I mean no we're talking about deadly class because we got tons of great stuff to talk about syfy's newest series very dark very sexy and definitely has a lot of intrigue we're gonna be breaking down marks his backstory the intro to Kings Dominion all the clicks and the Black Arts assignment. Let's talk about it right after this. You're tuned in to AfterBuzz TV the ESPN of tv top. Now, let them go welcome to class after show. We are talking about season 1 episode 1 the pilot and I am your host even the mute tonight moderating the panel for this season, but I could not do it alone because I have three classmates here that are ready for murder ready for in. Intrigued and ready to talk about this great new show on Syfy joining me to my left. I have Raven French. Hello afterbuzzers. Nice to be here to her left. You may have seen her today on our watch along Angelica tray. Hello everybody and you know her from the anime after show all around the place that AfterBuzz TV from Soul Eater to everything else. We have Veronica Valencia. Hey, everyone nice intro. Thank you. I feel I really like Raven down with it though because I had like a tip for you guys. You may know her with the Sia cosplay killing it right now Raven French. Hello again. There we go. Everybody on the same level we're talking all about it guys. We're going to break down the episode with Marcus backstory the intro to Kings Dominion all the clicks and some of the characters and then we're going to talk about the Black Arts assignment before we get into kind of a little bit of craziness with SIA and not really know what's going on. But also we have a special assignment because let me tell Tell you Veronica has been reading deadly class the official graphic novel nice this big boy right here and I want to know how closely it resembles the TV show and I think you want to know that as well. I would hope you would want to know that as well and our special segment today is the comic corner with Veronica. Mancilla. So make sure you stay in tuned for that. And we also got some news and gossip with our own Raven French. But before we get into all of that. I want to know overall thoughts on the episode you go ahead first Veronica. Yeah, I mean, this is my third time watching this pilot. I'll be perfectly honest. I had seen it twice at a couple of conventions before they sent out the link and the only sounds out the link I was like perfect. So I mean when I saw it, I fell in love with it because it was just so different. I love comics and I love the fact that besides maybe The Walking Dead There's a comic series out there. That's not not superheroes far from it actually and so I just love the characters in the story and how we're going to explore this like gray area that all down with it. What about you Angelica? I loved it. I've seen the pilot twice now and it started off. It's just such a strong start to a season really excited to see what they keep doing with it. It's dark but they managed to keep levity somehow in the show. So I'm really enjoying it cool and Raven I would have to agree. I also saw it twice and I was tell him ironic or earlier that I am new to this. I'm new to all the Sci-Fi. And I did not know what order. Yeah, I did not know that deadly class was literal. No. No, it's actually about AP Physics. The first episode is very off subject. I mean, that's pretty deadly. Yeah. It's talking about the Apple falling from the tree and murdering people. Yeah, no, I'm gonna out myself as the as the terrible person on the panel who only watch the pilot once but see I like seeing your reaction to it. I like watching it with you guys. You guys are fun to watch with because you have really cool in sight. I love the soundtrack so far. It's terrible because I don't know names of bands but I recognize songs and I'm always like yeah and it fits so well, I think one of my biggest complaints with a lot of shows out there now is that the composer's kind of Take a lot of I don't know what the word is, but they just decide that they're like, let's use this song to put my friends band over and the band doesn't really necessarily fit the theme and I feel like because they set us in the 80s. Obviously we have Reagan on the TV's we're talking about things that are set in the 80s. It only makes sense that the soundtrack would be well-known 80s songs. So overall you guys like the soundtrack so far heck. Yeah. Oh, yeah enjoying it a lot. Okay. I don't know where you guys were in the 80s because everyone looks so. Young but this music is not familiar to me at all. I think I was outside playing I was I was a soon-to-be fetus in the eighties same same 1990. I won't even age myself. Oh, we all know your 22 you don't have to act like you're so let's go ahead and get into it. We're going to talk about Marx is back story because Marcus is of course our main character played by Benjamin wodsworth who I believe I We're definitely trying to get on the show right now multiple of us have contacts that like know him. So we're trying to like figure it out. But I really liked his portrayal of this character so far. Obviously, it's a kind of trying to think of the the whatever obviously it is a character that is flawed in a lot of ways. We get his backstory that he witnessed his parents being crushed to death by a schizophrenic granny, which you know, all of us have been there dark times, you know, there's a traumatizing know