9ES309: Antiauteur Afficianados
Zack Snyder scargiveth and Zack Snyder scartaketh away. That sentence is apropos of nothing other than fun wordplay with the very dumb title that is Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scargiver. Also I’m wondering just how deep the Scargiver marketing goes because as of writing this in Google Docs both “scargiveth” and “scargiver” are not showing up as spelling mistakes.
Is Scargiver a real word?
It might not be, but Scargiver is a real movie and apparently, if Jon is to be believed, is an improvement on whatever the hell the first one was called. Snyder tells a simpler story and the film is better for it. Meanwhile, our suspicions that all of these characters had stupid generic backstories are fully confirmed in the second outing into the Snyder Wars universe.
Seriously though, Scott ranks all of the major sports trophies. This discussion was the natural evolution of the PWHL unveiling their “Walter Cup” a few weeks ago. It’s pretty terrible, but might not be the worst. Major League Baseball, we’re looking in your direction. We close the show off as we have been every episode recently: by Scott and Keith catching up about X-Men ‘97 while Jon continues to have not seen a single episode.
Meanwhile over on Garbage Time – it’s more comic talk! Honestly, with Keith just blasting through heaps of Marvel comics this might be the trend for a while. This time we get into the lackluster “Fear Itself” run and we educate Jon about the glory of Red Hulk and how he definitely should not have lasted beyond that initial Jeph Loeb run. If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.
