Releasing it on Peacock was such a big mistake. This show could have been HUGE on Netflix or Max. Now we all have to bite our nails wondering if enough people even have Peacock to warrant a season 2.
It’s not like PlayStation made the show and then sold it to peacock. Peacock put up the money to have it made. Without peacock this version of a Twisted Metal show doesn’t exist
John Doe himself isn't actually the surrogate for the viewer that people think he is. He is a part of Twisted Metal Black. His character was just retooled to fit the tone of the series. In the game he was a detective that went undercover in the tournament to catch Kalypso. When he wins the tournament he gets his memory back just moments before getting shot in the head. In the series he was a kid when he lost his memory and his car is important to him because it save his life.
Wasn't his backstory that he went undercover in a heavily implied neo n -zi group (gotta avoid youtubes filter) and he lost his memory during that and he entered the tournament to get his memory back only for Kalypso to kill him since Kalypso top of the FBI's hit list?
Honestly I don’t disagree with you about the trailers, they are always the reasons why a large some of audience never give certain shows a chance and it’s the same with movies as well.🐱
I like how this show feels like a combination of twisted metal 2 and black, combine characters and backstories from both games, to create something truly unique and fun, but is still twisted metal.
I am so happy this show has good lighting. I know that sounds simple but too many streaming shows aimed at teens and young adults have everything so dim to "emphasize the mood" when all it does is make things are to look at.
Man I really wish this came to Netflix. I have no prior love or nostalgia for the Twisted Metal games but this show looks like a lot of fun! Glad it didn't disappoint after the first few ads everyone saw for it were getting relentlessly mocked
I’ve never played anything twisted metal, the only thing I really knew was that it was a vehicle “battle royal” and sweet tooth Yet I really had so much fun with this series and just hearing how a majority of the fans of the series loved it too makes me happy I would really love for a revival of this IP and I would love to check out the series now
"I always get mad when youtube doesn't put my videos in the subscription box" I am fairly certain now that, that is a myth and it is people confusing their home page with their subscription page.
I knew nothing about twisted metal before the show but i loved the show so much. I then decided to play through TM1 for ps1 and had a fun time. Im really hoping for a season 2
Great job with collaboration from you and rebeltaxi reviewing twisted metal Video game tv show on peacock + i cant wait to see more videos from you and other people and keep up the awesome amazing spectacular work on your youtube channel and also videos as well
Xavier is basically Pans comic book fanboy little brother and pans the older stoner brother of xavier who wont stop talking about his panty and stocking ship art at dinner.
The show was a little bit disappointing at first to me, but that was mostly wishful thinking that we'd get the over the top gritty edginess of Black and 2012. It actually does a decent job of emulating the tone of 1 or 2, thankfully without getting too entrenched in 3/4's bullshit.
Legit had chills when I realized she was wearing a racer helmet while she was using the blowtorch and finally put together that she was Twister the whole time. lol
I hope if this leads to more games they don't make them strictly follow this show's interpretation of Twisted Metal. It's well made but I'm not really enjoying the whole thing. But I do really like certain parts.
Never played these games much growing up as sweet tooth used to scare the fuck out of me 😭 but the show definitely looks cool, and I hope to watch it eventually so I can hopefully help the show get views and a season 2!
I agree with what you said about filming that final car scene at night but in terms of the crewing required to shoot at night I think the budget maybe didn't allow for it. You have to set up so many more lights and find creative ways to light a scene. It's almost easier to set it up for during the day especially when you'd have to move everything to film the cars.
I liked the Twisted Metal show way more than I thought I would. I never actually got to play the games as a kid, but the burning clown always looked really badass. Having seen the show, Sweet Tooth was the absolute stand out for me.
I remember in July when I broke down and got a Peacock subscription, just so my friends and I could marathon this show for a weekend. Was both pleasantly surprised and had fun naming all the references. Hope it does get a season two, and a physical release soon so we can support it even when Peacock dies.
The character switch shocked me as a kid. I liked Hammerhead. And thought it being to guys in sunglasses was cool. Then Hammerhead was a old woman😂 the next time I saw it.
I'm sorry to be a huge mcu simp (especially with the overall quality rn ik), but I hate how "mcu humor" is just a blanket term for comedy people don't really like even if it has nothing to do with Marvel.
@@GodzillaMendoza Listen, I love Twisted Metal. It's a fun time just destroying cars. However, as a deep storytelling narrative, Last of Us is far better. You don't have to like that argument, but it is truthful.
Look beyond the cool references and us finally getting a Twisted Metal show, the show IMO isn't great. Although I do have hopes for the second season as it may actually be a Twisted Metal show. As it stands for the first season i give the show a 4/10. Episode 6 was the epitome of all my issues with the show.
14:10-14:16 That genuinely killed the hype I had for Daredevil since episode 6 is basically just that and it got on my nerves to point I wanted to stop watching but had to be convinced by my sister to give it another shot

