- 9:41on the move that he is on the move. Brother. So let's get
- 9:46into it because it's something I want to ask you that was brought to my
- 9:48attention. But Atlanta Comic Con, let's talk about it, man, this
- 9:52is its first year, right right? Uh, let's talk about when does
- 9:58it take place? Where does it take place? So it's August seventeenth and
- 10:01eighteenth at the downtown Sheridan and Waterside, Northern Virginia. Like I said,
- 10:07August seventeenth and eighteenth in Northern Virginia at the Sheridan Downtown Waterside fifteen minutes from
- 10:16my house. Fifteen minutes is all I gotta say me And I'm right there.
- 10:22It's enough for me to jump back on the road for this just just
- 10:26as like you know what nigga, I'm parking my car at your house.
- 10:28Dude, I got a couch for one. It's all I gotta say.
- 10:33Don't let the whole cruise show off you y'all get the floor. It's all
- 10:35I gotta So, Dan, it's you and Greg Burnham. Correct. Correct.
- 10:43So there is something I definitely want to ask you. I've been told
- 10:48that you have an extensive comic book collection. I do what are we talking?
- 10:58So? I have been collecting comics since about ninety two, and I've
- 11:07been collecting on and off for you know, upwards thirty years, and it's
- 11:13a reflection of my values at this point. At first it was you know,
- 11:18if you guys are anywhere around my age. The segue into comics was
- 11:22X Men, the animated series, and that grew from X Men the animated
- 11:28series too, you know, just stretching outside of like the Marvel universe.
- 11:35And then in the last i'll say about twelve to fifteen years, it's been
- 11:43exclusively focusing on afrocentric themes and so black characters, black artists, black writers,
- 11:52anything around blackness, and uh, I not to say blackness. That's
- 11:56the first thing that was to come to mind was blackness. Right right,
- 12:00And so yeah, I proudly I don't think that there's five people on a
- 12:07planet that have a collection like I have with that theme. I'm actually a
- 12:13part of a group. I actually started a group called Blurredcore and that grew
- 12:18into another group called Black Comic Lords. I'm pretty sure you all of you
- 12:20guys are familiar with. Its started out in my group, and then because
- 12:26my group kind of evolved into like a multi fandom group, but they wanted
- 12:31to keep the comic book theme because that's how I started it that way.
- 12:33And then, like I said, it evolved into like a multifandom group,
- 12:37and they was like, look, we still want to keep the comics what
- 12:39it is, and so Herschel decided to do Black Comic Lords. But those
- 12:45are one of you know, we're the parent group, and Black Comic Lords,
- 12:48you know, kind of sprung off from us. And so yeah,
- 12:54I have everything any black character. I have Eac Stoner books. He's the
- 13:01very first ever black illustrator in comics today. In fact, I'm familiar with
- 13:07that name. That isn't right? Oh yeah, yeah, you you in
- 13:09the paint, you in the paint. I have olden age books up to
- 13:13you know, the modern Holy Grail. Ultimate fallout for the variant I have
- 13:22that in the nine eight as well, was forty thousand dollars. So yeah,
- 13:28I mean like white flexell people, lady already told him. Have you
- 13:37seen this guy in person? Like come on, like it is going to
- 13:41tell him give me your ship. It's going to tell him, right.
- 13:46Oh yeah, man, I'm really happy. I mean everything from First Falcon,
- 13:50the First Storm anything like, I got all that. Oh yeah,
- 13:56you you respect respect my hat to use, sir. If I would have
- 14:03known, we would have brought it up. I would have brought some of
- 14:05my pieces up. Enough you're speaking with enough, I'm gonna take your word
- 14:16for it. I'm just saying so I will take I will take it that
- 14:20Atlantic Comic Con, which is like your typical comic book convention, only based
- 14:26keeping it in that realm. Correct. I don't like the word typical.
- 14:30Hm hmm. How would you describe it a typical one? There's a cultural
- 14:37component that it hasn't that won't be replicated, uh for a while. Because
- 14:46what I've been able to accomplish with you know, getting out here in the
- 14:50field and the relationships that I've been able to develop, the ain't nobody gonna
- 14:56see anything like this. That's the guarantee. So what you know what I've
- 15:01seen some of the people that you have coming in. Who are some of
- 15:03the guests that you have, so Larry Strohman, Todd Johnson, I'll let
- 15:15you guys be the first to know that. Even though I didn't publish her
- 15:18card yet, Asia Simone, she done Moon Girl and Double Dinosaurs, I
- 15:26have. So I have an athletic background, and I won't get in like
- 15:31I guess I'll bounce around a little bit, but I have a US Olympian
- 15:35gold medalist. She'll be uh there with her books. Her name is Wadalin
- 15:41Jonathans, And like I said, my background is athletics, So I'm going
- 15:48to be pulling from the athletic realm a lot here soon making a few announcements,
- 15:54So there will be a lot of crossover from like literature and athletics and
- 16:00again there that's going to do what I'm doing. You're absolutely right, like
- 16:07that is completely different. I stand corrected, my guy. You got the
- 16:15books. You're focused on the right part of the comic convention. Yeah.
- 16:18Different from the rest of these cons that are out here. They're very celebrity
- 16:22forward ye feeding their base, which are people that are into even the animated
- 16:29I would I would be more. I would be happy even if they put
- 16:32up like the animated stuff, animated series people up. But it's it's it's
- 16:37fine. Don't get me wrong, it's fine. I like it. However,
- 16:41I do as somebody that that's getting back into comics. I do miss
- 16:47being able to walk through the Khan, talk to the author, talk to
- 16:51the illustrator, get their ideas, pick their brains about stuff like why did
- 16:55you choose this? Versus that. I don't get to do that at NYCC,
- 17:00right, it's too much like it's God, I want black cons to
- 17:07get big, but I miss the small cons. I really do. It's
- 17:11so it's such a different vibe. It's such a different vibe, and so
- 17:15we have no we don't want to be a small con. No, no,
- 17:22no no, But like I want to be very clear about like what
- 17:29the vision is, Like we're getting back to the literacy component and comic cons.
- 17:34So they'll be panels, there'll be workshops, so if you're sitting writing
- 17:40or being a better artist, you'll have professionals around that you can sit in
- 17:44and learn. But we know that the hobby has been struggling over the years,
- 17:48and it's because we've moved away from it. So what we're going to
- 17:51do is make that the focus, and we'll still have those other components to
- 17:55our convention, but make no mistake, we're going to do this on a
- 18:00very large scale, and there's going to be a huge literacy component because we
- 18:04know what's going on with literacy in the United States, and so unfortunately,
- 18:10if the United States is suffering, our community suffer exponentially more. Right,
- 18:15and so we getting back to all of that foundational stuff that made comic comes
- 18:19what they were. I like that. I like that whole you bring comics
- 18:25in as the part of the literacy project of it, because I've spoken to
- 18:29several people throughout life, and there's a gentleman here in Cleveland who runs Carolyn
- 18:34John a comic shock. It was a mother and son own show, a
- 18:38shop been going for forty years, i want to say. And he got
- 18:45into comics because his grandfather was an immigrant, and that's how his grandfather learned
- 18:51to read was through reading comics. And then he passes comics on to his
- 18:55grandson, which in turn continues on that thing. And I like that theme
- 19:00of you know, getting a kid to read a book. You know,
- 19:03it's it's difficult, and as we all know, for children to read anything,
- 19:07you know when it started to come. But if you put something in
- 19:10front of them that gives them that interest, I e. Comics, m
- 19:15h, that grabs them right away because now they they're learning, they're learning
- 19:22words that you generally wouldn't they would not learn until several years later in their
- 19:26life. Much so I love that. I love that. You're right,
- 19:33your convention is definitely a typical on more than one level. I can appreciate
- 19:41that. Thank you. You mentioned you started collecting in ninety two, so
- 19:45you collect You started collecting at a time where I call it the boom.
- 19:51The yeah looks like yeah, So that means you were having because I started
- 19:56collecting around that time. You were collect thing like with eight to nine titles
- 20:02of X Men comics between the X Men main titles and the offshoots. Yeah,
- 20:07I know, pockets upon pockets upon pockets on costumes and just X Men,
- 20:15Uncanny, X Men Astonishing, X Men, X Factor, X Force,
- 20:18Generation, x x Man, x manx Caliber. Right, so that
- 20:26was eight titles right there, like X Men and Spider Man were the major
- 20:32running titles for Marvel because Spider Man had about just as many titles. There
- 20:37wasn't a week that released didn't go by and you got something. It was
- 20:41you're going home with stacks and and then it helped that these books were a
- 20:45dollar twenty five a piece at the time, so five it's set a five
- 20:51right, So often the comments with twenty dollars millionaire, So Navy question,
- 21:00what's about the Ryan? Every time I see you, brother, there's nothing
- 21:03but love and energy coming off you every time you show that, and the
- 21:07passion that you have for comics rivals mind, I think I've just been collecting
- 21:11longer than anybody. I've been doing since I was nine and I'm in my
- 21:14fifties now. So what made you decide that this particular component of literacy,
- 21:22which I agree with because that's how I grew up in my literacy and my
- 21:26ability to read improved with comics because, let's face it, regular books just
- 21:32weren't doing it. But when you've got pictures in there talking, you're now
- 21:36engaged with the story and the character. So what made you decide that literacy
- 21:41became the focus for Atlantic Comic con So it's the same thing as you.
- 21:48You use both sides of your brain when people are telling stories through like graphic
- 21:52novels, So it isn't just the words, the pictures also telling story.
- 22:00And so there's tons of research that shows that actually reading a graphic novel or
- 22:06a comic is actually more beneficial to your focus. And then reading that,
- 22:12you know what I mean, because you've got to be hyper fixated on not
- 22:15only the text, but seeing how the story flows in the sequence. Like
- 22:21that stuff really challenges your brain, you know what I'm saying, and it
- 22:25sparks a whole lot of interest. So stories are being told through two lenses,
- 22:30you know, through like visual arts, and then you actually have to
- 22:33read the text, so you're getting you know, two instances of education at
- 22:37that point. So that was my story, you know what I mean.
- 22:41And so I live here in Norfolk, and like, I know what the
- 22:48literacy rates are like here. Yeah, we don't stay in a neighborhood well
- 22:52in the city where the the literacy rates are on the positive side than that
- 23:00average. And so I want to get access is big for me. And
- 23:03so if I can inspire young people, hell and old people, because I
- 23:08know a lot of old people that they put their finger on that thing and
- 23:11reading like this, you know, to get back into reading, that'll be
- 23:18a good thing. And then we're having fun while we're doing it, you
- 23:22know. And then the other aspect of it is the cultural component. What
- 23:26do we know about education when it comes to digesting things? Indicator looks more
- 23:32like you, You're more susceptible to absorb that information. Very important for me
- 23:38and the optics that if I know that I'm particularly marketing to my community,
- 23:45then the people who are going to be giving out the delivering the messages needs
- 23:49to look like the community that I'm marketing to. True. Yeah, I
- 23:56definitely shout out to you for getting the share to a downtown by waterside because
- 24:02that a lot of people realize that is an amazing location for an event like
- 24:06this, because Yo, you get access to downtown Norfolk quick as a wink.
- 24:11It's not tough. You get everything around, Sir, shout outs to
- 24:15you that one. Because I'm ten minutes away. It's all I got to
- 24:18just drive there and drive back. The look I'm not going to like it
- 24:23hasn't been a struggle like that look you had, That look you had when
- 24:27he said that that look was that that seemed like that. I am so
- 24:32glad I got that position, that shot. I'm so glad I know that
- 24:36look. That's that look of who. I'm so glad I got that.
- 24:41It's been a struggle. I mean, they haven't well, I won't say
- 24:45that since this is it's cool. It's been great. You sit in your
- 24:51your right like this. I'm just glad it's not the Virginia Beach Convention Center
- 24:56because I have my quamps of that crazy gas place. That's the other thing.