Normal, six-year-old things at it. How did you think of his portrayal of Marcus and play that against the backstory of the character me? Yes. Say that again. What do you think of his portrayal of Marcus put against the backstory of his character that we've been given, I mean, I think his portrayal of Marcus has been really great something. I'm just throwing this out there to is that Benjamin Wadsworth at least from what I've seen is fairly fresh Talent as well as a couple of other of the cast of characters to your and so I love the fact that they're getting their hands dirty with such a great role as this This and I think he has a lot to work with but also a lot to really take into consideration because Marcus is the he's very flawed and he's also probably I don't want to say weaker. But he you know, he doesn't come from a lineage. He's he has no Legacy. So he has a lot to work against and I think that it's gonna be an incredible journey to see how not only Marcus grows as a character, but how Benjamin grows with this character as an Her on what about you guys? So Raven when you're looking at a character like this, did you expect this backstory or were you thinking it was going to be a little bit more like maybe his parents were part of the CIA or maybe his parents had some affiliation with like murder groups again with the newness of it and learning that all of these it's had some killer background. No, okay. I did not everything is new. It's all new fresh. Never can. Expect anything so you're just along for the ride kind of I it's completely new. Yeah, I'm enjoying it. I think he's doing a great job. There's an improbably because he's fresh Talent. There's a innocence there for him, but I still wouldn't think this was someone who saw his parents crushed. So I feel like whatever that darkness is. That's their we're going to see a lot more of it. So Angelica base, Ston this character so far. Do you think that as she said the innocence of him? Do you think it's kind of like a character? This is being dragged through life or do you think he's gonna have like that ambition to actually go after as we found out in the episode kill Ronald Reagan, he wants to assassinate Ronald Reagan. Do you see this as a character that's motivated enough to make that happen. I think this is definitely an underdog type story. So we're going to see some things happen to Marcus. We're going to see some craziness insu. And we'll see if he follows through with it. I think a lot of it is going to be the journey to that and that's a lot of excitement. He's a very innocent character and we're going to see him get corrupted. I believe corrupted. So do we think that he's going to keep his sanity or do you think it's going to go the route of like insanity to achieve his goal? Mmm think he's gonna go a little crazy. Yeah, I go crazy. They're all already going a little crazy. So you think he'll adapt to the school? And fit in in terms of everyone at the still school. It's just a little bit off. I think as an audience perspective we are going to think he's crazy because even in the pilot episode he has a drive to want to help people despite, you know, the hoopfest that life has thrown him in the fact that like what we see with Maria the fact that he wants to swoop in and like help her from Chico. So I feel like he has a lot of drive to want to help people and so we'll probably think that he's crazy because it's like dude you've gotten no training. You have no crew to watch your back and you're gonna go in full force and like start trouble with people. So we're introduced to Lynn who are not Lynn De Rosa de loser right the teacher de Luca Luca. Sorry, I don't have the names are in front of me DeLuca who's teaching the class. They're doing Jiu-Jitsu and one of the first lessons they learn is to examine your opponent and find what their weaknesses and exploit it. Do you feel that Marcus is weakness is the shred of humanity. See that he's holding on to that nobody else in this school is or do you think that's going to be his strength while he's going through this? I think it's going to be his strength, I think because the world probably sees these people as monsters. We already kind of see in this series that they live in a society where there are a lot of people on the lower end of the totem pole that the higher end does not pay attention to so it's probably how the rest of the class is perceived. As you know, there nobody is no one cares about them and the humanity I think is Help them bring out like oh you treat me as a person. I want to like get to know you more and that's going to be his biggest like I guess accomplishment going forward is that he has that ability to see people as humans not as monsters, but that works in the regular world. I don't know if it's going to work in this school prison mentality type of place. I don't know if that's going to serve as a strength. He's already in trouble because of his heart and And Maria and the black guy that he fell for and Sia got him there just off of a kiss. I don't know. I mean, I mean in the real world, he'd be sweet. He'd be like oh but to survive that's cool. I mean the real world's already kind of ruined him though. I mean his version of the real world. Is he homeless in this Camp word if he doesn't give up like almost everything that he makes he gets a knife to his throat. I don't know and I think an interesting Dynamic