Marvel Movies and the New Normal Transcription
1
00:00:05,455 –> 00:00:07,791
Welcome to Take Good Care
2
00:00:07,791 –> 00:00:11,161
and endeavor of Peachtree City
Obstetric and Gynecology.
3
00:00:11,611 –> 00:00:14,898
Our aim and mission is to serve
as a source of vital information
4
00:00:14,898 –> 00:00:19,019
and discussion for women of all ages,
races and walks in life.
5
00:00:19,803 –> 00:00:21,621
I’m Dr. Mironda Williams.
6
00:00:21,621 –> 00:00:22,172
I’m Dr. Deanna Guthrie,
7
00:00:22,172 –> 00:00:24,924
and I am Dr. Karen Greene.
8
00:00:25,191 –> 00:00:28,044
Welcome to our show.
9
00:00:34,100 –> 00:00:35,035
So those of you
10
00:00:35,035 –> 00:00:40,673
who are checking us out on our YouTube
channel can see that
11
00:00:40,673 –> 00:00:44,394
we are dressed
a little differently than we usually do.
12
00:00:45,745 –> 00:00:50,600
And that is because recently
at the time of the taping of this show,
13
00:00:50,600 –> 00:00:55,221
we all viewed the trailer for Black
Panther Two,
14
00:00:55,889 –> 00:00:58,258
otherwise known as Wakanda Forever.
15
00:00:59,642 –> 00:01:03,713
So we decided because we all love Marvel
and love the movies,
16
00:01:03,713 –> 00:01:07,617
that we would do an homage
to Marvel and movies and why we love them.
17
00:01:08,184 –> 00:01:10,403
But also, there is a rumor
18
00:01:11,154 –> 00:01:13,189
that at the premiere
19
00:01:13,857 –> 00:01:18,895
of the New Black Panther movie
that’s debuting November the 11th of 2022,
20
00:01:19,979 –> 00:01:21,981
that we will be wearing white.
21
00:01:22,465 –> 00:01:24,984
We we will be wearing white.
22
00:01:25,802 –> 00:01:29,155
So since we will be wearing white
for the premiere, we decided
23
00:01:29,155 –> 00:01:33,860
to break out some of our African regalia
in honor of the movie
24
00:01:34,277 –> 00:01:36,563
and our own collective heritage.
25
00:01:36,863 –> 00:01:39,783
And so we truly believe
that Wakanda is forever
26
00:01:40,250 –> 00:01:43,319
and Wakanda is a state of mind.
27
00:01:43,319 –> 00:01:46,523
Also, we launched this podcast
by way of introduction.
28
00:01:46,523 –> 00:01:49,976
We launch this podcast
right at the beginning of the pandemic
29
00:01:49,976 –> 00:01:52,045
in March of 2020.
30
00:01:52,045 –> 00:01:55,315
So for those of you
who followed our first two seasons,
31
00:01:55,315 –> 00:01:58,501
we did a number of shows
during those seasons
32
00:01:58,952 –> 00:02:01,638
talking about COVID,
33
00:02:01,638 –> 00:02:05,758
the biology
or the pathophysiology as it was evolving.
34
00:02:06,326 –> 00:02:08,995
We talked about vaccinations and just
35
00:02:10,580 –> 00:02:12,782
distancing, masking handwashing.
36
00:02:12,782 –> 00:02:14,450
Just did a lot of talk about COVID
37
00:02:14,450 –> 00:02:18,805
during those first two seasons,
and we haven’t really done that this year.
38
00:02:18,838 –> 00:02:20,790
Again, not because COVID has gone away.
39
00:02:20,790 –> 00:02:22,142
Because COVID has not gone away.
40
00:02:22,142 –> 00:02:25,345
Unfortunately,
we are probably moving into more
41
00:02:25,345 –> 00:02:28,164
of the endemic phase of COVID.
42
00:02:28,498 –> 00:02:30,033
So COVID is with us.
43
00:02:30,033 –> 00:02:33,953
This COVID will probably remain
with us for a while yet,
44
00:02:34,404 –> 00:02:38,274
but now we have to deal with those things
that we love to do
45
00:02:38,274 –> 00:02:43,313
life, work and everything in this new era
in what is now our new normal.
46
00:02:44,514 –> 00:02:45,148
So we’re going to
47
00:02:45,148 –> 00:02:48,868
talk about something
that’s fun for pretty much
48
00:02:48,868 –> 00:02:51,771
everyone that we love to do,
and that’s going to the movies.
49
00:02:52,338 –> 00:02:54,807
We all like going to the movies
and finding things to do
50
00:02:54,807 –> 00:02:56,309
with our friends and family.
51
00:02:56,309 –> 00:02:57,861
And for me that I’ll talk about later,
52
00:02:57,861 –> 00:03:00,630
I like to go by myself
and I’ll explain why a little bit later,
53
00:03:02,098 –> 00:03:05,118
but we still have to be mindful
54
00:03:05,118 –> 00:03:07,787
that we’re in an endemic
at this point with COVID.
55
00:03:08,121 –> 00:03:09,839
And so therefore we still have to be smart
56
00:03:09,839 –> 00:03:13,860
with things when we travel
and do the other things that we enjoy.
57
00:03:14,010 –> 00:03:14,427
So
58
00:03:14,427 –> 00:03:17,580
Dr. Greene helped to outline
the kind of run a show for today.
59
00:03:17,580 –> 00:03:21,167
And so one of the things
that she had me to review was
60
00:03:22,552 –> 00:03:23,903
an article that talked
61
00:03:23,903 –> 00:03:27,774
about why some people or why it is felt
62
00:03:27,774 –> 00:03:31,611
that Marvel movies are better than DC
Comics.
63
00:03:31,611 –> 00:03:33,780
Now, listen, people don’t don’t write in.
64
00:03:34,881 –> 00:03:37,700
We we’re not, we’re not picking sides.
65
00:03:38,451 –> 00:03:40,520
I happen to like them all.
66
00:03:40,520 –> 00:03:43,473
I like all superhero flicks.
67
00:03:43,473 –> 00:03:45,558
So this is not a statement.
68
00:03:45,808 –> 00:03:47,994
But just to get the conversation started
69
00:03:49,012 –> 00:03:51,714
and this particular article, again,
this was came out
70
00:03:52,165 –> 00:03:54,767
when the first Black Panther
movie came out.
71
00:03:54,767 –> 00:04:01,040
And because of the huge success
of that movie and the interest that came
72
00:04:01,040 –> 00:04:04,260
about at that time with the black Panther
movie, there were a lot of
73
00:04:04,494 –> 00:04:07,463
there was a lot of discussions in articles
about Marvel and DC comics
74
00:04:07,463 –> 00:04:08,815
and just movies in general.
75
00:04:08,815 –> 00:04:13,052
So this particular article talked
about how Marvel has long been
76
00:04:13,436 –> 00:04:14,671
kind of the dominant
77
00:04:15,989 –> 00:04:17,307
storyline in the cinematic
78
00:04:17,307 –> 00:04:20,843
universe when it comes to superhero
superhero movie franchises.
79
00:04:21,377 –> 00:04:25,315
And they mentioned in this article
that the hot streak really began
80
00:04:25,315 –> 00:04:28,952
when the first Iron Man dropped,
which is back in 2008.
81
00:04:29,852 –> 00:04:31,321
Now, Dr.Greene
82
00:04:31,321 –> 00:04:34,307
asked me to pick my favorite.
83
00:04:34,307 –> 00:04:36,709
I can’t say I have a favorite
84
00:04:36,709 –> 00:04:38,911
because it depends on what’s out,
85
00:04:39,662 –> 00:04:42,932
because when Iron Man dropped
Iron Man was my face.
86
00:04:44,600 –> 00:04:46,769
And so now that Black Panther
87
00:04:46,769 –> 00:04:50,039
and Wakanda is with us,
Wakanda is my favorite.
88
00:04:50,390 –> 00:04:54,377
So but that’s who knows what happens next,
because I like Doctor Strange
89
00:04:54,377 –> 00:04:55,878
and I like the seven rings.
