To be fair on the shipping thing, it's been around for way longer than the modern day. Loooong before Mulder and Scully, the Ancient Greeks did it with Achilles and Patroclus. Theres 0 implication of anything beyond platonic friendship between them in Homer's writing, but multiple greeks later wrote about how they interpreted their relationship to be romantic or at least sexual. Now it is a widespread belief that Achilles and Patroclus were gay for each other. That is probably one of the earliest examples of "shipping."
Can you name the demented shippers from ancient Greece? I have never heard that before. It would be fun to see because everything else has always turned out to be gays from modern times thinking LGBTQ was rampant in ancient Greece, and it's their interpretation of ancient Greek texts that's on the level of Rey-Lo muppets. Would greatly appreciate it.
Don't know why I doubted GREEKS would be into that or shoehorn it into a relationship that is blatantly(the greek words that describe the relationship are that for a close male friendship)a friendship.
"If you could change the ending of any movie, which would you choose?" Easy. 10 Cloverfield Lane. I have never seen a final 10-ish minutes ruin a movie faster than that one.

Here's a bit of s good news albeit unrelated to your discussions: One Piece Live action showrunners and manga author are fighting back against Hollywood by continuing to stay true to the source material and avoiding (hopefully) modern Hollywood propaganda-driven narratives. Season 2 updates reveal Oda's involvement even more. He constantly checks their work and make requests all the time to steer it in the right direction. It's not even in the contract, only a 'verbal agreement.' But since they're all real fans, they oblige to do so. It's even revealed that executives planned to skip some minor arcs in season 2 before the Alabasta arc. Imagine the Fellowship's journey to Mordor but without going to Rivendell and Lothlorien. Thank goodness Matt Owens fought for it not to be removed. So we are going to have the complete journey in s2 - Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum island. Alabasta will have its own season since it's a very long story. As a fan who has watched a thousand episodes already, this gives me hope.
"Avoiding modern propaganda driven narratives," the same show that has: Casted a trans actor to play Koby. Literally spoiled a MAJOR plotline that doesn't get revealed until 250-300 chapters/episodes into the story (Garp being Luffy's grandfather), and giving an unecessary Koby/Garp storyline in season 1 that took up alot of time that could've been given to the Arlong Park Arc and given to Don Krieg instead of having Mihawk kill him. I'm a fan of OPLA, and I think it did an overall solid job of adapting the manga. But, let's not pretend like the show doesn't fit everything that this side of the internet calls woke: Mr 3 is a cross dresser that perfectly fits the let's definition of non binary. OPLA has alot of race bending (Nochiko, Vivi, Cobra) The FNT cast once used Zoro vs Kuina as an example of how to realistically depict female vs male swordsmen, and how it makes sense a girl would consider the fact that a male would be biologically stronger, yet they clearly weren't aware of the existence of characters like Hancock, the Kuja pirates, Big Mom, Yamato, Robin, Ms. Double finger, etc. There's alot of things about One Piece (specifically the Live Action) that, if any other show did it, it'd be considered woke. It's just that One Piece prioritizes story telling and fun adventure first, so everyone gives it a pass. I wouldn't say the Netflix adaptation will be absolve of the "Hollywood agenda"
@@what7530dude casting a trans actor to play Coby isn't woke. Who cares about her gender. As long as she doesn't cross the line and change things or force her ideology into Coby's character, I'm totally fine with her. Plus she looks and acts like Coby.
@@what7530Dude you gotta admit, One piece is already super diverse and actually woke by today's standard, if you look at it from our understanding in our sphere. Why? because as you said someone like Mr 2 and 3 exist, and later Ivankov. But we give it a pass because the show never forced us to linger into those ideas for too long, and actually focuses on the more important storyline. The truth is I love their character, because despite their appearance and gender preference, their more important human attributes took center stage such as Bon clay's loyalty/determination to Luffy and Ivankov's allegiance to Dragon, etc.
2:03:00 For context, that was really common back then. Nowadays, ongoing shounen anime space themselves in seasons to leave room to the manga to continue, but at the time, they just animated nonstop till they inevitably run out of material, in which case they chose between continuing the anime with original plot (Fullmetal) or do a filler arc to make do (The big 3 anime, Bleach Naruto and One Piece all did that).
The Acolyte did tread new ground... the blatant inversion of good and evil. I've never seen a show, especially on a kids channel, that justified and celebrated evil.
If you look at the entire Disney SW production through those glasses, it's has been a pretty consistent factor, that they mainly attack the audiences when they reject their evil characters. Reba was a good example of that...