- 25:00And I don't mean to cut you off. I'm sorry. Shout out
- 25:06to Hill and what he does at Blurred con He's a huge inspiration, uh
- 25:11for for me. And so one of the things that I absolutely wanted to
- 25:18poach was making sure that the convention was in a hotel because of that communal
- 25:22feel, you know what I mean. You don't get that same communal feel
- 25:26in a convention center. It feels more like a marketplace than a community of
- 25:30people. And I don't want people to walk up and down the lines and
- 25:34then that just be it and then they go home like what's next. No
- 25:38that you don't get that same feel in the hotel that you would in the
- 25:41convention center, right, lady Mandlor, I am caught off guard. I
- 25:49yet you were next in line, Dari, come back to me. I
- 26:00don't sit up like damn. Now, I'm managing our chance for my PCs
- 26:07over here. But I'm on our phone. Well I'll go to spart because
- 26:12I'm good. I'm just my multi see me over here reaching for the other
- 26:15keyboard. I got like three over it. Oh well, if you've got
- 26:18a question here, all right. So part of a larger conversation we've been
- 26:22having for months being a black convention lead, what has been some of the
- 26:27trials and tribulations you have that some people might not know about, or if
- 26:32you're gonna jump into this, you should probably know ahead of time, trials
- 26:37and tribulations. I mean outside of just being a very big black bullhead dude
- 26:42with muscles. Mm hmm. I think that's the biggest thing, you know.
- 26:52I've flirted with the idea of getting somebody's a little easier on the eyes
- 26:56to market this whole thing. Let's see, funding is always a thing.
- 27:03But as you guys know, we started a Kickstarter and I was a tremendous
- 27:07help and I literally exhausted my entire network. I during that Can I talk
- 27:17about Kickstarter please? So the Kickstarter. At day fifteen of the Kickstarter,
- 27:26I had maybe eight hundred and sixty outgoing calls from they want to like day
- 27:33like day fifteen of the Kickstarter, and I probably had another fifty meetings with
- 27:40people just to raise money. So it was very, very, very difficult.
- 27:48And I know people saw that we did it in you know, a
- 27:49short amount of time, but like that grind was crazy, you know,
- 27:55literally calling every contact in my phone saying, look, I need fifty dollars,
- 28:00Look I need forty dollars. Look I need one hundred dollars. What
- 28:04can you do for me? And so like when it comes to like fundraising
- 28:11people all the time, if you don't have the audacity to get out here
- 28:17and ask for money all the time, not just some of the time,
- 28:19and when you feel like it, I would not do a convention because it's
- 28:25so much money, like tens of thousands of dollars to do it right.
- 28:29You don't have that money on your own, then you gotta get a hustle
- 28:33about yourself. And so I tell people, especially people in this nerve space,
- 28:37a lot of folks are you know, they deal with anxiousness or social
- 28:42anxiety and things like that. If you're unwilling to get in front of people,
- 28:47do the talking and acts hard acts unless you're rich. Now, if
- 28:52you're riding, you know what I'm saying, do what you want if you
- 28:56got the money. But like the fundraising, I don't think it was difficult
- 29:00as much as it was daunting. Like it just took a lot, you
- 29:04know what I mean. Beyond that, the organizational piece has been very difficult.
- 29:11So you know, I have my own business here in Norfolk, and
- 29:15I juggle that with everything else that I'm doing. And I would recommend that
- 29:19somebody have like a team of people. Luckily for me, when I'm talking
- 29:23to my clients and I'm talking to my trainers and I'm saying, look,
- 29:26i have to go from Friday, Saturday and Sunday cause I have to go
- 29:30vend at the ocean front. At the ocean front, people just don't have
- 29:33that same type of flexibility, you know what I'm saying. And so like
- 29:37you need a lot of time too, It's just it's a lot. Like,
- 29:44you know, I'm extremely competitive because I come from an athletic background,
- 29:48so like the idea of me losing drives me crazy. So I'm gonna do
- 29:52whatever I need to do to make sure that when I close my eyes on
- 29:57August nineteenth, I gave it my be shut. Yeah, you know what
- 30:02I'm saying. So you need a lot of time, a lot of money,
- 30:07and a lot of hustle. And I know it's like extremes, but
- 30:10that's that's what it takes. Like I'm always tired now and I never complain
- 30:12about being tired. Look, I don't think a lot of people understand when,
- 30:18especially when it comes to not just running a convention or getting one off
- 30:22the ground, but to continue having it run a year after year. Like
- 30:27they think, Okay, I got it, it's done and I can relax.
- 30:32That's not always. Actually ninety percent of the time that ain't the case.
- 30:36You shouldn't be Yeah, you know, you're like, like you said
- 30:38that August nineteenth, that's your rest day. You're like, but that that
- 30:41twenty four hours later, you back at it. You back at it.
- 30:48You know, believe me, I I'm already on that grind. We got
- 30:51Blur coming to March, and we are already hustling. We already trying to
- 30:53get things straight. So I completely understand that I'm still tired. It's Thursday
- 30:59and I'm still tired. But I haven't slept since we got back. Let's
- 31:03put it that way. What's that? What really? I just bookmarked my
- 31:07life? Thank God. I like reading Batman and I'm like, oh,
- 31:12that's what a micro nap is. Okay, all right, wow, Spartan,
- 31:18what you got? Oh? Man? Uh Ron kind of answered three
- 31:22of my questions off the bat and me and Lady madd the Lord this time.
- 31:30I mean, he had my question as far as as far as the
- 31:33challenges of starting your own con. So I would sit there and say this
- 31:38because as I was listening, like god damn, he answered that one and
- 31:42that one. Now, okay, I got one. Because you went through
- 31:47the entire process of running a con, putting it together, of the financials,
- 31:53the securities, liabilities. You know, I'm no, I'm preaching the
- 31:56choir here. But what was the biggest I won't even say challenge. What
- 32:04was the biggest obstacle that you had and in getting Atlanta Comic Con to become
- 32:08a reality. That's a broad question, right, So I don't think there
- 32:22was any like real challenge like this is a roadblock and I'm struggling to get
- 32:28over it. I think, let me put this way, the one that
- 32:34will well, not just the challenging, but the one thing that that would
- 32:39literally it wasn't pressing, but at the same time it required a lot of
- 32:44your attention. I'll put that play maybe like organization, like so from because
- 32:57I do business, so like none of this stuff is new to me.
- 33:00And I also do events here in Norfolk. I do the Hampton Roads met
- 33:05Gala here as well, so like all of these things are like not new
- 33:09to me. But what I will say, because a convention has so many
- 33:13components to it, like trying to manage all of that, you know,
- 33:19whether it's marketing, whether it's talking to Greg about following up with somebody because
- 33:24we need our passes and you know, we need the digital art for our
- 33:29passes done sooner than it's it's definitely like the organizational piece, like I just
- 33:34wish I had more time, or I should just quit my job, or
- 33:40or or you could just you could get some volunteers ring. So here's the
- 33:46thing. When you're in your first year, you literally have to vet people.
- 33:51And I will say I'm gonna put somebody on blast. I will say,
- 33:54I will put somebody on blast. Mister Montel had to get some help
- 34:00from somebody and he pushed me off on somebody else and he right around the
- 34:05corner, I walked into some violence. Let's go. I'm sorry. The
- 34:14old man that you try to reach is no longer in service. I feel
- 34:19if you recess crusty, old dudent era, please hang up and now do
- 34:24you know what? And I will say as I'm sorry, and it's not
- 34:28I trust me. I don't blow anybody off. But I knew blurd was
- 34:30coming up and I had those responsibilities as well, so I completely understand.
- 34:35But I will tell you this blurred is over, and if you need me
- 34:39from here, it just count on me. I'll do the best I can.
- 34:43Navy's the kind of guy that he'll go to the convention of people that
- 34:46he knows and he might see the glitch and say, hey, let me
- 34:51help you out real quick. Mm hmm. He's not going to leave people
- 34:55hanging. So like there's a few faces that it is completely foreign to me.
- 35:02So one of the things that I did want to incorporate was tabletop gaming.
- 35:07And I know mister montelu literally when I was like acting around the area,
- 35:14like all signs was pointing to this dude, and so I reached out
- 35:19to him and he was just like, you know what, fuck you wow
- 35:30room himself. So mic coming to you live from this nigga's house, right,
- 35:40and so I was going to like all of these shops and stuff like
- 35:45that, and I was just like, you know what, we just won't
- 35:49do it because some time of asking people and begging and yeah, so we
- 35:53just we won't do tabletop this year. This year, we won't do tabletop.
- 35:59So another saying next year, he said, you got him on speed
- 36:02down. That's what he's saying, speed down. Well, Duran, I'll
- 36:06say this. You got me for next year. Brother, you ain't got
- 36:07to worry about that. I got you. I appreciate. Thank you,
- 36:10sir. You got five months after Blur come this year, so you got
- 36:14plenty of time I started planning. Now shut your ass up, moment,
- 36:22don't start with me. Okay, I'm still tired, so I'm still cranky
- 36:25from everything else making time. Navy has no aloud in his contracts and so
- 36:35doron you. You you attended blair Con this year. What was your experience
- 36:38like it's always well, it was different. Usually I'm in cosplay going crazy,
- 36:45like just mingling, you know, socializing and things. I was on
- 36:49a mission, uh this year, so it wasn't as fun for me because
- 36:54I was working, working, But like when I was you know at my
- 37:00booth and stuff like that, you know, just talking to the vendors and
- 37:04my friends that came up. It's always an amazing time. Like you know,
- 37:09I've grown, especially now that I'm on this side of the table,
- 37:13Like I'm in full defense of any and all criticisms of Blurred Con now,
- 37:20like I just don't say anything weird. Don't say anything because you don't have
- 37:24any idea. You have no idea the machine behind the scenes, right like
- 37:30and so like I find myself, like especially online, like reducing myself and
- 37:36I never do that because I know that I will get irritated and say some
- 37:39things somebody rub people the wrong way. But I had an amazing time at
- 37:44Blurred Con. It was great seeing everybody had a lot of fun, and
- 37:49I look forward to it in March and this time I'm going to cosplay.
- 37:52You don't I know. We had cross paths like two or three times in
- 37:57area. I'm like I'm trying to get him over, but it was like
- 38:00it was always somebody in the slot, and I'm like, I'm not trying
- 38:01to bump somebody at the slot, but I'm like, let me see if
- 38:05I can squeeze him in because I want you guys to win. This is
- 38:09kind of the this is the goal I got like first year con coming out
- 38:13Black on Con. And then as you've described, a very different convention than
- 38:19any other convention that's out there, because your focus isn't just on the comics.
- 38:23It's focused on literacy, it's focused on athleticism. You know, you're
- 38:28bringing in people who you normally don't see in these spaces but are involved in
- 38:34some form in these spaces. And it's definitely a necessary thing. And that's
- 38:39why I was so glad when you mentioned the literacy part, because too many
- 38:44times we've seen over the years, coming up, you know, collecting and
- 38:46whatever. You would hear people like, oh man, you read comics,
- 38:50Yeah, but you'd be surprised, right, You'd be surprised what's in a
- 38:53comic book? And then you say you see things that are happening in reality,
- 38:59and you're just it's like, you know, there is a solution,
- 39:01y'all just don't want to use it. So so so I appreciate that kind
- 39:08of that that that candor with you ready Mandlor, you know what I My
- 39:15question is going to be for the end. I'm gonna wait for for everybody
- 39:19else to finish. Are you sure you're going to drop the bomb on everybody?
- 39:24Oh? Yeah, she's known for that, trust me. Just get
- 39:27ready to at least she's at least she fore warned me. She always,
- 39:30she always says Captain can I And I'm like, just don't hit any windows.
- 39:34We need to make sure you got armrest that you can grip onto.
- 39:38Because time you got a question, gri grill or horror, Laney, you
- 39:45got a question? Not right now because I just came in. I say,
- 39:49I was doing mommy duty, so I couldn't listen. I just made
- 39:52sure my phone was on. Well hello, I just wanted to know.
