2 00:00:23,342 --> 00:00:27,723 Welcome to the Dynamic Duel Podcast, a weekly show where we review superhero films and debate 3 00:00:27,763 --> 00:00:33,206 the superiority between Marvel and DC by comparing their characters in stat-based battle simulations. 4 00:00:33,646 --> 00:00:38,608 I'm Johnny DC. And I'm his twin brother, Marvelous Joe. And in this episode, it's a duel episode 5 00:00:38,628 --> 00:00:43,770 where we're pitting Sinestro against Magneto. And of course, this ties into our Dark Phoenix 6 00:00:43,830 --> 00:00:48,152 review from our last episode. Right, yeah. I'm really looking forward to see who'd win in 7 00:00:48,172 --> 00:00:53,022 this match because they're both insanely powerful villains who have like really... compelling 8 00:00:53,082 --> 00:00:57,626 character arcs from the comics. I know some people were expecting us to pit Magneto against 9 00:00:58,106 --> 00:01:02,169 Dr. Polaris, I think his name is, but those guys are so similar that I feel like it wouldn't 10 00:01:02,189 --> 00:01:05,672 be an interesting fight because what you'd end up getting is like a Hawkeye versus Green Arrow 11 00:01:05,712 --> 00:01:10,216 situation where the characters are identical and the match ends up being like a coin toss. 12 00:01:10,396 --> 00:01:14,600 Yeah, that's so fun. This is going to be much more interesting. Yeah, because it's characters 13 00:01:14,620 --> 00:01:18,783 with similar power levels, but with different power sets all together. Yeah, we'll get into 14 00:01:18,823 --> 00:01:22,126 more of why we think this is a good matchup later on in the episode. Before that, we're 15 00:01:22,146 --> 00:01:26,928 going to break down the news items from the past week, of which there is not much news. 16 00:01:26,968 --> 00:01:31,810 No, kind of slow. Yeah, Lobo is getting his own spinoff show on the Syfy channel from Krypton, 17 00:01:31,910 --> 00:01:36,632 which is also on that channel. And the Avengers are getting their own video game. Yeah, we 18 00:01:36,652 --> 00:01:40,994 don't usually comment on video game news, but I feel like this is a big thing to talk about. 19 00:01:41,014 --> 00:01:45,235 It was a pretty decent trailer, so there is a big lead up to it for sure. I think it just 20 00:01:45,255 --> 00:01:50,137 kind of disappointed everyone. What? Really? I guess that's the word on the street, huh? 21 00:01:50,217 --> 00:01:54,719 Yeah. We'll get into it. Yeah. But as always, our segment times are in our episode description. 22 00:01:55,039 --> 00:01:58,881 So feel free to jump right to whatever topic you want to listen to. Right before we get 23 00:01:58,901 --> 00:02:02,963 into the news, we want to give a big, huge shout out to those who have rated us and reviewed 24 00:02:03,003 --> 00:02:08,085 us on the Apple Podcasts platform. As you know, we're trying to get to 200 reviews because 25 00:02:08,105 --> 00:02:12,287 at that point we become eligible to become critics on Rotten Tomatoes and have our reviews of 26 00:02:12,307 --> 00:02:16,789 the Marvel and DC movies count toward those films official tomato meter. Yeah, we don't 27 00:02:16,809 --> 00:02:21,775 have any new ratings. We're still at 110. but we do have a few bladed shout outs to people 28 00:02:21,795 --> 00:02:26,639 who have given us reviews. Yeah, we want to give thanks to NRA 413 for leaving us a review, 29 00:02:27,039 --> 00:02:32,162 as well as Circus Loving and his sons, Harry and Tasker. You guys get a special shout out. 30 00:02:32,483 --> 00:02:36,745 Typically, we say that this show is geared toward adults because of the language that we just 31 00:02:36,765 --> 00:02:42,369 can't help ourselves from saying. It's so hard. Kids know these words nowadays, right? They 32 00:02:42,389 --> 00:02:47,564 should it. It's not what Superman would do. This episode for you, Harry and Tess, I'm going 33 00:02:47,584 --> 00:02:51,387 to try my hardest not to say any swear words. Yep, this is for you, too. It's going to be 34 00:02:51,407 --> 00:02:54,909 especially hard considering that this is a dual episode. Yeah, it's always when I get the most 35 00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:58,851 frustrated. So it's going to be a huge challenge. Yeah. Instead of the F word, I'm going to say 36 00:02:58,951 --> 00:03:05,815 Frick. And instead of the A hole word, I'm going to say butthole. And instead of the S word, 37 00:03:05,895 --> 00:03:11,836 I'm going to say snap. Oh, snap. Exactly. So yeah, thank you guys for leaving us reviews 38 00:03:11,856 --> 00:03:16,472 again. And remember Harry and Tasker, Marvel is better. What? They don't cook to the no 39 00:03:16,512 --> 00:03:23,167 prize. A No Prize is an award Marvel used to give out up until the 90s to fans. Our version, 40 00:03:23,247 --> 00:03:27,849 the dynamic duel No Prize, is a digital award that we post on social media that Jonathan 41 00:03:27,889 --> 00:03:31,831 personally draws for those who we feel gave the best answer to our question of the week. 42 00:03:32,191 --> 00:03:36,333 Last week's question was in regards to the news that the DC Universe app might be going under. 43 00:03:36,753 --> 00:03:42,095 Yeah, it was. Would you prefer to have a DC Universe app subscription or a WarnerMedia 44 00:03:42,215 --> 00:03:47,737 app subscription that only has some DC content? The television stuff, not the comic books. 45 00:03:47,998 --> 00:03:52,620 Right. We got a lot of answers, a lot of great answers. Yeah. Honorable mention goes to Jace 46 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:57,243 Crump for his answer that he would prefer to just have the WarnerMedia app because it has 47 00:03:57,343 --> 00:04:02,045 more content than the DC app and would have a bigger audience. Iranagami gave the answer 48 00:04:02,145 --> 00:04:07,628 DC Universe because he enjoys the apps, comic libraries and animated shows, provided that 49 00:04:07,648 --> 00:04:12,611 the quality is better than the CW. Honorable mention goes to Dustin Balcom, who said he'd 50 00:04:12,631 --> 00:04:16,353 prefer to have the DC Universe app because it pays for itself. If you just read four to five 51 00:04:16,373 --> 00:04:20,559 comics a month, And plus it has those extra shows. Jeremy Orr said that he would prefer 52 00:04:20,579 --> 00:04:25,042 the Warner Media app because it has a larger audience pool and therefore the price can stay 53 00:04:25,122 --> 00:04:30,365 low. Plus getting anime and other great content is just awesome. Honorable mention goes to 54 00:04:30,405 --> 00:04:35,067 James Cole III who prefers the DC Universe app because it has fantastic original content, 55 00:04:35,327 --> 00:04:40,130 over 22,000 digital comics on all your devices and television. It sounds like an advertisement. 56 00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:45,973 I think James Cole III works for DC Universe. I'm sold. Joel Seagrave also gave the answer 57 00:04:46,013 --> 00:04:51,257 DC Universe. But he would prefer it to be on the PS4 and he feels that a Warner Media app 58 00:04:51,337 --> 00:04:55,461 would be too expensive. Honorable mention goes to Jonathan Hazelton who said he would prefer 59 00:04:55,481 --> 00:04:59,665 subscribing to the DC Universe app because he doubts that there will be comics on the Warner 60 00:04:59,705 --> 00:05:04,569 Media app. Ken Johnson also said he wants the DC Universe app. There's so many DC Universe 61 00:05:04,649 --> 00:05:08,552 app people here. I know, right? I'm like really happy about that. There's so many DC fans. 62 00:05:08,573 --> 00:05:12,456 It's so weird. Yeah, it's awesome. I didn't think any of them existed. So amazing. Ken 63 00:05:12,476 --> 00:05:17,172 Johnson wants the DC Universe app. But he wants them to open up all of the DC film and television 64 00:05:17,212 --> 00:05:21,716 content instead of, you know, just putting out different things each month. And also he wants 65 00:05:21,856 --> 00:05:27,621 all of the episodes for the television shows to be released at once. That's a huge aspect 66 00:05:27,641 --> 00:05:32,546 to why I think the DC universe is not as successful as it could be. I agree. If I could binge Swamp 67 00:05:32,566 --> 00:05:37,250 Thing like in one weekend, I would much prefer that to having to wait, you know, 10 weeks, 68 00:05:37,310 --> 00:05:41,313 especially because I know it's not going to continue. So like, what's the incentive? Right. 