Penultimate episode, Greg.
Reject Nation, I'm here to interrupt this video just for a little bit to let you know that for a limited time at rejectionshop.com, we have exclusive apparel, just like the one I am wearing right now on my body.
This is a reject sweater, the brainchild of the she-jacks, Tara Erickson and Roxy Stryor.
They really were like, you know, we don't want to just only do a Christmas one.
We want it to be a full holiday celebration.
I absolutely love this design.
I've been wearing this sweater an awful lot wherever I go.
It's a fantastic thing for you to gift yourself or to gift to someone else this holiday season.
And the other things that were launched were the brainchild of one Aaron Alexander,
something that I was jealous that I never thought of.
And that is the Scar Bucks Coffee.
They got the Scarbucks hoodie.
They got the Scarbucks Coffee mug.
There's also the Rejects mug as well.
There's also an addition to that, the Agatha Bruce hoodie.
I absolutely adore all these designs.
I am so impressed with the three of them.
We're able to concoct, along with the amazing artists
to help support them, of course.
We really care about finding material
that fits very comfortable.
Is it comfortable or comfortably?
Language.
And on top of that, too,
designs that we really feel resonate with us
and can also resonate with those who watch us.
You beautiful reject citizens.
There's a barcode here that you can scan
if you want to go to this shop,
or you can go to rejectation shop.com.
Treat yourself or treat someone else.
Either way, it's a great way to support the channel
and to support your wardrobe collection.
Wow, guys, we did it.
did we watch the penultant of an episode?
What If Season 3 episodes, something or another?
Coy, how are you feeling?
Better?
This was better.
This was good.
I'll take better.
I would not say juice was worth the squeeze yet,
because we've been through some trials and tribulations.
And I would have liked maybe perhaps any of these characters
to have been in any episode throughout the season
so as to have connected me to them in any sort of way.
But I do.
like that we have characters we care about now in the penultimate episode you can grip on any
strong i'm gonna find the positive gregg that's who i am sink my teeth those sure are positives
i found it's working how do we amplify it how do we add more ketchup to the fries there is a lot
of ketchup now but there was a lot of dry saltless fries for a while there was sure did cut up
some taters and eat them raw.
Oh, yeah.
But fries do sound good on a side note.
I could eat some fries, Greg.
I could eat some fries.
I could eat some mozzarella sticks.
Oh, that sounds even better.
We've been filming for long days, Greg.
I love mozzarella six.
I would like over some chicken.
I mean, I only didn't chicken, but like a nice chicken,
fries, mozzarella sticks.
Back in my hometown, we had the thing called the fat chicken.
It was a sub, and it was literally chicken tenders wrapped in French fries,
melted with Montreal sticks wrapped around it in a hoagie.
You ate it?
Hope you didn't die.
Oh, my God.
That sounds, wow.
They also have a thing called a fat cow.
It was that was steak in the middle instead of chicken.
A lot of people probably died.
Jesus.
The cholesterol bomb.
It was delicious.
At a place called Supas with a big Superman ass, Lowell, Massachusetts,
get yourself a fat chicken or a fat cow.
Tell them, Koi sent you.
That's why Ultron wiped out all of humanity.
Because we deserve it.
You can take care of your arm.
Fat chicken fat cow.
Yeah.
Fringe fries, mozzarella sticks, chicken tendies kid.
Real good stuff.
I feel about a store.
You can be going on.
I got out of my seat
I leapt
I don't have you noticed
but I saw
I saw my girl
I left you did
there's a coy
shaped hole in the ceiling
now
I had to come back down
but I definitely enjoyed
and I screamed as I left
I love Storm so much
I know you do
she's my favorite
ex-band and X-Ben is my
favorite team in comic books
so to see my girl
and to have her be
the one worthy of Mjolnir
the goddess
fully embodied
was pretty badass
again would have been nice
to have had the time
to invest in these characters would have been nice to know uh you know birdie was birdie it was a nice
little reveal with the parents but also like what is the key though because i feel like there's
so much of what of season two where we did not have that complaint there were the same run times
but we would we would hop into like they throw us into the middle of something but we would connect
with it but why are we why isn't it now i really don't know because it's the same amount of like
disassociation from the acting like it's a different role you know so it's the same amount of like
them playing a different take but for some reason season two i just cared about every episode more yeah
i really did because this episode like even this which is one of the better episodes i'm still very
aware of its flaws i'm still very aware i just met these people again yeah yeah like i'm i guess
this episode brought me more to like an intellectual logical um a curiosity level in terms of like
my mind being actually more invested heart i wouldn't think about stuff yeah i wouldn't say my heart is
more invested, but I would say my mind
is definitely like, oh, I
like what I'm looking
at, and there's things that are interesting.
Like Ultron having this existential
crisis of, oh, shit,
what have I done?
I was way wrong. I really
thought the answer was wiping out
everything. But apparently
it's...
