Hey Knights! Thank you so much for clicking on this video! What a special treats to get from Marvel for spooky season! Absolutely loved this contained story and can’t wait to see what they do with the characters in the future! If you enjoyed our reactions and since you’re down here already tear apart the like button and rip the subscribed button’s heart out ❤ Thank you for all your support and we’ll see you guys in the next one!
We can all agree on one thing after this. Ted is such a sweetheart and he deserves as much sushi as he wants.
Get Ted some sushi! He had a rough night!
In the comics Ulysses had an extremely abusive relationship with Elsa. He once took her out on a bot chummed up the water and threw her in to see if she could survive. In the comics Elsa normally teams up with Deadpool, Wolverine, and Black Knight. She’s also a member of the Midnight Suns.
Oh no way!!! We assumed it was abusive since it was insinuated she 'ran away' and didn't return for 20 years, so that was the biggest giveaway but we didn't know it was this bad!
Hopefully we see more of Elsa, now that Deadpool is coming out, Wolverine is coming back and the Black Knight was introduced, we should be all set to see more of her!!!
Thanks for saying that. I always assumed Ulysses was presented as heroic in Marvel comics. I just remember covers from the 70s with this giant blonde hair guy that looked like Thor in a safari outfit wearing the bloodstone.
Yeah, it definitely adds some context that we were not aware of but it was hinted at so masterfully, we could easily put 2 and 2 together!
I too loved the transformation scene. I was even more impressed to read that the director didn't use CGI during that scene. It was all in-camera effects.
They traded out actors in different stages of transformation as the strobe light flashes to create the shadows on Elsa.
Wow! He really went for it! Didn’t spare the effort. Good on Michael Giacchino 😃 I thought Jack looked fantastic!
@@OfficialMediaKnights yes! The effects are incredible. Here's Giacchino's full quote: ""That's not a visual effect, that shot. That was all done in-camera and that took months to design and figure out how we were going to do it, but Joe Farrell, our visual effects supervisor, was incredible in helping put that together. But that is almost exactly as I storyboarded that moment, exactly that... so wherever we could do practical, in-camera effects, we did it, and I would say there [are] a ton of them in there, you just would never even know." "
Holy shit, that is incredible!! Movie magic, man, never ceases to amaze us! So glad they really put in the effort because the love for film just translates so well and oozes off the screen. Thanks for sharing the factoid and quote!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights absolutely! I also love that they mostly used a guy in a suit for Man-Thing. It's the same performer who was Black Krrsantan in Book of Boba Fett!
Actually there IS cgi. The bars. Having real bars there cast the shadows in odd directions so they ended up having to add them in post.
"Ted" as in Theodore "Ted" Sallis, Man-Thing's human name before he got mutated. He probably prefers to be called that because that's the only piece of his former life that he has, and he wants to hold on to the only thing left that reminds him of his lost humanity.
Thank you! It didn’t register in my head under “Ted” haha but it makes perfect sense. Although this Man-Thing felt quite humane actually! He could communicate, sense emotions like his comic book counterpart etc. They saved the juiciest of super powers for the future haha 😃
In the comics, he is pretty much mindless and only reacts to emotion, primarily fear. He guards a dimensional portal in a swamp
Great reaction, guys! Here's something I loved about this special that I feel Giacchino understood that so many modern directors seem to overlook when attempting make love letters to classic monster movies like this. The real horror in those old movies is not in the number of scares or kills, or the shock and blood and gore. The real horror in those old films lies in the tragedy that befalls the lead character who is a monster, or becomes a monster. Many of the classic monster movies are based on old novels from the 19th century, and those stories are steeped in tragedy, which is where the true horror comes from. The old monster films made sure to incorporate that element, and I find that is often missed in the throwback types of horror flicks made today. Giacchino understood that tragedy aspect and brought it out in our lead's performance. Gael Garcia Bernal's acting carries that element of personal tragedy with him. I loved it!
Absolutely true! The tragedy of not being able to avoid your true nature and that nature being something that could end up hurting innocent people is a theme that always up the stakes when included in horror. I’m glad this felt like a movie of the era! 😃 thank you so much for your support!
Great reaction guys! I just subbed your channel.
