1:42
Obviously by our akas. We are here to discuss the finale, perhaps the
1:51
series finale. We don't know what this point. We don't act right at
1:56
the act right act like episode eight listen won't talk about a turnaround, and
2:04
and you happy in the first half, not gonna lie like we were not
2:07
happy with this series in the beginning at all at all, and to come
2:14
out on the end. I think you said the best earlier, but I
2:16
mean where you're like, you're you're begging them at this point to have a
2:21
season two because they really pulled themselves out the mud with this one. They
2:27
absolutely did. I they this series actually became the compelling mystery that they purported
2:34
it to be because all that stuff, honestly, for the first like five
2:37
episodes didn't even matter. It felt like almost like this this kind of and
2:42
I understand at the end of the day, it's probably just all misdirection.
2:44
They're trying to. Oh it matters about how did the family died? The
2:46
witches? How the witches die? And this, and that all of that
2:50
is kind of the spot besides the point now, right, it's just like
2:53
it's really about the deaths of the Lows and the amount of crimes that the
2:59
Jedi commit and continue to commit, and the cover ups that happened, the
3:02
secrets that happened, like on some true real life escmonage type stuff, Speakers
3:10
of the Government type stuff, you know what I mean. Like, this
3:13
show has really elevated itself in the last few episodes and now it's really giving
3:20
us something way more compelling than what we started with. And it's pretty much
3:23
exactly what I was looking for from the beginning of this show. Was when
3:28
they first told us that it would be one hundred years before the events that
3:32
we see in the beginning of a New Hope and all of the star Wars
3:37
that we know and love, I was like, Okay, cool, so
3:38
we're finally going to get to see the real origin of the Sith. Now
3:43
there's a lot of talk and in this episode we definitely get to see this
3:46
character and a lot of people were waiting for this was the Darth Plaguis character,
3:50
who we will talk about in a second. But it looks like we
3:53
actually saw in this episode. Now, I'm not as like super well versed
3:57
in all the extended universe and the legend and all that as some people are,
4:01
so I wasn't like, okay, you know, I just wanted to
4:03
see what they would show us. As far as the origins of this I
4:08
didn't know. I didn't need to see specific characters or any of that type
4:11
of stuff because I didn't really know any of that stuff like that. So
4:14
I was just more looking for that, and then at the beginning of this
4:16
show we got I don't know, it was kind of goofy. I felt
4:20
like a lot of the stuff didn't really looked like it should cost nearly as
4:25
much as it did. I feel like they saved a lot of the good
4:28
budget for the later episodes like this one, where a lot of things look
4:30
fantastic throughout the episode, and it just became that show where it's like,
4:38
I'm really anticipating hoping for a second season because it's just like where and Or
4:44
has become a really ill prequel show where it's leading right into Rogue one,
4:48
but we really got to see the evolution of casteing and Or as a character.
4:53
At the same time, yep I'm like this, if you gave us
4:56
four or five seasons maybe and did some time jumps, you could lead this
5:01
right into even the prequels, you know, you could lead this right up
5:05
into where we see Senator Palpatine forming, you know, about to do his
5:13
plan to end the Republic, and that would be like, you know,
5:18
if they pull that off. Yeah, and it's i know, like we
5:23
were joking around a lot about it last week, but there are still there
5:27
are a lot of pallets with Game of Thrones, this particularly this season,
5:30
the Game of House of Dragons. When we're talking about how the in that
5:33
universe, the small folk, well, in this universe, you know,
5:36
just how regular people get caught up in the fray of what people grasping for
5:41
power all of the they end up being the cannon Father or they end up
5:46
being the colladal damage of warring you know, warring factions, if you will.
5:50
In this case, we're talking about the Jedi, and then as we
5:53
go down the line, then the Sith and then you mentioned Palpatine and all
5:56
these other people, Like how this this this continues to be this this mythic
6:00
battle really for power at the end of the day, right for power and
6:02
control and it and it's moving. It's moving, and in these stories,
6:09
these newer Star Wars stories, is moving it away from the very simplistic view
6:15
of good and evil and black and white. This is give you that there
6:18
are so many shades of gray and there's questionable things happening. You could you
6:23
can sit here and argue, say, well, obviously the Sith is questionable,
6:26
but also questionable and maybe a positive way too, Like maybe the stuff
6:30
that they doing has some some people are doing has some virtue to it.
6:32
Who knows, right, same way, we we've realized over years that some
6:36
of the shit the Jedi say they're doing, from a virtual standpoint, it's
6:40
not so virtuous, right. So I do appreciate what they're trying to Again,
6:45
I just said the word elevate. I do appreciate that they're trying to
6:47
add another layer of complexity to Star Wars stories. It's good. I mean,
6:55
like I said, they've been done this in animation. They definitely have
7:00
done this on another level in and Or. And I really feel like Alcolite
7:04
and Acolyte in the end of it all is really you know, earning that
7:09
same respect. I'm so surprised, bro, Like I'm strung. They did
7:14
it. Jo shout out to Amandla shout out to Amanla and obviously for me,
7:20
you said it last week. Manager Sento carries this damn show, carries
7:26
it. Kymer Slash the Stranger, he carries this damn show and that's insane.
7:31
And then to see now it's going to be this, this team up
7:34
with Kimer and may bro Oh and salutes to Joel, our fabulous intern,
7:42
who made the very pointed observation that going forward we are now going to have
7:46
Moesia and Q. When Joe said that, I said, oh my god.
7:54
Side note, we got to stop calling Joel the intern at this point,
7:57
We're gonna have to give well, Joe keeps using that title, so
8:00
I'm king use of that type of Joel is a member of the for All
8:03
Nerds team. Yes, family, he's you know, the eternal family.
8:09
Very so Solusio and also love to Luna and everyone who helps to support four
8:16
All Nerds. But yeah, man, like this, I am really looking
8:20
forward to what's happening. And this episode set the stage in a lot of
8:24
different ways just in terms of how good this can be. And I really
8:26
do hope that from this point they go up, like I really hope they
8:31
don't backslide, and then we you know, if there is a season two
8:33
and we get a whole like unnecessary build up all over again, like just
8:37
give me the goods, just be good in the beginning, please. Yeah.
8:45
Yeah, no, I definitely agree with that assessment because overall, you
8:48
know, this season, like we said, did not have us in the
8:52
first half, but by the end, it flipped me and you know,
8:56
just like how the character's trying to flip how may and Osha. We didn't
9:01
see the you know, merging that we will eventually see. We know Moyesha
9:05
is coming. No fusion, no fusion, hid no fusion. But they
9:09
definitely flip sides in this whole you know, one million percent. They did
9:16
they they did the Yin Yang situation. And also we we they confirmed what
9:22
we have been saying was that they're not twins. They're technically the same person.