- 39:58I mean, actually I do. And but this might have been already said,
- 40:00so I apologize. What conn are you running? Is it a harbor
- 40:05your dogs? Because it's not like it's something that might be up my alley.
- 40:08I'm running Atlantic Comic Con. Why why you ain't get your folks here
- 40:13to what I got because she works. She works in education, so she's
- 40:19good. She's not gonna see anything until wait. Yes, so I do
- 40:23apologize about that. And right where you first year Comic Con, Atlantic Comic
- 40:31Con in Northern Virginia. Uh, and we're going August seventeenth and eighteen.
- 40:37Nice but once again, so I like the fact that you said when you
- 40:44started collecting and comics that it was part of your morale, right, it
- 40:50was part of your moral structure. And I like that because I'm the same
- 40:55way. You know, it's helping people when I can, you know,
- 41:00knowing the difference right and wrong, you know, just fighting through some of
- 41:05the pain, the anguish, whatever to make sure the stuff, whatever it
- 41:08is I'm doing is done. You know, from Spider Man and X Men,
- 41:14And I don't know a black person on the planet who dislikes the X
- 41:19Men for the simple fact that, like, I identified with everything they're going
- 41:22through. So like it's like, if anybody knows anything, it's us.
- 41:29So I like the fact that you've incorporated all of that in your lifestyle and
- 41:35building not just yourself but others around you. Running a convention is not easy
- 41:44when you know, and I've heard stories of people. Oh I want to
- 41:47start, When I want to start, you have no idea what it entails,
- 41:52what this involves, you know, the monster you're trying to create,
- 41:59right, I mean, And so I always try to dissuade people from doing
- 42:05it, and they see that I attempted it, but like it was literally
- 42:09years in the making, you know what I mean, from being a business
- 42:14owner to somebody who those events. I already have one leg up, you
- 42:17know what I mean. So it isn't like the logistical aspect of understanding business
- 42:24and things like that is foreign to me. So I already had that foundation.
- 42:29And then prior to that, as a comic book collector, I have
- 42:32relationships with all literally every last black writer or illustrated that worked in Marvel,
- 42:39DC Image. I know them all, you know what I'm saying. So
- 42:43when I decided that I was going to pull a trigger, the first person
- 42:47I called was Greg because Greg not only is he a dope writer culturally,
- 42:53he's what I want as far as like what's going to be represented. I
- 42:59don't want to have no issues about you know, I'm picking this black person
- 43:02specifically because of this, and get pushedback, you know what I mean?
- 43:06Because we're on the same waynlay when it comes to like the decision. So
- 43:10I made sure that, you know, I picked somebody who would understand why
- 43:15I'm making some of the decisions that I was going to make. And so
- 43:19Greg was absolutely the first person that I called up, and he was just
- 43:22like, what took you so long? Literally he said, he was like,
- 43:28bro, I see what you do back home. What took you so
- 43:30long? And I was just like, you know, there's a time for
- 43:34everything and we're here now, you know what I'm saying. And so I
- 43:37recruited Greg and I was like, Greg, this is what I need from
- 43:40you. You know what I'm saying. Like you're in the circuit. You
- 43:44know these people. I know of these people. When I shake their hands,
- 43:47they'd be like, oh you know flood YadA YadA, YadA. But
- 43:51you done ran conventions up and down and left and right with all these people.
- 43:55So if I'm saying like, look, I need to get you know
- 43:59Larry Strong, oh man, I need for you to be that guy.
- 44:01You know what I'm saying. Because he knows me as a fan, you
- 44:05a colleague to him, you know what I'm saying. So it's a very
- 44:09different thing, you know what I'm saying. So, like, strategically,
- 44:14I had to make sure that Greg was gonna be my first guy that I
- 44:16that I grabbed up, you know, moving forward. So like there was
- 44:22definitely like a methodology to you know, from here to now, like starting
- 44:28from you know, ninety two to get my first comic, to building virtual
- 44:31spaces to going up and down comic cons. So it isn't just like one
- 44:37day I had an epiphany and I was like, I'm gonna do a convention.
- 44:40That's crazy, you know what I'm saying, Like it takes a lot
- 44:45of groundwork, relationships, capital, you know, I wouldn't started the kickstarter
- 44:51if I didn't know that it would have been fulfilled, because you got to
- 44:53think about it, What does that look like optically for people who want to
- 44:59go to the invention. You can't even raise no money? What makes you
- 45:01think? You know, how we do? You know what I'm saying,
- 45:06Like, bro, yeah, money, so we're not gonna go there,
- 45:09you know what I'm saying. So I had to make sure that even prior
- 45:14to doing a kickstarter, I was already talking to a bunch of people like,
- 45:16look, I'm going to do a convention, I'm going to start a
- 45:21kickstarter first, what you're going to do? Oh? A'm in? Oh
- 45:24a man, I'm in. So like first three days I was way I
- 45:29was damn there there. You know what I'm saying. So whooped? Do
- 45:34you got a question? Yeah? Make sure I'm not a mute Okay.
- 45:39My question is that you were able to incorporate tabletop gaming for whatever reasons this
- 45:46year. Is there any other thing that you would like to add to the
- 45:50con going forward that you don't necessarily have right now, but you could definitely
- 45:54see it being part of your experience in the coming years. I want uh
- 46:02and again, I'm just a comic book guy. I want Rodney Barnes.
- 46:07I want Bryan Heill, I want I want Christopher Priest, I want I
- 46:15want Sam for Green. I want all the black talent. You hitting some
- 46:22notes, none of these celebrities, these voice actors, and none of that.
- 46:27I'm a comic book guy, so I want all of comic book royalty
- 46:30to be at my convention. When you said Priest Barnes, yeah, I'm
- 46:36like, you know what, Hm, I can get with that. I
- 46:39can get with that, especially Rodney, because I had I had a chance
- 46:45to meet and talk to him. That is a that is a stand up
- 46:47dude. I love his work. I love the fact that you are taking
- 46:52the blackness of it and saying, look, it's time these guys mm hmmm
- 47:00see it and say, Yo, You're the reason why I read this.
- 47:06You're the reason why I got into doing something else, or got into writing,
- 47:10or got into art. You're the reason they because they don't see it
- 47:15enough, they don't write. I think it's a lot of this generation don't
- 47:20see enough of us. That's a partuct that's the key because growing up reading
- 47:24these comics, you hope that you see someone that look like us. So
- 47:29you find out that there were other people that were writing and said, okay,
- 47:31I'm getting dissilluted, but you're writing about a black character. But you've
- 47:35never lived a black life. You never had that black experience. But when
- 47:38you come up and see Milestone with the Dennis Cowens, and you come up
- 47:42with the artists like the Nicholas Drapers and all of them, and the Rodney
- 47:46Barnes, you see that you can look and go this can be done.
- 47:51I can write, I can draw, I can create a comic because I
- 47:55see someone who's doing it. And proven successful. Right, So this this
- 48:00is a win all across the board because our young generation needs to see this.
- 48:06So as far as I was serned de Ron's a hero, that's how
- 48:08I said, when I when when out, when I say, Diam McGregor
- 48:13is the reason why I really started reading Black Panther, Christopher Priest is the
- 48:19is the reason why I kept reading right Black Panther. Right. So,
- 48:23so if I could piggyback off of montel statement, I did a comparison analysis
- 48:30on the difference the cultural differences between black writers and illustrators and white ones as
- 48:38they as they write black characters, and it rubbed people all the wrong way,
- 48:43and I didn't care at all why true is true? So I didn't
- 48:49care at all. So I took Miles Morales and I took Falcon. When
- 48:53a white person wrote Miles Morales, they partnered Miles Morales with a white person,
- 49:01and all of his stories were his villains, especially were white villains.
- 49:07M H. When Cody Zigler Uh Miles Morales, he was part of a
- 49:14black person and all of his villains was also black. Same thing with same
- 49:17Sam Sam Wilson. Not only did they take the man's Moniker and change it
- 49:23completely. They made him Captain America. They partner him with a white person,
- 49:30you know, Rodney Barnes got him. They literally shattered the shield.
- 49:34The symbolism is crazy, right, They sat the shield and they partnered him
- 49:39with Misty Knight. Hmm. Black folks need to write black ship all the
- 49:45time. I can't that enough. It's not a racist thing. It's just
- 49:53there are just we knows it's fact. There is a perfect A prime example
- 50:04of that is and I'm glad you mentioned Miles Morales. A prime example was
- 50:07the what If Miles I knew. I was just thinking that. I was
- 50:12just Miles Morales was thorn and in the in the vernacular that was used through
- 50:19out there. We were just like, are you are you serious right now?
- 50:23The way he was track, I was like, you took a very
- 50:28cool character, a very cool concept, and you bastard off. Yeah.
- 50:35It was so it was so cringey, like whoa, it was terrible,
- 50:40Like they had graffiti on the rainbow. I'm like I was because I was.
- 50:50I was really into the whole what I love the what If series,
- 50:52by the way, It's always a fun series to read. But I'm reading
- 50:55this thing, and then when he he used hammer time and I'm like,
- 50:59you know what, let me put this that was that was on me own
- 51:04there. I'm sitting there, what are you serious? Right now? I
- 51:07walked on I can't do his look. His look was decent, but I'm
- 51:12like, no, it wasn't it. No, no, because I seen
- 51:16a cosplayer actually do it and it looked his look was decent, but I'm
- 51:22like it could be better. Like I said, decent, I'm like,
- 51:25it could be better. But then yeah, it was. Everything else started
- 51:30really falling apart, and I'm like, yeah, this ain't it. Listen,
- 51:37may as gard a neighborhood somewhere and just make it as stereotypical as possible.
- 51:42But we're gonna make it, put it in a mythical world, and
- 51:45it's all going to make sense. Nigga to who? Right to who?
- 51:51I walked off work, I said, you know what, y'all, y'all
- 51:52can fire me. Put me where. I said, I'm leaving because this
- 51:54right here is not what comics are all about. This is pandering two people,
- 52:00making them think that it's okay. It's not okay because now you put
- 52:02this in the hands of a kid, they're going to think, oh,
- 52:07this is normal. No it's not. And again it's not written by a
- 52:12black person. It was written by a Hispanic dude. That makes it even
- 52:15worse. Yeah, And I'm like, so you have a person of color
- 52:21writing about a person of color, but it's not it's it's it's so off.
- 52:27It's so oft and wrong. And like you said, Doryan, it
- 52:30was cringe cringe as hell because you're just like, maybe it was one No,
- 52:36it wasn't one off. No, damn, I can't finish this.
- 52:42And I didn't like all the word I said. I'm like, it's probably
- 52:45the one what if book I couldn't finish mm hm because it was just m
- 52:53so ignorant. Yeah, that's ignorant at that point, ignor is the right
- 52:59word. So Lady Mandelor, I'm gonna give you the question, and there
- 53:04darn, we're going to let you because I know you said you got to
- 53:07do some things early in the morning, you run an acc and everything else.
- 53:09So so first of all, I am incredibly proud of you for achieving
- 53:16this from the idea to actualization. That is an incredible feat for the first
- 53:22year of any con. But let's fast forward the con is over. Whatever
- 53:31happened happened. What are your plans for next year? What are your goals
- 53:39for next year? You shattered Let's say you shattered your goals for this year.
- 53:43What are your goals for next year? How are you going to achieve
- 53:45them? What would you How can you strategize better for yourself? So growth
- 53:57is always a thing, like you want more attend to use that's out the
- 54:00gate. Like whatever the number is that we finish up with on the eighteenth,
- 54:06we want to double that, Like that's that's gonna be the number one
- 54:08thing. Number two will probably be recruit Mantel. I'm giving him a hard
- 54:14time. I take it. I take it a hard time. You're gonna
- 54:22need You're gonna because I got a few commitments this year that had to de
- 54:30commit but promise that they were going to be at the next one. And
- 54:35so what I'm going to do literally the next day is send out those contracts
- 54:40and locky butts in and I'm gonna say, look, we already here for
- 54:45next year. So and they were some heavy hitters, you know what I'm
- 54:47saying, Like that would really like change things for us as far as like
- 54:53attendance and so those promises will be locked in really on the twenty four hours
- 55:02and we'll we'll upload them to the website, you know what I mean.
