         
                                         Cool.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I guess maybe people would...
                                         
                                         You're probably not going to associate that with Superman.
                                         
                                         You're going to think Superman's something else.
                                         
                                         I mean, some people might.
                                         
                                         Yeah. Honestly, it's like the stories and myths and legends that we have
                                         
    
                                         They would be different
                                         
                                         Yeah, probably
                                         
                                         So strange
                                         
                                         Because like, that's not that long ago historically
                                         
                                         It could just be like the Odyssey and stuff like that
                                         
                                         Yeah, or like Troy
                                         
                                         Yeah, but like we'd have movies
                                         
                                         We have movies about Troy
                                         
    
                                         Would there be like an
                                         
                                         In DCE movie Starring Brad Pitt and Eric Banner
                                         
                                         about the Atlantis war with parademons?
                                         
                                         When did that happen, though?
                                         
                                         Was it 2000 years?
                                         
                                         No, because it was far longer.
                                         
                                         Because I remember when the movie came out,
                                         
                                         I was blown away by the fact that humans were like Arthurian
                                         
    
                                         when, in in fact they should
                                         
                                         have been cave people yeah so it was basically the times of kings yeah but but in the movie the
                                         
                                         themyscirans or whatever like this was billions of years ago so maybe we wouldn't have anything
                                         
                                         of it we should have just been cums yeah we should have just been c cums back then yeah
                                         
                                         i don't even learn how to walk or to stop being calm yet or is there a point where it's just like yeah we got to that point real early on and then
                                         
                                         because of these fucks they kind of blasted us quite literally back to the stone probably i i
                                         
                                         would think that's a pretty reasonable thing to assume okay um so the only real thing that would
                                         
                                         ever we would notice in batman v superman i think because everything else is quite just happened to them is probably when Doomsday comes out and fights
                                         
    
                                         the city yes spiky
                                         
                                         Hulk yes
                                         
                                         I would just yeah I would just be
                                         
                                         because no one sees the actual
                                         
                                         titular BVS
                                         
                                         no all that we would know about
                                         
                                         unless you were out on the street
                                         
                                         you'd be like I hate these two guys and now these two guys
                                         
    
                                         seem to hate each other
                                         
                                         ah General Zoo's back.
                                         
                                         Damn, it's General Zoo, and he's fighting Snake Man.
                                         
                                         Someone needs to look after those snakes.
                                         
                                         You know, you laugh at me for Snake Man, but Batman.
                                         
                                         So if Batman is my go-to for a superhero, I'm like, they're all animal men, I guess.
                                         
                                         He has a bee on his chest, though.
                                         
                                         He kind of looks like a bee if he turns on his side.
                                         
    
                                         He has 20 ears, and he has the little symbol.
                                         
                                         Superman's outfit's kind of scaly.
                                         
                                         Anyway, you probably wouldn't know what was going on, really.
                                         
                                         Again, all of it happened so far away.
                                         
                                         You think Superman blew up a court?
                                         
                                         Yeah, that's true.
                                         
                                         Superman blows up a court and then fights Batman in a field.
                                         
                                         They blow up
                                         
    
                                         an island at one point.
                                         
                                         There would just be too many
                                         
                                         people for me to be able to tell what was going on.
                                         
                                         There'd be a lot of conspiracy theories going on.
                                         
                                         I'd just be like, I guess this
                                         
                                         is the worst terrorism attack the world
                                         
                                         has ever seen. Yeah.
                                         
                                         Instigated by
                                         
    
                                         Snake Man, Batman,
                                         
                                         a girl, and a spiky Hulk.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And then Superman dies, and then I'm jazzed.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Woo!
                                         
                                         I'm happy, but then the military give him, like, a military funeral.
                                         
                                         The government give him a military funeral.
                                         
    
                                         I'd be very sucked.
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         I forgot.
                                         
                                         We know aliens exist, so we probably know what's happened with Doom.
                                         
                                         So we're like, oh, God, big alien.
                                         
                                         Oh, that's true.
                                         
                                         Like, oh, man, that last time we got aliens but humans, now we're getting aliens
                                         
                                         but aliens. Also, Superman is shown
                                         
    
                                         in that movie to go and save the day
                                         
                                         periodically. Yeah. And everyone
                                         
                                         is like, gives big S's to be like, Snake
                                         
                                         Man, help! We're flooding!
                                         
                                         Save the day, Snake Man!
                                         
                                         You're like depressed Jesus, but
                                         
                                         can fly. Yeah. Let me be
                                         
                                         a skull and touch you. So I guess we'd be like depressed Jesus, but can fly. Yeah. Let me be a skull and touch you.
                                         
    
                                         So I guess we'd be like, look, I'm annoyed.
                                         
                                         I guess we'd be like, look, I'm annoyed at Superman for the events of Man of Steel, but he has been saving the day.
                                         
                                         And there's that statue of him.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So we know Superman exists.
                                         
                                         We know he's a top bloke.
                                         
                                         We know his name is Superman, not Snake Man.
                                         
                                         We don't blame him for destroying Metropolis for some reason,
                                         
    
                                         because I'm guessing this wonderful Clark Kent,
                                         
                                         who's writing all these positive articles about Superman.
                                         
                                         Is it kind of like if, say,
                                         
                                         if J. Jonah Jameson had taken the stance of Spider-Man's lovely,
                                         
                                         and everyone would be like, yeah, Spider-Man.
                                         
                                         So basically, instead of being a photographer,
                                         
                                         Peter Parker should have been a reporter.
                                         
                                         The statues and stuff like that happen after Superman's death.
                                         
    
                                         No, not the big one.
                                         
                                         Remember, because old wheelie mate, he climbs it and draws, like, false guard.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah, that's right.
                                         
                                         And cops are like, that's graffiti on the property of the-
                                         
                                         So we love Superman.
                                         
                                         Or hate him.
                                         
                                         Well, the public loves Superman.
                                         
    
                                         We three can make our decision.
                                         
                                         No, because there's, like, graffiti and movements and stuff against him. Some people hate him, some people hate him. Well, the public loves Superman. We three can make our decision. No, because if
                                         
                                         because there's like graffiti and movements and stuff
                                         
                                         Some people hate him, some people love him.
                                         