9:26
They're they're they're two pieces of one entity, even though they have they
9:33
have kind of disparate personalities allegedly that there because of what we learned about the
9:37
Midichlorians and their DNA and all this other stuff. They're one person. So
9:41
that's just don't really have different personalities or or is it more a circumstance of
9:46
how they were raised. Well, now I think you see the shift because
9:50
it's like an eclipse when those two bodies, you know that the sun and
9:54
the moon, and that's also another euphemism that they were trying to get across,
9:58
like when the sun move moon crossed over, and you see that a
10:01
bit of the I wanna say personality, but a bit of the contrast of
10:05
what happens with the moon and the sun they flip, right, you said
10:09
it like and if you if you like, let's be real, like we
10:13
were talking about May was the good son, how she was acting and everything.
10:16
Everyone's evil, everyone's crazy, right, versus Osha was very like kind
10:20
of like flighty, like, oh well the chitter are so good? Uh,
10:24
you know. And now that with this force, with this forced mind
10:28
wipe, which you know, we'll talk about if that was even necessary.
10:31
With this force mind wipe, now you have this innocent May situation and now
10:35
Osha, who's going full speed, I'm gonna be an acolyte. So I
10:39
would say they do have differing personality. Yeah, you could say it's for
10:43
the circumstances but that's how personalities are created, right, your circumstance, how
10:46
you're born, you know, where you get who who right, who nurtures
10:48
and who nurtures you? Shit like that. So and and the tiffting personality
10:54
that doesn't necessarily could also excuse me, it could also mean that, you
10:56
know how as a person you have varying sides of yourself, right depending on
11:01
the day, depending on what the folk's going on. So like this this
11:05
is these are just all of the different emotional states, the yin and the
11:07
yang, the comedy versus tragedy, mass like like back there, all of
11:11
this. Yeah, because that's how I said, I would say that they
11:16
don't really have that much different personalities. To me, I think they both
11:22
well initially they wanted different things, and like they said in this episode,
11:26
you know, she got what she wanted. You know, now she gets
11:28
to be you know, an acolyte and not be a witch and you know,
11:31
go on adventures off in space or whatever. But I don't know,
11:37
they both kind of wanted that in a way, like you know, you're
11:41
right, I mean, I don't know. But see that's the thing I
11:43
don't think, Oh excuse me, may I don't think May always wanted to
11:46
be an act like right, like like OSHA's thing was about being a Jedi,
11:50
and in a way she got her wish, just not in the way
11:52
you would think, right, like you still get to wield the lightsaber,
11:54
just in a different way. So whereas oh, you know, like like
12:01
like like Osha wanted that situation in some way, shape and form, right,
12:09
May wanted to just be with her be a witch. May wanted to
12:13
be a witch and then and then and stay with her sister. That's all
12:16
the fuck. She wanted this whole time to just be with her sister and
12:18
they never get separated and stuff like that. May, because of circumstances,
12:22
was like now I gotta go death wish on everybody, right, Like there's
12:28
there's no you know what I mean. She if that never happened, what
12:31
was May finna do? May? It wasn't about to leave Brendock like May.
12:33
May was cool. May was happy with what she was. M That's
12:39
why I was just like, I mean, but to your point, like
12:41
they're just two signs of the same coin. I just they two sides of
12:46
the same coin, man, Like, yeah, that their personalities are not
12:48
quite different, because you know, when someone gets mad, your personality changes
12:52
a little bit. Right when you get sad or when you get real happyer
12:54
personally change a little bit. So it's just there, they're extremes of potentially
12:58
the same person thing being whatever the hell they are, because we still don't
13:05
really know what they are, still confused there, and it's like, I
13:11
don't know who's gonna explain it unless Chral, you know, is still alive
13:16
somewhere. I'm saying Chorrel's alive because and also I'm gonna say that because that's
13:20
another out that they have for season two that they could reintroduce her, because
13:24
what do we say, no body, no death. Yes, and it's
13:28
plausible that when she went all all Mortal Kombat smoke that perhaps she was in
13:35
the body of kill Knaka you call it kill Knaka, but also maybe not.
13:41
We don't see. We don't see Quarrel die with all the other witches.
13:43
That's what we were saying, like anything. So that's one character that
13:48
that could stay. There's a bunch of other castters that can stay. The
13:52
Ninjas that is dead is Master Soultring, my homegirl from the Matrix, And
14:05
who's the other one? I say, Knack because I put together Knack and
14:13
and Anakin Jr. Don't don't tell me that man Torbin looked like Anakin's cousin.
14:20
Just they got scarred faces. No, they look alike. You see
14:24
them with the with the with the with the boy. They both got the
14:28
boy bend hand and that little stupid nigga boy be here. No. But
14:33
this was giving, and maybe because it's because he was so annoying, it
14:37
was giving. It was giving, not not not little boy Anakin, but
14:41
yeah, growl man, yeah, yeah, yeah, almost grown man.
14:46
He was out there slaughter children here. Yeah, I mean you're pretty grown
14:52
if you up there killing younglings. I mean niggas. You know, niggas
14:58
die every day. Oh and nothing in our other phase. You know Jackie
15:03
Jackie gone, Oh Jackie gone, boy Jackie going, uh you know,
15:09
kill Manga's brother. You're gone, oh Jackie No, black kid, you
15:16
just been episodes. I can't that Like the Bob what Mama say, Mausa
15:22
gone? The witches is going, so who like why not? Why not?
15:28
That's a trump card. You can use that in a lot of different
15:30
ways. And the Cral is the only one who can explain certain ship in
15:35
this episode, we see, uh the stranger Camire's eyes blackout when he tries
15:41
to take the helmet off of Shorty, just like you know the eyes blacked
15:46
out when the witches use their power against and Torpen's eyes black and when he
15:50
fell to his knees being so, I do not want to talk to you
15:54
about that, about what that was? That does that mean like may basically
15:58
use that same power that to say I have where she like basically pulled into
16:03
into chrimeer psyche or consciousness. That's what it looked like. He was in
16:07
that same weird like Lord of the Rings gray world. Yeah, okay,
16:12
And I wanted to make sure that you know, I feel like he's in
16:15
the same what's it, the One Ring world? You know when you put
16:19
on the One Ring and the race are coming for you, right, he
16:22
was in that world and that was that was it was on the upside down,
16:26
yeah, because he's in the upside down. But in the upside down
16:29
his eyes were regular. But in the real world, that's what happened,
16:32
because the black guys make you go into the upside down, correct, that's
16:34
what happened. To remember the One Ring world. I like One Ring.
16:38
I'm that is straight red. That ship was straight gray like the One Ring.
16:42
So yeah, so I guess you know, it's like the Witches and
16:48
how ocean and may are created is so undefined so far that it's like,
16:53
sure, you know what, I just don't know. Fine, I hate
16:59
that, and I'm not a stickler for rules when it comes to writing,
17:03
you know, I've definitely never been a fan of that. I think characters
17:06
who have mystical powers should just have mystical powers, you know, I mean,
17:10
like whatever you need, you know, it works out fine as long
17:12
as it's a cool story, and you know there's some sort of like we
17:15
do have, like we've seen this happen before, you know what I mean.
