00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.740
If you're a fan of the show, then you know, my

00:00:02.740 --> 00:00:06.500
favorite superhero hero of all time is Superman.

00:00:06.679 --> 00:00:09.880
Isn't that right, dog? Dad? I'm just kidding.

00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:13.500
I actually did not really like Superman growing

00:00:13.500 --> 00:00:17.780
up too much. I know not a popular opinion there.

00:00:18.199 --> 00:00:24.379
I was more Batman guy. Sorry. But I I am excited.

00:00:25.339 --> 00:00:28.460
Movie. um and a new superman trailer dropped

00:00:28.460 --> 00:00:32.560
i believe two days ago now yesterday yeah was

00:00:32.560 --> 00:00:36.060
it yesterday yesterday okay so it dropped yesterday

00:00:36.060 --> 00:00:42.119
and we actually see a lot more um we see lois

00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:46.039
lane interviewing clark as superman um and we

00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:49.119
see them get into kind of a heated debate about

00:00:49.119 --> 00:00:52.100
his involvement in the wars and he's like i'm

00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:54.659
saving lives and then you know she's obviously

00:00:54.659 --> 00:00:58.579
taking the stance very aggressively of like whose

00:00:58.579 --> 00:01:02.140
authority like gave you to intervene and like

00:01:02.140 --> 00:01:03.939
you're not representing America. And he's like,

00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.180
no, like I'm just trying to bring peace. Very

00:01:07.180 --> 00:01:09.739
classic, like Superman kind of argument there.

00:01:09.939 --> 00:01:14.599
But we also see Lex Luthor, the engineer, Ultraman

00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:21.680
and Hammer of. Or a bravia. Yeah. Yeah. Which

00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.560
that last one is a completely new character,

00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:29.260
supposedly. And I don't really know why. I'm

00:01:29.260 --> 00:01:35.560
not going to lie. Why? But the engineer in the

00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:38.780
comics supposedly is a hero who is part of a

00:01:38.780 --> 00:01:41.959
group called the Authority. In this trailer,

00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:45.879
she doesn't seem to be a fan of Superman. This

00:01:45.879 --> 00:01:48.939
is also a group that's more like militant and

00:01:48.939 --> 00:01:51.739
typically does not care about collateral damage.

00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.010
And this is direct contrast to the Justice League

00:01:56.010 --> 00:01:59.969
and also what Superman stands for. Then we have

00:01:59.969 --> 00:02:03.010
Ultraman, who in the comics is like the version

00:02:03.010 --> 00:02:07.849
of Superman from Earth 3. In this world Ultraman

00:02:07.849 --> 00:02:12.770
is the leader of the Anti -Justice League. Maybe?

00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:18.610
I don't know. So this whole kind of thing, from

00:02:18.610 --> 00:02:23.110
what I'm getting from this, first of all is I

00:02:23.110 --> 00:02:27.229
think this is And this is just my theory. I think

00:02:27.229 --> 00:02:31.129
we're seeing a This is a Superman that's been

00:02:31.129 --> 00:02:33.849
Superman for a while now. Mm -hmm We knew that

00:02:33.849 --> 00:02:36.729
already people that like are not happy with them,

00:02:36.909 --> 00:02:42.009
right? and then he is having conflict with his

00:02:42.009 --> 00:02:47.310
like classic comic book core value system of

00:02:47.310 --> 00:02:49.789
like I'm trying to be a good guy and save everyone

00:02:49.789 --> 00:02:53.680
and Then the world is evolving around him and

00:02:53.680 --> 00:02:57.960
he's having a battle with himself, kind of like.

00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:04.080
That's kind of like my take is that. So. Go ahead.

00:03:04.659 --> 00:03:06.939
Overall, we've had we had the initial teaser

00:03:06.939 --> 00:03:08.740
trailer, which we talked about back then. So

00:03:08.740 --> 00:03:10.360
go ahead and check out our video about that.

00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.199
We had the cinema con footage, which had kind

00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:15.560
of the extended stuff with crypto and the fortress

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:17.719
of solitude. And now we've got this trailer.

