I've been supporting the channel by checking out our merch at RejectNationShop.com and becoming royal reject. I don't know how they could end it without the who won. The age-old problem of verses. Yeah, and I like that, especially after like Godzilla-Cong. they're really clear on making defined winners. Yeah. And they didn't team up here at least for long, which I liked.

Hulk stayed crazy. Uh, you well, it seems like he just redirected, uh, his rage, Hulk's attention for a while. Yeah. And then I like at the end that his rage went back to Wolverine. Yeah. I just would have liked some type of, uh, conclusion on it because at the end of it does feel more like, um, a very long short film, which is what it is.

It's part of mythology series. So, uh, I do wish that it did have a little bit more of a, completion to it there but for what it is I think it's like it's still an excellent I think it's a great experience and that's the whole point is giving you an experience yeah and for an experience I thought it was really strong and visceral and pound and I want like the blood and the gore and the violence and it makes you and watching this at this point in time with what we're marvels at and the you know constant opinions that you hear about what Hulk has evolved into in live action and while it seems like people love Mark Ruffalo, the human being.

The portrayal of Hulk is also something that they haven't really seemed to get down in live action proper. And like I said at the beginning of this, I've always wanted a live action Hulk versus Wolverine movie. And I thought, you know, Rotoro would always be the perfect pick because you'd probably try to do it in some form of practicality. And you get some, like, giant actor to be the stunt man for it, you know? Or just build stuff for people to act off of, you know? And then, like, you could use close-ups and then, you know, I think it'd be like dress. Park where you could use like the T-Rex robot and then you add CGI to it. Then he would still get the violence though.

Yeah. He's still got the gore and everything. And like that crimson blood like feel like that that crazy atmosphere he can build but make it like a psychological horror because immortal, have you read any immortal Hulk? Nope. Immortal Hulk is a full-on horror comic. It is just horror. It feels like a Stephen King novel come to life, but it's Hulk.

So it's terrifying. It's creepy. It's unnerving. It's that Jacqueline Hyde stuff. And I'd love to see that on screen. You know, I love it's for people to buy some shirts from RejectationShop.com. I'd love that too. Because while looking at Koi, I was remembering that, oh, yeah, we got our new Marvel shirts.

This is our number, in a day and a half, it became the biggest seller we've ever had. It's fantastic. I know, it's my favorite shirt. I mean, with good reason. Very excited. I think it's a genius shirt. I know what I'm wearing to the first day of watching it. I know.

I'm ready. And I've lost a little bit of weights with a little big on me now. Feels good, right? I know. It's a good problem to have. I think that way the Hulk should go would be to have something happen that that breaks him where he becomes a rage monster again because I do think he's been Smart Hulk too long, but I don't think Marvel will go that direction. So that's why I'd rather see if we're ever going to have Hugh Jackman

fighting a Hulk. I'd rather it be in Deadpool because then it's a different. It's the what if option because I don't want to see the Mark Ruffalo Hulk and Wolverine as much as I want to see this. Well, there's so many things about that I love with what they did here that I do wish Marvel could learn from bringing in. There's like pros and cons to Hugh Jackman coming back for this one is like we get the payoff and the catharsis of having that fulfilled that he gets to do something with Deadpool gets that be in the MCU and some variation the problem is we're inevitably going to get a new Wolverine and then sooner than later now that you like that you need a distance from Hugh Jackman he was gone so long and now it's like oh remember

how great now we've got to reset that whole thing again for whoever comes back like they were already inevitably going to be comparable yeah Jackman but now he Jack was going to be fresh again in everyone's mine really wonder if they have them both in this movie now probably be a decent transition kind of like a doctor who situation you know what i mean like the torch passing the cigar bub yeah in a sense and i like the hunter side of wolverine here and i like the brute force of him essentially being some kind of assassin in a way but more importantly with hulk capturing the horror capturing the tragedy of this guy you know like we had a a little bit of it in the edwarden one but here like the the immediacy that you get just