- 55:07Beyond that assembling a for real team, you know what I mean. So
- 55:13I'll probably give myself a week before I kind of like assess who was really
- 55:19about the con, who really wasn't about the con? Because you feel that
- 55:22stuff, you know what I mean, the engagement from I have actual family
- 55:29that's going to be in town, and so like they'll be able to tell
- 55:31me, like, yo, this person was really going above and beyond.
- 55:36You know, people was asking for this and they was doing extra. There's
- 55:40one person that I have in mind, and I can't say that person's name.
- 55:45I can't even give the gender because they want to know what I'm talking
- 55:50about. But I'm going to pay somebody a lot of money after the con,
- 56:00uh for for a reason. Uh. But they they've been everything for
- 56:06me, like not even acts. I mean, just they need to be
- 56:09broken off. And I'm just I'm in that space where you know, I
- 56:14believe in you know, compensating folks for the things that they've done, especially
- 56:19if they nobody asked them to do it. Uh. So I want to
- 56:22take care of those folks. Beyond that, I want to get the school
- 56:24systems involved. That's like my next project I have. I have some politicians
- 56:31that I trained uh in my gym, and we've already kind of talked about
- 56:37that. It was a little last minute for me talking to that person,
- 56:40but like, I want to get North of public schools and Virginia Beach public
- 56:45schools, important public schools involved into this because again, we're really dumping on
- 56:52the literacy component and everybody can benefit from that. So like, you know,
- 56:57building those relationships with the cities and I don't know outside of that,
- 57:06you know, just continue to do what we're doing. I'm going to shout
- 57:08somebody out who brought Atlantic Comic Con to my attention. Uh. He's a
- 57:14cousin of the show Nick's from Do You Speak Geek? Oh my man.

- 1:03:22news. We got news today. I don't know why this one gets me
- 1:03:30excited, but everyone's favorite CTU counter terrorist agent is coming back as a film.
- 1:03:37No details yet. Who am I talking about? Jack Bauer? Oh
- 1:03:39no way, let's go. Jack Bower played by Keifer Sutherland is coming back
- 1:03:45there doing it as a film, which will be interesting because I want to
- 1:03:50see how this plays out because twenty four played out over twenty four episodes,
- 1:03:54which was an hour, so I like to see how this is going to
- 1:03:58play out in the theatrical version. Are they bringing it back from that last
- 1:04:02revival? I believe because right now, if I'm not mistake, I think
- 1:04:06he's in China. Yeah, Jack, Jason. Jack always has a way.
- 1:04:14Jack always has a way. But I know how because that is really
- 1:04:19bad. If they can give us multiple Born Legacy movies, they can figure
- 1:04:28out how to get Jack out of trying that card. Let's go Jack has
- 1:04:32quite a few run ins. I was a bit upset. My wife said,
- 1:04:35He's like really, I'm like, he's going to get out. I
- 1:04:43mean, let's be honest, it's that Goku level plot armor Hen find it's
- 1:04:48gonna Benna be out there. Oh that's a fact. That first season of
- 1:04:51twenty four. Boy, if y'all have never seen that, that show was.
- 1:04:57It was so groundbreaking because no one had ever done this where the clock
- 1:05:00was exact. Every episode was exactly an hour, so there was no hey,
- 1:05:05let's jump to two months later, two weeks later. You got it
- 1:05:09from this, Well, it takes place from five pm to six pm,
- 1:05:14right, It was that one day and of course they gave us that has
- 1:05:17Hatburt, I don't know our president president and got you said, what's word?
- 1:05:30I will see? They all state god slash god. Yeah, he
- 1:05:34was. He was. He was the president before President Obama was the president,
- 1:05:38like the president before president Like he was like, did you foretell this?
- 1:05:44It was like yo, like just about everything, like bring it back.
- 1:05:49You need to know what's going on. Come on? Uh so uh
- 1:05:55in d C in the DC world, d C universe is coming across now
- 1:05:59the Absolute Universe, which is coming up soon. It's a dark place where
- 1:06:01heroes will be the underdogs in the fight against evil. Some of the looks
- 1:06:05that they have are almost almost a mogamation between classic and modern. Yeah.
- 1:06:15Absolute Power is shaping up to be in a dope ass storyline. Good gosh,
- 1:06:20DC, they did it right this time. I think I'm nervous that
- 1:06:26Wonder Woman looks boss is hell right, No, that's Superman in those hens.
- 1:06:31Yeah, that's that's been with the body cam turned off. Yeah,
- 1:06:42this is how you look when you get shot in the chest you fall.
- 1:06:46I'm like, yo, this is I mean, just I'm just the visuals
- 1:06:49alone, man, that like some good visuals. Just questioning how Wonder Woman
- 1:06:54has a Maori tattoo, just just I mean, it could be a different
- 1:06:58way, it could be a totally different origin. I think, I try
- 1:07:02to say, I didn't try to say them scare and uh and uh like
- 1:07:06the yeah, it's a good I mean, it's mm hmm, it's possible.
- 1:07:14And yet she's writing and yet she's writing a nightmare creature. I mean,
- 1:07:16if that's the case, they might want to give her a little thick
- 1:07:18a thigh, But you know that ain't the night the Nightmare Pegasus. It's
- 1:07:28a great freaking look. I love it. I love it. No,
- 1:07:32I do. It's when my ladies and I would love to ride on s
- 1:07:36Yeah, you you would ride to get to work. Parker scare every child,
- 1:07:45every child? What did you name her? Sprinkles. I want to
- 1:07:49do some ship like that or something jar something I don't know, Uh,
- 1:07:54skittles. I think about it for lady man Lauren. Stop, Oh my
- 1:08:08god. So and this is something else, This is something else we've all
- 1:08:12been looking forward to. So we're going to be doing a reaction today before
- 1:08:17we really get into it. But uh, they this second trailer from Beetlejuice.
- 1:08:23Beetle Juice dropped. Mmm mm hmmm. All right, m m.
- 1:08:34You're all driving carpool and these instructors to fill the empty voids in your life.
- 1:08:40We'll see who gets the last laugh. My mom ger up here.
- 1:08:54That old house, like the ghost house is your mom. Unfortunately a legend
- 1:09:01the living the dead. Can they coexist? Makes sense? Ghosts aren't real,
- 1:09:12only gulible people who eat that kind of crap. I can't beetle juice,
- 1:09:16beetle juice, beetle juice, you mean to help me save my daughter.
- 1:09:25How do I know that you're gonna keep your word? I swear you
- 1:09:35and the boys stand guard. Nobody gets through. That's Goodney, recognize that
- 1:09:46post servicing a chip before my life or after life? Are you guys be
- 1:10:00I hated upstairs about hold down the floor? Yeah? Still your guys.
- 1:10:06Who wants to go first? All right? I will see. I'm willing
- 1:10:13to do the worst. Oh god, I think for my dream really mort
- 1:10:19or militarial front of the unknown, offering your fears, there's nothing harder.
- 1:10:34What the thank you all first coming to the special occasion. But right now
- 1:10:42with like a little pride to see what I was on board. I was
- 1:10:54already on board. It's Michael Keaton. I was already on board. Oh
- 1:11:00yeah, okay, And they and the what I loved about that they kept
- 1:11:04the spirit of the original one. That's what I was gonna say, Like
- 1:11:08you see some authentic callbacks, Okay, it doesn't sound like it's tacked on,
- 1:11:13Like I love when they did a little thing with Lydia and her face
- 1:11:16or whatever, or even that they're pulling their noses kind of like the way
- 1:11:20that they did it last time. Yeah, I yeah, I know.
- 1:11:26Bob to have his name called during the whole movie. It was like,
- 1:11:30Bob, Look, we all know, we all know that Bob is a
- 1:11:34great benchman. We know that from Batman eighty nine, which just so happens
- 1:11:42dars Michael Keaton and also named Bob. Uh So I want to watch the
- 1:11:47rich from Batman. Now just keep this from Bob? Do you not want
- 1:11:51to watch that? Though it's it's good, It's just good. My man
- 1:11:55was wearing Jordan's modified black black Jordan's at that and still has them and still
- 1:12:04the energy. I'm with it. I am with it the minute they announced
- 1:12:09it. He actually has it. Michael Keaton actually has it in his contract
- 1:12:12because in the original he had seventeen minutes of screen time. Mm hmm.
- 1:12:17He added in his contract he said he would only do it if he had
- 1:12:20seventeen minutes of screen time. Hmm. But see, that's the thing when
- 1:12:25you watch when you watch the original Beatle Juice, you don't you think he's
- 1:12:29in the majority of the film. He's not. Really. That's like signs
- 1:12:32of the LAMB numbers, like that's crazy. Yeah, it doesn't make sense
- 1:12:36though he really wasn't that much the first one. It doesn't show up until
- 1:12:42well into the second like the second act. Yep. Yeah, I'm like,
- 1:12:46oh that was crazy. And the fact that Lydia Diets is calling on
- 1:12:49him. It was giving me the cartoon vibes, right, he was giving
- 1:12:54me cartoons because it was just like, how did you go from the movie
- 1:12:57to the cartoon? Like now they just palin around. I'm trying to figure
- 1:13:00out I'm trying to figure high top toys number. And they sold toys.
- 1:13:05Yeah, that was about toys. That wasn't about anything as many things were
- 1:13:12during the eighties and nineties. Right. So here we are season finale of
- 1:13:23The Acolyte. Disclaimer, we do not hate Star Wars. I don't hate
- 1:13:30Star Wars. We don't like hate soul that. We don't like convoluted storylines.
- 1:13:40It was so here's our here's our thing. And I and I think
- 1:13:43I speak for the crew when I say this. There was a story to
- 1:13:46be told, yes, m in eight episodes practically thirty five forty minute run.
- 1:13:55Each episode was the story told, maybe in a too long of a
- 1:14:00form, as we know that it's it's as we know. It did open
- 1:14:03it up for a second season, but it but the way the pacing didn't
- 1:14:10portray that. Mm hmm, okay, round table, let's go. I'd
- 1:14:17like to be the first hater and the record. I'd like to be the
- 1:14:24first on record, as my ripe mainly is with Disney Plus and everybody that's
- 1:14:30trying to cram everything into an eight episode, you know, trying to cram
- 1:14:35everything into eight episodes. Two more episodes could have probably given us a better
- 1:14:40ending, flashed out a couple of things, maybe, but I'm tired of
- 1:14:46like it. It's like, once you get to my thing is, when
- 1:14:49you get to episode six and you have a handful of questions, very unlikely
- 1:14:56it's going to be answered in two more episodes. And I wouldn't I wouldn't
- 1:15:04say ten me personally, I wouldn't say ten episodes. I would say a
- 1:15:09full sixty minute episode don't give me, don't don't give me a time,
- 1:15:15and it says it says forty four forty seven minutes, and five of those
- 1:15:17mint five to eight of those minutes are credits. Give me, give me,
- 1:15:24give me the hour episode, so you can tell a little bit more
- 1:15:28of the story. Maybe the eight will be better told that way, But
- 1:15:31I don't know. Lady mandelor Yeah, no, I don't. I don't
- 1:15:35appreciate what they did at all, actors, stunt work, lightsaber work flows
- 1:15:46or its beautiful. The story, What was the point? What was the
- 1:15:50point of it? I guess, I guess to introduce dark like in the
- 1:15:56movie back, but they did the last minute way possible. But they is
- 1:16:00that who was supposed to be the dude in the shadow? Yeah? You
- 1:16:09telling me that? That's what the fuck up? That that's this? This
- 1:16:13is said that, this is setting the tone for that conversation between Anakin and
- 1:16:18and the Chancellor about how dark play is found, how to mitigate with the
- 1:16:25miny chlories or whatever the case may be. This is what espectly because you
- 1:16:30have the two of them supposed to be one person and you didn't even get
- 1:16:33a proper explanation or any explanation for that. Okay, yeah, this show
- 1:16:44should have been four episodes. Who is Osha? Osha has a sister?