17:19
We know that the Black Eyes sends you into the one Wing world,
17:23
we don't, and we know that she's the daughter of one of these women,
17:27
of two of these women at that, So yeah, it's she should
17:30
have some lineage and all that to them, and they keeps saying they need
17:34
both of them to prove it. How are you going to prove that there's
17:37
a verse. That's why he kept saying that I need both of them to
17:41
prove that this thing is this? I'm like, what are you talking like
17:42
all right, now what now show their their their medical records on screen,
17:48
like what is what is the plan? And now we have to talk about
17:51
that too, because there's there's something like the writing is definitely I don't know,
17:56
because souls motivations throughout this episode. I guess maybe that's just desperation and
18:03
thing at one point, so is about the you know, push the red
18:06
button on Shorty, Like when they're flying through the asteroid field, Soul flips
18:10
open the thing and it's ready to you know, do you know, I
18:14
guess in some type of proton torpedo her way, Like he was ready to
18:18
doune her off one hundred percent and he's a maniac And I was like,
18:22
wait, wha wait, wasn't didn't you need her? But now you're gonna
18:26
vaporize her? Like what do you think he could recover something from this?
18:32
I would think somebody that you're chasing is somebody that you was trying to recover,
18:36
because that's an asset. Like he got so blood lusty. It was
18:41
so strange. But I won't say blood lusty because he was, you know,
18:45
he paused, he was like the fact that he thought about it,
18:49
then you are chasing you, trying to get somebody to get come back because
18:53
you need them for one reason or another, and you're just like, you
18:56
know what, let me flip the switch on him, Like whoa why is
18:59
that even entering your mind is an option? I was like, where's the
19:03
something that did not feel like they're tried to be because no films that was
19:11
the target lock star box, you're dead type. Okay, that was not
19:17
no nothing else listen. And that that goes into what I'm about to say
19:22
now, which is one thing I feel like this show will never leave behind
19:26
is this level of goofiness. Like they're still and I'm glad that they toned
19:32
it down, but I think this is the show's DNS what you got?
19:37
Okay, I think like I said, I think they've toned it down to
19:40
how it was just levels of ridiculousness in the beginning of the first half of
19:42
the season. But I feel like this show going forward, especially if it's
19:45
Leslian Friends, It's going to continue to have this this this, this this
19:49
tinge of let's just throw some goofy shit in there just for good fucking Mesic
19:53
Bazil being one of them another one when may this is what I wanted to
20:06
talk about. When May was running away from Soul and hit that she hit
20:12
the elevator in the in the thing and she said, see you in Hell
20:17
Jedi, I hit the fucking roots. I missed that. I she says
20:22
like it was on some die hard type eighties movie, and I was just
20:29
like, why would they have her saying that because she said it with like
20:33
a straight face, like she was on SNL See You a Hell Jedi the
20:37
but to go in to escape Pod. I was just like, well,
20:40
that's also a man, but with the straight face saying that. Yeah.
20:45
I don't know, maybe it was the way she delivered it, but I
20:45
felt like it was intentional because the man was also a smart actress as well,
20:49
So I don't know like they knew that shit was goofy and I feel
20:53
like this show will never leave that. See, that's not even what I
20:56
wanted to talk about. I want to talk about when and May and Osha
21:00
are fighting and she says to the Joid to Pip, like help me.
21:07
The nigga sprays her, not undigm evil. Now, Oh I forgot that.
21:17
You're right, Remember he got the red eyes and you know the only
21:22
reason I know for a fact we are both riders. The only reason they
21:26
turned Pip's eyes red so you can see the difference of when he was with
21:29
May versus when he's with Ocean. I forgot that Nigga had slipped. I
21:36
don't know, you like that man flipped like a pancake. Okay, choos
21:45
you But that's the same Pip that Pipp did the same thing to Osha that
21:52
he did to May before May refreshed his his you know, rebooted him to
21:57
the harve reset he like squirted water, eghes or whatever. I know,
22:02
that's just hilarious now, I'm really is it because he's smaller, is that
22:12
they're getting away with this to the R two D two or C three P
22:15
any point could have just been flipped on the repels. What happened will almost
22:21
happened before. But one of these this happens all the time of the bots,
22:23
like one the earlier Mandalorian episodes where that originally that bot that wanted to
22:30
like basically kill them all they got he got reprogrammed all the time. See,
22:34
but that's more recent. I never see they never talked about flipping C
22:37
three p O or R three DT. But but you know what gets blown
22:41
apart and doesn't get flipped. Well, my thing is, I think that's
22:45
logic, right, Like it's a programmable being. You should be able to
22:49
program in any way one or the other. Right, Like if I capture
22:52
you of independent thought when you get a reboot to the ass, No you
23:00
can't, I guess so, no you can't. I just pressure rebel.
23:03
But what you're gonna do now be evil red eyes? And oh how did
23:12
he know to be evil? Or is it just be evil? It's it's
23:15
not even with whatever my owner wants. Yeah, you know what I'm saying.
23:21
And I see my owner going through with this other bitch, I'm like,
23:25
oh no, I'm helping out my owner. I'd be so tight if
23:34
they just slip C three p O R two D two like that, it's
23:37
beastly because in the comics there's an evil C three p O and an evil
23:42
R two D two and they are two of the most like terrifying characters.
23:48
So that means you have seen it. It wasn't in film, but you
23:49
have seen it. But they weren't flip No, they weren't flipp thesing two
23:52
different niggas like that. They're just they're the same droid shape, you know,
23:56
but they're like they're both black and they're you know, two different and
24:00
they are like horrifying monsters. It's the same premise though of course the blatform,
24:06
your favorite, your favorite droid turned on the Sith side. But it
24:10
is what it is. But no, I I think and also you know,
24:11
as I'm thinking about it, yes, all the Star Wars films try
24:15
to have some comedy, and then yes, it is what it is,
24:18
especially when it comes and droids. But I just mean, even the people
24:21
themselves were just saying so to this, to the end, to the very
24:25
last season finale, they saying the most goofy ist stuff. A lot of
24:29
that is callbacks, like I'm sure somebody has said that before because somebody and
24:33
you want to talk goofy. Harrison Ford Han solo in this it's one of
24:37
my favorite lines in all of cinema, not the Star Wars, but in
24:41
the Empire strikes Back. When he's about to go out and look for Luke
24:45
out who's freezing to death out in the hawk Iceland. He's like, I'll
24:51
go out there, you know, I'll find them, and some rando rebel
24:53
who's there in the base of them is like, then you know you'll freeze
24:57
Steff looking for him and turns some. He says, then I'll see you
25:00
in hell. It's what I'm trying to look out for. You fail and
25:06
you just told me so upset, I'll see you in hell. There is
25:11
something where a clone there is something on Star Wars where a clone says to
25:17
character see you in hell, Jedi. It's been said, and I knew
25:21
it had to have been said before, but someone has said it. Han
25:23
Solo has said it. Then I'll see you in hell. You know you
25:26
just yeah, No, that's the one, and I'll see you in hell.