Man-Thing's power is based on human emotion. Depending on how YOU are feeling, that's how he responds to you. If you're chilled, he is friendly, if you're scared, angry or aggressive, he secretes a poisonous acid that turns anything it touches into a charred skeleton.
"All who know fear, burn at the touch of Man-Thing!"
Thank you so much for your support! It really means the world to both of us. I love that his powers work that way! As long as you're no enemy you have nothing to fear haha Cant wait for a special dedicated to Man-Thing I'd love to see his origin story on live action!
Moon Knight's first appearance was in an issue of Werewolf by Night.
Ohhhh wow!! There were also easter eggs about Werewolf By Night in Moon Knight's show!!
Fun fact: Aside from the hand and Man-Thing, the werewolf was all practical. XD
That's incredible, actually, movie magic is always so impressive!
Actually, parts of Man-Thing was practical, especially the head and upper torso.
Aside from whatever implications we assumed by the presence of the "TVA" (who turned out to just be guards) in the trailer, there's nothing to suggest that this story takes place in a different timeline or universe than our main MCU continuity. In fact, in the mausoleum there are dates on the tombs that (I think) run all the way up to the 1980's... maybe even later.
With the Avengers being referenced in the intro, I think it's safe to assume this is the 616. And the Timeline Order on Disney+ lists this as happening after Love and Thunder.
I think both of these things are very important, because it means that Jack, Ted, and Elsa are now in the toybox for future MCU projects. Interfacing with Moon Knight or Black Knight or Blade. Joining up with Midnight Sons. Using Man-Thing for crazy multiverse stories. Facing off with Doctor Strange or Agatha. Et cetera.
Thanks for the comment and explanation! We did sorta come to that conclusion tentatively in our discussion towards the end of the video. But regardless, this is really exciting, because we are entering the 'supernatural' aspect of the MCU and we are STOKED for that!!!
@@OfficialMediaKnights I'm stoked for Jack, Elsa and Ted entering the MCU, but, I mean, we're already quite deep into the supernatural aspects of Marvel in the MCU. We've got Doctor Strange, Clea, Wong, The Ancient One and all the sorcerers in Kamartage, Ghost Rider in Agents of SHIELD, Sister Grim in Runaways, Cloak and Dagger, the Helstroms and the demons they fight, Thor and Loki and Frigga and the witches who raised her and all the other gods of Asgard, the gods in the city of immortals in Love & Thunder, Valhalla, Bast and the version of an afterlife seen in Black Panther and the Egyptian gods and the version of an afterlife seen in Moon Knight, Scarlet Witch and Agatha Harkness and the coven we saw Harkness with in her Wandavision flashbacks and Wundergore and the Darkhold and the Book of Vishanti and 2 separate magic interdimensional cities with dragons in them in Iron Fist and Shang-Chi and the soul stealing monster in Shang-Chi, the sorcerer in Stallone's group at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy 2, the creatures summoned by Donny Blaze in She-Hulk and the realms he sent people to and the creatures Addisyn met, the ebony blade, we've heard Blade though not seen him yet and one of the patients at Abomination's retreat claims to be a vampire (and we've heard vampires mentioned already)...Hell, though this is Man-Thing's first actual appearance, we'd already heard him mentioned by Maria Hill in an Agents of SHIELD episode (saying he'd been a SHIELD prisoner at one point) and seen a giant bust of him on Sokkar in Thor: Ragnarok (a SHIELD prison and the gladiatorial games on an alien planet: no wonder Jack's annoyed at how many times he's had to rescue him).
Did not know this until today. Apparently mazes and labyrinths are different things. Labyrinths have only one "Solution". But mazes can have multiple paths to lead to exiting. Apparently this is a labyrinth, since the only way out seems to be back to the people waiting for the winner. Which is why Jack has to create an exit for Man-Thing
Oh wow! Now I learned something as well. Thank you for sharing the knowledge man
Man-Thing's actual name in the comics is Theodore {Ted} Sallis. He was working on a project with Super Soldier Serum in the Everglades and A.I.M. tried to steal it. He injected himself with the serum and then crashed into a swamp charged with eldritch energy. He became the guardian of the Nexus of All Realities and people burn when he touches them if they are afraid.
