Starting point is 00:01:02 We're going to talk more about them soon, and you're going to want to hear it. So hit them buttons. Let's dive in in three, two, one. Well, that was episode three. Really quick. Let's get the cast name, Coy. Prince Tiana, Maria Bacalova. Okay, you're right.

Starting point is 00:01:23 Yeah, who I think is for it. Flula Borg. Oh, Flula Borg. Got it. So was Michael Roe. Alan Tudick, he's playing Dr. Magnus. Oh, he's the surfer son. That's funny. I didn't know who that was.

Starting point is 00:01:37 Okay. Cool. And Alan Tudick is obviously phosphorus as well. Yeah. Okay. So, let me. I mean, I think this is just for this episode, right? Oh, these are the peak characters who are not the main cast.

Starting point is 00:01:50 I think because they get the opening credit. Yeah. Okay, cool. So what did you think? I am very excited because I don't know if this means it's canonical going forward that Mori Sterling is Sergeant Rock, but Sergeant Rock, it's supposed to get a movie as well.

Starting point is 00:02:05 Really? He's getting a movie? That's what I hear. He's getting his own movie. Yeah, he's a huge character in the comic books. Sergeant Rock's like an icon of an era of Golden Age comics that is, I think, going to be nostalgic for a lot of people because you can do like a full-on war movie. Let me just

Starting point is 00:02:20 entertain you and act like that is a common opinion. Yes, the people demand Sergeant Rock. Everyone knows. Everyone knows. When I yelled Sergeant Rock, you went, of course. I went, absolutely. How can I forget about the great Sergeant Rock?

Starting point is 00:02:36 When I saw him, I was like, I bet that's Sergeant Rock, but I don't want to be a fool. And then you were like, of course it's Sergeant Rock. Yes, I'm in sincerely. Sarcasm out the window, guys. Well, to answer your other question, I thought that this was another really solid installment. The first episode, very much a good hodgepodge, James Gunnisms. And the second episode, very universal monsters, and this one, the World War I vibe. And it's pretty cool that it all still feels a part of the same show.

Starting point is 00:03:07 It feels still like doesn't, sometimes they do things that can feel a little bit more. Like, this feels like I'm watching a completely different thing. But no, they all feel a part of the same show. And it's told within the story of the characters. So getting the backstory of G.I. Robot, I thought was really fun. And the way they handled the passage of time was also really well done and unpacking. Like, is he a soul? is he someone who should be punished for this

Starting point is 00:03:30 and they still kept that question kind of up in the air was it just a programming or was this really a soul and regardless I guess it's about the human response to him and then what is artificial intelligence can it be consciousness like there were questions that I thought they were actually raising without going to without making it too metaphysical or existential yeah yeah I thought they did a really great job with that

Starting point is 00:03:50 and they still made it really fun I was like it was extremely violent and this is probably the most violent one of them all in a way that felt really fun again like different kind of violence and i really did appreciate how when they managed to get to the violent moment with surcy so i'm still shocking it actually yeah felt like ugly and um not like fun it was like oh yeah the nazi valance is fun like inglorious bastards but there's moments of threshold yeah this was that was a moment like oh you think this would be the most fun you're having like uh kurt russell and death proof or something when they're all like punching him

Starting point is 00:04:20 but yeah wasn't it no it actually was like i don't want to watch they yeah yeah it was getting gutted by weasel and like seared and they're having so many too much fun just killing her. I'm like, yeah, I thought this was a good one. It was like the least plot. I mean, there's actually a good amount of plot in terms of like the GI robot backstory. The killing him off really reminded me of like how James Gum will handle deaths of characters. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:04:41 He often does do that. That's what made me question if he writes the, if he writes songs into, I know he does this movies he directs, but I'm like, would he do this with something he's not directing? Because if he didn't tell him, he didn't direct this, I'd be like, I felt like he directed it. Yeah. Because of like the song choices and the rhythm. much of this just feels like James Gunn himself directed it in the writing

Starting point is 00:05:02 yeah no that's a good point because I but since he didn't direct it I almost guaranteed the songs written in so he's like practically directing it's like I'm gonna do as much as I can but I gotta go make Superman I'm gonna try to direct as much of this as I can from the page and then I gotta go you really gotta fall my shit

Starting point is 00:05:20 he literally seven seven episodes writing this wrote Superman directed Superman like what the volume of his work is insane and not long after the suicide And I really respect to how they are 22-minute run times because it does feel like by the end, perhaps, we will have completed a graphic novel. It definitely feels like issues. Exactly. And like this issue was obviously GI Robots issue.

Starting point is 00:05:40 Last issue was the bride's issue. The opening is like the team assembling issue. And then it feels like we're going to get spotlight on each of them. But I'm wondering, like, I didn't expect GI Robots that I should have because it's James Gunn. But I like that we got his episode after the bride episode. So I thought it was going to be opening. each one gets their thing and then the team

Starting point is 00:05:59 at the end you're invested so it was very clever to have the first follow up to a character-centric episode Mercom thanks to Manscape for sponsoring this video

Starting point is 00:06:07 the global leader and men's grooming and with the holidays around the corner let's get real why just look good when you could look like me

Starting point is 00:06:13 enter the chairman pro package the ultimate grooming gift for yourself or that lucky someone and wants to be sent to your level of irresistability first the centerpiece the chairman pro

Starting point is 00:06:21 electric foil shaver with its 360 degree contour and head and skin safe blade options this isn't just shaving It's a god-de-cheve gel, turn it on, let that aerogonomic handle glide like a sports car hug in the curves. Smooth?

