Captain America still lacks leadership – A Review of Captain America: Brave New World pt.2

Ready for more Captain America: Brave New World chaos? Join Kareem, Ken, and Pat as they welcome back special guest Mayday for Part Two of their no-holds-barred review! This isn’t just a podcast; it’s a comedic intervention for the MCU.

Show Notes

What to Expect
In this hilarious hour and a half, the crew dives headfirst into the cinematic quicksand of Brave New World. Prepare for:

Plot Hole Palooza: Seriously, how many plot holes can one movie have? Our hosts and Mayday are on a mission to count them all (and maybe plug a few with their own wild theories).

Character Inconsistency Carnage: Did these characters even read their own scripts? The gang dissects every head-scratching decision and personality shift.

Reshoot Rhapsody: You can practically see the seams! They’ll poke fun at the glaringly obvious reshoots and try to make sense of the Frankenstein’s monster of a movie that resulted.

But it’s not all doom and gloom! With their collective MCU mastery, this group of tangential giants (and Mayday!) basically rewrite two or three different movies from the Brave New World wreckage. Get ready for:

A Red Hulk and Betty Ross story that actually makes sense.

A Captain America recruitment movie that feels… You know, recruitment-y.

A surprisingly plausible (and genuinely exciting) introduction to a full-fledged mutant storyline in the MCU!

Don’t miss out on the most entertaining breakdown of a superhero movie you’ll hear all week. Hit play and commiserate (or celebrate!) with the Tangential Giants!

EP.119 – Don't Trust Billionaires – A Review of James Gunn's Superman pt.3 Tangential Giants Podcast

The Tangential Giants return for their third strike at reviewing the three-quarter mark of James Gunn’s Superman, and somehow, the chaos only gets more refined with age. Kareem, Ken, Pat, and guest Tim settle in to talk about the movie, but as always, tangents emerge like uninvited cousins who still somehow run the show.This time, the crew dives into how the fictional citizens of Metropolis and the very real citizens of the United States share a troubling weakness for any rich guy with a shiny suit and a PR team. From there, they spiral into a celebration of Guy Gardner’s comedic menace as Green Lantern, because apparently the universe needed a man who is equal parts hero and walking HR violation.Naturally, the group also questions the logistics of a pocket universe prison. Is it science, magic, or just James Gunn saying, " Trust me and hoping no one asks follow-up questions? The Giants ask them anyway. And that is only scratching the surface of the detours they take while trying to talk about Superman’s journey.If you enjoy passionate nonsense, comic book philosophy, and four grown adults trying to make sense of a movie that refuses to stay on the rails, this episode is your comfort food. Settle in and enjoy another round of heroic chaos.#tangentialgiants #superman #jamesgunn #dcu #dcuniverse #supermanmovie #dccomics #comicbookmovies #nerdpodcast #superherotalk #moviebreakdown #GuyGardner #greenlantern #metropolis #PocketUniverse #popculturepodcast #dcfans #supermananalysis #moviediscussions
