Starting point is 00:02:57 That outfit looks dope. Nice. Film for IMAX. Write it back. I got to tell you something. Before we ever started this YouTube channel, John and I actually first tried doing t-shirt designs. Let me tell you, it did not go well.

Starting point is 00:04:36 Thank you again, Shopify, for allowing us to fulfill something we didn't think was possible. It's a great song choice. It is very good to recapture Kara. Supergirl rescue stats, and she's smaller in the newspaper while Superman's being propelled up. You can get most of it on the paper. this time good job buddy hungover

Starting point is 00:05:03 i do feel like she's doing a really good job capturing the yeah kind of like sarcastic sadness that she is the detachment yeah here by this is more than like 21 in the comments right i don't really remember i think so i think it was her 21st let's be honest babe it's not a very high bar to clear she has her their flame shot she has good functioning alcoholic energy yeah what was it like to lose everything in the time also excited to see more of this universe's krypton it's their first time seeing ruth yeah

Starting point is 00:05:42 are we gonna get candor this is so nowhere that that's the thing it does look a lot like i mean if it's a very cosmic comic book but you know there's that association where it doesn't kind of look like guardians is that crem yeah that is okay i just didn't really recognize well i don't know because of all he does look so different but otherwise why we have that close up yeah because crem's all bearded yeah who's playing him looks like that scottish guy from wonder woman her tear over crypto i love the inclusion of lobo you do yeah i do and i see the truth he sees the good and everyone and i see the truth that's such a great habit on like an awful

Starting point is 00:06:27 optimistic shot of her as she says that. I love the light, too. Very John and Greg coded. What? John sees the good and everyone and Greg sees the truth. You're damn right, man. I've seen darkness, man. And I believe in the potential people have to be good.

Starting point is 00:06:44 I've experienced a lot of death. I'll go to you first, Roxie. You sound a very enthusiastic. Yeah, just because I love the comic book they're basing this off of. I love the character of Supergirl in all different iterations. I feel like this was a really great first

Starting point is 00:06:59 look at what's to come. I think that it's very not plot specific which is an interesting choice because for those who know more about it you can take you can pick up pieces from like what we're seeing with her in crypto, the moment of the tear, that brief

Starting point is 00:07:15 shot of crem which is what we think is cram although no red beard. There was a close-up on him yeah. Not my crimp. It's not your cream of tea. Yeah, so all of that, like I'm putting pieces of a story together that I don't know whether that's real or not, but I thought everybody looked good, locations look good, I am trusting in Craig, and I think that this was a really good for a shot.

Starting point is 00:07:41 Johnny, Johnny Storm. No, I would agree. This has the right blend of stuff for me where it's like I feel like we're getting a good taster, and granted her little appearance in Superman sets the tone already, but yeah, we get a good taster for who the character is, what maybe the mood of the character journey will be and then the promise of a bunch of spectacle it's not too specific like you said but there's a lot of at least

Starting point is 00:08:02 what appears to be the breadth of places that we will go and the height of spectacle we will witness but I like at this moment for me having less familiarity with this comic now I get to wonder now I get to speculate now I get to kind of get wrapped up in the anticipation personally I don't want to see any more than this

Starting point is 00:08:19 because this was yeah the right blend of a cool needle drop good song again setting the tone well within the style of what Superman is set up, but I'm also excited to see it. For someone who didn't read it, do you get a sense of what makes this very different than Superman? I'm really curious.

Starting point is 00:08:36 I feel like we could fill in a lot of blanks of what it will, but do you see what's going to be different about it? I mean, tonally. I've witnessed Kara's story in a lot of different iterations in the animated stuff, and I know that her vibe, her philosophy, her life experience, and her relationship to Superman all make her,

Starting point is 00:08:55 demeanor and tone as a character very different much more jaded much more pragmatic and they wind up at odds a fair amount and I get the feeling that yeah this ain't Superman but it also doesn't feel like it's flying in the face of that you know it sets up what I'm sure is

Starting point is 00:09:11 to be a complicated relationship going forward where you know half the time you could be like oh good car is here and the other half the time you could be like oh I don't know about this yeah that's true fair assessment how did you feel that at Greg I liked it I liked it a lot.

Starting point is 00:09:27 I liked it because I'm already excited for it. I wasn't as in love. It's going to sound like a slight. It didn't like put me over the moon. But that hasn't like lessened my faith in it because I love this director. And the main thing that I felt like I wanted to be sold on more because people were kind of back and forth. Is Kara? Yeah, with her brief cameo and Superman.

Starting point is 00:09:53 And I wasn't 100% there yet. I was like, I need to kind of see a little bit more. And the trailer actually alleviated all that concern right away. I really felt like I'm seeing the portrayal from the comic of a person who's kind of lost and tries to hold on to hope in the midst of massive trauma and depression. And it captured like a lot of the fun and whimsy. I wanted it to, I want to sense a little bit more of the. I was kind of hoping the trailer would sell a little bit more of that, like, vulnerability,

Starting point is 00:10:26 which I'm sure will be in there, like, not just emotional vulnerability, but that's a big part of the comic is that she's physically vulnerable as well. And that's why I like the additional lobo, because Krem is not exactly, like, a major threat in terms of, like, a villain. He's more for the Ruthie character. For you guys, I don't know the story of the comic. I think we can at least tell the plot of it without being spoiled, right? I don't know, because it depends on how closely they're sticking to it. I feel like it's pretty close.