69 00:05:41,626 --> 00:05:45,169 Exactly and the hype's all gonna die by the time the show ends. Right. Anyway, honorable 70 00:05:45,209 --> 00:05:49,013 mention also goes to Jeremy Hoyt, who said he would prefer the DC Universe app because he 71 00:05:49,053 --> 00:05:54,158 wants access to all DC content, including that terrible Green Lantern movie. What? Which I 72 00:05:54,198 --> 00:06:00,444 think makes sense. The final honorable mention goes to Caleb Elbers, who said that he only 73 00:06:00,484 --> 00:06:05,389 wants content that's good and therefore wants a dynamic dual streaming service with film 74 00:06:05,429 --> 00:06:10,635 commentaries. and shorts of the duels. Yes, I would totally pay for that. Like animated 75 00:06:10,675 --> 00:06:14,377 shorts of the duels? Yeah. Or even live action. Even live action. They do that with the Bat 76 00:06:14,397 --> 00:06:17,858 in the Sun productions. What is that called? Like superhero showdown or something like that. 77 00:06:17,878 --> 00:06:21,900 That's right, that's right. Shut up and take my money. I would totally pay for that. That 78 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,222 was a very flattering answer. Flattery will get you everywhere. But it won't give you the 79 00:06:25,262 --> 00:06:29,463 no prize this time for some reason. Because as cool as a dynamic duel streaming app would 80 00:06:29,503 --> 00:06:35,478 be, I don't think it would be nearly as cool as Gaby Mai's answer who said, they would prefer 81 00:06:35,498 --> 00:06:42,561 the DC Universe app, but only with DC Universe Online, the game, and other DC games. I didn't 82 00:06:42,581 --> 00:06:47,464 even think about that. DC has so many great video games. So he wants the app to have the 83 00:06:47,504 --> 00:06:52,306 comics and the television shows and the movies and the video games. Yes. I think a lot of 84 00:06:52,346 --> 00:06:55,748 people would switch to the DC Universe app if it came with those games too. Yeah, like the 85 00:06:55,768 --> 00:07:00,935 Batman Arkham games? Absolutely. Yeah, yeah. Congrats again to Gavi Mai for your answer 86 00:07:00,955 --> 00:07:04,757 this week. You win the no prize. And if you, the listener, want to win your own no prize, 87 00:07:05,117 --> 00:07:08,919 go ahead and stay tuned to later on this episode when we will be asking another question of 88 00:07:08,939 --> 00:07:11,921 the week. With that all out of the way, onto the news. 89 00:07:17,518 --> 00:07:24,100 Okay, so last week, like just hours before his debut on the Krypton season two opener, Syfy 90 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:30,483 announced that Lobo will be getting his own spin-off show. Is it gonna be like TVMA? Oh, 91 00:07:30,543 --> 00:07:35,285 I hope so. I hope so, why not? It's Syfy channel. I think they could do TVMA content on there. 92 00:07:35,345 --> 00:07:39,667 If they don't, Lobo should be the first one. Now I haven't actually seen the episode because 93 00:07:39,707 --> 00:07:45,149 I don't have the Syfy channel, but I have seen clips from the episode and he just looks ruthless, 94 00:07:45,389 --> 00:07:49,655 man. He looks like he's gonna be a really good Lobo. Really? And I love the character of Lobo. 95 00:07:49,715 --> 00:07:53,557 Like I still remember getting really excited when they said that Danny Trejo was gonna be 96 00:07:53,617 --> 00:07:58,739 Lobo on the Flash television series. What? Yeah, that ended up not happening. Really? But it 97 00:07:58,759 --> 00:08:03,041 would have been so perfect. Is this the first live action version of Lobo that we've seen? 98 00:08:03,261 --> 00:08:07,723 Yes. Yeah. Wow. He looks a lot like the character. It's pretty well done. Yeah. I've always thought 99 00:08:07,743 --> 00:08:12,064 he was kind of a crazy character, kind of in the same vein of like Deadpool and how wacky 100 00:08:12,124 --> 00:08:16,951 and inappropriate he is, how like un-kid friendly, you know? He's a great character for Harry 101 00:08:16,971 --> 00:08:22,375 and Tasker, you know Because he doesn't say cuss words, you know, he instead of the f-word 102 00:08:22,415 --> 00:08:27,719 He says frag and he says like bastitch a fast itch. Yeah, those are safe curse words, right? 103 00:08:28,079 --> 00:08:34,203 I guess I they don't sound like it but you know Technically, that's true. I guess the show 104 00:08:34,243 --> 00:08:39,187 is gonna be written and produced by Krypton's same showrunner Cameron Welsh I've only seen 105 00:08:39,227 --> 00:08:44,555 like the first four episodes of Krypton and it was fine Like, I'm still not too invested 106 00:08:44,995 --> 00:08:50,098 in the story of Superman's grandfather. Yeah. But, like, the production value is decent. 107 00:08:50,218 --> 00:08:53,881 Well, it's kind of like Gotham, where in that show, all these Batman villains are popping 108 00:08:53,921 --> 00:08:58,804 up, like, prematurely. Yeah. In the Batman universe. Right. And in this one, it's like all Superman's 109 00:08:58,824 --> 00:09:02,887 villains are popping up prematurely in the Superman universe. But it's guys like Brainiac, you 110 00:09:02,907 --> 00:09:07,811 know, who, of course, they were around before Superman. Uh-huh. So. And Doomsday was too, 111 00:09:07,871 --> 00:09:11,633 I guess. Yeah. Can you tell us a little bit about Lobo, for those who might not know about 112 00:09:11,653 --> 00:09:16,147 him? Well, he was a character created in the 80s, which makes sense. I think he started 113 00:09:16,167 --> 00:09:21,468 off as like a minor villain for the Omega Men. He was a space biker. Yeah, right. He's like 114 00:09:21,548 --> 00:09:27,610 Deadpool, but like cranked up to 11. Deadpool mixed with the Ghost Rider. Yeah, kinda. I 115 00:09:27,650 --> 00:09:31,671 guess you could do that. He's the last of his race. He like accidentally killed everyone 116 00:09:31,751 --> 00:09:37,033 else on his planet when he was like just a boy with like a science experiment. It's pretty 117 00:09:37,073 --> 00:09:43,199 wild. He's meant to be like an over the top character. and he's insanely strong, like Superman 118 00:09:43,239 --> 00:09:46,820 level strong. Who do you think we could pit against him in a duel episode? We've already 119 00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:51,042 used Ghost Rider against Etrigan and we've already used Deadpool against Deathstroke. Yeah, I 120 00:09:51,062 --> 00:09:54,743 don't think those would be good matches anyway. Really? I don't know, Marvel, you tell me who 121 00:09:54,763 --> 00:09:59,305 would be a good match. Maybe like the Silver Surfer, although I want to pit him against 122 00:09:59,405 --> 00:10:03,687 Orion. Yeah. So I don't know, someone like Beta Ray Bill or something, some crazy eighties 123 00:10:03,727 --> 00:10:06,928 alien like that. I don't know, I'll have to think about it. Okay, yeah, we should definitely 124 00:10:06,988 --> 00:10:12,262 do a duel episode with Lobo, maybe next year. There's no release date for when his show will 125 00:10:12,282 --> 00:10:16,604 be out. It might still be a few years away. We'll do a dual episode with him soon. Cool. 126 00:10:16,884 --> 00:10:21,526 Moving on to video game news, we got a trailer for Marvel's Avengers video game that's coming 127 00:10:21,626 --> 00:10:26,388 out. It was shown at E3 this past week. And you know what? I feel like it's getting a lot 128 00:10:26,428 --> 00:10:30,310 of hate out there, but I didn't mind it. I hate it. I think a lot of people are expecting maybe 129 00:10:30,370 --> 00:10:35,732 different gameplay, maybe something like open world. Yeah. Like Arkham. It's freaking 2019. 130 00:10:36,352 --> 00:10:42,187 I almost said the bad word. It's 2019. It's like, come on. This game does appear to be 131 00:10:42,247 --> 00:10:46,490 more mission-based than anything else. Right. And I also noticed that the character design 132 00:10:46,510 --> 00:10:51,114 was getting a lot of flack because the characters don't resemble the movie counterparts. Which 133 00:10:51,194 --> 00:10:55,797 is fine. Like the movie counterparts don't look exactly like the comic characters. Right, and 134 00:10:55,837 --> 00:11:00,761 it's not a movie-based game. So I don't mind that the likenesses are different. What bothers 135 00:11:00,881 --> 00:11:06,225 me is not so much the likenesses, but the graphics quality. It looks like something that could 136 00:11:06,245 --> 00:11:11,964 have been on the GameCube. Yeah, these actors faces are a little bit uncanny valley-y. Absolutely. 137 00:11:12,045 --> 00:11:15,667 They're a little bit frightening, honestly. Especially Tony Stark. I don't know why. And 138 00:11:15,687 --> 00:11:20,951 the writing. The writing just seems so generic. It is really bad. OK, really bad. Let's start 139 00:11:20,971 --> 00:11:26,675 from the beginning, though. So we get narration from whom I'm assuming is Kamala Khan, because 140 00:11:26,695 --> 00:11:31,638 this seems like her voice style. And Kamala Khan, of course, is Ms. Marvel. And it sounds 141 00:11:31,658 --> 00:11:35,441 like she's meeting the Avengers on this big event known as A Day, where they're celebrating 142 00:11:35,461 --> 00:11:39,844 the team. But. I guess there's some kind of attack on San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge. 143 00:11:40,164 --> 00:11:44,948 So Cap sends the team out and the action looks super cinematic. I think it looks pretty damn 144 00:11:44,988 --> 00:11:49,951 cool. All the footage used in this trailer was in game footage using the game's engine, but 145 00:11:49,971 --> 00:11:54,075 it wasn't gameplay footage. I think some of it was some of the behind the back stuff. I 146 00:11:54,355 --> 00:11:57,677 really think some of it was gameplay footage, although we don't know what the gameplay necessarily 147 00:11:57,697 --> 00:12:01,000 is going to be like. If these are just like quick time events or if those characters are 148 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,582 actually being controlled at this point, you know, right, right. The Spider-Man video game 149 00:12:04,622 --> 00:12:09,506 that came out for PS4 was similar in its cinematic style and was a mixture of Quick Time Events 150 00:12:09,606 --> 00:12:13,989 and actual open world. Yeah, yeah. Like the Arkham games. Right. How cool would an open 151 