I love that fact! He is super in tune with emotions which means as long as you’re not afraid he won’t hurt you. Also he can sense what would be positive emotions too and sometimes even has shown signs of being intelligent in the sense where he can communicate like in this case. Can’t wait to have him manipulate the fabric of reality at some point haha
Michael Giacchino actually wrote the Marvel Studios intro that has been used since "Doctor Strange" only fitting that he remixed his own theme.
Oh for sure!! He's such a genius with how he writes his scores and generates such wonderful emotion every single time!
I am just blown away by this. I can't wait to see what Michael will do with a feature length film. After this, you know he's gonna get one. 😏😏😏🥰
Oh my god! A Michael Giacchino feature would be amazing. Let him helm a big solo film. Something that would require this kind of tone. Maybe a Ghost Rider title? If they decide to go more supernatural than action or a balance of both 😃
Jack Russell was always one of my favorite heroes, because he's literally cursed, but tries to use it help the best he can, and obviously would be sympathetic to "monsters" like poor Ted and to Elsa, who is clearly not like the other hunters. This entire show was virtually perfect, writing, acting, directing, cinematography, sound design, pacing, just amazing work!
Thanks so much for the comment, we enjoyed it so so much!! It was such a wonderful breath of fresh air with its stylistic choices, score and cinematography. What a thrill it was to watch!!
Remarkably insightful reactions on the parts of both of you. So good to see a couple reaction where the reactions and insights are split pretty evenly between the two of you! Some fine insights into the Marvel world as well. Most impressive!
That film feel you kept referring to is most accurate. Moody blacks and whites, odd angles, large sets, fog etc etc. These are all aspects of the German Expressionism style Universal used back in the 1930s and 40s for their Classic Monster films. Even the first appearance of Jack Russel and Werewolf by Night (Marvel Spotlight #2) copies the poem from the post-1941 Universal films "Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night. May become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the moon is full and bright." (I say "post 1941" since the original Wolf Man film from 1941 had a last line that read "When the autumn moon is bright."
ANYWAY, a fantastic reaction! Looking forward to delving into your past catalogue!
First of all, thank you so much for your comment and support - you taking the time to write out something this thoughtful truly keeps us motivated! We truly appreciate the support and hope that you enjoy the rest of our content as well!
It's so funny you mentioned that but, we were so impassioned by this that we had an almost 30 minute discussion about this afterwards, which we had to cut drastically to save on time and entertainment value. I (Denise) learned quite early on in my discovery of my passion for filmmaking that German expressionism was a HUGE influence in many genres, particularly in horror, which was one of the reasons I'd mentioned 'The Cabinet of Dr Caligary', the effects of which still trickle on down til this day! Also, loved The Wolf Man, one of my favorite monster movies to date!
That one actor's actual credit on IMDb:
David Silverman ... The Flaming Tuba
Sounds like an epic band name 🤣
A monster hunter and, eventually, also a wealthy mercenary, Ulysses Bloodstone had originally been a caveman kept alive for 10,000 years due to a fragment of the mystic, alien Bloodgem imbedded in his breastbone.
I would love to see a special with his origins story. That way they could bring in the Hellfire Helix into live action 😃
Well the bloodstone is connected to the dark hold and so is Jack's curse. The god of chaos cthon inhabits the realm from which the dark hold draws it's power. The demons that bowed to Wanda in MoM were miniature versions of Cthon
Great catch, actually, yes!! So curious to see how the Bloodstone is gonna return in the MCU, because if feels like it will!
Jack scratching behind his ear as he talks about being a human😂 nice touch❤
So clever on the actors part😆 I can’t wait to see more of him man! Like honestly give me more Marvel monster vibes
Late to the game but things people never notice: Every now and then you'll see a sort of scratchy circle appear in the top right, then a few moments later it reappears.
This is a signal to the projectionist in a movie theatre to start the next reel on the other projector. Of course this was digital, and there aren't any reels but it's a brilliant detail for those who know.
Fun fact: projectionists used to push a coin into a reel near to the middle so that when it was nearly empty the coin would drop and make a noise - just in case the projectionist was nodding off, or reading.
The added cue marks really made it feel like it was actually shot on film! So clever!
