After Rome moved its capital to Constantinople in 330 AD, the empire survived until 1453, making the Eastern Roman Empire the longest continuous empire in history.
AZ "I haven't seen it because i had my heart broke." What he means is he doesn't want to review stuff like his channel is known for now. Also if people didnt watch someone or something that broke people's hearts, AZ wouldn't have a channel anymore.
That "What If Wolverine became Lord of the vampires?"comic was absolutely excellent! I love the way the Marvel lore was used to have Punisher become the ultimate hunter by Dr Strange sort of possessing him from the afterlife. All of the XMen being turned into vampires was amazing too because of the way they used their mutant and vampire powers. I highly recommend.
On Gladiator II Wait since when did Romans use hand crossbows? Yeah they had light artillery crossbows, but, I don't remember seeing any infantry crossbows in the Roman archeological record. And I've read quite a bit about Rome.
There is some speculation that some Romans really used crossbows, not belly-bows like the ones used by Greeks. First, because something similar to one appears in a Gallo-Roman 4th century bas-relief and other sculptures. Second, multiple military texts(Epitoma Rei Militaris) describing projectile weapons seem to allude to multiple mechanical hand-held weapons of a variety of sizes, though it is unknown if they operate like a ballista (torsion) or bow (flexing). That being said, it's impossible to estimate how widespread this technology was. Perhaps, just like steam engines, Romans never fully made use of it beyond trinkets and curiosities.
Some channels do shorts really well. I really love Eoin reardon’s stuff (old school woodworking by a lovable Irish), McNally (entry specialist) and of course the great clips from Thor over at pirate software.

Doctor "literally who???" -also the "thumbnail thing" is a cool concept but feels like disingenuous terminal-stage-capitalism clickbait BS. Gaming the system like this just devalues the point of it.

'Smart phones eat backside"!! I miss the standard simple, forever battery, text & call phones. And if you wanted more you'd get a laptop or pc. 'Smart phones' are one of the banes of society Also, Win10 sucks chestnuts, also ffs Cancel Disney Plus ;)
Would be fine if the batteries were easier to replace. In the early days of smart phones, android phones would let you just pop off the back without any kind of tool and replace the battery. Have always wondered how the world would look like today if it was only desktops that advanced in its technology, so tired of the phone culture, both in a social sense and gaming wise. Also yes. Windows 10 is a steaming pile of shit and so is Windows 11. Windows 8.1 all the way. Fast and lightweight. If we only knew how good we had it.
@@TheBloopers30 I miss Win XP service pack 3. XP was so simple to navigate, utilitarian, customisable. Imo of course. And it ran so much faster; once it booted up lol.
@@Han_Shot_1st It was fun to optimize XP start ups. I got my last XP machine down to 16 seconds on a fresh install. That of course didn't last, but it was fun to do lol. Nowadays I said goodbye to Microsoft forever and am running Linux Mint at home. I don't miss a thing. The newer Microsoft OSs are just diabolical.
@@Han_Shot_1st Windows 2000, Xp, Windows 7 and even Vista are all good. But Windows 8 I would say is the first "modern" windows(for today's standards). While it added some pretty anti-consumer things, it also introduced some very helpful features. It had to run on tablets and phones which means that it's optimized like crazy and is most likely the fastest Windows we have. If Windows 8 launched with the features of Windows 8.1 I'm sure that the future would've looked a lot different than what we got. Also wish they kept that glossy "Frutiger Aero" look. Early developer builds of Windows 8 looks like a "next gen" version of Windows 7 with an underwater/ocean sub-theme(with the Logon background). Very cool.
Az Hi. Not sure if you read this? I need some advice? In the UK which bags and boards shall I get, and from where, to protect my comics I’m buying? Recently got back into comics based on your and Gary’s recommendations. Just need help with the protecting of them?
Obviously, Disney must measure show success in other areas than profit. Otherwise KK have been fired after TLJ and Feige after the Eternals. It cannot be just DEI hires since every single company can do that (and lose money). Do Disney really think SoMe impressions are worth more than profit? Or is it deemed okay to lose (a lot) on shows and Disney+ if more than 5% of the audience are from the Tiktok generation? Or is just Disney being too removed from reality and think the world is like their LA bubble? Or is it consultants similar to SBI that lie to Disney and tell them market data support their direction? Or is it the Alphabet Mafia saying a loss is okay if they can influence/groom the kids? Or is it short term interest rate gains from ESG loans that Disney management forget that they have to pay back? Or all of the above?