feels like classic universal monster movie like you were saying jekyll and hide i was i was kind of feeling a little i think juggling hide's a more apt comparison compared to like the science behind him but the tragic quality of wolfman oh totally of like i can't i have a hard time remembering what i did uh whereas like um you know jekyll and hyde to my understanding they still kind of communicate and there's a little more nefariousness of jaclund hide like from both parties whereas the wolfman becomes this like violent monster who just destroys and kills you know uh as a combination of both so i like capturing that tragedy behind it and i also like the duality is quite like to say of seeing the monstrous side between hulk and wolverine like there's a reason why i think them pairing up

works so well just as characters and not just as physicality for them to go toe to toe with each other and the the brutal science nature of it is interesting too like they're both experiments they're both like monsters i love that they use the weapon x program to show him like fight the bear in the parallel of size and how like that would feel normal to him and how he was like a weapon and they're trying to turn Hulk into a weapon as they've already turned weapon X into a weapon like weapon like there's a lot of really beautiful parallels but at the end of the day they're both good men that feel like monsters and that's what i've always been fascinated by at wolverine is he's a man who did horrible things he killed men women and children but he always got erased he always had all those things wiped from him and then he just had the guilt of the weight of those atrocities and then Hulk gets that wiped from him like banner remembers fragments of that rage so in a lot of ways they're very similar characters tragic figures of monsters that have done things that have that have not been in their control that have also been erased from their memory and i think that the movies have touched on that but i don't know if we've ever gotten the depth that the obviously the comics have been running 60 years but this did a really good job capturing very quickly the depth of that horror like the mental horror of not realizing what you've done like the blood in your hands like waking up to it yeah yeah i'd love that touch that they did with i've never actually seen that or maybe i i i don't I don't know. Everything isn't blur to me immediately. When he's when he's using the Wolverine sent and sniff, when he's going around the crime scene. They don't use it a lot in the movies and it's such a key part of the character.

I remember the Wolverine game that was that leak and Wolverine basically sniffs around and they did kind of like a spider sense thing to like have him find stuff. Nobody's like, not everything has to be Spider-Man. I was like, guys, Wolverine is like that's a power. You just only know the movies. Like that's kind of a thing Wolverine has. Well, watching the animated series again. and I'm seeing how, like, oh, yeah, that's right. He doesn't really touch humans with his claws.

He just constantly whips them out and the big light shines. It's just a threat. Yeah, but he doesn't often use it. It's like, yeah, I have to fight sentinels. Just keep going, keep fighting robots. Always fighting robots with these claws. Because you can't have him stabbing people in the S-ed-dermort cartoon. But what he uses the scent and then it becomes a bit of that Sherlock Holmes-esque,

just theoretical vision of what went down, I thought it was a really great way to show visual enhancement of the scent. And that'll be a great way to distinguish the new Wolverine from the one we had. I think there are certain Wolverine character choices that we never got to see that this used. The scent, him being like weaponized in a more direct sense.

Like in the ultimate comics, he's literally an assassin hired to kill Xavier and he infiltrates the X-Men as it means to get closer to Xavier, starts crushing on Gene Gray and literally gets whipped into being like, maybe I won't kill her because I'm going to take time to sleep with Gene.

And like that's a fascinating taking the character. is like a Mel Gibson Riggs, you know, like that while I'm here. And I really love that, you know, much like Riggs, he's a, is a broken man who has a history, who was special forces and all these things, but there's an inherent, like, there's a reason to keep going. And there's a reason I want to become good. And there's this element. And I feel like we've gotten this really charming Hugh Jackman portrayal that is very

authentically Wolverine, but the character's so multifaceted. There's enough pieces we haven't gotten that if they focus on those, the new actor can have a better chance of not feeling like he's just doing Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. And the scent is a huge one. Well, I think the anti-hero side of him is, in live action, we still kind of view him as the hero. Always. Even if you lean a little bit more gritty and rugged, like even Logan, which is one of my all-time favorite. Yeah, it's one of an all-time favorite comic movies, Logan.

