S3 EP.11: Introducing the X-Men & Delroy Lindo – A Review of the Dark Web Comic Series pt.2

The guys (Kareem, Ken, and Pat) jump from reviewing the recent Dark Web Comic crossover mini-series from Marvel to examining entry points for the X-Men into the MCU. Tangents include creating an X-MenCU, the meaning of expendable, and the introduction of a Delroy Lindo focused podcast.



Show Notes

AN X-MEN MOVIE IS COMING… SOMETIME

In 2019, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige told a screaming San Diego Comic-Con crowd that the studio was in production on an MCU-set X-Men movie. Since then, we haven’t heard a peep. But Feige has said that the MCU’s take on the X-Men will be “quite different” from 20th Century Fox’s. For now, we’ll just have to wait until Marvel finally spills the beans on how it’ll bring some of the most popular Marvel Comics characters of all time to the biggest Marvel movie universe of all time.

Topic 1: Diminishing returns of the MCU

Topic 2: Marvel’s geniuses going to the same schools

Topic 3: Marvel pivoting to include the X-Men

Topic 4: Thunderbolts vs. Suicide Squad vs. Task Force X

Topic 5: Brainstorming a Delroy Lindo podcast


Shawarma vs Falafel vs Vaccines – A Review of James Gunn's Superman pt.2 Tangential Giants Podcast

The Tangential Giants are back with Part 2 of their deep dive into James Gunn’s Superman, and this round Kareem, Ken, and Pat have dragged Tim into the fray. He claims he’s here for analysis, but really he’s here for moral support and to witness whatever this movie is doing in its first twenty minutes.The crew breaks down everything from the Lois and Clark argument that feels ripped straight from a couples therapy session to Superman throwing hands with a kaiju before breakfast. They also unpack the emotional rollercoaster of watching Clark repair a Kryptonian VHS love letter from his parents, because apparently Krypton had Blockbuster.Naturally, the tangents spiral.The team debates which Mediterranean dish officially separates MCU fans from DCU loyalists. They explore the hazards of rookie superheroism and why some heroes should probably start with a learner’s permit. Then they wander into a surprisingly scientific discussion about Big Dick Energy and how it occasionally overrides attractiveness, logic, and the known laws of the universe.If you enjoy chaotic analysis, passionate nonsense, and four grown adults arguing about whether Superman should own a Blu‑ray player, this episode is your new comfort food. Grab your gyro or shawarma depending on your cinematic allegiance, and settle in for another heroic descent into tangents.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #dcuniverse #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #dccomics #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #SuperheroTalk #moviebreakdown #loisandclark #kaijufights #krypton #podcastepisode #geekculture #popculturepodcast #dcfans #SupermanAnalysis #moviediscussions