                                         Yeah. Yeah. It'd just be up to us what we felt
                                         
                                         which, if that's the case, if we like
                                         
                                         Superman, when we see the events of Batman v Superman
                                         
                                         we're like, it's great that Superman's fighting all
                                         
    
                                         of these bad blokes. Oh, yeah.
                                         
                                         He died? What?
                                         
                                         I can't wait to go to his funeral.
                                         
                                         I like to imagine you at this point you still haven't caught on that it's Superman, not Snake Man, and you throw rats on his grave.
                                         
                                         You lied to me.
                                         
                                         He just did it, Jackson. He just did it.
                                         
                                         Eat these rats.
                                         
                                         I think I've just become a conspiracy theorist.
                                         
    
                                         Eat these rats in heaven.
                                         
                                         I think it's just too much.
                                         
                                         Because if an event this big happened
                                         
                                         It's hard to have conspiracy theories
                                         
                                         I don't know
                                         
                                         A ship has come
                                         
                                         This alien thing
                                         
                                         An alien comes in
                                         
    
                                         They destroy Metropolis
                                         
                                         And then he dies
                                         
                                         Then he comes back
                                         
                                         Are they trying to take my guns away?
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         No, because I don't think it'll be...
                                         
                                         It's just like too much.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I know what you mean.
                                         
    
                                         Like, you just assume...
                                         
                                         The only conspiracy theory is like, ah, it's end of days.
                                         
                                         This is the apocalypse.
                                         
                                         Yeah, no, I'm with you.
                                         
                                         I'd be like, I guess the world's ending.
                                         
                                         Cool.
                                         
                                         I'd think this is a government conspiracy to try and do something.
                                         
                                         Let me try and imagine what that would be.
                                         
    
                                         To experiment on prisoners.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Give them, for some reason, and maybe to take my...
                                         
                                         It's always about taking my guns away.
                                         
                                         Well, Suicide Squad happens next.
                                         
                                         So experimenting on prisoners, maybe that'll...
                                         
                                         Maybe you're not wrong there.
                                         
                                         See what I mean?
                                         
    
                                         It's just like, okay.
                                         
                                         Well, then they put together...
                                         
                                         But then also the public must hate Superman
                                         
                                         because they put together...
                                         
                                         The government...
                                         
                                         Amanda Waller hates Superman.
                                         
                                         She's like, what if he killed our president?
                                         
                                         But he's dead.
                                         
    
                                         I put together a team of highly trained criminals.
                                         
                                         Why?
                                         
                                         Are you an idiot, Amanda Waller?
                                         
                                         You are a dumb idiot.
                                         
                                         Well, Suicide Squad, we don't even probably know.
                                         
                                         That's probably a blank. They go to an empty city,
                                         
                                         fight demons. We are in that city,
                                         
                                         they're like, we gotta evacuate you. We're like, goddammit,
                                         
    
                                         is this another snake man? And then we leave.
                                         
                                         But a lot of people die, like civilians.
                                         
                                         When? They become the party boys.
                                         
                                         They turn into rock monsters, remember? Yeah.
                                         
                                         Are they civilians? Yeah, they
                                         
                                         were just folk. Oh. So we
                                         
                                         come back and they're like, Sorry, your grandma became a rock monster
                                         
                                         And tried to kill Harley Quinn
                                         
    
                                         And we're like, who?
                                         
                                         I don't believe you
                                         
                                         I'd be like, a black ops situation happened
                                         
                                         And the government are doing something
                                         
                                         And I don't know what
                                         
                                         Presumably
                                         
                                         Suicide Squad is where this conspiracy theory is going to start
                                         
                                         Yes, but before that, no
                                         
    
                                         Nah, I'd be so on the
                                         
                                         I would be such a conspiracy theorist
                                         
                                         I think it's just like, it's too
                                         
                                         Because if they
                                         
                                         It depends if they're open about it or not Because if the government came out And were like, yes, aliens exist I'd be so on the... I would be such a conspiracy theorist. I think it's just like, it's too... Because if they... It depends if they're open about it or not.
                                         
                                         Because if the government came out and were like, yes, aliens exist, I'd be like, well...
                                         
                                         Alright.
                                         
                                         You're probably not hiding anything, because that's a fucked thing to make an announcement about.
                                         
    
                                         It just seemed to...
                                         
                                         Because, like, the...
                                         
                                         Yeah, the aliens exist, and they've given this alien a state funeral.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but he's also saved the day, hoops.
                                         
                                         So I'd be like, I guess.
                                         
                                         Just be like, he's just like...
                                         
                                         But he blew up a
                                         
                                         congress even though you said it wasn't him i'm still suspicious i think i would oh wait no that's
                                         
    
                                         right because the movie makes it seem like that he blew it up but then straight away the next report
                                         
                                         is like uh the the person who did it was the guy in the wheelchair but it's fucked that superman
                                         
                                         didn't stop him or like didn't try or didn't notice the bomb or whatever so they don't blame superman they're just like oh he's sloppy now he doesn't
                                         
                                         care about us yeah and plus eventually they put lex luther in jail and they're like he did it all
                                         
                                         and i'd be like okay i guess that makes sense then batman goes and punches the wall yeah forget that
                                         
                                         i feel like it's crazy they just let anyway makes a league of their own yeah um so suicide squad we
                                         
                                         would not know what happened because we just get ejected from the city
                                         
                                         and then when we're let back in, they'll be like,
                                         
    
                                         I'm sorry, whatever happened in the city.
                                         
                                         We would have seen the big blue spirally thing in the sky.
                                         
                                         Maybe, depending on where they put us.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but I think it'd be hard to miss.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Someone's seeing that.
                                         
                                         I would assume they let us out, a bomb dropped or something
                                         
                                         and then they brought us back in and they're like,
                                         
    
                                         sorry, everyone died that wasn't with you. And I be like well i'd be like see they're experimenting on like
                                         
                                         people and like one of their experiments went wrong and this is them trying to clean up i think
                                         
                                         it would just be the i would just assume that the world war three has started but the government is
                                         
                                         trying to hide that yeah yeah yeah yeah potentially if um say, if Justice League had happened first, I'd be like, yeah, because Russia got dunked pretty hard.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And so if there was a bomb on American soil, then I'd be like, ah, yes, the Ruskies are retaliating for whatever we or how it happened.
                                         
                                         What's the time period between Man of Steel, Batman v Superman, and Suicide Squad?
                                         