25:29
That's the Oh my god, because this nigga's very trying to look out
25:32
for this nigga and he tells them I'll see you in hell. Yeah.
25:34
So it's it's callbacks and stuff, and it's it's still funny. Make it
25:38
worse. That dude probably gets blown up and in that scene, so it's
25:41
like, you know that dude is really in hell while Sol is chilling and
25:45
we see what happens to Soul. So now I have a question for you,
25:51
since this is high Republican, it's just so and he got killed without
25:56
a weapon. It was all poetic, right, I have a qulture for
25:59
you. Since this is so far back in the time and this is this
26:00
is high Republic time. Was May the first force user to do a force
26:06
choke nah, because I wasn't come here choking niggas before that. Then come
26:10
here, come with the choke first. I don't know, I don't remember.
26:15
I thought he did. I think he did. Come. I guess
26:17
maybe it's such a dramatic and prominent way. It was more dramatic because it
26:22
was her doing it, and because you don't see her hand doing it at
26:26
first, the nigga that falls to the ground where you're wondering, who is
26:29
force choking this nigga, and then her hand raises up and you're like,
26:33
oh no, I was laughing. I said, that's what you get,
26:37
nigga. You need to be paying for your crimes. Yeah, I mean,
26:42
it's time. And it was a long extended choke out too, like
26:48
they let you linger on Soul's face as he is getting choked out. That
26:52
shit was dark. That was like almost jos free levels of choking. And
26:55
that's you know what, That's okay Because I had said, you know,
26:56
I hope this show and it and the way it did. I hope it
27:00
doesn't end on a good note for who doesn't need it, and on a
27:03
good note for it. You understand, we said that, Yeah, like
27:07
you got to come to terms, my guy, right, you know you
27:10
got to come have come to Jesus moment and and unfortunately Jesus is gonna send
27:14
you down. I don't know what to tell you, like I see you
27:15
in hell, Jedi. You know what I'm saying. And I do like
27:19
appreciate that. You know, when in the beginning with the foreshadowing, when
27:23
may excuse me, when Osha said that she saw a vision when she was
27:26
at the helmet on she saw the vision, she thought she saw her sister
27:30
doing the dirt and it was really her. But in the reality she did
27:34
see her sister because they're all the same person. There you go, it's
27:38
a lot of shit. And you know, like I said, it was
27:41
quite poetic because you know, he was looking for somebody to kill the last
27:44
Jedi without a weapon, and she murdered that nigga with aut a weapon and
27:47
it was like sold American over there. Yes, I'll buy that for a
27:51
dollar. Ben. That's my act. Ben. When when when Kaimer and
28:02
Osha was leaving the little Philippine planet. Who was that that came out the
28:10
little cave? He looked like one of the senators that was on the the
28:15
VR with with Venestra when with Gamore when he was remember when like episode was
28:22
that the same guy? Was that the same senator? Uh, give me
28:26
one second, it's not the same senator. That's not the same center Okay,
28:30
I remember remember there was like one of those alien looking type senators and
28:33
he was just like he was trying to say, Oh, it's no big
28:36
deal. Somebody's getting up at the in the council, which I think he
28:38
was referring to the black Man. But I thought it was the same guy.
28:41
And I do know that the internet is saying that that could be Darth
28:45
to play yes, yes, and you got to talk about that, because
28:48
I don't know shit about that. I not. The one thing I'm trying
28:56
to find out is if he is that same uh race of aliens. Dark
29:00
Plagas is a mun and uh they ran the banking but that was the Trade
29:07
Federation, So I don't think the they're the same actual race, but I
29:12
could be wrong there. Oh no, they do look different. Yeah,
29:15
they do look different. The muns do look different. Well, this is
29:18
funny because I'm actually on like one of those fandom wikies yep, and they
29:22
use the image that we saw in the show of a man's like peering in
29:27
the cave. They use that image and say that that's him. Oh yeah,
29:30
that's yeah, No, okay. As far as who he is,
29:34
that most people are assuming and due to the timeline everything, his look and
29:40
him looking like a month which Plagas in the legends, is that this is
29:45
dark Plagias. Now Plagas dark Plagias. I think that's Plageas. You could
29:49
be wrong, whatever, pla yeah, dark Platte. The dark play dark
29:55
play out here is play play is a day dark play Play is out here.
30:03
He is the basically, he is the master who trains Palpatine, Palpatine,
30:10
Palpatine Palpatine, So he is you know, that's his Alkali, so
30:15
he's like to do before him. And he's mentioned even in Revenge of the
30:18
Sith when Palpatine talks the Alkali Anakin and says, have you ever heard the
30:25
story of Darth Plagi as the Wise? And he is the one who has
30:30
power over life and death, which is like something that that's what I was
30:33
talking about before with the whole witches and then being made to create life.
30:38
It's like what And that's also what a fan theory is the Plagueist created Anakin
30:47
because we don't see we still don't know how Anakin exactly was created. You
30:52
know, it's like his mother was give birth because of the force, so
30:56
we still haven't seen exactly what it is. So that's a fan theory that
31:00
Plagas is the one who created Anakin. And so now this is the first
31:03
time that we're actually seeing him in the like Star Wars universe. He's always
31:08
been in the extended universe. There's a whole novel about him, you know
31:12
there, He's been in comics all kinds of things, but we've never seen
31:15
him in the what is now Cannon Star Wars universe, and so that seems
31:21
to be him. Now My question is what the fuck is this Nigga doing
31:25
for like the whole series, Like when when is that mayor Ocean which one
31:32
is with them at that point, is with Kymer Slash this year? Okay,
31:36
when Ocean tried me? Are about the kiss? Is he sitting back
31:38
there with some popcorn like, now, kids, like, where's this nigga
31:47
being? You know what I mean? And my man making him soup too
31:48
and leaving it out for him, like what what is their relationship? Another
31:55
big hint that this is Plagas is that they're in of Cortosi's mind. That's
32:00
what you know, That's what the helmet's made from, and so that's what
32:04
it is. And that's also a reference that Plagas owned a Cortosi's mind.
32:08
So yeah, it seems to be him what he's been doing this whole season.
32:15
I don't know why the stranger wants the power of two when he already
32:21
has the power of two if that is his master, which I assume has
32:23
to be his master. Also, what's the relationship between We still don't know
32:30
exactly between Kamir and Jedi Gomorra Venestra, because Vanestra knows this nigga since him
32:37
as soon as she came to the planet, says, you here still alive.
32:40
You know she's the one with the whip. Well we know enough because
32:44
we know Kmi was Gomor's padawan at some point because she literally said that was
32:49
one of my pupils because may when may you know, mind wipe May comes
32:53
to her and she was like, who is this? She said, I'm
32:55
looking for this guy and she says, who is he? She says she
32:59
Gomore says, that used to be one of my pupils. So I'm like,
33:01
okay, that was one of her paddle ones that she fucking whipped for
33:05
something. I don't think so, I think that's you know, a red
33:07
herring. Yeah, I don't think she was the one whip him. I
33:10
think her having a whip and him having whipped stars is just not you know,
33:15
a bag of incidence for him. I guess you sure? Yeah,
33:22
I mean, well, okay Again, at the same time, I could
33:25
be wrong there, because this shows this show is the one. Yeah,
33:30
this and this show had Like before I would say, oh, the Jedi
33:34
don't do ship like that, but this show has shown you that there is
33:37
a lot of gray hairy as to what the Jedi or what a Sith would
33:42
do, Like why would she say, oh you're why are you so alive?
