Jay tells us why DC has not been able to achieve Marvel’s success with movies so far despite their early start with super hero movies. We also talk about what James Gunn can do to improve their performances.

Talk with us on Twitter.

Show notes...

It all started with 1989’s Batman!

Warner Brothers views DC properties like cogs in a machine.

Overall, DC heroes are different than Marvel heroes, which makes it difficult to build a franchise with them.

With James Gunn’s leadership, things are going to change for DC movies. But it’s going to take time.

Wonder Man casting news.

Wakanda Forever’s place in the MCU timeline.

Skaar didn’t look good at the end of She-Hulk. But he could have.

Thor: Love and Thunder

Super Sideshow

5.0

Hear Jarvis complain about a good movie. Mike reveals an awesome thing about Thor’s goats from Norse mythology.

Talk with us on Twitter and Reddit.

Show notes

Yes, Gorr the God-Butcher is from the comics. But he’s a bit different, and so is the sword that he used.

Toothgrinder and Toothgnasher are from the comics and the Norse myths.

Jane Foster has cancer: This is very accurate. In fact, how they handle the Mighty Thor is accurate to the comics, except it happens far, far too quickly. Fear not, True Believer! Jane Foster is still alive in the comics as Valkyrie.

Omnipotent City: From the comics, seen in the God Butcher story line from 2012.

There is an interpretation of Zeus in Marvel comics, but he has many different versions. As for his “Thunderbolt” weapon: no. That’s not a thing.

Eternity is in the comics, but is nothing like the movie portrayed.

Hercules and Thor have butted heads a ton of times, so this is nothing new, really. Hercules is an Avenger in the comics.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

Super Sideshow

08/29/21 • 51 min

5.0

We talk about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and the things you missed if you don't read the comics. Hear about Ego, Starlord, Sovereign, Yondu, Ravagers, Mantis, Adam Warlock, and more!

Talk with us on Twitter.

Links from the discussion...

Ayesha the High Priestess is closely associated with Adam Warlock in the comics. The Sovereigns don’t exist in the comics.

Ego the living planet isn’t Peter Quill’s father and isn’t a Celestial.

Mantis was trained in martial arts by the Kree who thought she would become the Celestial Madonna.

Yondu is a Centaurian. Yondu's "whistle arrow" is not in the comics. He was in the original Guardians of the Galaxy.

You can see why he’s called Taserface in the comics. Also, he’s ridiculous.

The original Guardians of the Galaxy was Vance Astro, Martinex T'Naga, Captain Charlie-27, and Yondu Udonta. Later members included Stakar Ogord, Aleta Ogord, and Nikki.

Adam Warlock played a key role in defeating Thanos in the comics. Not sure what Marvel plans to do with him at this point, if anything.

We talk about What If... Doctor Strange Lost His Heart Instead of His Hands? and the things you missed if you don't read the comics. Hear about Cagliostro, O-Bengh, leprechauns, Cthulu, and more!

Links from the discussion...

Cagliostro’s name is speculated to be O-Bengh in the comics which is confirmed in the 4th episode of What If...?, however in the comics he sought eternal life and in the What If...? episode he was content to die.

Cthulu is an ancient evil being that was created by H. P. Lovecraft and is in the public domain.

Hawkeye - So This Is Christmas?

Super Sideshow

12/24/21 • 49 min

5.0

We talk about the “So This Is Christmas?” Episode of Hawkeye with special guests Veronica and Melissa from The SJW Comic Book Club podcast. Hear about Kingpin, trick arrows, Echo, Tracksuit Mafia, The Swordsman, and more!

Talk with us on Twitter and Reddit.

Links from the discussion...

The Hawkeye tv series is very loosely based on the Hawkeye comic series. There is still a lot of meat on the bone for future projects.

The Kingpin in this episode was....fine. But not great. He can fight, though, so that's correct.

All these trick arrows were seen in the final episode.

In the comics, Kate and Clint both call each other "Hawkeye." Which I think is fun.

News you can abuse!

People in Norway want to see Spider-Man: No Way Home so bad that they are leaving the country to do it!

Happy Hogan was supposed to die in Iron Man 3?

I guess people thought it was worth getting Covid to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home.

Take these Sony/Marvel Spider-Man rumors with a grain of salt. A huge grain of salt.

An interesting interview with Kevin Feige where he doesn't say much of anything.
