What's up? Enthusiasts. Welcome to the Nerder Dome. You are listening to I Am A Nerd, where we celebrate nerdy things old and new with our like minded peers and you. I'm your host, Direct Edition, and today we are talking about. Captain America, Brave New World. I have here with me the symbol of infinite and boundless chill, Zero Cool. 

What's up, Zero? What's up, what's up? I like that, boundless. Infinite and boundless. Boundless, I like that. So we just got out of Captain America, Brave New World, and if you've been following along these last few weeks, we've been leading up To go and to see this film sort of catching everybody up if you're not familiar with a lot of the comics or the movies Or you know, and you don't want to go watch 35 films 35 [00:02:00] If you don't want to go back and watch 35 even even I don't think I have enough chill for 35 35 35 is a pretty big number and we figured we'd try to catch you up enough to where you wouldn't go into Captain America Brave New World completely blind or not realize what's going on. 

Cause first and foremost, a lot of people find it intimidating the amount of history let alone the comics, but the movies themselves have already established at this point. Yeah. No doubt. And not just the movies, you got the TV, you got the animated now with the what if, for anybody that's a lot to keep up with. 

It's almost like we're in a, how would you call it, a pop culture saturation point. Oversaturation. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Because you just said 35 films. But that doesn't include all the Marvel shows, it doesn't include all the animated shows, it doesn't include all the comics, I mean there's just so much out [00:03:00] there. 

The good thing about a lot of the MCU is, you don't have to necessarily be an expert just to go in and enjoy the films. Right. And that's been a real, probably a big boon to the Marvel and Disney brand, making these movies accessible to Comic book fans who have been here from day one years and years, but also making them accessible to Your everyday person that comes off the street and just wants to enjoy a film, right? 

It's great So that's one of the reasons why I think Marvel's enjoyed such success In this realm, especially in the MCU and on TV and the films is that they've done a really good job of making it So everybody that sits in the theater can enjoy it without having to be an expert, right? And, and I think in our, over these last few weeks, we pretty much said, if you've watched Endgame and Falcon and Winter Soldier, I would say, then you're ready for Brave New World. Yeah, I, I believe so. And I mean, [00:04:00] really, you're talking about Endgame, there's only One sequence that I think is really applicable to this movie here and I'm sure at this point everybody's seen Endgame and that's where Steve Rogers, played by Chris Evans, passes the mantle over to Sam Wilson, you know, so that part right there being the launching off point of Sam Wilson as Captain America, I thought was a pretty good stepping stone for a new character and going into the new phases. 

Now, Let's be honest, everybody's not really enjoyed or gotten behind all of the new phases of the Marvel Universe. But, but you can't keep going to the well with the same characters and saying you've got to have some, some fresh new characters, some fresh new ideas, some, some different takes on. Let's say old source material. 

So, I thought that sequence in Endgame was very good as far as [00:05:00] explaining why Steve Rogers wasn't going to go ahead and carry the shield anymore. Yeah. It made total sense. Yeah, yeah. And when he gave it to Sam instead of Bucky, I thought that that was the right choice at that time as well. Agreed. Yeah. 

And in another sense, real life actors age out. And even Anthony Mackie, who plays Falcon, or New Cap. Has said that he can only see himself playing this role of Captain America for another 10 years at most. I mean at some point this this type of filming, this type of scheduling, this type of regime to stay in shape. 

I mean it really takes a toll on these actors and these actors by the time they hit it running and in their prime, you've only got so long left before they can you know Continue on or, or move on to something else. So you're only going to get so much time with these, with these personalities playing these characters. 

So it's very important to introduce new ideas and new characters. [00:06:00] Wouldn't say as often as possible, but as, as organically as you can to get, to maintain the momentum of the, the universe itself. Gotcha. Now, before we jump into this, I guess we're going to try to keep it as spoiler free as possible. Good luck with that. 

