Know Your Onions

Hello and welcome fellow Marvel fans to the Snark

Industries podcast. I'm John. And I'm Remy. And

we invite you to join us as we work our way through

every Marvel TV show, movie, and crossover. Meaning

if there's a Marvel character on screen, it's

fair game. All categorized in the temporal order

of their setting. By the time we're done, we'll

have built a complete start to finish timeline

of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. To accomplish

this goal and to have a bit of fun along the

way, each episode will be split into two parts.

The watch party and the deep dive. If you're

hearing this, you found one of our watch parties.

This is where we sit down with you and experience

a piece of Marvel media together in real time,

celebrating the high points and poking fun at

the low ones, because that's what heroes do.

To get synced up, here's what you'll need to

do. Pull up the movie or episode on your screen

and pause it right as the Marvel logo is prominently

displayed. Then come back here and wait for the

three -tone countdown. On the third tone, press

play, and just like that, we'll be watching together.

Quick note, if your version includes ads, you'll

need to pause us during those breaks to stay

in sync. Once you finish watching along, we encourage

everyone to check out the deep dive as well,

where we will do an in -depth analysis of the

information we just consumed. Most importantly,

we want to thank each and every one of you for

joining us on this incredible journey. We're

not affiliated with Marvel in any way, shape,

or form. We're just fans who are passionate about

these stories and these characters and wish to

share them with everyone in a new and exciting

way. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode

of Stark Industries. You'll never get me, Kappa.

Dude, the worst part about this is the fact that

this dude is Malik's father, not even the dude

that create shield. So how shitty is that that

he's at risk? His life is at risk because of

something his kid did. Time travel is funny that

way. Yeah, it's the baby Hitler thing all over

again. Oh, absolutely. Somehow. Is it? Yeah,

because it's like you said, it's not even him.

It's his it's his dad, you know, like. Yeah,

but this kid's at least he's a gangster. I mean,

he's he's not he's not squeaky clean. The baby.

You don't know how clean he is. He looks pretty

clean to me. Fair enough. Fair enough. Wow. Good

one. Giggle juice. I don't like how close that

man's talking. Take three steps back. Point at

me with that antenna. Yeah. I guess he wouldn't

even know what an antenna is. Let me take a shot

of this giggle juice real quick. Giggle it up.

Oh, oh, snap. OK, so he's not so innocent. I

don't think he would know what that is because

Hydra doesn't even exist yet, right? Yeah, but

how's that symbol even there? They've already

gotten the logo. Yeah. They trademarked the logo

before they even made the club. Yeah. Someone

was sitting around saying, we're going to need

this one day. I mean, that's kind of one of the

first steps, right? We had our logo months before

we launched our first episode. Yeah, I suppose

so. You got to start. What we're saying is we

are Hydra. Oh, yeah. Yeah, obviously. Oh, OK.

Not certain I needed to see that. The fun crossovers,

that's also MODOK. Yeah, you're right. You're

absolutely right. I totally forgot about that.

We'll see you again, sir. Many a times. Oh, you

tell him. She had to say hail Hydra. I mean,

couldn't say just Hydra. Yeah. Branded. Oh, what

a waste of a shot. Yeah, that was some perfectly

good giggle juice. Right. Especially during this

time. Prohibition, that shit's a gold. Plus,

it doesn't work that way. We've learned this.

That just makes a branch timeline. You're gonna

go home to your same old... Yes. Time travel.

They opened up a dangerous powder keg with the

time travel. It's funny doing this in temporal.

We're hitting time travel so early. Yeah. Yeah.

I am you. He just sounds evil. I know he's a

robot, but. Emotions. And looking at her stomach.

Sedate me. Good luck with that. I don't know

that we've ever seen May in the mood to take

orders. Well, I guess this is the first time

we're actually seeing her. Exactly. What do you

mean? I'm talking crazy. Sorry. The only thing

I know about May is I saw her stomach just a

minute ago. You're really, really stuck on that,

aren't you? I'm upset about it. Yeah. Oh, wow.

This means. The old syringe behind the back trick.

Nah, he's a droid. He doesn't know any better.

