The Russos to Oversee The X-Men, SUPERMAN Teaser Sparks Controversy | THE GEEK BUDDIES

[@MrTwessel30]

It's why I have completely dipped from social media. I just don't need to surround myself with negativity. I didn't even realize there was a trailer controversy until this video. Thanks for being one of my sources of information I have chosen to watch going forward.

[@brianinglis3805]

KZbin is still a form of social media.

[@Vulcanerd]

Not only do I want a buff Rotta the Hutt, I want him to be lightning fast like a snake with arms, that would be terrifying.

[@blackrock316]

I agree with Michael on people acting like they are expert, it's getting ridiculous at this

[@crystall.411]

Someone else said something that made me realize that David Corenswet looks different in almost every shot or photo I have seen of him, it is uncanny. I think it is just his normal face because he even looks so different as Clark Kent too, I do not have problem with it.

[@David-ox7ps]

Have to agree the flying shot of Superman looks a bit weird due to the distortion caused by the wide lens. The reaction though has been over the top.

[@LazyEyeNZ]

@3:23 yes please I would love a future Geek Byte episode on The Last Jedi.

[@WedgeOfSpite]

That would be must miss TV for me. But hey! hope the fans enjoy it.

[@LazyEyeNZ]

Um okay lol

[@roconi1127]

The fact that the shot of Superman flying is causing "controversy" just makes not ever want to engage in any fandom ever again. People be complaining about the dumbest shit. That's just his face. WTF.

[@Wolfhunter5607]

i thought it looked good on my tv but it’s also funny asf people are going crazy over a 1 second clip

[@AndyDandyMandy]

Its the Snyder Chuds who already want to bash the movie to begin with.

[@tracerjames51]

It’s impossible to look at comments in things about fandoms anymore. It’s all bots and rage baiting.

[@tylerhenk87]

Yup its very disheartening. Its why I really only watch the geek buddies for geek news these days.

Bless you, Vogel, for correctly using "amalgam" instead of "amalgamation". I see you.

[@mickg13]

As a huge Star Wars nerd who loves the Clone Wars animated series, I think Mando and Grogu is sounding like a lot of pulpy fun. My expectations for it are for it to just be a good time. Personally, I'm way more stoked to go see it in the theater than I am the other announced theatrical projects other than Filoni's movie. Bring on the buff gladiator Hutts and cool bounty hunters!

[@ZachBobBob]

Yeah I had a big smile on my face hearing Rocha break down the rumours. It sounds so silly and as I Star Wars fan I love that stuff. Not sure how it'll hit for general audiences though

[@mickg13]

If it’s on par with or surpasses the quality of the first two seasons of The Mandalorian I think it’ll do well with general audiences.

[@micahu7412]

Buff Hutt isn't new. They've done it in the comics.

[@ZachBobBob]

The Superman thing is idiotic, I'm with John people are absolutely trying to find excuses to tear this film apart. THAT BEING SAID THOUGH, this film does have a funky look to it, it's certainly a stylistic choice...and if people don't like it they don't like it. They don't have to be an expert or pretend to be one to know that something isn't working for them. I'm not a writer but I know bad writing when I see it. I was one of those people that thought the first teaser to the teaser looked a bit "TV" and I wasn't jumping on a bandwagon or wanna tear down the movie, just my opinion.

[@Jon_FM]

The one thing I remember the Russos saying shortly after Endgame and the Fox purchase is the one franchise they really wanted to work with is the X-Men. I think they will definitely set the tone by directing the first one, establish those characters, and then back end with Directing Avengers vs X-Men. To me that is how you do it and I think that is likely how it works in a 3-5 year phase you can make your own.

[@TheNamekianClown]

It's a commonly mistaken that vampires = bats and warewolves = wolves and commonly unknown that classic vampire stories have them turning into wolves. Traditionally, vampires can turn into the normal quadrupedal animal wolf, warewolves are bipedal humanoid wolves.

[@Doomer253]

Hydra is infesting SHIELD again irl

[@roconi1127]

For a second, I thought my internet was glitching... but then i looked up at my screen and was like... Why is Rocha clear, and Vogel all pixelated? Lol.

[@Chewzy_CEO]

Vogel didn’t talk about poisoning the well when he trashed Zack Snyder film. Some people just don’t like the aesthetic of this James Gunn film. Let’s not act like the way a film looks doesn’t take people out of it. From the cast to the tea the film doesn’t excite me and these are the characters I want to see most on the big screen. DC fandom is fractured because some want a more realistic take and some want the Marvel approach. I thought it was great when they both were offering something different.

[@MindofMike35]

I don't give two shits about this James Gunn/Superman controversy. The only thing it has me wondering is if James will eventually get sick of all the bitching and moaning about everything he does as an executive at DC, and walk away before his four year deal is up? 🤔

[@MrNathansdad]

I thought I was the only one who heard that growl!!! Thank you!!!

[@MrNathansdad]

Comments on the stacked cast announced for Children of Blood & Bone?

[@Aussie27Legend]

[@C-Bee]

They’re making sure it’s not easily overlooked or dismissed and I love it. Been waiting for it since it was at LucasFilm. Glad another studio picked it up and seems to want to do right by it.