is where inch to introduce to Willie and pertaining to Marcus and how Marcus is very open with the fact that he's not who people think he is and then Willie is putting on the front of who he who they think he is. Well Marcus is only been open to Sia. He hasn't told anyone else and that's because he thought he was about to die. That's true. So science doesn't know his backstory now, which is going to play into later in the season. Will she tell better guang's character Lynn. Let's go into Lynn. Actually. I really love Benedict Guan in this role. I think it's really good. It's giving me so many like Doctor Strange crossover Vibes, but at the same time I'm like man, what a badass. I think we're going to see him do some really cool stuff. What do you kind of expect from this character from just the pilot Angelica? Well from what we've learned so far from Lynn is that he's very vengeful character very much based off of sort of that moral almost High Ground of murdering people. So we're really going to see how he trains the students how he interacts with Marcus and then obviously some of that, you know his situation Ian and his relationship with SIA kind of unfold it's going to be really interesting to see Linda is a really interesting character. I'm excited to follow him a lot more in the show. We'll see what happens. What do you think and as a panel we can all go one by one and say but like starting now at the pilot. What do you think Lynn's intentions are because as of my perception, he's the one who founded this deadly class and he already got revenge on the people that he wanted revenge on so Is this all based on his life blood view that you know people deserve to have the Vengeance may put on them or is there some greater game that he's trying to build to against the Mobsters or against the people who he's like taking in going based solely off of the pilot. I would say he has baby just some weird view of like World Order of kind of thinking. Oh, you know sure we are killing people, but we are Are killing bad people which in a sense almost kind of is an interesting point of view from an audience to because it really tests like oh, yeah, they're killing people but they're killing what is perceived as a bad person who has also killed people and it's like I feel like for him. It's just a weird World Order thing where he wants to create balance. So it's more about an ideology as opposed to Vengeance at this point, right? Yes. Okay, I would say so currently and there was a huge character sort of defining moment where I think he was speaking to Marcus he Ed I give the peasants yeah tool to overthrow to give the peasants the required skill to Dethrone the corrupt Masters. Yes, and that I think is just what all of this is going to be built on and what his entire character is going to be built on do you think that's any foreshadowing to him being a corrupt master that these peasants have to Dethrone? Hmm interesting because I really think it's it's kind of like a weird concept of absolute power. Power corrupts absolutely, and he is in this role training these people to be murderers and I hate to get into the whole Trope that The Wanted movie got into or Morgan Freeman started taking control of things to prevent his own demise spoilers if you haven't seen wanted but this movie definitely has robbed are ya this movie has wanted Vibes to it. This show has wanted Vibes to it. If you've watched it. I'd be interested to see what his greater game plan is, I'd be interested to see what Sia means Him or who she is to him, but I do I know we only have about 20 minutes left. So I want to go into some of the characters. Let's talk about Maria right off the bat Raven. What's your impression of this character? So far? Her outfit is dope. I'll say that Maria. I don't know if I like her yet. I accept her clothes and makeup, but I don't know if I like cause I like Marcus I like it's something you just want to pinch his cheeks or something and her manipulating him at the risk of his life. I don't know. Okay, and you're like, I don't know yet. I like Maria's character surprisingly. I like that. She she kind of set the tone. I mean between her and obviously, you know, we're talking about Maria here, but Sia did some of that as well. It's setting the tone for the show. It's showing that she's Some issues going on in that hole the gang the what are they called us at the start of our toes so is it so thauvin Todo vatos? I have it right here. Sorry. There's some talk on and you can tell there's a bit of a power play here. She wants control exactly and I think it's setting that up. And so I really did like that her character. Has that single just go like you could tell she's very goal-driven and I like that about her. Okay and Veronica, were you obviously you've read the graphic novel to a certain degree. So you kind of know what's going on to a point and we'll go over the similarities. But the the the graphic novels fairly close to the pilot at this point, correct? Yes. Got it. So we can't talk about too much potential things. But do you think that do you think it's right or wrong what she's doing? To Marcus in this first episode again a lot of gray area. I think in a sense it's wrong because she is manipulating him to get someone else to do something for her. But I think it's kind of easy to see that her relationship with Chico is toxic and she comes from a world where all