You were unconscious. What are they supposed

to take you with? Fireman carrier in there. See

if she wakes up. Oh, don't forget the casket.

Wah, wah. Hate it when that happens. Spoilers.

Hey, far from home. I wonder if that was intentional.

I'm going to say yes. I highly doubt it. You

think so? That's an entirely different branch

of the Marvel Universe that isn't even owned

by Marvel at this time. I'm still saying yes.

Okay. If they're making up everything else here,

I'm going to at least have a little tie -in that

I can hang on to. Fair enough, fair enough. I'll

add that to the Easter egg. Yes. Far from home.

Easter egg. I miss when everyone had cool hats

like that. We need to bring back cool hats. I

mean, be a trailblazer, man. Well. Everyone needs

a fedora. Yeah, there was a group of people that

tried that about a decade ago. Yeah. It wasn't

well received. Nope. I guess got his cock to

the side a little bit because he's a G. I was

going to say it was it was the the tilt. They

missed the tilt. Yeah. I recognize that actor

from somewhere and I can't put my finger on it.

Malik. Couldn't tell you. Coppers. Yes, I knew

they would say it. You'll never catch me, coppers.

You have a speakeasy with one door. You fool.

How dare you talk to MODOK that way? I mean.

But a speakeasy, the whole point is to be able

to get out. Oh, Canada. That bullet in the shot

glass. He's going to take a shot. I mean, just

drink a whole bullet. Yep. Yep. With blood in

there and everything. I mean, I guess it's somebody

else's body. Yeah. Yeah. That's a choice. I'm

upset. I'm more upset about that now than the

belly shot from before. This whole episode is

sending me for a loop. I love a kick there. Oh,

that's creepy. I don't like that at all. Say

this is an upsetting episode. There's the dead

lady back there. It really is. Without blood.

Give me some of that giggle juice. Oh, perfect

timing, lady. Yeah, right. He takes the one with

the least fire. Yeah, you guys take these ones.

Smart man. It's like, watch that blood down.

Yeah. Got to burn it out. Some fuzz on your peaches.

Wow. That's an image I won't soon forget. Mm

hmm. Mm hmm. Mm hmm. Ruh roh. Oh, man. Slow mo.

Wow. That was anticlimactic. I thought we were

going to have a diving catch. Same. Nobody even

moved. Oh, dear. Why are you still looking through

that hole, man? That's a very obvious open eye

spot. Right. Fix all my latches now. Yeah. All

right, they're gone. Let's immediately come out.

You see that massive D6 on the shelf? Sometimes

you just need a massive D6. Sometimes. That's

so stupid. I was giving him the hail hydro lockets.

Mm hmm. She's well traveled now. Back then, that's

a lot. I mean, that's. Keep correcting him. I'll

get it eventually. I don't think she's going

to change him. Dames and broads and all that

stayed around for another decade or so, at least.

Hey, she can fix him. I'm working on the walkie

talkies. I hear they suck. Maybe and all creepy

in the background over there. Yeah. Well, she

just Batman'd him. No, that was Mr. Talkie. Magic.

I'm dumb, but people like me. That guy has really

bushy eyebrows. Really thick. I can't stop looking

at him. Looks like a Franco. As the feds, they'll

tell you. Yeah, yeah. Always that last job. Yep.

One more job. That's how they get you. Arthur,

I got a plan. We know something you don't know.

Which one has the bullet? What? OK. Now, there

it is. Bullshit. You watched it. In slow motion.

Mm -hmm. Because you have a dumb hat on. That's

why. It wasn't letting the blood flow. Yeah,

it's pinching off the synapses in your brain.

Super Soldier Serum. Bergerka -derka science.

I hate when they just make stuff up. Ruh -roh.

Mm -hmm. Yeah, he is. Ooh, that's a face. Easy

Zima. Yeah, hope that little vial didn't open

up inside of the... The alcohol container, he

took a shot. It's in there. Just trying the wares,

man. And I'm way taller than you are. Yeah, and

my hat is cocked. My hat is sideways. We need

to get on the Verizon network. May to the rescue.