Well it's also on Paramount+ thankfully because I can't get Peacock in Canada.
@@RCDW Well Twisted Metal will propably air on SkyShowtime here in Poland. SkyShowtime FYI is a hybrid of Paramount+ and Peacock.
@@maciekmysliwczyk5540 you better watch it! Get them Polish numbers up!
It’s not like PlayStation made the show and then sold it to peacock. Peacock put up the money to have it made. Without peacock this version of a Twisted Metal show doesn’t exist
Dont peacock had WWE rights too?
Upon hearing this review, I realized something: Twisted Metal is what Mortal Kombat (2021) wishes it was
I wrote my friend a whole essay in text format with this thesis, and they didn’t buy it. Glad other people are on my same wavelength. lol
Holy shit, you're right

Xavier and Pan?! The crossover we never thought would happen!
Well he Xavier made a few voice cameos in pan’s vids, and also appeared on his podcast, so it isn’t too surprising.
@@BugsyFogaand there videos have very similar styles so yea
It’s so good to hear that this show was binged by a lot of people. I really hope season 2 happens and the show goes full on balls to the wall.
Here’s hoping this leads into renewed interest in the franchise.
I hope this opens the door for them to make a new game
Well, they rereleased 1 and 2 so here's hoping they rerelease the rest.
And make a new game, God damn it.
I just want a season 2 lol
Please godddd
Aside from being badass werestler Samoa Joe is a big video game nerd so you can feel his passion for the role

It has chacters from 1, 2, 3, 4, Black and Head-on...
@@OrdemDoGraveto tone wise I mean
@@leviticusprime4904 its way more Head - one tone wise.
Too funny to be similar to Black in tone.
@@leviticusprime4904 it’s not tone, wise twisted metal, two and black. I think you just like the show when you named your two favorite games.
Peacock also has Poker Face which is a great mystery but also highly agreed that Twisted Metal is such an unexpected surprise. Really cool characters.
Also both had Casio watches in it
I came here to speak for poker face and your comment was a pleasant surprise
Poker Face is SO good!!!
I am so happy this show has good lighting. I know that sounds simple but too many streaming shows aimed at teens and young adults have everything so dim to "emphasize the mood" when all it does is make things are to look at.

It'll probably reach Netflix in a few years. Universal still has a comfy relationship with them.
I’ve never played anything twisted metal, the only thing I really knew was that it was a vehicle “battle royal” and sweet tooth
Yet I really had so much fun with this series and just hearing how a majority of the fans of the series loved it too makes me happy
I would really love for a revival of this IP and I would love to check out the series now
I cannot believe we got several GREAT video game movies and shows, including one for Twisted Metal… before we got a new Twisted Metal lmfao
Xavier and Pan Pizza in the same video? Hell yeah!
The most anticipated crossover I didn't expect to happen on this channel
It’s nice to see such an amazing adaptation made by people who were fans of the source material
I got peacock JUST for this show and it was worth it, I’m ready for season 2
Twisted Metal is a franchise I have heard of, I recognise the imagery but never actually played... I guess i need to rectify that mistake now
i never thought you two would ever collab with each other but here we are
"I always get mad when youtube doesn't put my videos in the subscription box"
I am fairly certain now that, that is a myth and it is people confusing their home page with their subscription page.
Never played Twisted Metal, but Im glad the show is good. I might have to check out both.
I knew nothing about twisted metal before the show but i loved the show so much. I then decided to play through TM1 for ps1 and had a fun time. Im really hoping for a season 2
a godzillamendzoa and rebeltaxi crossover is something I never knew I needed.
6:47 "unlike other OCs created for video game adaptations that stick out like a sore thumb" Insert Alice from the Resident Evil movies here.
Twisted metal rc was hilariously "child friendly," and it wasn't my entry but it was the one I spent the most time on
A new show to watch , my two fav RUclipsrs in own rights and more twisted metal love . Man today is a good day and appreciate the video
Great job with collaboration from you and rebeltaxi reviewing twisted metal Video game tv show on peacock + i cant wait to see more videos from you and other people and keep up the awesome amazing spectacular work on your youtube channel and also videos as well
Says he wished mackie got more funny roles. Bro he literally does watch more movies with him in it
The only other thing I know him from is Altered Carbon
The convoy was such an interesting location, all the outfits and atmosphere were so good