90
00:04:55,878 –> 00:04:56,429
And anyway.
91
00:04:56,429 –> 00:04:58,998
So we don’t just mean stay focused now.
92
00:04:59,299 –> 00:05:00,566
Stay focused.
93
00:05:00,867 –> 00:05:05,188
But I thought this article was interesting
because they
94
00:05:05,688 –> 00:05:10,560
did a number of surveys and interviewed
various people who saw both Marvel
95
00:05:10,560 –> 00:05:15,948
and DC comic movies to get an idea
of what the market research revealed.
96
00:05:16,649 –> 00:05:20,720
And so what this article talked about
is that people, or what they surmise
97
00:05:20,720 –> 00:05:24,090
from the study
is that people prefer Marvel
98
00:05:24,090 –> 00:05:27,560
superhero movies over DC comics
99
00:05:28,044 –> 00:05:31,097
because the audience
can emotionally engage
100
00:05:31,097 –> 00:05:33,533
more with the Marvel superheroes
101
00:05:34,167 –> 00:05:39,122
that we are all drawn into,
the human connection that we feel
102
00:05:39,355 –> 00:05:44,060
with the Marvel characters, more
so than the DC comic characters.
103
00:05:44,060 –> 00:05:47,063
And I’m not sure if I agree with that,
but I do think, you know, as
104
00:05:47,063 –> 00:05:51,868
I thought about the movies, the
the human storyline and the relationships
105
00:05:52,352 –> 00:05:55,738
that the Marvel characters tend to have,
I think is developed
106
00:05:55,738 –> 00:06:00,093
probably a little bit more in the Marvel
movies, more so than in the DC comics.
107
00:06:00,093 –> 00:06:03,946
So you do really connect with them
as people, not just because they are
108
00:06:03,963 –> 00:06:06,232
superheroes and have,
you know, special powers.
109
00:06:06,949 –> 00:06:12,288
So I do see how that can be
can be something that may be relevant.
110
00:06:13,489 –> 00:06:15,141
Also, they talked about just
111
00:06:15,141 –> 00:06:19,612
their huge response, not just to movies,
but to the movie trailers
112
00:06:20,179 –> 00:06:24,200
that are release, you know, weeks
and now months before the movie even hits.
113
00:06:24,200 –> 00:06:27,387
And so with this run since 2008
114
00:06:27,737 –> 00:06:30,273
that Marvel has had with all of the
115
00:06:31,607 –> 00:06:34,110
superhero movies
that have come out in the Marvel
116
00:06:34,110 –> 00:06:38,514
Universe, is like the trailers
get more hits and views
117
00:06:38,514 –> 00:06:43,503
or as much as the actual movie,
as evidenced by the most recent
118
00:06:43,803 –> 00:06:47,807
Wakanda Forever movie trailer
that dropped in the recent Comic-Con.
119
00:06:47,807 –> 00:06:51,227
It had like a million views
and less than like 2 hours.
120
00:06:51,227 –> 00:06:51,894
Something crazy.
121
00:06:51,894 –> 00:06:54,263
Yeah, it is just so good.
122
00:06:54,263 –> 00:06:55,498
It’s just like, you can’t wait.
123
00:06:55,498 –> 00:06:57,650
It’s like you can’t wait
124
00:06:57,984 –> 00:06:59,268
for sure that they put it out so early.
125
00:06:59,268 –> 00:07:01,170
Yeah, well, is marketing. They know it.
126
00:07:01,170 –> 00:07:02,822
They know, they know.
127
00:07:02,822 –> 00:07:04,340
And that’s okay. That’s okay.
128
00:07:04,340 –> 00:07:05,875
I’m all here for it. Yeah.
129
00:07:05,875 –> 00:07:07,727
Hey, I’m here for a thing.
130
00:07:07,727 –> 00:07:09,078
I’m here for it.
131
00:07:09,078 –> 00:07:13,583
So again, the, the, the bottom
line of the research in the study
132
00:07:13,583 –> 00:07:17,520
from that particular argument is that
audience really care about the characters
133
00:07:17,970 –> 00:07:20,306
and the emotional engagement
that they offer,
134
00:07:20,573 –> 00:07:22,758
most particularly with the Marvel movies.
135
00:07:23,342 –> 00:07:26,329
Now, again, in trying to determine
if I have a favorite,
136
00:07:26,579 –> 00:07:28,648
I can’t say that I have a favorite.
137
00:07:28,648 –> 00:07:32,702
I just like going to the movies
and I particularly like going to see
138
00:07:32,935 –> 00:07:36,923
superhero flicks, any movie, but mostly
139
00:07:36,923 –> 00:07:40,009
because I completely immerse myself
in the movie.
140
00:07:40,610 –> 00:07:43,229
I am one with the characters in the movie.
141
00:07:43,229 –> 00:07:45,081
I am fighting the fight along with them.
142
00:07:46,165 –> 00:07:47,967
This is why
143
00:07:47,967 –> 00:07:50,753
most often before the pandemic hit,
144
00:07:52,188 –> 00:07:55,408
the thing that I did for myself
consistently was
145
00:07:55,408 –> 00:07:56,909
I would take myself to the movies.
146
00:07:56,909 –> 00:08:00,213
Typically on Friday I would go by myself.
147
00:08:00,947 –> 00:08:04,317
I would usually go where
I could have an adult beverage
148
00:08:05,034 –> 00:08:08,671
and some nice snacks
and just sit back and relax.
149
00:08:08,671 –> 00:08:11,507
And once the movie starts,
I am in the movie.
150
00:08:12,175 –> 00:08:14,327
I don’t want to be talking to me.
151
00:08:14,327 –> 00:08:15,661
I don’t need nobody sitting next to you.
152
00:08:15,661 –> 00:08:17,480
Ask me what I think.
153
00:08:17,480 –> 00:08:19,999
I don’t want to talk about that right now
because I’m watching the movie.
154
00:08:20,750 –> 00:08:24,237
So most people like to carry
on conversations
155
00:08:24,237 –> 00:08:25,821
with people
that they go to the movie with,
156
00:08:25,821 –> 00:08:28,257
and that’s that
I don’t want to do that. So
157
00:08:28,257 –> 00:08:32,028
I typically will go to the movie by myself
because that to me is the most fun.
158
00:08:32,211 –> 00:08:33,296
I can talk about it later.
159
00:08:33,296 –> 00:08:34,463
We can talk about it after that.
160
00:08:34,463 –> 00:08:36,182
Don’t talk to me during the movie
161
00:08:36,182 –> 00:08:39,952
unless and this is something
that I’m looking forward to do.
162
00:08:39,969 –> 00:08:45,858
We talk about our new normal and going to
the movies now in this endemic COVID
163
00:08:45,892 –> 00:08:49,862
because I will be there
for the opening night of Wakanda forever.
164
00:08:50,930 –> 00:08:51,714
And in
165
00:08:51,714 –> 00:08:56,552
pre-COVID days I would always go even
at Thursday night, if it was midnight.
166
00:08:56,552 –> 00:08:59,455
Star Trek,
any of them for the opening night. Why?
167
00:09:00,289 –> 00:09:02,241
Because I am there with my people.
168
00:09:02,241 –> 00:09:04,493
Yes, they are my tribe.
169
00:09:04,794 –> 00:09:07,797
They are the true people
170
00:09:07,797 –> 00:09:12,752
who are just thoroughly
into whatever the franchise is.
171
00:09:12,752 –> 00:09:16,556
And we are there together
because we are bonded in the fight.
172
00:09:16,556 –> 00:09:19,842
And so sometimes we may have conversations
and I have talked to people,
173
00:09:19,859 –> 00:09:22,862
perfect strangers, I don’t even know,
because we were all just like, isn’t this
174
00:09:22,862 –> 00:09:27,116
just the most amazing thing we’ve ever
seen in our lives up until this point?
175
00:09:27,833 –> 00:09:32,638
So I do plan on going to see the New Black
Panther film.
176
00:09:32,638 –> 00:09:33,873
I have not gone there.
177
00:09:33,873 –> 00:09:37,310
And of course, as you all know,
several movies have have come out.