Little Finger, like Tywin and Varys, was way smarter than Dan and Dave. They couldn’t even keep Tyrion intelligent. Those characters were killed off or squandered because they were too smart for the writers’ room. The Stark sisters sucked.

@@TheMaleRei I had one game breaking glitch when I stepped into an elevator and the world imploded around me. Luckily the game treated it as a death and just sent me back a checkpoint.
The killing of Varys pissed off a lot of fans, including me. I assume this was done so that people would no doubt see her as the villain, especially, the ones who were still on the fence & undecided.
"Cosmic Connection" Galadriel is a married woman with a daughter for Eru Ilúvatar's sake. 'Shipping', or wishing two characters engage in a romantic/sexual relationship is not a new concept, however usually the people concerned are at least on the same team!
Non-autistic Sonic fan here. Shadow is a true "I can fix him!" type of character and he's probably the best material of the whole series. His girlfriend was killed by the governement (shot by a swat team) and he goes full John Wick against the world after that but gets his cool redemption arc at the end. That Hedgie has been printing money for years and this series of films has just improved over time. Sonic 1 was meh, Sonic 2 was already way more fun, the Knuckles series was good and the third movie will probably be the best.
The SW Outlaws main character looks like they took the actress's face and put a larger skull inside it. Or they found craniodiaphyseal dysplasia to be inspirational.
If you want to find franchises that have lasted decades, look to Japan. They have, no lie, over a hundred of franchises like that. Having respect for those who came before you goes a long way. Just having respect for other people in general does that really. Which the west lacks completely. No respect, no shame, no honour, only short term mindless self interest.
3:25:22 Army of Darkness influences on LoTR?! This would be the most important piece of content ever uploaded to YT. Omg I must look into this. My absolute favorite movies. There must be a link between the two!
1:53:40 Wasn't just Arya and Sansa. Bran clearly quotes Baelish. Easily implying he had informed Sansa and Arya of his betrayal involving their father Ned and the overall con involving Jon Aryn. Thusly, he can't be trusted and they execute him. Quite an easy puzzle to see and piece together. Showing the conversation between bran, sansa, and arya wouldn't have fit the previously established game of thrones elements i.e. deception, plotting. A couple of examples that are hidden story points from the audience are Tywin's red wedding plans, and Olenna's purple wedding scheme. As a writer you wouldn't want to give away the information through dialogue because that waters down the effective visceral nature of the actions then taken. Unless of course, you mean for the opposite to happen. Bran as the 3ER makes for the perfect cataylst to get rid of a character who thinks he knows everything, like Petyr, but in actuality knows very... Little... Finger. Varys' end is just as justifiable. He presumes to make the call on what is right for "The Realm" and lords his opinion over those who don't fit in his frame or philosophy. He is just as bad as Daenerys when it comes to responsibility and power. He has one of those mentalities that needs to get over himself because he thinks he is right when really he doesn't even know if he is correct in his decisions. This leads to his swinging in allegiance of the different leaders. He parallels both Dani, the high sparrow, and Melissandra rather well only he isn't driven by ambition, gods, or even vocation he just has a sense of entitlement and self importance. Like he has to be the one to bring about balance because he has crowned himself with that importance.🙄 Also, Arya killing the Night King was set up in episode one. As a writer you wouldn't include something without intention and arbitrary items aren't really arbitrary. Her arrow hitting the bullseye before Bran releases his is just great imagery and alludes to the ability she will have to do what is required to save westros. And ultimatley it would take a magically endowed being to undo another magically endowed being.
To quote Jason Mendoza... "The Jags aren't bad, we just need a defense, an offense, and some rule changes!" Do you think that would be enough to save the Acolyte?
I remember during season 1 of Ringpiece of Power people were calling out Hallbrand as Sauron and i stupidly didnt believe it because i thought, thats just a bridge too far leaping over a Shark, there is no way they could be that retarded and epically shite to have that as a plot twist.... how wrong i was!
They could have market Acolyte better. Use slogan "Sexy Sith" - "SS" for short, with hashtag and all. Since signature move of the Sith is force lightning, the "S" could be stylized as lightning bolts.

I didn't have access to Disney+ at the time Mandalorian came out. I was intrigued people were liking it after the Disney movie fiasco. When I would finally get Disney+ I was looking forward to seeing Mandalorian. Then they fired Gina Carano, so that was that and I never watched it.

Late to the party I know. The Lovecraft society did an adaptation of 'The Call of Cthulhu' in the style of a silent movie from the 1920s. HIGHLY recommend it.