Hail lads, excellent discussion as usual. I only gave season 1 of HoTD a shot because Mauler, Gary, Jayne & Shad recommended it (disillusioned old school book fan, pissed at George & HBO with many of the same issues Gary has with Fire & Blood as a book) but I'm really liking it so far, still can't give it a recommendation tho because in the back of my mind is always "what if they fuck this up again?" The Gladiator 2 trailer didn't look terrible but that music was so out of place, Time Bandits looks like ass tho, hard pass on anything Taika. Looking forward to Mark next week!
As a guy who binged Season 1 to catch up to everyone on Season 2, it’s really good so far. It’s absolutely a slow-burn and there’s that one retarded ending in Episode 9 everyone hated but otherwise it’s a really solid show. It’s worth a watch just for the performance of Matt Smith alone but I’ve been happy with all the character work and set-up and pay-offs of both seasons. But I’ll be right there with ya if they botch it.
@@NathanCassidy721 oof, yeah last 10 minutes of episode 9 were just terrible & the Larys stuff in that episode was.... weird & very unnecessary to tell the story. Other than that it's a really enjoyable show, not as good as peak Thrones (although a coupla things they do better) but still a very good 7.5-8/10 with 2 or 3 brilliant episodes. I just can't fully trust them so totally get why sone people are waiting til it ends
@@ViolentMessiah666 I kind of agree with you on THAT scene with Larys. It felt like they were trying to go with the “shock” value normies associated with Game of Thrones. Still he’s got some great scenes and dialogue right up there with Otto Hightower.
@@NathanCassidy721 oh yeah definitely for shock value but if they're gonna do that at least tie it into some good character work or dialogue, neither character came out of that scene better or more interesting/sympathetic. Other than that one I like how they've written him so far, good actor too
The hype wasn't the strongest when The Incredible Hulk released or when Iron Man first came out, but when people realized they were good they spawned the franchise. I'm not super excited for the Gunn-verse but if the first couple movies are good then I'll start getting excited for the more.
“Which is gonna be better, Agatha or Rings of Power?” “The inside of my eyelids.” That had me dying 😂

Disparu is gonna make so much money for those 2 months.
35:53 Grant Gusten literally asked when season 4 came out how they hadn’t gotten canceled yet.
1:38:05 now that shrek trailer would surly be something lol
I'm sick to death with all this witch bullshit.
Paul acquitted himself with honor in that audition. Or should I say honour.
Which episode of Doctor who is the one with paintings of Space crafts and they were paused and came to destroy? . Thank you
Doctor "literally who???"
-also the "thumbnail thing" is a cool concept but feels like disingenuous terminal-stage-capitalism clickbait BS. Gaming the system like this just devalues the point of it. Even before this was an automatic feature there were "certain people" who would change their video title and thumbnail like 10 times in the first 24 hours of their video and it didn't do anything besides annoy their audience away.
Stop using maxist terminology
What in the James Bond kind of phone does Gary have?
'Smart phones eat backside"!! I miss the standard simple, forever battery, text & call phones. And if you wanted more you'd get a laptop or pc. 'Smart phones' are one of the banes of society
Also, Win10 sucks chestnuts, also ffs Cancel Disney Plus ;)
Would be fine if the batteries were easier to replace. In the early days of smart phones, android phones would let you just pop off the back without any kind of tool and replace the battery. Have always wondered how the world would look like today if it was only desktops that advanced in its technology, so tired of the phone culture, both in a social sense and gaming wise.
Also yes. Windows 10 is a steaming pile of shit and so is Windows 11. Windows 8.1 all the way. Fast and lightweight. If we only knew how good we had it.
@@TheBloopers30 I miss Win XP service pack 3. XP was so simple to navigate, utilitarian, customisable. Imo of course. And it ran so much faster; once it booted up lol.
@@Han_Shot_1st It was fun to optimize XP start ups. I got my last XP machine down to 16 seconds on a fresh install. That of course didn't last, but it was fun to do lol.
Nowadays I said goodbye to Microsoft forever and am running Linux Mint at home. I don't miss a thing. The newer Microsoft OSs are just diabolical.
@@ranzera Optimization control on XP was a luxurious. And yes, I run Linux on my non work desktop. It's great.
@@Han_Shot_1st Windows 2000, Xp, Windows 7 and even Vista are all good.
