GG Ep 11­ Gateway Geeks Double feature I. Intro In the News Nintendo NX­ http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/nx­is­not­the­wii­us­successor­says­nintendo­ceo­36755 ● March 2017 launch making it 4.5 years between consoles ● Prolonged lack of core titles on WiiU­ no new zelda, just ports of previous titles Playstation 4.5 Neo and Morpheus ● Neo buffed hardware to support VR, among other things ● Same price as original $399, which is odd because it’s only been 2 years since launch of PS4 ● This must’ve been planned­ Morpheus was announced in 2014, PS 4 released in NA Nov 2013 New trailer for JJ Trek 3 and Paramount starting to ‘get it’ It’s OK to be unimpressed and unenthused about the upcoming Ghostbusters movie. Just don’t be a sexist douchelord. Head­canon entitlement Nuke this for next pocast? Mavel’s cinimatic universe (including TV) what they’re doing right what they could do better and what we want to see Because it appears to be a big baggaboo topic among comic book fans...Good grief. It's called the illusion of change. Marvel and DC have done this for decades. It's just like when Cap was shot, Batman's back was broken, Superman was separated into two beings of light, Spider­Man died and his body was possessed by Doc Oc, Green Lantern became Parallax, Superman died, Professor X died, Jean Grey died, Professor X became Onslaught (inhales), Ironman became a teenager,...Cap became US Agent, Cap became Nomad, Spider­Man publicly unmasked, etc. in many of these examples, executives swore this was how it was going to be moving forward. Check back in about six to nine months. I wager a bag full of "I told you so" that it will turn out that "Hydra Cap" will have been the temporary result of some villain using some sort of reality warping muffin. II. Civil War Segment w/ Josh III. Thoughts on X­Men­Apocalypse/ Marvel New Netflix Series? Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, and Blade rumor­ http://comicbook.com/marvel/2016/05/18/blade­ghost­rider­and­moon­knight­rumored­for­netflix­ series/ Loretta Lynch and Trans rights­ the could­have­been ‘X­Men moment’­ became a victory for Civil Rights. http://www.slate.com/blogs/outward/2016/05/09/loretta_lynch_defends_trans_rights_at_the_justi ce_department.html Apocalypse specifically­ apocalypse (Ancient Greek: ἀποκάλυψις apokálypsis, from ἀπό and καλύπτω meaning "uncovering"), translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, i.e., a lifting of the veil or revelation. In religious contexts it is usually a disclosure of something hidden, “a vision of heavenly secrets that can make sense of earthly realities". Apocalypse as underlying truth of all mythology ● Eschatology/ apocalypse is metaphor in various capacities­ ● En Sabah Nur, The first mutant. The alpha, and omega (as it were)­ you’ll remember the old 90s apocalypse actually had an omega symbol on his belt. Beginning and end of the greek alphebet. ● Death, Famine, Pestilence, War­ biblical horsemen­ Reveleations 1:8 & 6:1­9(for non catholics, a brief reading) IT’S CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT! ● X­factor #10 (1986)­ first appearance of Apocalypse ● Four horsemen/persons­ several incarnations of this, they are more positions on a team than people, per se ● In the movie, it’s clearly going to be ­ Psylocke, Angel, Storm, and Magneto­ because many of the horsemen from the comics have not been introduced­ Caliban, Grim Reaper, Plague, for example­ this is a limitation of film over comics. ● Why the fuck has Ghost Rider never been a horseman of the apocalypse? He’s literally based on death? Wolverine has been death, which makes some sense. Impressions/Talking Points Joe ● So many characters! YESS! You are actually doing X­Men right! ● I actually like X­Men movies more than the Avengers, there I said it. ● Poor Olivia Munn, they only gave her like three lines and she had to wear that awful 80’s unitard the whole time, got billing under Jubilee ● Never called Angel ARCHANGEL! Fuck you Sony, officially. ● Aside from makeup, they did Apocalypse right. Great demagogue, who is actually just in it for themselves. ● Wolverine, weapon­x cameo was awesome! IV. Commodity Confessions (Consumer confessions revamped) ● Overwatch free open Beta impressions. ● Petcube­ what is wrong with Joe? ● Warhammer­ Total War! V.
