Amanda & Charles need to do a hater podcast (& I mean that as a compliment) They're the necessary dose of reality.

At least Charles understand what he hates. Amanda has no idea what's happening and just generally doesn't like the MCU at large.

Jomi crushed it this episode. He nailed the "sex scene" of this movie. He nailed it with Star Wars comparison. It matters when you see it. He is 100% correct. Jomi has the vision. Charles will get there, maybe or maybe not about Eternals, but there will be plenty of things he revisits when he is 40 and he will see it in a different light, like Sean and Van and Amanda (and me, lol) have

[@NeeksnFreaks]

Charles is right this time. This film was soulless, it spent a lot of screentime making fun of all the things wrong with the MCU atm while doing a lot of those same things, it brought in cameos from films that mostly were not good to cover up a thin plot and pretty boring antagonist. I’ve been reading a lot of newer comic runs recently like Tom King’s Vision, Mark Waid’s World Finest the new Ultimate universe stuff etc. and even after almost 100 years with certain characters you get things that are so innovative, gripping and fresh instead of trying to emulate or achieve that, these movies choose to cannibalise themselves for cheap laughs, maybe I was expecting too much from a Deadpool movie but X-Men 97’ just got done showing us how you can lovingly elevate this material and then in live action we get slop like this and are expected to be happy. How can a movie with Wolverine and Deadpool go its entire runtime without mentioning the Weapon X program, how about an Omega Red cameo? I walked out very disappointed.

[@LaCheeserie]

When and if those new runs adapt to film you will be disappointed then as well. Comics are comics. Film adaptations are a different thing. Would a drive by mention of the weapon x program made you smile? Not like that would be a major plot. You have seen the first two deadpool movies right? This is what they are. I was not looking for a great story or connections to build on in another film.

[@NeeksnFreaks]

@@LaCheeserie my point isn’t the adaptation needing to be accurate or 1 to 1, X-Men 97’ wasn’t a direct adaptation neither was Civil War or Winter Soldier but they were carefully crafted, this film wasn’t. I mentioned those stories to show that comics still find ways to tell innovative stories which live action films are failing. I don’t need it to be big or connect to other movies. If comics are comics are comics why bother making comic book movies, television or animation at all?

[@LaCheeserie]

@@NeeksnFreaks Strong points and I agree. People take the comic characters because they enjoy them. And sometimes they do more of an adaption and sometimes they do a spoof movie like this

[@NeeksnFreaks]

@@LaCheeserie I’m all in for a spoof but to this level I think is too much because it leaves the film without an emotional core, in my opinion much more of this movie should have been played straight, Deadpool and his 4th wall breaking should be the main source of comedy Gambit doesn’t need a silly accent on top of it

[@LaCheeserie]

@@NeeksnFreaks Not saying it was perfect, but I was entertained

[@Byronic19134]

Wesley Snipes and Ryan Reynolds had an infamous beef which is why Blade says to DP in movie “I Don’t like you” and DP responds with “You never liked me.” Also is meta commentary on the moral of the story being about forgiveness and redemption, as Snipe was the OG who started Marvel movies with his rated R Blade trilogy, and recently was on the run for like a decade not even allowed back in the country. So to have him in this movie is a huge win for Snipes and Marvel fans as well as Reynolds. Also the heart of the movie is actually Daphne Keen who is only 19.

[@danielscottp]

Getting more content in the comment section than the actual 2 hour podcast 😂 Crazy I forgot about that

[@casynovids]

#1 it came out that him and Ryan are actually friends that played into the beef .. it was Wesley's idea #2 snipes was fighting tax evasion and started shooting movies out of the country he came back settled and did 2years in prison . He did 9 movies before Deadpool ... But your version sounds more meta and heart warming ..

[@CajunComrade]

The Amanda Exception to the Midnight Meter where she just says anything but a number has to be a recurring bit going forward. Just get her to record a voice memo with her rankings going forward, lol

[@ryanmchugh6767]

Unfortunately this wasn't a lot of fun for such a fun movie. 1:48 minute run time and the movie was talked about for maybe half of it, if that. Jomi says "we didn't really talk about Hugh Jackman's performance" this is literally a podcast review of the movie and they didn't talk about the movie. For the most part, enjoy the RingerVerse, especially the voice / knowledge it gives/imparts on a lot of things. But this felt very agenda driven and self-indulgent. Which was really disappointing given the general importance of this particular movie in the grand scheme of all things Marvel. Also 5's and 6's for this movie was crazy, this movie was mile funnier and better than a lot of the overall fare we've gotten. But these folks can't admit it and you can feel that vibe nowadays.