The Man-Thing's power in the comics is in addition to limited invulnerability because he is made of plant material, he can burn anyone who he touches that is afraid. He doesn't create or control portals. He is the guardian of an area of the Everglades known as the Nexus of realities where portals open all the time into other realities or other realities in the multiverse.
I love you guys' idea about having one of these one offs every Halloween season! My god...they need to run with this. It is truly so amazing how much love went into it.
Haha thank you for saying that! It would be such a fun thing though, imagine!! It was such a wonderful ode to classic monster flicks, and you can just see how much care went into it! If it's like this - quality-wise, they need to do this every year!
A little late on this but I just wanted to mention that the soundtrack is one of my favorite parts. Its more or less the Marvel counterpart of The Batman, which was also composed by Giacchino.
Its pretty similar to it in many ways but this one has more cinematic choirs. Also like The Batman, this one has such a gothic vibe here. Rich and lush at times while also being creepy and ominous. Like the tuba horn part was insane. I also really love those horror tremolo and pizzicato strings. Those give me eargasms every time. Jack's theme is really the highlight here and is almost played the most. On the soundtrack, there are two bonus cues. Both are Jack's are the same but played differently. The first one is played on an acoustic guitar while the second one is a piano version.
Would love to see Michael Giacchino do more horror related soundtracks. He's more than capable of creating really scary and suspenseful parts well.
His "Let me In" score is amazing
Couple of quick things. The first creature shown in the manuscript {and as a trophy in the Trophy Room} looks like it is meant to be the MCU version of the "lesser" vampires. {The ones not directly connected to Dracula.} The ears look like maybe they going for it to look like Baron Blood. His costume had huge ears like that. So, they might be going for the ears to be actual ears in the MCU.
After the two-headed creature is shown, the next creature might be Wendigo, which is an actual part of the comics. The big furry creature that Ulysses is fighting with a bow & arrow.
Really good catch dude! It would be smart to start introducing vampire nods everywhere since we know they’re gonna have to explain pretty soon where they’ve been hiding haha also Wendigo!? I hope we see that at some point
7:49 Apparently that was a vampire that Jack Russell said he fought a few times. In humanoid bat 🦇 form 🤔.
Ooohhh nice catch!! Wish we could have seen that though, I imagine that to be sooo cool!!!
Whatever knows fear *burns* at the Man-Thing's touch!
Werewolf by Night was a long-running Marvel title, and the flagship of the company's horror line.
Moonknight first appeared, there, as did Blade, and it is set in the same universe (for the most part) as the more well-known superhero titles.
However, I think it's safe to say that, given the events of Loki, Man-Thing has a significant role to play in the MCU.
I agree! Heard that marvel is currently working on 2 separate Halloween specials this year. I’m gonna go ahead and assume Man-Thing is one of them 😄 Hopefully we get to see his origin and powers. Connection to the nexus etc! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! It means a lot to us 😃
Sorry but Blade first appeared in Tomb of Dracula issue 10
In the comics, Man-Thing was, originally, bio-chemist Dr. Theodore Sallis, hence, "Ted".
Ohh that's so interesting, thanks for commenting! We definitely love Ted!!
Also, the werewolf was all done practically, with prosthetic make-up.
"He who fears will die by the Man-Thing's touch."
Niiice! Good to know they went all practical! It keeps the retro aesthetics. I wonder how this will look in color and with the modern look. Aka when we see him meet the rest of the supernatural team 😃
Next special better be a Man-Thing Origin man 😃 They have everything they need to make it an amazing special. References to the super soldier serum, the magic swamp and the nexus gateway. What else!?