She's got her leathers. It's over now. Oh. That's

not a great response. Yeah. Beginning. The funny

papers. The funny papers. That's actually what

comics used to be called. I know. That's fun.

Yeah. Wow. I'm so confused as to. where their

timeline is right now. Yeah. Having bailed from

this show like three seasons ago. You get to

experience the same way our listeners will. Confusedly.

That's right. She looks like a mousy version

of Sigourney Weaver in Ghostbusters. Wow. Right?

But I'm not wrong. Let's take him on the airship.

Yeah. Blow his mind. Then you're going to have

to kill him or something. You can't just like

leave him with that knowledge. Well, I mean,

Patton Oswald's family or whatever this character's

name, I don't remember, but his his family is

pretty prominent in the rest of the series. I'm

guessing this is set up for that. Wow. Spoilers.

You're welcome. Out of time. Aren't they already?

I mean, that's fair. Yeah, I mean, this giant

man with his cocktads telling you to do something,

you better do it. Right. Especially with technology

you've never seen. What they shouldn't do is

both turn their back to that guy, though. See,

what a classic mistake. Whoops. Director, how'd

you get to be in charge of shit? Yeah, I was

going to say, these are S .H .I .E .L .D. agents.

You'd expect they'd be better than this. It's

one of the things that always drove me nuts about

this show. They're just they feel so disorganized

for being such a high tech, well oiled machine,

or at least that's the front that they put on.

Oh, they made the same mistake. Mm hmm. The slow

raising of the gun. Oh. He's doing the Neo treatment.

I know Kung Fu. Show me. No, that's totally what's

happening. Stop trying to hit me and hit me.

Yeah, pretty rude. Yeah, right. I bet she calls

them clankers behind closed doors. Wow. We don't

use that term. Right. I do appreciate how non

-lethal she's or he's being. Where she is just

going full force. Oh, man. Damn. I think I've

ever seen someone punched in the back before.

Yeah, that's pretty rough. As they pull up like,

whoa, whoa, what are you doing in Enoch? He looks

like he's just chilling. There's like, wow, that

was kind of rough. He had one too many giggle

juices. Yep. How many times? We're all dead.

I mean, this is at least the second time he's

been dead. Yeah, she hit it with it. You still

are, man. That's tough. Oh, man. If I'm not impressed.

Knocking on his head. This man's mind's blown

completely. Mm hmm. I love how they blindfolded

him to get him here and then just show him the

whole caboodle once he arrives. Well, I mean,

he can't know where it is. It's an airship. Can't

move. It could be anywhere. I know. I know. It's

ridiculous. So dumb. The blindfold thing only

works if you're like taking him to a secret base

or something somewhere. And it's invisible. Yeah.

All of that doesn't make sense. Absurd. Other

than just having this big reveal where he gets

to be like, oh, wow, stuff. Yeah. We kissed one

time. Yeah, she's gonna know your son, too, I'll

bet. Ew. Ah, not in that way. Creeper. I mean,

not necessarily in that way, I guess. You said

it. You started it. This isn't on me. No, you

said you. You're a pervert. I'm normal. That

made implications. So for takeoff and getting

up to speed, everyone should be sitting down

with the seatbelt on. You know, because of momentum.

She's still got the dumb hat on. Mm hmm. You

guys are in the airplane now. She's probably

got some pretty, pretty gnarly hat hair, to be

fair. Mm hmm. Got the minority report thing going

on. 17 minutes until I take over. Oh, a lot of

specifically 24s. They're standing right there.

That's bad trigger discipline. Yeah. That's how

you shoot yourself in the foot, literally and

figuratively. Mm hmm. Whoa, Daisy. Whoa, Daisy.

I know it's a little dark. Yeah, going behind

everyone's back to do this, too. Yeah. This is

how you aren't a hero, folks. Yeah, this is not

what heroes do. Kill that man. Trust me. That

does not look like a worm. Look at the stopper.

I don't ask questions. He just said that. Mac.

Look at the look at the lid. You can tell what

it is immediately. Right. That's what I'm saying.

Look at the stopper, man. Not yet, bro. See,

they got their branding. I must say, yeah, the

director's right there. Wow. That is a bark.