00:12:14,009 --> 00:12:17,972 world Avengers game be though? That would be so much better than what it looks like whatever 152 00:12:18,012 --> 00:12:23,296 this is. So as the Avengers are taking on the threat on the Golden Gate Bridge, we get some 153 00:12:23,336 --> 00:12:28,920 dialogue between the characters and there's a weird moment where Thor's like, there are 154 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:33,551 civilian hostages and tiny men with guns. And then Iron Man like stops everything that he's 155 00:12:33,591 --> 00:12:40,136 doing and is like, did Thor just make a joke? I think Thor just made a joke. And no, he didn't 156 00:12:40,156 --> 00:12:44,480 make a freaking joke. That was not a joke. You know? And then Iron Man gets blasted out of 157 00:12:44,500 --> 00:12:48,983 the air from like a repulsor tank. It's so poorly written. But it's so much more than just that 158 00:12:49,023 --> 00:12:54,287 moment too. It's like, oh, this looks interesting. And like, they played us. And just like, who's 159 00:12:54,328 --> 00:12:58,950 writing this? Black Widow's voice sucks. I have to say I really- All of their voices are kind 160 00:12:58,970 --> 00:13:04,293 of off. I want Black Widow to have a Russian accent. Please give her a Russian accent. It's 161 00:13:04,333 --> 00:13:08,635 who she is. I mean, and obviously she's a spy. She can speak multiple languages. She can easily 162 00:13:08,695 --> 00:13:12,716 hide her accent, but I don't think that she would. She doesn't need to. Right, not when 163 00:13:12,736 --> 00:13:17,178 she's just being herself. So anyway, we have Iron Man blasting some tanks. We have Hulk 164 00:13:17,198 --> 00:13:22,281 blasting some tanks. It looks like the main villain of the scene is Taskmaster, I wanna 165 00:13:22,321 --> 00:13:26,591 say, because he has like a skull face and a hood. It might be, you know, an alternate design 166 00:13:26,631 --> 00:13:30,553 of the Crossbones character that we saw in Civil War. Oh yeah, yeah. But he looks pretty formidable. 167 00:13:30,593 --> 00:13:33,675 There's a part where he's flying around the bridge on a jetpack and Black Widow's like 168 00:13:33,835 --> 00:13:37,777 hitching a ride and attacking him at the same time. That looks pretty cool. The camera work 169 00:13:37,937 --> 00:13:43,120 is pretty impressive, I have to say. But apparently Captain America dies when the shield helicarrier's 170 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,343 core explodes or something like that. I don't know what that fragment crystal was within 171 00:13:47,383 --> 00:13:51,705 the ship's core. It could have been like isotope 8, which is an element that they tend to use. 172 00:13:52,134 --> 00:13:55,976 in these Marvel games that's used to like power up your character essentially. Huh. Like these 173 00:13:56,036 --> 00:14:00,298 RPG kind of elements. Yeah. But I don't really think that Cap's dead. They make it seem like 174 00:14:00,458 --> 00:14:04,061 Cap's dead, but I'm pretty sure he would survive a crashing helicarrier into the water, you 175 00:14:04,081 --> 00:14:08,423 know? It's water. It's just water. It doesn't hurt. He was trapped in ice, which is harder 176 00:14:08,463 --> 00:14:13,686 than water. Exactly. But yeah, the game really makes it seem like there's some kind of fallout 177 00:14:13,746 --> 00:14:17,649 from this incident where the Avengers have kind of disbanded and then they have to unite once 178 00:14:17,689 --> 00:14:22,075 again to take on this new threat. So in all, this trailer has been kind of like a mixed 179 00:14:22,115 --> 00:14:27,940 bag with some interesting action bits, but also some really poor graphics and dialogue and 180 00:14:28,060 --> 00:14:32,123 story elements too. Would you buy it? Well, yeah, I absolutely would buy it if I had a 181 00:14:32,163 --> 00:14:35,745 platform to play it. That's one of the reasons why we don't comment on gaming news too much 182 00:14:35,806 --> 00:14:41,009 on this podcast is because neither Jonathan nor I are gamers anymore. We used to be, but 183 00:14:41,049 --> 00:14:45,933 we kind of dropped off after the Wii era, I guess. Yeah, I just sold my Xbox One S. Really? 184 00:14:46,173 --> 00:14:49,719 Yeah. I was thinking about getting a Switch for the Ultimate Alliance Marvel game that's 185 00:14:49,739 --> 00:14:54,000 coming out exclusively to that platform. Yeah, that's interesting. I'm still wondering why 186 00:14:54,020 --> 00:14:57,842 that's a Switch exclusive. I'm not sure. In all, I'd be really interested in hearing what 187 00:14:58,082 --> 00:15:01,503 our listeners think about this trailer. Those who are gamers and, you know, are a little 188 00:15:01,523 --> 00:15:05,705 bit more knowledgeable on the subject of modern gaming. But speaking of gaming, this brings 189 00:15:05,745 --> 00:15:07,085 us to our question of the week. 190 00:15:11,766 --> 00:15:17,689 What has been your favorite DC or Marvel video game and why? Post your answer to our Instagram, 191 00:15:17,749 --> 00:15:23,792 Twitter, Facebook, or email us at dynamicduelpodcast at gmail.com. We'll pick our favorite answer 192 00:15:23,852 --> 00:15:28,255 and draw that person a dynamic duel no prize that we'll post to social media. I think that 193 00:15:28,275 --> 00:15:32,637 does it for all of the news for this episode. So with all that done, let's go ahead and move 194 00:15:32,677 --> 00:15:37,520 on to the main event where we find out who'd win in a fight between Sinestro and Magneto. 195 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,541 Are you scared? No. You should be. I'm not. 196 00:15:55,946 --> 00:16:00,990 Okay, Sinestro versus Magneto. Now you might be asking yourself, why these two characters? 197 00:16:01,251 --> 00:16:06,756 And actually, this was sort of inspired by the internet, just by looking at what people thought 198 00:16:06,976 --> 00:16:11,420 would be good matches between DC and Marvel. I saw this one and I was like, well, that's 199 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,704 an interesting match. I have no idea who would win. They're both great, fascinating characters. 200 00:16:15,864 --> 00:16:21,389 They kind of skirt with like being really evil and, you know, semi-heroic. Sinestro is heroic? 201 00:16:21,654 --> 00:16:25,435 Well, yeah, he started off as a Green Lantern. Oh, that's right. That's right. But also, I 202 00:16:25,475 --> 00:16:29,416 think what appealed to me for this particular episode is that there's not too many people 203 00:16:29,616 --> 00:16:34,417 who could go up against a Green Lantern powers wise. They're just so powerful and energetic. 204 00:16:34,837 --> 00:16:39,198 But I think Magneto is absolutely one of those characters. He's not only one of the most powerful 205 00:16:39,318 --> 00:16:43,239 mutants in the Marvel universe, he's one of the most powerful characters in general. His 206 00:16:43,359 --> 00:16:47,941 electromagnetic energy powers are just off the charts. So I think Magneto is more than a match 207 00:16:47,961 --> 00:16:53,086 for Sinestro in this particular duel. More than a match. Yes. We'll see. So the way we determine 208 00:16:53,106 --> 00:16:57,908 the winner between these two characters is through statistics. We take their statistics and we 209 00:16:57,948 --> 00:17:02,110 run them through a simulation known as a Monte Carlo simulation. And what that does is it 210 00:17:02,130 --> 00:17:06,671 takes those stat numbers and it randomizes them along a normal distribution which is in the 211 00:17:06,711 --> 00:17:10,793 shape of a bell curve. And that randomization simulates all the variables that take place 212 00:17:10,833 --> 00:17:14,883 during the course of battle. Now we compare these randomizations against each other 1,000 213 00:17:15,284 --> 00:17:20,787 times to simulate 1,000 battles. And from those results we get a percentage of wins for each 214 00:17:20,867 --> 00:17:24,370 character. Right, and the character with the highest percentage of wins is the one that 215 00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:28,273 we declare the winner because they would win most of the time. Right, because no one character 216 00:17:28,353 --> 00:17:32,956 ever wins 100% of the matches. That's never happened. Right. There's always a way for Batman 217 00:17:32,976 --> 00:17:37,899 to beat someone like Superman. Do we try not to be that lopsided in our matchup pairings? 218 00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:41,834 We try to pick matches that we think will end up as close to 50% as possible. and then are 219 00:17:41,854 --> 00:17:45,815 just super excited when that doesn't happen. If that doesn't happen. Right, right. So again, 220 00:17:45,935 --> 00:17:50,997 because Joseph and I are so biased, we've chosen this approach because it's the most objective 221 00:17:51,057 --> 00:17:56,159 scientific approach that we could find. It used to be done by Spike TV on their old television 222 00:17:56,199 --> 00:18:00,480 show, Deadliest Warrior. Right, it's objective. There's no fan votes. We don't consider it 223 00:18:00,500 --> 00:18:05,722 like outlier feats. It's just base statistics. which are all based on the official Marvel 224 00:18:05,762 --> 00:18:10,724 Power Rankings grid. Right, and from Marvel's criteria, we extrapolate the DC character statistics, 225 00:18:10,804 --> 00:18:15,105 as well as add our own stat categories in order to make a more robust, accurate simulation. 