To correct Gary, it wasn’t even Celebrimbor’s idea to make 3 rings. That one came from giga chad warrior goddess Galadriel. So, Sauron showed him alloy, Galadriel came up with the 3 rings, Celebrimbor was kinda just… there. Master smithing those looks he was giving Elrond…
To be fair on shipping, the early Star Trek fandom was filled with Spirk shippers, and several of them were responsible for making/circulating fanzines and newsletters. They helped build fandom as it exists in the modern era. But they did it out of love for the show, and their fellow fans. The worst of the modern fans (and those in charge of IPs these days) have the opposite mindset. Fuck, the old days of the Internet had the KINK TOMATO. When people weren't trying to cancel each other over their ships and fictional tastes. Now we have all kinds of phrenology of consent bullshit popping off.
One of the many nails in the coffin was the interconnected series. A lot of people don’t want to have to watch one series they don’t care for just to understand a series they actually wanted
The Acolyte is about two female masters who fail at training padawans. Green bald lady failed her padawan, thought he was killed somehow, but he left her and became evil. Master Matrix had a padawan who may be the most powerful Jedi of his generation, but as soon as he becomes a full Jedi, he's suffering from such a severe depression, he puts himself into a Force coma, and then erases himself at the first opportunity.
Man, 30 years old I used to LOVE Rolling Stone magazine. I remember the first one I read had Henry Rollins on the cover looking like a badass, covered in tats, long before tats were popular. Their articles on music and bands were great. Hard to believe it's now Woke nonsense, written by corporate Shills.
Rolling Stone isnt relevant and hasnt been for a while. Whatever giant mega corporation owns the name/brand doesnt care about making money or losing money off of it and its just used to push their propaganda and ideology. It doesnt make them any money and loses them lots of money but its a useful tool for someone whos got so money that they dont care about losses because its worth it for them to keep it around to spread messages they agree with.
Greetings! I was listening to this podcast when it first Aired and lost it when I went to look up some of my favorite Cthulhu productions. There is a company that has made a silent B&W telling of the Call of Cthulhu that is quite good! The company name is Mythoscope. They also have done many of the stories as radio plays. My favorite is the mountains of madness. I also recommend the 2011 Whisper in the darkness. Dagon is also good!
There was only ONE good thing to come out of the Kathleen Kennedy era of star wars: The book PHAZMA. Those who know, understand. I will DIE on that hill forever.
Dunk and Egg will be great(probably). GoT really fell off in season 5. So many characters got screwed over, Daario 2 was completely miscast. So many decisions where clearly made to appease the normy-audience that had infiltrated the series

His girlfriend was killed by the governement (shot by a swat team) and he goes full John Wick against the world after that but gets his cool redemption arc at the end. That Hedgie has been printing money for years and this series of films has just improved over time. Sonic 1 was meh, Sonic 2 was already way more fun, the Knuckles series was good and the third movie will probably be the best.
That Burger King clip is people pissed at Amandla for the Acoshite.
19:50 🤣Gary laughing
3:03:59 *MauLer* on *_Law Abiding Citizen_* (2009) 👌
How much do you want to bet that in S3 of rings of power they’ll make Sauron Celeborn.
The SW Outlaws main character looks like they took the actress's face and put a larger skull inside it. Or they found craniodiaphyseal dysplasia to be inspirational.
If you want to find franchises that have lasted decades, look to Japan. They have, no lie, over a hundred of franchises like that.
Having respect for those who came before you goes a long way. Just having respect for other people in general does that really. Which the west lacks completely. No respect, no shame, no honour, only short term mindless self interest.
Not the West. Disney.
The main character in Star Wars outlaws looks like the older brother in Young Sheldon.
25:03 premature attaculation
I must be getting old. I had to look up Shipping. Then again, maybe I was the clever one not knowing. Shows you what I read/watch.
They're on a relation-SHIP, see? 🤦♂️
@@cosmictreason2242 Please, I don't want any more information, I was happier not knowing:)
Does anybody else skip past AZ's angsty tantrums?
No, just you.
@@daremo12 then I'm sorry for you, and everybody else who sits through his Tourette's meltdowns.
1:29:02 ……. Ok Az, we get it
I’m a Greer guy when it comes to the UFO/alien subject. I think he’s right about Lue being a disinformation agent
3:25:22 Army of Darkness influences on LoTR?! This would be the most important piece of content ever uploaded to YT. Omg I must look into this. My absolute favorite movies. There must be a link between the two!
Best piece of Lovecraftian media: True Detective, S1
X-ray Girl has had at least 7 different laughs this stream lol.