I have a little short tie. Let me live. That

that's a qualifier. Let me get a longer tie at

least, man. This is one of those things that

you he was. Oh, shit. Oh, he. Oh, OK. Yeah, I

would say, you know, he wasn't going to do it

to start with. I thought he was actually going

to try, man. That was that was a good little.

Everyone get your Tommy gun. As he gives him

a Tommy gun. See, love it. He fixed his head.

Yeah, he did. It was time for some of that spray

that the Wakandans have. Yeah. Head spray. The

Bacta. Bacta. Well, that's your fault. Blew your

whole wad at nothing. Right. Did it state somewhere

that he only had one bullet or something? He

fired off a couple. He squeezed off a couple

rounds. OK. All right. Max about to have a good

gun, though. Yeah, take the serum. Then you'll

be ready for anything. Really screw the timeline.

Captain Malik. Oh, man. Classic drive by. Yeah,

that was good. You got to hit the troops. Oh,

it's all out of all out of giggle juice. Oh,

man. Why don't we just throw the guns down? Yeah,

I don't know. Seems like good tech to have. Yeah.

Especially considering the fact that these guys

don't seem to care about bullets. See, that's

the gun you need. The Martians. The Martians.

I believe you, but my Tommy gun don't. Is that

from The Mask? No, that's Home Alone. The little

clip of the movie he plays. That's right. You've

got to help the animals. Get on your knees and

tell me you love me. That's right. Oh, man. I'm

glad they held the whole armory at their disposal.

They brought that guy a pistol. That's wild.

That's a sign they don't like you, brother. Yeah,

especially against things that can't die via

bullets. And there's no one else around to witness

this. Bust out the big guns, man. Keep telling

yourself that, kid. Put a couple bullets in our

shot glasses. Oh, shit. You don't know me. There

it is. Love a good trope line. Yeah, there's

a lot of them. A lot of tropes in general. Oh,

look at that. Now he's walking like a bad guy.

He's serious about it. He should have said hail

Hydra as he walked away. He looks so dejected.

Oh, man. I don't get to murder people. Lame.

It's a trap. That's a quick assessment. Don't

see it for a second. They left. There aren't

boxes and barrels to hide. All right. There's

not cover everywhere. They left. We're good.

Everyone get in the car. Where's Mona? What does

he care? Yeah, that's true. I like the way this

guy talks. Gotta get cadence. The future is secure.

Yeah, it's fun. Marvelous. You're just going

to leave an automaton in the past? Yep. Oh, man,

he's taking the long road. Yeah. At least he's,

you know, immortal as long as he doesn't break.

Up here he comes. Come on, Enoch. You got this.

Do that super jump you got. You can't you can't

pause the door for one second. Oh, of course

not. Dramatic timing. It's got to be perfect.

Oh. He's like, well, damn. At least you got a

car as long as they didn't take the keys. Oh,

well, not taking it. Guess I'll just walk around

this. See you in a few centuries, bud. Oh, yeah.

Shaken. He's going to be the bartender. He almost

did it. I would have flipped out if he said that.

Forever. Okay. That's fun. See, not that big

of spoilers. Well, I'm spoiled. It's within the

same episode. I could have been like, wow, just

then, but instead I'm not because of you. Well,

instead you were wow earlier. You're welcome.

I was just upset. Like the stomach. All right.

All right. Fair enough. That was actually a solid

episode. A satisfactory conclusion. All right,

folks, we will see you in the deep dive. Dive

in it. thank you for joining us in this episode

The watch party and the deep dive. If you're

hearing this, you found one of our deep dives.

This is where we slow things down and take a

more pragmatic, in -depth look at a piece of

Marvel media. We'll walk through the full plot,

explore connections to the wider MCU and Marvel

comics, highlight Easter eggs, unpack lore, and

of course, give you our own personal thoughts

and feelings. Although this episode stands on

its own, it is designed to complement The Watch

Party. So, if you haven't watched along with

us yet, we highly recommend starting there first

and coming back here for the full breakdown.