I know how you guys are about your spoilers and you know, don't come for us with pitchforks just yet. Just remember though, we just saw it and it's been out for two days. So if you haven't been spoiled already, well, yeah, that's, I was like, we got, I got to get in here and see this as quick as possible because not even talking about us just spoiling it in conversation, because this episode is not going to air until Wednesday. 

So, by that time, it's almost a week since the movie has been out. A week out. And I mean, if you haven't seen it by then, what you waiting on? Um, but, just even going to YouTube and looking up a video game. [00:07:00] I'm getting pop ups for, you know, let's explore the, the end credit scene in Captain America Brave New World. 

I'm like, nope, nope. Can't do it. Nope. Turn us off. But, um, first thing I wanted to say, a couple of things before we try to keep this spoiler free. The first thing I wanted to say is, there was no shortage of people, I would say it was like a review bomb. And when I say this, a quote from Denzel Washington kind of comes up to me, where he was being interviewed by a reporter. 

And he said, the thing about reporters nowadays is no one's looking to get the information correct. They're just looking to get the information out first. Fast enough, yeah. And that kind of scene, well like, cause I'm on TikTok, and a lot of the stuff hitting [00:08:00] TikTok was, um, people saying how disappointed in the film that they were. 

And there really wasn't a reason that they could give. It was just, oh I'm disappointed in this film. I thought it was going to be better. And just left it floating in the evening. And it's fine to have an opinion. It is. It's totally fine to have your own opinion about whatever the hell we're talking about, whatever the hell's going on in cinema, whatever's going on in the world. 

Right. But if you're going to put an opinion out there At least give us a reason why. That's what I'm saying. That's, that's the only reason I want to know. And if that reasoning makes sense to me, then either I'm going to agree or disagree with you. But if you're just coming out and saying, Oh, I didn't like it because it was dumb. 

And let's be honest. There were a lot of people that were not satisfied. With Anthony Mackie taking on the role as the new Captain America. Yes, you're absolutely right. And with today's society, it's [00:09:00] quick to go out and try to tank a movie or a video game, whatever, by review bombing it, the hell out of it beforehand. 

Which makes no sense to me, because you know what? You have no idea what's going to go on in that particular piece of, of You know, entertainment. Why would you go ahead and try to sabotage it from get go just because you're mad because a certain person is playing a certain character, a certain scene is not happening exactly the way you thought it should go. Or it's not staying true to the comics. Let's, uh, absolutely. Let's be honest. If we all got these great ideas, why aren't we all just producing movies left and right? There you go. You know. It's great to have an opinion, but I mean, come on, let's take what we're given and let's look at it from a point of view that I might learn something from it. 

And I'm not saying, listen to our opinion or listen to our review. Or, or what? Oh, I would be the last one that I would listen to. . Let me just be honest and put that out there. Right now, I'm the last person that I would [00:10:00] listen to. If anything we drive home today, I would say see it for yourself and make your own judgment about it. 

Make up your own mind. Don't listen to everybody else. You may, you may like it. You may hate it. You may love it. You may, not ever wanna see another Marvel movie again, but. See it for yourself and it may come up with your own opinion.  

Seeing as how we've seen Captain America Brave New World. Do you feel it was good as the movie it was? Or should it have been a TV show? Or should it have been animated? 

Here's the way I'm going to look at it. And this is once again my own opinion and it's worth what it is. Right. I don't feel that Marvel can capture a good animated film. Yeah. They've tried. There's been a couple out there that are decent. But overall, Marvel does not do well in the animated world. I think [00:11:00] DC does a much better job in portraying their characters, writing nice, tight storylines, and having the animation exemplify things that you can't do in live action. 

I really think that DC is, is head and shoulders above where Marvel's at in the animated. So no, I personally wouldn't want to see this as an animated Marvel film. To go in and say as a TV series, well, we kind of already got that with Falcon and Winter Soldier to a degree. I love the TV shows, but sometimes the TV shows can drag out and there are just times where a story. 