But even then, I wouldn't still call him like anti-hero, right? and even though Hugh Jackman plays to that he's not he's such a likable guy he's still a hero you know and this to me was anti-heral like I love capturing the monstrosity that came out of him

like the way this short went down when he's hunting for him and the way he's perceiving everything is he's hunting a mysterious ominous monster in the woods and then he finds Bruce and the second he detects who he is suddenly the flip happens

and now Wolverine seems like this terrifying monster like this guy's like a feral yeah he's terrified you know just like gaunt human who just like no leave me alone and that's the other part of Bruce Banner that I think makes you need that strong contrast you know

where I feel like both like Ed and that I love how they address that here he's as a human being he's terrified of himself all the time and I think this animation really brought that to life and I think in live action he's usually kind of just like

depressed or you know reluctant to dread just trying to just stay calm but but there's there's an anxiety to be in bruce which i thought it got captured pretty like more so like i love like the the heart rate thing and like certain things where he was like on the run but he couldn't go like there was this tension this ticking clock that i don't feel like we have anymore and i think adventures did it okay i think the sure the most we've had a hulk that feels like the comic Hulk was avengers like especially the brutality and like the you know the rampaging through the city and there was a charm to it but there was still a fear yeah i think Bruce Banner, I view as someone who constantly lives in a state of fear.

Mm-hmm. And not someone who can just, like, socialize. I know he can, but I, this, like, what was cool about this short is they captured not Wolverine, the X-Man. They just captured Logan, Wolverine. Yeah. And they captured them at their most isolated, they're most lonely. And I feel like that's what we got to bring with them back. I don't think, I'm not the impression we're going, especially with Wolverine the Hulk.

Right, yeah, yeah. Especially Hulk. He's a family man We've domesticated Wolverine And now it's time to introduce a less domestic Like post-exman sure He can be somewhat domestic But I think they need to bring in a feral

And I think that Hulk would be great to see Even if it's briefly in Deadpool His full rage self And I think Death Strike This reminded me I forget about Death Strike And I think it would be good for her to get a second shot Because in like X2 she was just barely

She was like a hot henchman Yeah just being hot Yeah like she was ferocious when she was fighting That stab moment when she's underwater, she is as... Yeah, there's cool visuals, but I don't remember the characterization very strongly. I don't remember, like, the history hinted at it. Because I think the animated series does introduce her as well, and I might have been one of my early... That must have been my early introduction.

Everything about my own introduction actually was the animated series. And I like the, I think a live action tends to shy away from making, especially women. Yeah. That makes them a little sexual, like the sexy. But I like the bloodlust that comes out of her. Citizens of the Reject Nation, or should I say Royal Rejects, because that is who we call those who check out our RR Apparel at RejectNation Shop.com. We come out with new designs every month or every two months.

It is personally my favorite way you can support the channel. Reason being is because we are involved with every one of the exclusive RR designs that are up at the shop. Every month that's been growing every month, we are getting more and more royal rejects. And I really love to hear how people are finding the shirts to not. just be cool looking, but also fit nicely and feel comfortable. I cared about that more than anything else. I'm a hairy guy, so I'm really like sensitive of the fabric. We got a bunch of designs already, such as our Super Marvel bro shirt. My sister actually designed this one. Deadpool Wolverine inspired, my personal favorite one. But then we also got our number one bestseller, the last

daddy t-shirt, which has Pedro Pascal from The Last of Us inspired carrying baby Grogu. We have Loki's Glorious Balloon. We also have our Doctor Who shirt, which is full of a bunch of classic Doctor Who quotes on the Tartis. We have space babies of the galaxy. We got ourselves some Star Wars inspired shirts. We got a boys inspired shirt. And we have a house of the dragon one as well, pointing those out because obviously we have new seasons of those shows coming up. And then of course, you got a bunch of other designs as well, like our Batverse one, Who Influences the Influencers, another Last of Us inspired t-shirt. And of course, you know, the classic reject symbolism t-shirts as well. Either one is an amazing way to support

the channel and like I said you get to look good while doing it so thank you guys so much do consider going to reject nation shop.com and also tag us on social media if you end up buying a shirt please tag us we'd love to see it when people do end up buying the shirts thank you royal rejects see you guys soon oh that's fascinating about the character and she's always been like that i love when jim lee draws draws her because jim lee's always got that inherent sexuality but there's this also ferocious edge to his line work that when you put those together death strike is like why is this so hot and scary like if there's like a nest to it