178
00:09:37,860 –> 00:09:41,781
And I just up until now, because of just
179
00:09:41,781 –> 00:09:45,017
the different things with the pandemic
and I still have my father.
180
00:09:45,051 –> 00:09:47,820
I’m his primary caregiver,
so I’m still trying to be very careful.
181
00:09:48,888 –> 00:09:49,522
So I’ve
182
00:09:49,522 –> 00:09:52,892
mostly watched movies
after they have been released, streaming.
183
00:09:52,892 –> 00:09:56,479
I haven’t gone in to see them in the movie
theater.
184
00:09:56,479 –> 00:09:57,680
I’m getting back out now.
185
00:09:57,680 –> 00:10:00,449
I went to see the Doctor Strange
one in the movie theater.
186
00:10:00,449 –> 00:10:03,202
I went at a time
when it was like middle of the day,
187
00:10:03,202 –> 00:10:05,004
so it wasn’t a lot of people in there,
that kind of thing,
188
00:10:05,004 –> 00:10:08,808
because there’s nothing
like going to the movie theater,
189
00:10:09,442 –> 00:10:13,079
getting your popcorn or whatever
your snack is
190
00:10:13,429 –> 00:10:18,017
and watching everything in surround sound
and seeing the big screen and also
191
00:10:18,017 –> 00:10:21,203
being there with people who are there
for the same reason as you are.
192
00:10:21,203 –> 00:10:26,058
So I’ll be safe
I may put on my has met African
193
00:10:26,058 –> 00:10:31,097
a white suit and headdress and mask
but I will be going to see
194
00:10:31,097 –> 00:10:34,667
what kind of ever on opening night
that too got through.
195
00:10:34,667 –> 00:10:36,869
What about you?
196
00:10:36,869 –> 00:10:41,207
So as far as a favorite,
I can’t pick a favorite because like you,
197
00:10:41,390 –> 00:10:46,162
I love all things superhero
fighting the good fight against evil.
198
00:10:46,979 –> 00:10:49,649
So and so I don’t have a favorite.
199
00:10:49,732 –> 00:10:52,018
I just I like them all as they come out.
200
00:10:53,552 –> 00:10:55,021
I will comment, though, on
201
00:10:55,021 –> 00:10:57,473
your choice of going to the movies alone.
202
00:10:58,791 –> 00:11:00,209
I don’t mind.
203
00:11:00,209 –> 00:11:02,428
I’ll go with people
that that doesn’t bother me.
204
00:11:02,428 –> 00:11:04,764
But I would love to go to the movies
with Dr. Williams
205
00:11:04,764 –> 00:11:06,349
just to watch her.
206
00:11:06,349 –> 00:11:10,169
So what I do is
I make sure I see the movie first
207
00:11:10,670 –> 00:11:13,439
and then I can go with her
seeing it a second time because
208
00:11:13,439 –> 00:11:16,992
just watching her in
the movies is entertainment in itself.
209
00:11:17,009 –> 00:11:18,861
And I have to
210
00:11:19,045 –> 00:11:20,029
tell about Avatar.
211
00:11:20,029 –> 00:11:22,048
Yes, that’s what I have to do.
212
00:11:22,048 –> 00:11:24,834
Well, I have I had two experiences.
213
00:11:24,834 –> 00:11:26,452
So she mentioned Avatar.
214
00:11:26,452 –> 00:11:29,004
So the first I had only seen Avatar.
215
00:11:29,004 –> 00:11:30,289
She was I was one of the first ones.
216
00:11:30,289 –> 00:11:31,607
They started doing 3D. Right.
217
00:11:31,607 –> 00:11:34,427
And so I wasn’t she wasn’t sure.
I don’t know if I want to see.
218
00:11:34,427 –> 00:11:36,962
I said, no, you have to see Avatar.
219
00:11:37,380 –> 00:11:38,147
You’ve got to see it.
220
00:11:38,147 –> 00:11:40,433
So we drove to get it to see it in 3D.
221
00:11:40,433 –> 00:11:43,552
We drove way out Gwinnett County. I came
222
00:11:44,820 –> 00:11:46,288
and we walked in.
223
00:11:46,288 –> 00:11:47,840
She’s like, Oh, I don’t know.
224
00:11:47,840 –> 00:11:48,357
And then
225
00:11:48,357 –> 00:11:51,927
and the thing was, it was so popular
that we had to sit like near the front.
226
00:11:51,961 –> 00:11:54,780
Normally we would sit near the back,
but we were like all the way in the front.
227
00:11:54,780 –> 00:11:57,900
And she was fussing at me.
228
00:11:57,900 –> 00:11:59,852
But we let you take us that day.
You didn’t buy a minivan?
229
00:11:59,852 –> 00:12:00,352
No, no.
230
00:12:00,352 –> 00:12:04,724
It was like I had to convince her
that avatar, the first of 18 years ago,
231
00:12:05,091 –> 00:12:08,627
whenever that was exile,
then the movie started.
232
00:12:08,661 –> 00:12:11,197
And like I said, I had already seen it.
So I knew what was going to happen.
233
00:12:11,330 –> 00:12:13,499
We felt like that her face
234
00:12:14,633 –> 00:12:16,652
and and the thing is,
the first time I saw it,
235
00:12:16,652 –> 00:12:18,804
I didn’t see it in 3D,
so I was enjoying the 3D.
236
00:12:18,804 –> 00:12:21,807
But when that stuff was coming
towards her, she was just
237
00:12:23,225 –> 00:12:24,293
and I knew that it
238
00:12:24,293 –> 00:12:28,230
was going to be a draw, but watched her
because of a a prior experience with her.
239
00:12:28,280 –> 00:12:31,801
Oh, we had a movie
watch party at my house.
240
00:12:32,067 –> 00:12:36,138
This is now 25 years ago
and there is a movie.
241
00:12:36,138 –> 00:12:39,658
I don’t know if anybody remembers
it called Three Kings.
242
00:12:40,042 –> 00:12:42,628
I think Three Kings that had Ice Cube
243
00:12:44,029 –> 00:12:46,999
kind of Ice Cube was in it, but it was
it was a war
244
00:12:47,450 –> 00:12:51,804
movie about the war in Iraq
or the Iraq war
245
00:12:52,021 –> 00:12:55,741
and and what some army people
were doing towards the end.
246
00:12:55,741 –> 00:12:59,028
And there was a scene where
they were trying to help these people
247
00:13:01,614 –> 00:13:02,882
that were trying to.
248
00:13:02,882 –> 00:13:04,350
George Clooney. Yes.
249
00:13:04,350 –> 00:13:06,569
Mark Wahlberg And it’s cute. Yes.
250
00:13:07,169 –> 00:13:11,123
And 1999, I won a long ago,
251
00:13:12,558 –> 00:13:14,727
but there
was a scene where there were these
252
00:13:16,262 –> 00:13:19,081
there are people who helped them,
but they were trying
253
00:13:19,081 –> 00:13:21,033
to get out of the country
and they had to walk.
254
00:13:21,033 –> 00:13:24,153
But literally in the middle of us
watching this,
255
00:13:24,153 –> 00:13:25,921
they were trying
to get some other people to
256
00:13:25,921 –> 00:13:30,442
I know she stood up in my living room
and said, What are we going to do?
257
00:13:31,610 –> 00:13:33,379
You got to say, people.
258
00:13:33,379 –> 00:13:35,247
I was like, We?
259
00:13:35,247 –> 00:13:37,299
Yes, we. So that’s how it started.
260
00:13:37,316 –> 00:13:39,652
We’ve seen Julie Mercer stuff
in the movie.
261
00:13:39,652 –> 00:13:42,321
She really does so.
262
00:13:42,321 –> 00:13:45,508
Yes. But again, as far as a favorite,
like I said, I true.
263
00:13:45,508 –> 00:13:49,461
I love everything superhero
and I love women superheroes too.
264
00:13:49,461 –> 00:13:52,615
That just you know but I was tasked by
265
00:13:52,615 –> 00:13:54,717
Dr. Greene
to kind of go over the history of Marvel.
