Fact Fiend - Hugh Jackman Didn't Wear Shoes When Playing Wolverine

[@FactFiend]

In regards to the new format, this is pretty much the only way I could arrange my recording space to fit the aesthetic needed for my new hosting gig and I really didn't feel like rearranging everything for each Fact Fiend recording session. Also for anyone annoying about the lack of greenscreen, it's still here. There's a painting in the background of the shot painted by a friend of Spider-Man from the Raimi movies drinking a cup of tea in front of it. Bonely is also hidden somewhere too. - Karl

[@Fridge_Fiend]

Disgusting how you treat your old friend Greenscreen like this Karl

[@cameronheron8551]

I heard this story of how people turned the clothes of deceased family members into teddy bears for their children. Was very wholesome. Please make the greenscreen into a new fact fiend mascot. That way he can just sit on your desk during fact fiend and only be depressed when you are recording for that other show. Then you can edit the greenscreen mascot to just be any character from what the topic is

[@KylarRaynor]

Bonely is behind the Fact Fiend logo, wassup bone daddy. Also, Karl Smallwood + Simon Whistler = Whistlewood?

[@Americanbadashh]

Hosting gig, makes me wonder if you'll ever do a fact fiend on host clubs in Japan

[@joshuawargo6446]

She Hulk....hitting on wolverine.....and him replying fight club style...has to be my FAVORITE NEW THING when i zoomed in on that image xD omg ....total she hulk thing to do....and you cant tell me he minded THAT much xD

RIP Greenscreen. You will be crookedly missed

[@whyiwakeup6460]

Karl has been banished to the video dungeon and cannot escape to reunite with his beloved greenèd screen

[@gbrodie49]

Also don't forget that Wolverine was born in the 19th century, average height would have been shorter back then.

[@LiamWakefield]

I would have been completely unable to relate to how professional that set is now if it weren't for the anteater. Really brought it down to earth.

[@mynameischris378]

You're gonna need to use that shelf behind you to open a beer in order for us to accept this as the new set

[@icarusjumped2719]

Huge jacked-man is now wolverine. Just the same as Handsome Ford is Han solo

[@Zom13y]

On the subject of the inconsistencies of Wolverine’s height in comics I think it mostly comes down to the artist and some are better at reminding the reader how tall he is. Like Joe Madureira drew Wolverine shorter than Elektra because he’s a half a foot shorter but 70 lbs heavier. Also Hugh Jackman is 15lbs lighter than Wolverine is stated to be.

[@Iffem]

to be fair, hugh doesn't have a metal skeleton

[@Zom13y]

@@Iffem hmm makes you wonder if Wolverine was taller before the adamantium skeleton. Should be noted I wasn’t saying Hugh Jackman is a bad Wolverine because he’s not heavy enough just thought it was interesting. I had a bunch of Marvel toys as a kid and kept all the stat cards on the back and memorized them.

[@sev1120]

​@@Zom13yhe very well might have been, and the adamantium's weight compressed his skeletomuscular structure (hence why his muscles are so pronounced and dense even through the suit)

[@DeanIrvine]

The fact there is an alternative universe where Chris Claremont got his wish and we had Bob Hoskins play wolverine in the 80s always makes me smile lol.

[@dasphoenixable]

Congratulations Karl on the new hosting gig! Given that you have written scripts and also went freestyle for years it will be interesting to see you read someone else’s words. Whatever the reason I hope all is well with fact boi.

[@myhandlewastakenandIgaveup]

Congratulations Karl on the sidehosting gig! The second karl mentioned speedruns i thought of that viva la dirt league video! Its the best visualization of that concept ever.

[@starkiller6217]

I really hope they make wolverine his comic book height in his game when it comes out.

[@KrisKrisKrissy]

That premise you were talking about with the people coming back from the blip, really reminded me of the show 4400. If anyone remembers it, that was really interesting. Missing people from over decades of time all suddenly appear one day, all the same age as when they disappeared.

[@vintageshed965]

Stretching or compressing the aspect ratio to fit the screen is relatively ok. In Czech Republic, one of the TV channels airs the old episoded of The Simpsons, where they kept the horizontal ratio of the original 4:3 video, and cropped the top and bottom to fit the 16:9. It's all just weirdly zoomed in, with the characters often missing tops of their heads and legs.

[@adifferentone1]

Anyway here's my comment for those interaction points for the algorithm: my take on Secret Invasion is that it should have been an animated series like What If, because it should have way more characters in it and they can't pay that many actors but it's definitely possible with animation, as they have proven before.