Brilliant! Absolutely Brilliant!! Love this Halloween Special from the Marvel Studios! It feels refreshing for the MCU as well. This makes me more excited to see the future Blade movie and hopefully a Ghost Rider project with Robbie Reyes. I don't know much about Man-Thing, but he was great!!!! So satisfying that Disney is allowing Marvel to tell more darker stories because I love the supernatural side of Marvel! Curious to hear you two's thoughts! 🙏🏽
We have our discussion at the end! Stick around. We absolutely loved this! Oh boy we’re in for a ride with Man-Thing one of his main powers is the manipulation of the multiverse itself. He’s actually sort of a Nexus Being. So I’m sure they’re gonna utilize him and the bloodstone for a lot of the next saga or at the very least they’re 2 very important pieces of the puzzle. If this is how the supernatural side of Marvel is gonna be im all for it! Can’t wait for Ghost Rider, Blade and Black Knight. The line up for Midnight Sons is about to be insane 😀
Why Robbie Reyes? What about Johnny Blazes he’s the OG Ghost rider. 💀🔥🏍
@Darkseid honestly if we get them both down the line that would be pretty freaking cool haha
huge fan of Werewolf by Night, I have issue #1 framed on my living room wall. It beyond exceeded my expectations. They captured the look of 1930's/1940's Universal Monsters "horror noir" flawlessly with the lighting and love the look of werewolf feeling very time period fitting as well. The 'reveal' of him transforming while camera focused on Elsa and his silhouette in the light was a big shot selection highlight as well as the one take hallway scene.
WE AGREE! for sure those 2 scenes are the ones that come to mind and definitely a highlight when it comes to the cinematography of WBN. We absolutely loved it! Like you said, everything felt appropriate to the time frame they were aiming for. And I’d love to have this blend in the mcu. Give me more classic monster vibes! 😃
Imagine MANTHING and GROOT fighting beside each other.......OMG!!!!!
Destruction and cuteness overload! hahaha
When listing members of the Midnight Sons, you left out Elsa Bloodstone and Dark Knight, who we first saw in normal form in The Eternals. So we have Blade coming next year (if they clean up the problems with the script and find a new director in a couple of months). So the only one left to be introduced is Ghost Rider. Hopefully we'll see him fit into a Phase 5 or 6 project and then Midnight Sons in Phase 7.
Black Knight is definitely coming! Can’t wait for them to announce his movie or show whichever direction they choose to take it. And yes! Elsa tends to be part of that lineup 😃 I can’t wait for our boy the Spirit of Vengeance!
They didn't have to fight to the death, but there are no holds barred in their quest for the stone. Like her stepmother said at the outset: they're all fair game.
Gotcha! Can’t wait to see the Bloodstone return. Hopefully we get to see more of its powers. By the looks of it it’s a one of a kind even across the multiverse 😃
Marvel has killed with their specials!!! 🤙❤️
RIGHT?! This was SPECTACULAR!
I love your channel. The two of you are great to watch. It's like watching a movie with old friends.
Aw duuuude thank you!!! Your comment made our day, it means the world to us that you like our reactions!!!
Thanks again for an entertaining reaction! I do like how much the two of you get into the shows. Well done!
Thank you so much for watching man! We wouldn’t be here without you guys. We appreciate all the love
Love Marvel Super Natural heroes and this connects too Moonknight and Blade also and hopefully introducing Ghost Rider
Oh yeah my dude! I wanna see that Midnight Sons lineup😃 don’t forget about Black Knight!
I hope Michael Giacchino makes more stuff like this with Marvel that would be awesome man
I’d love to see it! He was so creative with his work on this. I can’t wait for Marvel to dive deeper into the monster lore they have. I’d love to see Michael Giacchino be to the dark side of Marvel what James Gunn was for the cosmic side.
@@OfficialMediaKnights yes exactly bring on the supernatural marvel characters like Ghost Rider and the midnight sons
I’ve been waiting patiently for the Midnight Sons! They would already have a killer lineup, they just need Ghost Rider. We’d have Doctor Strange, Werewolf Jack and Man-Thing, Moonknight, Blade, Bloodstone and the rider himself. They must do something with all of them!
"Whatsoever/Whosoever knows fear, burns 🔥 at the touch of.. the *_Man-Thing!_* " ☠️😈
In the Loki series, Loki says to Mobius that the TVA looks like/sounds like a nightmare. Mobius says no, that's a different division, and I'll help you burn it. I wonder if these soldiers were from that Nightmare Division.
Ohhhhh that's a great theory!! Wonder if that is it actually? Can't wait for Loki Season 2 to delve more into the lore and background of the TVA, there's so much more to explore!
Jack and Ted. Best comparison, Rocket and Groot.
HAHA YESSSSS!!!