266
00:13:54,717 –> 00:13:58,637
So Marvel has been around since the like
267
00:13:58,671 –> 00:14:01,457
just pre-war pre-World War Two.
268
00:14:02,308 –> 00:14:04,376
And it first started out as a comic book
269
00:14:05,477 –> 00:14:07,830
franchise called Timely Comics.
270
00:14:07,830 –> 00:14:10,399
And it has changed
names two or three times until it
271
00:14:10,399 –> 00:14:13,669
finally became Marvel.
272
00:14:13,669 –> 00:14:16,338
But just a little
some facts about Marvel overall.
273
00:14:16,338 –> 00:14:20,492
They’ve grossed over $22 billion
in all their films like I believe.
274
00:14:20,509 –> 00:14:24,797
You know, there’s an article about
what gets you about Marvel, too,
275
00:14:24,797 –> 00:14:27,833
is that actors
that are considered serious actors,
276
00:14:27,833 –> 00:14:32,538
like not goofy comedians
or anything like that or child actors
277
00:14:32,538 –> 00:14:35,574
or anything like that,
but people who do Oscar
278
00:14:36,025 –> 00:14:39,745
winning performances
participate in these movies.
279
00:14:39,745 –> 00:14:43,232
And so one person wrote an article
so she could be like serious actors
280
00:14:43,232 –> 00:14:46,969
or willing to put on silly costumes
and be a part of this Marvel franchise.
281
00:14:47,036 –> 00:14:49,471
MARVEL But there’s that.
282
00:14:50,456 –> 00:14:53,042
But the two main people
283
00:14:56,428 –> 00:14:57,830
that are signified
284
00:14:57,830 –> 00:15:02,618
as the creative influence behind
Marvel is Jack Hertzberg.
285
00:15:02,618 –> 00:15:04,320
But he changed his name to Kirby.
286
00:15:04,320 –> 00:15:07,590
And everybody knows Stan Lee now
287
00:15:09,208 –> 00:15:10,192
in its history.
288
00:15:10,192 –> 00:15:13,412
It started out as,
like I said, one comic series.
289
00:15:13,679 –> 00:15:15,197
Then that wasn’t doing very well.
290
00:15:15,197 –> 00:15:18,450
And at one point DC offered to buy
291
00:15:18,450 –> 00:15:22,488
some of the characters from him
from what was going to become Marvel.
292
00:15:22,638 –> 00:15:25,107
Luckily, they said no,
293
00:15:25,608 –> 00:15:26,759
but it’s not.
294
00:15:26,759 –> 00:15:29,328
It’s not been a rosy
295
00:15:29,762 –> 00:15:31,981
history going all the way through.
296
00:15:31,981 –> 00:15:34,617
And actually DC started to do better.
297
00:15:35,551 –> 00:15:37,219
When you talk about
298
00:15:38,604 –> 00:15:40,623
public, you know,
299
00:15:40,623 –> 00:15:45,060
acclaim before Marvel
so DC first, you know DC had
300
00:15:45,060 –> 00:15:49,348
Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman
and they were very popular characters
301
00:15:49,882 –> 00:15:54,320
and then they came out
with the Justice League. Yes.
302
00:15:54,737 –> 00:15:58,941
So that was that kind of so
comic books were kind of going away
303
00:15:59,241 –> 00:16:02,778
because after World War Two
and it was in the 1950s with teenage angst
304
00:16:02,778 –> 00:16:04,947
and all that stuff,
comic books are kind of going away.
305
00:16:05,247 –> 00:16:06,865
And then they created the Justice League.
306
00:16:06,865 –> 00:16:08,217
Which kind of league
307
00:16:09,385 –> 00:16:11,904
brought back the interest in comics.
308
00:16:11,904 –> 00:16:14,390
So the other what was going to become
309
00:16:14,390 –> 00:16:17,760
Marvel had to come up with something
to compete with that.
310
00:16:17,760 –> 00:16:20,913
So this guy, his name is Martin Goodman.
311
00:16:21,113 –> 00:16:24,083
It was his wife’s cousin who was Stan Lee.
312
00:16:24,984 –> 00:16:27,236
And he was
he was an editor at the comic books.
313
00:16:27,236 –> 00:16:29,154
He wasn’t happy. He wanted another job.
314
00:16:29,154 –> 00:16:31,857
He really wanted to be an author,
they said.
315
00:16:32,241 –> 00:16:33,242
And so that’s
316
00:16:33,242 –> 00:16:36,979
why he changed his name to Stan Lee,
because he was keeping his real last name,
317
00:16:36,979 –> 00:16:40,616
which is Lieber, in the event
that he wrote the Great American novel.
318
00:16:40,616 –> 00:16:43,919
So he didn’t want his name
to be comic book.
319
00:16:43,952 –> 00:16:46,839
And then are you really going to write
a serious book, serious work, yes.
320
00:16:46,889 –> 00:16:48,357
Which yeah.
321
00:16:48,357 –> 00:16:53,662
So he got together with Jack Kirby
and they came up with the Fantastic Four.
322
00:16:53,662 –> 00:16:58,200
So that was the first
that kind of competed with Justice League.
323
00:16:59,118 –> 00:17:02,821
And then from that point
on, they came up with new characters.
324
00:17:02,821 –> 00:17:05,190
Then there was X-Men in 2000,
325
00:17:05,724 –> 00:17:08,961
so that was, you know,
that was a very popular franchise.
326
00:17:09,328 –> 00:17:11,730
Then this guy, Kevin,
I don’t know how to say his last name.
327
00:17:11,730 –> 00:17:12,798
Is it FEIGE?
328
00:17:12,798 –> 00:17:16,101
He was he was like a production assistant
329
00:17:16,101 –> 00:17:19,104
with one of the main directors,
but now he’s like one of the main guys.
330
00:17:19,104 –> 00:17:22,708
Now with Marvel,
he he truly studied all the marvel
331
00:17:22,908 –> 00:17:26,161
of all the Marvel comics and characters
and knew everybody.
332
00:17:26,161 –> 00:17:29,331
And you had to bring the storylines
together and everything.
333
00:17:29,331 –> 00:17:33,919
But just as a battle, Williams
said, Iron Man was the first real breakout
334
00:17:34,253 –> 00:17:37,940
astronaut of
and in keeping with her saying
335
00:17:38,273 –> 00:17:42,361
that they could relate to the characters
better, there were even talking
336
00:17:42,411 –> 00:17:46,098
talk about how they ended up
picking Robert Downey Jr.
337
00:17:46,098 –> 00:17:47,099
And then there were there was
338
00:17:48,200 –> 00:17:49,668
a bad boy persona.
339
00:17:49,668 –> 00:17:51,720
It was Carter who they said
was going to be the other one.
340
00:17:51,720 –> 00:17:53,005
There were two other people
341
00:17:53,005 –> 00:17:57,476
who auditioned for it,
and people thought that it should be them.
342
00:17:57,476 –> 00:18:01,797
But because Robert Downey
was kind of like the bad boy slash
343
00:18:01,847 –> 00:18:06,051
good boy, that went totally
with the Iron Man character.
344
00:18:06,051 –> 00:18:08,237
So that’s why he became so popular.
345
00:18:09,421 –> 00:18:10,105
Believable.
346
00:18:10,105 –> 00:18:12,691
Yes, he did them Iron Man. Yes.
347
00:18:13,075 –> 00:18:17,129
And and what made Marvel
start out with Iron Man?
348
00:18:17,813 –> 00:18:22,101
So Marvel wasn’t in the their
their ultimate goal wasn’t
349
00:18:22,101 –> 00:18:23,252
a movie franchise.
350
00:18:23,252 –> 00:18:25,737
That’s not really
what they were looking for.
351
00:18:26,004 –> 00:18:29,958
They wanted to make movies
so that they could sell toys.
352
00:18:30,359 –> 00:18:31,710
So that was their main goal.
353
00:18:31,710 –> 00:18:33,812
So movies
would bring people out to the movies.