[@fedeisonline5626]

loving the new background but so hard not to miss the blue and green iterations of the screen (i’ll get used to it by like the 3rd upload)

[@jdp3578]

Everyone knows that wolverine may be 5'3. But he has 6'2 energy...

[@Star_Wars_With_PercyMan]

I immediately thought it was wild that secret invasion ended with the most overcooked “good guy fights bad guy with similar powers finale” right after She-Hulk made fun of that bullshit.

[@trevorlambert4226]

That "some dude in a bar" is actually Wolverine's fellow X-Man, Colossus. He's meant to be 6'6" tall.

[@Justachannel-u9w]

Wasn’t colossus 7’1

[@darkermatter125.35]

Congrats on the side hosting! I know one of the writers for the other channels, I know the whole process is a lot of work!

[@jonasholm-mw5bn]

The premise of She hulk was nice. The moment where she first talks to Abomination is even good. There’s just something about him saying he thought he was going to be the next Captain America. But it just didn’t fully get there and there was all of the complaining about it

[@NDK0]

You are right, if anyone could play Wolverine, it would be Radcliffe.

[@joeydeaconblues]

In the comics Marvel have been doing a "Frontline" series for most of their big events since the first civil war. Consisting purely of short stories abd vignettes showing the event from the perspective of the man in the street. I agree that the MCU is missing a trick not doing the same.

[@Jezza36]

Omg you're hosting Biographics that's one of my other favourite KZbin channels!!

[@brohen]

If a young Danny Devito got buff he would be the perfect Wolverine

[@trevorlambert4226]

(Edit) congrats on the new gig! I hope Whistler is ok, tho! VIVA LA DIRT LEAGUE!!!!!! I love when some of my favorite youtubers watch the same stuff I do!

[@royshafer3281]

My favorite thing the first x-man did for correcting the hight problem is james Marsden (scott summers) had to 6-in platform shoes all the time because he is 5'10 and he's playing a 6-1 character and like everybody is three or four inches taller than they're actually supposed to be they talk about it in the director commentary of the first movie

[@flower4000]

My dream marvel idea that will never happen in daredevil taking on New York underground during the blip. All the power shifts, force him to work w king pin to stabilize the chaos.

[@jformaldehydem]

Wait, a fact fiend and fact boy crossover!? Finally some good news for 2023.

[@Zaneoo]

Karls office looks nice a cosy.

[@GonzoCiosain]

I just thought of an interesting idea for a Daredevil story after "The Blip:" What if Daredevil himself got blipped? Matt Murdock is canonically a devout Catholic, how would his faith and his sense of self be affected by effectively dying and coming back to life? But, that would be way too interesting for Marvel TV to actually do, so big CGI battle it is!

[@Iffem]

"a-... am i jesus?"

To be fair, they weren't actually killed, just erased all PG and sanitized. Theoretically, there wouldn't be a soul to go to heaven or hell.

[@kylesaunders8436]

I want to see Elijah Wood play wolverine

[@squashmallow2006]

I mean with the movies, Hugh's Wolverine does do the squat but its very contextual. I.e. he'll only do it when he's about to do his signature lunge attack.

[@Tannerbot2k]

I too, would love to see more slice of life marvel stuff. Things like, a character was late for work because juggernaut derailed the train ahead of them on the track, or spider-man saved me when my car got knocked off the bridge but I needed to take a cab to get here because my car was wrecked.

This is why i liked Netflix's Marvel run it was actually pretty good (aside the obvious). Street level Heroes, dealing with Street level problems, So glad we got Cox back as Murdock. Just give us more that. Wanda vision was good, Falcon was decent, it touched on the blip, close, and even though dudes not a super soldier seeing him actually train to utilize the shield like steve? That was cool. It gets a pass for me, close enough. Disney has the formula, they have the budget... They just, aren't there yet.

So what y'all are saying is you want non super hero movies. We got those, some of us want to just veg out on heroes and villains beating each other's ass. Why not just watch what you want instead of wanting my entertainment turned into what you feel it should be. I don't watch movies for plot and emotions and crap like that, life supplies those things. I watch to escape this world for a bit, but everytime someone makes entertainment to suit folks like me, other folks gotta whine until it's changed into the same BS everyone else makes. I wanted to see she hulk smash, if I wanted the show you described, Allie McBeal is already made.
