Starting point is 00:00:27 Happy New Year, people. this table's a mess and we know it we got ourselves another Avengers doomsday trailer today we're going to watch it it's another shorty John you good good love and thunder you're coy genre from DC Studios that's true I'm going to automatically hate this because we're not supposed to like what the other company does even though comic stores sell both let's watch this

Starting point is 00:00:47 father all my life I've answered every call Ghostbusters John Hopkins comes back Because Odin's always been Such a figure in the comics

Starting point is 00:01:05 But now fate It's given me something I never sought His daughter Thunder, love Love It's beautiful Like legacy with his father

Starting point is 00:01:16 Now he is a father A life untouched by the storm A life untouched by the storm That's beautiful The old fathers Storm breaker So that I may fight once more, defeat one more enemy, and return home to her. Not as a warrior, but as a warmth.

Starting point is 00:01:40 To teach her not battle, but still us. The kind I never knew. My father hate my words. Frank Odin. Thor. That was a really emotional, like, moment. That was beautiful. Where was the comedy?

Starting point is 00:01:58 I thought Thor was a comedian. It's got an Infinity haircut back, too. It's got that Infinity haircut. I directed this trailer. Doobstay clock. Say it every time. I'm excited. Watchman.

Starting point is 00:02:09 I'm just going to keep this in frame. We got a little transcript here just to make sure that we got all the lines down here, even though you couldn't hear him say it. I just wanted it in front of me just in case. So it looks like this movie is going to be a lot about fatherhood. You know, you're starting off with Chris Evans with the baby. They intentionally showed that. And now there's a movie.

Starting point is 00:02:26 going to the next trailer with thor with his daughter it's more and as of course continuing off from where we left off with thor love and thunder but it's also another theme about fatherhood what i like the most though and maybe you'll agree to me on this coy hopefully you do because you are all the credit i would need validate gregg and three like this feels the most like it's going feeling back to like thor from the comics a lot more with this type of dialogue it feels like infinity war which to me i mean visually it's infinity war thor which to me felt the closest to the comic because the comic to me always represents

Starting point is 00:02:58 that like big Norse energy it depends on who's writing obviously but there is levity in the darkness and this feels way more like it will land 90-10 which to me is the comics like I agree with you like he's got levity but he's not a comedic character and I feel like we lost our way in that at a point because the natural charm of Chris Hemsworth

Starting point is 00:03:16 this to me the poetry the language the weight the gravitas all of that feels like Thor and he even said all father like Odin is the all father he used it as like a play on words like the the strength of all fathers is a play on the all father and he

Starting point is 00:03:31 the all father brings strength that is the god that you know looks out over the godly kingdom and all of that beautifully mirroring what he wants to bring to his daughter and I really love the elements of like not being a warrior but like a different kind of strength and I think this might be Thor die yeah this is him going

Starting point is 00:03:48 through the protector side of it yeah I don't know if he'll die John do you think Thor will die do you think they can afford to lose another i don't i on the heels of back in avengers whatever on the heels of what he's saying here and what the sentiment is and and i i i expect a ride off into the sunset or more like i'm going to pass the mantle and i'm going to go and do what he basically says here i feel like setting him up to want to you know return from one last battle and be a father and just live that life i think it would kind of suck if they killed him and then orphaned that kid again

Starting point is 00:04:22 you know it's like it's pretty dark for marble I didn't thought of the orphaning he just got that kid like and I mean he says that thing about like you know the fate has bestowed I'm like no gore the god butcher bestowed this on cute

Starting point is 00:04:34 I mean to be fair I don't expect him to die I would be very surprised I would sooner expect it Steve even though that he's got a baby too there's stakes all around but weirdly this feels more

Starting point is 00:04:50 like a like they're foreshadowing his send off but not his death necessarily one thing that I didn't put together directly you said during the cap one or sorry the Steve Rogers one was acknowledging that mirroring Iron Man having a baby and I think it's

Starting point is 00:05:06 interesting that now we have two fathers and will that be something that we look at is like will we have something with the young stock like will something mirror that in her that Downey isn't her father because we have now Doom looking like the father to this daughter that

Starting point is 00:05:22 doesn't have a father and then we've got these fathers dude all the kids all the kids are going to unite because you know this also spirals they're like Avengers who are young but like baby the youthful like Avenger babies because two

Starting point is 00:05:36 we are coming off of and somehow intermingling with Fantastic 4 obviously Franklin Richards big old baby of import everyone's got babies in the game this time around Steve with the baby Thor with the kid once was a baby and now Franklin Richards

Starting point is 00:05:55 still baby And all of our Avengers All of our Avengers were once a baby This is crazy Dude Ant Man was a baby not even that long ago In end game He experienced babyhood And he's gonna be the key

Starting point is 00:06:06 This time They're gonna have to turn him back to baby Once again So he can communicate with Franklin Richards In the quantum realm And then yeah I think we just saw the mystery of these trailers Everyone was once a baby

Starting point is 00:06:17 That's true You know what I love of this line here is this really is like poetry what it's been written here it is cool to go back to this version of Thor yeah we're making light of it and this is my favorite footage I think this is really beautiful I think it's way better than the Captain America