                                         Over the course of how many years does that take place?
                                         
    
                                         Not many, but-
                                         
                                         A month and a half, I want to say.
                                         
                                         Wish I had an answer for you, but the movies don't even know.
                                         
                                         It's very quick.
                                         
                                         Man of Steel and BVS kind of happen almost like-
                                         
                                         Well, they've got to clean up the city.
                                         
                                         Let's be generous.
                                         
                                         Let's be generous and say over the course of three years. Okay? I don't think that's right, but let's be generous let's be generous and say over the course of three years
                                         
    
                                         okay i think i don't think that's right but let's be generous to them i think it's like a
                                         
                                         less than a year well we could be like look if we're gonna be generous like jackson said
                                         
                                         just assume the gap between the films which i think was three years yeah so three years
                                         
                                         whatever happens in suicide squad i'm like it's just another Snake Man fight. But Suicide Squad happens while Superman is dead.
                                         
                                         Oh, that's true.
                                         
                                         Wait, what do we know about the, not the Suicide Squad, but what do we know about the people who can make this?
                                         
                                         Because like Boomerang, he robbed every single bank in Australia.
                                         
                                         That's making news.
                                         
    
                                         We know about that.
                                         
                                         Twice, didn't he?
                                         
                                         Didn't he do it twice?
                                         
                                         We'd be like, it's crazy. That man was literally
                                         
                                         the greatest criminal ever known.
                                         
                                         Why is he in our jail?
                                         
                                         Why did we
                                         
                                         knock at him?
                                         
    
                                         Every Australian, when he comes in, we're like,
                                         
                                         hey, we're going to make him think he robs everything
                                         
                                         because he's a bit of a dickhead.
                                         
                                         But we have to assume that we live within the realm
                                         
                                         of this universe
                                         
                                         where Australia is Hollywood Australia which
                                         
                                         means that every
                                         
                                         bank is probably like 10 banks
                                         
    
                                         do you know what I mean? And every bank is
                                         
                                         guarded by a bloke
                                         
                                         in just board shorts
                                         
                                         holding a hat and a
                                         
                                         surfboard. Oi Cobber
                                         
                                         you can't go with, oh bloody hell
                                         
                                         you bloody did it. Oh yeah
                                         
                                         hey hey hey hey you can't rob this, but I've got a boomerang.
                                         
    
                                         Oh!
                                         
                                         That's Australia's most deadly weapon.
                                         
                                         Oh, he better not have a red back on him.
                                         
                                         So we're probably just like...
                                         
                                         Our government banned guns and now we're soft cocks.
                                         
                                         So it's great...
                                         
                                         See what happens?
                                         
                                         Bloody Australia ban's gone and one man with one boomerang
                                         
    
                                         Can rob every bank
                                         
                                         No one's taking your guns
                                         
                                         You don't even have guns
                                         
                                         You got no guns to take
                                         
                                         Nobody's even talking about it
                                         
                                         I reckon they're taking my guns
                                         
                                         It's good if you swap it around
                                         
                                         And me, like, you driving
                                         
    
                                         Me and Zamet screaming at each other in the back
                                         
                                         There's no snake man
                                         
                                         They're not taking your guns.
                                         
                                         Explain boomerang then.
                                         
                                         Guys, guys, guys.
                                         
                                         He might be half snake man.
                                         
                                         And what if they're trying to give us guns?
                                         
                                         This is why we need to be all three of us.
                                         
    
                                         Tusha tempers our fury at one another.
                                         
                                         Ah, yes.
                                         
                                         Guns to stop snake man. Yes, yes, guns to stop snake man.
                                         
                                         Ah, yes, half snake man.
                                         
                                         It might be super snake man.
                                         
                                         Oh, what if it is? Double S.
                                         
                                         Because if you make a snake so powerful it becomes a man,
                                         
                                         maybe it doesn't have any snake traits anymore,
                                         
    
                                         but it was once a snake.
                                         
                                         Good point.
                                         
                                         Thank you, Joel Dusha.
                                         
                                         That's a good point.
                                         
                                         They're trying to militarize everyone,
                                         
                                         trying to make you less clever, Joel Zammett,
                                         
                                         because you have a gun, but now everyone else will have a gun.
                                         
                                         If everyone has guns, then nobody does.
                                         
    
                                         So they're not taking my gun away.
                                         
                                         If everybody has guns, no one does.
                                         
                                         Wow.
                                         
                                         All right, so Suicide Squad.
                                         
                                         What I mean is, like, we would know a lot about them.
                                         
                                         As in, like, we'd know about Deadshot.
                                         
                                         We'd know about Harley Quinn.
                                         
                                         We'd know about.
                                         
    
                                         We'd know about Harley Quinn.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         We probably wouldn't know about Deadshot.
                                         
                                         Because he's just an assassin.
                                         
                                         Do you know about, like, Hitman?
                                         
                                         But, yeah.
                                         
                                         Name one Hitman you know about.
                                         
                                         Like a famous Hitman.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         I don't know if that even exists.
                                         
                                         Yeah, exactly.
                                         
                                         Oh, Hitman.
                                         
                                         Okay. This, Hitman. Okay.
                                         
                                         This might be dumb, but the Hitman that we get in, like, the game Hitman and the movies,
                                         
                                         like a paid assassin, are they real?
                                         
                                         Yeah, Woody Harrelson's dad was a Hitman.
                                         
    
                                         I just don't think it exists.
                                         
                                         Because, like, I know there's been stuff on, like, people trying to hire Hitman and then
                                         
                                         they end up getting stung by the cops.
                                         
                                         Yeah, that's because they try and hire hitmen from the
                                         
                                         deep web where it's all
                                         
                                         fucking... Yeah, hitmen are a real thing.
                                         
                                         They're not glamorous, but there are people
                                         
                                         who kill for money. Here's a little tip for everyone who's listening to podcasts.
                                         
    
                                         Everyone on the deep web, all cops.
                                         
                                         Yeah, absolutely. Don't try and
                                         
                                         hire a hitman.
                                         
                                         Kill them yourself, you get it. Hitmen exist,
                                         
                                         they're just not glamorous. Well, the thing is,
                                         
                                         he'd been arrested. Yeah. So there'd be like a police report
                                         
                                         He would have gone to the courts
                                         
                                         Someone would have been like
                                         
    
                                         He got arrested by Batman, didn't he?
                                         