Can be told in two and a half hours and done and be done and be totally done There are some stories out there that need ten episodes two seasons Three films, whatever. But there are some stories, and I feel that this one is just a standalone story, although it incorporates a lot [00:12:00] of other elements throughout the Marvel Universe. 

We see characters coming back from previous iterations of themselves, but I think that this particular story was told in a two hour and 30 minute film. segment. And I think it accomplished exactly what it wanted to do with that time. I don't think it needed more. I don't think it needed less. And I really don't think that that the animated route would have been a good choice for this. 

Okay. And it's like being graded in school. We always in kindergarten, we had that little boxes. Did you make ample use of your time? And I feel like cap brave in the world did that did that? Yes. And we mentioned it before where we said, yeah, Falcon and winter soldier set the groundwork. The TV show set the groundwork so they can jump right in to whatever the story was going to be and not waste time with another origin. 

And, go through all that setup process. Because yeah, if you watch Falcon and winter soldier, you [00:13:00] see , the place where Sam Wilson is trying to decide for himself as a person, was he going to be able to be worthy enough to carry An iconic symbol, right? Like the shield of Captain America and that groundwork that foundation that was laid during that series was able to Not bogged down the character in this movie You weren't having to rehash, well, is he good enough? 

Or yes, coming to grips with being the new captain America. He didn't have to worry about that because it's already done. And I thought they, I thought they did a pretty good job in that. Was I an overwhelming fan of Falcon and Wounded Soldier? No. I, I liked it for what it was. I thought that they could have done better in certain areas. 

But once again, Hollywood did not call me for my opinion. And I'm really upset about that because, you know, y'all should be calling me. But getting all of that out of the way, set the stage for a story to unfold in and of itself without [00:14:00] having to dig through the minutia of why he's questioning himself as Captain America. 

Yeah. So I thought it was great that we already knocked that out. We didn't have to worry about it. We were able to start from, first thing that we, we saw, he was in the suit. He was wielding shield and he was kicking butt. So, so. And I also sent you an article that we had talked about earlier. 

It was about a one of the initial scripts, including Eli Bradley, which was the grandson of Isaiah Bradley, who is also in this movie. And the removal of Eli Bradley from this movie, because it was overcrowded or oversaturated. And we were talking about whether or not that was a good point. 

And I felt like it was. And it was, the way that they balanced, All of the characters was very [00:15:00] well in this movie. It didn't make it seem too crowded. Everyone got There was no pointless introduction just to have an introduction. Right, right. Because at this point, Eli Bradley would not have really added a whole lot To the overall Essence of the film, I think. 

Or the theme, yeah. We would have just introduced him, hey, here he is, blah, blah, blah, blah. We've shoehorned him in. Yeah. Now there we go, and now We have this character who's kind of out in limbo, and if he doesn't get used again, we're saying to ourselves, Why the hell did I care about Eli Bradley? Right. 

Granted, he was the grandson. Great. Right, and it wouldn't have made sense because they introduced him in Falcon and Winter Soldier. Anyway, and it would have been, it would have kind of been more like, Hey, he's still here, type deal, when it wasn't really necessary. He played no part to the story. None, whatsoever. 

So, that, I'd rather them have done that in removing Eli Bradley. And then having him able to shine in another movie or TV show or however they choose to use him [00:16:00] in that sense. And I love the introduction of new characters. I love new storylines involving new characters. But don't insert characters just for the simple fact of we need to have more superheroes. 

Yeah. We need to have more faces. We need to have more of whatever. Yeah. Don't do that. Make this character have a prominent role in the storyline or just leave them out. Right. If they don't add anything to the storyline, if they don't push the storyline forward, leave them out. Take them out of there, yeah. 

There's no use for them to be there. And you could almost say this movie was packed with characters, in a sense, anyway.  

So there was, Sam, Wilson, Cap, Joaquin, Falcon, and We had Ruth Haas, or Shira Haas as Agent Ruth Matsurfa. Agent Ruth, who is Sabra, in the comics. And Isaiah Bradley, also. And then when it came to [00:17:00] villain wise, we had Sidewinder, we had, uh, Red Hulk and Samuel Stern. I'll put it that way. And if you want to know who Samuel Stern is, you have to go out there and do your research. 