- 1:16:49Who is teaching OSHA's sister? What? How did these two come to be?
- 1:16:55What's next? This needed to be four episodes. That's the third question.
- 1:17:00Is so mind blowing how they did not explore that. And and now
- 1:17:06if you if you think of it as a duology. So if they even
- 1:17:11get a second season, because I don't think they are they'll get a second
- 1:17:14second one, so much happened that they should. But with that being said,
- 1:17:21it's gonna it's gonna rush through their origin. Okay, if you if
- 1:17:27you keep with the timeline, then both Ocean and Agent Asian Daddy I forgot
- 1:17:34his name. Oh Soul No no no, no, not so no no
- 1:17:44here okay, there came here. They're not gonna be long for this war
- 1:17:49because then you have to introduce hopefully the Chancellor. Yeah, so I gotta
- 1:17:54I gotta ask this question to the Star Wars people in this one because and
- 1:17:59maybe I was blinking out during this episode, but what was the whole thing
- 1:18:03surrounding that one Jedi to the point to where they went after him? Like
- 1:18:08it was almost like, yeah, there were Torbin, the Padawan a k.
- 1:18:15The new Jedi. They were they were Yeah, he was, he
- 1:18:23was the he was the second one. Yeah he was, he was Moera.
- 1:18:31Oh yeah. And when they go home, I mean yeah, he
- 1:18:36put like a lawn chair. But still definitely it wasn't the same when he
- 1:18:42had a black girl and he said, I mean the night. Sister only
- 1:18:45had him for two seconds in the meal. He's like, I mean that
- 1:18:51one. It's like, I mean it was, it was it was his
- 1:18:55sister and it was Jody Turner Smith. So I can see why he folded.
- 1:19:00I'll allow it. The fleshes, the fleshes not talking for years,
- 1:19:10it's all good. She threw it on him in a different form in a
- 1:19:16circle, literally in a circle. Let's go. So during the making of
- 1:19:29that scene, I will say this. I will say this, there were
- 1:19:33some very interesting moments and like like Lady Mandlor said, uh, lightsaber,
- 1:19:40but duels and everything else beautiful, absolutely beautiful. People are griping about uh
- 1:19:47cannon, and let me be the one to say this. Can I say,
- 1:19:53go ahead, shut the funk up. That's because here's the thing you
- 1:20:01have. You have a massive universe of history in this world. And as
- 1:20:08we know, in reality, the history that you thought you knew often changes
- 1:20:15because things are discovered, right, this happens there. So I'm sorry,
- 1:20:23finished, sorry. So when you so, when you say, oh,
- 1:20:27I'll use it, I'll use a perfect example. When you were you were
- 1:20:30younger, you were told Christopher Columbus discovered America. Unless you were open minded,
- 1:20:34like certain individual that's speaking right now, and knew that could not have
- 1:20:38been true if Native Americans were already living here. Uh So it's not until
- 1:20:45later they said, oh no, this dude, he was doing things,
- 1:20:48he had no business. He was lost it. And that came years later.
- 1:20:53So here we are in the Star Wars universe and you say, no,
- 1:20:57but this is supposed to happen, and the sythem didn't exist, and
- 1:21:00this happened that you know of, right, But also there are so many
- 1:21:06not so many like it's dozens, but there are so many authors with so
- 1:21:11many different interpretations of what the what the force is, who should be cannon?
- 1:21:16And what character is is is who? And attached to this one,
- 1:21:21it's gon't let it go. Be grateful that they're incorporating any of the ship
- 1:21:28from any of those authors into this universe, because y'all we were dry,
- 1:21:32dry for ideas. There was nothing coming out of these goddamn heads, uh
- 1:21:41executives' brains that was gonna make any of this universe look beneficial. Y'all better
- 1:21:45be grateful that Filoney signed back up on board. I don't know what they
- 1:21:49did. I don't know how George got reinvolved. Y'all need to watch your
- 1:21:55mouths watch a mouth? Can I say that once upon a time and and
- 1:22:00maybe someone will agree with me. When it comes to the imagination, you
- 1:22:03want to enrich that and nourish that. And Star Wars was something that planted
- 1:22:10that see for a lot of future writers, artists, creators and things like
- 1:22:14that. So when you see people come in and talking about it's not cannon,
- 1:22:17I look at you and say, so, what are you lending each
- 1:22:19other creative process? Other than being a bitch? What are you offering to
- 1:22:24the argument instead of being a little fuckhead? Because all you're doing right now
- 1:22:28is lending your little bullshit theories when you're still sitting in the same bowl at
- 1:22:30serial in front of it you have for twenty years because you do know how
- 1:22:34to move, you don't know how to create, But you want to get
- 1:22:38mad because the lightsaber color is different from this one. How about this,
- 1:22:42put on some clean clothes, shut the fuck up and leave the rest of
- 1:22:44us alone. How shit? The fact that the fact that someone actually the
- 1:22:50fact that someone actually cried about the kyber crystal. I said, you do
- 1:22:55know how this works? Right? Like it bleeds? Give out negative emotion.
- 1:23:00That's what it does. Now actually happened in the video game to Survivor.
- 1:23:06Yeah. See, okay, so here we are. My cannon for
- 1:23:12the fucking Kyer Crystal is that it's synthetic. That's my cannon. It's not
- 1:23:16even about the energy from the force. It's read because they can't duplicate what
- 1:23:20happens naturally in the universe. That's so there's already three different ways. You
- 1:23:26can have a red car. Y'all need y'all gotta y'all gotta breathe a little
- 1:23:30bit. You ain't gonna get every part from the legends into cannon. Y'all
- 1:23:34got, y'all gotta learn. And this is why they had and when when
- 1:23:39I'm speaking in terms of the writers or whoever, director, whoever, this
- 1:23:44is why you have. This is why when they started this whole thing with
- 1:23:46Star Wars, when Disney came in on board, got the Pride, the
- 1:23:49Pride, the ip and everything they said, they took everything off the board.
- 1:23:56They had to. They had to, And a lot of people don't
- 1:24:00understand that. I'm like, that is a very deep and rich history of
- 1:24:05stuff. They have to take everything off the board in order for it.
- 1:24:10They were like, let's take some of this, let's make it sense for
- 1:24:13story, narrative and moving things forward. Right. I'm not saying it all
- 1:24:17works perfectly, but this is what they have to do now. In the
- 1:24:21case of this, I would have said, give me longer episodes that explain
- 1:24:30certain things. Some things just moved way too slow, right I don't care
- 1:24:36about and way too quickly. Yeah. Yeah, that part glossed over way
- 1:24:43too quick. I'm like, whoa wait a minute now, And it didn't
- 1:24:45really give you because we weren't sure. We weren't sure if it was going
- 1:24:48to get a second See, we weren't sure if this was a one shot
- 1:24:51season or anything. We didn't I mean we didn't, I mean we really
- 1:24:57didn't know exactly. And once again from some one who Star Wars, knowledge
- 1:25:00is not is limited and looking at this as if I'm watching for the first
- 1:25:05time, so I get where we're all watching this for the first time.
- 1:25:12This this is it. Well, what I'm saying is you have background knowledge,
- 1:25:15like when you look at it, you're looking at it like, Okay,
- 1:25:18how much are they including in it? And if they're going to be
- 1:25:21following because you're not gonna be one of those ones, it's gonna be like,
- 1:25:26like like Navy said, the light taper is supposed to be read.
- 1:25:30It hates the you know, you're not gonna be one of those. That's
- 1:25:32what I'm getting at. But at the same time, when you're telling a
- 1:25:36story like this, like we saw from Themisldes one through five, it's like,
- 1:25:40Okay, you're telling the story of how these two came to be,
- 1:25:44what happened with the Night Sisters, why are they in hiding, and things
- 1:25:46of that nature. And then after episode five then six, Nick was like,
- 1:25:53what it's like, like you you started off strong, and then three
- 1:25:57episodes later you're just like, so this is where we are, hell spawn,
- 1:26:03hellspa. If you're watching or listening later, you're probably in better Right
- 1:26:06now. They are cops just he's he said it. He wasn't wrong,
- 1:26:15But the way his soul just doubled down on hisself righteousness, I said,
- 1:26:18and then the way that they thought that under rock it is not vible quick
- 1:26:24fast. I don't get it. He's still he's still he still has not
- 1:26:30come to terms with his emotions or his whole thing, his whole purpose about
- 1:26:38why he did what he did and the fact like you said, lady,
- 1:26:42the fact that they swept it under the rug without the thought and yet the
- 1:26:48dark side is seen is evil. But to me you, I mean,
- 1:26:54at least they're not gonna lay a lot that helmets, so you can train
- 1:27:02yourself. We'll give you the smile of rent helmet too far? What you
- 1:27:08got too far? Imagine? I mean the Lightsabers worked on unexplained devenslayer logic.
- 1:27:14I'm okay with that, so I thought it was cool they weren't.
- 1:27:21I mean, I've seen the crystals, but this is a I'm okay with
- 1:27:24that, But I kind of clocked the pacing, like what was it like
- 1:27:26the third or fourth episode, It's gonna be fights, backstory fights, backstory
- 1:27:30fights, backstory rense to repeat, end of this. I still don't know
- 1:27:33what the hell everyone wants. That's that's been my biggest thing, Like,
- 1:27:36what is the end goal here for anyone involved in like the Jedi trying to
- 1:27:42duck the high countsil that in outside investigation is putting is strung together more than
- 1:27:47what I'm trying to What is everyone's end goal here? Like mm hmm.
- 1:27:50We we erased one's memory, the other one is now just they've just switched
- 1:27:55places basically, right, and we're just gonna do this season in reverse next
- 1:28:00season literary. That was a dumb move. I will say this. I
- 1:28:04will say this. There's somebody I need to shout out. Dennis Harewood,
- 1:28:11the counselor. Yepand yeah, he read John John h he read. He
- 1:28:21read them for filth, and I'm just like, it will be your brother,
- 1:28:26do it all right? I saw him coming. I was like,
- 1:28:30well, John Jones is dressing your ass down, and you don't like read
- 1:28:32y'all. He was reading y'all the fucking Riot Act comic book, newspaper articles.
- 1:28:41He said what he had to say, and then when he came to
- 1:28:44the to the being in front of the whole council, he's still in the
- 1:28:47back. Like I said, Wayne, not if I loved it. When
- 1:28:57I loved it. When he still before her, he said good luck or
- 1:29:00as you as your Jedi say was it, may the Force be with you,
- 1:29:03and just walked away, still looking at her. I was like,
- 1:29:05oh, get it, let's go. They had the cover story ready like
- 1:29:13upon finding the body and still give him a biking. Yeah, he seemed
- 1:29:18to himself, And I'm like, wait a minute, hold on, just
- 1:29:23this is why I sit there and say, and yet the Sith are supposed
- 1:29:26to be the evil ones. I'm just I'm like, wait, wait,
- 1:29:30wait, wait, wait this seriously, I'm just saying, corrupted Jedi.
- 1:29:36You literally are you literally lied to ocean and then like it's like you can't
- 1:29:42feel the emotions. So they cut him off before you could say that he
- 1:29:45loved them. But I'm like, you're literally not supposed to feel this at
- 1:29:46all. Like you're just as correct, You're just as correct. Our current
- 1:29:54republic died because one guy got laid like are we not? I think you
- 1:29:58we're just doing the that's who if they just sat there and said, do
- 1:30:04you want to keep do you want to have a family? Yes, you
- 1:30:06would have saved now when he said when that when he now he took truths
- 1:30:15and bent them. Mhm, because when he said, I tried to save
- 1:30:19you both, Yeah, that's how it started. And then you clearly made
- 1:30:26a decision. I want I want to paddle one. I want to paddle
- 1:30:31one. That was not Let's let's be real about this. He was looking
- 1:30:45at Osha straight on from jump when he on the corner from that tree.