Starting point is 00:06:47 because you deserve the best. And honestly, so does everyone lucky enough to stand near you. Man, woman, or whatever pronoun is your fancy. Yeah. Because I wouldn't have expected that. because I was thinking everyone's going to get one and then they just played with expectation again. So I really like this episode because

Starting point is 00:07:02 I was worried that, and I think we even said in episode one, the repetition of killing Nazis is the joke. Yeah, that's what I was mainly concerned about. And so I like that he's the first to die because it didn't have a chance to get a stale. So much. There's only so many jokes you can make. So much of the same joke

Starting point is 00:07:18 you can make. I was worried. Because like it is a style of humor that doesn't always suit me. In this instance, the first three episodes, I did find the humor in the repetition, but I don't know if I would feel that way in six or seven. So this, I thought was really fun. I did, I agree with the violence being so impactful even to scale. I really was impressed that it stayed violent and then like, oh, no, there's a line where I feel

Starting point is 00:07:40 this is even in animated form a bit much. And I also really like that it had a through line for the A plot, but it still was impactful to the B plot because of the transitions. One of the things that's most impressive at this show to me is the editing, for lack of a better term. Like the way it goes from time period to time period. I love that he's spinning and shooting and it went right back in the 60s. I love the moment where they

Starting point is 00:08:03 cut from his face staring vacantly into his face staring vacantly. The transitions are as interesting as anything else and they did a really good job with the bride making the transitions the chase and that song. This is different because it's his story and again making it feel like a graphic novel, his issue might have a different

Starting point is 00:08:19 artist, might have a different writer, might have, depending on how it's formatted as a graphic novel, it really does allow for the same story transitioning through time but in a different way and i thought that was really cool and the motif that you feel like you're watching a small scale mission that is actually a world mission yeah which is what peacemakers did as well yeah feels like a small mission and then apparently it's a giant mission yeah as the world at stake is i guess that's a thing he does too like there's a this is this feels extremely james god even last scooby-dum where it's like a

Starting point is 00:08:51 small thing and then you realize like the world's at stake haven't seen it two is that actually good. It's actually not ironically. I'm not being cheeky. It's so good. I just feel like it would be so annoying. I watch Scooby to 1 and 2 probably every three years. Is it actually? It's actually good? Actually great. I have been the unfair

Starting point is 00:09:09 audience member who is like, I don't want to watch this. This looks annoying. If you think like Ryan Reynolds is Deadpool, Downey, I'm Matt Lillard is Shaggy dude. Like he was born to play Shaggy. He is so good as Shaggy. And like the animation's fun and

Starting point is 00:09:25 the second one, they go to like, oh, it's great. Like, I'm a Scooby fan. Like, those movies are awesome. All right, maybe I'll dig with shots. Guys, by, in the comments below, you tell Greg how good Scooby-Doo is. They're an exceptional. It's been on the list for like two years. Are you serious?

Starting point is 00:09:42 Twitter really want to watch this. Halloween just. I keep putting it off. Halloween was like a month and a half of you could have Scooby-Dood. I know. Oh, killing me. I'll eventually. You're going to run out of movies.

Starting point is 00:09:52 You're like, well, I guess Scooby-Doo's left. Plenty of things I've watched. here that I thought will be terrible and then they end up being like a delight. Yeah, and Scooby's gonna be one. Leave a comment below, make this man watch Scooby do. Also, leave a comment below. Let us know what you think of this episode.

Starting point is 00:10:06 I personally, Sergeant Rock was a character that when they announced certain directors are wanting to be in the DCU. Someone, I don't remember who it was, said Sergeant Rock and I remember thinking like that's a really cool way to have a generation of people that don't consider these movies cinema

Starting point is 00:10:22 be tricked into loving a comic movie. Because you could make a full-on World War I, like Spielberg, like, you know, operatic war movie. And it'd be part of the DCU and none the wiser for the average viewer. And then stuff like this where like, then you see that character or he's voiced by someone. And then you're like, oh, that's – and I think that's the way the DCU is going to work is, you open this so weird by having this so not like Superman. The next thing is Superman. Then we got lanterns, which seems more crazy the more we hear about it. I think the universe is going to be so disparate.

Starting point is 00:10:51 And then the connecting is going to be having Frank Grillo play in both. pools and it's going to allow the universe to feel more open than what I think some of the flaws that the MCU discovered where like there's a familiarity there's a roteness there's a triteness so I think Sergeant Rock could be really cool if this was his debut that's exciting we'll see if that works out the the quick flash of characters in the prison I didn't catch but the the dinosaur guy is like a super D-list deep cut and I think James Gunn making shows like this is the use of those so even like Dr. Phosphorus he's like a bat- man villain i never really cared that much about and i love them like you have on episode three so yeah

Starting point is 00:11:28 i'm really digging this leave a like in this video leave a comment below let us know other than scooby-doo how you're like in this particular show and if you're not subscribed already hit that notification bell so you know when we drop episode four and we'll see you next week bye bye