226 00:18:15,305 --> 00:18:19,467 Things like evasiveness and range, things that, you know, would play a factor in an actual 227 00:18:19,507 --> 00:18:24,008 battle. Right. So before we run this Monte Carlo simulation with these character stats, we'll 228 00:18:24,028 --> 00:18:28,689 go over Magneto's and Sinestro's histories and powers, so you're more familiar with the characters. 229 00:18:29,106 --> 00:18:32,987 I think I go first this time, so let me tell you all about the character of Magneto, who 230 00:18:33,087 --> 00:18:38,049 I have to say is one of my favorite villains of all time. Because is he a tyrannical madman 231 00:18:38,189 --> 00:18:43,432 or a righteous zealot? He does take extreme measures to fight for mutant equality, but 232 00:18:43,492 --> 00:18:48,394 have extreme measures not been taken also by humans to suppress mutants? Do the ends justify 233 00:18:48,434 --> 00:18:53,436 the means when striving for a noble cause, and who decides which cause is noble? These are 234 00:18:53,456 --> 00:18:57,742 just some of the fascinating questions that arise when analyzing Magneto. Now Magneto's 235 00:18:57,782 --> 00:19:03,245 real name is Max Eisenhart. Max Eisenhart was born to a middle class Jewish family in Germany 236 00:19:03,325 --> 00:19:08,248 during the rise of the Nazi regime. He and his family were persecuted by Nazi soldiers and 237 00:19:08,288 --> 00:19:13,091 beaten nearly every day and they ended up fleeing to Poland. There they escaped to the Warsaw 238 00:19:13,131 --> 00:19:18,634 ghetto to avoid extermination but were eventually captured and killed in a firing squad. Max 239 00:19:18,694 --> 00:19:23,097 unknowingly used his powers for the first time to avoid being shot and was the only member 240 00:19:23,137 --> 00:19:27,856 of his family to survive. though he was soon found and imprisoned in Auschwitz. There he 241 00:19:27,876 --> 00:19:31,739 was forced to clean out the furnaces of the crematoria where he would discover the bodies 242 00:19:31,779 --> 00:19:36,083 of friends who had been picked for death, some of them horribly disfigured by the experiments 243 00:19:36,203 --> 00:19:41,267 of geneticist super villain Mr. Sinister. He reunited with an early childhood crush named 244 00:19:41,367 --> 00:19:45,891 Magda in the extermination camp and saved her from the gas chambers before the two escaped 245 00:19:46,292 --> 00:19:51,756 and fled to a Carpathian mountain village where Max changed his identity to Eric Lencher. They 246 00:19:51,836 --> 00:19:56,555 stayed there until the war's end. got married and had a daughter named Anya. Yeah, it's not 247 00:19:56,575 --> 00:20:01,138 his name was Eric Linscher. In the movies, that's what they refer to him as, but that's actually 248 00:20:01,198 --> 00:20:05,340 more of a gypsy name. And in the comics, they didn't quite decide whether or not they wanted 249 00:20:05,380 --> 00:20:10,863 Magneto to be Jewish or gypsy for a really long time. So what they did is they gave him a Jewish 250 00:20:10,903 --> 00:20:15,306 name that he later changed to a gypsy name. Okay. Because he married Magda, who was part 251 00:20:15,326 --> 00:20:19,928 Romani. Right. So after they had their daughter Anya, Eric moved his family to a Soviet Union 252 00:20:19,988 --> 00:20:24,275 city where he got a job as a carpenter. There, he consciously used his mutant powers for the 253 00:20:24,315 --> 00:20:29,778 first time as he magnetically hurled a crowbar at his boss for not paying him. As he arrived 254 00:20:29,838 --> 00:20:34,741 home that evening, he saw his home burning down with his daughter trapped in her room. He tried 255 00:20:34,761 --> 00:20:39,504 to save her but was held down by KGB goons who had been called by Erik's boss to start the 256 00:20:39,544 --> 00:20:44,427 fire and beat him up. As Anya burned alive in front of him, Erik killed the men who held 257 00:20:44,467 --> 00:20:49,866 him and the entire crowd watching and he destroyed a portion of the city itself. Holy cow. Magda 258 00:20:49,906 --> 00:20:54,508 fled in grief at the loss of her daughter and out of fear of her husband. Eric traveled to 259 00:20:54,668 --> 00:21:00,190 Israel, where he worked as an orderly at a psychiatric hospital for Holocaust survivors. There, he 260 00:21:00,250 --> 00:21:04,952 first met Charles Xavier, who was volunteering at the hospital. The two became friends and 261 00:21:04,972 --> 00:21:09,474 would often discuss the subject of the budding mutant race and its coexistence with the human 262 00:21:09,534 --> 00:21:13,836 majority. The two eventually revealed their powers to each other as they fought Hydra to 263 00:21:13,876 --> 00:21:18,802 save a kidnapped friend. Realizing kids and Charles' views were incompatible, Eric stole 264 00:21:18,862 --> 00:21:24,146 Hydra's Nazi gold and went on a journey hunting Nazi war criminals around the world. He developed 265 00:21:24,186 --> 00:21:28,989 a notorious reputation and was nicknamed Magneto. He witnessed the persecution of mutants first 266 00:21:29,029 --> 00:21:33,312 hand in his travels around the world and seeing parallels with the persecution of Jews in Nazi 267 00:21:33,352 --> 00:21:38,616 Germany, decided to establish a group to fight for mutant rights. He created an orbital space 268 00:21:38,636 --> 00:21:43,880 station to use as a base called Asteroid M and recruited his alleged children Quicksilver 269 00:21:43,940 --> 00:21:48,819 and Scarlet Witch as well as Toad and Mastermind. This was the original Brotherhood of Mutants. 270 00:21:49,139 --> 00:21:53,381 He led the group in acts of genetic terrorism and were often stopped by Charles Xavier and 271 00:21:53,421 --> 00:21:58,624 his rival team of mutants called the X-Men, who fought for peaceful mutant and human coexistence. 272 00:21:59,285 --> 00:22:03,467 He would also end up clashing with the likes of the Fantastic Four, the Sub-Mariner, Thor, 273 00:22:03,687 --> 00:22:07,709 and the Inhumans. Eventually, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch left the team to join the 274 00:22:07,749 --> 00:22:11,852 Avengers, and you can learn more about them in our Flash versus Quicksilver episode and 275 00:22:11,992 --> 00:22:16,283 our Zatanna versus Scarlet Witch episode, where they find out. that they're not actually Magneto's 276 00:22:16,323 --> 00:22:21,387 children. Dumb. After many years of attacking humans with various incarnations of his brotherhood 277 00:22:21,427 --> 00:22:26,711 team, Eric was de-aged a few decades into his younger self's body during an encounter with 278 00:22:26,731 --> 00:22:32,056 the alien Shi'ar race. Occasionally, Eric would find himself fighting alongside the X-Men when 279 00:22:32,096 --> 00:22:36,639 external threats to mutant kind would show up, such as William Stryker's purifiers, and during 280 00:22:36,659 --> 00:22:41,944 the secret wars event. That was when the godlike being known as the Beyonder transported Marvel's 281 00:22:41,964 --> 00:22:46,286 heroes and villains to Battleworld to do battle. Eric was transported to the villain side, but 282 00:22:46,326 --> 00:22:51,547 he rejected them and fought alongside the heroes instead. Later, he even led the X-Men and the 283 00:22:51,587 --> 00:22:56,029 new mutants teams when Professor X had to be taken off-world to be treated for an attack 284 00:22:56,089 --> 00:23:01,090 by Hydra. Though Eric thought he could manipulate the teams into his belief of mutant superiority, 285 00:23:01,510 --> 00:23:06,591 the reverse happened and he began questioning his own methods. However, over time the pressures 286 00:23:06,611 --> 00:23:11,173 of keeping the teams safe got to him and he became an overbearing and tyrannical team leader. 287 00:23:11,513 --> 00:23:15,290 He ended up leaving the X-Men and returning to his old ways, after seeing his students 288 00:23:15,350 --> 00:23:19,791 oppressed time and again. He stated that the world should focus on just him as the mutant 289 00:23:19,811 --> 00:23:25,933 threat, and that by being the major quote villain, he could help protect other mutants. His goal 290 00:23:25,953 --> 00:23:30,914 was no longer human conquest, but rather the creation of a haven for mutant kind on Asteroid 291 00:23:31,154 --> 00:23:35,895 M. The United Nations Security Council deployed satellites that disrupted Erick's powers on 292 00:23:35,975 --> 00:23:41,437 Asteroid M, and he deactivated every electronic device on Earth in retaliation. He fought the 293 00:23:41,517 --> 00:23:46,167 X-Men again, once again led by Professor X. and in the process extracted the adamantium 294 00:23:46,187 --> 00:23:50,430 from Wolverine's skeleton. You can learn more about that in our Hawkman vs. Wolverine duel 295 00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:55,254 episode. In the aftermath, the United Nations ended up ceding governmental control of the 296 00:23:55,294 --> 00:24:01,178 small island nation of Genosha to Erik to use as his mutant haven. Its population grew in 297 00:24:01,218 --> 00:24:06,302 the tens of thousands, but the island was eventually attacked and destroyed by Mega Sentinels, an 298 00:24:06,342 --> 00:24:10,845 event during which Erik was presumed dead. As he rose from Genosha's rubble and