                                         I don't think much of it would be publicised
                                         
                                         The one guy we might know about is the guy that can breathe fire
                                         
                                         No, because he got arrested
                                         
                                         After he killed his family
                                         
                                         Yeah, but he always had the power, didn't he?
                                         
                                         Yeah, but no one knew he breathed fire
                                         
                                         Everyone just assumed he was an arsonist.
                                         
    
                                         We just might not know anything.
                                         
                                         We might know about Harley Quinn, that's it.
                                         
                                         Harley Quinn, definitely, because we know who the Joker was.
                                         
                                         What about Croc Boy?
                                         
                                         He's quite literally a crocodile.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but he keeps to himself.
                                         
                                         Like, that would be like an urban myth.
                                         
                                         Yeah, yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Like, hey, there's a bloke that lives in the sewer.
                                         
                                         I'd be like, I don't care.
                                         
                                         Well, because, again, it's a government...
                                         
                                         Wait.
                                         
                                         Shut up.
                                         
                                         Is it a government-funded prison?
                                         
                                         What, Arkham?
                                         
                                         No, Blackwater.
                                         
    
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         I'm not sure.
                                         
                                         Like, because, again, there'd be reporters and that kind of stuff
                                         
                                         if they went in there.
                                         
                                         I just think you don't know about every criminal that exists in the world.
                                         
                                         I know, but there'd be like a docu-
                                         
                                         like a docu-series that came in.
                                         
                                         If there was like a- like, say, a Louis Th louis thoreau documentary document what am i trying to say here
                                         
    
                                         like like a louis thoreau documentary where they go into blackwater or arkham and they're like these
                                         
                                         are the criminals yeah and then suddenly you see a like a crocodile man you're like that's you might
                                         
                                         know about any ones that are batman villains that are interesting batman villains yeah i mean we
                                         
                                         know who the head of the KKK is.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So maybe we would know about...
                                         
                                         But you wouldn't know about it in any, like, big way.
                                         
                                         You would just be like, oh, yeah, that is a criminal.
                                         
    
                                         Like, if David Duke walked in here, I wouldn't be like,
                                         
                                         oh, my God, it's David Duke.
                                         
                                         I'd be like, who is this guy?
                                         
                                         How did he get here?
                                         
                                         Yeah, but if David Duke was a crocodile,
                                         
                                         I'd be like, ah, a crocodile man.
                                         
                                         Like that crocodile man.
                                         
                                         Nearly every...
                                         
    
                                         Like that crocodile man nearly every like that crocodile
                                         
                                         i just think every single um every every batman villain would or or even villain would just be
                                         
                                         like a today i learned on the subreddit today i learned today i learned that in black black
                                         
                                         gate prison there is a hitman who's never missed a shot or something. You'd be like, oh, okay.
                                         
                                         And then the top comment would be like, well, he must have missed one shot
                                         
                                         which was Batman punching him in the jail.
                                         
                                         And then there'd be an edit being like,
                                         
                                         oh my god, didn't expect this comment to do so well.

                                         that I would be bored of it at this point.
                                         
                                         Like I am with the movies.

                                         Well, I think that this is going to lean very much
                                         
                                         into how we currently are,
                                         
                                         where we'll have, like, a hazy memory of the events.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         All right, so if you know...
                                         
                                         Metropolis being destroyed would stick with me.
                                         
                                         It would be like, no one forgets 9-11
                                         
                                         never forget
                                         
                                         so you would remember
                                         
                                         Metropolis, you would remember
                                         
                                         that aliens exist
                                         
                                         you would remember that brief period of time
                                         
    
                                         where everyone thought Snake Man was around
                                         
                                         but then he disappeared
                                         
                                         I'll imagine you just have a framed picture of a snake
                                         
                                         and it says Snake Man.
                                         
                                         I'm like, what happened to Snake Man?
                                         
                                         He was trying to save our goddess?
                                         
                                         It's great if you imagine, you know, with a, like, false god or whatever over the Superman statue.
                                         
                                         I just rub it out and write, what happened to Snake Man?
                                         
    
                                         Snake God.
                                         
                                         What happened to Snake God?
                                         
                                         Would that affect you as your day-to-day life, living like who you are?
                                         
                                         Would that affect you knowing that, say, aliens exist 100% for real and they kind of hate us?
                                         
                                         I would be very scared all the time.
                                         
                                         If over the last four years, four cities have been destroyed, I would just be like, I always need to be on guard and I might move to the country.
                                         
                                         You see, I'd be that kind of like London during the Blitz.
                                         
                                         I think I would become even more cavalier with my life.
                                         
    
                                         I just wouldn't care.
                                         
                                         I'd be like, whatever.
                                         
                                         We only get one chance.
                                         
                                         And I have no control over an alien landing on my house.
                                         
                                         Fuck it.
                                         
                                         We've all taken stances that I would not have expected us to take.
                                         
                                         Because I just live my life normally.
                                         
                                         Because if someone was like, hey, aliens exist and they hate you,
                                         
    
                                         I'd be like, join the fucking fucking queue should see the emails we get if if if i know that

                                         He boom tubes behind a building at one point.
                                         
                                         Great bit of cinema.
                                         
                                         Hey, boom tubes around, but the big events that we would visibly see are in Metropolis Gotham. That's basically it.
                                         
    
                                         Because we don't see the little stuff.
                                         
                                         There's a lot of ships still in the middle of the fucking thing.
                                         
                                         Yeah. We don't see the big
                                         
                                         little stuff. The little stuff doesn't concern us.
                                         
                                         I'm talking about that big power plant.
                                         
                                         Where is that?
                                         
                                         That's in Metropolis. No.
                                         
                                         Because it's Star Labs.
                                         
    
                                         No, not that. The power plant where all the end fight comes.
                                         
                                         Oh, that's somewhere in Russia.
                                         
                                         It is Russia?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah, okay.