Hi Again Folkses! I don't want to be a comment hog but wanted to add a bit of comic history on both Werewolf and Man-Thing. In a nutshell, Man-Thing originated as scientist Theodore (Ted) Sallis who, while working on an experiment, ended up in a swamp and turned into Man-Thing. This was in 1971's Savage Tales #1 (a B&W Marvel magazine). Just for the record Swamp Thing had a similar backstory but came out in House of Secrets #92 (some controversy there) a couple of months later. Both characters came long after The Heap, another swamp created man-monster from 1942. Jack Russel first appeared in Marvel Spotlight #2 as Werewolf by Night. His "werewolfery" was inherited from a family curse. He went on to appear in #3 and 4 before yielding to the 1st appearance of the Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider in Spotlight #5. Both Man-Thing and Werewolf by Night got there own titles in the 70s and have appeared in various Marvel titles since.
BTW - Just noticed that reaction at 15:28 re "That's a big foot!" Just subtle enough! 🤭
Thank you for sharing some insight on comic book history! Definitely a fan of those comics. Can’t wait for them to adapt more of these into live actions definitely want that Man-Thing special and maybe even a team up with the rest of the gang 😃 also yeah hahaha subtle enough! Thank you for your support 😁
I gotta say...if I were to decide, I'd put Jon Favreau and Michael Giachino in charge of Marvel. I'd trust their vision a lot more than what's currently going on.
I’m pretty sure the director’s said something about it might be taking place somewhere in the same universe where Blade will be taking place in and maybe somehow connecting with it in someway’
We’re definitely expecting that crossover to happen! Who knows exactly what universe this is set. I mean they got Man-Thing so it doesn’t really matter. He can control the multiverse and access it. If they wanted to they can write a solution by utilizing him as a doorway to our main universe. What we can’t wait to see is that sweet sweet Midnight Sons movie 😍
The art work in the beginning and the hallway art have very good Easter eggs like the wendigo from the comics like in x men and the hallway art has a specific and special nod of the og look of Gorr the God Butcher or what he supposedly to look like, the tendril alien killed by vikings similar to the comics. And the other thing is the makeup on Gael is the similar makeup work in the movie Coco or the Dias del la Muertos makeup work to honor and respect the ancestors.
I loved all the little Easter eggs they included in this! Really liked Gael Garcia as the Werewolf By Night and honestly can’t wait to see more. Good catch on the Easter eggs dude 😃
I hope Marvel and Michael Giacchino make a Manthing prequel special presentation in the future I'd love to see them explore his tragic origin story or even cooler do a full 2 hour long black and white legion of monsters or Midnight Sons movie and release it in theaters that would be awesome man it could be such a visually unique and different take on superhero movies like just make it a adventure monster hunting movie like the mummy with Brendan Fraser or van Helsing movie with Hugh Jackman and it would stand apart from from the other teams like the avengers, fantastic four, X-men and Guardians of the Galaxy characters who almost always deal with universe ending or now multiverse ending threats
I absolutely love this and I agree with what you said! I’d love to see Man-Thing’s origins story. It could indeed bring so much more lore and richness to the mcu. And start cementing the pillars for the Midnight Sons. Imagine Michael Giacchino helming the MCU’s Monster Heroes. I’d love to see him take on a longer project now that he stretched his wings a little. Thank you so much for commenting! 😀
I'm new here nice to be a new subscriber and yeah can't wait to see legion of monsters or Midnight Sons in the future that would be awesome
5:52 Then you’ll love him as the voice of Hector Rivera in Coco.
That would explain the 100 kills that Jack got. Not as a human, but as a werewolf. As a human, he wouldn't harm anyone.
Yeah..Jack seems like a really sweet guy. He doesn't even wanna fight! I hope his arc is learning to control the werewolf side of him 😀
Now I'm asking why there hasn't been a Man-Thing movie cause Ted was awesome.
Ted's full name is Ted Sallis and he is part of the main Marvel Universe. We also know that he exists in the MCU because his face appears as one of the sculpted faces on the Grandmaster's tower in Thor: Ragnarok. He is the hybrid product of science and magic and his primary role is that of the Guardian of the Nexus of Reality, a place that can access all the different possible realities. For most of the Marvel timeline he was a fairly mindless being with instances where he was more sentient as he is in this Werewolf By Night. Based on what the second season of Loki reveals, it is probable that the Man Thing will have a greater role in the MCU.