33:45
Like did that girl whipped him into fucking churn butter? And I was
33:50
ahead of that. She tried to dump that nigga in late Minnesota or something.
33:54
Yes, So I don't know and then like also with Vanessa, as
34:00
I said earlier about just how like corruption goes for and it could be seen
34:06
as good or bad, you know, depending on who's it. For the
34:09
fact that Gomora is being secretive and also continuing the lies, right, like
34:15
when she talks to the Council and tells them the story of what happened,
34:17
she tells them once again Hilaius they started to fight, she tells them generally
34:23
the truth. And then at the end, to protect May, she's like,
34:28
oh, yeah, that Nigga sold did everything. He killed all the
34:31
Jedi at the end, you know, he killed Trinity and the Matrix and
34:36
all the other stuff. And I was like, I mean she existence of
34:38
Khmire she has and she has existants of Maya's well maybe not the existence of
34:43
May, but they make it seem like May got nothing is I don't even
34:45
like obviously they know May is there, but they she make it like May
34:49
got nothing to do with it. Yeah, And because of that, that
34:52
also protects the canon that people were worried about, because the Council still don't
34:57
know that they're sith out there, right And and this is actually good from
35:00
a writer's perspective because because this is taking this is adding depth to what could
35:07
you know, what was originally just maybe a simplify view of this world.
35:10
Then you can start recconning things and and then you talk like to your point,
35:14
you can start maintaining cannon but also being able to tell a story that's
35:19
related to it without upsetting what the you know, what the not the prime
35:22
director but what do they call it in Marvel? What the prime timeline is?
35:28
Right? Like, yeah, this is the time, but there aren't
35:30
some branches the sacred timeline. There's the secret time, but then there's some
35:32
branches that y'all don't know about. That shit happen, but it got covered
35:37
up. M Yeah. So that's the way that you can you can fulfill
35:40
both both masters in terms of the people like us are like give me something
35:45
fucking new, and then the people who are constantly crying about why are you
35:50
changing the story and this and that, like, well, you know,
35:52
the story is technically still the same, but there were things that were happening,
35:54
just like when we saw with Rogue one, there were things happening that
35:59
we had no idea it was happening, and there was people getting killed and
36:02
stuff, you know, going on, just like in real life there'd be
36:05
black ops mission missions going on, right the funck now that you have no
36:07
idea, but it maintained something right, yeah, so same thing, same
36:13
thing. No, And it's like I said, like, we didn't think
36:15
this was that well done, but now I'm really enjoying it. And I
36:20
really really am enjoying, like I say, the gray areas that they've been
36:23
showing with the Jedi because it really works out so much better. It's enriching
36:30
what we see in Clone Wars and all that now because it's like they've been
36:34
fucking up, you know, the Senate has dude in the Senate has been
36:37
like, yo, y'all need to turn on investigation. One day one of
36:39
y'all could while out and that black man, thank you. I'm glad it
36:44
was a black man pulling up like Eli Pope and he he read, come
36:49
on that side that side eye. When that nigga walked out the room,
36:53
and that nigga did it like a black father. Nigga said, made a
36:59
force be with you. He said, he came in in like the All
37:01
State guy. He said. Jedi are on a check power. They pose
37:07
as a religion. They're a delusional cult. They project image of goodness and
37:09
restraint, but y'all, Nigga's gonna snap any second. And then he said
37:14
the line he says, when you're looking up the heroes, you do not
37:17
have to face what's right in front of you. And I said, damn
37:22
it, the black man with the wisdom. I appreciated that. He basically
37:25
said, you'll be hearing from my attorney and dipped out. And that's a
37:30
Martian Manhunter right from that's Martian Man Hunter yep from the Flash Universe series.
37:36
Yes, fantastic to see him again. He looks great and like I said,
37:39
that side that Nigga gave him when he slid out a frame was fucking
37:44
oh my god. I need that gift because that is just it was like
37:47
he basically did her like a Kendrick, like I do not like you,
37:52
and here are the reasons why I do not like nor trust you, and
37:55
just the like oh good look, no, no, no, wait,
37:59
what is that? Y'all say you have their own line against them? Tell
38:04
me that's my Kendrick. Tell me that's come on. Yeah, indeed,
38:12
study your ship and then use it against you. Ben. Let's talk about
38:16
the biggest elephant in the room, which is actually not an elephant. It's
38:19
the most even the elephants, the most beautiful elephant I've ever seen in my
38:22
goddamn wife. The fighting, the fight scenes. Look, I know there's
38:30
to be video breakdowns in frame by frame, and I don't want to hear
38:35
that ship because this ship was fantastic. It was fantastic of so many levels.
38:39
It shows you in motion. That's how I talked about it. It's
38:43
like these characters have a reason to not fuck with each other. You know,
38:47
it's not just two guys slashing each other with swords or whatever. They
38:51
have history, they have, you know, all this even I mean,
38:53
like I said about managers, you know, carrying ship. When that nigga
38:57
walks up on to Soul and said, we make a great team. Like
39:01
the sarcasm in this nigga's voice through the helmet, like you don't even see
39:07
his face and he just delivers that line so well. Acting the action,
39:13
like the way Soul fights compared to way many fights is so ill because Soul
39:19
is a Jedi, so everything is you know, these forms where it's like
39:22
a samurai and there's movements and its structure and everything is you know, with
39:28
purpose, while Camire is just out here fighting with rage, with control.
39:35
It was it was. It was a real life Soul caliber match. It
39:37
was like you said, it was a Samurai versus Voldo where it's just like
39:40
if you ever played volo everywhere do anything, yeah, slipping, sliding,
39:49
slid, dipping and dodging dip like And when I say that, with the
39:53
claws on that ass, that was one of the hardest Jedi fights I have
39:58
ever seen. Yeah. Hard. It was straight up crouching tiger head and
40:01
Dragon meets the like anime samurai, like that ending move when Soul clipped the
40:10
Kaimer's saber, like that whole you know how the samurai do that where they
40:15
do that one dash rush move and they cross over and they don't move for
40:20
a few seconds. And at first I was like, oh no, he
40:22
killed him, but because he didn't move, but it was just the saber,
40:24
and I was all right, goog cool cool. But that was hard.