Most importantly, we want to thank each and every

are passionate about these stories and these

characters and wish to share them with everyone

in a new and exciting way. So, sit back, relax,

and enjoy this episode of Snark Industries. Hello,

ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Snark Industries

Deep Dive. Season seven, episode two, which takes

place in 1931. John, why don't you go ahead and

tell us what that was about? All right. So we

get the conclusion to episode one, as this was

kind of a two -parter blast to the past for the

Agents of S .H .I .E .L .D. Kind of left on a

cliffhanger before, but we get some somewhat

satisfying resolution here, I would say. So we

follow along as everything is sort of unraveling.

We have Freddy, Mac, and Deke sort of separating

themselves from the rest of the group as they

are there to sort of help him or hinder him as

this thing kind of changes with his delivery

of what's going on. Meanwhile, the rest of the

gang try to fix up the woman who was shot in

the previous episode who had given these vials

to Freddy to deliver. And we see very quickly

that these vials, as he tries to hide one in

a bottle of... booze that is called Giggle Juice,

which is still hilarious to me, that these vials

already prominently display the symbol of Hydra.

Branding. Branding right off the rip. As this

all sort of happens, they're working on her.

The Comicrons come in and sort of shake down

the speakeasy, and everyone is able to hide well

enough. Patton Oswalt's character, Ernest, is

able to... Talk his way out of it. A little surgery

that was done on his bar as a blood -covered

bullet was in a shot glass for some reason. He

was able to drink and hide the evidence of, and

the rest of them were in a hidden room behind

a picture that you could peek through. Scooby

-Doo style. Exactly. All while the other three

are on a train moving towards the final destination

of wherever this delivery is going to take place.

Back on the ship, we have May, who is now awake

and eager to get into the field. Enoch, who is

trying to stop her. We have a fight scene with

them. The other agents, in an attempt to try

to get back to Freddy and the delivery first,

talk Ernest into helping them. And they blindfold

him for some reason to take him to an invisible

ship, which is going to fly away and be gone

from this timeline anyway very shortly. Can't

let him know where it is, though. Exactly. And

as they pull in, they come in on this fight that's

happening between May. and Enoch, stopping it

from continuing as Enoch was getting his head

bashed in with a fire extinguisher. They load

up, fly out, and as they're doing so, these walkie

-talkies are finally starting to come back online

from, I suppose, being damaged or perhaps just

a part of being in the past and not working exactly

as they should. We have Daisy, who tries to convince

Deke to go ahead and shoot Freddy then and kill

him, even though the whole idea... Yeah, dude,

that was wild. Right. And almost borderline,

dare I say, evil. Yeah. You know, definitely,

definitely on the on the on the lower end of

good. If you try to say what you're doing, it's

the baby Hitler thing, right? You're doing it

to save lives. OK, but you're killing a guy that's

not yet done anything good. Yeah, it's it's it's

tough. So she tells him to do so when he, you

know, points the gun at Freddy and gets ready

to pull the trigger and says he's doing it under

orders. which he says to the director, Max, standing

right beside him, which is also just really crazy.

But ultimately, it doesn't pull the trigger,

therefore kind of preserving the timeline with

that decision. The Chromacons turn up and a firefight

kind of ensues between all of them. Everyone

kind of splits up to find Freddy, so he's not

able to make this delivery and he's not able

to continue on doing things. Ultimately, he's

found by Ernest, who lays his gun on the ground

and says, hey, you know, you're a lot of things,

but you're not a killer. And then immediately

gets shot. Not fatally, but Freddie does pull

the trigger and then adopts the evil walk that

everyone can instantly recognize. The bad guy

walk as he gets into the car with a nameless,

faceless figure and they drive off. All of this

is happening while a clock is ticking down to

where they're going to be effectively forcefully

X -filled from this timeline. So after all this

ensues, the Chromacons aside, we failed. Freddy's

alive. S .H .I .E .L .D.'s going to be formed.