You won't leave them like that, huh? Y'all got homework to do. Leave them like that. That's awesome. But I felt like they really did a good job of balancing those characters. It showcased. Cap and Falcon's, uh, relationship a bit more and see it as how they wanted or Falcon is wanting to get into this superhero game and how Cap is almost protective of him because he knows, like the output and the toll that it's going to take. 

And you, and you see that a lot and it's, this is not a, a new story. device. We always see that the older [00:18:00] mentor taking the time to, to train a younger mentee for the lack of a better word and trying to curb their enthusiasm because they really want to get, they've seen other people, they, they've witnessed whatever the mentor is doing, dah, dah, dah. 

And they just want to get out there and do it. But that exuberance, that, that rush to do things. Almost always leads them into trouble and it happened again in this movie. Now, I wouldn't say it was the same kind if you look at Joaquin Torres as the the mentee the One that's you know sidekick to Cap he's actually quite intelligent. 

Yeah, because he was already an Air Force officer. So we had already been to school He's already gotten an education and one of the things that I thought about it is like How does an Air Force officer who really, I don't know what unit he's assigned to or whatever, but how does an Air Force officer get a hold [00:19:00] of White House CCTV footage? 

Now granted, you gotta have that as part of the story because, you know, you gotta investigate why something happened or whatever. But how does this cat get White House CC, he had to have hacked it because The White House just doesn't give that out to every Air Force officer. So he had to have hacked it at some point or being able to get around firewalls and protection and crypto and, you know, whatever. 

So obviously this kid is smart. I think Spider Man named it best. The man in the chair. You remember that? Oh yeah. I'm the man in the chair. Yeah. And you, I mean, if you look at a lot of the most successful superheroes always has that backup, that man in the chair. Yeah. I really like it because especially in today's world, you're not getting around and doing things without having some kind of technology [00:20:00] acumen. 

Yeah. One of the things I heard was how much of a standout role Harrison Ford played in this movie. And in comparison to Anthony Mackie. And I felt like that was an unfair comparison. 

Absolutely, because you're talking about a pioneer, well I wouldn't say a pioneer, but almost a legendary status actor who's had 50, 60 years of experience. I mean, what, Star Wars came out with, American 76? 75. So, I mean, you've got 50 years of experience in a in an actor who can really bring characters to life on the screen. 

He could make or break your film. And I really thought that that was one of the reasons why they they Pursued and signed him for this role was he was taking up the mantle from William Hurt. We already discussed that [00:21:00] That character needed to be recast. I thought that that was a good idea and at first I was a little bit skeptical because I was afraid that Harrison Ford was going to Overshadow the entire movie just because he's Harrison Ford, right? 

And while he brings a strong presence to the film In a lot of aspects, I don't think that he actually took over the entire film in my opinion. Now, maybe that's because I wasn't going to let him mentally take over the film or that his performance in this film was well crafted to intertwine with everybody else. 

So I don't know if that's, that's just my personal take on it, how that's viewed as far as I wasn't, I knew Harrison Ford was going to be in the film. I knew what kind of actor he was. I was not going to let him outshine or not so much outshine but overshadow my own opinion of [00:22:00] what all of these other characters are doing within the film. 

What was a standout part for you for when Harrison was on screen? Uh, for me? There was a scene where, because we all knew that he became the Red Hulk, there was a scene where he was on the ship and he was fighting it. That part right there, when he's in that struggle trying to keep that monster at bay, that right there just like, that's the one part in this scene, in the movie that sticks out to me like about what, how Harrison had done. 

The type of acting that he brought to it. Right, right. Yeah, absolutely. That was a very good scene. There were plenty of other good scenes. The one scene that I thought, and I think that it kind of defines him as a character, was when we actually first saw him, and he was getting ready to go out and speak after he had been elected. 

