Hello, welcome to Escape Reality Comics Podcast Show. This is your host, Chad with my co host, Kevin, how are you doing today, buddy?

Oh, god, I'm great. I'm so glad it's the weekend. How is Chad?

I am doing awesome little goofy today. And

I think I'm always here. So yeah,

we had a little fun before the show. Trying to get everything all set and ready to go. So today is titled to be superheroes hate ninjas on Jupiter. So today we're talking about Ninja Turtles. We're gonna be talking about the new Superman that will be coming out. Yes, the black superhero called Superman which I am super excited about. And they weren't talking about Jupiter's legacy and my pissed offness against that. So, buddy, take it away from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle reboot,

buddy. Go ahead. Yes, already. So I ever since I was I can remember. I've been a huge fan of Ninja Turtles. I watched that 80s show. Like, before I can even talk well, and I still can't talk nowadays, especially

it was was not in the 80s was in the 80s?

Yeah dude

Oh my god. I'm so old.

Well, mid to late 80s I think it started at seven. The cartoon show

Oh dude, I was two. Oh my god.

Yeah, you were two Well, yeah, so I was just a little bit older. But so this reboot, this is going to be coming out. Nickelodeon has not been happy with I guess the the viewership and the toy sales for the latest series was rise the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,

because it sucked.

What's that now? Sorry.

Because it sucked. I'm sorry, it did. It sucked

You know, I really enjoyed the pilot, like the first episode that was great. But I think the, I think ultimately is the the format where they went the SpongeBob route where it's like 15 minutes and then another episode 15 minutes, you know, within one episode, so they just don't really contain or do anything that's going in order. It's just like their own little stories. Yeah. Is your your kids watching it? Or do you guys just stopped watching it?

We stopped watching it the kids with I think the kids watch the pilot. I think they started watching. Like, I got little interested in it. But then after like the third episode, I just got bored of it.

Yeah, yeah, it I try to give it a try. I try to give it a try. Wow, I try to give it a shot. But yeah, there's something about it. There's something off the voice voice cast is amazing in this version for Rise of the TMT but yeah, there's some off about it and

TNT what?

TMNT, sorry

TMNT, TNT.

TNT. Boom. Ninja Turtles. No TMNT Sorry, I was abbreviating. So I don't always have to keep saying Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But no that you know honestly, the once I started seeing Rise of the Ninja Turtles toys in like 99 Cent only stores. I went Uh Oh. You know? I mean, like if I'm seeing them in 99 cent stores. That's not a good sign. Exactly. You know, I think the 2012 CGI ninja turtle series. That one was very popular and way more successful. Oh, gosh. Yeah. I'm actually watching it right now with the kids.

I like the animated show. Not the rise. The rise sucked. The one that had before that was I thought it was awesome. I liked it.

Yeah, I'm actually but you know, yeah, well, it but it's still fun though. I've been enjoying it. And that's that was what is missing in rise. But usually like toy sales are vital for like the shows. Oh, and I didn't really know that. That was a thing until there was a Netflix special about how they kind of focused on Mattel Mattel working on toys, and how they weren't really sure about Ninja Turtles, but they, you know, this is like in the 80s. So they were like, Okay, first things first is going to be the toys. And how are they going to look? And is this going to you know, is this going to be successful? And so I had no idea because of that Netflix show that they talked about how the toys resulted in the cartoon show, so I would have thought it'd been the other way around. But

yeah, that's how the teenage excuse me got the Teenage Mutant turtles on stuck in my head. That's how the Teen Titans got shut down. Remember though the original ad like as the animated like more like an anime than anything else of like the start of?

Oh, yeah, that was great.

Yeah, they ended because the toy sales went down. Well, the toy sales actually went to the girls. They're trying to market to boys. And I guess what happened was the girls were more intrested into Teen Titans and the boys were, and they shut down the show because of it.

Well, yeah. Interesting. Yeah. So I don't know. I don't know if Nickelodeon and Paramount are on to something still with that kind of formula. You know, where it's like, Okay, we got to have good toy sales for good viewership. Like their their percentages that they want. But, yeah, so this new possible reboot that's coming different ways. They're going to handle the turtles personalities. And so I guess they're said to be between the ages 13 and 16 years old. So that that's about usual. Right, like, and from what I yeah, I imagined so they're not really changing that up much with casting open voice actors of any ethnicity. So that's nice. I think what the last last show they had April's she was black. So yeah, at least least they changed it up in that sense. And I think even rafaelle in Rise of the Ninja Turtle Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was black.