recovered 299 00:24:10,865 --> 00:24:15,720 his powers, His alleged daughter, the Scarlet Witch, rewrote reality to one where Eric ruled 300 00:24:15,820 --> 00:24:20,582 over a mutant-dominated world called the House of M. That version of reality came crashing 301 00:24:20,602 --> 00:24:24,825 down, however, when the heroes realized the truth, and the Scarlet Witch ended up restoring 302 00:24:24,865 --> 00:24:28,847 reality, but not before stripping most of the Earth's mutant population of their powers, 303 00:24:29,267 --> 00:24:34,330 including Eric's. Broken and disillusioned, Eric went into hiding. He worked with a high 304 00:24:34,370 --> 00:24:38,952 evolutionary, the scientist that granted Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch the powers, and was able 305 00:24:38,972 --> 00:24:43,566 to regain his powers through his technology. though the machine could only be used once. 306 00:24:44,066 --> 00:24:48,828 Of course. Eric made it his mission to try and restore the mutant populace's lost powers, 307 00:24:49,249 --> 00:24:53,871 which brought his attention to the first mutant born after the events of House of M, named 308 00:24:53,951 --> 00:24:59,033 Hope Summers. He joined the X-Men on their new island base called Utopia, which was actually 309 00:24:59,133 --> 00:25:03,635 Asteroid M resurfaced from the ocean's depths. During the Avengers versus X-Men event, the 310 00:25:03,655 --> 00:25:08,597 Phoenix Force returned to Earth. Magneto sided with the X-Men, but attacked Cyclops when his 311 00:25:08,637 --> 00:25:13,095 Phoenix powers grew out of control. Hope Summers and the Scarlet Witch were able to use the 312 00:25:13,135 --> 00:25:17,858 Phoenix to restore the lost powers of Earth's former mutants, fulfilling Eric's mission. 313 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,902 He later tracked down the Red Skull after learning that the villain was using Genosha as a concentration 314 00:25:22,942 --> 00:25:27,825 camp for many of these newly restored mutants, and he beat him to death. However, Schmidt 315 00:25:27,845 --> 00:25:32,769 was soon resurrected in the psyche of Red Onslaught, whom Eric helped defeat alongside the X-Men 316 00:25:32,849 --> 00:25:37,312 and the Avengers. Though Earth's mutants were restored, many of them started dying due to 317 00:25:37,392 --> 00:25:42,043 exposure to the Terrigan Mists' released in the atmosphere by Black Bolt, whom you can 318 00:25:42,063 --> 00:25:47,007 learn more about in our Shazam vs Black Bolt duel. This forced Eric to again try and protect 319 00:25:47,067 --> 00:25:52,391 the mutant race through any means necessary, establishing a new asteroid M and a new Brotherhood 320 00:25:52,451 --> 00:25:57,014 of Mutants. Isn't that the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants? Um, it was initially called the Brotherhood 321 00:25:57,054 --> 00:26:00,596 of Evil Mutants in the comics, yes, but that's kind of been retconned, because it wouldn't 322 00:26:00,616 --> 00:26:05,560 make sense for Magneto to refer to his own team as evil considering that he views his cause 323 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,390 as righteous. Right, right, I was thinking the same thing. Okay. Although there was a theory 324 00:26:09,450 --> 00:26:14,473 in the Earth-X graphic novel where the Watcher surmised that Magneto called his brotherhood 325 00:26:14,633 --> 00:26:20,036 evil in order to force Charles Xavier to take a moral stance basically. Interesting. Yeah, 326 00:26:20,116 --> 00:26:24,759 which, I don't know, still doesn't make sense to me. No. Anyway, Magneto's powers are to 327 00:26:24,819 --> 00:26:29,781 control the fundamental forces of electromagnetism, and he is one of the Earth's most powerful 328 00:26:29,841 --> 00:26:35,404 mutants. With his power, he has complete molecular control of metals, with effects that range 329 00:26:35,424 --> 00:26:39,715 from being able to control a person's blood flow. using the iron in their hemoglobin, or 330 00:26:39,755 --> 00:26:44,378 he can move mountains, or he can even manipulate the planet's electromagnetic field. Wouldn't 331 00:26:44,398 --> 00:26:51,783 that like destroy the planet? Yes. Maybe. I don't know. But he can fly, he can create impenetrable 332 00:26:51,803 --> 00:26:57,127 force fields, and fire electromagnetic blasts and pulses. Now, can he control all metals 333 00:26:57,207 --> 00:27:02,951 or just iron? All ferrous metals. Okay. Basically any metal that can be magnetized. Okay. Although 334 00:27:02,971 --> 00:27:08,514 he can also magnetize non-magnetic elements, so, you know. Just metal, just think metal, 335 00:27:08,534 --> 00:27:13,955 okay? Okay. Magneto can also reinforce the metal fibers of his outfit to be near the strength 336 00:27:13,995 --> 00:27:19,657 of adamantium. In addition, he also has telepathic resistance through his helmet, and he also 337 00:27:19,677 --> 00:27:24,538 has a genius level intellect. And that's the character. I mean, I guess that's impressive. 338 00:27:25,118 --> 00:27:29,760 I mean, not as impressive as like a ring that can allow you to create anything you can imagine. 339 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,461 I mean, Magneto can create anything he imagines out of metal, so. Well, let's hope there's 340 00:27:34,481 --> 00:27:41,548 some around. Let me get into Sinestro. Thal Sinestro is from the planet Korugar in space 341 00:27:41,568 --> 00:27:48,431 sector 1417. He was an orderly anthropologist on his planet until one day the green lantern 342 00:27:48,471 --> 00:27:56,674 for 1417 named Praul Gasgatha crash landed near Sinestro, injured and apparently dying from 343 00:27:56,714 --> 00:28:02,577 a battle with a weaponer of Qord, which is a planet from DC's antimatter universe. Gasgatha 344 00:28:02,617 --> 00:28:08,564 gave up his ring to Sinestro. whom the ring deemed to be fearless and honorable, and despite 345 00:28:08,704 --> 00:28:14,669 not knowing what the ring could do, Sinestro was able to destroy the Kordian attackers in 346 00:28:14,729 --> 00:28:20,833 pursuit of Gasgatha. When the dust settled, Gasgatha was still alive. Realizing he could 347 00:28:20,873 --> 00:28:27,457 recover with the aid of his Green Lantern Ring, Gasgatha asked Sinestro to return it, but Sinestro, 348 00:28:27,778 --> 00:28:34,210 disgusted by how easily Gasgatha gave up that power, left Gasgatha to die. and became Sector 349 00:28:34,230 --> 00:28:40,273 1417's new Green Lantern. Dang, that's not very honorable. That's true. That ring was stupid. 350 00:28:41,334 --> 00:28:45,817 The Guardians of the Universe, whom I'll refer to as the Owens, and whom you can learn more 351 00:28:45,857 --> 00:28:51,180 about in our Green Lantern vs. Nova episode, were the creators and leaders of the interstellar 352 00:28:51,220 --> 00:28:56,343 peacekeeping force known as the Green Lantern Corps. They never found out about how Sinestro 353 00:28:56,423 --> 00:29:02,066 let Gosgotha die, and instead lauded him for his competence with the ring. Doesn't the ring 354 00:29:02,086 --> 00:29:06,849 have its own sentience and wouldn't it tell on him? It didn't. In his prime, Sinestro was 355 00:29:06,889 --> 00:29:13,752 the greatest green lantern in all 3600 sectors of the universe. Under his vigilant protection, 356 00:29:13,772 --> 00:29:20,876 Sector 1417 was almost entirely devoid of crime. He mentored and befriended many other green 357 00:29:20,896 --> 00:29:28,020 lanterns, including the alien Abin Sur of Sector 2814, where Earth resides. Sinestro and Abin 358 00:29:28,081 --> 00:29:34,291 Sur became such close friends Sinestro married Abin's sister, Erin, and together they had 359 00:29:34,311 --> 00:29:40,314 a daughter. Abin Sur had learned from an alien named Atrocitus of a prophecy known as Blackest 360 00:29:40,434 --> 00:29:46,536 Night, a time when darkness would rise up in the universe and extinguish all light. Atrocitus 361 00:29:46,556 --> 00:29:52,539 was the leader of a prophetic terrorist gabal against the Owens, and as Abin Sur was taking 362 00:29:52,559 --> 00:29:58,541 the captured Atrocitus to the prison planet of Yismalt for his crimes, Atrocitus killed 363 00:29:58,601 --> 00:30:05,524 Abin and the two crash-landed on Earth. Sinestro attacked Atrocitus while on Earth and recaptured 364 00:30:05,564 --> 00:30:11,586 him with the help of Abansur's successor, the human Hal Jordan, whom Sinestro initially deemed 365 00:30:11,766 --> 00:30:18,369 unworthy. As he was imprisoned, Atrocitus taunted Sinestro with a personal prophecy about the 366 00:30:18,409 --> 00:30:24,412 chaos and deadly coup that would lead to Sinestro's fall from grace within the Green Lantern Corps. 