>> Jason, I want to get out in front of the chat because since the last time you were
on a thing that the commenters do is that everyone who comes on the show has to be designated
with a Marvel superhero. Are you a fan of the MCU?
>> Of course, I mean X Factor, I've read so many Marvel Comics growing up.
So if I had to choose, are you gonna ask me what my who my favorite Marvel character is
or who I would be if I was a Marvel superhero? >> If the audience had to come back and they're
like, this is who we think you are, who would you hope that they say?
>> I would hope they would say I was Quasar, Quasar is awesome. Or who, maybe Cloak, Cloak,
I like the Destin ones from the MCU, not the Captain America's, the go to ones, there's
so many. >> Wow.
>> What five mutants in the MCU that kick ass that no one talks about.
So hopefully we have some big Marvel heads in the chat section that will that will pin
one of those on me. >> I just looked up Cloak, and looks awesome.
So what's interesting about this is we've had a couple people come on and say I don't
watch it.
I don't know anyone. We go all the way from that to you where your knowledge is significantly
more detailed than my own. I don't know who Cloak is, Quasar I've heard of, but don't
really know. I didn't read many comics growing up and the ones I did weren't necessarily
Marvel but mostly Spawn basically.
But anyway, good choices. Let's see what the audience thinks. Rob Shively says, how about
Moon Knight, Jason, are you a fan of Moon Knight?
>> I will take Moon Knight only because I like the way he acquired his powers. See,
some of these mutants get their powers in ways that aren't, they're not born with these
powers, right?
They're given to them by like an ancient ancestor, who now resides inside the person's being.
Those stories are cool. Yeah, you could be born a level five, a Jean Grey, a Polaris,
a Magneto, but when you go somewhere, you stumbled into someone who's like, I think
you're cool much like Shazam.
Even though Shazam's DC. Those are cool origin stories.
>> I've never been happier on the show than I am right now. Can I just say that?
>> Okay, I'm gonna try. I don't know much about Moon Knight. Although I've always thought
that Moon Knight looks awesome and I remember playing him in one of the Marvel games.
He got his power because like an Egyptian God gave it to him.
>> With o, with an o it starts with an o. But yeah.
>> Okay, awesome, awesome, okay. Lisa Burdick says if Jason has Cloak who on TYT would be
his Dagger. >> My Dagger it would have to be the TYT Beyonce
Ana Kasparian or.
I mean or no, no, no, it could be Aida Rodriguez she could be my Dagger.
>> I don't think that she's gotten a hero yet. Okay, we might have to go for that. We
might, let's see. Kenny from Philly says Jason is definitely Cloak. Quranic says Moon Knight
got powers from Egyptian God khonshu and Mei Makan said the same.
>> Yes. >> Exactly, yeah. We have some people, Carlton
over on Twitter also was giving us updates about Moon Knight, a lot of Moon Knight stands
in the audience today. >> People love, they love the B-side superheroes,
man. People are tired of the lead singles, they want the B-sides when it comes to their
Marvel superheroes.
Yes, fighting sure Iron Man, Thor, whatever, they're played out. Give us the real good
ones. >> Yeah, I gotta say, I never really got Spider-Man.
Okay, I watched the Tobey Maguire thought was fine. But I watched a couple months back,
I played the PS4 Spider-Man game, and I watched the Tom Holland Spider Man movies I thought
I sort of get why he's one of the biggest, he's fun.
>> He's fun. >> He's fun. They need to do, they need to
give X-Men The Dark Knight treatment make a real dark subversive, stop booking these
young kids to play these roles. Or do a whole Storm movie, just on Storm.
>> Sure. >> And her origin. The 2,000 X-Men movie which
Bryan Singer did an okay job.
>> I liked it, I liked it. It was a different time.
>> Right, it was one of the first, I mean, before we had really good CGI. And then of
course in the 2000s, X-Men United, X The Last Stand. But Storm is so powerful and gets no
play and never have Halle Berry play her again, or Alexandra Shipp.
Maybe, I don't know, Alek Wek or someone that's just different.
>> Yeah. >> That would be killer, MCU needs to get
into it. >> I thought Natalie Emanuelle would be good.
And then someone came back a few months ago we had a discussion about who should play
Storm and they came back with a perfect name, but I don't remember, unfortunately.
Well I'm sure chat will have some suggestions. But anyway, yeah, no, look the dark treatment,
I think it'd be fine. I just wanna see what an X-Men made to MCU standards would look
like. I'm dreading the casting, because they really nailed that part of it the first time
around.
But I want to see it, I like X-Men, that was like that of the comics I read it was X-Men.
>> Right, well, here's the beauty that now that Disney owns 21st Century Fox, which has
produced all the excellent movies previously, and then, of course, Disney owns Marvel Studios.
Maybe we'll get that finally a good X-Men movie that'll do it justice and not are hire
these young kids to play these superheroes. >> Maybe, Lupita, that's hard to argue against.