- 1:30:53It was all about it. He was not for both because they were He
- 1:30:58was just like, you know there was a version on this point. I
- 1:31:01can't find it anywhere. But because we've been here, how long were they
- 1:31:04there? They were like there for several weeks. Yeah, several weeks.
- 1:31:09So it was like and we can't find it, and then here it is.
- 1:31:12He see these kids and he and he senses something. He's like,
- 1:31:15I'll take one of them. What right? The instant obsession was what got
- 1:31:24me and thank you. Yeah, it was weird, like if you were
- 1:31:30to tell me, like, if you were to tell me they did.
- 1:31:31Raycon left according to the orders and followed them for months and then it got
- 1:31:36weird and he was like, I made a rash decision. Cool. He
- 1:31:40walked in. He walked in, and it was like on some like prior
- 1:31:45to everything cleared, he was on like some neverland ranch behavior. Kept telling
- 1:31:55him, No, it's like I'm going to go finding myself. I'm gonna
- 1:32:00go and see what going on. You okay with your Irish accent, that's
- 1:32:06just an Irish accent right there? Know that that would be more Scotland right
- 1:32:19here. There's more dumb centered than their tongue is in the front of their
- 1:32:24mouths about yes, I guess between the cameos, no young Yoda yet,
- 1:32:34I was hoping for that bullshit the back of the Yoda's head and that was
- 1:32:42it. Did that, y'all I missed. I didn't even see the old
- 1:32:45boy. Yeah, it was literally it was literally, you don't long enough.
- 1:32:51I can't think of her her character's name, but Leslie had the actress
- 1:32:56her name for for V. E. R. Something. I can't remember
- 1:33:00her name. But that's when you find out. That's when you found out
- 1:33:04Caremie. That's when you found out Camire was her student, her failed student.
- 1:33:09At that I lost respect for him. After the end of the episode,
- 1:33:12it was like, okay, she is sa't a cool helmet, but
- 1:33:14you're trying to hide the second he was like, I need this back now.
- 1:33:18No, it's like it's like a magneto helmet. Yeah, but the
- 1:33:23one person you're trying to hide from clearly Okay, So this isn't about looking
- 1:33:26cool to Mute and Kai. You're trying to hide from Charles. That's that
- 1:33:30was Yeah, that's who he's Yeah, that's what it was. It wasn't
- 1:33:34about was he good in tapping into the forest using that helmet, yes,
- 1:33:41but it had a double a double feature, and it was keeping himself hidden.
- 1:33:45M because that was even when he fought all the Jedi, he said
- 1:33:48that. He's like, no, I can't leave anybody alive. So now
- 1:33:53the question is one, why did you go bad? He doesn't know.
- 1:33:59He explains that. He explains that because he was like, he was feeling
- 1:34:02a lot of these different things that the Jedi was like, this is not
- 1:34:05normal for you to feel as a Jedi, and he was like, not,
- 1:34:09I want to be able to tap into those feelings. I want to
- 1:34:12be able to tap into this power. And you keep on telling me that
- 1:34:15I'm wrong for that. This is this is true. This is true,
- 1:34:20you know. But yeah, they do. They do explain that. Yeah.
- 1:34:25I love how they sit there and say emotions lead to the dark side.
- 1:34:29So yeah, because the Jedi do your force training in this cool helmet
- 1:34:38and then green Mom shows U like, well shi it turn it off,
- 1:34:40bitch, I need that back. His whole cool points went out the window.
- 1:34:44He was like, I ain't doing this ship again. But everyone else
- 1:34:49you were ready to fight everyone else. When she pulled up, it was
- 1:34:53like, I need to go and find my corner immediately training over you on
- 1:34:57your skirt. But I just but I will say this about the show.
- 1:35:01I love the fact that the fight scenes have evolved. Okay, that's the
- 1:35:05one. There's there's a silver lining we can say about this. The fight
- 1:35:10scenes haven't have have evolved, and even how they use the Force. Yeah,
- 1:35:15okay, it's not just the fight scenes, but on the evolution of
- 1:35:17the Force, that is something I do. Like, Like I remember even
- 1:35:20when Ray was kind of healing or whatever, like you're trying to push the
- 1:35:26thought process of what the Force can do forward and not just about it just
- 1:35:30being that you can pull something and you can you can Jedi mantrack, you
- 1:35:34know what I'm saying. So I did agree with that, Huh. I
- 1:35:40just said. I this is I keep saying they need to bring back Force
- 1:35:48unleash because everybody was using it in different ways and like damn, near every
- 1:35:53boss fights and nobody complained about that ship. That's why I don't. That's
- 1:35:58why I don't. That's why I don't worry about how they're using the Force.
- 1:36:02There's it's it's it's like martial arts. You have a blocks, you
- 1:36:08have punches, you have strikes, it's how you do it. How Jet
- 1:36:13Lee does it is different from Jackie Chan, and how Jackie Chan different is
- 1:36:16different from how Donnie Yan does it, and it's different from Michael J.
- 1:36:20White. However, you still getting hit. I'm just saying it's the first
- 1:36:27prequel movie and then we just never used that again. I had a thought,
- 1:36:31and I think the thought of my head is better than their writing,
- 1:36:34so this is probably not going to happen. My thought process is that what's
- 1:36:39this man's name? A Camire does know darth Plagus island. He had to
- 1:36:45put the helmet back on to keep Vnesta from reading his probing into his thoughts
- 1:36:51and finding Plagas. But again, my thoughts are better than the writing.
- 1:36:59So it was until the mask came off, even though he's like, they
- 1:37:04can't make me sweat, until his sense the pulls up and stabs him in
- 1:37:08the spine. Mm hmm, downy is gonna touch you fifty eleven times?
- 1:37:14It's right, you can't hurt me. No more so so, Lady Mandelor,
- 1:37:23I got a question, would you think it's more The issue with this
- 1:37:28show for us is more along the lines of how the writing was paced,
- 1:37:39because it it no something else to say to count of that. No,
- 1:37:45No, the writing with the show felt fumbled. It felt like they started
- 1:37:51off strong. They had a great opening, but they didn't know how to
- 1:37:58punch the landing full if that's if that makes sense. They there's no dessert.
- 1:38:03There's barely a main course. The appetisers were ship though, you know
- 1:38:08what I mean, the little pigs in a blanket. Yeah, they was
- 1:38:11hidden for a little bit. But I'm hungry, hungry. I'm not here
- 1:38:15for appetizers. I'm here for the whole meal. If you're gonna give me,
- 1:38:18what is it, eight course meal, I want all eight of them
- 1:38:21courses. I want to be you, my guy. I want to.
- 1:38:26I want to. You don't need to, you don't need to be here,
- 1:38:28here, here, here, and then you drop me like no,
- 1:38:30no, I'm not here for that. If you keep going up, you
- 1:38:33need to keep going up. You need to punch it, punch it,
- 1:38:36punch it. Not not all. If you give me a nice smooth landing,
- 1:38:41that dessert could be a little a little something foam or whatever, a
- 1:38:44little sweet treat. Again, you don't have to be as piece of cake.
- 1:38:47I'm full from the mail already, don't give me a yeah. That
- 1:38:51would have that would have made the ending that that that Yoda revealed, That
- 1:38:56would have made that ending that much sweeter. Yoda should have been should have
- 1:39:00been in this series, like Kianati Munday was just there because like was the
- 1:39:11No, I don't agree, you don't think he should. You know me,
- 1:39:15I actually really know what I'm saying, Like I was hoping to see
- 1:39:17more Jedi who we know will live long lives because of their what their how
- 1:39:23long their race lives. So now the fact that we only got one,
- 1:39:27it's like and Kyati Monday is here for some reason, the one person who
- 1:39:30specifically said there hasn't been a Sith for millennial, which now you're just now
- 1:39:34you just open up a can of worms just because if you were telling me
- 1:39:38that, like you're showing the other past Jedi who've been around to kind of
- 1:39:44hey, they were here for this situation or just fun cameos cool, but
- 1:39:46he it was it was just Kiyati unless it's one of them when less and
- 1:39:53less and less. It's one of those situations where once again it goes back
- 1:39:58to the history. According to history, which is probably what he should have
- 1:40:01said. Mm hmmm. According to history, there hasn't been a Sith in
- 1:40:05millennia. Well, the way that they make this, the way they made
- 1:40:10this go right now, it's not you know what I mean, I don't
- 1:40:15know, John, correct me from wrong. I don't even know if they
- 1:40:17hold them that they didn't. They actually didn't. They actually did so.
- 1:40:21I was about to say, so if you're even talking from a technical standpoint
- 1:40:25that they did it. If you're talking about from non technical standpoint outside of
- 1:40:29the word sith, I don't know if they know what to call it,
- 1:40:33you know what I mean? They just might be like, oh, this
- 1:40:34is rogue Jedi, especially because even commun community community he was like, what
- 1:40:42did you call him? Sith? So even he didn't know unless he was
- 1:40:46just teasing. But still, so at this point, you don't have that.
- 1:40:50I just really thought that this was actually going to be the beginning of
- 1:40:55their version of rule two. That's why I really thought that this was going
- 1:40:59to be about and so, and I would have actually walked away a little
- 1:41:02bit satisfied without plagues. Yeah, because once you bring him plague is now
- 1:41:09you're bringing in all that history of what that can mean. And it's like
- 1:41:15this kind of don't make sense now you kind of just watch. My other
- 1:41:20thought is that if they are really ten toes ten toes down and keeping this
- 1:41:26a secret, then him saying that we haven't seen them in a millennia is
- 1:41:30accurate. Mm hm. That was kind of what I felt like was the
- 1:41:32retcon. But it just felt weird to have, like, is that caught
- 1:41:36to you? I didn't catch the Yota things on my second watch, but
- 1:41:40even then, to just have specifically only him out of all of our old
- 1:41:44living races, it just felt like, by the way, he's also here
- 1:41:47service that that felt like, yes, service, But it's just like which
- 1:41:54which which course of dinner are we at here? Right? Dinner? Lunch,
- 1:41:59dessert, leonard where we I'm not gonna at the meal. I just
- 1:42:03don't know we're eating it at the right time. You're right, Kevin,
- 1:42:05You're right, Kevin. Kevin David says, the Star Wars renewed and or
- 1:42:09in Ah Sooka for season two, and they didn't have black use bust of
- 1:42:12viewship. They didn't but Disney, but they Yeah, it was like Ah
- 1:42:18Soka. I was I was expecting the second season because we were we were
- 1:42:23invested anyway. And Or was the one. I was like, oh,
- 1:42:26I didn't think they were going to give it a second season, considering you,
- 1:42:30in fact, we know what happens, right, So that was the
- 1:42:35surprise platter. But whatever, They opened up way too much of the SOCA
- 1:42:42for them not to give us second season. Yeah, open up the live
- 1:42:46action throw on and not give us a second season. Yeah. I feel
- 1:42:49like they all got this memo, like go completely insane on your middle episode
- 1:42:54and then just do what you need to do from there. Because middle episode
- 1:42:58of this episode five of us Soka, which is like just on steroids.
- 1:43:03Yeah, they give you that that looking look at uh Netflix Daredevil episode five,
- 1:43:10All seasons episode five, something major happens. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
- 1:43:15which one Always five was always the magical number for whatever is going to
- 1:43:21be the pivotal moment. Yeah, especially when it's a short run season,
- 1:43:26like short episode type season. Yeah, it was always a hallways. See,
- 1:43:34I'm still confused about the Coven because like, are we just as the
- 1:43:39conclusion that they were just gonna have terrible parents regardless of who they got left
- 1:43:43with? What was even their plan? You can stab Smoke apparently, because
- 1:43:46I thought she was just gonna phase away and be like, yeah, she
- 1:43:51should have. She was gonna go over to And then why why does canceling
- 1:43:56the chant kill everybody? Like I but see, I think to your question.