354
00:18:33,812 –> 00:18:35,514
They’re thinking it was going to be kids
355
00:18:35,514 –> 00:18:39,051
and then they could sell all these toys
because one of the main executives was a
356
00:18:40,018 –> 00:18:42,654
he had owned a toy conglomerate.
357
00:18:42,654 –> 00:18:44,673
And so what they did was they took
358
00:18:44,756 –> 00:18:48,227
they did a survey of kids
and gave them toys to play with.
359
00:18:48,811 –> 00:18:51,530
And they saw
which toy was the most popular one.
360
00:18:52,047 –> 00:18:53,148
And it was Iron Man.
361
00:18:53,148 –> 00:18:54,633
And that’s why they chose Iron Man
362
00:18:54,633 –> 00:18:57,569
to be the first movie, which makes sense,
because that’s not really the first.
363
00:18:57,703 –> 00:18:59,338
If you’re a comic
364
00:18:59,338 –> 00:19:02,691
book person, you know the history
and that was not the first one.
365
00:19:02,691 –> 00:19:03,058
Right?
366
00:19:03,058 –> 00:19:05,928
So it’s just it’s just really interesting
how it how it has developed.
367
00:19:06,445 –> 00:19:11,850
But well, and when I think about Marvel,
I know there’s been a lot of movies,
368
00:19:11,850 –> 00:19:15,954
but you really don’t realize
how many movies there are.
369
00:19:16,338 –> 00:19:19,791
So they’ve just they’ve even just
they call it there are two sagas,
370
00:19:19,791 –> 00:19:25,164
there’s the Infinity Saga
and then there’s the multiverse side. Yes.
371
00:19:25,647 –> 00:19:28,734
And so it’s three phases under each saga.
372
00:19:29,067 –> 00:19:33,705
And we are now in phase four,
which is under the multiverse saga.
373
00:19:33,722 –> 00:19:35,691
We finished the Infinity Saga.
374
00:19:35,691 –> 00:19:40,229
And so there have been let’s see,
6 and 6 is 12 and 11.
375
00:19:40,262 –> 00:19:41,330
What’s that, 23?
376
00:19:41,330 –> 00:19:43,315
24 movies in the first phase.
377
00:19:43,315 –> 00:19:46,752
That and sad to say
I think I have seen or I know I
378
00:19:48,203 –> 00:19:49,821
and I’ve seen them multiple times.
379
00:19:49,821 –> 00:19:50,639
Right. Oh, yeah.
380
00:19:50,639 –> 00:19:55,010
So there’s Iron Man, Incredible
Hulk, Iron Man Two, Thor, Captain America,
381
00:19:55,010 –> 00:19:58,497
First Avenger, then The Avengers,
which was the crossover.
382
00:19:58,497 –> 00:19:59,331
Then there was Iron Man
383
00:19:59,331 –> 00:20:02,818
three, Thor, The Dark World,
Captain America, Winter Soldier.
384
00:20:03,118 –> 00:20:04,920
Then they brought
in Guardians of the Galaxy.
385
00:20:04,920 –> 00:20:08,357
Then there was the Avengers,
Age of Ultron, and then Ant-Man.
386
00:20:08,357 –> 00:20:09,841
And that’s when I mean,
387
00:20:09,841 –> 00:20:14,012
I knew they were connected,
but it was that first Ant-Man movie
388
00:20:14,129 –> 00:20:18,834
at the end, at the ending,
where, yes, it just blew my mind.
389
00:20:19,301 –> 00:20:22,487
And if anybody knows about that,
but like I said, knew it was connected.
390
00:20:22,487 –> 00:20:23,422
But when I was,
391
00:20:23,422 –> 00:20:26,942
I was not even connecting Ant-Man really,
until like at the end the movie.
392
00:20:26,942 –> 00:20:29,394
And I went, Oh, oh my God.
393
00:20:29,394 –> 00:20:30,362
And that was that.
394
00:20:30,362 –> 00:20:34,132
That meant you’d probably set
through the next ending then, always.
395
00:20:34,199 –> 00:20:35,300
Oh, yes.
396
00:20:35,300 –> 00:20:39,638
So it’s those next endings
that they were like, Oh, oh, wow,
397
00:20:39,688 –> 00:20:40,672
that’s connected to that one.
398
00:20:40,672 –> 00:20:42,090
That’s connect to all the Easter eggs.
399
00:20:42,090 –> 00:20:45,027
So and so that was just
talking about the trailers.
400
00:20:45,177 –> 00:20:50,232
But what also became
a catching point with Marvel, too, was you
401
00:20:50,432 –> 00:20:54,236
people sat through all the credits
to see what the next tease was.
402
00:20:54,686 –> 00:20:57,022
And so that became
another thing that Marvel.
403
00:20:57,022 –> 00:21:00,092
But then there’s Captain America, Civil
War, Doctor Strange, Guardians
404
00:21:00,092 –> 00:21:03,478
of the Galaxy Volume
Two, Spider-Man Homecoming.
405
00:21:03,662 –> 00:21:05,447
Thor Ragnarok.
406
00:21:05,447 –> 00:21:10,352
Black Panther Avengers,
Infinity War, Ant-Man and the WASP.
407
00:21:10,819 –> 00:21:13,038
Captain Marvel, Avengers.
408
00:21:13,038 –> 00:21:15,841
Endgame, which we know
was one of the biggest grossing lands
409
00:21:16,224 –> 00:21:19,077
and then Spider-Man Far From Home.
410
00:21:19,077 –> 00:21:21,930
And so now we’re in the multiverse saga.
411
00:21:21,930 –> 00:21:27,536
So there’s Black Widow Sanctuary and
The Legend of the Ten Rings, seven.
412
00:21:28,070 –> 00:21:30,439
The Eternals, Spider-Man.
413
00:21:30,439 –> 00:21:34,376
No Way Home Doctor Strange
In The Multiverse of Madness.
414
00:21:34,910 –> 00:21:36,979
Thor Love and Thunder, which is out now.
415
00:21:36,979 –> 00:21:38,580
I have not seen that one yet.
416
00:21:38,580 –> 00:21:40,732
And then Black Panther
417
00:21:41,817 –> 00:21:44,202
Wakanda forever. So?
418
00:21:44,970 –> 00:21:48,323
So like I said, and they’ve even given
a preview for the ones coming that
419
00:21:48,807 –> 00:21:50,692
for the next ten years. For the next year.
420
00:21:50,692 –> 00:21:52,611
Well that goes to 2025.
421
00:21:52,611 –> 00:21:57,716
So we have these three more years, two
and a half more years of movies with them.
422
00:21:57,716 –> 00:22:00,268
So there’s another Ant-Man,
Guardians of the Galaxy.
423
00:22:00,602 –> 00:22:02,871
Then there’s something called The Marvels.
424
00:22:02,871 –> 00:22:03,872
And then Blade.
425
00:22:03,872 –> 00:22:06,675
I didn’t realize Blade was Marvel sort.
426
00:22:06,708 –> 00:22:10,679
They’re bringing Blade back,
Captain America New World Order.
427
00:22:10,679 –> 00:22:13,465
Then there’s Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four
428
00:22:13,915 –> 00:22:16,168
and then two Last Avenger movies.
429
00:22:17,069 –> 00:22:19,338
So a lot to look forward to.
430
00:22:19,404 –> 00:22:21,206
A lot to
431
00:22:21,840 –> 00:22:23,208
anticipate.
432
00:22:24,026 –> 00:22:25,577
Yeah, it’s it is a lot.
433
00:22:25,577 –> 00:22:27,979
And it’s funny
because when I started thinking
434
00:22:27,979 –> 00:22:31,700
about Marvel movies, for me
it has a lot to do with my kids and
435
00:22:32,934 –> 00:22:34,136
my kids.
436
00:22:34,136 –> 00:22:36,588
Look, let’s just
first say I love all superhero movies.
437
00:22:36,988 –> 00:22:40,792
I have loved DC since I don’t remember
when, and I think that went back
438
00:22:40,792 –> 00:22:44,179
to the Justice League
and my kids like to watch it on Boomerang.