I mean, he was a turtle. Who's green,

but yeah,

yeah, I actually agree with you. Because when I saw that, I'm like, Oh, yeah. I mean, I accepted it as him being black. You know, I was just like, Okay, he's like, you know, is it this has been always been whatever for me. But yeah, it was kind of like a given. I was like, Okay, yeah, he's black, so,

yeah, yeah, that was that I didn't even question it either. So but yeah, this new this new reboot to how they're gonna handle each of the personalities seems slightly different. So when I read a little bit from CBR.com

I hate CBR so much Oh,

Oh, you do?

Oh dude. I'll tell you why then, I'll I'll give you my reasons why at the end, but Jesus Christ they pissed me off today.

Oh, yes. Okay, that's why Yeah, like I tell you love this site.

I did until I saw what they did like did some bullshit but yeah,

that's later. So so this this is straight from their site. It says Leonardo is described as strictly business all killer, no filler, and fears that he that he needs his brothers more than they need him.

Raphael is described as a hothead, whose anger issues stem from the fact that he feels he should lead turtles and deep down is scared he won't measure up to the task.

Sorry, you did the voice. Michelangelo is endlessly curious, curious, and a goofball who resents his brother's teasing.

Finally, Donatello compared to Matt Damon from goodwill hunting, who simultaneously feels his intelligence should be appreciated and more and feared that he is isn't as smart as he think he is. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg are producing the CGI film for theatrical the Jesus Christ go ahead and finished that one, Jesus

for theatrical release. Yeah. So. So from what I got out of this, you know, is that it's not going to be a series. So it's going to be a movie. And yeah, Seth Rogen. He's done pretty good. You know what, he was doing a couple of shows on AMC. When he was a preacher. I know he was a part of preacher.

Oh, dude bring that back.

You know, I enjoyed it myself. So

oh dude. Yeah, it was awesome. I think I think I only had like a couple seasons in it. And I'm meeting the wife were like, really, really like deep in it. And then they just totally go with canceled or whatever. They just stopped. Yeah, like Jesus, but it was super good. Iliked it a lot.

And then Evan Goldberg, I'm not familiar with as as well as with Seth Rogen. But yeah, if they got those two working on it for production, I mean, yeah, for sure. Maybe they're hoping that like this will be released in theaters. And then they can make a series off of it. And then while it'll be what the toys will probably become that before this even releases in theaters. So maybe

Well theaters should be coming out. They're like guess it would right now with that they're planning on lifting the restriction on theaters. But yeah, me personally, I hope they don't because I like to be in my TV in my underwear in the watch whatever I want to watch.

I mean, honestly, Chad, you can go there just like that.

That'd be horrible. Bear looking guy just coming in with no shirt. No pants is just underwear.

I'm used to this now. It's been a year. So I'm just gonna go watch my ninja show.

Shut up, this guys is looking at me. You've got butter on my beard and just scaring some kids I'm telling you it shut up kid him watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

But yeah, I just wanted to kind of touch on the personalities before we jump subjects but you know strictly business for Leonardo at all killer. No filler.

Sounds like a cheesy 1980s movie.

Yeah, I know. Right? But Trying to figure out how just reading off of that is he going to just be more of like a straightforward jerk? Is that kind of what Leonardo is going to be gone for now?

I think he's been a straightforward jerk. I mean, that's his thing.

Right? But it was kind of like in the CGI, you know, the 3d show that I'm watching he has he does have a little bit of consideration and he orders for his brothers. Yeah, so like this new version here. Is this gonna be like he's just gonna be jerk man.

between ages 13 and 16 you know there'd be like Mr. splinter he's looking at me. Oh, don't touch me. And then touching you I'm not that Oh, God. To be more immature. Yeah, I can see that.

I guess that's more of a mature mentality. I guess you're right because of that age group. So he sees trend and push that and maybe he won't be as strictly business. Yeah, well, the reward we get Rafaelle he's a hothead. So that's always been a thing. Oh, yeah.

Big time.