                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         No, Doomsday comes out of the fucking ship.
                                         
                                         No, not Doomsday.
                                         
                                         No, not Doomsday.
                                         
                                         Steppenwolf.
                                         
                                         Steppenwolf.
                                         
                                         They fight him in Russia.
                                         
                                         Because they go to the house where the plants are attacking.
                                         
                                         Yeah. And then they go and fight him. They go to the house where the plants are attacking. Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         And then they go and fight him.
                                         
                                         They go to the house and there's that family living in there.
                                         
                                         And Parademon's like, damn this fragile wooden glass.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         There's people afraid in there.
                                         
                                         We want them.
                                         
                                         Wooden glass.
                                         
                                         Wood and glass.
                                         
    
                                         But before we even get to that, Superman comes back.
                                         
                                         Yes. That's a thing we could see. Yes. How do they get to that, Superman comes back. Yes.
                                         
                                         That's a thing we could see.
                                         
                                         Yes.
                                         
                                         How do they get to Russia?
                                         
                                         Superman fights cops.
                                         
                                         Yeah, he does.
                                         
                                         Superman also fights the other heroes.
                                         
    
                                         Also, Flash is around.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah, Flash is a thing.
                                         
                                         He's a red streak.
                                         
                                         I wouldn't know what was happening.
                                         
                                         I would just assume it's Snake Man again.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Snake Man's back.
                                         
                                         Snake Man's back, and he's quick this time, like a viper.
                                         
    
                                         Snake Man's become Viper Man.
                                         
                                         And Aqualad's there.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but we don't know a shit about Aquaman because we're not one Norwegian village.
                                         
                                         And he's got a trident.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I would be like, cool, they got a muscly guy.
                                         
                                         Neat, I guess.
                                         
                                         But this fight, like, apart from the fight where they just bring Superman back to life and Superman fight,
                                         
                                         I'd assume that they're the bad guys if I assumed that Superman was the good guy.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, true.
                                         
                                         I mean, like, Snake Man's going to kill these bad guys because one guy's Red Streak.
                                         
                                         I don't know.
                                         
                                         I've never heard of that guy.
                                         
                                         Muscly Man.
                                         
                                         Batman, whom I think I still hate, but I can't remember.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and I kind of remember the rumors about a Roman Centurion lady from World War I.
                                         
                                         Cool.
                                         
    
                                         And then when they kill Super...
                                         
                                         Her descendant?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah, cool.
                                         
                                         This is her kid or whatever.
                                         
                                         Because at this point, we do know that camera phones exist and the internet exists
                                         
                                         because we've got that sweet intro of Superman at the start being...
                                         
                                         Denying to be on a podcast, right?
                                         
    
                                         Requesting to be...
                                         
                                         Well, kids requesting to be on a podcast, which Superman Requesting to be... Well, kids requesting to be on a podcast,
                                         
                                         which Superman never does.
                                         
                                         Rude.
                                         
                                         Sorry, kid, I'm going to die.
                                         
                                         Which is a great excuse to get out of going to a podcast.
                                         
                                         Killing yourself. Yeah.
                                         
                                         So, yeah.
                                         
    
                                         So, I'm assuming that fight happens roughly around mid-morning.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So, there'll be people around filming that.
                                         
                                         Surely, surely we see it.
                                         
                                         That'll be online.
                                         
                                         And then...
                                         
                                         So you'll be like, okay, they've brought him back from the dead.
                                         
                                         Cool.
                                         
    
                                         Cool.
                                         
                                         To be honest, I might think it was Ratman.
                                         
                                         Oh, no, I know what Snake Man looks like.
                                         
                                         Just because they're where Ratman's body was.
                                         
                                         He's wearing...
                                         
                                         Oh, yeah, and plus he's wearing Ratman's uniform.
                                         
                                         Yeah, he's...
                                         
                                         I'd be like, General Zoo's back.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, no, General Zoo.
                                         
                                         He's going to put all the...
                                         
                                         Got rid of his bowl cut.
                                         
                                         The snakes in the zoo.
                                         
                                         Because I wouldn't- because Doomsday, I would not put one and one together to get that is
                                         
                                         General Zoo.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         What's really weird about all of the DCEU movies is that so few of the scenes are things
                                         
    
                                         we see as the general public.
                                         
                                         We just see, like, the big fights, and that's kind of it.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Well, and we also kind of don't, because they to course correct like so this is like meta shit that doesn't bother
                                         
                                         plumb in the death star usually but because man of steel everyone was like you killed a lot of
                                         
                                         people and then that to course correct in the films it means that almost every single battle
                                         
                                         takes place in an empty city yeah which means that we might just be like oh is something happening
                                         
                                         right yeah because doomsday happens,
                                         
    
                                         but we cleared literally everyone.
                                         
                                         And as much that doesn't make sense,
                                         
                                         we have to assume that it did.
                                         
                                         Yeah, because they said, like, they, I mean...
                                         
                                         They cleared that out completely.
                                         
                                         So I guess we're being evacuated a lot.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And we don't know why.
                                         
    
                                         It's a lot of evacuation.
                                         
                                         Probably because they're trying to take our guns.
                                         
                                         They're trying to give us guns!
                                         
                                         Because if everyone has guns Then no one does
                                         
                                         You're right so actually a lot of the fights
                                         
                                         And any of the other big fights take place in an abandoned
                                         
                                         Fucking
                                         
                                         Power plant or magic cities
                                         
    
                                         Yeah
                                         
                                         And Russia's an abandoned town
                                         
                                         Yeah so we just don't know
                                         
                                         We just we
                                         
                                         There might be reports there
                                         
                                         There's some weird plants now growing here.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         We, the general public, only know about superheroes or any of the DC heroes from Man of Steel, Batman vs.
                                         
    
                                         No, from Man of Steel and the internet.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         We know from Man of Steel and then rumors of stuff that happened.
                                         
                                         That's crazy.
                                         
                                         Yeah, because a lot of the stuff either, you have to be on the outskirts looking in.
                                         
                                         You'd have to, there's a chance you could experience one or two of these events if you're
                                         
                                         really unlucky.
                                         
                                         Like, if you move from Metropolis to Mid-City, they need cop two.
                                         
    
                                         But you wouldn't even really cop the Suicide Squad one.
                                         
                                         No, you just know that something bad happened.
                                         
                                         But again, you just assume that it was like a war or something.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I would just-
                                         
                                         But I guess you know aliens, like, they don't hide that aliens exist.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I would assume it was I guess you know aliens, like, they don't hide that aliens exist. Yeah, I would assume
                                         
                                         it was all the Zod aliens,
                                         
                                         probably.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Just because I have
                                         