40:29
Hard, even Souls, I mean, Cameer is revealed, you know
40:32
when he pulls the saber apart to show you how he's got the short saber
40:37
and the long saber and that fighting style. Oh my God, and I
40:40
love seeing I love I love. That's why I love when characters have very
40:45
unique weapons and you can see them employing that in their fighting style, using
40:50
it like we didn't just see it. What happened once when he when he
40:52
did the the the murder on all the Jedi, like you see it in
40:55
full force, him using it multiple times. And then even when he's like
41:00
he's trying different ways to get it around, you understand, like you said,
41:01
he's taking the breaking the pieces apart, throwing them like fucking Captain Boomerang,
41:07
you know, trying to it was, it was, It was amazing.
41:09
Anyone who says that fight wasn't hard is lying. It's a hater and
41:15
it's cat That shit went hard. Even the like the beginning when they're in
41:19
the little tunnel and they both dragged their lightsabers through the side of the wall
41:23
and you see them, you know, the cameras painting along with them and
41:27
the lightsabers cutting through, and then their back of the window where you can
41:30
see them again. It's like, come on, man, and then one
41:32
of go ahead, go ahead. Oh. One of my favorite frames in
41:37
that fight when they was doing the whole crossover with the weapons and it was
41:42
pushing against each other back and forth, and then the sparks were jumping off
41:45
of Kaimer's helmet. I mean actually, and to your point earlier, it
41:49
looked good. It looked good. The effects look good, like they took
41:52
their time here. Yeah. Now I rewatched that little sequence that you were
41:58
just talking about over and over again. There so ill how to swords that
42:00
like on basically the wrong side of each other and what it's a traditional sword
42:06
cross, but traditionally you know, you're gonna have your sword and you're both
42:08
to be pushing it against each other, but they're basically pulling at each other
42:13
instead of pushing at each other. And that shit was so fire even to
42:17
kick. When Camire kicks Soul out of the tower, I mean out of
42:22
the bridge and they're you know, goes in the slow motion. Yeah,
42:27
and then when you talk about like the rage that Kymer has, there's this
42:32
one right before he cuts after you know, Soul gets some distance between the
42:36
two of them, and Caymer comes running back and Soul you know, just
42:39
swinging his sword, screaming, and it's like that's that you know, full
42:44
on sith, out of control rage. And then it was a quick cut
42:47
and then we came back to them. But you know that was just yeah.
42:50
I audibly yelled, oh ship while they was fighting, I was like,
42:53
the girls is fighting for real? Like I just it was. It
42:57
was one of the best fights I've ever seen. For I was like worried
43:00
because I love both of these characters at this point, and I didn't know
43:04
who was to come out of this joint? Didn't you say that before?
43:06
A few episodes back? He was like, it's one thing when they're fighting
43:08
you don't care about Yes, no, now that's why it's like, you
43:14
know, there's a great video. I think it's Red Letter Media. They're
43:16
pretty famous for their Breakdown or the prequels, and in it they explained why
43:22
it didn't work as well. Even though the Darth Maul versus Quigan and and
43:27
it can fight, it is technically one of the illest, you know,
43:30
lightsaber fights we've ever seen. It still doesn't compare to Obi Wan and Darth
43:36
Vader, who are just basically two old niggas in costumes shuffling at each other.
43:40
But it doesn't compare to when Darth Vader cuts this nigga Obi Wan down
43:45
in front of you and you've been watching this nigga the old fucking movie,
43:47
and this nigga gets cut down in front of him, and Luke cries out
43:51
screaming like you know, it's all the emotion. It's so much emotion and
43:54
passion, and you're really like you're into it, you care about the outcome
44:00
about okay, well whoa who? And also it's one of those fights where
44:04
it's not like guaranteed that somebody's gonna win. It's just like, well,
44:07
what the fuck? Once again, what's about to happen? What's about to
44:09
happen? And then like, even though we wanted Soul to see justice,
44:14
you don't want to see him get cut down in the middle of this shit
44:15
or you know, his head chopped off or get the three poked like Jackie
44:20
did. Like, yeah, you don't want that for Soul. And then
44:24
you get worse for Soul. You get to watch this nigga gains the right
44:28
person, the right person ended up killing him. I mean, what was
44:31
it though? You know, like Mosha is the same person. No,
44:36
no, I'm not saying that either, but I'm just saying still, like
44:38
did either of them really? You know? You know, I get it
44:43
now, I get it. No, I get it, but you know
44:45
it's leading her down the dark path, That's what I'm saying. It's like,
44:49
yeah, but you know, Oshan met that beautiful ass man. It
44:52
was a wrap for her. Now you get to live your life forever with
44:58
guy there. Yeah, yes, Osha. She was like, mind wipe
45:02
this bitch. That seems like a good outcome to me. Right, that
45:07
seems like a good outcome to me. She's like, I don't need no
45:09
competition for this nigga, Like make this woman forget not that being the reason,
45:17
then this is all mine. Now what did you How did you feel
45:22
about that? Mind white though? Did you see it? Feel it was
45:23
necessary? I didn't know. I was like, why don't you just did?
45:28
Like I say, it was more like she didn't want no competition.
45:30
He was, well, May's May's explanation or her thing with her fear.
45:35
She was like, well, you know they're gonna because remember that the whole
45:38
question right there? Why didn't you just did on the ship with us,
45:44
Like why do we need to leave you behind you? We can take you
45:51
somewhere else if you don't want to spend I only think because didn't kymye basically
45:54
say he don't want May, like he was like May was the wrong one,
45:57
Like he kept and you noticed Kye kept saying this Overnoga. He was
46:00
like, that was the wrong twin, that was the wrong girl. Like
46:02
you know he was I wasn't you know I realized. Basically Comer and Oshan
46:07
want no interference on their love. Yeah, you're right. So they're like,
46:13
mynd wife you and leave you behind because they could have dropped her off
46:16
somewhere else they could have done. She couldn't with that. But they were
46:21
like, this is an A and B conversation. You need to SEEOA out
46:24
Like now that you mentioned it, this ain't challenge this baby? Did you
46:30
mention it? Child niggas? But yo, okay, I guess you're right.
46:37
I guess you're right. Finegas you saw that. Yeah, listen,
46:49
one of the cool shit happened, oh I love during a fight, well
46:52
the end right before when Osha was going crazy when she grabbed the saber and
46:57
it turned red like it went from blue. Was like, yeah, it
47:02
was another pit. It was like, well, you know, I don't
47:07
know if you realized, but you know what I mean is that how the
47:10
crystals work like they and googled because I remember this thing is the crystals did
47:17
not used to work like that. And then I remember I think I was
47:21
on Reddit one day and somebody was from playing like, yo, what the
47:23
fuck they made sip where you know the bleed normal crystals reading out are so
47:28
corny, and even reading I was like, yeah, that that's how corny,
47:30
and watching it, I was like, it's kind of corny, but
47:34
then it's also hilariously cool because it's just like the Sabers had enough for your
47:39
ship, like much better on you dog. No, No, no,
47:46
you're you're You're definitely the bad son here, like I got you because straight
47:52
up, because no, because she had no when she's about to kiss.