she knows is murder. So it's not out of the ordinary for her to want to be out of a toxic relationship and the only way to do that is Is to get is to get rid of the guy. So is it wrong to be manipulated because Marcus is naive sure but I understand where she's coming from the sense. She probably wants Liberation from a toxic relationship because we saw how he treated her. Yes pilot. She's not the nicest person and she's on those pills. So we'll get to see ya the pills. I looked up with the pills has Vox a perm or whatever will accept whatever it was. It is treating for bipolar. Other ISM and migraines, so perhaps she has a cruel streak to her as well, which would be great. I mean, I think it's really cool because we've seen her in skull makeup and we've seen her in normal makeup, which I guess is kind of showing two sides to the character and one is more one is the Incarnation of death and one is not one is just pretty and loves to kiss Marcus in the rain. Was it raining in my mind? It was raining. So let's talk about the other characters really quick. So Willie is The gentleman who he worked with for the dark black Arts thing Willie is a pacifist disappointed. He fits in perfectly. How do you see Willie playing into the whole dynamic with Marcus in the show? Well poor Willie for one. So we found out Willie's mother put him into the school, right? So that's kind of Terrible not setting up Willie for failure here. I'm just surprised he got this far without being found out. He's a pacifist. So we'll see sort of what happens here. But I do like the pairing between with Willie and Marcus since Marcus has already shown a little bit of that aggression. Now, he's growing into his own but Willie seems to be very firm and his stance for passivism. Do you think this show will corrupt Willie will he will He maintained his pacifism. I want to say maybe not but I don't think he would be willing to kill I think maybe if his TV has a first kill his first kill be out of like self-defense. Okay, well accident some freak of nature type of moment where he really didn't do it the person tripped and I will see him. He'll probably be like the smarts of it like organize the Intel and like make sure that they can take down whoever they want to take down. I don't know if we're going to build like a super squad. I'd say like Willie and Marcus will be in I think a lot more but again, it's a pilot. You don't have much character development to go on you. Just kind of have to go with what's going on. Obviously, we introduced a billy who's got the Mohawk Bill. He's a cool dude. I did Billy a lot. I think he's going to be more of the comedic relief in the show aside from like the obvious comedy. But I mean you see him kind of laughing about broken bones and the Jujitsu training you see him kind of being the NPC Guide to the game that is deadly class and Kings Dominion is like welcome. Let me give you a tour. This is where we murder people. This is where you get your lunch. This is where you get a laxative and shit your pants. Hey my language, but I see Willie being around for a long time. I don't see them killing him at all. Now Victor is another character. We're introduced to who just kind of becomes the butt of the laxative joke from the previews. He seems to have a very crazy attitude towards life. Do you think we're going to get these characters interacting together for one kill or do you think it's going to be very separate throughout the series? I think I think it might be separate. I feel like our Core group is going to stick together a lot. I would say Maria Billy Willie Marcus and Sia. Okay, and I would say like they would have small interactions like because you know, everyone there just based on their clicks kind of have different skill sets. They might need to collaborate from time to time. But I feel like it would mainly focus on those five. Well, let's talk about the clicks the Dixie Mafia. They seem like nice folks stand up. Not really. So there the white supremacist. They're the they're the ones supremacist definitely not nice people the Hessians we brought the Hessians out of the way. Okay, like let's let's bring that out. We're briefly brought us briefly brought the final world order, which they said we're party bombers. Does anyone have more information on kind of who is the final world order? Because we don't get a lot and then we have The kuroki Syndicate, which means it's basically Sia, who is a Yakuza from my understanding of the show Lynn is Chinese for sure and if it's going to be her being Yakuza, she's Japanese. So maybe they're not father-daughter, which what I kind of got the feeling from the end but making sense more in like actually analyzing. It doesn't seem like they are so What do you kind of think as being the most aside from Chico because Chico's going to get out of the picture soon. I'm assuming who do you think's going to be the most belligerent towards Marcus moving forward once Maria takes control of the south of Otto's. Lynn Lynn I felt he's got an agenda and I feel like well, I was gonna say this earlier but I feel like right now we'll both William Billy are going to be like Marcus's pillars because he's gonna obviously relate to Billy a lot because like him Billy doesn't have a place in this world and like Willie will he's a pacifist. So there's a sense of humanity there and that they don't want to be murderer. So they're going