                                         no evidence otherwise
                                         
                                         and they're the only aliens
                                         
                                         I know of.
                                         
                                         So I guess up until
                                         
                                         the end of Justice League,
                                         
                                         I guess, I threw this out before
                                         
    
                                         but it was like
                                         
                                         a passing comment.
                                         
                                         I think you would just assume
                                         
                                         that we were currently in
                                         
                                         the state of like
                                         
                                         a World War III
                                         
                                         but it was like a-
                                         
                                         Like Earth v-
                                         
    
                                         Less of a World War
                                         
                                         more of a Galactic War?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Earth v. Zod World. Earth v. The General Zoo. Space Zoo. like a like less of a world war more of a galactic war yeah earth v zod world earth v the general zoo space zoo yeah but you genuinely would because even in justice league they there's nobody in the
                                         
                                         the really in the fight in the background with um but yeah that said why would there be no like
                                         
                                         you know join the the Earth Army?
                                         
                                         Well, I would assume that it was because we had Snake Man.
                                         
                                         Yeah, and because the attacks were so limited.
                                         
    
                                         Because if it's a small-scale stuff... Because if it's a small-scale, like, stuff with, like, big, like, attacks,
                                         
                                         but relatively small-ish attacks, then they might need it,
                                         
                                         because I'd just be like, well, they've already got an army. Yeah, exactly.
                                         
                                         They've had a big army for ages and haven't really been doing much.
                                         
                                         I'd just join the army.
                                         
                                         Give the aliens a bit of what they want. They can't take your guns away
                                         
                                         if you're in the army. Exactly.
                                         
                                         Maybe I'll be like, experiment on me.
                                         
    
                                         Give me that super juice.
                                         
                                         I'll drink Superman blood. I don't give a shit.
                                         
                                         Excuse me, sir. There's no such thing as
                                         
                                         super juice in this universe. You might be thinking
                                         
                                         of a fictional film that exists in this universe called captain america oh give me that acme juice
                                         
                                         then yeah just take a swim in this bar does it have to be sexy yeah all right can you join me
                                         
                                         no it's weird yeah your context for any superhero event would be i know batman fights like what is i would effectively assume is like a circus mafia
                                         
                                         in gotham um and i know that general zoo attack that's it and that aliens exist the big thing is
                                         
    
                                         that aliens exist but then you'd know aliens exist and they kind of can't also parademons
                                         
                                         i would assume a general zoo's army yeah exactly it's the same thing yeah if i saw one would i see steppenwolf
                                         
                                         probably not ever and even if you did you would just assume that it's yeah yeah yeah because it's
                                         
                                         it's humanoid so you're just like these are all from the same fucking thing yeah who cares yeah
                                         
                                         assume it's all the same war all right so justice league finishes but i don't know what happened
                                         
                                         yeah do they get reports i guess in like an abandoned town in Russia has gotten pretty.
                                         
                                         I just don't even know if we'd get them.
                                         
                                         It's so isolated.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, and there's no one filming or seeing the Justice League as they were.
                                         
                                         Imagine there was a bloom of really exotic, unique, rare flowers in a Russian town somewhere.
                                         
                                         I wouldn't know.
                                         
                                         It's not going to reach us. If there was exotic flowers three suburbs town somewhere. I wouldn't know. It's not going to reach us.
                                         
                                         If there was exotic flowers like
                                         
                                         three suburbs over, I probably wouldn't know.
                                         
                                         Yeah, absolutely. I don't follow the hashtag
                                         
                                         exotic flowers on Twitter.
                                         
    
                                         Maybe I should. Maybe.
                                         
                                         They might be pretty. Alright, so we learn
                                         
                                         literally nothing from Justice League.
                                         
                                         We just might learn that there are things happening
                                         
                                         and we just...
                                         
                                         And we already know who the Flash is, presumably, because he arrested Captain
                                         
                                         Boomerang, which means he's already being a vigilante,
                                         
                                         which doesn't line up with his character, and that's funny.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, that's true. Alright, so we know-
                                         
                                         Can you imagine the Flash in Justice League
                                         
                                         fighting crime? Because I can't.
                                         
                                         Oh, no. He doesn't know how to- Somehow
                                         
                                         that movie, like, positions him
                                         
                                         as someone who's been doing it for a long time, but also someone
                                         
                                         who this is their first time ever. He is clearly
                                         
                                         not a man that looks crime in the eye
                                         
    
                                         and tries to arrest it. Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
                                         
                                         Does he just stop stuff by running fast and getting
                                         
                                         in the way first? Yes. Yeah,
                                         
                                         I think so. But then why does he arrest Captain Boomerang?
                                         
                                         And why does Captain Boomerang care?
                                         
                                         I don't... I don't know. I feel like
                                         
                                         Captain Boomerang could just leave.
                                         
                                         Flash would what? Just follow
                                         
    
                                         him? Yeah, I know. Cool, but then what?
                                         
                                         Well, he's got lightning powers. Yeah, but has he... He doesn't... He doesn't have lightning powers, does him? Yeah, I know. Then what? He's got lightning powers.
                                         
                                         Yeah, but has he...
                                         
                                         He doesn't have lightning powers.
                                         
                                         Sort of.
                                         
                                         It's like little sparks come off him.
                                         
                                         It looks like lightning.
                                         
                                         But he doesn't zap you.
                                         
    
                                         He could pick you up, I guess.
                                         
                                         Doesn't that happen?
                                         
                                         No.
                                         
                                         It's not electric.
                                         
                                         He looks a little electric.
                                         
                                         He's got electric stuff coming off him,
                                         
                                         but he can't give you an electric shock.
                                         
                                         It's very hard to imagine one concise
                                         
    
                                         universe where all of these things happen.
                                         
                                         Because it just seems he runs and then he
                                         
                                         touches Superman, he's sparked him
                                         
                                         a bit. Did he?
                                         
                                         Yeah. Did you bring him back?
                                         
                                         No, he sparked a box. He sparked a box, which is
                                         
                                         already kind of, like, electric.
                                         
                                         But maybe you're right. I don't know. Anyway,
                                         
    
                                         it just seems whenever he enters the room,
                                         
                                         like, the whole room goes, like, and there's a lot of commotion.
                                         
                                         Is there?
                                         
                                         I'll take your word for it.
                                         
                                         Look.
                                         
