    Ouch...... Careful everyone, there's big spoiler just after 7:30 ... Skip to at least after 8:00. Also, just saying the word "Spoilers" doesn't help anyone ... You gotta say what the spoiler is going to be for, so people can have a choice and a chance. I do really enjoy these, I like you guys, and I want to listen, but I'm starting to realize that it's safer to not listen to any of them any more. I'm not trying to sound ignorant or aggressive, it's just I've been asking for warnings for months now, and if one slips before a warning, like one did at 7:30. it's pretty simple to, in editing, insert a statement like, "Spoiler warning for 'Name of Wolverine Story' in 10 seconds, please skip ahead 1 minute to avoid spoiler." I just know I cant be the only person who wants spoiler warnings. I'd hate to see you lose listeners due to spoilers.

    First of all, you guys are doing a great job both dividing up your topics to be more compact per episode making each episode much easier to understand what kinds of spoilers will be in the episode! Loved the Nossican reference. I always thought that as well. How do you guys hate The Mist? The Predator (2018) was one of the worst movies of the 2010's, not just of the Predator series. My personal Predator order: Predator (1987), Prey (2022), Predators (2010), Predator 2 (1990), The Predator (2018)

    • @TreeofGeek
      @TreeofGeek 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your encouragement and support! It's not that we hate The Mist, it's the ending (which we shall not reveal here) that annoys us both so much. Just 30 more seconds.... that was it.... ugh. The Predator could have been a decent movie if it wasn't a Predator movie. Throw in some other alien or creature and sure, it COULD have worked. But yea, it's horrible. I would have to say your order aligns pretty darn close to ours overall. Thanks for listening!!

    I live right next to Centralia. I may have to stop watching these tho. I was listening and heard a huge spoiler about planet of the apes that just came out of nowhere. Specifically about how a main character dies. I have them on my to watch list, and haven't seen them yet, but man, it hurts to get spoiled like that.

  • @steepfrugut
    @steepfrugut ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey guys I watched the first few minutes but I had to turn it off because I am very nervous about potential spoilers. I really think going forward your best bet is to avoid every spoiler for every thing that you possibly can. Like Josh was saying about a friend of his I'm in the same boat. There is a few episodes that I just cannot watch without being concerned about spoilers. I don't know if you guys are willing to keep all spoilers out of the show or at the very least once the show's been fully recorded go back and record a little audio blurb about what all has been spoiled in terms of what TV show or what movie and put that in the very front of the video so that people going into watching will know what to expect and whether or not they should turn it off. I know a lot of people subscribe to the idea that because something was out for a long while means that It spoilers are okay because people would have had time to watch them, but as somebody who has literally no income I am vastly limited on what I can watch and when I can watch it and also people just don't have time to watch everything that they want to watch. I mean obviously you guys can do what you want to do but that's just my recommendation.

    Dude! I am so stoked to hear that you guys are on youtube! I am so here! To answer the question, "Why does Luffy want to be a pirate so bad?" The answer is "His love of Freedom, and inspiration from his hero Shanks" On the Baratie, Nami acted like she was into Sanji cause she was working an angle. I LOVE the notes on Zoro, and great pronunciation on Roronoa, Josh! I am with you on Usopp being the weakest link in the show, even tho I like him. His 2 episode arc was VERY shortchanged from the anime, and I think that's why it kinda floundered. I think we will see some good things from him in season 2 ;) Side note, you can just jump into season 2 of the anime after watching season 1 of the show, if you want to. You don't miss anything major at all. The snails work because they are telepathic. You can dial other snails because they're all linked telepathically. Slugma. That's the Pokemon. Don Krieg, the guy Mihawk kills in his intro, was in the anime longer. Has a good fight with Luffy. Interesting fact, the pirate that Sanji feeds, with the sweatband, is part of Don Krieg's crew. Washed up on the Baratie after Hawkeye killed most of them I suppose. Josh, what you witnessed happen with the Sea Beast and Shanks, is called Haki. Feel free to leave it at that, or do your own research if you don't mind spoilers. Suffice it to say, it is known that SOME people can use Haki, but it's not super prevalent. (I HIGHLY recommend you DO NOT look it up tho) Sea Water is the weakness of all Devil Fruit users. if it's above the knee amount. Genuinely enjoyed the episode guys, and I am glad to hear you both really enjoyed the show! If you are seriously into the idea of watching the anime, might I recommend this: www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/skmed8/i_got_sick_and_tired_of_people_recommending_the/? It's a much more condensed adventure, with many hours of filler, intros midtros and outros all cut.