[@panckreous]

I appreciate Van calling out Charles finally ("your schtick is up" in this one, calling another of Chuck's vapid rants "basic", etc) but come on, it's gotten to the point where it's really affecting the quality of this otherwise-great content. And it's every single episode now. A real critic can be critical of something but explain it in a way you can understand and appreciate. A great critic can have completely different opinions than you yet leave you with a new perspective and expand your way of thinking. Charles does none of that. It's just vacuous negativity that sure was edgy in middle school when most people go through their contrarian/emo/know-it-all phase but now just adds all this inane noise we have to either suffer through or keep actively skipping past instead of being able to just have it on. There is irony and more in me writing this, especially as a yt comment. In the slim chance anyone at the ringer actually sees this, please know I'm not posting this to "hate" but because I'm such a fan of the community youve built based on the quality of your content that it's worth this long-winded, feeble attempt. Happy face emoji.

[@derekmedina5890]

Charles also hates the boys and house of D. Im starting to get a little annoyed. Everybody loves these shows. Puts pressure on the rest of you guys to rep us.

[@labeda101]

Yeah. I used to love listening to The Midnight Boys, but now find myself fast forwarding when they get to Charles or just turning it off. It's fine to be critical of things when they're bad, but it feels like he's unhappy with the job of watching and discussing this content.

[@RocknRage]

I think Van does a good job pulling out Charles' points and sometimes he can make good criticisms that make me rethink shows/movies. I do think, however, that he just doesn't like the genre anymore which is fine. He just doesn't need to be on these shows. He should review things he enjoys a little more.

[@siddharthm9740]

Sean and Charles basically agree with each other. Both agree that the story was inconsequential, that the movie fails to respark interest in the MCU even if it had a few good jokes, they even rated it the same number. Sean is just willing to smile and say he liked the movie while saying all this while Charles is being brutally honest and holding the movie to the standards of any other superhero movie

[@jayfeev215]

I don't even think Charles is holding these movies to the standard of its genre brethren anymore. I think they need to start watching some of the properties that Charles likes and review them because it's obvious he just doesn't like what he's watching for work, which has to also make work suck in some ways.

[@lexis4490]

Van is right about how people feel about these movies like Eternals. To me you are seeing it with Marvel movies. The earlier Marvel movies, like Thor and Captain America first movies were average and didn’t make the money it needed. They didn’t even try to do Hulk again. It was the Avengers movie that got so many people on board.

[@commaJim]

[@Byronic19134]

@39:10 Loki Season 2 is a masterpiece and I don’t understand the forget it never happened part, because Paradox is a direct consequence of the end of the Loki 2, as he prefers the old way in pruning timelines, instead of the new way of maintaining them.

28:09 What Charles thinks he is 33:20 What Charles really is Its amazing, right after someone else makes his whole stammering point succintly in 15 seconds 33:35. Just leaves out the mean spirit and adds facts and reasoning. But i get why Van and Sean want him around. Hes easy to bounce off and fabricate good takes from his cloud of keywords that run out his nose. Goes to see Deadpool and Wolverine and complains incoherently about average age of Heroes and a total of 10 minutes of Blade cameos.

[@RyanNilsen]

Loved this

[@jayfeev215]

I love the Midnight Boys, and I listen to every episode of the content I consume. I dont know why they aren't aware that the reason no new Xmen characters have shown up and they keep "playing the hits" with the Fox cast is because the actors' contracts dont run out until 2025. When the aquisition occurred, this was reported on, this is old news. So they have been doing XMen adjacent things until now. I also feel that's why we got that beautiful send-off in the credits of the Fox content/characters. Unless something in the agreement changed, no one should've expected any new XMen characters to appear on screen until after those contracts run out. In my opinion, they've done just enough to slowly send that cast off while not eatablishing them any further as characters in the MCU.

Crazy no one spoke to the non ironic earnest beat of Deadpool obsessing about mattering and the only way was to literally become Savior of Worlds even before there was something to save while still cracking jokes like someone that is indofferent to everything. The lavk of self awareness made some of the comedy turn over to hysterical tragedy in a way. The expectations he produced for himself mirrored what audiences now want movies to be, and what unironically is considered success.

[@Byronic19134]

It’s crazy how nobody noticed that Wade and Logan are literally opposites with one super serious and the other one who turns everything in a joke, but they both want the same thing which is too matter and it ends with them having to team up and physically grab the Anti Matter and Matter energy cores to save the day.

Can I give a legitimate crit? I love the show. You guys are great usually. And I don't mind it when the MCU gets called out for their stumbles, but I was eagerly anticipating this reaction show...and it was probably the worst one I've ever heard you guys do! Almost 2 hours and I think the movie got 40 minutes of it. This was NOT the movie to bring folks like Sean and Amanda in on. I'm sure they're great, but why get them involved in a reaction podcast to one of the nerdiest, lore heavy, meta superhero movies ever made? They added nothing to the conversation. Not trolling, but it's true. Speaking of, Charles maybe needs to just sit out any MCU discussion. I think he's a great critic, but he has clearly articulated that he's out on the MCU. He also adds nothing to the show at this point. I've started fast forwarding through his nonstop whinging sessions (Sorry Charles. You are a thoughtful critic, just not on anything MCU). Bring him back when you guys do literally anything else. I'm really hoping for a follow up episode to actually get into the movie and it's successes and failures more granularly.