                                         Because I don't remember that at all.
                                         
                                         No, I remember it because it's static electricity or something.
                                         
                                         And then, like, papers and shit are all over the place.
                                         
    
                                         But I think that's just him.
                                         
                                         Maybe Boomerang is scared.
                                         
                                         I mean, if you sonic boom a room, then stuff's going to happen, yeah.
                                         
                                         I don't think it's electric powers, but maybe.
                                         
                                         Maybe it's like sonic...
                                         
                                         But he's a little sparkly.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I know he's got the sparks, but I think that's just weird effect.
                                         
                                         I think they're just like, this looks cool.
                                         
    
                                         They spend all their effects money on that and not making him be able to run properly.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Doesn't he time up, though?
                                         
                                         Like, he just wraps a big cord around him.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Maybe.
                                         
                                         Well, that makes sense.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Aquaman.
                                         
                                         Okay.
                                         
                                         Well, Aquaman.
                                         
                                         Everyone's like, who is Aquaman?
                                         
                                         And there's one, I guess, specialist who's a bit crazy, who I assume I would be in this universe.
                                         
                                         But more of a-
                                         
                                         Are they upset about guns?
                                         
    
                                         No, but I would definitely be upset about guns.
                                         
                                         I would be like, Aquaman is the tip of the iceberg.
                                         
                                         There is more of this.
                                         
                                         And are they trying to take out guns?
                                         
                                         From the sea this time.
                                         
                                         From the sea.
                                         
                                         So everyone's like, who is this Aquaman and they've got like
                                         
                                         a silhouette the best thing on this is there's like
                                         
    
                                         a um a photo like a clipping
                                         
                                         from a newspaper with like
                                         
                                         a silhouette of
                                         
                                         clearly Jason Momoa
                                         
                                         yeah and they're like who is Aquaman
                                         
                                         but it's like they clearly would have had to have had the
                                         
                                         image of Aquaman
                                         
                                         to take them like get the silhouette.
                                         
    
                                         You know, desaturated or whatever to make it just a black outline.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And be like, who is this mystery person?
                                         
                                         So, I guess maybe there is a shot in like a bar where like some big, you know, gruff people come in and be like, hey, you're that Aqua boy.
                                         
                                         And he's like, yes.
                                         
                                         He's like, can I take a selfie?
                                         
                                         And they take a selfie.
                                         
                                         And the big biker man has a pink phone because...
                                         
    
                                         I guess that's...
                                         
                                         A comedy.
                                         
                                         That's what a joke looks like.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Sure.
                                         
                                         That's weird that...
                                         
                                         So, the general...
                                         
                                         That joke's in Thor as well, but not the phone joke,
                                         
    
                                         just the selfie joke.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         Thor 3.
                                         
                                         People think selfies are funny.
                                         
                                         They are pretty funny.
                                         
                                         Imagine asking a guy for a selfie.
                                         
                                         It was very good in The Hunt for the Wilderpeople.
                                         
                                         Just saying.
                                         
    
                                         Anyway.
                                         
                                         That's another movie reference for you.
                                         
                                         They're coming freaking fast.
                                         
                                         So people are like, who is this Aquaman?
                                         
                                         But people know who Aquaman is.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         And they know where he lives.
                                         
                                         I would be baffled by a seaman.
                                         
    
                                         That might be when I cut my losses And go home
                                         
                                         I guess like
                                         
                                         Heel man
                                         
                                         Dude that's so cool
                                         
                                         He's Maori in this
                                         
                                         So I guess a super Maori
                                         
                                         Cool I guess
                                         
                                         That's pretty good
                                         
    
                                         I feel like the seaboy would be the one
                                         
                                         That you actually care about
                                         
                                         This would be the first time you actually give a shit
                                         
                                         I'd tear down all my snake man material So in the film I feel like the sea boy would be the one that you actually care about. This would be the first time you actually give a shit. Yeah.
                                         
                                         I'd tear down all my snake man material.
                                         
                                         So in the film, so some context,
                                         
                                         so there is this big tidal wave that happens,
                                         
                                         which is the ocean lord or master or whatever his stupid name is, being like, let's give the earth boys back their rubbish
                                         
    
                                         and kind of just like big tidal waves happen
                                         
                                         and like rubbish and ships and whatever crash.
                                         
                                         People are going, what a crazy event!
                                         
                                         And then the people are like, that was the Atlanteans.
                                         
                                         And everyone's like, no, it wasn't.
                                         
                                         I hope they're like, wow, what a crazy event.
                                         
                                         We've got to clean up.
                                         
                                         And they just broom all this stuff back into the sea.
                                         
    
                                         Oh, much better.
                                         
                                         There's a fight in...
                                         
                                         If they wanted to do that,
                                         
                                         there should have just been communication

                                         No.
                                         
                                         Yes, because he's not conceived at the start of the film.
                                         
                                         There's, like, little flashbacks, but that's...
                                         
                                         Like, it's flashbacks.
                                         
                                         They're so insignificant to what the general public know.
                                         
                                         But if a man...
                                         
                                         There's no big fights.
                                         
                                         But if you...
                                         
    
                                         Okay, even if you live in a town
                                         
                                         where there is a lighthouse
                                         
                                         keeper, and then all of a sudden
                                         
                                         he's with a redhead
                                         
                                         lady, and then...
                                         
                                         She's not there for that long.
                                         
                                         Evidently nine months.
                                         
                                         But there's a very small attack.
                                         
    
                                         It's just... No one seems
                                         
                                         to notice.
                                         
                                         I get what you mean.
                                         
                                         If I lived in a small town and I'm like, hey, there's some people fighting that lighthouse.
                                         
                                         I agree with you.
                                         
                                         There's something there.
                                         
                                         And yes, there is probably rumors because, you know, Aquaman's father keeps going to the pier every day to be like, I miss my sea lady.
                                         
                                         I'd be like, that's crazy.
                                         
    
                                         And also Aquaman the baby gets left with lighthouse keeper, right?
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         So, like...
                                         
                                         I just assumed there was a weird dalliance that happened with the light.
                                         
                                         I'd be like, that's the lighthouse man's business, not my own.
                                         
                                         Also, I wouldn't assume a sea lady.
                                         
                                         I'd just be like, I guess he's a single dad now.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I'd be like, I guess he was with the ladies.
                                         