like Marcus is already in a very small sense finding a place here because of the people he's starting to connect with Okay, so I feel like they're gonna see a sense of like hey, you're like me because I don't belong and Lynn has an agenda and I feel like he'll be very forceful to get that agenda like to think that every Clique has an agenda though, or do they not do you think these cliques have like things that they're doing? I feel like every one of them would have their own kind of set of rules and kind of their own thing that they're trying to get out of this deadly class at Kings Dominion, but maybe I'm wrong. I feel like I just don't know enough about this. School of what the graduate programs are job placements are or how they are graded or how these cliques are put against each other. I feel like they have to be put against each other in some respects outside of the school. Right? I think it's a dominance thing. Honestly, really? Yeah, which which gang is the top gang which gang rules the school so to speak. Hmm. I'm confused that I guess confused that Master Lin allows that mentality there that he actually if their rules and he is Is who he is you can you should not be able to kill someone in that place? Yeah, not just like kind of an unspoken rule of like gangs have territories and you don't but I feel like he going to troll territories. Well, it's just an interesting Foundation to put the show on because when you're dealing with something like this and when I assumed when I look at the show from a third person without knowing anything about it, I'm like, oh like everyone's going to be assassins out for themselves are murderers or whatever. Like, how is this going to go and putting the clicks? Do it with like the gangs from outside of the school and everything feels like how are people actually going to learn anything or get to a point where they can graduate or get out of this class to achieve whatever Lynn's agenda is if they're all just going to get murdered all the time. The the only Theory I've come up with is that Lynn is creating his own gu does anyone know what gu is. So G use a Chinese concept of taking all of the poisonous insects, you can find and putting them in one container until they just keep killing each other and killing each other until one rains on the top. So possibly lens agenda is to create this hodgepodge of murderers and get the strongest one and basically put them through the ropes by killing each other until he only has one person left. Hmm. And that's going to be the strongest assassin who can do whatever Lynn wants. I mean you did see or we did see a little bit of that with the scene with the photos on the table. So I could see that a bit. However, it doesn't seem like there's a culture of trying to kill each other at that school. It really just seems like a chico thing, but I'm not sure this school seems like it's been around for three weeks. I mean, I'm gonna be honest. It doesn't seem like all the characters have that much history, but we haven't seen them really interact with each other. Just been hazing the new guy so far, right? So I hope that we get something that like brings Traditions to the school because I feel like that's what we're missing aside from giving their new guy. That's a rat rat skeleton. We really haven't seen much aside from just teachers teaching them poison and then them lacks giving laxatives to the Russian dude. Hey, so like I don't know if you can speak to this at all Veronica, but does this really does this have a lot of world-building as we move forward into the show? I would say it's a lot of After building, okay as it goes forward, I think I mean and we will obviously get to those a little bit later when we dive into the comic but I feel like the show at least in the pilot was really trying to establish Kings Dominion and in the comic it's very there's a lot of adventures with characters. It's very character building. Yes. Okay. So it's the my hero Academia of murdering people. Yeah. Sure. Yeah, which Really if somebody is if that was the elevator pitch I'm sold. Hey you like my hero Academia. Imagine if they murdered people. They're very gallon Academia. Yeah, it's just my villain act. Like I don't know they could be heroes Heroes and their own story. Did you watch the same out? So I just watched they don't seem like Heroes. I mean he will that Chico guys seems like straight here at Material. Wow. Did you see his tattoo and had a crown with dots on it? That's just the sign of a hero. Oh, right royalty. Yes. I'm same thing for sure. Absolutely the same thing shout out to everyone in the chat. William cars has Darwin's theory applied to murder interesting Randy. Dela Paz says, we need more villain stuff like Venom. I don't know if we need a villain in this show per se may be a conspiracy that they all kind of go against Lynn. I'd like to see that possibly if Lynn becomes the villain that everyone at the school kind of has to keep stuff secret, but then actively obey the rules but not obey the rules right? That might be fun we Yeah, I was gonna say something because I think it's interesting that you're posing Lynn to be a possible villain in a show full of murderers, which is like off the bat you think oh, they're all villains. And so it's just a very interesting Dynamic of like are they all going to be villains or do they all just have a lot of history? And it's a lot of