As someone who occasionally saw you on collider I’m so glad I found your channel and have been listening to your podcasts for a while now. Super entertaining keep up the good work!
That Winston announcement gave me great memories of when yall took Josh Macuga to Halloween Horror Nights. To this day the funniest video I have ever watched.
Winston was on point with the idea that we haven’t had an avengers lvl movie yet. After watching wandavision and multiverse of madness I truly think that the show and the movies should have been used to set up a team up movie where Wanda is the villain.
How terrifying Loki makes Kang sound almost makes me forget how dirty he was done in Quantumania and that’s probably the most impressive thing about this episode
I still don't know if that variant was really THE kang the conqueror, or if victor Timely is going to become kang prime, or if he who remains was kang prime. Theres still so much fucking confusion with this character that they'd need a season 3 of loki to explain it all. I love the show but very disappointed in the explanation of what the council of kangs goal is exactly and whos kang prime .
I also think Marvel needs to have a movie to bring things together again. I don't find all of this stuff hard to follow, but until there is a movie that will essentially solidify which story elements they are actually going to run forward with, I am not allowing myself to invest in any of it. The jump from WandaVision to Madness made me feel like events in WV may not be as significant as they seemed. Also when you factor in the ish show that DC has become, in that regard, I think Marvel would absolutely benefit from having a flick to bring things together....and soon.
Oh man, I certainly hope you put that Winston video here instead of Patreon. I need to see what Winston is like when he's scared lol. It sucks that we'll have to wait until next year, but I have a feeling it'll be worth it lol. As for Loki season 2, I thought the premiere was awesome. I wasn't really that confused, but I definitely had to pay attention. Ke Huy Quan is a very welcome addition to the show too. It seems like this season will finally lead the MCU more into the overall Kang storyline, which is one of the things the MCU needs right now in addition to more modest budgets, more practical effects, real locations, better scripts, and much more real-looking CGI and green/blue screen when they're needed. When it comes to The Marvels, the SAG strike better end soon because that movie is seriously gonna need the marketing push from the cast. I don't know if it it'll do well otherwise. And while we're still on the subject of superheroes, I really want to see Gen V, but I still have to watch The Boys first whenever I get a chance. They seem like my kind of shows.
I work in development for Universal, even got to meet Mike in a break room when I was out at USH back in January. Would pay good money to see ya'll come to Orlando and get Winston strapped on to Velocicoaster and do HHN with the extra number of houses🤣🤣🤣
re: The Marvels. i think it's going to be quite good. like, i'm legit ready [me and my geek sister] for opening night. my concern - and this ties back to what you guys were saying earlier - how long before we see them again with the bigger avengers style team? okay we saw Giah in Secret Invasion ... how long before she shows up again? i'm remembering Civil War which was kinda Avengers 2.5; that kinda vibe. maybe not a full avengers film YET but something that has to bring Kamala and Monica and Carol back sooner than later.
I’m loving everyone coming back slowly but surely!!! I’m still waiting for Steph to come back to Sith Council!!! And Where’s Roxy now??? I saw her on Reel Rejects just the other day!! great show!!!🔥💯🔥‼️ #2fingertoots4Eva
Really enjoyed Loki E1, and Kristian I'm 100% Coy here and I was you a few weeks ago. I didn't even watch the trailers for Gen V but I was like "Ehh do I really care about a college/drama in The Boys universe?" and then last week it dropped when I was bored and I saw some quick headlines singing its praises and checked it out and holy shit is it a fun wild ride that's really well written.
First watch, Blue Beetle was just pretty OK for me. Second watch, was with a friend who is familiar with all the comic book lore and pointed out a bunch of cool stuff, and it was a lot more fun learning all the things they put in for fans.
i dont know if it's your mic or someone else's mic, but it's super hot. you can hear feedback/static. it's been like that the last couple of shows, I have to turn the volume way down. just a heads up.
Don't know why but I got the feeling ob is gonna be a secret villain or turn evil. The way he kinda turned serious when hearing the timelines were branching . It's so great to watch really good marvel content after the duds we have been getting
Really enjoyed Loki S2 Episode 1 , it’s unfortunate that you guys say the next episode sucks but hey if 3 and 4 are hits I’ll take it. I hope you do Reviews for Gen V , it’s pretty damn good for a spin-off show.
I have to say something about those books finally, months(I think!) ago kristian bumped them off center while laughing and I haven’t not noticed them since
What's missing from MCU is Kevin Feige in public presence, and leading the connectivity of MCU seires & movies. I feel bad for The Marvels, not so much for Brie Larson, but for Teyonah Parris aka Monica Rambeau & Iman Vellani aka Mrs Marvel. There characters are going to suffer more if The Marvels underperforms (which i think it will since it's not tied to Endgame).
Hahah I mean kind of. I said to Winston "If we reached 1,000 patrons by end of month, would you go to Halloween Horror Nights?" He said "You would have to pay me enough that it is worth it ha." We talked about how much that would take. He agreed and I said ok let's do it. If his doctor for his leg clears it for this month and we hit 1k we will do it. If not, 2024 baby!!
I think Marvel gets lumped into DC box office failures to say there is super hero fatigue. GOTG 3 and Spiderverse were bonafide box office hits this year.