439
00:22:44,179 –> 00:22:46,314
Back then you could watch TV
and you’d watch Boomerang.
440
00:22:46,314 –> 00:22:49,017
So what I did was I bought the full set
of the Justice League
441
00:22:49,284 –> 00:22:51,837
so I could put them in the back of the car
and they could watch them on trips.
442
00:22:52,254 –> 00:22:54,272
So they watch my trips and my husband
443
00:22:54,289 –> 00:22:56,725
always try to look back
and then try to see the movie
444
00:22:56,725 –> 00:23:00,412
as we would drive in, which, you know,
but we all really enjoyed it.
445
00:23:00,562 –> 00:23:03,532
And it was a lot better than singing songs
in the car on these long trips.
446
00:23:03,799 –> 00:23:07,352
But we found that we’d often watch them
together, you know, in the evenings.
447
00:23:07,519 –> 00:23:09,388
And so we were watching Justice
League comics.
448
00:23:09,388 –> 00:23:11,606
And so for us
it was the Comic Justice League.
449
00:23:12,023 –> 00:23:15,444
So I asked my oldest, I said,
So what’s the first Marvel movie
450
00:23:15,444 –> 00:23:17,212
we went through together?
451
00:23:17,212 –> 00:23:19,381
And it was an Iron Man movie,
but it wasn’t Iron Man one.
452
00:23:19,648 –> 00:23:22,100
I think he said it was Iron Man three
because I had to think about
453
00:23:22,100 –> 00:23:23,251
how old they would have been
454
00:23:23,251 –> 00:23:27,239
to actually sit through an entire movie
without having to go to the bathroom.
455
00:23:27,239 –> 00:23:28,824
And that’s about having to ask questions.
456
00:23:28,824 –> 00:23:31,443
And so was Iron Man three,
because he does remember specifically.
457
00:23:31,726 –> 00:23:34,129
So he would have been
that was released in 2013.
458
00:23:34,129 –> 00:23:35,213
So he was 11 and P.J.
459
00:23:35,213 –> 00:23:39,000
was nine, and I am sure
they sat through the entire movie.
460
00:23:39,351 –> 00:23:41,486
And since then
that’s kind of been our thing
461
00:23:41,486 –> 00:23:44,306
that we go to the movies, you know,
we wait in line, it’s coming out,
462
00:23:44,539 –> 00:23:46,591
we get ready, we go all together.
463
00:23:46,608 –> 00:23:48,677
You know, as they’ve gotten older,
they’ve gotten busier.
464
00:23:48,677 –> 00:23:51,329
So we don’t always make opening day.
465
00:23:51,329 –> 00:23:53,031
We’ll usually wait until I’ll have time.
466
00:23:53,031 –> 00:23:56,635
And even if we’re on a trip,
like a baseball trip somewhere else, we’ll
467
00:23:57,002 –> 00:23:58,019
we’ll both find it.
468
00:23:58,019 –> 00:24:00,472
You know, we’ll find a movie theater
so we can go see the latest movie.
469
00:24:00,472 –> 00:24:02,240
So we’ve we have seen them all.
470
00:24:02,240 –> 00:24:04,009
We’ve
seen them over and over and over again.
471
00:24:04,009 –> 00:24:05,911
And then, of course, the pandemic hits.
472
00:24:05,911 –> 00:24:09,648
And when the pandemic hit,
it was like, huh, no more movies to go to.
473
00:24:10,198 –> 00:24:13,952
And it was kind of one of those things
that was like, Okay, what can we do now?
474
00:24:14,486 –> 00:24:17,422
So when things were opening up
just a little bit
475
00:24:17,422 –> 00:24:20,792
and we were starting to socialize
with our friends, a lot of the movies
476
00:24:20,792 –> 00:24:23,812
were being released on like HBO, Max
Or you could rent them.
477
00:24:23,812 –> 00:24:27,332
And so my sister in law,
she had this outdoor thing in her backyard
478
00:24:27,349 –> 00:24:29,634
in the big screen.
So we’d all go over there to watch them.
479
00:24:30,018 –> 00:24:31,019
And she’s a movie buff.
480
00:24:31,019 –> 00:24:34,823
So again, Marvel movie people
or any type of superhero
481
00:24:34,890 –> 00:24:38,693
superhero movie people, we like our movies
the way we like our movies.
482
00:24:38,910 –> 00:24:40,011
We want to see it.
483
00:24:40,011 –> 00:24:41,179
We want to enjoy it.
484
00:24:41,179 –> 00:24:43,548
Don’t ask me why this is happening.
485
00:24:43,548 –> 00:24:46,134
You should already know in the U. S.
486
00:24:46,318 –> 00:24:49,104
I can’t tell you in. My son went to
487
00:24:50,272 –> 00:24:52,891
Doctor Strange
recently because he hadn’t seen it.
488
00:24:52,891 –> 00:24:55,927
Because I think I saw it with my older
side of my younger son was wasn’t around.
489
00:24:55,927 –> 00:24:58,847
And so he went in with his friends
and I had to laugh
490
00:24:59,447 –> 00:25:01,850
because he went to the movies
with three people.
491
00:25:01,850 –> 00:25:04,719
There were movie buffs like he was.
I sat in the hotel.
492
00:25:04,736 –> 00:25:06,955
They were chatting the whole time.
They were asking questions.
493
00:25:06,955 –> 00:25:08,790
I said, PA, you didn’t really enjoy.
494
00:25:08,790 –> 00:25:10,892
He said, Now we got to see that again
because I missed something.
495
00:25:12,511 –> 00:25:14,129
And you don’t want to miss anything.
496
00:25:14,129 –> 00:25:15,830
You want to see it in the news.
497
00:25:15,830 –> 00:25:18,984
You have to, but you want to see it
from the beginning to the end.
498
00:25:18,984 –> 00:25:22,587
So the outdoor movies that my sister
was doing, the pandemic was one way.
499
00:25:22,587 –> 00:25:24,956
I kind of got my Marvel fix,
and there’s a whole article.
500
00:25:24,956 –> 00:25:28,293
One of the articles I read talks
about why I hate that I love Marvel movies
501
00:25:28,493 –> 00:25:30,829
because I really realize
I become a marvel nerd
502
00:25:31,279 –> 00:25:34,382
that during the pandemic
I was like, Okay, what else can I watch?
503
00:25:34,382 –> 00:25:38,537
So Disney came out with all these little,
you know, series I watched them all.
504
00:25:38,987 –> 00:25:41,640
I watch Wanda vision had no idea
what Wanda vision was about,
505
00:25:41,907 –> 00:25:44,943
but was very glad I watched it because,
um, Doctor Strange came out.
506
00:25:44,943 –> 00:25:46,978
I mean, yeah, yeah, I understand.
507
00:25:46,978 –> 00:25:49,848
And I watched the Captain America
508
00:25:50,398 –> 00:25:54,019
the with the Captain America one that
they did, I can’t remember the name of it.
509
00:25:54,202 –> 00:25:56,221
And so that kind of good and yeah. Yeah.
510
00:25:56,638 –> 00:25:59,841
And you know that kind of but
the rest of that story together because,
511
00:26:00,058 –> 00:26:03,211
you know, Captain America is, you know,
not going to be Captain America anymore.
512
00:26:03,211 –> 00:26:04,262
So that was the transition.
513
00:26:04,262 –> 00:26:05,747
I was like, okay,
well now that makes sense.
514
00:26:05,747 –> 00:26:07,499
And then a Winter Soldier
and how he connected
515
00:26:07,499 –> 00:26:09,150
and why he became the Winter Soldier.
516
00:26:09,150 –> 00:26:11,119
And so I’d watch all the movies.
517
00:26:11,119 –> 00:26:12,354
I watched other little series.
518
00:26:12,354 –> 00:26:14,072
And of course, the problem with Disney,
519
00:26:14,072 –> 00:26:16,074
you can sit there
and watch the whole thing
520
00:26:16,074 –> 00:26:18,093
and then you’re done
wishing for more, right?
521
00:26:18,109 –> 00:26:18,977
So what do I do?