Starting point is 00:10:51 see Ruthie a bit throughout so maybe yeah well the the very start it's like the opening of the comic and the opening of the story is that this Ruthie character her father is killed and then she manages to cross paths with Supergirl and they through a series of events that I won't go into embarked essentially on a cosmic vengeance quest so it's a big morality tale about vengeance essentially with a big backdrop of like cosmic adventures and stuff like that. It's like the basic plot line of it. That's a good amount

Starting point is 00:11:25 that you gave. Yeah. And so the Krem villain is the guy who killed her father and they're going on that. And so Ruthie's a little bit more like composed and serious and she's more angry and sarcastic. And when you're talking about physical vulnerability, it's the same thing as Superman

Starting point is 00:11:41 actually dependent on the sun where you're getting your powers from. You may or may not have varying levels or degrees and depending on time of day and what the actual sun is. So, yeah, I think that they did a good job of when I beforehand I said to you guys jokingly and I think

Starting point is 00:11:58 this is off camera, I was like that's a teaser trailer when it's two minutes. What is that? This was a teaser trailer. That's what a teaser trailer is because it really did not go plot heavy. I think it did exactly what you just said, Greg. I think that's the one thing that they felt like they had to do

Starting point is 00:12:13 here because going into this you either are familiar with the comic so you're not concerned about what they're doing with Supergirl and what they did with her at the end of Superman, or you're not familiar and you're familiar with the TV show and you're really confused about what they did with her at the end of Superman, or you're not familiar

Starting point is 00:12:31 with her as a character at all, and you just are new to this world. So for any of those reasons, I think they really needed to do a good job showing us that Millie Alcock can convince us that she is this debauchrous, fun, booze hound

Starting point is 00:12:47 of a woman who is 23 trying to find her way and getting herself into trouble and can handle it most of the time. And I feel like that's what we did as opposed to saying, here's what planet we're on and here's the mission that we're on and here's the villain of this story. This was just like, y'all like Millie Alcock

Starting point is 00:13:05 because she can do a really good job here. Yeah, that's true. That's true. I'm excited to watch her supper through Krypton's destruction. I am really curious about that. You know, we kind of went a different, direction with Superman and his past and his parents. And I am very curious how her storyline is going to be altered because of that. And if we're going to get any more information about that.

Starting point is 00:13:29 Well, I mean, there's a whole chapter dedicated to the, her city, Argo, going out. I don't think it's a spoiler to say like a little bit is that Ben Affleck saves them. Ben Affleck goes in there with a film crew. Yeah, it's like, exactly. And they launch out in the spaceship. Matt Damon cameos, obviously. Is that a spoiler? I don't know.

Starting point is 00:13:50 It's not a spoiler. But now the Argo is like a city within Krypton that they manage to siphon off when the destruction happens. And they're like, we can preserve it, but it's not exactly successful. And so that's like the story that they're teasing at there, which is very dark. I think the thing, how did you feel about, I mean, we both felt like it was looking like a lot like Guardians of the Galaxy. The thing that I was very... You kept saying that. What was the, was it the coloring, the people?

Starting point is 00:14:16 I think a whole, a lot of the aesthetic and design. And then, you know, the song choice to compliment it to. The song choice and two, you have like a bunch of, you know, different, you have a rag tag band of, like, cobbled together misfit characters here who all look a little grungy and mad maxi and like they're all here from different places. It looks straight up like the freaking yondu people, ravagers. Yeah, it looks like the ravagers or it looks like the, the, the place. at the end of time from Loki. Like, you know, one of those, yeah, like far off outposts where all the misfits of the galaxy get together.

Starting point is 00:14:52 Yeah. It was kind of giving Star Wars to me, so that's funny that you guys are saying. Which is what Guardians is inspired. Well, yeah, and I feel like in a way I'm not upset about that because, again, this is a James Gunn Universe. So for it, too, it's weird. It's like it matches the gunniness of Superman, which also matches the gunniness of Guardians

Starting point is 00:15:10 because, you know, it's all James Gunn adjacent. but I think, yeah, because this is a more cosmic story, it does have some differentiation to do in terms of, I don't want this to feel like, oh, this is like Guardians of the Galaxy, but just with Supergirl instead. You know, and I can imagine that happening, which wouldn't be the worst thing in the world,

Starting point is 00:15:28 but I want this to have its own unique flavor. The woman in tomorrow is very melancholic, and if anything is more Guardians 3 than it is Guardians 1 or 2. Yeah. But I guess it's the hint of Logan? Yeah, no, it's like Logan meets, some type of melancholic

Starting point is 00:15:45 cosmic adventure. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Well, and I get that feeling. And I like a melancholy and a, you know, character who's broken up under the surface despite her functioning, alcoholic, so true. So true. Well, guys, that's our thoughts on the trailer. What did you think about it?

Starting point is 00:16:00 Leave your thoughts down below. Catch the live stream that coin air are going to do for this and the boys' season five, I think. All right. D'Rox, you feel good? You feel good? I'm feeling super You feel like that. Simmer. Super.