- 1:44:03First of all, we didn't get so much about them for them for
- 1:44:08you to even say that they're going to be bad parents, not you specifically,
- 1:44:11but just the assumption that they're going to be bad parents. Because like,
- 1:44:14one thing that that annoyed me was that soul was just dead on like
- 1:44:17I'm rescuing them, I'm rescuing them. You're rescuing them from what though you
- 1:44:21have, because there was no there was no other other than the other than
- 1:44:26the training that he's seen, which by design is not brutal. There you
- 1:44:31was not know what they were training them for. You have no idea what
- 1:44:34threat they might have been under and as to why that this might have been
- 1:44:38something for survival. So therefore you have you're going in very very blind.
- 1:44:44So you're making us the viewers, to make it seem as if these women
- 1:44:49are bad when in fact, we have no idea what they were about,
- 1:44:55and they didn't even bother giving us that information. But ahead, what is
- 1:45:00her name? The mother? Jesus? I'm sorry, Jodi Turner Smith.
- 1:45:04Yes, they, She explained it it's about power. The Jedi don't know
- 1:45:11how to wield that power. And for them over there to have it at
- 1:45:15all, y'all making forced babies over Oh wait minute, at all. In
- 1:45:25the words of comedic poet Carlos Miller, quit touching ships. Yet that stops
- 1:45:30literally what you were told, literally stops everything that from the time he discovered
- 1:45:36that in the forest, and that up for a while, because that is
- 1:45:41the parallels to Europeans coming across Native American people. Look at that. Would
- 1:45:45I would have of the coming having a run from them before and given reasons
- 1:45:49why, like I would tell you the minute the minute told soul and they
- 1:45:57were joking. She was joking about it, but he took it seriously.
- 1:45:59This way you to have a padawan. I said, this is where that
- 1:46:02shit started. That's where it started, because the many he saw them in
- 1:46:09the forest, he just went on straight stalker mode. And I said,
- 1:46:11oh, here we go. Now, I don't like your ass because you
- 1:46:15went all the way to where they're at. They wasn't fucking with nobody,
- 1:46:17they were doing their own thing. You got your feelings hurt because you're not
- 1:46:21a master with a padawan, and here's a master with a padawan and you
- 1:46:27got, you know, all of a sudden, your you know, your
- 1:46:29nuts all shriveled up. I'm going to get her. I will save her.
- 1:46:31So now that's the excuse he used in order to infiltrate and I just
- 1:46:35like wow, bro, wow, and yeah now yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 1:46:43Now. I will say this for the twins which were which we find
- 1:46:47out aren't really twins, their parentage dynamic is a mirror image of how the
- 1:46:58girls act. Mm hm yeah when you have because the other mother she was
- 1:47:04I'm like, doll it down, chill, chill. It fits. It
- 1:47:12fits with what we know of that race we see in the media. For
- 1:47:16that race of people, they're a little agro, does that? They not
- 1:47:23that she didn't care any less, she carried the kids. She's she may
- 1:47:27seem a little agro to us, but to her, she's mama burying her
- 1:47:30kids. Was heids she's she was like, she was like, she was
- 1:47:36like anger anger, I'm like caring, bring it down, and what do
- 1:47:44you call it? Star that as those girls are in danger, it's just
- 1:47:47no, they're getting She was getting them ready for a Jedi filled universe where
- 1:47:53y'all go around being cops to everything. You don't understand what what I will
- 1:47:58what I will say is that whole entire event was seriously a series of unfortunate
- 1:48:05events. That that's what that boiled down to. It was just like you
- 1:48:10shouldn't have been there, You shouldn't have started the fire, and you should
- 1:48:13have mined your business. That's what that like. Nobody told you to run
- 1:48:15off to do nothing. Nobody told you to run off to do anything,
- 1:48:19and you shouldn't have been there in the first damn place. Mm hmm,
- 1:48:23I'm gonna tell you what lemony snicker came in my head. I was like,
- 1:48:26oh, May, all you think was the Baudelier is just going and
- 1:48:30get in the middle of the shit. The awpins just get in the middle
- 1:48:33of ships. And that's what that's. As I was watching that episode of
- 1:48:38how that whole thing unfolded, I'm like, he should have kept his Nobody
- 1:48:42told Torben the runoff, he should have not even moved exactly. And when
- 1:48:46it go home, May May should have checked your guys. May should have
- 1:48:50been checked in because that whole starting the fire thing, it was like dealing
- 1:48:55with stuff you ain't got no business, so read off to yeah, firebuk.
- 1:49:01To be fair, her mother got her all hyped up, and man
- 1:49:03just said, go ahead, create chaos. I'm like, you should have
- 1:49:08got your ass kick for that. You know. There was that, and
- 1:49:11then Soul going after Torben and everybody going after Torben. It was just like
- 1:49:15you should have snatched his I get it. You went after him to like
- 1:49:18yo is back in the car, you know. But then you still were
- 1:49:25there because now other stuff didn't happen, other things has gone down, and
- 1:49:30now you have to do something right, you know, But had you not
- 1:49:35been there being nosy? So can someone explain one thing to me? When
- 1:49:43Torbin took off, why didn't Endara take her ass and go after her paddawa
- 1:49:46and leave Soul behind. That was like, that's he's not Soul's responsibility,
- 1:49:54right, you're you're his master. Why did you send another master off after
- 1:50:00your paddawan? I was like, this is this is some stupid ship.
- 1:50:03You you knew he was unstable, Yeah, you man after an insane boy.
- 1:50:09Meanwhile, we're still in the camp. Everything is safe. Oh,
- 1:50:12call the council. You hear the wookies just like he's Motherfuckerie was he was
- 1:50:21the blackest Jedi in the whole. Let me get I got it. Now
- 1:50:28I gotta do something I don't That's that was his old vibe. He was
- 1:50:34like, perfectly fine by this fire. I gotta do some ship like I
- 1:50:40done told you about this little blond head boy. I told you all I
- 1:50:43want to hear me. So whatever I told you, Powder Force powers,
- 1:50:50magic kids, Ocean's mom, she's dead. We didn't start the fire.
- 1:51:00That was a nice sound. Real quick, my career, everybody the evil
- 1:51:06twin who's not the good one? Thing? That one, that one,
- 1:51:13I've seen it. I kind of seen that coming. I'm like, they're
- 1:51:15gonna magically put her memory back, like sit it with Yoda for an hour
- 1:51:18by the way over there, Yeah, I kind of seen that one coming.
- 1:51:23When I'm like when when May decides to pose as Osha and all the
- 1:51:29way by the way, yeah, all the way down. I'm like,
- 1:51:31oh, so you read Booty Pip, so Pip just gonna follow you.
- 1:51:34And because Peple don't know Shipp anymore, us like Pip squirtter in the guy
- 1:51:41oh nigga, Okay, Like so this this whole I'm like, so they're
- 1:51:45not they switching side, and I kind of seen that coming. I didn't
- 1:51:48really like that. I'm glad. I'm glad they did it, just I'm
- 1:51:54like it was too I don't know if it's because it was too predictable or
- 1:51:58if it's just that's true, right, What was the need to me?
- 1:52:02The reason why, I say is because we always have basically light characters daylight
- 1:52:09and dark characters day dark. I hear what you're saying, Kara. I
- 1:52:12kind of agree with it in a sense, but I'm not gonna lie to
- 1:52:14you. I do like the fact that you actually had a light character go
- 1:52:17dark, and I hope that that would have been fine. That would have
- 1:52:21been fine, but it was just like, you have the light character go
- 1:52:26dark, and now what the dark character is gonna go light? And I'm
- 1:52:30like, and and now that we know that they're they actually write her out
- 1:52:33the show just love her and I fos once. This is the first time
- 1:52:39that this has happened. It happened in Obi Wan. We had the night
- 1:52:45sister be like, oh ship, maybe I'm not on the right fucking side
- 1:52:47and she runs off there. Had it happened with Anak? Who else did
- 1:52:54it happen to? It's happened to Ventures? Did they stay that way?
- 1:53:01If you've even Ventures? I actually like her card because her art was very
- 1:53:06personal and and and I understood the push and pull, right, But did
- 1:53:12they stay that way on that trajectory? That's the thing. They never stick
- 1:53:16to a staying part. They always either have them go back and forth,
- 1:53:20back and forth, or just stay. And I'm just like, I want
- 1:53:24to see someone who is supposed to be projected to be light go dark and
- 1:53:29stay that way. Mm hmm. You have not seen me personally, I
- 1:53:32have not seen that. And that's why I think you like who's she went
- 1:53:39dark? But for what Literally everyone who's accosted you was dead? So like,
- 1:53:42what's what purpose do you have? Right? I mean? Is it?
- 1:53:45Because? Is it? Because me? Personally? I think they did
- 1:53:50a poor way of portraying the fact that one they're not really twins, they're
- 1:53:57one of the same quote unquote persons, right if you will, I use
- 1:54:05the word glimmer. But did this when you hear about the Virgins, and
- 1:54:13then you think about Ocean May, and then you think about how Anakin came
- 1:54:17to be, and then you think about Luke and Lea mm hmmmm mm hmm.
- 1:54:26You start, you start, the one of the force made some improper
- 1:54:29decisions because how often did they say Anakin was the one to bring balance to
- 1:54:33the force. Anakin is the one to bring balance to the force. Ana
- 1:54:39is the one to bring balance to the force. Technically he did, yeah,
- 1:54:44by having Luke and Lea h r m hm. So right now think
- 1:54:55having I mean, but would look Layer be considered part of the virgins?
- 1:55:01No? The side of light? No, so they have to be.
- 1:55:09Although although the that we've seen that we've seen anyway, Luke has battled that
- 1:55:20lie. He hasn't gone dark, but he has seen that vision of him
- 1:55:26being so oh yeah, all Jedi are tempted. So the question is which
- 1:55:30what which side you line? You're gonna stand on a you're gonna stay on
- 1:55:32this side, or you're gonna jump to the other side. You're gonna dress
- 1:55:34like a nerd, you're gonna look like a cool ninja. Choice which is
- 1:55:39always since they're always assured. So would you say, okay, we go
- 1:55:45further the fact that we know how Anakin was created mm hmm. We or
- 1:55:54it's been implied regulation regulation, and that yeah, in mac the conception,
- 1:56:06can we say that maybe an was was maybe part of the virgins. I
- 1:56:17said, it isn't that. Isn't that. No, it's it's basically,
- 1:56:28you know what, you're not even sure ten times a night, sister,
- 1:56:36That's all I'm saying. She spent some time with the Copings, the maker,
- 1:56:44Kenny's mom from South Park. I never should have hung out with that
- 1:56:45cult that summer ship. But that's the joy of that's the joy of Star
- 1:56:53Wars because there are infinitely, there are a lot of gaps and storytelling.
- 1:56:57Now see this, that's the part of it that I love. Yes,
- 1:57:00it lends to the imagination. You know, it's always a discussion somewhere.
- 1:57:02What do you think? What do you think? What do you think?
- 1:57:05It's just the purists who drive the whole conversation nuts because you want it to
- 1:57:10be fact. No imagination is in fact. Imagination will always be abstract.
- 1:57:15It's always an idea, it's always a concept. So and that's what makes
- 1:57:20it fun. Meanwhile, the Stormtroopers are like, at least we know certain
- 1:57:26shit. I know who my daddy is. He's your daddy. Wait here.
- 1:57:35So when the storm people say to a Jedi, I know who my
- 1:57:39daddy is, right, So I want to say this I father's day.
- 1:57:45Overall performance of the Actolyte on the scale of one to ten, overall performance,
- 1:57:50storytelling, pacing, action, and I was just say, sticking the
- 1:57:57landing, maybe we'll start with you. Honestly, I give it a seven.
- 1:58:02Okay, I give it a seven because there's across the board, across
- 1:58:08the board because the acting phenomenal. But I agree with the lady Mandalor said
- 1:58:14they stumbled on the pace. They stumbled on the story. In the beginning,
- 1:58:17it was great you were introducing these characters. But when you got to
- 1:58:21a certain point where you could simply make it worthwhile, you stumbled, You
- 1:58:29tripped and fell, and then you tried to come back up to throw in
- 1:58:31a fight scene. You had it right there. So it's still the potential
- 1:58:35of something great coming from it. But I'm not gonna give it ten.