He was going out and speaking to, I don't know, a rally or, whatever the hell it was. [00:23:00] But you saw him backstage. The woman said, we've got one minute. She asked him, you good? He's like, yeah. No problem, but you could physically tell he reached for the ten of pills that he had Yeah, but you could physically tell that he or you could tell that he was physically Maybe not quite as comfortable going out and talking this is the president of the United States and yet he was feeling anxiety. 

Yeah Whether it be from going out to speak to these people, because, you know, if you're going to be president, you better be a public, public order. Cause you're not, you're not going to get elected if you can't talk in public, but yet still show that side and to be an actor and be able to show that type of anxiety to something that is mudane. 

Although, you know, they say more people would rather die than get up and speak in public, um, but it just shows you that. Even though he is Harrison Ford, even though he is the president, he still has those same anxieties about [00:24:00] certain things that maybe all of us share. And I thought that was a, from a get go scene out the block, I thought that was a very humanizing type scene that. 

Yeah. And I think that kind of set the tone for him. And then, like you said, where he's resisting the change, where he's fighting this urge to just lash out on the ship. I think that that kind of, added to that part. So when we finally did see him Red Hulk out, it was almost like he had done everything that he could to possibly overcome this or hold it back. 

And he just couldn't do it anymore. Yeah. There was one other scene that stood out for me, and it was with Isaiah Bradley, when him and Sam were talking in jail. Okay. And dude was like, I kinda understand why this is happening to me. What I [00:25:00] didn't want to happen was to bring you down to affect you because of you because of me and that really made me think of like how my grandfather was kind of that self sacrificing I would much rather something bad happened to me than for something to happen to you. 

Yes. And I'd rather take that on myself. Right. And when they had that exchange, right. It, it hit me to where I really felt what he was trying to portray in that moment. And the most amazing thing about that is that Sam Wilson was not related to him at all. 

He was just some guy that just showed up on Isaiah Bradley's doorstep X amount of time ago. And yet they were able to form that bond. And Isaiah Bradley extended that to him, saying, I never wanted anything that was associated with me to fall onto you. And I thought that was an amazing thing because [00:26:00] it exemplifies the type of human connection that we all can have, whether we're related or not. 

You know, we always say blood is thicker than water and stuff like this, blah, blah, blah. I've come to realize that, family is more than just blood. Family can be the people that you interact with on a daily basis that have no relation to you at all, but you've come to understand them and you've come to care for their well being enough that you would sacrifice your own well being to protect them. 

So true. And I think that's, one of the highest, uh, admirable traits that I have. A person could have, so I thought it was a very poignant moment in the film as well. Yeah, it was.  

And I was taken off guard by it a little bit, but that's one of the scenes that stuck out to me, so. Yeah, Carl Lumley did a great job of playing Isaiah Bradley. I mean, just, just from the get go from each scene that he was in, he did an amazing job of bringing that, [00:27:00] that character to life. We got a good chance to see him in, in Falcon, but this, this one right here, we, we really got to see what kind of man Isaiah Bradley was. 

And it was, it was very, very well done. And I liked that relationship that him and Sam had. Where, and they touched on this quite a few times in the film actually, where we had spoke about Sam's social work earlier, and how he was helping like wounded soldiers, and Sam always seemed like that type to, to check up on you when you're down. 

And they touched on that point quite a few times, and I'm glad that they kept that from Falcon and Winter Soldier. It wasn't just like, oh I found out you're a captain, that you were the first. Captain America to experiment on, and then I'm never going to come back and see you again. Or, I'm only coming to see you because you were the first Captain America. 

I'm the new Captain America. I need you to tell me how to No, he did it because he saw a human [00:28:00] that needed help. And yes, Isaiah Bradley from Falcon and Winter's Shoulder needed help. Very, very much a character who was disgruntled, who was upset, and rightly so. Yeah. I mean, you get locked up for 30 years for no damn reason, get expirited, I'd be a little bit upset my damn self. 

