Marvel vs DC: Who Will Ruin Superhero Movies? Starring Black Nerd Comedy
Released on 03/17/2015
Hey everybody.
I had so much fun discussing time travel
with Andre from BlackNerdComedy,
Woah, who is this Andre?
I am not Andre. I'm Batman.
Yeah, uhh, right.
I've invited Andre's alter ego,
Swear to me!
Back to settle the ultimate geeky question.
Which is better, Marvel or DC?
Andre, you wanna pick one of those
and alienate half of your audience?
Go ahead.
Oh no, no, no, I know how this works.
If I say DC all the Marvel fanboys are gonna hate me.
If I say Marvel, all the DC fanboys are gonna hate me,
so ya know what, I'm staying in neutral zone.
My favorite is Archie.
I say Whitman, no, Gold Key, no Whitman.
Why don't we chat about which upcoming superhero
movie is going to suck the most?
Now we're talking.
On this week's episode of Angry Nerd.
And Black Nerd.
First the mail bag.
Graytlo wrote, How about that Suicide Squad cast list?
I can't wait for that film!
Haha! That's my Will Smith.
Yeah, it's amazing, but it's a little less amazing
now that Tom Hardy bailed.
I'm sorry Angry Nerd, I had to leave.
I was already a DC captain on a film.
Well, Andre who would you replace him with?
Tyler Perry.
Now, I love the fact that all of these comic book
movies are being made,
but I worry that there are too many.
Yeah, the big media narrative now-a-days is
Hey, those comic book movies are actually pretty good.
Make a hundred of them!
I mean, people who don't even read comics,
like myself, except for Archie,
loved Guardians of the Galaxy,
loved The Winter Soldier, but I think it'll just take
on Green Lantern, Cat Woman, Blankman style bomb
to spark a huge backlash.
Which movie has the potential to bomb so badly
that it provokes that backlash?
And will it be a Marvel movie or a DC movie?
Or a Marvel movie that's not in the Marvel cinematic
universe like say the Fantastic Four?
That's bad. That's really bad.
My favorite Fantastic Four movie will still be
the Roger Corman one that never got released.
Yeah, and mine will be The Incredibles.
[Nerd] Oh, good call.
Now let's talk about DC.
Is DC really laying the groundwork for its own
successful cinematic universe?
No. Is it just copying and pasting what Marvel is doing?
That one. It's that one.
It's trying. I don't think it's even doing that right.
And on top of that, there's this rumor
that's been floating around that oh DC movies
have to be serious.
No jokey-jokes in here!
Even though Man of Steel was one of the biggest jokes
that you could ever do in a DC movie.
Oh, we can't be funny at all.
Just make a good movie.
Don't make it dark and brooding.
That's not the ticket to success.
Aquaman?
You can't be tongue in cheek at all about Aquaman?
But don't think Marvel's off the hook,
any of their movies could be done in,
just by the need of carrying this enormous series forward.
Is it a good thing to know that the movie you're working on
is essentially a prequel for a dozen future movies?
Hey, Guardians of the Galaxy, we're having fun,
it's exciting, it's comedic.
Let's just stop the movie for five minutes
and show Thanos, because next Avengers movies.
I worry that by 2018, every Marvel movie will have
like 30 minutes of closing credits
interrupted by a half dozen little teaser clips
that promote all their future movies.
And all of those will feature Howard the Duck.
Well, in that case, I would like to withdraw
any reservations because that would be awesome.
And plus all this tie-in that Marvel is doing,
I mean before I see a movie,
I gotta see five other Marvel movies,
four different Netflix series,
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and whatever rebooted
battle world universe they're gonna create in the comics,
to just know what's going on in the movie.
We need Cliff notes.
Yeah, seriously! Marvel Cliff notes.
It's like a Marvel SAT.
But at least Marvel's tying everything in together,
DC's all like we're gonna have a movie Arrow and Flash,
and a TV Arrow and Flash, they can't be the same!
What's next? DC Babies?
Don't give them any bright ideas.
I dropped kryptonite in my diapie.
So time to lay it on the line.
What are our predictions?
What do we think will be the movie that kills
this whole superhero boom?
I'm gonna say Spider-Man.
Not a specific movie from the Amazing Spider-Man
franchise, just him.
[Nerd] Just Spider-Man in general.
He is now a jinx in the movie universe.
I don't even want him in Avengers at this point.
I'm afraid he'll taint it, just like venom.
Like he'll step into the movie and then just junk,
bad movie-dom will flow into the film.
It's a movie bomb symbiote.
I gotta go with Fantastic Four.
My spider sense is tingling.
Now we could talk all day about what movies could bomb,
but I'll tell you two movies that can't bomb,
and that is Captain Marvel and Wonder Woman.
[Nerd] Nope.
If those movies bomb, Can't let it happen.
You will not see a female superhero for like 50 years.
Every studio exec'll be like,
It can't work, it can't work.
But it'll be like Electra times Cat Woman times 10.
And Black Panther and Cyborg, same goes to you.
Do your job right.
Be careful. We need you here, buddy.
I don't wanna see Robert Townsend floating around
in Meteor Man again.
(train whistle blowing)
So which superhero movie do you think is going to bomb?
Let us know in the comments.
Andre, it was such a blast working with you.
The people of Wired and I wanted to present you with
a small token of our appreciation.
Oh great.
You remember the hat we gave you last time?
Yeah, I still got it, I was hoping to return it.
Well this is even better.
Can we bring that out?
Now we know how much you love the Turtles.
I do.
Go ninja. Go ninja. Oh my god,
Did you get me a technadrome?
Did you get me the party wagon? What'd you get me?
Go ninja, go ninja, go, go, go!
What the shell is that?
You're welcome.
Dude, it's so big. Mmmhmm.
You know I flew here right?
Oh.
Yeah, thanks a lot for the gift,
now I'm gonna have to pay $75 to check in.
Be sure to subscribe to the Wired channel.
And while you're at it, subscribe to my channel,
BlackNerdComedy, I have a bunch of figures
in the background, and now a giant Michelangelo figure
will be there too.
Don't forget to check out our other collaborations
with Andre over here.
Because they will probably be our last.
Well, at least you didn't get the 2014
movie Ninja Turtle Michelangelo.
Oo, see, a lot of people tell me they look
like me without a nose.
Oh yeah, yeah, if I put my nose up like this
and leave my glasses on,
I look like Donatello from the movie.
Hey, uh I bring a 99.9% trajectory,
'cause I'm the smart one.
That's how I talk.
I can totally see that now.
I bet if we paint ourselves green
and go onto the set, they'll just put us in the sequel.
'Cause that's gonna be a great comic book movie!
We're gonna get so many chicks together.
This is gonna be my wing man at the bar.
Oh, that is a very efficient piece of lady-repellent
right there.
I like putting on multiple superhero costumes
at once, 'cause then I feel like I'm a Krull, ya know?
I'm hipster Batman. That's who I am.
Hipster Batman?
Hipster Batman.
I got your latte. I have gluten free cappuccino.
I've been mourning my parents long
before you even heard of them.
Hearye, hearye, oh shoot.
Which superhero film will sucketh?
[Man] Just to confirm, Hulk is Marvel, right?
[Andre And Nerd] Yes.
Oh man, if you said that online, wow, you would be,
Excuse me.
You would be dead.