and then I think Omega Red's got a fascinating character arc that doesn't really we haven't really seen in any medium outside who's the guy in Chongchi with the arm yeah his name escapes me it's not Omega Red right no no no half ass to make it's literally a character name like it's a character that I've read

in two comics like it's one of those characters where it's like okay yeah but no Omega Red's in tons of books and another great Jim Lee visualization is just those tentacles drawing power and like draining the energy force out of people and he's just got this like super intense he's one of the only people that like Wolverine has a little bit

of like he has to keep up with and I thought they handled him well here and they also did some good stuff with Deadpool the first couple lines of Deadpool I was a little worried and then it built up like the first two lines I was like oh no is this not going to be a Deadpool I like and then the jokes really started landing and Nolan North is always exceptional

yeah I mean we don't really see Deadpool and mediums where he's not the lead so this is like a rare opportunity to see like how do you just like throw Deadpool into something and then once it really runs by camera I'm like that's great like give me attention I'm Deadpool yeah this was excellent I love this yeah this was a lot of fun and and how many characters do we just list like 10 and they got good characterizations saber tooth is the only one we didn't we didn't and he was just I mean that's that's unfortunately it's kind of

I've never really been a big saber tooth I've seen a lot of saber tooth interpretations in many media and many like different things right and saber tooth is is such a constant you know he I like the idea of him is he considered Wolverine's arch nemesis yeah and like there's some continuity where he sees his brother and there's some continuity where like

you know he was the big other good weapon at weapon X then Wolverine became better so he was jealous there's continuity like the current run of Wolverine there's actually like literally right now like this week's issue uh there's this cool idea where every one of Wolverine's birthdays saber tooth has done the most

atrocious thing he could to ruin Wolverine's life. And right now there's this thing called Sabretooth War where he's gathered all the multiverses of Sabretoots and brought them all to like eviscerate Wolverines and Tiger family as one last so he's like killed X23. He killed like it's this blood bath of Sabretooth just taking it out. That sounds funny.

It's insane. And so it's kind of like invincible where it's like all these multiversal things but it's a saber tooth's killing Wolverines. I'd really dig that. The comic can do that. I dig something from Sabreto's perspective. Yeah. And it's just like I must destroy him and he just can't succeed. Yeah, he's just so jealous, and he's like, I'm going to get all of them.

And all the other Sabretoots are like, what's, what's your thing with this guy, bro? Oh, that's funny. But, like, I think the live Shriver version was the closest we'll ever get casting-wise. And that intro to the Wolverine is amazing, where they're fighting through all the wars. Yeah. Remember that, like the Slomo? X-Men Origins. X-Men Origins.

Sorry. Not the Wolverine. Ex-Men Origins, when they have the intro, that's the better movie. It's like a five-minute credit sequence. That's the better movie than the actual movie. Yeah, yeah, for sure. But, yeah, I'd love to see Sabretooth get handled correct. Sabretooth, I just generally think, is a boring character.

Who was the guy? The guy that played him in the first movie. Tyler Bates? Yeah. Tyler Bates, I think. Tyler Bates, I think. Tyler Bates is the musician, right? I think his wrestling name is something Bates.

Tyler Mane might be his real name. I remember. Either way. He was a lot of people's introduction, and I felt like he did as good a job as you could with that script. But I remember thinking like, oh, they're not letting him talk. Like, I remember, like, I don't think he said anything in the first X-Fid movie. No, no, no, no.

Same thing with Death Strike as well. Yeah. It's just their event, but we've gotten better. Like, I mean, people like to crap on Marvel. It's very popular due now, but at least we have evolved out of that phase of comic movies. Yeah. I think talking about this short is really interesting because you could review the short itself, but then you can also see like things Marvel could learn and things that you kind of miss that Marvel ought to maybe lean into a little bit.