@@chrispeters394 Maybe I have actual standards...Endgame and Infinity War are overrated and I was never impressed by those films. Raimi's Spider-Man films, Nolan's Batman films and the 2000s X-Men films were always much more interesting superhero films imo. Then you also have lots of great superhero films like Logan that came out later but they are thankfully not part of the Disney/Marvel machine. The MCU has been functioning at the quality level 'mediocre' since almost the very beginning because they wanted to churn out these films like on a factory floor and you can't really do that if your films are exceptionally well-made because replicating that kind of quality takes time, talent, effort and creativity. So the MCU purposefully aimed low and played it safe every single time. GOTG 1 was the only film of theirs that I watched twice in cinemas. "That level" that it took 10+ years to reach was never impressive to me because i've seen more emotionally engaging and more intellectually challenging superhero films than anything the MCU came up with up until this point. I am still intereted in superhero films being made...just not MCU films.

[@Regenmacher175]

Here are some cool films that are NOT superhero films that I was able to watch in early 2024 right up until the summer: Abigail, The Fall Guy, Love Lies Bleeding, The Bikeriders, Inside Out 2, Hit Man. Lots of wonderful stuff to watch out there that is not tied to a multiverse of hollow cameos and low-stakes superhero storytelling. I honestly wish the MCU would just pack up their stuff and go home because those films don't communicate anything interesting about human beings, nor do they convey an artistic vision of individual directors. They are Saturday morning cartoons on the big screen and that's just not good enough for me to spend 15 bucks on a movie ticket.

Abigail was a wasted. The Fall Guy had no stakes for something that supposed to be real. Bikeriders was cliche the movie. Inside Out 2 was wonderful minus the silly interpretation of handling anxiety. Hit Man was a Netflix movie. And Love Lies Bleeding had unrealistic writing. At least say great movies.

@@lexis4490 They were all better films than the glorified big-screen tv episode that is the modern superhero movie.

this whole thing feels very weird to me.. because I have always defended thos FOX X-men movies often from rabid MCU fans, that they were not good and not anything like the comics. I always felt that they had a little more seriousness to them, that the MCU was lacking. But now they are celebrated in every MCU movie...

[@Regenmacher175]

I have never considered MCU films to be anything other than mediocre and low stakes. These films are ok to watch once and then you can forget you ever watched them. I have revisited the raimi Spider-Man films and the Nolan batman films, as well as X-Men and X2 multiple times. GOTG is the only MCU film I liked enough to watch twice in cinemas. The rest I could honestly never watch again and not miss anything.

[@movieace1295]

@@Regenmacher175 I agree. I've always found them missing something. I think the 1st Iron Man, GOTG 1 and Endgame are better than mediocre though...

[@lexis4490]

@@Regenmacher175But yet you keep eat watching them? Okay.

[@Regenmacher175]

@@lexis4490 Can't judge something I haven't seen. Most of the MCU films have forgettable tv aesthetics, unmemorable soundtracks, average acting and generic stories. I can say that because I watched most of them.

i won't be taking anything someone with the nickname 'cokebaby' says seriously. anytime he speaks, i just see this: 🤡 -- the schtick is so tireddddd and played out. if hes so over this content, why is he podding about it? contrarians are always going to have some negative shit to say. any legitimacy his opinion could have is negated by his weak understanding and analysis of the content as a whole. dude really thought he was cooking when he tried to tell Jake Castorena some shit and Jake was like 'ok'. time for chuck to move on.

Wow. A lot of haterade today. Movie is what it is. To say this movie is made for modern day and jokes won’t last is crazy. I think everyone will remember Deadpool saving MCU. MARVEL JESUS. Also having someone on who hates superhero’s?? 🤦🏽‍♂️

Also I’m 26 and loved seeing Blade

Amanda is the worst. Please leave her out of everything involving IP.

Someone tell Charles to take a few pods off

[@Erawk]

Can we get an edit w/o Charles? Deadpool said some of the meanest, most vile insults I've ever seen, killed people in some of the most gruesome ways I've ever seen, DUG UP the GRAVE of a beloved character, but because there wasn't a pegging scene or a scene of them doing coke it's a "softer" version of Deadpool. GTFOH. It must be miserable going to the movies with him. Also, I'm here for the Triple Frontier love. Grossly underrated movie.

[@jeremygilbreth8333]

Welp, I tried. Made it about 10 minutes into the Charles bullshit and had to tap out. Sucks because I’d like to know what Sean and Amanda had to say. 🤷🏻‍♂️

You didn't miss anything.
