  Speaker 1: in like two bucks. You can help save the show
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: and hear us say awesome things like this. okay, so
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: this is like a stereotype of everything a teenager is,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: except they didn't jerk off at any point. This isn't kick-ass.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Because there's plenty of that in kick-ass. They didn't allude
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to it anyways. But there wasn't any of that. The
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Marvel way has been like, no, we've heard that you
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: guys want it to be in the real world. So
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: this entire villain is built out of the fallout from
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: what these heroes are continually creating. And like, I love
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that because you're watching this guy is like, again, totally
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: working class and just sort of dealing with the mess
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: that they've made. And then goes, oh, You know what?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: They're leaving a lot of stuff around here.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I wish they would have mentioned this kind of stuff
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: in Civil War. I feel like it's a much more
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: direct connection with superhero and crime. It shows like, yeah,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: you guys are doing good things, but you have created
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: new evil networks and stuff because you're not kind of
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: doing it right. We need to be better about it.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: This whole, hey, I was a kid too once. Have fun.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: The comment about the body change was weird.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: That was a little odd. But I think it was
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: supposed to be awkward.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And the fact that she had no problem.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: No one has ever had that conversation and said, I
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: am so glad I had this conversation.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, with their aunt and the aunt is being portrayed
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: as kind of like this sexualized. Oh, she was hot.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie. Yeah, she was hot. And
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: then they were definitely bringing attention to that. It's like,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: everybody's trying to get what they meant.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, I was waiting for Ned to make sense
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Your body's going through changes.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I was like, oh, this is weird.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: The fact that she....
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: It's hard to call him evil. I think that was
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: the thing with Peter that he was learning. He was
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: kind of immature in his black or white sense of it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: And I think by the end he was realizing it's great.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: There isn't clear-cut bad guy, clear-cut good guy. This is
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: a good father that has to do bad stuff.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: It was very Breaking Bad.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: It was Breaking Bad.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I will do whatever it takes to take care of
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: my family. And you're kind of like, well, I have
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: to kind of respect that. I mean, a little, not
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: to the point of killing people, but at the same time,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: that's a fine line.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: And there's even that, there was a line, oh.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: My God.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: And right up to that point, I was sitting there thinking,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you know, this movie's good, but we need, it could
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: use some more Michael Keaton in it. Not as the vulture,
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: but as moots or whatever. That character's name is.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: He's a villain with a believable motive and great personality.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: And then I'm thinking that, and then he shows up,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and you get the big reveal, and it's like.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Halfway through that movie, I'm like, I kind of respect
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: this guy, because yes, he's pushing these brothers to do
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: stuff they don't want to do, but he's also being
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: super forward-thinking and being like, no, look, I have this dream,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: and I have this grand thing, and I want... Again, as, like, America, like,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: he just wants to be successful. And eventually it's, I
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: want to be successful at any cost. But before that, like,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: before he hits that point, like, it's a three-fourths of
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the way movie.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: But isn't that a supervillain, though?
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing. I'm like, it's not, it's a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: shade different in this movie. Because I'm like... it's the
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: same thing. I'm like, I still kind of respect him
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: most of the way through that movie and this movie.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I'm like, he's just driven and he's driven to the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: point of wanting to.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Be the best he can be.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: And that's the fucking American dream. Like, so all it
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: takes is that tweak to the other side to be like, oh,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and then I'm going to hurt people, you know?
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: So it's like, that's why he's such a good character.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: It was hard for me to even like see him
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: as bad until that moment.