367 00:30:29,502 --> 00:30:35,664 and began crossing ethical lines in order to maintain order within his sector, eventually 368 00:30:35,964 --> 00:30:43,228 dominating each planet as a dictator who ruled by fear. Recognizing Sinestro's dark turn and 369 00:30:43,288 --> 00:30:48,230 fearing for their daughter's life, his wife Erin secretly gave their daughter away and 370 00:30:48,330 --> 00:30:54,713 fled, dying soon after from a suicide bomber who had intended to kill Sinestro, which only 371 00:30:54,773 --> 00:31:01,249 bolstered his tyranny. The Owens ordered Sinestro to train Hal Jordan, who, despite his recklessness, 372 00:31:01,649 --> 00:31:07,773 Sinestro eventually befriended. During their training, Hal traveled to Sector 1417 with 373 00:31:07,833 --> 00:31:13,237 Sinestro to quell a rebellion that had arisen during Sinestro's absence. During this time, 374 00:31:13,517 --> 00:31:19,641 Hal realized Sinestro was using his ring to rule over his sector. Guilt stricken for helping 375 00:31:19,681 --> 00:31:25,045 him stop the rebellion, Hal kept Sinestro's secret and instead imprisoned both of them 376 00:31:25,325 --> 00:31:30,641 on Earth. The Owens sent Manhunters, the emotionless, energy-draining android precursors to the Green 377 00:31:30,682 --> 00:31:36,647 Lanterns, to Earth to capture both Green Lanterns and put them on trial. Hal testified against 378 00:31:36,747 --> 00:31:41,711 Sinestro, who was imprisoned in the Anti-Matter universe, and swore revenge against Hal and 379 00:31:41,731 --> 00:31:47,597 the Owens. While there, he met the Weaponers of Chord, who hated the Owens as much as he 380 00:31:47,617 --> 00:31:53,101 did. They fashioned him a yellow power ring and sent him back to the Positive Matter universe, 381 00:31:53,450 --> 00:31:58,734 where he became the Green Lantern Corps' most powerful nemesis, due, at the time, to their 382 00:31:58,814 --> 00:32:05,400 ring's inability to affect the color yellow. Eventually, thanks mostly to Hell Jordan, Sinestro 383 00:32:05,420 --> 00:32:10,244 was imprisoned in the Green Lantern Corps' central power battery, which powers the rings of each 384 00:32:10,324 --> 00:32:15,688 member of the Corps. While in the battery, Sinestro discovered that the Green Lantern's weakness 385 00:32:15,728 --> 00:32:21,913 to yellow came from an entity known as Parallax, the yellow embodiment of fear in the universe 386 00:32:22,338 --> 00:32:27,921 that the Owens had also imprisoned in the battery millions of years prior. Sinestro influenced 387 00:32:27,961 --> 00:32:33,604 Parallax into manipulating Kal Jordan and driving him insane when Hal's hometown of Coast City 388 00:32:33,724 --> 00:32:38,767 was destroyed. Hal went on a rampage, killing the rest of the core in order to drain their 389 00:32:38,807 --> 00:32:43,809 energy, and made his way to the planet Oa to absorb the central power battery. The Owens 390 00:32:43,869 --> 00:32:49,532 released Sinestro from his prison to confront and defeat Hal, but Sinestro taunted Hal into 391 00:32:49,592 --> 00:32:55,839 killing him and the Owens. bringing Hal fully over the edge and allowing Parallax to fully 392 00:32:55,879 --> 00:33:02,060 possess him. It was later revealed, however, that the Sinestro who died was an energy construct 393 00:33:02,340 --> 00:33:08,122 made by Parallax and puppeteered by Sinestro, who went into hiding once the core was destroyed, 394 00:33:08,542 --> 00:33:14,724 biding his time until Parallax was powerful enough to power his yellow ring. Parallax had 395 00:33:14,744 --> 00:33:20,025 been destroyed but was slowly regaining his energy through Hal Jordan in his new form as 396 00:33:20,065 --> 00:33:24,979 the Spectre. who you can learn more about in our Spectre vs Galactus episode. Hal Jordan 397 00:33:25,079 --> 00:33:30,241 re-emerged as a Green Lantern once again, now free from Parallax's influence, and he and 398 00:33:30,281 --> 00:33:36,204 Sinestro fought, resulting in Sinestro's yellow ring to be destroyed and him being instantly 399 00:33:36,244 --> 00:33:41,526 teleported back to the antimatter universe. With the help of the universe-destroying entity 400 00:33:41,606 --> 00:33:48,349 from the antimatter universe known as the Anti-Monitor, Sinestro formed the Sinestro Corps, a team 401 00:33:48,409 --> 00:33:53,552 of frightful beings from across the universe. who wielded yellow power rings to combat the 402 00:33:53,592 --> 00:33:58,576 reformation of the Green Lantern Corps. With the Green Lantern's universal entity of courage 403 00:33:58,616 --> 00:34:04,641 and willpower, a being known as Ion, captured by the Sinestro Corps, the Owens rewrote the 404 00:34:04,681 --> 00:34:11,306 Green Lantern bylaws to allow Green Lanterns to use lethal force, which was Sinestro's plan 405 00:34:11,707 --> 00:34:16,811 all along, making him victorious once again despite him and the Corps being defeated in 406 00:34:16,851 --> 00:34:24,299 battle on Earth. Sinestro was abducted from the Green Lantern Corps by Atrocitus and his 407 00:34:24,359 --> 00:34:30,382 newly created Red Lantern Corps, who learned of Sinestro's daughter, Soranekhna II, who 408 00:34:30,402 --> 00:34:36,204 was unaware of her parentage and had been the Green Lantern of Sector 1417 for some time. 409 00:34:36,564 --> 00:34:40,646 Shortly after Sinestro was rescued from the Green Lantern Corps by his own corps members, 410 00:34:41,186 --> 00:34:46,949 heroes and villains who have died throughout DC continuity began to arise as reanimated 411 00:34:47,029 --> 00:34:54,237 zombie corpses wielding Black Lantern Rings, including Aben Sur and his sister Erin, Sinestro's 412 00:34:54,277 --> 00:35:00,500 former wife. It took mass recruitment by the Green, Yellow, and Red Lantern Corps, as well 413 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:05,543 as the newly formed Orange, Blue, Indigo, and Violet teams, to gather enough white light 414 00:35:05,623 --> 00:35:10,746 when combining their energy to attack the Black Lantern's central power battery, created from 415 00:35:10,786 --> 00:35:17,170 the corpse of the Anti-Monitor by Necron, the universal embodiment of death. Necron planned 416 00:35:17,230 --> 00:35:23,232 on summoning the embodiment of life, known simply as the Entity, so he could destroy it, and 417 00:35:23,292 --> 00:35:29,675 subsequently all life in the universe, in one fell swoop. Once summoned, the Entity possessed 418 00:35:29,795 --> 00:35:35,918 Sinestro, who used the power to fight and help defeat Necron, saving the universe. Sinestro 419 00:35:35,938 --> 00:35:41,840 became a Green Lantern once again after an evil Owen known as Krona captured his yellow ring, 420 00:35:42,160 --> 00:35:47,390 along with the seven colored universal entities of emotion. Helping defeat Krona as a Green 421 00:35:47,430 --> 00:35:52,714 Lantern, Sinestro was allowed to keep his ring, though he returned to the head of the Sinestro 422 00:35:52,754 --> 00:35:58,777 Corps when he realized the Owens were manipulating him into destroying the Yellow Lanterns and 423 00:35:58,817 --> 00:36:05,281 eventually all other Cores save for the Green. In retaliation, Sinestro killed all but two 424 00:36:05,321 --> 00:36:10,564 of the Owens and set off to find and save the survivors of his destroyed planet of Korugar. 425 00:36:13,502 --> 00:36:19,043 of an ultraviolet light outside of the emotional spectrum that channels all negative emotion 426 00:36:19,123 --> 00:36:24,865 in general, which he can use to create both invisible constructs and manipulate life forms. 427 00:36:25,465 --> 00:36:30,606 In this match however, Sinestro will have his yellow power ring, which is primarily capable 428 00:36:30,666 --> 00:36:37,248 of creating yellow energy and hard light constructs, such as force fields or like, scary spiders. 429 00:36:37,868 --> 00:36:43,387 It's also capable of empathically determining an opponent's fears. which it can amplify. 430 00:36:44,027 --> 00:36:49,512 His ring also grants him enhanced strength, speed, durability, and flight. The ring does, 431 00:36:49,572 --> 00:36:55,877 however, need to be recharged on occasion, and it is disrupted by the blue energy of hope. 432 00:36:56,398 --> 00:37:01,162 That's Sinestro. Sometimes Magneto's energy in the comics is depicted as blue. But it's 433 00:37:01,202 --> 00:37:05,806 not very Magnetic energy. Hopeful. It's not hopeful. Sure it is. Sure it is. All right, 434 00:37:05,886 --> 00:37:09,189 that does it for the backstories and powers for each of these characters. Now, before we 435 00:37:09,229 --> 00:37:13,275 run the simulations, we like to discuss how we think one of those 1000 matches would actually 436 00:37:13,315 --> 00:37:17,878 play out and kind of like an improvised scenario. Yeah. The final results aren't based on the 437 00:37:17,898 --> 00:37:22,841 speculation. This is just for funsies. Now we don't set any rules for our particular scenario, 438 00:37:23,161 --> 00:37:28,204 save that the characters don't know anything about each other than they are threats to each 439 00:37:28,245 --> 00:37:32,447 other that need to be put down. They start 50 yards apart on whatever battlefield they're 440 00:37:32,527 --> 00:37:38,131 on and the battlefield is nondescript basically. We don't take stats for the environment within 441 00:37:38,171 --> 00:37:41,854 these simulations. The characters have to win on their own merits. So the environment does 442 00:37:41,894 --> 00:37:46,137 not play any sort of factor within the battle itself because some characters can win in certain 443 00:37:46,157 --> 00:37:51,081 environments and have disadvantages in others. Right. Exactly. Like if this fight took place 444 00:37:51,141 --> 00:37:57,706 on Mars, Sinestro is dead. Is he though? Yeah. Cause Mars is full of iron. I guess so is earth. 