gray area. I mean, here's the thing with Lynn that we've learned when he got his revenge or at least how he tells the story. He took out the truck driver. / he took out the person who was not doing the checks the owner of the company and he took out the judge. So Lynn is like Lynn has a very broad mindset of people who are associated with them the death of his wife and daughter. So, I mean when you're looking at somebody who's mind can go that far to associate people with it. It's not really hard to think that lets say one mob family was associated with that and then let's say they were Associate with other mob families and everyone's kind of got red threads and his whole thing is he's developing this master plan to kill a huge net of mobsters around the world linked linked to like in some way butterfly effect to his wife and daughter dying. So if Lin's Master game is to kill all of these people and get all these families and basically murder everyone. I'm on board. I dig it. I dig it like if we are unveiling that throughout the Ins so on board because Benedict Wong. All right. So you're saying he's not a villain possibly for you and your mind I'm saying I'm saying he is he is a villain in the strictest sense of from the outside. He's about to murder a whole lot of people right? But again, we're going to his ideology and his ideology is if the means justify the ends and people deserve to die. I mean, he's all about people deserving to die, but that's where I think that Marcus has a Important role because Marcus is unaffiliated. So if you was going to kill everyone and he needed like a linchpin to pull that grenade like Marcus isn't affiliated with anyone. It's just a guy off the street if anything Marcus is going to be more affiliate with wanting to carry out Lynn's plant, but we're getting that predictions. I don't want to go and throw that off the top too soon, but think about it like why would he bring in somebody to the fold that has nothing to do with Mobsters at all? Unless we're going to discover that his parents were like mobsters and he just never knew about It and maybe the granny was thrown from the building and didn't jump but how can I make it right? He's already had a crap life. I mean what if lying what if Wang through the through the schizophrenic old lady from the building to hit his parents who never know. I mean, I always keep an open mind to all these conspiracy theories and shows like this. It's fun. He definitely has an agenda that's a bigger than caring about them finding their killer voice and he seems like a Seems like a patient guy. I'm gonna do this now. He's a kid. I'm gonna wait a couple years and mine, you know who else are patient people are fans. Yeah, and you're a fan should do they should definitely subscribe shouldn't they?

Yeah, and now now seems like a perfect time to jump into our news and gossip after I feel like there's so much more we could talk about what the episode but at the same time. It's like a pilot like it's all introductions and everyone's watched it. So if there's anything else you guys want to talk about mention it at predictions and we'll make sure we get to it but Raven, I believe you have some news and gossip for us. What do we got? I have a little bit of news some interesting information that I learned about the show and it kind of comes up in our conversations. But when the writer Creator was pitching the show he had one condition and his condition was that he stay heavily involved with the show. Thank God. Yes. So what we have right now is a Creator who's also the lead writer and the showrunner of the show. So he's there he's working. 80 hours plus a week. He did not want the characters to lose their integrity. So we're watching you know, how sometimes you watch a movie. Let's just say Robert Kirkman not being involved in The Walking Dead was fairly terrible for The Walking Dead exactly. So now in this case will get to see it unfold will get to see how not to mention. Let me mention this. I'm sorry the he still riding the comics. So at the same time that he's writing the comics Which is far ahead of the television series. Ruiz he has to continue to write the television series as well. So I think that's really cool and he's kind of living in Both Worlds at the same time without getting them mixed. So I look forward to seeing how this progresses with having him as a showrunner that's dope. I really like that and I hope that if he ever decides to step away from the show, they end it rather than just put other people involved and just Massacre the ending like Dexter as people in the chatter mentioning which I cover the after-show for that in the last two seasons that show it were absolutely terrible. Sorry guys, you guys move on to our special segment before going to predictions. Come back corner was the running couple Lucia could cook a comment. It's cool. So brides are gonna tell us a little bit about how the pilot reflects the novel definitely. So for the most part I can definitely say that good news as we had mentioned the fact that Rick remender the creator of the series is a lead writer on the show is great because it means it can stay very odd. Take and I can say that that is gently what's going on. Obviously the comic moves quicker. I think the show will spend a little bit more time developing characters and kind of giving the audience of view on like the world of who you know, these