Starting point is 00:06:32 than the Steve Rogers one honestly I think it's it's way more impactful even though it doesn't have the exciting new like someone returning element however the the way this is written it's showing like a paying attention to the way the response of Thor Love and Thunder went down and it's such a fascinating

Starting point is 00:06:47 trajectory where we've had it with Chris Hemsworth specifically because Thor Ragnarok seemed to be the thing that catapulted the presence of Thor and made him like beloved on a global scale in a way no one had ever seen and then let's do more of that and now everyone hates Thor on a global scale that we've never

Starting point is 00:07:04 seen because it was too much and now we're bringing it back to where a little bit more akin to Infinity War but way more because even in Infinity War he's kind of funny and they show that and I'm sure it'll be a little funny here. Well it seems with Rocket are my favorite because there's humor in the tragedy and that's to me Shakespeare

Starting point is 00:07:20 and that's Thor. Like, the God commentary doesn't work if he's too extremely dry or too extremely comedic. Because if you're too dry, it becomes funny in the wrong way. And if you're too comedic, it becomes saccharin. And I think that's what happened is like when you're, you have desserts as an addition. And I think we had too much dessert with Love and Thunder. I think going back to the meat of this is what we need. And I personally think this was more emotionally connecting because the writing shown than them just being like,

Starting point is 00:07:46 ooh, shiny. Yeah, yeah. And the one line that he has here So I can fight once more Defeat a new enemy and return to her Was actually a cool way to tease the threat level Yeah When I caught that in the ear

Starting point is 00:07:59 Ah man she makes him kind of spooky Because yeah this is enough too To pull Thor out of a life That he probably might not want to Leave for just any old normal enemy Yeah If he didn't have to Whereas this is like

Starting point is 00:08:11 Okay this is glorious purpose We all have to throw down on this now And even though I haven't seen Thor 11 Thunder since the theaters. I guess I never registered that he's retired. Does he retire at the end of the movie? At the end, it was almost implied she was going into battle with him. At the very end, they have that freeze frame or whatever where it's like, let's do war together.

Starting point is 00:08:30 We're doing Thor stuff. This is really treated like he's coming out of retirement, and I... The last we saw him, he was not retired. I guess I just didn't register that he had given this up or something. I like this more. I like the idea of him not having... I mean, her name is love. Yeah. So I really hoped that they wouldn't have her warring.

Starting point is 00:08:44 It would make more sense if he decided to go be a father in the woods, which is this feeling. Yeah. And I love the idea of something like Doom being big enough to pull them out of that. Yeah. But I really hope they let, I think Chris Hemsard's such a dramatic actor. I really hope we get time to let this be a cornerstone in a cast of 80. Yeah. You want him to actually

Starting point is 00:09:02 be able to achieve that sort of more Shakespearean level of heft that they tried with Thor initially that didn't quite land that they then found you know, then they overcorrected with comedy. If they can really find the gravitas here. I mean, if they're doing Secret Wars,

Starting point is 00:09:17 I mean, they are doing Secret Wars. If you're going to bring Thor and Secret Wars, this is the version you would need. I've always said the, I think the Rousseau's and Marcus and McPhile have found that perfect Thor. I think even Avengers won Thor found a way to make

Starting point is 00:09:31 the seriousness comedy. Like, does Mother know you weareth her drapes? Like that version of commentary work because he was the straight man to other people's comedy, but then I think that over time it just became a punchline. So I think this allows for something

Starting point is 00:09:45 that feels like it's actual Shakespeare. I don't know if you guys have seen Hamnet, but that was one of my favorite movies in 2025 because it found a way to modernize the language and to make the weight of it all, but it never felt dry. Like it was a... Hamnet.

Starting point is 00:09:56 Hamnet. In Shakespearean language, Hamlet and Hamlet were interchangeable. Oh. So, like, the pronunciation determined what it was, and Shakespeare's child was named Hamnet. Who's... This is this guy, Billy Shakes,

Starting point is 00:10:06 wrote a lot of words. Billy Shakes. You know, Billy Shakes. He also invented the milkshake. He did. He did a lot of words we used today, and milk shakes. He gave us a lot of words we used today.

Starting point is 00:10:15 Billy Shakes. noted writer billy shakes penned thor the original BS boy the original BS what a chaotic reaction to a very like all of this was hard we're like we're being ragnerock right now we're the one thunder problem reaction we said all the serious talking points we need to say happy new year everyone keep a lookout for a reaction to something else and i think coy's out of town for the fourth one i hope not i don't traveling but i hope it drops i hope you i hope you storm on over here in some way I hope we find a way because I want to see it real bad because this has been a fun. This actually elevated my excitement quite a year.

Starting point is 00:10:50 Yeah, this is way cooler than Captain America one to me. Steve Rogers! Yeah, that's what everyone's going to be thinking. That's what everyone's talking about on the internet. I like the different tones. It's nice. Bye, everyone. Bye.

Starting point is 00:11:00 Bill the shakes.