445 00:37:57,866 --> 00:38:02,282 And if this match took place, like in the middle of nowhere space, Magneto would- pretty much 446 00:38:02,322 --> 00:38:06,604 be dead. Which is not true because Magneto can actually draw upon magnetic fields of surrounding 447 00:38:06,664 --> 00:38:11,387 planets and stars. Oh, so like millions of miles away? Yeah, he can't do that. It would take 448 00:38:11,407 --> 00:38:15,269 a long time for that to get done. It doesn't. He used the magnetic power of the sun in a 449 00:38:15,309 --> 00:38:20,052 fight against Iron Man in Avengers versus X-Men to strengthen himself. It made him stronger? 450 00:38:20,272 --> 00:38:24,995 Yes, he can use magnetic fields to make himself stronger. They fought in space too. And Magneto 451 00:38:25,015 --> 00:38:29,097 like created his own suit of armor using the metal from nearby satellites. I'm talking about 452 00:38:29,197 --> 00:38:34,105 deep space. Okay, there are no stars or asteroids or anything around. What are you talking about? 453 00:38:34,125 --> 00:38:37,948 There are no stars in deep space. Deep space. Okay, Neil deGrasse Tyson. Yeah. You don't 454 00:38:37,968 --> 00:38:42,472 know anything about space. Don't act like you know about space. Deep space nine. Anyway, 455 00:38:43,633 --> 00:38:47,616 let's go ahead and get this fight started. So they start 50 yards apart from each other and 456 00:38:47,656 --> 00:38:52,841 they know that they have to beat each other. Who goes first? I actually think that Sinestro 457 00:38:52,901 --> 00:38:57,945 is a little bit more manic than Magneto. Yeah, I agree. I think Sinestro would actually go 458 00:38:58,065 --> 00:39:02,020 first. considering that he might also be a little bit faster. Well, I think he starts off just 459 00:39:02,060 --> 00:39:08,585 by sort of like doing a scan of Magneto, an empathic scan of what Magneto fears. Well, 460 00:39:08,625 --> 00:39:13,688 Magneto can't be scanned because he has that helmet that blocks his mind from being read. 461 00:39:13,989 --> 00:39:17,912 He's reading his heart. He's not reading, he doesn't have a heart helmet. There's no thought 462 00:39:18,052 --> 00:39:24,636 or memory base in the human heart. It's emotion. No, emotions are not physically held in the 463 00:39:24,656 --> 00:39:31,448 heart, they're held in the brain, fool. Still, like, the laws of Marvel telepathy being blocked 464 00:39:31,468 --> 00:39:37,313 by helmets doesn't apply to DC. Well, it applies in this case, so I'm sorry. Why? Because that's 465 00:39:37,353 --> 00:39:42,258 his whole thing. He has telepathic resistance. It's not telepathy, it's empathy. Same f***ing 466 00:39:42,418 --> 00:39:49,744 thing. Is that the s***? Same frickin' thing. Is it? Yeah. Can't be scanned. Besides, Magneto 467 00:39:49,764 --> 00:39:54,468 doesn't have fears anyway, it's not gonna help you. While you're busy scanning, Magneto sees 468 00:39:54,488 --> 00:39:59,407 this guy who he knows to be a threat. And he shoots an electromagnetic blast at him. Like 469 00:39:59,447 --> 00:40:05,349 lightning? Yeah, it's kind of depicted as lightning-ish in the comics. Okay, well, since Sinestro's 470 00:40:05,389 --> 00:40:11,092 ring was scanning Magneto, it senses the buildup of this electromagnetism and puts up a shield 471 00:40:11,132 --> 00:40:17,034 right away, blocking the blast. Okay? So then that's when Sinestro retaliates by creating 472 00:40:17,694 --> 00:40:23,037 like a million little tiny scary spiders that just go all around Magneto. Except how did 473 00:40:23,057 --> 00:40:28,039 they get past Magneto's forcefield? They're created within the force field. You can't project 474 00:40:28,140 --> 00:40:31,722 energy through the force field. Who said his force field is up? You didn't even say his 475 00:40:31,762 --> 00:40:36,685 force field is up. Magneto traditionally has his force field up almost at all times. It's 476 00:40:36,846 --> 00:40:42,069 usually just invisible. And that's canon. What? Yeah. Especially he would have it up during, 477 00:40:42,129 --> 00:40:47,193 at the start of this fight. Okay, so the spiders crawl all around this force field, and it lets 478 00:40:47,353 --> 00:40:53,257 Sinestro know exactly where this force field is. Yeah, all around him. Okay. So, once he's 479 00:40:53,297 --> 00:40:58,772 completely encased, in spiders, that's when Sinestro creates like this vice grip, picks 480 00:40:58,812 --> 00:41:04,495 Magneto up by his forcefield, and just like curls him into space. Except Magneto breaks 481 00:41:04,675 --> 00:41:09,338 the vice grip by expanding his forcefield to break the construct that's holding him. Shut 482 00:41:09,358 --> 00:41:15,261 the fu- shut the front door. I almost said it. And as soon as he breaks the vice grip, Magneto 483 00:41:15,361 --> 00:41:21,925 flies towards Sinestro and he shoots this huge giant electromagnetic beam at Sinestro. Boom, 484 00:41:22,005 --> 00:41:28,466 forcefield blocked. We gotta get around these force fields somehow. Alright, so, um, Magneto 485 00:41:28,526 --> 00:41:33,830 taps into whatever, like, electromagnetic currents are surrounding them. Because everything has 486 00:41:33,850 --> 00:41:39,075 an electromagnetic field, whether it be life forms or even planets, radiation out in space, 487 00:41:39,115 --> 00:41:44,419 wherever they are, there will be an electromagnetic field that Magneto can tap into and kind of 488 00:41:44,779 --> 00:41:49,804 use to telekinetically shake Sinestro within his force field, and kind of like, rattle him 489 00:41:49,844 --> 00:41:54,162 around like a hamster in a hamster ball. And Sinestro's just like slamming back and forth 490 00:41:54,182 --> 00:41:59,285 against the walls and getting all bloodied from that. Okay. Which causes Sinestro to drop his 491 00:41:59,345 --> 00:42:04,927 force field. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At that moment, Magneto sends out this electromagnetic pulse 492 00:42:05,367 --> 00:42:11,570 that affects Sinestro's electric nervous system and basically gives him a stroke. What? Yeah. 493 00:42:11,990 --> 00:42:17,973 No, it doesn't. Because as the electromagnetic pulse is coming at him, Huh? He creates a battery 494 00:42:18,153 --> 00:42:23,836 that absorbs that electrical energy. and uses it to power a big ass cannon, which he fires 495 00:42:23,956 --> 00:42:28,880 right at Magneto. Okay, well Magneto still has his force field, but I would assume that a 496 00:42:28,900 --> 00:42:34,624 blast that big would actually start taxing his ability to maintain that force field. Yes, 497 00:42:34,804 --> 00:42:39,247 it's a very big laser. So once the cannon is done shooting at him, it's out of the energy 498 00:42:39,267 --> 00:42:45,331 that it absorbed or whatever, Magneto drops his force field and splinters his helmet into 499 00:42:45,451 --> 00:42:51,450 a bunch of tiny metal shards that he just sends hurling. straight at Sinestro's face. As they're 500 00:42:51,470 --> 00:42:57,113 coming at him, this like dragon wing sweeps in and like blocks the shards and then like 501 00:42:57,133 --> 00:43:02,615 the wing moves to reveal this giant ass dragon that then just like fires a huge fireball at 502 00:43:02,655 --> 00:43:07,737 Magneto. And this thing's scary, let me tell you. But as Magneto's jumping out of the way 503 00:43:07,797 --> 00:43:12,679 of the dragon's flames, he takes all those metal shards that are within the dragon's wings and 504 00:43:12,699 --> 00:43:17,501 he forms them together into this giant blade that just slices the dragon's head off and 505 00:43:17,521 --> 00:43:23,291 decapitates him. But the dragon's head like falls off, rolls to the like grand, but then 506 00:43:23,331 --> 00:43:27,673 like spider legs sprout out of it and it starts going at Magneto. It's like, I'm going to get 507 00:43:27,693 --> 00:43:35,737 you. That is scary. Magneto's like, what the hell? Is hella curse word? I don't know. Anyway. 508 00:43:35,757 --> 00:43:39,859 Okay. So Magneto is like freaking the heck out. All right. So what he does is he summons his 509 00:43:39,919 --> 00:43:44,541 helmet back to him, but he creates a full protective mask out of it with like mesh eye holes and 510 00:43:44,561 --> 00:43:48,106 everything like that. So he could still see out of it. He reinforces all the metal around 511 00:43:48,146 --> 00:43:53,028 his body in his metal weave suit so that it's about as durable as adamantium, okay? Uh-huh. 512 00:43:53,048 --> 00:43:58,351 So this thing's like lunging at him, but he's armored, so it can't like affect him too much. 513 00:43:58,411 --> 00:44:05,093 And he draws upon the electromagnetic energy of whatever large planet may be nearby him, 514 00:44:05,133 --> 00:44:09,995 whether it's Earth or it's the Sun or it's another planet or wherever he is. So he's like coursing 515 00:44:10,015 --> 00:44:14,697 with like this glowing electromagnetic energy, and it increases his strength so much so that 516 00:44:14,717 --> 00:44:19,023 he just punches this dragon right in the face and rips his spider legs off. Okay, but as 517 00:44:19,083 --> 00:44:23,484 Magneto is too busy fighting this dragon head, that's when Sinestro sort of like fills the 518 00:44:23,544 --> 00:44:28,946 area around Magneto with this like ooze that he's just like drowning in. And then at that 519 00:44:28,986 --> 00:44:33,527 point, Magneto again creates his forcefield that emanates from his body and pushes the 520 00:44:33,607 --> 00:44:37,968 ooze away, creating basically an air bubble for himself. And then he probably just like 521 00:44:38,408 --> 00:44:43,322 spins that bubble so that it like sends all the ooze flying away from him. Okay, well now 522 00:44:43,362 --> 00:44:48,203 that Magneto is dizzy as heck No, no, he was just spinning the force field, not himself 523 00:44:48,223 --> 00:44:52,584 within those force fields Oh, dumb But he shoots out this energy blast that connects to Sinestro's 524 00:44:52,664 --> 00:44:57,666 ring And taps into whatever, you know, alien metals are within the construction of the ring 525 00:44:57,726 --> 00:45:03,767 itself What? Yeah And then- That's like anti-matter metal You can't do anything with that Wait, 526 00:45:03,807 --> 00:45:10,589 did you say the word metal? Did you say the word metal? It's anti-matter Like metal- Metal 527 00:45:10,609 --> 00:45:20,158 Dang it! So he pulls the ring off of Sinestro's hand. No. What? Actually, in the metal event 528 00:45:20,198 --> 00:45:26,162 that they had in the comics recently, like, yeah, the rings are metal. You are fudged. 