1:53:40 Wasn't just Arya and Sansa. Bran clearly quotes Baelish. Easily implying he had informed Sansa and Arya of his betrayal involving their father Ned and the overall con involving Jon Aryn. Thusly, he can't be trusted and they execute him. Quite an easy puzzle to see and piece together. Showing the conversation between bran, sansa, and arya wouldn't have fit the previously established game of thrones elements i.e. deception, plotting. A couple of examples that are hidden story points from the audience are Tywin's red wedding plans, and Olenna's purple wedding scheme. As a writer you wouldn't want to give away the information through dialogue because that waters down the effective visceral nature of the actions then taken. Unless of course, you mean for the opposite to happen. Bran as the 3ER makes for the perfect cataylst to get rid of a character who thinks he knows everything, like Petyr, but in actuality knows very... Little... Finger.
Varys' end is just as justifiable. He presumes to make the call on what is right for "The Realm" and lords his opinion over those who don't fit in his frame or philosophy. He is just as bad as Daenerys when it comes to responsibility and power. He has one of those mentalities that needs to get over himself because he thinks he is right when really he doesn't even know if he is correct in his decisions. This leads to his swinging in allegiance of the different leaders. He parallels both Dani, the high sparrow, and Melissandra rather well only he isn't driven by ambition, gods, or even vocation he just has a sense of entitlement and self importance. Like he has to be the one to bring about balance because he has crowned himself with that importance.🙄
Also, Arya killing the Night King was set up in episode one. As a writer you wouldn't include something without intention and arbitrary items aren't really arbitrary. Her arrow hitting the bullseye before Bran releases his is just great imagery and alludes to the ability she will have to do what is required to save westros. And ultimatley it would take a magically endowed being to undo another magically endowed being.
To quote Jason Mendoza... "The Jags aren't bad, we just need a defense, an offense, and some rule changes!" Do you think that would be enough to save the Acolyte?
Tolkien would be spinning in his grave.
I listened to this in the background while I did my stop motions for 31 Horror Toys in 31 Days LOL
Well said AZ, don't let them tell you how to live your life!
I remember during season 1 of Ringpiece of Power people were calling out Hallbrand as Sauron and i stupidly didnt believe it because i thought, thats just a bridge too far leaping over a Shark, there is no way they could be that retarded and epically shite to have that as a plot twist.... how wrong i was!
Never underestimate the idiocy of Hollywood.😊
Gary playing chained together would be hilarious
They could have market Acolyte better. Use slogan "Sexy Sith" - "SS" for short, with hashtag and all. Since signature move of the Sith is force lightning, the "S" could be stylized as lightning bolts.
GRRM doesn't need to finish the WoW because he has achieved his initial goal.
- Fame
- Wealth
- Multiple TV Series
He is in his most comfortable place, there is no "drive" left.
I love X-ray Girl's ASMR reading followed by crazed cackling laughter 😂!
3:12 Something worse than a shipp is an imaginary and nonexistent shipp, and that's what Rhaenicent is. Another reason for us Fire and Blood readers to despise HOTD when you know Alicent and Rhaenyra weren't even friends in the book 😠 I hate HBO's fan fic writers.
I prefer the terms antifanfic and corpfic
Proof idiocracy is becoming reality: people's use of words like "shipp"
2:07:12 Gary, just do a Rim of Power watch along. You make money real quick and have us to make fun of the show with you. Done and Done
Oh, Rim o Pwr is tomorrow?! FNT is going to be sweet, can’t wait to hear from Little Platoon!
Danzig II Lucifuge was the album which had my friends mother call the other mums and say "Keep your son away from Peter, he's turned to Satan!" 😂
The one that made my own mother worry; Merciful Fate album Melissa. " Melissa you are my queen of the night. I sung that maybe too often,lol.
I didn't have access to Disney+ at the time Mandalorian came out. I was intrigued people were liking it after the Disney movie fiasco. When I would finally get Disney+ I was looking forward to seeing Mandalorian. Then they fired Gina Carano, so that was that and I never watched it.
Between Hollywood and politics trying to make things sound the way they want it sounds like a failing college student trying to fill their term papers with filler words 😂😂
49:32 sounds like those late night phone numbers I would call at the age of 13 just so I could listen to the adds 😂 (I was a pathetic kid)
Of course there's no critic reviews yet, they haven't had time to run away to X/Twitter to see what they're supposed to think.
"OnE oF ThE beSt stAr WarS GAmeS"
Me: "Sure, yeah, what are we doing, Top 100 list?"
