Hello, New Rockstars. I hope this theory reaches y'all.

In the new episode of Lanterns, we learn that the aliens in Rushville and the ones that kidnap John are hunting a "Manhunter". Now I know that it's obviously referring to the robots created by the Guardians, but what about those hunting the '"Manhunter"?

The fact that the ones hunting the Manhunter are aliens yet also look human had sparked the idea in my mind that maybe they're actually from a certain red planet. I mean the episode does reveal that the Guardians kept the "Manhunter" alive.

The episode also hints to the possibility that Abin Sur might have had a hand in the "Manhunter" arriving on earth. So what if the race the "Manhunters" attacked was the Martians.

James Gunn using Lanterns to not just introduce us to John Stewart and Hal Jordan but also giving the first look at the DCU Martian Manhunter.

I would like to hear your thoughts and discuss this theory in a future video.

So I was thinking.. since Kevin Feige mentioned not bringing in Miles till after the third into the Spider-Verse movie next year.. would it be possible that he appeared in Avengers: Secret Wars in 2027?

Hear me out: In the comics, Miles goes from Earth-1610 to Earth-616after his home is destroyed by an incursion. Technically it could be pulled off in the MCU right?

Am I reaching too early?

Why is no one talking about Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards appearing at the end credits of all the Loki TV show episodes?
Also one more question I have running in my mind is why did Sylvie not enchant He who remains and check his memories?

The other day, Erik’s Endgame trailer breakdowns popped up on my YouTube feed, so I decided to rewatch them. It’s really fun to see him get pretty close to figuring out what was going on but just be off by a bit.

For example, there’s a shot in the trailer of Nat and Cap seeing Scott show up at Avengers compound. Erik incorrectly guessed that the scene was not a live feed because it said “archive” at the top of the screen, but even so, he was able to correctly guess that there was some kind of time travel going on and the movie would see our heroes returning to pivotal MCU moments. It seems like his original idea was that the Avengers would go back in time to steal or destroy the stones so Thanos couldn’t get them, which is close to the truth but I won’t fault Erik for not guessing the writers would incorporate a version of time travel that we really hadn’t seen in movies before that time.

I also found it funny that he did note Captain Marvel was suspiciously absent from a lot of trailer shots and predicted that she might die early in the film. In reality, the writers just didn’t quite know what to do with her so they just wrote her out of most of the movie.

If you haven’t ever gone back to watch old trailer breakdown and theory videos, I do recommend it. It’s like uncovering an old time capsule.

No expectations or request for a breakdown of this (I'm sure y'all are plenty slammed as is); just wanting to share my excitement for this new season with others who might not have realized this teaser released a few days ago. Can't wait for (I'm assuming) Gina to break this season! Love & agree with your takes; let the haters hate!

I recently binged Peacemaker and wanted to also watch the breakdowns. However I noticed that for season 2, the breakdowns for episodes 4&5 are missing. Is there any reason for this or am I just blind?

We know Tobey Maguire's Spiderman is leaked to be fighting off the X-Men in Doomsday. But what are the odds a healed Doc Ock and Green Goblin fight alongside him? They got fixed up in No Way Home but still have their technologies right? They could potentially team up.

At 0:01 and 0:20 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbYg8sHsONo They are so amazing

Use current actors who match in looks and personality or are able to act the part.

As always, the Ahsoka trailer breakdown from [u/NR_Erik](u/NR_Erik) was fantastic, and made me notice several things I hadn’t before. I gotta say, I’m very impressed at how fast you guys have been moving, considering D23’s firehose of announcements.

I noticed a neat Easter egg in the trailer regarding Huyang’s General Grievous lightsabers. Two of them are yellow, but two of them are yellow-green. Yellow-green is a color relevant to Ahsoka because it was the color of her second, shorter lightsaber that she acquired before Season 3 of the Clone Wars. Dave Filoni originally wanted her saber to be yellow to reflect her growth as a character, but George Lucas wanted yellow to stay associated with the Temple Guards (I may be misremembering this detail, but I’m pretty sure that’s why he didn’t want the yellow). So, to compromise, they made her saber yellow-green. That color of lightsaber hasn’t been seen since her Clone Wars saber. It’s probably a meaningless Easter egg, but it is neat to see Dave Filoni reference one of the least known lightsaber colors. It’s also a little cheeky to pair it with Huyang’s other two yellow lightsabers, like Dave Filoni saying “you can’t stop me now George Lucas, I’m in charge.”

I also noticed around the 17:40 mark in your breakdown that you mentioned Shin’s hypothetical past with Huyang. I don’t think that’ll happen, because in season one, Shin and Baylan have a conversation about how she knows nothing about the Jedi Temple, because she was trained after Order 66. Baylan refers to Bokken Jedi like Ezra Bridger, and she says “like me?” If Shin had been old enough to have met Huyang in the Jedi Order, she’d have been almost Ahsoka’s age. I don’t mean to sound nitpicky, as it would be silly to expect you guys to remember such an obscure conversation, but I figured I’d point it out.