But Windows 8 I would say is the first "modern" windows(for today's standards). While it added some pretty anti-consumer things, it also introduced some very helpful features. It had to run on tablets and phones which means that it's optimized like crazy and is most likely the fastest Windows we have.
If Windows 8 launched with the features of Windows 8.1 I'm sure that the future would've looked a lot different than what we got.
Also wish they kept that glossy "Frutiger Aero" look. Early developer builds of Windows 8 looks like a "next gen" version of Windows 7 with an underwater/ocean sub-theme(with the Logon background). Very cool.
if you guys cut the trailer im be maddddddd i love this show DDDD
Ketchup on a hot dog and well done steak are sacrilegious.
Apple TV has TURNED OFF THE COMMENTS for the Time Bandits trailer. Hilarious.
I actually watched episode of Bluey out of interest, and it looked quality show for kids with basic storytelling.
Would let them watch. 👍
Roman hell would be tartarus wouldn't it?
WAS THAT APRIL FROM PARKS AND REC?!
38:26 oh hey. I have that. Haven't read it yet, but the title and characters together make it seem like an absolutely wild ride.
Az Hi. Not sure if you read this? I need some advice? In the UK which bags and boards shall I get, and from where, to protect my comics I’m buying? Recently got back into comics based on your and Gary’s recommendations. Just need help with the protecting of them?
They used the same song for Safe House's trailer which also had Denzel in it lol
Obviously, Disney must measure show success in other areas than profit. Otherwise KK have been fired after TLJ and Feige after the Eternals. It cannot be just DEI hires since every single company can do that (and lose money).
Do Disney really think SoMe impressions are worth more than profit?
Or is it deemed okay to lose (a lot) on shows and Disney+ if more than 5% of the audience are from the Tiktok generation?
Or is just Disney being too removed from reality and think the world is like their LA bubble?
Or is it consultants similar to SBI that lie to Disney and tell them market data support their direction?
Or is it the Alphabet Mafia saying a loss is okay if they can influence/groom the kids?
Or is it short term interest rate gains from ESG loans that Disney management forget that they have to pay back?
Or all of the above?
You're absolutely right Gary your take on the Hobbit being better then the prequels is wrong.
Nickelodeon teen shows from about 10+ years ago (jumping on the train started by Hannah Montana).
Technically, Hannah Montana was a bandwagon jumper on, too. Nick had been doing teen shows since the '80s.
Hail lads, excellent discussion as usual.
I only gave season 1 of HoTD a shot because Mauler, Gary, Jayne & Shad recommended it (disillusioned old school book fan, pissed at George & HBO with many of the same issues Gary has with Fire & Blood as a book) but I'm really liking it so far, still can't give it a recommendation tho because in the back of my mind is always "what if they fuck this up again?"
The Gladiator 2 trailer didn't look terrible but that music was so out of place, Time Bandits looks like ass tho, hard pass on anything Taika.
Looking forward to Mark next week!
As a guy who binged Season 1 to catch up to everyone on Season 2, it’s really good so far.
It’s absolutely a slow-burn and there’s that one retarded ending in Episode 9 everyone hated but otherwise it’s a really solid show. It’s worth a watch just for the performance of Matt Smith alone but I’ve been happy with all the character work and set-up and pay-offs of both seasons. But I’ll be right there with ya if they botch it.
@@NathanCassidy721 oof, yeah last 10 minutes of episode 9 were just terrible & the Larys stuff in that episode was.... weird & very unnecessary to tell the story. Other than that it's a really enjoyable show, not as good as peak Thrones (although a coupla things they do better) but still a very good 7.5-8/10 with 2 or 3 brilliant episodes. I just can't fully trust them so totally get why sone people are waiting til it ends
@@ViolentMessiah666 I kind of agree with you on THAT scene with Larys. It felt like they were trying to go with the “shock” value normies associated with Game of Thrones.
Still he’s got some great scenes and dialogue right up there with Otto Hightower.
@@NathanCassidy721 oh yeah definitely for shock value but if they're gonna do that at least tie it into some good character work or dialogue, neither character came out of that scene better or more interesting/sympathetic. Other than that one I like how they've written him so far, good actor too
The hype wasn't the strongest when The Incredible Hulk released or when Iron Man first came out, but when people realized they were good they spawned the franchise. I'm not super excited for the Gunn-verse but if the first couple movies are good then I'll start getting excited for the more.
Why does Az keep making those stupid noises. It’s infuriating