And then they're talking about him being a leader still is I hope it doesn't stem still from the rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, because that was the new change. That was the big thing that that show did that a lot of people did not like is Rafael's the leader. Yeah, yeah. So I hope that this movie's not gonna do that again.

But yeah but yeah no, the real heroes Master Splinter. I don't care what anybody says, dude, can you imagine raising? Being a single dad raising? Like was it five kids? Yeah, exactly. 16 old like old twins. I mean, like, usually when you have normal parents, you know, normal kids are like, you know, probably two years or three years apart five years apart or some you know, some shit like that. But all five twins forget that shit. Master Splinter i the real hero. I don't care what anybody says. Because th y he hasn't eaten them yet.

Turtle soup.

Yeah, no just raw, just eating their head off. You know how rats are.

That's right. So, soup. What I need soup. I really want that turtle soup.

What? I've I've never craved it before. No. Okay. But yeah, go ahead. No, no, we're gonna stay in this awkwardness for a minute. We're gonna bask in its glory of just.Awkward.

Well, I haven't done that before. This is the first. this the 20th episode, You know.

this is going to oh Yeah, it is our 20th. Don't even try to change the subject. Don't even. But it is our 20th episode. That's really cool. I like that a lot. Yeah, I

just gotta had to just change it up a little apparently.

Yeah, you know, we're just gonna pass on this, you know, cuz I'm just gonna remind you that the awkward thing you just trying to do at the end there. It was just let's just take a minute your remind everyone about that. Okay, so let's move on. Are you ready?

I suppose so.

Yeah. Okay, so the WB's black Superman. So let's move on to the black Superman is coming on. So, I mean, I want to say that Michael B. Jordan is gonna play the black Superman. I want him to play the black Superman. I'm excited for it. But it's just heavily rumored and nothing's really saying wb is not saying yes, Michael B. Jordan is playing black superman. But here's the thing, and I cannot wait for the news. Like for everyone to find out. I'm gonna be doing a tik tok about this. I'm gonna see so many racist going crazy over this. So everyone was thinking that Jared, you know, Michael B. Jordan, not Jared, Jesus Christ. Jesus, Jordan. Everyone's thinking that Michael Jordan will either be playing as Vel-Zod. He's a black Kryptonian, whose parents were executed by the Krypton courts before the planets destruction. So I was actually sent over to earth but his whole life. He's been basically raised in this spaceship tube thing. And he's literally scared of open spaces. So that's a nice little extra element to the whole factor. Or they are thinking Michael Jordan might be playing as Kevin Ellis. Now it's a different character. He is the Superman on his Earth. So Kelvin Ellis is a Kryptonian President of the United States on a different Earth in the multiverse on his earth. He became Superman in addition to be in the president, so he's both right on his universe that's his earth, He is the Superman. So I guess, WB confirmed that the black Superman will be Kal-El, as in Clark Kent. So they're saying basically, Kal-El, what they're kind of suggesting is that Clark Kent is going to be the black Superman, Michael B. Jordan playing Clark Kent. So here's the thing. I think this story is the rile people up. I don't think this is really going to happen, but I could be wrong. But because a lot of people don't know this, but Kevin Ellis is Kryptonian. His name is also Kalel, but there's a difference. There's no hyphen in the middle. So like Take for instance, Kalel for Calvin Ellis is K A L E L, right. There's no hyphen. But Clark Kent's name is Kal-El with a hyphen in the middle. So it's K A L hyphen E capital E L. so very interesting. Yeah, so it's definitely gonna be different. I think this is a story rile people up, because some white people are racist. Believe it or not. I know it's shocking, but it's just how it is. So, where you have to say I'm, I'm excited. Personally, I'm excited to see where this is gonna go. Because I haven't read Calvin Ellis storyline. So I'm hoping he's gonna be casting. I want Michael B. Jordan play because he's a damn good actor, Michael Jordan, I hopefully we would play Superman regardless of who you're supposed to playing either Vel-Zod, Clark Kent or Kevin Ellis or otherwise, I don't care. I just want to see pissed off racists. That's all I want to see. That's the that's the true underlying the whole thing. Just wants he pissed off racists, or even purists. Not even not even not just racist also purists that think that a character has to be either, you know, whatever, whatever. Like, for instance, like you go on tik tok. You see, like a lot of cosplayers and black cosplayer cosplaying as Wonder Woman or Superman and a lot of freaking comments on there saying, oh, Wonder Woman isn't black or Superman isn't black? Yes, he is motherfucker, cuz goddamn, he can be anything he wants.