529 00:45:27,643 --> 00:45:32,106 So he pulls the ring off of Sinestro's hand, and then it brings it towards him, realizing 530 00:45:32,147 --> 00:45:38,431 like it's this awesome energy weapon, and Magneto puts the ring on his own hand. Okay. Little 531 00:45:38,471 --> 00:45:44,374 did you know that Sinestro has built-in safeguards for anyone else. Who wears his rings? Okay. 532 00:45:44,655 --> 00:45:50,257 So as Magneto puts on his hand, that's when it like generates a saw blade and chops off 533 00:45:50,297 --> 00:45:55,959 Magneto's hand. Oh, shit! What? This took him by surprise. Okay, okay, I'll accept that. 534 00:45:56,359 --> 00:46:00,881 So Magneto just lost a hand, but he's not gonna bleed out because he can hold back his own 535 00:46:00,901 --> 00:46:04,143 blood from flowing out of his arm due to the iron that's within it. Just like cauterize 536 00:46:04,163 --> 00:46:11,250 it? In effect, yes. Okay, well meanwhile, the ring flies off of the amputated hand. back 537 00:46:11,290 --> 00:46:16,452 onto Sinestro's finger. But before it gets back to Sinestro's finger, Magneto stalls it mid-air, 538 00:46:16,492 --> 00:46:21,334 and at which point, Magneto removes his helmet again, and like turns it into like this metallic 539 00:46:21,474 --> 00:46:30,217 dust that flies over to Sinestro, and Sinestro inhales it, basically. What is this, X2? Yes. 540 00:46:31,058 --> 00:46:35,460 But I say that before the dust could even get to Sinestro, he runs over to the rank himself, 541 00:46:35,700 --> 00:46:39,221 puts it on, and then just creates like- But already has all this metal in his body now. 542 00:46:40,470 --> 00:46:44,511 Well, little did you know that the Green Lanterns could actually phase through matter on certain 543 00:46:44,551 --> 00:46:50,232 instances. So I'm sure Sinestro can do it as well. What?! So yeah, he just uses the ring 544 00:46:50,452 --> 00:46:55,914 to phase his molecules away from the metal bits. Leaving himself vulnerable, standing right 545 00:46:55,954 --> 00:47:01,376 next to all these metal bits that form like this liquid that just wraps around Sinestro's 546 00:47:01,616 --> 00:47:09,330 ring and hand. And then Magneto makes Sinestro start punching himself. Okay, well Sinestro 547 00:47:09,410 --> 00:47:14,231 uses his ring to pick up Magneto's amputated hand and he uses that to start slapping Magneto 548 00:47:14,291 --> 00:47:21,313 across the face. Over and over. In fact, Sinestro creates like a hundred more zombie hands that 549 00:47:21,373 --> 00:47:27,015 also start slapping Magneto around. Alright, so Magneto either gets slapped to death or 550 00:47:27,235 --> 00:47:32,116 Sinestro punches himself to death with a metal fist. Sure, yeah. I did not see that happening. 551 00:47:33,017 --> 00:47:36,618 But I think that does it for this particular scenario. We'll end it there. and we'll go 552 00:47:36,658 --> 00:47:41,066 to the simulations and run the numbers and figure out exactly who would win between these two 553 00:47:41,086 --> 00:47:41,947 villains. Let's do it. 554 00:47:46,382 --> 00:47:51,325 Okay, I can't do the mental math off the top of my head as to who is coming out on top of 555 00:47:51,365 --> 00:47:55,968 this. This is definitely gonna be a surprise for me. Yeah, it's pretty close here, which 556 00:47:56,048 --> 00:48:01,611 I think makes it a great match. We did figure that Sinestro is faster than Magneto. Right, 557 00:48:01,651 --> 00:48:07,415 but then Magneto is slightly stronger because he could essentially affect planets. And while 558 00:48:07,795 --> 00:48:12,402 Sinestro can do the same, it would take a lot more effort. You think a lot more willpower 559 00:48:12,442 --> 00:48:16,124 to lift a mountain as opposed to Magneto who can lift a mountain fairly effortlessly. Right, 560 00:48:16,224 --> 00:48:20,465 exactly. Fighting skill, Sinestro came out on top. Yeah, because he has the training through 561 00:48:20,485 --> 00:48:24,087 the Green Lantern Corps. Right, right. You don't really see Magneto fight hand to hand too often. 562 00:48:24,387 --> 00:48:28,729 He probably does have some experience in hand to hand combat, but no formal training. Uh-huh. 563 00:48:28,769 --> 00:48:33,431 Where else do they differ? In terms of durability, we said that due to Magneto's heavy armor, 564 00:48:33,611 --> 00:48:38,033 it made him less vulnerable to direct attack as opposed to Sinestro, who has to create a 565 00:48:38,093 --> 00:48:43,307 construct to defend himself. Right, and shield creation is more represented through the evasiveness 566 00:48:43,347 --> 00:48:49,370 stat, which we more accurately define as the ability to avoid being hit. As opposed to durability, 567 00:48:49,450 --> 00:48:54,272 which is the ability to resist or recover from injury to your body directly. Right, exactly. 568 00:48:54,672 --> 00:48:58,553 Intelligence-wise, they're about the same, I would say. Yeah, yeah, they're both smart villains. 569 00:48:58,974 --> 00:49:03,115 So yeah, taking all those numbers and running them through the Monte Carlo, we have a winner. 570 00:49:03,175 --> 00:49:06,977 Now, who do you think it's gonna be? I really hope it's Sinestro, but you put up a much better 571 00:49:07,057 --> 00:49:11,286 fight than I thought you would. Like I thought I was totally gonna own this, but that freaking 572 00:49:11,346 --> 00:49:15,427 force field, like force fields are hard to get through. It's always hard when you have two 573 00:49:15,447 --> 00:49:19,008 characters that can have full and penetrable force fields going at all times. Right, right. 574 00:49:19,028 --> 00:49:23,149 So you need to find a way to kind of like negate that. And I think that we did that hopefully 575 00:49:23,169 --> 00:49:27,030 in a way that makes sense. Cause you know, the comic book writers do it all the time. So we'll 576 00:49:27,050 --> 00:49:31,892 see. So, all right. It was an extremely close match. I'm proud of both of these guys. The 577 00:49:31,972 --> 00:49:41,869 winner of the Magneto Sinestro match is Magneto. Ah, he won. 57.1% of the matches. Whoa. Compared 578 00:49:41,889 --> 00:49:49,355 to Sinestro's 429 wins. What? I cannot fathom this. Yeah, Magneto won man. Deal with it. 579 00:49:49,876 --> 00:49:56,022 You have to deal with this. No. Actually I did not quite see that coming as well. I think 580 00:49:56,182 --> 00:50:03,008 the big factor here was that Magneto always is wearing his armor. Whether or not his armor 581 00:50:03,088 --> 00:50:07,363 itself has been reinforced. According to the comics, almost nearly always has his force 582 00:50:07,383 --> 00:50:11,664 field going. He's almost always in a defensive state. Sinestro could do that, but it would 583 00:50:11,684 --> 00:50:16,046 drain the energy in his ring. Right, right. Considering we didn't take into consideration 584 00:50:16,126 --> 00:50:20,788 any environmental metal within our scenario, if there was environmental metal, Sinestro 585 00:50:20,808 --> 00:50:25,230 would have that much harder of a time. I forgot to take into account that electromagnetism 586 00:50:25,350 --> 00:50:29,632 is essentially everywhere, almost in the universe. He's essentially in control of one of the four 587 00:50:29,672 --> 00:50:35,551 fundamental forces of the universe. Exactly. This sucks. Okay, Harry and Tasker, cover your 588 00:50:35,631 --> 00:50:45,799 ears for a few seconds, because this is fucking bullshit. Damn it. Okay, I'm done. Okay, you 589 00:50:45,820 --> 00:50:49,362 can uncover your ears again. So go ahead and mark this down as a win in the Marvel column 590 00:50:49,422 --> 00:50:52,825 for Magneto, and go ahead and write into us and let us know what you guys thought about 591 00:50:52,865 --> 00:50:58,350 this fight. That does it for this episode. Let's hurry up and wrap this up, this is dumb. Our 592 00:50:58,390 --> 00:51:04,362 next episode, we will be reviewing Jessica Jones, season three. Right, it's the very last of 593 00:51:04,382 --> 00:51:09,063 the Marvel Netflix shows that's going to air, and so it's a little bit bittersweet, but the 594 00:51:09,303 --> 00:51:13,624 show has been pretty good consistently, even with season two being not quite as good as 595 00:51:13,644 --> 00:51:17,746 season one. But I do like the character so much, so I'm excited. So yeah, we'll be reviewing 596 00:51:17,786 --> 00:51:23,227 that.