47:57
No, she had his saber at that point, so it was it was
48:00
it was she had did pick up on May at some points picked up Jedi
48:07
sabers. They picked up Soul saber. I thought, did she pick up
48:10
even h because so wait, let me think about it. When Kimier and
48:16
so were fighting, Sol did the Samurai rush and fucked up Kimier's saber,
48:23
and Kimier basically dropped through the saber and dropped into the ground. Right,
48:27
Yeah, she picks up soul saber so oh does pick up soaah I'm talking
48:30
about But before this episode, May at some points has had sabers in her
48:36
hand and they did not turn her up. That's what I mean. She
48:39
was not like she was not the good son. She was trying to be
48:45
the good son, but the good son was always Osha Ocean wanting to leave
48:51
from the jump is what set this whole shit off. And it's also saying
48:53
that Jedi are kind of evil, you know what I mean. It's like
48:57
Osha wanted to be a Jedi is like, you know, like we said,
49:00
you didn't want to be a witch. You had all this shit going
49:02
for you. You were the good son May, it's just trying to make
49:06
up for your mistakes. Oh yeah, Oshan's really the good son. And
49:13
that's what the Saber sens. Yeah ah, you're right, b that's why,
49:19
you know. And she becomes acolyte because she always wanted this. This
49:22
is what she wanted. And it's like and even Yoda, I think Warren's
49:27
you know, luke about that, or Obi Wan Warren's luke about that,
49:30
Like you're not supposed to be out there looking for adventure and shit, that's
49:32
not what Jedi are about, you know, cause that's like Luke. Luke's
49:36
always like thinking of the future, thinking, oh I wish I wasn't here,
49:38
and it's like, you're supposed to be in the moment, You're supposed
49:42
to be living this life. This is, you know, not the idea.
49:44
All I needed about fighting and doing you know, exploring space and all
49:46
that shit. So all that shit she wanted wasn't what their life is really
49:50
about. It's supposed to be about. And Osha does say when she has
49:53
she talks to her sister, she says, I couldn't become a Jedi Christian.
49:58
I couldn't control my negative emotions. Yeah, she was always like this,
50:01
Wow, I mean, and the thing is, you can blame it
50:06
on your mom being killed. But again, it's like it's the same point
50:10
that I talk about on House a Dragon. It's how you know life is
50:14
going to be hard in various ways. How you react to the cards or
50:17
dealt is all you really get in is life, you know what I mean.
50:21
It's it's like how you react is what matters. Like your mom being
50:24
killed is one thing, but then you know after that, you become you
50:28
know, evil, you know, student, Yeah, because your mom got
50:31
killed. Niggas die every day. Be like, sorry, I don't blame
50:36
them because again, like I said, if I if I got powers or
50:37
stuff like that, how do we already know where you're during this review I'm
50:47
going with. I thought that I was the evil one of our two,
50:52
but I thought I should never get the infinity, y'all. And I learned
50:57
that, you know, I would probably be you know, like you know,
51:00
like you know, a good ship for everybody. You know, life
51:04
is great. You know that's me. You would be there like damn,
51:07
I know that's my homie. But I gotta stop her like she was because
51:13
I'm over here, like you know, party over here. The police would
51:16
call you and be like, man, you need to go talk to her,
51:21
and you'd be like, well, I guess I'm gonna try. Nigga.
51:23
Ain't should to say she got the too late, y'all. Nigga should
51:28
have said something with you to let the stones go talk to you. That's
51:30
how they be doing. Ocean, may go talk to your sister, please
51:35
that nigga. How did you feel about man Ocean's fight the hand in hand
51:39
combat? Yeah, whatever, you know, after we had cameer and soul
51:46
you know after Commie so was after I know, but that's what I'm saying.
51:50
Even before, Yeah, they shouldn't have found it all. You didn't
51:54
like that. I mean I was looking closely because I was just like,
51:58
yo, is that man really throwing hand? But then I saw like a
52:00
lot of Yeah, I saw a stunt doubles. I was like, I'm
52:05
saying, I didn't want our fun because it was like, you looked like
52:08
a dude, right, Like I saw sunt doubles and CD I a little,
52:12
but I was like, all right, well, you know, and
52:15
they were doing and again the whole mirror image stuff, you know, mirror
52:17
mirrors that they was doing the same moves at the end, you know,
52:21
they were both doing you know, like it was. It was it was
52:24
very anime. It was very anime. And I think that's also another reason
52:28
why I was attracted to this episode a lot, because it was, like
52:30
I said, the execution of it. And that's the thing with this show.
52:35
The ideas have been there every time, it's the execution hasn't always been
52:39
there. That's why shout out to my brother, young girl. We were
52:42
talking about that, and that's you know, we came to the same conclusion
52:45
because he called me tight after like episode four, I think it was he
52:49
was like, Yo, this show terrible. We were both crying. No,
52:52
we both We're all on the same page. This is the wildest Star
52:57
Wars ship we've ever seen. I've never and it's either like it's it's not
53:02
and or, which is one of the greatest TV series I've ever seen Star
53:06
Wars anything. It's just a great first season. That is one of my
53:08
favorite first seasons the show. Ever. This is not that, but this
53:14
is taking risks. It's doing some different stuff, and some of it it's
53:19
it's like the ideas are excellent, and then some of it the execution is
53:22
excellent. So when you combine those two, it's really good. It just
53:25
needs better execution on some of the ideas. M I have three final questions.
53:34
One, are we gonna continue to see Basil dip out whenever something goes
53:38
wrong going forward? Because sabotage that's the one running joke, y'all could keep
53:44
with, keeping there, keep going. I hated Basil first, but just
53:49
like everything else, everything, Yeah, I need a Basil T shirt now
53:53
right now, Like Savage, you know this Basil, which is like Savage
53:59
written across this. It should be him. It should be him in running
54:00
motion with the speed lines behind him, just knowing he's another Wong. Wrong.
54:07
Oh yeah, absolutely another Wong. Wong was right. Two, what's
54:12
gonna happen to Pip pit pipteil alive? You know we see pips turn them
54:16
off? Savage, right, Savage, I hated Pip two and I'm in
54:23
love with is funny because of what he did? You know, all right?
54:29
As fus uh Three and really the most important question at the end,
54:36
Gamore walked into somebody office. Ain't somebody nigga? We know who the nigga
54:40
is. The niggas six seventy years old, we know who this nigga is.
54:44
She walked in the Yoda office. Yeah, and say we got a
54:47
problem. We gotta talk. Where do we go from here? Well,
54:52
like I say, we if if they do this as I think they are
54:57
going to, and and I'm hoping that this show gets nude for multiple more
55:00
seasons now, at least two or three. You know, this should lead
55:04
right into a phantom menace like everything we see here. I mean, now
55:09
we've seen Yoda, you know the type. So with we're one hundred years
55:13
away from it, but with a couple you know, twenty year time jump,
55:15
whatever you want to do. I don't know, you know, we
55:17
get there by the end of the season, I mean, not the season,
55:21
by the end of the series, and that's what we're seeing here.