Yeah. But, but, if you look at the interactions between Sam and Isaiah, It was never, you were Captain America and I'm Captain America, it was you were a soldier and I was a soldier. Yes. You're a man, I'm a man. Right. You're a human, I'm a human. Right. It was never about the titles, it was about the person and the person's needs. 

And, and he didn't just do that with Bradley. No, he did it with everybody. He did that with everybody, including That is Ross. Absolutely. And, and I'm not going to spoil it. Yeah, don't. Yeah, don't. [00:29:00] But you can almost see the comparison on how he, he would treat Bradley the same way he would treat Ross. I gotta say that. 

Even though they disagree. In, in all of the technology, we've talked about the comics where he actually did get experimented on and did gain an actual goal. extraordinary power and all that stuff. I really think that Sam Wilson's most amazing gift is his ability to just talk to people. Yes. Yeah. Maybe his, his superpower, his ability to connect with people. 

Yeah. We, we like the kicking, we like the, the punching, we like the thrill, the shield flying, throwing, blah, blah, blah, blah. But I truly think that maybe Sam Wilson's true superpower is his ability to connect with people. I can see it. I definitely can see that. So we've seen the movie, uh, let's get down to [00:30:00] likes and dislikes. 

Overall, I did like the movie. Um, I, I wasn't disappointed in going to see it at whatsoever. Um, I would even go as far as to say it that I would see it again. And I just, I feel like a lot of people are missing. The point or in comparison to other films and anything like that is going to see it as its own movie. 

And that's, and that's one of the things as fans, as people who enjoy this stuff, we got to stop doing is that we got to stop comparing it to whatever else is out there. Go and see it because you want to see it. Go and see it for what it is. Go and see it without any expectations. And I think truly think that you will enjoy this film. 

Yeah. I, I enjoyed it. I, I liked Gian Carlos Esposito's side [00:31:00] winder. I wanted more, but I know it wasn't for this film. And I think that we, we kind of discussed this, that his character, it's hard to, to put out a big name like Gian Carlo's name. Mm-hmm . In a character and only giving him. Maybe 10 minutes of screen time, but the fact that they only gave him a certain amount of screen time but left it open for his character to maybe come back to a certain film later on, I thought was really well done and it made me feel like, his talents weren't wasted, on a throwaway character. 

I think that his character provided a lot of depth. To what was going on? Provided a lot of information. I think it provided the kind of character that We would be excited to see in a different light later on in the universe [00:32:00] Typically, like I said, I don't like using a big name and as a throwaway character Yeah, and I don't really think that Sidewinder was a throwaway character in this essence But based on the amount of minutes of screen time you could almost consider him A throwaway character in the sense, but I don't think that's what they were really working towards. It subverted my expectations for what was going on, and I think it's going to turn out pretty well on that part. And when I was thinking of trying to think of dislikes for the movie, it wasn't many. 

One was just silly and I told you about this earlier. It wasn't any fault of her own, but it was just, it wasn't really a dislike. It was just distracting. And that was, uh, what was her name that played Ruth Batsara. Oh, her name is Shira, Shira Haas. Shira Haas. When she's standing next to anybody, anybody be honest, just be honest when she's standing next to [00:33:00] anybody, next to anybody in the film, it's distracting because of how short that she is. 

Who let the, who let this kid on stage? This is coming from somebody who's, who's vertically challenged themselves, but. It was extremely noticeable when they do the shot, and then she's there. Did you see that one where, did you see that one where she was standing beside Isaiah Bradley? Oh my God! I mean, come on. 

And, and, and you know what? But, Shira did a great job. Her character was well done for what it was supposed to be. They did change her character to conform a little bit with modern times. That military background they tend to insert into everything to give a reason for the way that she's trained or fight or something, yeah. 

You know, so I, I had some, some reservations about her character to begin with, but I thought that Shira did a great job with the character itself. But I, I understand where you're coming from. She's short. She, she defines [00:34:00] the name Shorty. Um, and there was, there was one other thing that we had talked about previously and I didn't see her in there. 