00:03:18.900 --> 00:03:22.840
Did you did this? Did this? Trailer live up to

00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.960
the first two. Do you think it was a good trailer

00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:30.699
or were you were you like about it? I will say

00:03:30.699 --> 00:03:35.479
I liked the second trailer better. Okay, but

00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:40.319
that is because I just really really enjoyed

00:03:40.319 --> 00:03:43.800
the interaction interaction with with crypto

00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:46.439
like, you know, he's hurt he's bleeding and good

00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.469
to play and it's like no You know, like, I loved

00:03:51.469 --> 00:03:54.750
that scene. I like laughing. Because here's what

00:03:54.750 --> 00:03:57.710
I'm gonna say. The first teaser, I loved. The

00:03:57.710 --> 00:04:01.650
CinemaCon footage, I loved. I didn't love this.

00:04:02.689 --> 00:04:06.310
I didn't. I was kind of disappointed with this

00:04:06.310 --> 00:04:11.949
trailer. I'm gonna be 100 % honest. I don't like

00:04:11.949 --> 00:04:14.669
the way that it started, because I thought it

00:04:14.669 --> 00:04:17.410
started kind of slow. There's definitely some

00:04:17.410 --> 00:04:22.050
good moments here in the trailer I Like some

00:04:22.050 --> 00:04:25.889
of the look of this of the style of this film,

00:04:25.889 --> 00:04:27.990
right? So here we got if you look on the screen,

00:04:27.990 --> 00:04:30.750
we've got our shot of Ultraman I think in this

00:04:30.750 --> 00:04:32.350
movie now we knew the Authority was gonna be

00:04:32.350 --> 00:04:34.529
part of this movie I'm guessing because we see

00:04:34.529 --> 00:04:37.170
the engineer right next to Ultraman. I'm guessing

00:04:37.170 --> 00:04:41.529
in this DC universe Ultraman is part of the Authority

00:04:41.529 --> 00:04:45.970
Right. That's that's that's my theory, right?

00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:49.660
um later on in the trailer we see the engineer

00:04:49.660 --> 00:04:53.420
in the fortress of solitude messing stuff up

00:04:53.420 --> 00:04:57.259
and we see crypto take a shot at them see if

00:04:57.259 --> 00:05:00.139
i can find the shot we see crypto taking a shot

00:05:00.139 --> 00:05:02.439
at the engineer and i'm like dude you better

00:05:02.439 --> 00:05:07.540
not be hurting crypto people will John wick people

00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:10.240
go John wick on you for hurting crypto, right?

00:05:10.279 --> 00:05:12.480
Yeah, we get we get this shot of the engineer

00:05:12.480 --> 00:05:14.459
and then cryptos like hey What are you doing

00:05:14.459 --> 00:05:17.139
in here and she's messing up Superman's robots

00:05:17.139 --> 00:05:20.759
and there's Lex and then she kind of like crypto

00:05:20.759 --> 00:05:23.339
gets a bite on her But she kind of tosses crypto

00:05:23.339 --> 00:05:27.000
I'm like you better not be hurting crypto, man

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:34.660
People will be upset with you I like to look

00:05:34.660 --> 00:05:39.019
at the costume. I didn't get anything extra out

00:05:39.019 --> 00:05:41.300
of the trailer. I do like that. They're going

00:05:41.300 --> 00:05:46.019
to try and tackle the big questions, right? Superman's

00:05:46.019 --> 00:05:50.540
not really an American. He's an alien, right?

00:05:51.500 --> 00:05:55.060
And I liked that he was like, I'm not representing

00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:56.899
America. I'm not part of the government. What

00:05:56.899 --> 00:06:02.170
are you talking about? Right. I'm glad they're

00:06:02.170 --> 00:06:04.410
going to try and tackle those. But again, as

00:06:04.410 --> 00:06:08.689
far as a trailer goes, it did not make me more

00:06:08.689 --> 00:06:19.750
excited to see the movie. I so I'm excited for

00:06:19.750 --> 00:06:26.069
the movie. I. I'm excited for the movie. I'm

00:06:26.069 --> 00:06:28.329
saying this one did not increase my excitement.