Hydra's going to be formed. Let's just get out

of here. All the agents of S .H .I .E .L .D.

start... jetting back to the thing and ultimately

all are able to get there safely, minus Enoch,

who misses it by only a few seconds and then

goes and gets hired by Ernest back at the speakeasy

to be a bartender and theoretically will then

sit and be a robot through time and eventually

will link back up with the agents. He's taking

the long road. Yeah, a hundred years later or

whatever. Oof. That's the breakdown. The timeline

has been preserved. Freddy lives, thus Hydra's

formed, thus S .H .I .E .L .D. is formed, thus

all of these events can take place. So luckily,

it seems, minus the maybe problematic leaving

Enoch in the past, the timeline here has been

preserved, even though they were mucking about

with time travel, which is always a dangerous

game, which we discussed in previous episodes.

I think they did a good job here of not overly

stepping on the toes of how the timeline stuff

should work. Yeah, agreed. So tie -ins into the

MCU, obviously, and as we're approaching a very

big Nexus event with the creation of Captain

America, all this sort of stems from that, I

would say. Hydra Shield, the Super Soldier Serum,

all of this is sort of allowed to happen from

these events transpiring as if they're supposed

to or as they are supposed to. So that's the

tie -in. And I think that, you know, ultimately,

funny enough, the agents could have just, well,

I guess with the Chromacons there, they had to

intervene somewhere. Otherwise, the Chromacons

would have succeeded and thus messed up said

timeline. So, yeah, I mean, you know, a fun episode.

They'd have gone the Daisy route. Correct. Yeah.

You know, a fun way to kind of do it, ultimately,

while keeping the timeline the way it should

be, as almost as if none of them were ever there.

Minus the... introduction of technology to this

Ernest Koenig character, which you spoke on a

little bit about in the watch party about how

his family ties into stuff later. And I actually

didn't know that myself, as I've not seen more

than the first couple of seasons of Agents of

S .H .I .E .L .D. before I just burned out on

it a little bit. Yeah, totally fair. Yeah. So

that's interesting. And I said it may be a problematic

thing of leaving a super advanced robot. I do

want to address that when we get into the our

thoughts, because I actually kind of love that

they did that. OK, fair enough. Yeah. Hey, that's

that's what we're here for. It's all it's all

subjective. Yeah. Art is meant to be that way

and how it's consumed. And this is certainly

art. So, you know, I don't think it's a major

problem. I think that they can sort of live and

do, you know, without without it causing any

major issues to what is ultimately the sacred

timeline. So interesting, though, it looks like

maybe a little bit of a self -fulfilling prophecy,

maybe. You know, I almost in timelines and they

don't really do this in a lot in Marvel, but

other other things do touch on it with it's a

self -fulfilling prophecy. Like the Koenig family

is big onto that stuff. The robots were there

because they always went back in time and always

did that. That was always part of it. So I don't

know if that's what they were going for there,

but I like that how that fits with a nice, neat

little bow on it. Yeah, likewise. But yeah, so

and they talked about more tie ins. I said, obviously,

everything overarching, but they did talk specifically

about Erskine. about the super soldier serum,

uh, about the red skull and everything. So we

do get to see all of those things sort of, which

is direct tie -ins to a major, major event in,

in all of Marvel comics. I would say, overall,

those are the tie -ins that I see. Why don't

we jump over and talk a little bit about how

it ties into comic books? Yeah. First, we're

going to address the universe. Obviously, you

have mentioned a number of times the Sacred Timeline,

which, of course, is part of Earth -19999. Or,

if you want to listen to Doctor Strange, it's

616, which is wrong. But it is part of the main

Marvel Universe. I'm going to hammer on that.

I hate it. You are. Yeah. It is part of the main

Marvel Universe, which... as you said, has some

big implications for what's to come. And as far

as comic tie -ins, as mentioned, it's got the

Red Skull, it's got the Super Soldier Serum.

There's all kinds of stuff being built in that

we're going to see in future episodes, TV shows,

movies, everything like that. But the Super Soldier

Serum is absolutely massive. That is, of course,

the biggest tie -in because that is the kickoff

to the entire hero age. that Marvel has. Beyond

that, though, we do have similar to the previous

episodes because this is the continuation of

the previous episode, but we have references

to the Secret Warriors run from 2009 to 2011

by Jonathan Hickman, which is where the Malak

family was first introduced. So this is where

we got the origin of S .H .I .E .L .D. This is

where we got the origin, well, really the origin

of HYDRA, which then produced the origin of S

.H .I .E .L .D. and yada, yada, et cetera, et

cetera, basically what they were preserving this

entire episode. And of course, we've got the

LMDs, the life model decoys, which currently

Coulson is. So beyond that, not a ton of direct

pulls from the comics, but that's what I found.