I would like to think when it goes to color its kind of symbolizes that the monsters aren't so black and white as the hunters think
How did Ulysses die if he had possession of the bloodstone? Was it taken from him?
Love this show/movie! The black and white film, lighting, music, acting, was superb!!And Man-Thing too?! We need more episodes!
Aw man absolutely agreed!!! This was such a treat to watch and honestly, we want and need more of this!!
6:19 The monster head with white fur, horns, and horn like protrusions in its jaw? I think it's a Wendigo 🤔😰.
Right??? It did look like one but we couldn't be too sure!!
5:49 gorr the god butcher there from comic
Jack and Ted's Excellent Adventure
We need more of this!
It's not the TVA and It's not a pocket dimension, It's not Chaos Magic. Elsa gave up her birth right. I think you guys are just overthinking things. It's a stand alone special that pays homage to the old school Hollywood Monster movies from the past and just appreciate the acting, cinematography and music.
We did appreciate all those things! But since they didn’t quite specify the origins of the Bloodstone I don’t think it’s overthinking at all! Could very well end up being from a different dimension all together (the stone I mean) the same way Agatha pulled magic from the dark dimension. When it comes to the tva and pocket dimension yeah we figured that out too while reacting haha I guess now all that’s left is enjoy the ride that’s to come
Lol we definitely may have been overthinking it but we also DEFINITELY enjoyed the hell out of this. It was a phenomenal piece of art and such a welcome change! Having someone like Michael Giacchino helm this absolutely fortified the artistry and creativity behind the project!
@@OfficialMediaKnights I am hoping for a Sons of Midnight movie or show. The MCU needs more supernatural stories.
Oh dude us too! Midnight Sons will definitely have to show up next phase or the one after that 😃
this movie is amazing
I love this, best thing Marvel has done since Endgame
Is "Man-Wolf" for next year to high to hope for? "J. Jonah Jamison" forced to ask for help from "Supes" to save his son from himself?
"Jack Russell..." LOL! Makes me think of "Eddie" on "Frasier." This "one and done" was proof that one should NEVER confine a "Jack Russel." They really need their "walkies" or they get cranky.
I truly do hope they go that route too! Supernatural marvel all the day 😃 and it would be a great way to bring J. Jonah back for a quick cameo haha
Ok, who thinks they need to make a Ted plushie?
I need more Ted all around! Haha he was awesome 😃
Werewolf by Night is caviar in the middle of so much junk food. Amazing! Werewolf by Night rules!1!!
Exactly, this was true caviar - the creme de la creme, and the passion for filmmaking is so palpable, it shows in each cut, each framing, each moment of acting. It's incredible
@@OfficialMediaKnights we demand more films like this!
Ted became Man-Thing by trying to replicate the Super Soldier formula, it's definitely 616
It is 616! But I don’t know how much the super soldier serum would be a factor in identifying the universe. Since we have Peggy Carters Captain Carter on the other side of the multiverse. Since Ted is such an exception we do know this story takes place in 616 but it would be an interesting outcome if this Ted is a traveler from a different universe all together that just happen to stay here. Since his powers highly rely on the manipulation of the multiverse.
The narrator at the beginning is the voice actor of Thor from Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes.
Which one? Are you talking about the Video game or the animated show? 😃
Animated series.
I think the setting was in Europe, because Europe or Germany are usually the ones who use old and new tech half the time. However, the events here happened post Thor 4 aka Love & Thunder.
Ohh dude thanks so much clarifying! We were unsure about the exact timeline so, it helps to know!
@@OfficialMediaKnights No problem, the only reason why it’s in black & white and not in full color, is because one word: Disney…
Yeah, they’re a bunch of pansy’s for making people go through that- if we’d gotten to see actual Red color gore, the experience would’ve been a lot more Truthful to the comics. Needless to Say, I hope they realize that the brutally of comic horror based Heroes are here to stay..
Otherwise, I feel like Stan’s ghost might haunt their lazy Asses for ruining his character’s as well as his friend’s and colleagues character’s Too. Because, Marvel was only ever meant for teenagers or kids that were 12 or Higher, back in the day. Apart from that, I think Disney fails to realize that Half the time.