522
00:26:18,977 –> 00:26:21,980
I get on Google and I start looking things
up and I try to figure out,
523
00:26:21,980 –> 00:26:24,416
So why is Wanda vision
and who is this one person?
524
00:26:24,416 –> 00:26:25,917
I’m looking up all this information.
525
00:26:25,917 –> 00:26:30,538
So, you know, for us as a family,
that was my quick fix
526
00:26:30,538 –> 00:26:32,641
and that was kind of my release
during the pandemic.
527
00:26:32,641 –> 00:26:36,911
And the DC, you know, Marvel kind
of battle has always been in our house.
528
00:26:36,911 –> 00:26:40,165
So we’ve decided, you know,
I read the article about how marvelous
529
00:26:40,198 –> 00:26:43,668
gets more into your emotion, and
I would agree the movies definitely do.
530
00:26:43,852 –> 00:26:47,822
I love the DC movies and I don’t really
have a favorite one versus the other.
531
00:26:48,173 –> 00:26:52,127
But I would say personally as a family,
we like the DC Cartoon
532
00:26:52,127 –> 00:26:55,981
Justice League a lot better
than, you know, the DC movies.
533
00:26:55,981 –> 00:26:58,950
Now we enjoy the movies because one
that came out, Wonder Woman came out.
534
00:26:58,950 –> 00:27:02,087
Of course I was there,
but we really liked the Justice League.
535
00:27:02,087 –> 00:27:05,357
And so we’ll be on HBO
and we’ll watch all of the Superman.
536
00:27:05,357 –> 00:27:07,959
I mean, there are Superman movie cartoons
that you’ve never heard of. Wow.
537
00:27:08,059 –> 00:27:11,129
If you come to our house on a Friday
afternoon, we’re not doing anything.
538
00:27:11,129 –> 00:27:13,581
We’re watching the cartoon as a family,
539
00:27:13,581 –> 00:27:15,900
people have come over and said,
Why are you watching this?
540
00:27:15,900 –> 00:27:18,303
It’s the cartoons like now.
You’ve never seen a cartoon like this.
541
00:27:18,303 –> 00:27:20,088
And it’s not just it’s not just cartoon.
542
00:27:20,088 –> 00:27:21,539
And this the you know, as
543
00:27:21,539 –> 00:27:25,910
my kids would say, the CGI,
you know, has improved so much.
544
00:27:25,910 –> 00:27:28,680
So that’s
I think that that is definitely our thing.
545
00:27:28,913 –> 00:27:32,851
And when COVID started,
people were vaccinated.
546
00:27:32,851 –> 00:27:35,837
And, you know,
we could actually go to the movies we did.
547
00:27:35,987 –> 00:27:36,888
We went to the movies.
548
00:27:36,888 –> 00:27:38,490
We wouldn’t go on opening day
549
00:27:38,490 –> 00:27:40,909
because we want to go where,
you know, there wasn’t a lot of people.
550
00:27:41,209 –> 00:27:45,063
And it wasn’t until last December
when Superman came out on opening day.
551
00:27:45,063 –> 00:27:46,548
We actually won on opening day.
552
00:27:46,548 –> 00:27:50,452
And that was the first time we had been
to an opening day movie in a long time.
553
00:27:50,935 –> 00:27:54,322
So we get to the theater and I was like,
Oh, we’re going to be sit
554
00:27:54,322 –> 00:27:56,124
with all these people in our
It starts the race.
555
00:27:56,124 –> 00:27:58,777
I’m like, okay, I put on my mask
a scooch close to Glenn.
556
00:27:58,877 –> 00:28:00,478
Casey’s in front of me.
557
00:28:00,478 –> 00:28:03,198
You get in the theater,
everybody has on their costumes,
558
00:28:03,198 –> 00:28:05,967
they got on their masks
and they are all for the movie.
559
00:28:06,017 –> 00:28:07,469
Yeah, they’re all for the movie.
560
00:28:07,469 –> 00:28:10,789
And it was it was a wonderful experience,
you know, to just be there.
561
00:28:10,789 –> 00:28:12,440
And I was like, I’m back as doctor,
562
00:28:12,440 –> 00:28:14,959
which is to say with my people,
my people, with my people.
563
00:28:14,959 –> 00:28:18,329
So my,
my favorite movie has probably got to be
564
00:28:18,680 –> 00:28:23,318
Avengers Endgame the second one
because that was too much for me,
565
00:28:23,351 –> 00:28:27,021
my heart when, when they all came out,
came back with cheering.
566
00:28:27,021 –> 00:28:31,159
I was with
I was just like, yes, yes, Jaws, you know.
567
00:28:31,976 –> 00:28:34,646
And suddenly all your six or Yeah.
568
00:28:34,646 –> 00:28:35,480
Something and then they
569
00:28:36,531 –> 00:28:38,550
go, okay, okay.
570
00:28:39,117 –> 00:28:43,104
And sadly I watch it on TV
and I still do the same thing.
571
00:28:43,104 –> 00:28:45,056
I’m all excited. My heart is racing.
572
00:28:45,056 –> 00:28:47,809
It is the emotion.
Yeah. Is the excitement.
573
00:28:47,809 –> 00:28:50,245
Yeah, it’s the representation.
574
00:28:50,245 –> 00:28:52,497
When you see, you know, Captain Marvel,
575
00:28:52,497 –> 00:28:55,567
you know, she’s, like,
more powerful than anybody, I think.
576
00:28:55,850 –> 00:28:57,302
Yeah. She’s deaf as me.
577
00:28:57,302 –> 00:28:59,454
Can I say that? Oops,
578
00:28:59,454 –> 00:29:00,138
I said a bad word.
579
00:29:00,138 –> 00:29:03,324
Oh, I didn’t mean that.
580
00:29:03,324 –> 00:29:04,259
But she is.
581
00:29:04,259 –> 00:29:05,927
She is. Yes, she’s a BFD.
582
00:29:05,927 –> 00:29:09,414
Yes, she’s bad ass and we enjoy it.
583
00:29:09,831 –> 00:29:11,032
We really enjoy it.
584
00:29:11,032 –> 00:29:14,602
You know, we, we,
we go back and forth about who on DC
585
00:29:14,602 –> 00:29:17,422
is better,
you know, Superman versus Batman.
586
00:29:17,605 –> 00:29:18,540
I like Batman
587
00:29:18,540 –> 00:29:22,710
because Batman smart, Superman’s powerful,
but Batman has better toys.
588
00:29:22,710 –> 00:29:24,779
You know,
I don’t do the toy thing. And he.
589
00:29:24,779 –> 00:29:25,947
Yes, I’ll have a Spider-Man.
590
00:29:25,947 –> 00:29:28,082
I well, I have some toys.
591
00:29:28,850 –> 00:29:32,570
Speaking of Superman,
that’s the first movie that they said
592
00:29:32,570 –> 00:29:36,141
that made the superhero movies
become adult
593
00:29:36,407 –> 00:29:39,294
movies back in 1978
with Christopher Reeve.
594
00:29:39,294 –> 00:29:42,647
And I remember that
we had just moved to Atlanta
595
00:29:43,081 –> 00:29:46,584
like in 1978, and that movie came out.
596
00:29:46,968 –> 00:29:48,353
I begged.
597
00:29:49,337 –> 00:29:52,440
I begged my father.
598
00:29:52,440 –> 00:29:56,728
He’s scary that and that was
the first movie that we saw in Atlanta.
599
00:29:57,228 –> 00:30:00,181
And they were saying that the person,
the directors,
600
00:30:00,415 –> 00:30:03,268
that’s when they got, like,
serious actors to start playing for.
601
00:30:03,268 –> 00:30:05,303
They got Gene Hackman and Marlon Brando.
602
00:30:05,970 –> 00:30:09,290
And that was the start of the adult
superhero movie.
603
00:30:09,440 –> 00:30:11,793
And now they’re going to change Superman
to somebody else.
604
00:30:11,793 –> 00:30:14,662
So I really like the current Superman
or Henry Cavill.
605
00:30:14,696 –> 00:30:16,397
He’s going to be somebody
different next time.