[@MrNathansdad]

@@C-Bee Maybe this time the GBs will actually lead in the discussion instead of just the regular franchises everyone else is discussing everywhere

[@andothersuchnonsense2685]

I, unfortunately, have to disagree with the notion that the X-Men films are better when a minority is handling them. Regretfully, as a gay person, I think Matthew Vaughn and James Mangold, two straight white men, have produced the two best X-Men related films to this point. Admittedly, I dislike the OG trilogy and DoFP more than the average bear, but I think most everyone sees Logan as the crown jewel of the X-Films.

[@ludwigvanbeethoven8448]

Regarding The Mandalorian and Grogu, I personally am not going to have a problem with the rumoured plot elements if they are really well executed, but im really worried if general audiences will and will react badly. I think this is the first time ever a major franchise has had a TV > Movie installment built upon whats come before. Add to that the backstory us fans know about Rotta etc. but others wont. I love Star Wars because it has lore and canon, but im starting to think that we have to accept there are limitations on what its reasonable to expect the audience to know.

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

Yeah, it's going to be interesting to see how well a TV audience will translate to a large movie audience for this particular film.

[@josephweeks3786]

Entourage lol.

[@ludwigvanbeethoven8448]

@@josephweeks3786 Do you mean as a TV > Film? That, like many other TV show examples, I discounted from what I'm saying by defintion. It wasn't part on an "ongoing" multimedia major franchise. As popular as any sitcom or serialised TV show is, they are not like IP franchises. Major franchises I'm thinking Star Wars, Harry Potter, DC, MCU, Lord of the Rings etc, things that have their own lore. The Mandalorian and Grogu film is just meant to be another installment in their story, not the conclusion of the Mandoverse. Besides which it was a $50m dollar box office. Thats not even in the same ball park as what a Star Wars film gets, even the lowest performing film to date. One example I did think of after I wrote my comment was The X Files, but im not a fan of the show and have not seen the film so I can't say how 'independent' for want of a better word the film is from the TV show itself and how important it would be to be abreast of the latest developments in the show to know the set up going into the film. So I still think this is unique for a property of this type.

[@edgarbyaruhanga6513]

🚨👀👀👀🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️So...secret wars may basically be a turbo charged steaming bowl of nostalgia!!!! We just did that with deadpool. You shouldn't have told me that - I barely feel like watching marvel movies now, so another 3 years of reheated leftovers makes me feel like I'll check back when Xmen is here. It may be just a rumour but it makes me feel a bit Scorsese/Jodie Foster vibes.

[@Xekshek]

I am just begging for Sophie Thatcher to be cast as Rogue

[@Aussie27Legend]

I could see it

[@JohnRochaSays]

I like that idea a lot.

[@Vulcanerd]

I wanted to see what was going to happen in a in depth exploration of a new Sith's training, I wanted to see if Vernestra, the Jedi and the Senate were headed for a power struggle, I wanted to see what the fallout of what we saw in s1 and the death of so many Jedi to a "mystery" (as far as the Jedi are concerned), was Vernestra Qimir's Jedi master? What was the fallout going to be of Mae having her memory wiped and what would have happened when/if she found out that the Jedi mindwiped her (a very Revan-esque scenario). This may raise Rocha's hackles as a TOSer, but Star Trek The Next Generation is considered *the* gold standard of Star Trek, but it would have never gotten past the first much less a second season in today's climate.

[@gregv2k]

Geeks are my buddies, but not geeks who tear apart seconds of a trailer with no clue what they’re talking about. Can’t wait to see what Corenswet does with our man Kal-El.

[@C-Bee]

There will be a day when there aren’t as many Marvel, DC, Star Wars shows/movies and fandom will regret using so much of its time to bicker, nitpick and auto-hate so much. They’ll be like Magneto and Charles in DoFP “all that time wasted fighting each other…” People need real hobbies. Things that get them to interact with others in person. This chronically online era is not helping anyone. Channing’s Gambit was stiff with little going on in his facial expressions. I hope to not see him again. Recast away. Storm should be the same age as the core team. I think people think of her as being older because of that old lady voice she has in the cartoon, but I don’t want “mother of the team” Storm. Unsure how I feel about the Russos overseeing X-men. Also Sam as Cap America is a cool sight I love him having the shield and the wings. Hope his film is as cool as his look.

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

A.I still want to see him as Gambit again, with the hope that his character and performance becomes more fleshed B.I agree that Storm should probably be closer in age to her other other X-men contemparies All that said, agree to disagree.

[@Rockscissorspaper]

Can't agree on Erivo or Edebiri being good choices for Storm. Especially not Erivo who I feel is too short and will be in her 40s by the time the X-Men movies get going. It just comes across as people picking the two "it" Black actresses of the moment, regardless if they are right for the role or not. They should go with an unknown or relatively unknown for the part, IMO.

Hello all

[@jim1242]

Those boasting the acoylte being the 2nd best viewed on Disney+ is like the Miami Dolphins saying, we didnt do so bad, this season, 2nd in AFC East. Just dont mention the other teams are the Jets and Patriots, or how they did verses the rest of the league!

[@TheNamekianClown]

To me it's still a sign that it has nothing to do with the show itself and more about streaming originals in general. If the 2nd lowest viewed Star Wars show is the 2nd highest viewed show of the year on it's platform, that means year over year show over show views are down, and comparisons aren't really worth anything.