- 1:58:40I'm not gonna give it ten. This is this is a seven at best,
- 1:58:45five at worst, lady, So I'm gonna go to the middle of
- 1:58:51Nay, I'm gonna say six. I've always I kind of thought it was.
- 1:58:56It has been. I don't think it's a total failure. To your
- 1:58:59point, I think the best thing that for me I enjoyed, actually was
- 1:59:03seeing full throwed me that the Jedi a ship. I liked that because once
- 1:59:13again you are now marrying reality. You know that you can't. They're not
- 1:59:20pious, They're not all great, okay, And if you did not realize
- 1:59:26that, well, Samuel l I love what he did. I know why
- 1:59:29he did it, but he was about the closest, all right, I'm
- 1:59:32gonna take it on in. I kind of understood why any kind did what
- 1:59:35he did, but you know, it is what it but but it in
- 1:59:40Mason's defense, he was just like, look, I got to take a
- 1:59:44motherfucker out, y'all. I understand right humans that these are supposed to be
- 1:59:51the people of law and order. All right. Then with that being said,
- 1:59:56like I said, I give a six. It wasn't It wasn't horrible.
- 2:00:00It wasn't that horrible, but it wasn't great either. Whoopee, same
- 2:00:04boat as Laney. I'm gonna give it a solid six for practically the same
- 2:00:10reasons. It wasn't great. The patent could have been a lot better.
- 2:00:13There were a couple of things that were flat out predictable. For me,
- 2:00:16I can't speak for other people, but at a certain point. I could
- 2:00:19kind of sort of see what they were gonna do with a couple of things.
- 2:00:23But other than that, you know, I watched season two, and
- 2:00:27I'm sure other people will with hate in their heart. But this could become
- 2:00:33something else. It could hold it out. I'm not hopes, but I'll
- 2:00:40watch it. Okay, Lady mandelor girl, we only got so much time.
- 2:00:47Now you muted you so you're so focused. Anyway, Look, if
- 2:01:01they did not have the lovely, illustrious, uh shining example excellence, miss
- 2:01:09Joni Turner Smith, I'll turn that ship off a minute, and this this
- 2:01:15would if without the battle scenes Jody Turner Smith and a man who st she
- 2:01:24this would have been a four I would have without questions. That is very
- 2:01:30fair. I get that. Yes, what about Manny? Oh no no,
- 2:01:38no, hold hold hold hold hold no. I didn't need his show.
- 2:01:44I need a show with him. I'm not even Can you make me
- 2:01:47understand how I forgot about that man because he had his own show for me
- 2:01:53in that moment getting in and coming out the water, I forgot that he
- 2:01:57even in this thing, he did nothing wrong. He did nothing wrong at
- 2:02:01all at all. Okay, he is not a factor in this he needs.
- 2:02:06He is above reproach in my approach, do you need a moment?
- 2:02:13Do you need a moment to yourself? I have taken I would I may
- 2:02:21make me. I I six the show six nine for Manny, But that's
- 2:02:30it, all right? Far gotcha? Uh like a six and a half,
- 2:02:35just because I feel like again I kind of clocked the patient early on,
- 2:02:41and I feel like for the episodes of Backstory, I was left with
- 2:02:44more questions than answers, and it just I thought this is gonna be a
- 2:02:50story. I was like, all right, you can't have any witnesses,
- 2:02:53so it stays out of the history books all in. The final is getting
- 2:02:55a season two. So it's like, I like Jordan Jeckie that we just
- 2:03:00throw them away like they were nobody. I didn't right, that was such
- 2:03:04ship. I didn't like, they're going to come back to their names like
- 2:03:10they've been going so long. It's like, damn, I thought there was
- 2:03:13they were going to be important characters. Apparently not like four Ghosts nothing.
- 2:03:17We had red Shirt Jediie Jackie for the Wind because jesus, I'm like,
- 2:03:25y'all didn't train X twenty three for this right only to knock her over.
- 2:03:31On top of it, the coven just left me with questions I'm never getting
- 2:03:38answered because they all just got whatever the cult is that durnk the They could
- 2:03:43have had their own show, even they and only give them a little bit
- 2:03:50of next season. You would have tell me that these are like pretty early
- 2:03:55night sisters and they just got tired of it it went full dark maybe,
- 2:03:58or if you showed me a sister coven and what winds could have been,
- 2:04:01maybe I might be a little bit nicer. But the the I just I
- 2:04:06love with a lot of stuff that I'm not even sure based on how the
- 2:04:09show cares itself, they'll answer next season. They got in dar straight up.
- 2:04:15The Boys is great. Though that happened, I didn't watch it yet.
- 2:04:20I haven't either. That's gonna beat up my cherry on the top of
- 2:04:26Spartan. Stop going laughing, Yo, that's not that's not a lady mandalor
- 2:04:36laugh with some base in it. I don't know what is after the show
- 2:04:42to watch The Boys? Uh, all y'all catch up with that. I
- 2:04:45cannot wait them last five minutes are a lot. I am loving it.
- 2:04:51Oh anyway, let me let me, let me, let me show up
- 2:04:56before I sports up start. Yeah, like five, that's all I can
- 2:05:00give it, because how dare you? How dare you as someone who is
- 2:05:06getting introduced to this level of Star Wars? You start off great in five
- 2:05:12episodes and I keep stressing that because it was it was a greade five episodes,
- 2:05:16and then six, seven, and eight, and you decide to take
- 2:05:18a roulette wheel and then play Russian Roulette, then play with the clown,
- 2:05:24then take a dartboard, and then somehow in the middle of episode eight,
- 2:05:28give us a whole lot of backshots in the back of the head. You
- 2:05:30bringing Yoda for three seconds. Damn Yeah, I will say, yeah,
- 2:05:36I feel bad for the seven I just gave you. I will say six
- 2:05:41and a half maybe a high six eight mm only because and it's what And
- 2:05:47I'm with Lady Mandlor on this one. The saving grace are the battle scenes
- 2:05:54m hm and the acting mm hmm. The battle scenes and the acting are
- 2:05:59the saving grace. Amandola Steinberg, you did your thing. Jody Turner Smith
- 2:06:03did your thing. Uh, Daphne King, you did your motherfucking thing.
- 2:06:12I'm highly of that one out of everything, out of the entire series.
- 2:06:17That was the one that upset me the most. I'm like, that should
- 2:06:21not have happened in my Okay, injury, yes, wait, okay wait,
- 2:06:28not scheduling conflicts. We have a Deadpool movie coming out. Yes,
- 2:06:35scheduling conflicts. That's the only reason I will forgive them forgetting rid of this
- 2:06:43child as soon. Okay. Oh no, no, no, no,
- 2:06:47no, no, okay, I'm with you. I'm with you. When
- 2:06:50she said scheduling conflicts, I'm like, no, we took the show on
- 2:06:53for next week for no, not that scheduling that makes sense. Okay that
- 2:07:01if, if, if the payoff is what I think, if, I
- 2:07:04will forgive only if that's the reason. Don't get your home somehow because to
- 2:07:12lie all that time, So don't get your some high. Just no,
- 2:07:16just for just for Daphney King to understand that. But the fact she had
- 2:07:21the dies, like all them, what I'm saying, she had to dive
- 2:07:25let everybody else because at the end of it, Homegirl was lying on everybody
- 2:07:30about what happened. That's fair. So all right, Well we are wrapping
- 2:07:35this bad boy up because I'm going to watch the boys wrap up. Protocol

- 2:13:48who's supported blur Con and who's going to support Atlanta Comic Con, y'all are
- 2:13:52unsung heroes because you're taking the chance to come out and spend your money and
- 2:13:58see what it's all about, and so port the mission. Dron is working
- 2:14:01hard. The crew of blur Con, we work hard. But if you're
- 2:14:05complaining and you don't support, you don't have any skin in the game as
- 2:14:09far as I'm concerned. Stick to Facebook where you belong, because only little
- 2:14:15bitches complain about shit you know nothing about. But to everybody who's come to
- 2:14:18blur Con and you spent the entire time, y'all the motherfucking heroes, y'all
- 2:14:22are royalty. We love y'all. We appreciate y'all and everybody who supported us
- 2:14:28with blur Station and blur Con coming together three days of streaming. It wasn't
- 2:14:35easy, but it was done and we're proud of it. So thank y'all.
- 2:14:41I'm sorry. I am singing home again from the Greatest Showman. I
- 2:14:46can't. I love this song. Now I gotta play it again because my
- 2:14:52head. It stays in my head. And if they played and Deppoo was
- 2:14:58ween, I'll be a happy man. Spartan talk to the people and we
- 2:15:01will come back. Might y'all be shooting on Bridgerton, but here we are.
- 2:15:11Well, let me tell you some about version two. Things you know
- 2:15:16about Briston. Number one, dap needs a villain. Number two, pingam
- 2:15:20get caught there? I said it. You can. You can stick with
- 2:15:26up, you can stick with the shock face there care she is a villain.
- 2:15:30I'm I'm going bridgeton season three and Ping don't get caught. But she
- 2:15:35don't get runned through though, but she don't get caught. Black Underscore s
- 2:15:39part in six one five is where you can find me on the innerwebs do
- 2:15:43everything, including gym stuff. Why because when we find peace between the waves,
- 2:15:46you can find me on my shows How the Fred We got here?
- 2:15:50Every Wednesday at seven thirty ish as I usually cover the news, especially what's
- 2:15:54been going on with a certain person and and how they're still also looking stew
- 2:16:05up the glass yep. Also check out also other podcasts, get bit podcast
- 2:16:13every Friday the thirty as we will cover the news, especially with the trailers
- 2:16:16and comics and other news that has come out, including Deadpool controller because yes
- 2:16:22it is real, Yes it is, it is real. It is it
- 2:16:26is confirmed to be real about sitting on the bubble or genius. It's a
- 2:16:35controller with an actual Xbox Series X Deadpool skin, so they are marking the
- 2:16:41trap out of it? Podcast podcast? Can we see wherever podcast you'll get
- 2:16:46your get your podcasts from? Of course, our other person here, Mayhem
- 2:16:50Media, usually covers blurs on you dot Org. You can definitely find us
- 2:16:54there as most of us are writers there. I cover wrestling why because wrestling
- 2:16:56is real and people are fake. Again, this is a great time for
- 2:17:00wrestling as there are more of us who are now being shown in matches,
- 2:17:05being shown in championships, actually getting ring time, including female wrestlers because again,
- 2:17:09a lot of black wrestling, a lot of black women wrestlers out there
- 2:17:13are not getting the shine they should get and now is the perfect time to
- 2:17:16actually start watching, just saying outside of Reverend Navy's church, as I like
- 2:17:22to say, you know, we don't mess with the church's money. But
- 2:17:24the same time, guys, I like to share, and a follow costs
- 2:17:28nothing but would mean the world to us. The same time, with CON's
- 2:17:31going on, three simple rules. Number one, respect the cosplayer at all
- 2:17:35times, God's playing us for everybody, regardless of your height, your weight,
- 2:17:39your color, your preference. The only rule we have is don't do
- 2:17:41black face. Don't want your ass kick to the con. Don't do blackface.
- 2:17:45Number two, as others will testify who have been to Blurred Con,
- 2:17:50because a lot of these cons have very little room for a lot of people.
- 2:17:54Hygiene is important. It means wash your ass, deodorant, use pouthful,
- 2:18:00used toothpaste if you're gonna be close to somebody. Also, nade up
- 2:18:03the odorant does not work, just saying hygiene is everything. And number three
- 2:18:09is the same rule that I have for myself as half for everybody else in
- 2:18:11the world that is unkind that it's cruel. Simply put, be nice,
- 2:18:16be kind, share fandoms, don't be a dick, and we'll all be
- 2:18:18cool. All right, I'm checking the check. Karen. Did you have
- 2:18:24one more thing? Yes you did? Oh okay, So I put a
- 2:18:30link back in the comments if y'all want. We are still doing the arts