606
00:30:16,397 –> 00:30:18,850
And I’m just like, you know,
I get attached to the character
607
00:30:18,917 –> 00:30:22,187
because it’s just like, Well,
I love Tobey Maguire, Spider-Man.
608
00:30:22,187 –> 00:30:24,472
And then they
then they had the same thing.
609
00:30:24,472 –> 00:30:29,277
I was a Tobey Maguire Spider-Man woman
until the new guy
610
00:30:29,911 –> 00:30:31,830
and Tom, what’s his name?
611
00:30:31,830 –> 00:30:32,514
Holland. Tom.
612
00:30:32,514 –> 00:30:34,799
Oh, so I like him too. So.
613
00:30:34,799 –> 00:30:35,967
So you haven’t seen Spider-Man?
614
00:30:35,967 –> 00:30:37,852
No way home. Yes, I have. Yeah, okay.
615
00:30:37,852 –> 00:30:40,522
But I didn’t see it in the movie theater,
but it’s still a great movie.
616
00:30:40,522 –> 00:30:42,390
Oh, it’s a great movie.
My kids thought that was the best.
617
00:30:42,390 –> 00:30:44,092
Yeah, yeah. And yeah.
618
00:30:44,092 –> 00:30:44,792
You know, it’s funny,
619
00:30:44,792 –> 00:30:46,828
I think that people think movies
are the best movie
620
00:30:46,828 –> 00:30:48,796
depending on what they like
about the movies.
621
00:30:48,796 –> 00:30:50,298
You know, I like the people.
622
00:30:50,298 –> 00:30:52,350
I like the relationship. It’s my kids.
623
00:30:52,584 –> 00:30:55,053
They like the action. My husband,
he wants a bunch of kill in a month.
624
00:30:56,304 –> 00:30:58,940
Of course, you know, it’s the Spider-Man,
wasn’t it, for him?
625
00:30:58,940 –> 00:31:01,009
But Spider-Man,
I was like, but they Paramount part.
626
00:31:01,009 –> 00:31:02,060
This is great. Yeah.
627
00:31:02,060 –> 00:31:05,013
And then they had the Daredevil guy,
which is why I’m not watching Daredevil
628
00:31:06,030 –> 00:31:07,498
on Disney.
629
00:31:07,498 –> 00:31:12,120
Well, as you can see,
we all very much enjoy movies.
630
00:31:12,120 –> 00:31:16,007
We enjoy all kinds of movies,
but we really get into
631
00:31:16,007 –> 00:31:18,927
our Marvel movies
in our DC comic movies as well.
632
00:31:19,460 –> 00:31:22,764
And we cannot wait for, as my shirt
633
00:31:22,764 –> 00:31:25,250
says, Wakanda forever to be released.
634
00:31:25,767 –> 00:31:28,703
And I have a feeling
we probably all will try to make it out
635
00:31:29,487 –> 00:31:30,805
at least opening weekend.
636
00:31:30,805 –> 00:31:33,258
Yes, not opening day or opening night.
637
00:31:34,742 –> 00:31:36,928
And again, you know, the thing as we as
638
00:31:36,928 –> 00:31:40,048
we wrap up today’s episode,
I think that really got us
639
00:31:41,182 –> 00:31:42,750
in the feels as they say so
640
00:31:42,750 –> 00:31:46,521
much with the original Black Panther
the first Black Panther movie.
641
00:31:46,521 –> 00:31:50,792
Of course, you know, our our king,
our Black Panther, you know, Chadwick
642
00:31:50,792 –> 00:31:52,827
Boseman is no longer with us.
643
00:31:52,827 –> 00:31:58,016
And so the making of this movie,
when I watched the trailer
644
00:31:58,016 –> 00:32:01,886
being released at Comic-Con,
but then I also watched the panel
645
00:32:01,886 –> 00:32:07,375
discussion with the actors
and the writer director, Ryan Coogler,
646
00:32:07,742 –> 00:32:10,428
and the emotion that they expressed about
647
00:32:10,428 –> 00:32:13,915
carrying on this legacy
648
00:32:13,915 –> 00:32:15,500
in his honor,
649
00:32:15,500 –> 00:32:19,320
you know, and making sure
that all of the representation
650
00:32:19,520 –> 00:32:23,992
you know, all of the
the the good, you know, the honor
651
00:32:24,325 –> 00:32:28,796
and the storyline continues
to bring those same good feels
652
00:32:29,030 –> 00:32:33,301
and to make us all glad
that we are in the movies
653
00:32:33,301 –> 00:32:37,488
and that we’re watching things that
and people and storylines that look like
654
00:32:37,488 –> 00:32:40,191
everyone, you know, not just one
655
00:32:40,525 –> 00:32:42,777
set of people, but look like all of us.
656
00:32:43,194 –> 00:32:45,980
And, you know, there has been
some controversy about the next
657
00:32:46,581 –> 00:32:49,734
Black Panther movie, Wakanda Forever,
because there’s been a lot of discussion
658
00:32:49,734 –> 00:32:53,421
going back and forth about who’s
going to be Black Panther.
659
00:32:54,088 –> 00:32:57,108
And, you know,
I hate to burst everybody’s bubble.
660
00:32:57,108 –> 00:32:58,860
I can’t say things
because I’m under contract.
661
00:32:58,860 –> 00:33:01,813
But this necklaces, vibranium,
this all I’m saying. So
662
00:33:02,747 –> 00:33:04,282
so I’ll let you guys
663
00:33:04,282 –> 00:33:06,617
wait until the premiere
to find out who the New Black Panther is.
664
00:33:06,617 –> 00:33:09,287
But vibranium, it’s all the same, but
665
00:33:09,871 –> 00:33:13,374
there’s still a lot of concern about
is Black Panther going to be a woman?
666
00:33:13,941 –> 00:33:17,211
And there are some people who are not
happy about Black Panther being a woman,
667
00:33:17,578 –> 00:33:22,050
but it’ll be okay because before that,
the first Black Panther was released,
668
00:33:22,433 –> 00:33:27,021
there was a lot of controversy
and conversation about will people
669
00:33:27,021 –> 00:33:30,925
turn out for a black movie
and look what happened.
670
00:33:30,925 –> 00:33:35,897
And a movie that had a storyline,
you know, set in Africa with Africans
671
00:33:35,897 –> 00:33:40,068
and people who look like Africans,
even with another language
672
00:33:40,068 –> 00:33:40,885
in that kind of thing.
673
00:33:40,885 –> 00:33:42,687
And it was universal because that’s
674
00:33:42,687 –> 00:33:46,491
that’s what this is all about,
is that the universality of humanity?
675
00:33:46,491 –> 00:33:49,711
And I think that’s what
everyone really gravitated to
676
00:33:49,711 –> 00:33:51,746
with the first Black Panther.
677
00:33:52,163 –> 00:33:54,482
But we are ready for opening night
678
00:33:55,466 –> 00:33:55,817
and we
679
00:33:55,817 –> 00:33:59,070
will follow the directives
if we’re wearing white, we will wear white
680
00:34:00,204 –> 00:34:01,672
and cannot wait.
681
00:34:01,672 –> 00:34:05,493
And we hope that you all can continue
to get to our new normal.
682
00:34:05,510 –> 00:34:06,811
You know, getting out, doing what
683
00:34:06,811 –> 00:34:11,132
you have to do, staying safe again, cope
it hasn’t left us, but we’ve learned
684
00:34:11,666 –> 00:34:14,869
with the new treatment options
and vaccinations and boosters
685
00:34:14,869 –> 00:34:18,840
and masking when necessary, good hand
hygiene is still important.
686
00:34:18,873 –> 00:34:20,341
It’s it’s not about COVID.
687
00:34:20,341 –> 00:34:23,778
It’s about just being healthy
and keeping yourself safe.
688
00:34:23,778 –> 00:34:25,947
And so doing
all those things are still important,
689
00:34:26,247 –> 00:34:31,586
but we have to continue to to move on
and to find ways to stay safe
690
00:34:31,586 –> 00:34:34,405
and enjoy our life and do what
we have to do in this new normal.
691