You need people or things to live.
Like, boring when I am
doing nothing.
Eons ago.
And that life is conflict and
learning that life lesson is yeah that's a big part of it uh but yeah i mean this team i like
to pay off with birdie that was yeah i like that because i was like wow coy can't name who this is
oh he's off the channel coming to find out it's an original character it's an original character
the child of when they said exiles i love exiles so much but exiles is so many weird
like see and d list characters where they said exiles like fuck she's probably an exile i don't
know and i was so worried i said they're like the nerds are going to come for me for not
no one feather hair girl who's the exiles exiles is an x-men team that is interdimensional
they're a rag-tack group of teams that are preventing interdimensional
conflict so like they're a multi-dimensional x-men no cool it's like mutants but also a
multi-dimensional element but there's so many weird characters that are complicated well yeah
because they're they're like variants of characters that travel interdimensionally and
multidimentially so like they'll be like a random you know the alternate take of a character
that just did this this one time that totally changed their whole trajectory and
there'll be that version in the exiles, but that means that every character is such a weird C-list
D-List that I was like, she's probably a fucking weird exile that I don't know.
And the whole time I was like, the comments right now are fucking mad at me.
But instead, she's original IP.
Exiles are great.
It's such a fun comic.
Cool.
Well, that's not her at all.
Not her.
Brand new character.
So you got nothing worried about.
I am safe.
This felt very comicky, but in a positive way.
But I don't know if it was worth the fucking graphic novel that we went through of things we didn't love.
boy you've got four f bombs in the matter of 20 seconds you two might let's get away a one or two but dang let dialed back okay i'm not i don't i'm not i'm probably not gonna remember to mute that like this is what happens oh wait that's why episode seven that's why you read your arm f bomb f bomb review review episode seven around 29 minutes yeah into filming out here you know if who swears the most on the channel roxy or me oh for sure
sure are you no really yeah she's aware more um yeah you need to get your shit together that's why
women get it done like these these women get it done like like like peggy and the woman is what
yeah yeah yeah yeah uh peggy and the women peggy is not a woman she's a woman but i would just
say peggy and the women yeah she too is a woman yeah she's a woman i just
women other additional women a force that's the women team and ex oh that's right yeah that's where we
thought captain marvel too was going to be but uh yeah i wish nebula was on the team regardless uh yeah
i thought this was one of the more entertaining ones i don't know if it's like whatever i'll just
take it because my mind was going to be like well maybe it's more entertaining because by comparison
it's better than the other ones but it doesn't make it good on its own like i don't care as long as it's
better it's better we're here to make it through the end got one more gregg is better that was definitely
better we didn't have to be here we did not we're here we're here we're here
We're acting like we're forced.
Like we're strapped to our head to this chair right now.
We are trapped to be here.
We didn't get this done by Christmas.
It's the holidays.
We've come this far.
We might as well finish it.
We got to finish.
It's one last season.
We got one more, but it's the holidays we wanted to rest.
But this is last year.
So this is cool.
Bringing Ultron back.
I get what they're doing.
They're wrapping up full season.
And they're getting some of their anthology shit out of the way.
When I appreciate the effort to take it.
it back from season one because that's usually what you do in a trilogy right you go back to the
original that way you could have a good bow on it and that's what they're doing here bringing back peggy
they're bringing back ultron's that way they can really cap this off no pun intended uh but yeah
we'll just see it means it's a part one of a two-parter so don't really have too many opinions here
other than this is a little more interesting i think the use of storm felt very much out of the
ex-man animated series and how she like she's the friend you can fight into impart some wisdom
Yeah, the empathy and the action, which is storm.
Absolutely, absolutely.
At first I was a little worried that we were just going to get some weird
Some cameo.
Some boring.
I thought we were going to get some boring episode of what first of like,
because we're just trying to get to this fifth dimension.
We're just going to watch a bunch of boring tactics of how to get to this fifth dimension.
But now eventually it took a much more interesting turn.
Yeah, we can reexamine later how this could have been stronger if they,
even if they were just like cut to it at the end of every episode.
Throughout the season, they could have planted.
a little bits of this.
Yeah, just cut back to it a little bit.
They could have even had Bertie in the first couple episodes,
and you're like, who's that girl?
And then they could have had the egg episode feel like it had more of a point
if you find out later that girl is the product of the episode.
They could have also had Captain Carter go through, like,
what's happening, I'm trying to fight the squid intercut.
You could have also had a lot to going through like,
I'm doing these little tiny tweaks throughout episodes,
and he's being watched omnipotently.
There's so many things.
Yeah, to have, make it feel like for watching.
Yeah, to make it feel like you're actually building to something bigger.
yeah um that's okay we'll talk about that after the finale we'll wait right now i'll take the win
taking the win this is a solid win it's a solid few minutes uh of television and
see tomorrow we'll see tomorrow for the final episode thank you guys right here let's see you soon
bye bye