I guess clicks are like who the sato's are and who's the first world order and The kuroki Syndicate and it's definitely going to play a little bit more into Kings Dominion and give us a little bit more of that. Character building and World building because there's a whole lot of wild stuff that goes on in the comics. Let me tell you so it's I think it's going to stay pretty it's going to stay very accurate not super super accurate because then this would be an HBO show. Oh, is it that dark? Is it that Bloody dark? Yes, the this is not too much of a spoiler but something that's great about this comic and I think that is going to be great about the show. And also what would make it an important show Is the fact that this cast is so diverse. We have a diverse cast this comic deals a lot with mental health, which I think is very important in this world of people trying to not feel like it is a stigma it deals a lot with that. It deals a lot with just all these other kinds of issues. It's very interesting. What else got it cool. I'm excited. Um, let's just say I think Phi is going darker now, I think they're willing to push the envelope a little bit with this. So I'm really excited to see what they do with it from the pilot into where it goes in the graphic novel. How does it compare in terms of Gore Enos and how and in terms of like darkness is the is the novel a lot darker than the pilot area it is. Okay. It's definitely a lot darker backstories the same though backstories. Yes. There was saying there might be like a little tweaking here and there but marks Marcus's backstory is completely the same. The thing that I loved about what the show did is that it is taking the art style directly from the panels and put it into the show like the little animation sequence. We saw with Marcus's backstory was the animation in the comic and I thought that was brilliant. So even if you're not reading the comic just know that it that's what it is and mad appreciation and respect as reading the comic ruined the show for you or do you think that is an addition that is great to do as well. I think it's an additional medium that I'm very happy we get to have Cool. Alright who's excited to read the comics now? I am George you just got here pressured and I read through a little bit beforehand will definitely say I will definitely give a warning there are some very graphic moments that some people might not be into we're like, okay. This just got a little too wild for me hashtag trigger warning sure great. Let's move into predictions. So I've basically been doing my crazy side. I conspiracy theory dumb guy brain throughout this thing. So I want to know what you guys think is going to happen. Looks like the three main things you think are coming. You can go first Angelica. Obviously Veronica knows a little bit too much and I'm like should I I mean, I could technically give still get some predictions, but I have to like tell filter me. Yeah assume the show will Branch away maybe From the Source book just a bit just a bit. So my predictions are definitely that Lynn is going to serve as sort of a guiding character. He's going to be sort of that Sage character and what's going to happen is maybe he'll end up as a villain. In the end towards the end of the season. I don't know. I still don't think we quite have a villain character. I think they're going to let themselves be known but perhaps we'll see Marcus sort of take a really really dark turn. We've already seen a little bit of that towards the end of this episode. Hey, I mean, he only took a wooden plank to somebody's face. So I don't think it's that dark. Well, it was Rory. So sorry Rory womp womp Raven you're new to the genre. Yes. What do we thinks going on? I think Master Lin is the villain. Okay, I think his agenda is completely about himself and not about the kids and markets won't be able to handle it. I think I think Marcus will become kind of the hero kind of the you know speaking for the people. I guess they'll follow him. I think the chip on Marcus means something that we don't know about yet, but I think it kind of means that he's who's who list Targeting to be his own Minion because I feel like in a place where there's the yahoos of the CIA the FBI and everything Lynn is kind of left to the sidelines without anyone and I think he's trying to bring people in the fold. So Sia, maybe even though she's Japanese may be related to him in some way because again, his other daughter was Nia. I just kind of have a feeling that like, he's not good at non-rhyming names and he just that's what I have a feeling for. But yeah, I think that the reason that lint that Marcus was brought in because he's unaffiliated and as much as I make summer at it also makes them extremely valuable to ever get some and I feel like a recruitment drives going to start people are going to start giving him enticing offers to kind of be on their side once she goes out of the way and I think Maria is totally lying. I don't think she's into him at all. It's all a means to an end. Can't trust. I think she's into well can't trust them I ship it, but you can't make a ship named for Marcus and Maria because it's already mer. Right. So what's the hashtag? Mari are guess Mari Arcus. My I'll go with Maria Arc is hashtag Marcus. That's a terrible. My goodness me a little bit. I think I dig it. Well, thank you so much for everyone for tuning in.