And as far as Easter eggs are concerned, again,

mentions of Schmidt, mentions of the skull, mentions

of all the things that we're going to be seeing

over the next. God, that's going to be a big

chunk of our watching experiences, the Captain

America era. So I'm looking forward to it. Absolutely.

So overall, what were your thoughts? I liked

it. I said I thought it was a satisfying ending

to this little venture into the past. It was

cool to see some of the sort of tropes that we

talked about in the watch party. Oh, my God.

The Tommy guns, you know, the prohibition era

and kind of all that working. the tie -ins to,

let's say, big time events, which we discussed

sort of in the MCU and comic tie -ins with Super

Soldier, with S .H .I .E .L .D., with Hydra.

I said, I think that it was kind of a fun way

to see some of those origins without having a

dedicated movie, TV show, whatever, to that era

to get a little taste of that. Yeah, a couple

episodes did it just fine. Yeah, a couple episodes

just to show you kind of how it all started forming

up. Because I think that everyone is super familiar

with kind of what happens next. So it was kind

of fun to to see that overall, you know, I can

give my thoughts as this as a two part, you know,

I almost consider this one single episode. Sure.

Just because it was a direct continuation and

closure to this arc. I really liked it. I thought

it was fun. Even having missed several seasons

of Agents of S .H .I .E .L .D. before this one,

which we'll get to eventually. And I look forward

to doing that and catching up on on all of it.

Even just as a standalone, of course, there were

some nuance there that I'm sure that I missed

about some of the characters as I've, you know,

not gotten all those details. But even so, even

as a standalone, if this was just a two part

miniseries with these characters in it, I think

you could follow along just fine. I think it

makes sense and I think it's entertaining. So,

yeah, definitely worth a watch, I would say.

Yeah, 100 % agree. The things that I really,

really enjoyed about this episode were actually

the fact that they left Enoch behind with Pat

Nozzolot's character. What is his name? Ernest

Koenig. Koenig? I don't know how to pronounce

it. That's right, Koenig. So I love the fact

that they left Enoch behind with Koenig because

the Koenig family becomes such an embedded part

of S .H .I .E .L .D. in the future, which, again,

you didn't know, but you will find out as S .H

.I .E .L .D. goes on, you will meet many Koenigs,

which is really fun to have introduced their

forerunner, essentially, in this time. And the

fact that he was left with an android to... teach

him all these things to really ingrain him in

the tech, and he wants to learn everything about

robots at the end, and da -da -da -da -da -da

-da. I love that. That sets up so beautifully

for why this character and this family is so

embedded in the future. It's a fantastic little

way to just write him off. And this is the way

that a time travel episode should be done, or

a time travel story should be done, because they

didn't change anything. They didn't futz with

anything. All they did was give us context. And

a fun adventure to go along with it. Yeah. And

it was fun. And I enjoyed it. And I like John.

I highly, highly recommend it. It was a lot of

fun. Even if you don't have the built in backgrounds

of the characters, like we don't know why it

was such a big deal that this the gal. Again,

I don't remember her name because I'm not super

plugged into the shield team at this point. But

the gal that let the the wine bottle drop. Daisy

seems to think that she could have stopped it.

Yeah, I believe that's Yo -Yo. We don't know

this character's Yo -Yo. OK, thank you. We don't

know these characters as well as we would have.

We watched the previous six seasons, of course.

So we don't know if that character has some trauma

built in. So there's there's, of course, things

that we are missing watching it this way. But

even with that, highly recommended. Yeah, for

sure. But yeah, fun stuff. And we are about to

roll into Captain America next, which I am super,

super excited about. One of my all time favorite

Marvel movies. So we're looking forward to it

as we break it down. Our first Nexus event in

the formation of Cap. Yeah. We'll come on that

soon. Yeah. With that, folks, we will see you

next time. Thank you so much for listening and