Winston going from absolute horror about the Patreon stuff to absolute hilarity when Kristian came up with the idea of Coy having to shut up for 2 days just made my day ! Edit : Just realized the time stamps Winston still scared, & yup Winston still scared ! That shit is hilarious !
@@TheKristianHarloff That sucks. Although it makes sense he’s in a quaint area considering he gets scared so easily. Lol Does he still cover the industry or is he in a new profession?
I had to abruptly stop watching this video when you began talking about your feelings on episode 2. I wish this had just been about episode 1. It's also why I don't watch your non spoilers on the first 4 episodes. I don't want to hear any review or feelings on an episode I haven't seen yet. I was a bit disappointed that you even said anything about episode 2 in this video. I had no idea it was coming. I"ll have to wait until the end of the series now before I watch your videos on it.
Awesome! show today! Had great convos and laughs. I love that all three of you are back! And don't feel bad Winston I only hate zombies and I punched one out in a haunted house as well too!
Really like watching the show but I think Im going to avoid your guys conversation of Loki until we reach episode 4, because Im hearing your guys perspective as people who have seen 4 episodes and not like me who is just at episode 1 and its just different, the things that Im trying to figure out on the show have already been answered for you and I can tell from the discussion that you guys had today.
ya know maybe it's not good thing i mainly listen to the show cuz the last couple times i actually watch it's like watching kung fu theater 😂😂 audio n you're guys mouths are not in sync
Idc how much all of us nerds like the show,’average viewers like my mother and sister are so confused by this multiverse shit that they are about to drop the MCU altogether. It’s confusing to most viewers.
Loki is by far the best MCU series, the attention to detail, directing and acting is just on another level. There are actual stakes in this show, the dialogue is so sharp.
As a general viewer, thought loki was quite entertaining. The shorter run times on the episodes that are engaging is getting quite annoying. I think we’re loki succeeds is where Ashoka generally lacked. The cast chemistry playing off each other and engaging dialogue.
The Patreon "stunts" reeks of the workplace bullying that you put Josh Macuga through Kristian. As a survivor of that situation, I almost took my own life, I'm probably going to have to remove myself from the channel. I sort of did that back in the Collider days when you were subjecting Josh to those practices. Workplace bullying is a serious problem the world over. In New Zealand, with only a population of 5 million people, 1 in 5 workers are bullied. With all your talk on mental health, you might want to talk to someone that works with people in this space before you go too far with this. My challenge to you is, since getting the Patreon numbers up is mainly for your benefit, have your co-hosts come up for "stunts" for you to do... A good leader doesn't ask their followers to do something they wouldn't do themselves. Perhaps make it a benefit a high Patreon level donator can do. Update: I found the section so distasteful after I went back to the vid, I had to skip to the next timestamp.
I am sorry you went through this and no it is not just for MY benefit my man. Winston came up with a price that would help him financially and the patreon is so I can afford my staff and do more things. I don't have Skybound. Kast media FUCKED me with over 20k that I am owed. I want to do more than just what we are doing. I look at other patreons that have grown, they have done similar. EXAMPLE Frank Alvarez is not the one who runs Basement Yard and he does the stunts all the time. I HATE what you went through and it makes me sad but I do take offense with the fact you are calling this bullying. It is incorrect and hurtful. It is not accurate. If I forced him into it and told him I would no longer have him on the channel, then I agree. But this is not the case and I am very hurt by this comment but I do understand where you need to step back but this is really unfair and untrue. But thank you for sharing your feelings.
Hey @andrewcook3983, I'm sorry that you went through that. Note: I had a choice and have never done anything here that I didn't agree to. I gave Kristian what I would be willing to do it for so you don't have to worry about me. Including the fact that if I don't get a medical health clearance from my surgeon, I will have to find another marker just in case. I hope you don't leave the channel and I hope that you are doing better brother.
@@TheSwaggyBlerd Cheers for the thoughts Winston and the explanation. The straw that broke the camel's back for me at work happened 8 years ago, and I have not worked a day's paid employment since. I recently turned 60. So perhaps you can see why I might be hypersensitive to something that appears to even be close to bullying - laughing at another person's discomfort - hence such a strong reaction in the comment. If it was Kristian's discomfort that was being laughed at, then things might be different for me as the power levels would be inverted, he is, in effect, your boss on this show after all. And his name is on the channel. I was having high middle level anxiety feelings and paused the vid quite close to the start of the section, to make the comment and changed it a few times. It's been over 48 hours since I wrote it and the feeling has gone down but not completely gone away. I don't know how similar what I went through is to what Jeff Sneider is currently going through, but I certainly see some familiar themes and feel for him greatly. I do worry about what you are about to do as these sorts of stunts can go quite wrong. Mark Ellis ending up in the ER during the Collider days is one example that jumps to mind. And people take their work home with them, so it could end up impacting significant others. RUclips is my safe place, where I go to escape from a very unkind world. I just have to curate the things I watch to protect myself. I've watched Kristian since the Toad Hop days .This is the second time I've stepped back. I hope you both travel well.