55:24
But it's also interesting because it really is gonna make Yoda look like yet even
55:30
I mean Guru already has called this man out famously on Fall Nerds, but
55:34
it's gonna make him look even more garbage because now Yoda is the one who's
55:39
going to know that the Sith were there. So yeah, this nigga is
55:47
complicit, absolutely yeah. He a higher level than the way she bows she
55:53
He obviously a high level than Gomorra son nigga about to play have you ever
55:59
with Yoda? And it's not an be good m man. You should have
56:06
got a weird case. Why is he around like the Does all of this
56:09
Does this still feed into the whole power of two mandate with the Sith?
56:15
Or is that window at this point? You know? Allegedly because then and
56:23
then she talking about what I'm gonna find you, and I'm like to do
56:28
what like her sister, I'm gonna find you later? To do what exactly,
56:34
like, are you'll gonna do the fusion high or what's happening? Yeah?
56:37
And that that goes back to why did she just not come with you?
56:40
Then? Like why do you need to find her when she's right here,
56:44
nigga? Like she said, you said, what's the plan? Like?
56:47
Okay? Also like what is their motivation right now? Like all the
56:51
Jedi are dead, you know, the ones that were at least listening you
56:54
the death of their mom. Well, remember I seem like Kimer wasn't legal,
56:59
Kimer was then I ain't leaving. I'm leaving here with something and kinda
57:02
looked at them, is like one of y'all, one of your bitches is
57:07
coming with me. Y'all beside, but one of y'all's coming with me,
57:10
okay. So she just like, I'll go be easy. Let me just
57:15
said I'll go with you. I'll be your acolyte. So that's why she's
57:16
there. And then May May is done, maybe do what she do?
57:22
May is like a simpleton at this point, like, well, I don't
57:24
know why. I remember she said, why are you here? Mason,
57:30
nigga? I don't know, Like you know, she straight up said,
57:32
your last memory is when you were eight. They don't know ship, you
57:36
don't know nothing. And then for her and then for tomorrow to be like,
57:38
Okay, well I need you to go find help me find my friend
57:40
she was talking about came here, I need to go help me find my
57:43
my pupil whatever. And then May's like, well, I guess girl,
57:46
whatever, let's do it. But I got nothing else to do. I
57:51
have no life. My whole life has been trying to kill y'all. I
57:53
don't know who I am. Yeah, well she knows she had a sister,
57:57
but she don't really know who he is, who she is, So
58:00
I don't know. I don't know, but I'm looking forward to season two.
58:07
I can't. I cannot lie, you know, even after all that
58:10
that I just said, I'm not knowing where these characters are really going other
58:14
than I guess I do know Osha. Osha always wined his life. She's
58:16
always been the good son, and now she's dead. May is just like
58:21
I did what I needed to do and now I know nothing, so it
58:23
matters, not like I guess. May now has the chance, but she's
58:29
way too old to be a Jedi. If they talk about they wouldn't train
58:30
her ass before, but they said, no, she was too old when
58:32
she was ten or whatever, you know, and they said the fifty times
58:36
she was too hilarious symptom give a fuck. No, they don't, because
58:39
you can, because you can get turned at any time, and especially when
58:43
you are you're made of the force. You're not a person. So that's
58:50
what I'm saying. The jet like what, oh damn, the shorty not
58:52
even knowed that she's made of the force. Gramora don't even know right,
58:58
souldn't even have a chance to tell her. Well, I think, remember
59:00
Gamora when she went down there, Remember she got she kept getting the ghosts
59:02
of the Christmas past, She kept getting the voices down on the ground.
59:07
And then also who knows, like don't they got it. I don't know
59:08
how much Soul reported, but they were investigating that version when they first take
59:14
me. She had to have known enough to turn around and lie to the
59:16
council, yes, about what really happened. I think Gamore knows mad shit,
59:21
and Gamora be shady. I think I'm still not sure about Goamore's real
59:24
motivations either, like she down with beause that's another thing I'm now that we're
59:29
talking about I'm so glad I got to mention this. Gamora's office is debt
59:32
out in black and red in the Star Wars universe. When your shit is
59:37
black and red, nigga, you're evil. There is like no like she
59:40
had droids in the background or black. When you got black droids, they're
59:44
evil. Sadly, you know that look racism heavy, But yes, if
59:49
you got black and red in your office, you were usually evil. And
59:52
Gamore's our office was debt out in black and red. And nothing that a
59:57
good director puts on screen is unintentional. Yeah, And and my thing is
1:00:00
her. I keep drawing on her being so shady and secret him and it's
1:00:05
like, on the one hand, you're like, oh, she's protecting me,
1:00:07
but it's like, no, she's usually made for her own purposes and
1:00:09
she needs to keep that quiet. Yeah, ain't nobody protecting May? Ain't
1:00:15
nobody been protecting the May and ocean since it started us, They've been used
1:00:17
and that's they keep being used as tools over and over again. So at
1:00:21
what point do they like, fuck y'all? Like I said, And then
1:00:23
you know, they fuse together and then I don't know what happens next when
1:00:28
it happens, but yeah, I don't know. We will see them hopefully,
1:00:31
hopefully, because like I know, there is a lot of online hate,
1:00:36
you know, and I'm glad, you know, we got a little
1:00:37
announcement to make that you know, where we can help combat some of this
1:00:42
ridiculous, you know, nonsense at least, you know, in a small
1:00:45
way. But overall, I really think this show was really good and deserving
1:00:51
of a second season. Absolutely shout out to Leslie Headlin and the whole crew,
1:00:55
Cogonata and a whole bunch of other people who helped with the with the
1:00:59
creation, the writing, the direction, everything, Like they really came up.
1:01:04
They really came up and redeemed themselves quite fittingly, and they it lived
1:01:09
up to what it was supposed to be. And I'm just really excited for
1:01:15
what's next. And to the other point you made about, you know,
1:01:19
the news for us ladies and gentlemen, for all nerds is now rotten Tomato
1:01:27
approved critics. That means, well, first of all, let's say,
1:01:30
yeah, that means that we are Tomato tomatometer Tomato meter certified, which means
1:01:39
whenever you go to whenever you're looking at a show or film, or whatever
1:01:43
you're trying to say. Oh, I wonder what the rotten tomato scores is.
1:01:45
And you know, you see a whole bunch of critics and all their
1:01:46
scores get aggregated. You see a percentage or whatever. Our voices are now
1:01:51
going to be officially as part of that aggregation. So we are to contribute
1:01:54
to that percentage that you see, which, to Ben I means point when
1:01:59
we see that it's thing is actually good, we are going to fight against
1:02:02
the negativity, the unfounded negativity when we see something isn't actually not really that
1:02:07
good. We're gonna be honest as we always are. We're gonna be honest,
1:02:09
and our voices have always counted. We have always been official. It's
1:02:14
just gonna be mad official now. So thank you so much to as we
1:02:19
mentioned earlier, Joel and Luna and Portia and everyone who has contributed to four
1:02:27
O Nerds and help us get to this point to where we are now.

1:02:50
the source of words, you gotta pray to God and all that. First
1:02:52