If you look at Lionsgate distributed it, it's not a Marvel. This was like John Wick and Saw, you know, they do like. This came out in Paramount was doing Iron Man. Right, right, right. That's what I mean by the date, like Marvel wasn't a distributor yet. They teamed up with distributors Lionsgate distributing this means Marvel had The characters they made the thing

But it was allowed to be like this Because they weren't the ones putting it out It wasn't their own house yet Different peak time for Marvel Yeah I think 2008 was like I mean I was just like X-Men then It was like Iron Man had come out in 08 This was probably like the same month or two

Of Iron Man's probably summer release And then We had had X3 in 2006 Okay And then Spider-Man 3 in 2005 I want to say It was like Spider-Man 3 X-Men 3, and then Iron Man was soon they're after. Because I remember it blew my mind that

they wanted to have Andrew Garfield in the Spider-Man in the MCU, and then that's when everything fell apart. Because Spider-Man was like 2012. It was like during the MCU, but my brain can't put those things together. You know, I feel like if they do especially revisiting X-Men and even watching this, I do think the key to really saving Marvel is figuring out your mutant world. Oh, Mutant

and Fantastic 4, like the Fox stuff. Yeah. I just went to... I think more than fantastic for it. No people are super jazz about that. I think we're just excited for something new that's big but I think that's been 100% like that's a whole universe

that's an entire Avengers to itself well it's a whole society and it's and it's one of the most captivating stories because you feel so connected to all of them because like you you go through different communities in like Marvel has introduced

different communities right Wakanda Chongchi people you've got the school you've got the ballash shanghi people but then you have but the mutants is

world wide problem. Yeah. You know. And it's a commentary in so many things. Yeah. So I really think that will, I know, yeah. I feel like that could really but Marvel would have to mature. I think that Deadpool's going to be like, I'm excited for Deadpool for

562 reasons, but one of them is like buy tickets because it'll show Marvel what we need. Like that's one of those. It's like guys, look look what's done right. You can make a billion dollar R rated hit. Yeah. Now make more of them smaller. Like you need Marvel to mature. That's a great point. That's a great point. 2008 was a while ago. We're an

adults. All righty, guys. Well, that was it for today. That was it. I think our review was as long as the short. I mean, let's go a lot of different discussions. Substantial. Yeah, I loved it.

That was such a good time. And if you enjoyed it, check out uncanny. I'm sorry, not uncanny. Incredible Hulk number 181 when they first fight, check out the ultimate. I didn't know he read Wolverine versus Hulk, which came out about 2004, somewhere in there. The graphic novel came out.

I don't remember. I don't remember most things. It's like five issues. I don't remember most things. A real quick read. the quicker the read the less you remember and then also check out

anything Wolverine Hulk that Ed McGinnis drew because it's some really beautiful violent stuff so check those three out if you enjoy that your mini Coy's comic corner recommendation at the end that was so glad I saw that that was such a blast that was great yeah well thank you to the 5,000 people who watch this video

we appreciate each of every one of you because we can count you see you guys soon It is the month of spring break, and I can only imagine what Flev is getting up to. He is watching all of our videos. People keep inviting you out going, Flev, it's spring break. There are girls. And St. Patrick's Day.

They're Irish girls. Irish girls at the beach getting sunburned just for us right now, Flew. Your sun tan lotion. We need to go. And Flev is just constantly like, I can't. The real Rejects keeps uploading too many videos. Too many. Hours of content.

And I made a promise to myself that I would watch every single one of their videos, even if I'm not interested. Even if I don't like the hosts that are in this said video, I have to watch it. At 0.25 speed. This is what happens, man. Flev, sometimes people become super sexy rejects. And then they end up losing their social life. I've seen so many people, they've lost connection with their families. One time, we had someone, parents, both dying of the same disease in the hospital, died at the same time.

But what were they doing? They were catching up on all the trailer reactions that they missed from us over the years. That's what we could all hope for in terms of a lifelong lived. Now, while we love it, now, while we like to hear it, we've been told that ultimately that is not. a healthy option for people who watch us. So Flev, my dude, hit pause on this video. Hit pause on that video

you were watching of Tara and Andrew and just go, hey, you know what? I do need to go outside. Women need my attention right now. They're desperate. Flev, they're deprived. Go out there, slather

some women in low, even if they don't want it. Do it. Do it. Just go up to them. Just slap it on them Slap it on everyone you see Man just everybody in town You'll be a hero You enjoy You enjoy what you're doing

Because you're doing that for you Not for them No That's your world Fleb we're just living in it All of us Reject out