    
                                         And maybe he goes out and looks at the ocean because his mother of a child died in a drowning accident.
                                         
                                         I'd be like, damn, it is so sad that the lighthouse keeper
                                         
                                         is so sad, basically.
                                         
                                         I would not assume sea people.
                                         
                                         So is there any
                                         
                                         fights that are on land that people would probably
                                         
                                         see? Yeah, there's like the one in
                                         
                                         Sicily with Black Panther and he's
                                         
    
                                         shooting eye beams. Oh yeah, gosh.
                                         
                                         And he's got this big fat head
                                         
                                         and maybe I'd be like, ah, I guess Snakeman's
                                         
                                         back and he's got a helmet.
                                         
                                         Cool ass. It's Snakeman
                                         
                                         and his snake army. Yeah, Snakeman
                                         
                                         is fighting Super Maori
                                         
                                         and his red-headed friend. I definitely
                                         
    
                                         wouldn't assume that Jason Momoa
                                         
                                         was a superhero.
                                         
                                         Because he doesn't seem like he has powers.
                                         
                                         He can jump pretty good. Nah, it's reported that
                                         
                                         he's got powers, I think.
                                         
                                         Everyone seems to know him.
                                         
                                         It's weird that out of everyone, it seems like he's the most reported on.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
    
                                         Even though he's the most just a guy.
                                         
                                         He's very boring at first glance.
                                         
                                         Because people do know him.
                                         
                                         I guess that's the weirdest part about the entire DCEU,
                                         
                                         is that somehow, and obviously it's just atrocious writing
                                         
                                         but you've got to take it as part of the universe somehow everybody knows that all of these
                                         
                                         characters exist and everybody's just aware of their power set well i think you're correct it's
                                         
                                         just it just seems maybe that the dceu the world in which everyone lives in is so disconnected
                                         
    
                                         yeah because there are some people that know what's going on and there are people that just have no idea.
                                         
                                         I feel it's a world with so much miscommunication between, well, you know, just everybody because no one seems to know what the fuck is going on.
                                         
                                         I wouldn't trust the media.
                                         
                                         That I think is my conspiracy theory after all of this.
                                         
                                         I wouldn't trust the media.
                                         
                                         That, I think, is my conspiracy theory after all of this.
                                         
                                         And I think I would just be like, I can never, ever, ever trust the media, read the news or anything, because they clearly know everything, but are not reporting everything.
                                         
                                         Like, who is this Aquaman?
                                         
    
                                         But I was like, that's clearly a photo of him. Yeah.
                                         
                                         So you know.
                                         
                                         Yeah.
                                         
                                         You know who this guy is.
                                         
                                         Is Superman a menace?
                                         
                                         Well, he blew up Metropolis.
                                         
                                         So yes.
                                         
                                         You know, islantis a real
                                         
    
                                         place well yeah because aquaman yeah he can breathe underwater that's i know that batman's
                                         
                                         been branding things because you're using a bat brand and also you're reporting on it and yeah
                                         
                                         we know that the cops can't also work with him because that's also on foot what are you guys
                                         
                                         doing the media it it's funny that yeah like, like, at the end of the day,
                                         
                                         maybe it's like a rise of, like, citizen journalism a lot more.
                                         
                                         I guess that's pretty good.
                                         
                                         That's a good thing to get out of all of this.
                                         
                                         I think it just annoys me that I couldn't assume
                                         
    
                                         that it was Snake Man because the media would be so, like...
                                         
                                         Although you wouldn't trust the media
                                         
                                         because of everything that's happened,
                                         
                                         which means you might be like, no, no, no, this is Snake Man.
                                         
                                         They don't know, I know, definitely Snake Man.
                                         
                                         And you might get a giant following of like, what happened to Snake Man?
                                         
                                         Hashtag, what happened to Snake Man?
                                         
                                         Did he die?
                                         
    
                                         And then, did he die?
                                         
                                         Oh, now he is in Sicily with eye beams and he's become...
                                         
                                         He's wearing a big black hood.
                                         
                                         I might just assume everyone was
                                         
                                         snake men. Snake
                                         
                                         men's. Yeah.
                                         
                                         And snake woman.
                                         
                                         So in terms of what does the general public know about
                                         
    
                                         the DCU? I guess
                                         
                                         just not much. Or a lot.
                                         
                                         Or everything. A surprising
                                         
                                         amount but not the obvious
                                         
                                         stuff. They know way more than they
                                         
                                         should. Yeah. But not enough
                                         
                                         at the same time. I think the one thing
                                         
                                         that we can take away
                                         
    
                                         that everyone would know is that aliens
                                         
                                         exist. Yeah. Although
                                         
                                         could you then be like
                                         
                                         no it is a government
                                         
                                         conspiracy and they're just
                                         
                                         experimenting on prisoners and then
                                         
                                         that's why they have powers. You could
                                         
                                         apparently.
                                         
    
                                         I just think... I'm just trying to think of weird conspiracy theories
                                         
                                         and the long bows that they tend to draw.
                                         
                                         I think I would just absolutely be like,
                                         
                                         it's aliens and also the world is ending.
                                         
                                         Yeah, I'd be like, it's end of days.
                                         
                                         That's what they're hiding from us.
                                         
                                         That's why the news is reporting on stuff, but not.
                                         
                                         Maybe I'll become religious.
                                         
    
                                         Yeah, look, true.
                                         
                                         Maybe I'll try and find God.
                                         
                                         I'm going to drown myself.
                                         
                                         All right.
                                         
                                         Beat them to it.
                                         
                                         I'm going to find Atlantis the easy way.
                                         
                                         I'm going to continually refresh our snake head.
                                         
                                         No, I think I would just be like,
                                         
    
                                         I'd probably become an investigative journalist
                                         
                                         and be like, guys, I'd become the new Louis Thoreau.
                                         
                                         Jolly Thoreau.
                                         
                                         Why did you take that last name?
                                         
                                         Because we got married.
                                         
                                         Okay, I'm sorry.
                                         
                                         That makes a lot of sense.
                                         
                                         When everyone's reporting the news,
                                         
    
                                         then there's no one.
                                         
                                         Then no one is.
                                         
                                         And on that note, I've been Joel.
                                         
                                         I've been Jackson.
                                         
                                         And I've been also Joel.
                                         
                                         This episode was long,