Theres still so much fucking confusion with this character that they'd need a season 3 of loki to explain it all. I love the show but very disappointed in the explanation of what the council of kangs goal is exactly and whos kang prime .
Winston, having the same reaction to fear as I do, is hilarious!!!
You touch me, I'm swinging.

Freaking love this episode. My favorite crew discussing my favorite Marvel show. Here's to a great Season 2!
Thank you!
Winston's expression through the Patreon intro is classic!
The best!
Great to see everyone back. Hope you get to have Winston go to Halloween Universal Studios this year. Enjoyed the show
We will need a big flow by the end of the month but 2024 is def possible!!!

You gotta get that background music from your Exorcist out of theater reaction on the show. That was hilarious. 😂 Good stuff sir!
Glad you enjoyed
Loki explained Kang's plan better than Quantumania did.
True
Gen V is fantastic and it's wild that it and Loki drop on the same day. Comic related stuff isn't dead folks, it's just getting crazy!
i dont know if it's your mic or someone else's mic, but it's super hot. you can hear feedback/static. it's been like that the last couple of shows, I have to turn the volume way down. just a heads up.
Thanks, I will adjust
Also it’s just great to see a show that isn’t 100% shot in the void
4:56 lol . Winston!!
HAhaha
Winston and Steph getting scared would be a must watch video!
Hahah agree
The trio is BACK!!!!! miss this show
Yup!!
you need a live C&C live stream marathon to get Winston to the promised land
We just might have to do that!!
Well, you sold me. I’m a Patreon member again!
Welcome back! We are going to be doing A LOT of fun updates!!
Owen Wilson is more and more becoming a comedic legend, that way he carries himself is so funny. He doesn't even have to speak and I'll laugh.
His timing his epic.

Gen V is on par with the boys for me so far, really enjoying it.
I was going to start and instead I watched Beetljuice and finished The Lost Boys.
@@TheKristianHarloff hahaha can't fault those choices but I would definitely give it a watch especially if you liked the boys
I see Winston is getting that Josh Macuga treatment.

I hope you both travel well.
Please don't talk about the shows that haven't been broadcast yet, even impressions without spoilers can ruin the experience.
We will try our hardest but I understand!
Thanks @@TheKristianHarloff, that's all we can ask. :)