Why does AZ always look at his phone... Like... ALWAYS
16:47 *GamesRadar+* | *_Total Film_* article: *The Rings of Power **_Galadriel actor thinks she and Sauron share a psychic link_* 🤣
Part of me wonders if she was expressly *told* to say that by Amazon personnel in hopes of driving views or impressions or anticipation, etc etc for the show.
3:01:32 no way i have the same problem - having to "re-read" things twice
1:26:45 _Epic_ rant from Az here.. for like, 4 minutes just a marvelous tangent. Puts into words so well everybody's thoughts.👏🏻
I’ve often thought that Michael Ironside would have made the perfect Wolverine, not only did he look like Logan but he’s Canadian too. Bub
Ps Az can’t watch Rings O power on Thursday, he’s busy washing his hair
Arrrgggghhh - will this ideological insanity never end?!
Late to the party I know.
The Lovecraft society did an adaptation of 'The Call of Cthulhu' in the style of a silent movie from the 1920s. HIGHLY recommend it.
To correct Gary, it wasn’t even Celebrimbor’s idea to make 3 rings. That one came from giga chad warrior goddess Galadriel.
So, Sauron showed him alloy, Galadriel came up with the 3 rings, Celebrimbor was kinda just… there. Master smithing those looks he was giving Elrond…
Amandla thinks her name means 'power or something' but in Wakanda it means 'don't do the Acolyte'😂
To be fair on shipping, the early Star Trek fandom was filled with Spirk shippers, and several of them were responsible for making/circulating fanzines and newsletters. They helped build fandom as it exists in the modern era.
But they did it out of love for the show, and their fellow fans. The worst of the modern fans (and those in charge of IPs these days) have the opposite mindset.
Fuck, the old days of the Internet had the KINK TOMATO. When people weren't trying to cancel each other over their ships and fictional tastes. Now we have all kinds of phrenology of consent bullshit popping off.
If anyome wants a great Lovecraft film thats newer i recommend Whisperer in the Darkness
Black and white and absolutely nails the Lovecraft vibes
1:28:15 Learn to swim, see you down in Arizona bay...
Amazing rant...that's Tool BTW...
GOOOOORE..!! X-RAY GIRL'S DOING THE THING! SHE'S DOING THE THING!! 👄🎙️ GET IN HERE!!
3:55:38 Awhhh sweet doggo🥺🥰❤️🐶🐕🐾
One of the many nails in the coffin was the interconnected series. A lot of people don’t want to have to watch one series they don’t care for just to understand a series they actually wanted
The Acolyte is about two female masters who fail at training padawans. Green bald lady failed her padawan, thought he was killed somehow, but he left her and became evil. Master Matrix had a padawan who may be the most powerful Jedi of his generation, but as soon as he becomes a full Jedi, he's suffering from such a severe depression, he puts himself into a Force coma, and then erases himself at the first opportunity.
“Reno Teeth” 😨😂😂😂🤣
Man, 30 years old I used to LOVE Rolling Stone magazine. I remember the first one I read had Henry Rollins on the cover looking like a badass, covered in tats, long before tats were popular. Their articles on music and bands were great. Hard to believe it's now Woke nonsense, written by corporate Shills.
Rolling Stone isnt relevant and hasnt been for a while. Whatever giant mega corporation owns the name/brand doesnt care about making money or losing money off of it and its just used to push their propaganda and ideology. It doesnt make them any money and loses them lots of money but its a useful tool for someone whos got so money that they dont care about losses because its worth it for them to keep it around to spread messages they agree with.
Greetings! I was listening to this podcast when it first Aired and lost it when I went to look up some of my favorite Cthulhu productions. There is a company that has made a silent B&W telling of the Call of Cthulhu that is quite good! The company name is Mythoscope. They also have done many of the stories as radio plays. My favorite is the mountains of madness. I also recommend the 2011 Whisper in the darkness. Dagon is also good!
“If Spiderman 4 doesn’t make a billion dollars then it’s over. The whole thing is done.” 😳🤯 Jeez, Gary…calm down just a lil’.
Itll be 50 years from now someone will compile Martins unfinished works into the final books the way Christopher did with JRR's unfinished writings
There was only ONE good thing to come out of the Kathleen Kennedy era of star wars:
The book PHAZMA.
Those who know, understand.
I will DIE on that hill forever.
When Gary was talking about stores, this damn show made me think he was talking about Stoors ffs.
I watched Gary's recap just to hear the Big-Ass Trench joke again
Dunk and Egg will be great(probably). GoT really fell off in season 5.
So many characters got screwed over, Daario 2 was completely miscast.
So many decisions where clearly made to appease the normy-audience that had infiltrated the series
Gary is Vape Maxing , thinks we wouldn't notice buttt we did DDDD