Why didn't you touched on that on Tik Tok? I thought he replied.

I was so pissed. Yeah, it was about I mean, she is so good. I don't know her name. And I'm sorry about this. But she was basically cosplaying as Wonder Woman and someone actually put an ignorant comment saying that one isn't black and there is a black Wonder Woman, and it pissed me off. I went off on a big ol rant

Okay, so I thought okay, yeah, she looked great to that costume.

So Oh, yeah, perfect. I mean, she she's awesome. I don't remember her name I can probab y look at her name and put on Fa ebook and actually put her on ur videos on one social media sites but you'll definitely see it on tik tok under E.R. C mics just search in E.R. Comics n tik tok and you should find i . So, I'm gonna be talking abo t why I'm so ticked off at basic lly every single CBR bleeding ool news, like talks about comic books and nerd related nerd ne s. Right? Let's talk about Jupiter's legacy. So it's ou . So it's out. It went out t chnically yesterday. On the seve th right? God damn it. Guess what? CBR news and bleeding coo is doing

What do they do?

freakin spoiling it dude. I'm telling you, I don't understand like we try in our like on my Facebook page on social media. I try not to give out like spoilers at all. If I do give spoilers I'm going to give it like a warning disclaimer. But there's gonna be spoilers in this thing. So don't listen to us. Dude, I'm telling you. I hate spoilers. so goddamn much is ridiculous. So Jeepers, like it just came out yesterday. And they're already talking about the freakin finale already. So yeah, just Oh,

I think I think the problem too, is that Netflix is a different kind of schedule. So they just put it all out. They put the entire show out. So that's why

I understand that. But the thing is, okay, so here's the thing. So like, when we talk about like, what's going on and like, say WondaVision or what's going on with Disney plus, right? So we usually give people like to Wednesday, you know, we just kind of space it out. Then we talk about it or if we do talk about it, we we space it out. Right? Well this is it because normally people usually like when it comes to one episode. People use listen to like, was it three, five days, maybe you know, maybe at most a week, but generally speaking usually takes three days, right for people to watch it within three days, so that we give at least three days. God dammit. A whole season. Jupiter's legacy came out with a whole goddamn season. Give us a week or two. I mean, Jesus Christ. I mean, yeah, I can go on and on. But they already read an article about the freakin finale. And it drew me Freaking off the walls. Are you kidding me? This is stupid. I know. I already hear people you don't have to click on it. It doesn't matter. Just hold off a minute. Jesus Christ you don't have to give up the finale as soon as it comes out. Like oh, anyways, so speaking of Jupiter's legacy, it is Saturday so it Jeepers legacy is actually going to be the comic of the week.

Hurray what a coincidence.

I know. Right? Like who planned this out. So once again, it is a you know, it's gonna we're gonna be talking about Jupiter's legacy and with dramatic music, so you guys enjoy this hopefully. Yeah, we use this one before, but I like

Sheldon Sampson's dreams about a mysterious source of power lead him, his brother Walter, and a group of loyal followers on a quest around the world. What they discover sets them on a course that will wrench a family apart and alter the world's political stage! Decades after their journey, Sheldon and Walter are superpowered legends, world-renowned for their heroism. But the offspring trained to live in their image have fallen desperately short. Rocked by one public scandal after another, Chloe and her brother Brandon are a dishonor to the generation before them. The rift reaches its breaking point when one branch of the family overthrows the government and struggles to rule at any cost - while the others must flee for their safety. But when the failures of the corrupt leaders catch up to them, the world hovers on the brink of collapse and the hidden heroes must emerge to take back their legacy! All righty, well, that is all the time we have today. You guys have a wonderful day. wonderful night. wonderful evening. To the glass of Marlo to the cup of coffee you have in the morning. You know, but in reverse. or maybe not

or turtle soup right

turtle soup and just bask of Kevin's awkward joke at the very end of turtle soup. Cuz he's craving it apparently. You guys have a nice, wonderful day. I mean, hope you guys will see you guys on Wednesday. And goodbye. Bye bye. Thank you for listening to E.R. Comics podcast show. Tell us how we did.
