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


EP.120 – Jimmy Olsen's Manosphere Problem – A Review of James Gunn's Superman pt.4 Tangential Giants Podcast

The Tangential Giants return to finally wrap up their review of James Gunn’s Superman, and somehow, the last stretch of the movie gives them even more chaos to chew on. Kareem, Ken, Pat, and guest Tim dive straight into Jimmy Olsen’s full-blown Manosphere spiral, because apparently, even in the DCU, no one is safe from a podcast algorithm gone rogue.From there, the crew takes a hard look at the new Kents, who are depicted as so financially underwater that even Smallville’s cows are probably judging them. Then comes Lex Luthor’s army of Musk-like minions, a collection of tech bros who look like they’d unionize only to demand more stock options in exchange for less dignity.And of course, the episode wouldn’t be complete without discussing this new foul-mouthed Supergirl, who arrives like a cosmic warning label and immediately starts cussing out anyone within a five-mile radius. The Giants try to make sense of it all, but naturally end up wandering into philosophical detours, comic book lore debates, and at least one argument about whether Jimmy Olsen needs therapy or a firmware update.If you enjoy superhero analysis mixed with unhinged tangents, this is the perfect finale to the Superman review saga.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #supergirl #jimmyolsen #LexLuthor #dcu #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #popculturepodcast #dccomics #moviediscussions #superherotalk #podcastlife #dcfans