Uh, Diamondback. . I did not see her in the movie. I did not hear of her. Her name actually being Mitten mentioned we did see a, a secondary serpent, uh, character in Copperhead. Mm. Do you remember who that was? No, I don't remember seeing Copperhead in then. He was the one that beat the hell. Oh. Out of him in the, one of the opening sequences. 

How they continue to humanize. Yeah, humanize and humble. Sam Wilson. Absolutely. So, so yeah. So that was Copperhead. Okay. Yeah. I remember that. I didn't know that was Copperhead at the time, but I remember that scene. Yeah. But yeah, uh, what was it? Diamondback? Uh, Diamondback. Yeah. I did not, did not see her in or credited at all.[00:35:00]  

I mean, they're saying that Rosa Salazar was Rachel Layden, Diamondback, but it was in a deleted scene. So that's why, uh, that's why we didn't see her on the big screen today. In addition to Seth Rollins, we all know who is a WWE wrestler, also had a deleted scene. So there were some reshoots on this movie, we all heard about that and this and that, blah, blah, blah, blah,, sometimes those things happen where characters get cut out because it just doesn't fit the overall theme of the movie, yeah. So any last words? Zero. Whenever anybody gets a chance, I need someone to come over and explain to me how Sam Wilson without any super serum, super soldier serum, can throw a vibranium shield with such velocity that it [00:36:00] bounces around, hits a couple of dudes in the head. And comes back with almost the exact same velocity and this guy is actually able to catch it. 

He's got no superhuman strength. He's got no superhuman reflexes. How's this cat supposed to do that? That's my only question. His fighting skills, I don't question. His bravery, I don't question. His courage, get up there, roll around in the sky, do what he does. No question. Got it. I just want to know how this cat throws and catches that damn shield. 

You want to know his propensity for geometry. And I would imagine that him throwing the shield and it bouncing off of these dude's heads. Would take away a bit of that velocity, but it doesn't look like that. 

It doesn't look like that. It doesn't, you would think that as, as an object, hits another object. There's got to be energy that's absorbed. This thing's got to, hit a couple of dudes in the head and then it's gotta be slow as hell coming back. But it doesn't, it [00:37:00] looks like it's exactly the same velocity as when he threw it. 

Well, I'm, I'm going to explain it like you explained to me the soup. I'm just gonna chalk it up to the vibrating again. Got to be the Vibranium. Got to be the Vibranium. Got to be. Got to be that Vibranium Wakanda suit. Which, you know what, and that was another thing when we first saw the movie, and this might be a little bit of a spoiler, but I was really glad to see that they had changed the colors of the uniform at the beginning, from the beginning of the movie to the end of the movie. 

Okay. Because to me it kind of symbolized where Sam Wilson had actually. Completely accepted the role. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. So you see the visualization of one suit where he had had it in Falcon and Winter Soldier. Mm hmm. Cool ass suit, don't get me wrong. But you saw the change between the colors and the design a little bit from that to [00:38:00] what we saw at the end of the movie. 

And I thought that that was maybe not quite as subtle, but it was definitely a change of I want to say mentality, maybe. Okay. Exemplified in a physical characteristic. Characteristic. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. Whereas, you know, before Falcon Winters, he's questioned, da da da da. By the end of this movie, he's not questioning anything. 

He's Captain America. Captain America. That's it. Yeah. Done dealin We're good. Yeah. So I thought that that was a good little cinema twist. Cinema plot. You know. plot, whatever the hell you want, whatever the hell you want to call it. All right. Well, that's going to be it for us. Uh, we're going to go ahead and bounce this shoot around and get out of here. 

So be sure you get a chance. Go see this movie for yourself. I think that you'll be pleasantly surprised and I think it will be well [00:39:00] worth your money. Agreed. A thousand percent agreed. So. We're calling it. We're getting out of here. And remember, live your best geek life. Play games. Read comics. Watch anime. 

Geek responsibly. Peace. Peace![00:40:00]