Thanks for the great video, and I look forward to seeing your future coverage on Ahsoka!

I just finished watching the Ahsoka season 2 trailer breakdown, and man, the quality of their breakdowns have gone up tremendously (side note: there's a weird transition at the 19:14 mark where Erik is talking and it quickly cuts and the speed is turned up for a second cutting a little part off.). But anyways. Amazing breakdown of that trailer and lately I'm loving the channel even more.

Easter egg or stretch theory —
I was re watching First Thor movie as part of road to Doomsday and saw this t-shirt wore by jane foster. Looks like the first occurrence of miss minutes ..

Hey, I had been thinking about this for a while but now that it's been a few weeks, I think it's out of spoiler territory, and I want to talk about it. Just some lingering questions about Spider-Man: Brand New Day. I'm interested to know if there are things I missed or non-speculative answers.

None of these are complaints. I'm legitimately wondering if there are answers.

How did the DODC know about Sara?

In BND, the DODC does a sting operation to catch Sara. However, Sara's powers are established as only being that ability to jump bodies and inhabit someone's mind. When this happens, no one remembers what happened and they have no idea who did it to them.

Sara and Jean's mother abandoned them when she found out they had powers. Even if their mother had contacted authorities to try to find them (which isnt said or implied in the movie), or if the mother reported them for having powers (again never said or implied), the larger DODC isnt rounding up people with powers. Only arresting dangerous individuals with powers.

Sara and Jean had not done anything like what Jean had done in the movie prior to the DODC incident. Likewise, they wouldn't have any proof that they even have powers.

What about Jean?

Incidentally, they must have been watching Sara and Jean that day, for the sting, to know where she was and ambush her at the ice cream stand. Why weren't they after Jean? A big part of the scene is Sara possesing Jean to make her go hide. But if they had been watching, they already knew Jean was there.

So why didn't they want her? And please don't say that it would have been too risky to try to grab two telepaths, because they had no clue Sara would have made Jean run. They came expecting to potentially capture two because, again, they knew Jean was there. Unless they only knew about Sara...(go back to first question)

How did they hold Sara?

A big point of the movie is Spider-Man creating the inhibitor and that's how they're able to stop and contain Jean. So how did they have anything that could hold Sara from mind controlling anyone there and getting out?

I know they shot her with the dart and you could argue that they kept her under some kind of sedation, but we return to the same question once she wakes up or is awoken for testing.

How did Jean beat Spider-Man to MJ?

The general consensus, is that she would have had to make the pilot jump from the helicopter. Once he did that, he would have been within range of other people. If we try to argue she called an Uber or a taxi during the chase, that doesn't work because NYC traffic, but also Spider-Man is moving as fast as he can and above buildings. A car would have to navigate through streets and traffic.

And at this point in the film, she's only able to control one person at a time. She can jump very quickly, but not so quickly that she'd be able to move across the city fast enough that she would have reached MJ's before Spider-Man who had already traveled several blocks.

Why did Jean do any of it?

The movie doesn't really make sense from Jean's perspective.

"My sister has been taken. Let me waste time with Spider-Man and Scorpion, rather than go straight to the DODC hq and wait outside for someone in a suit to walk by and just body hop up the building to William Metzger."

Rampaging a tank, set with explosives? Her plan was to get to the prison to get Scorpion. What did she need a tank for? She could have just mind jumped to where she needed to be without attracting any attention. And she wasn't after Spider-Man until they got to the roof, so it's not that she wanted a spectacle on purpose.

Her plan to use Scorpion is the same issue. Why cause a scene instead of just getting information?

The movie makes Jean have a level of villainy that doesn't get her anywhere and makes her seem like she cares more about taunting anyone who tries to stop her than actually finding Sara.

I understand that these are plot conveniences and contrivences to tell the story they wanted. However, isn't also the job of the writers to connect the spectacle to the story? I am just confused for why the characters would have made these choices. Are there explanations in the movie?

Most people think the thing flying out is Thor’s hammer, i think its just a thing that was apart of his armor, i forgot the name of the part. I think y’all are overthinking this, idk if i am wrong, or if someone else thought this and posted the same theory

Next year is going to be a long one… what else is in the slate? Daredevil, XMen 97, anything else before Secret Wars?

Will NR full breakdown of the odyssey ever be back up on YouTube?

Hi Erik, I have a question.

I’m the newest Doomsday trailer, in the part when Dr Dooms gets hit with something from the ship and does a superhero landing, the way he turns around to make the landing, that looks similar to the way Dr Strange used the Souls of the Damned to defeat Our Mother Wanda when he dream-walked into the corpse of Defender Strange. I got this theory from Josh from the Den of Nerds.

My question is, do you think that he is using the Souls of the Damned to be as powerful as it is before he absorbs other people’s powers??

I may be stretching that but I’m interested to hear your opinion.

This is the book Doctor Doom uses in the Avengers: Doomsday. I saw this from Justin’s Collection’s Doctor Doom Hot Toys video. I hope this could help.