>> Hard to argue against, or else would be great, I don't know. Like there's Kerry Washington.
There's so many great black actresses that could play this role that would kill it, throw
Viola Davis in the mix.
>> Yeah, maybe, you'd get the drama definitely. >> Drama!
>> But I saw some suggestions in the chat for Storm and whoever keeps saying Helena
Bonham Carter, no, stop. Stop it, I lover her, no.
>> Okay, first of all, the only movies that Helena Bonham Carter belongs in are ones by
Tim Burton, her husband or ex-husband, not sure if they're still married, and Harry Potter,
or maybe she'll reprise her role in Fight Club.
>> Yeah, she was great in all those. I really like her personally but no, she's not gonna
be Storm. Obviously Storm is gonna be played by Scarlett Johansson.
>> Okay, no, first of all, we're not gonna contribute to the whitewashing of Storm here
on the Damage Report. >> Okay, no more talking about Storm everybody.
>> How are you gonna have another Wolverine? Solve that problem chat. How could you choose
another Wolverine after the last ten years? >> You know who would be a great Wolverine,
Hugh Jackman. That's all I'm gonna say. >> I could see it.
>> He'd be great as Wolverine.
Look, just offer him the role now. >> No read. Just give it to him. Yeah, I thought
you were gonna say like, who's the guy that played? It was in that last Mission Impossible.
I kind of see that maybe. I don't know. But no, it has to be Hugh Jackman.
>> Henry Cavill? >> Yeah, maybe I don't know.
>> Cavill played Superman. >> I know you can't do both.
>> Yeah, no, no, we're not doing that. >> Yeah, no. However, really fast someone
acknowledge. Someone said Bill Barr as Wolverine that's kind of funny. The Storm controversy
continues.
Someone recommended Thandie Newton. And I have to say-
>> Yes. >> After watching Westworld, yes, yes.
>> Yeah, she would be great. >> She would kill it.
>> These are different Storms that we're laying out, but it would be a good one. It would
be a good one.
>> She would be great. Also she was in Mission Possible back in early 2000s and she is, I
got to meet her on the set of Drag Race and she's an incredible woman. That's the thing,
look, Halle Berry would be great, again, if they would just give Halle better wigs and
better lines, and just a better, an overall Halle superhero makeover.
But Thandie Newton would smash it, would slay Storm.
>> No, it would be everything. And I'm not an expert on Storm in the comics, I'm sure
there's some stuff I don't get about that, but I think that should be really good. I
would say also, Halle Berry was really good and John Wick.
They gave her bad lines on those old X-Men movies, like so part of it isn't really on
her. >> Well, John, I interviewed Halle Berry at
the John Wick Parabellum premiere last last year and her character Sophia. We talked about
what it took for her to get in in shape, and be prepared for that role.
I mean, that was six weeks, 12 hour days, Halle's die hard and she's 53 years old and
still can kick some ass. Again, Halle, an actor's only as good as the script and the
direction that they're given. >> Yeah, yeah, I could still see it. I mean,
if I had to choose, I'd go Thandie.
I think, or maybe Lupita. I don't know, I can see both. Anyway, let's see some audition
tapes. I'm just gonna say to, I think it was Miles in the chat. Phoebe Waller-Bridge as
Storm, no. >> Never.
>> She's a treasure, but no. You don't like her?
>> No, I mean, Fleabag was not that good.
I'll leave it at that. It wasn't, I'm sorry. You know what's really good though. You know
what you should get into, Selling Sunset on Netflix.
>> I don't. I thought that was a real estate show. Is it not?
>> It's a complete real estate show and it's great television, really good television.
>> Is Phoebe Waller-Bridge in it? >> No, but I just wanted to segue away from
the Phoebe Waller-Bridge situation because I know I'm gonna get flamed for saying Fleabag
isn't good. >> Killing Eve, she's behind that
>> Absolutely, 100% Jodie Comer, and Sandra Incredible.
>> But I will say this last season was nowhere near as good as the first one.
>> Yeah. >> Also it's like Handmaid's Tale, right,
you have four seasons coming up. And when you run out of the initial content from the
books that shaped the story, you start going off into your own like weird narratives. You
kind of lose the magic. Remember that show, Revenge.
That was on ABC, Revenge back in the day. >> It's so good first, two seasons, incredible,
the third one, garbage, that's what's happening with a lot of these shows.
>> Yeah, I will say I read the books for Killing Eve and wasn't a huge fan, honestly. And the
the best draw of the show is Jody Comer, and her character in the books was not very good.
It's like all her, she needs to get in the MCU by the way. You know what, she can play
Storm actually, let's have Jody Comer as Storm. >> John, no, Storm is a black female
>> I'm kidding, I'm kidding. >> That's like having Julia Roberts is gonna
play Harriet Tubman, sure.
>> My God. Yes, that's true. What about like, Rogue? I don't know, we'll talk, we'll figure
it out.