Which is Why Stan’s ghost, may end up scaring them straight so Badly, that they’ll End up adhering to the Man’s wishes to not ruin anymore of Marvel’s character’s inside or outside of the MCU. Trust me, the Day that happens, is the day I’ll belt an Evil smirk with a whisper that reads;
“I knew it would happen, some day.”
Had a look at an MCU Wiki......Bloodstone Manor is based in Arizona, apparently. Funny, huh?
I've watched a number of these, and this is my favourite.
For a number of reasons. But certainly because...in almost ALL others, when a woman is one of the watcher/commenters...the bloke talks constantly, talks over her, makes really bad jokes and then looks to the woman to provide the laughter he feels he deserves.
Not here.
She is cool.
Wooow man... Thank you. This comment warmed both of our hearts, truly. You are right that that is a frequent phenomenon. We try to keep things even when sharing our thoughts and it always helps when there is a wonderful bloke who truly listens and delivers fun jokes 😆 Thanks so much again for the comment, we appreciate you!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Yes, I find wonderful blokes are handy in all sorts of situations.
Indeed!! Thank you so much again for making our day!
All hail TED
TED IS THE GOAT!
Jack is "lucky" to be the first one in because he get first dibs on the weapons inside the maze. 🥴
Welp…too bad he’s not a fighter then 😂
@@OfficialMediaKnights he doesn’t need them anyway 😅
Ahah, I think it's fair to say that he is the weapon 🤣
Hi I just wanted to say that the both of you are so lovely and adorably funny together!!!! 😅🤣😂😉😊😍🥰😎👏🙌👍🎉
Thank you so much! We appreciate the love man, it means the world to us 😃😄
Your welcome ☺️👍
How would you rate it out of 10 ?
Honestly we both really loved it! It’s a solid 9.5 for both of us. The main story was wrapped up nicely although we do believe they could’ve delved into the origins of the Bloodstone or how exactly it works. What universe this is (even though it’s suggested it’s 616) and it felt a bit short. But honestly we’re just nitpicking because we absolutely loved it. Cinematography was great, the score was amazing. The director and composer Michael Giacchino did an absolute marvelous job at utilizing music and mystery in sync with the camera work. And I loved the casting for both Werewolf By Night and Elsa. Gore in the mcu is something we are inviting with open arms specially now that Blade is underway. And it feels like their building the pillars of the Midnight Suns. Cannot wait to see how this will impact the MCU (bloodstone being the possible next big tool they’ll use since there’s only 1 apparently) and of course they saved Man things powers for the juicy next entries.
Why does it have to have a deep connection. Sure man-thing and Jack will return but just enjoy it as a 1 off too.
I did enjoy it as a one off, quite a lot actually!
Can someone explain what the 100 deaths mean in relation to werewolves?
I think they’re trying to say little Jack here has killed the most out of all the other hunters. Remember that she has no idea he’s a werewolf when she says this. They thought that number was just Jack killing people off in his normal form haha
iiiiiiiiiitttssss Morbin Time!!!!
Looks like the aim is for him to someday join this universe…oh boy 😬
Ohhhh TVA comparisons happening out there, they're called hunters, similar uniforms, weapons, fighting styles... But they're not the TVA... But what if... This group is the inspiration and base for what became the TVA, just prune enough of these skilled trained hunters, brainwashing, and Kang/Imortus has his response combat group.
Right?! Their similarities to the actual TVA is undeniable - but considering them being competent, it would make sense that some would be picked out of their timeline, brainwashed and re-trained! Awesome comment, thank you so much!
@@OfficialMediaKnights my pleasure, just keep the awesome content coming. 😁🤙
Thats not the TVA the Tva hunters are based on this.
Who the hell are they!? I need answers! Haha thank you for commenting dude 😄
I thought it sucked. Disappointed. Bored. Lame. Uninteresting.
Hey man! Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy it
I just thought it was basic like a CW mid season episode. Wasn’t even as good as a CW pilot. Lol.
That’s ok dude! Visual story telling is an art form. You don’t have to like everything that comes out. Art is not for everybody to like😃 on that note though what’s your favorite mcu film?