00:06:28.889 --> 00:06:32.709
Yeah. And I think I think that's fair. I'm worried,

00:06:33.170 --> 00:06:39.029
though. My only worry is. There's so much shit

00:06:39.029 --> 00:06:46.589
going on. I. I have faith in James Gunn. Yes,

00:06:46.750 --> 00:06:51.000
right. They. There is an argument to be made

00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.519
they pack too much in here there's actually one

00:06:52.519 --> 00:06:53.980
shot I want to point out too I love this they

00:06:53.980 --> 00:06:56.120
we got a little more in Nathan Fillion using

00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:58.600
the lantern powers watch this he comes in here

00:06:58.600 --> 00:07:02.459
and he like does the like whap Like hit somebody

00:07:02.459 --> 00:07:06.800
With the like lantern like he manifests like

00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:10.379
a big old hand. He's like get out of my way I

00:07:10.379 --> 00:07:14.500
Can stylistically I love it But you're right

00:07:14.500 --> 00:07:22.009
there may be too much here It's giving me I used

00:07:22.009 --> 00:07:25.050
to I love I think I've said this before on this

00:07:25.050 --> 00:07:30.050
show I loved season one of the arrow and I such

00:07:30.050 --> 00:07:33.310
a huge fan of I love the arrow verse love the

00:07:33.310 --> 00:07:36.970
flash When you got into I don't know season five

00:07:36.970 --> 00:07:42.189
or six with all of the mmm all the heroes I Did

00:07:42.189 --> 00:07:44.250
not enjoy it anymore because there were just

00:07:44.250 --> 00:07:46.370
too much stuff too much stuff in there. Yeah,

00:07:46.370 --> 00:07:49.509
I can understand that Um, that is a risk they're

00:07:49.509 --> 00:07:51.689
taking and we haven't even seen that super girls

00:07:51.689 --> 00:07:55.129
in this movie, too I did not know that yeah,

00:07:55.410 --> 00:07:56.810
because the next movie so you gotta remember

00:07:56.810 --> 00:08:00.470
like in our dcu like timeline We have superman

00:08:00.470 --> 00:08:02.629
is the first movie that's releasing the next

00:08:02.629 --> 00:08:04.829
movie that's releasing a supergirl woman of tomorrow

00:08:04.829 --> 00:08:09.350
right With millie alcock that's already wrapped

00:08:09.350 --> 00:08:11.970
shooting. They're done filming it. It's done

00:08:11.970 --> 00:08:15.069
So they're doing special effects now and adr

00:08:15.069 --> 00:08:20.850
and all that stuff right So, yeah, they got a

00:08:20.850 --> 00:08:23.089
lot to do. Now, here's the thing. You are trying

00:08:23.089 --> 00:08:26.329
to set up a new universe. I am with you, and

00:08:26.329 --> 00:08:28.810
this is a trend that I think has started a while

00:08:28.810 --> 00:08:32.210
ago that I'm happy about. The lack of origin

00:08:32.210 --> 00:08:34.769
story. When they brought Spider -Man back into

00:08:34.769 --> 00:08:37.350
the MCU, you notice they didn't make us watch

00:08:37.350 --> 00:08:40.830
Uncle Ben die again, right? When we got Batman

00:08:40.830 --> 00:08:43.509
v. Superman, like, all this stuff. I don't need

00:08:43.509 --> 00:08:46.850
to see Clark's origin. I don't need to see Batman's

00:08:46.850 --> 00:08:53.580
origin. I see the break again, right? It's I

00:08:53.580 --> 00:08:56.440
Know it. Okay, we all know it. It's pop culture

00:08:56.440 --> 00:09:01.259
zeitgeist We know okay, so I'm glad we're not

00:09:01.259 --> 00:09:04.320
going brand -new Superman I'm glad we've got

00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.320
a Superman who's been the Superman for a while

00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.679
and is now dealing with stuff We have a world

00:09:08.679 --> 00:09:11.379
that's obviously full of superheroes, right?

00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:13.700
There's obviously Guy Gardner and hot girl and

00:09:13.700 --> 00:09:15.399
everybody's just kind of running around doing

00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:20.720
stuff Yeah, and I think that's good But you're

00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:24.659
right. This may be this may be a little jam -packed

00:09:24.659 --> 00:09:31.039
And I'm concerned about that Yeah, I Don't know

00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:33.039
we're gonna have to wait and see when does it

00:09:33.039 --> 00:09:36.919
actually come out July July we don't have much

00:09:36.919 --> 00:09:39.179
longer to wait. We got about about two months

00:09:39.179 --> 00:09:42.139
As it comes out right around the same time fantastic

00:09:42.139 --> 00:09:47.059
four does oh my gosh, yeah Next weekend, I'm

00:09:47.059 --> 00:09:49.279
gonna go see Karate Kid, but that's a whole other

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:52.059
ball of kittens. All right, everybody, let us

00:09:52.059 --> 00:09:53.700
know. Did you watch the new Superman trailer?