@Godzillamendoza do you think after the second rwby x dc movie releases you could review both movies?
Xavier can you do a review on Ang Lee's Hulk movie that film had its 20th anniversary this year
Twister and Flower Power were my favorite part of the show, I really hope we get to see them together more in the future
Legit had chills when I realized she was wearing a racer helmet while she was using the blowtorch and finally put together that she was Twister the whole time. lol

What are your thoughts on the Amazon “The Tick” series? I’ve watched it a few times on freevee and, imo, it’s better than what the MCU pushes out
wasup Godzilla Mendoza
I went into this show expecting to hate it but I honestly had a great time. I really hope it gets picked up for a season 2.
Im excited to see Hitmonkey
Just gonna leave a comment to help boost engagement 👍 great video as always Xavier
Thank you!
Have you seen transformers rise of the beasts

Its sucks, what are you talking about? Calypso's not even in it
He is though. In two different scenes. He's not in it MUCH, but he's absolutely in the show. And he'll be there a lot more if it gets season 2
@@GodzillaMendoza He shouldve been in it more from the start
The character switch shocked me as a kid. I liked Hammerhead. And thought it being to guys in sunglasses was cool. Then Hammerhead was a old woman😂 the next time I saw it.
I know very little about the games, but I enjoyed this series regardless. I do hope it gets a second season.

Poker Face! This title would be fine but you gotta put an "Except Poker Face" somewhere in the description or something lmao
Hopefully they'll make a new one soon-ish. But Jim Ryan's obsession with Horizon might stifle that.
If getting shot in the fucking head and literally just shaking it off isn't supernatural, I don't know what is xD
Idk whats more shocking that you liked the show (i did too btw) or the fact that i just found out you are married through an ad
The crossover I never knew I wanted between content creators
Awesome! This guy hasnt uploaded in years!
I wouldn't say that this is the best video game show, since I like the Cuphead show and sonic prime a bit more.
Only 1.5k views got to boost those numbers up people come on
spread the word!
AHHH shit my fav two youtubers doin a video together let's fucking goooo
Probably the show with the most mixed reactions I've seen yet
Rule of to shows don’t trust marketing and always find your own opinion
I want a Starfox Animated series by Chris Yost and Craig Kyle
I paid for Peacock just to rewatch Twisted Metal just for a chance at a second season.
12:22 THERE'S A SHOW THAT'S BEEN DOING IT FOR SIXTY YEARS ITS CALLED KAMEN RIDER FOR THE LOVE OF GOD
Hey Mendoza what’s your thoughts on guardians of the galaxy 3
I really wish they just let Samoa Joe speak as Sweet Tooth
woah, Will Arnett was actually great at it. Dude has range
I thought Will did a good job both of them together made Sweet tooth like the best character
Nah, the voice over worked perfectly. Letting both actors do their bits separately let them focus on what they're good at too.

Yeah, Last of Us says hi.
Oh don't even get me started on that show.

Listen, I love Twisted Metal. It's a fun time just destroying cars.
However, as a deep storytelling narrative, Last of Us is far better.

@@GodzillaMendozaI wanna get you started. I want a full video of your thoughts and feelings about that series. I will click on that in nanoseconds.
Every time I think about that show i think of the corridors video "what if last of us was a video game?"
My favorite part is that the form of torture in a car based universe is the dmv
Finely Xavier uploads again after all these year.
Ha i get it
Anyone out there remember the cheat codes?
Any favorites?
As someone that knows about the games, I enjoyed the show.
glad to see it wasn't a dumpster fire, twisted metal deserves it!
Oh mendoza, April fools ended months ago
Anthony Mackie is also really funny in Pain & Gain
Lets hope that One piece lice actions show Works too..
awesome video thank you for making it!

This show has an interesting premise.
Until Continental comes out*
WE GOT A SEASON 2 GAMERS WE WON!!!
I didn’t even make it halfway through…I really tried. I feel like I have to give it another shot now that you and The Escapist both gave it props.
Can we get a PS5 Twisted Metal now?
Yes twisted metal is an amazing show
Yeah, they're definitely 9th now, they just premium locked a bunch of stuff
Title is wrong because Poker Face is one of the best shows to come out this year.
I got on him about it too, cause I think "Killing It" is ummm killing it!😀
14:10-14:16
That genuinely killed the hype I had for Daredevil since episode 6 is basically just that and it got on my nerves to point I wanted to stop watching but had to be convinced by my sister to give it another shot
