    HBO Lanterns Ep. 3–4: John Stewart’s Origin,Sinestro Returns, and “The Weenie”- Multiverse Podcast

    Jason and Scott review HBO’s Lanterns episodes 3 and 4 ***SPOILERS***, John Stewart’s childhood and family dynamics, including a Guardian’s role in selecting and training him and how that reframes John’s father and the family’s resentment of Hal Jordan, who repeatedly derails John’s life. They discuss Hal’s conflict with the Guardians, speculate about what oath Hal broke and how he knew a replacement was being recruited, and note the show’s “one Lantern per sector” rule and how this John blends traits associated with John Stewart and Kyle Rayner. In episode 4 (“The Weenie”), they highlight more Sinestro, Hal seeking information from him, a buddy-cop rhythm tempered by distrust, the uncomfortable nude interrogation drawing scene, the reveal involving the Manhunter, John’s relationship with the android, and theories about the Guardians as the deeper antagonist. 00:00 Episodes 3-4 Setup 00:15 Episode 3 Background 00:45 Sports Mom Training 01:53 John’s Dad Reframed 04:37 Hal Ruins Everything 06:07 Why Guardians Target Hal 07:48 Show Lore vs Comics 12:42 Episode 4 The Weenie 13:59 Sinestro and Broken Oath 16:28 Fandom Speculation Spiral 19:10 Buddy Cop Dynamic Tease 19:30 Hal Tests John 20:50 Sinestro Manipulation Debate 21:34 Too Much Lantern Tension 23:43 Darkness Gun Plot Hole 25:12 Rancher Full Monty 26:09 Lindelof Pacing Tangent 29:28 Manhunter Grandma Reveal 31:53 Town Conspiracy Theories 33:23 Guardians As Real Enemy 37:06 Yellow Weakness Lore 38:43 Wrap Up Next EpisodeMentioned in this episode: Outro Intro

    Marvel Turns Its Heroes Into MONSTERS - Previews Podcast

    Marvel is about to turn its heroes into monsters. What if Spider-Man actually became a spider? What if the good guys were the horror? This week Jason, Steven, and Scott dig into the new Midnight line — Absolute Midnight X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Spider-Man from Hickman — plus the DNX mutant-virus event, the road to Amazing Spider-Man #1000, MJ as Venom, a brand-new Miles Morales, and Claremont coming back for Gambit: Wanted. Then we jump over to DC for the Batman: Bad Seeds event with Mayor Poison Ivy running Gotham, the Kingdom of Zod crossover that finally brings Superman back, Ryan North on Flash, a World’s Finest issue where the Justice League plays baseball for the soul of humanity, and two books we can’t stop talking about — Supergirl: Survive and Ram V’s Black Tower. Somewhere in the middle we go fully off the rails debating why a great Marvel writer can flop at DC (and the other way around), and whether it’s finally time to get Bendis back on a Marvel team book. The Multiverse is your comic shop for all of it. Grab your pre-orders and back issues at multiverse.shop — the Midnight X-Men pre-order is already up.

    What’s up with Doctor Doom Right now? - Multiverse Podcast

    Is Doctor Doom actually the hero we deserved all along? That’s the question that ends up on the table — and nobody has a clean answer. Jason, Scott, and Steven dig into what makes Doom work as a character (and what breaks him). They get into *One World Under Doom*, Hickman’s Fantastic Four run, Doom’s unlikely relationship with Valeria Richards, his alliance with Namor, the "Doom would never strike a woman" John Byrne moment, and why RDJ has a lot to prove. They also make the case for why Doom sits somewhere between villain, despot, and reluctant hero — and why that’s exactly what makes him dangerous to get wrong in the MCU. Grab the books they talked about at multiverse.shop. Singles, trades, back issues — we’ve got you. ``` 0:00 Intro — Doomquest and the comedic turn 0:46 How Doom has to be written to work 1:35 One World Under Doom — are we better off? 2:30 John Byrne’s best Doom moment 3:15 Doom riding a bear 3:27 Doom and Valeria Richards — Hickman’s run 3:57 How Doom became Valeria’s godfather 5:00 Doom on Mephisto’s throne in Captain America 6:00 Doom vs. Darkseid — who can carry a story? 8:39 The MCU risk: don’t make him Ultron 9:34 Super Villain Team-Up and the Doom/Namor alliance 10:05 Dark Reign and the Cabal 10:44 "I’ll take the land, you’ll take the ocean" 11:14 Namor in the MCU 11:30 Buy all the Doom books ``` multiverse.shop If you’re enjoying the show, subscribe and drop a comment — where do you land on Doom?Mentioned in this episode: Intro Outro
