It's a Battle of the Bats! In honor of DC's upcoming FanDome event, New Rockstars finally wades into the ultimate Caped Crusader debate... which movie Batman is the best? With scores based on Intelligence, Fighting Skills, Gear, Theatricality, and more, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold rank the Batman movie incarnations -- Adam West, Michael Keaton, Kevin Conroy (animated & game voice actor), Val Kilmer, George Clooney, Christian Bale, Will Arnett (Lego Batman), and Ben Affleck -- to determine, "scientifically," which Batman is best. Is Christian Bale Dark Knight or Michael Keaton Batman the smartest Bruce Wayne? Is Ben Affleck Batman from Zack Snyder's Justice League a better fighter than Will Arnett Lego Batman? Why is Adam West's campy approach to Batman more charming than George Clooney in Batman and Robin?
Avengers Endgame & Avengers Infinity War Doctor Strange's biggest mistakes explained! Thank you to Audible for sponsoring this episode. Go to http://audible.com/thesandman to listen now.
As one of the most infinitely powered beings in the Marvel universe, with countless god-level magic spells and even exclusive access to the Time Stone for several years, Doctor Strange certainly could have done more to stop Thanos and help the other Avengers in Infinity War and Endgame, and prevent further madness in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. After our trial of the plot holes in Avengers Endgame, we now return with charges against Stephen Strange and his many mistakes and oversights. In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold ask and answer: Is Doctor Strange GUILTY OF NEGLIGENCE? Or even medical malpractice and violations of his hippocratic oath? Could Strange have put Thanos in a time loop with the Time Stone, or used a portal to cut off his arm? And what the hell is Strange going to do about Dormammu now without the Time Stone?
Marvel's Deadliest Villains Ranked! After our Avengers kill count episode, how do Marvel villains like Thanos, Loki, and Ego rank on the murder charts?
Our Avengers Kill Count analysis revealed that Marvel heroes like Thor, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, and Hulk ranked among the deadliest across the Infinity Saga. But that begs the big question... how do those numbers compare to the bodies stacked up by Marvel's villains? Has Thanos truly killed the most, or is Ego the Living Planet from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 actually deadlier? Who is the deadliest human villain on Earth? Has Hela or Loki killed more people? What about Red Skull vs Zemo? Obidiah Stane Iron Monger vs Ivan Vanko Whiplash? In this followup episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold turn to the baddies of the Marvel universe to rank them by their on-screen kill counts. How will future MCU villains like Doctor Doom, Taskmaster, The Mandarin (the real one), and Galactus rank in kill counts compared to these?
How the hell does the REVERSE TIME concept work in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming TENET? It might be the only movie we get to see in theaters for the rest of 2020, so let’s break it down! You can have Coors Light delivered by going to http://get.coorslight.com and finding local delivery options near you.
Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight, Inception, and Interstellar, has a new movie coming to theaters: TENET. Based on a few cryptic trailers, Tenet’s plot and inverted time visuals remain very mysterious, teasing little about the film’s many secrets. However, new details discovered hidden in trailer footage, and hinted at by cast and crew, have given us some basic physics concepts that underly the complex structure of the story. We did our homework, and hot-damn, we think we cracked the code! In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold answer your biggest questions about Tenet to save you time and mental energy for when you inevitably see this movie and confuse the hell out of yourselves. What is entropy, the laws of thermodynamics, and the thought experiment of Maxwell’s Demon… and how do they tie into the plot of Tenet? What global disaster are the characters in Tenet working to prevent? Why do characters in the film have to wear oxygen masks? Are the physics of Tenet possible in the real world?
Which Avenger made the worst, most inexcusable, costliest mistake… even worse than Thor not going for Thanos’ head in Avengers Infinity War? Get Coors Light delivered by going to http://get.coorslight.com and finding local delivery options near you! Check out The Sandman only at http://audible.com/thesandman!
Thor throwing Stormbreaker at Thanos’ chest — not his head or his arm — giving Thanos just enough time to snap the six Infinity Stones and kill half of all life, is widely considered one of the worst mistakes ever committed in the MCU. But what less noticeable mistake was even deadlier, even more unforgivable, and so idiotically hypocritical and shortsighted? In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Zach Huddleston rank the worst mistakes of Marvel’s Infinity Saga, including Tony Stark inventing Ultron, Star-Lord Peter Quill punching Thanos out of his trance, and Spider-Man handing over EDITH to Mysterio. Which mistakes in the MCU are understandable (and totally worth it), and which should make us judge characters more harshly? Which overlooked Marvel hero is actually the MOST TO BLAME for everything bad that happens in the MCU?

Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Spider-Man, and the other Avengers have killed thousands of enemies over the years in films like Avengers Endgame, Avengers Infinity War, Age of Ultron, Civil War, and Thor Ragnarok… but which Avenger has the most blood on their hands? In this episode of #BigQuestion, Tommy Bechtold and Erik Voss break down the numbers of ON-SCREEN KILLS throughout Marvel’s Infinity Saga to determine which Avenger is the deadliest. Which of the Guardians of the Galaxy has killed more than the others? Does Peter Parker remain a kill-virgin, or has he punched that card? What subtle line in Avengers Infinity War reveals the staggering number of lives Thor has taken?
Do the Spider-Man MCU films share a spider-verse with the Sam Raimi movies, Venom, and Into the Spiderverse?
The connections between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies don’t stop at JK Simmons playing J Jonah Jameson in each universe — there are at least a dozen more Easter Eggs hidden throughout the Spider-Man and Spider-Man related films that web together ALL these films in one broader live-action universe. From Donald Glover cameos in Spider-Man Far From Home (2017), The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), and Spider-Man Into the Spider-verse (2018), to Bonesaw McGraw in Spider-Man (2002) and Spider-Man Far From Home (2019), to the insane ways Morbius (2021) will tie in Vulture from the MCU but the Daily Bugle from the Raimi films… it is all legitimately connected, and we’re gonna explain how. In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Zach Huddleston thwip together each of the corners of the the Web of Life and Destiny to explain how all Spider-Man films currently exist in a live-action Spiderverse. Are some connections a reach? Maybe, but that’s how all webs are formed!
Spider-Man Far From Home’s Mysterio even more powerful than Thanos? Visit http://expressvpn.com/bigq right now to get an extra three months for free!
Mysterio, a team of ex-Stark employees including Quentin Beck (Jake Gyllenhaal), poses a new kind of threat to the MCU never before seen: manipulation of the truth and reality with false flag attacks and propaganda. After Far From Home’s cryptic ending, and Mysterio’s possible survival, does this evil team’s victory actually make them the most dangerous and effective threat to the Marvel Cinematic Universe? In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold break down all the secret components to Mysterio’s weaponry in Far From Home and their even deadlier capabilities that could be applied in Marvel Phase 4 movies. How the hell did Mysterio trick Peter Parker into thinking he was in a car being driven by Nick Fury in Berlin? What overlooked detail about BARF technology in Captain America Civil War explains why Peter failed to see through Mysterio’s illusions? What’s the darkest use of Mysterio’s powers in the Marvel comics?

Last year, Avengers Endgame became the most profitable film of all time, but that doesn’t make the film “perfect.” New Rockstars does something unprecedented and finally admits that the Marvel movies have things about them that suck, with a point by point debate about the biggest shortcomings of the culmination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Infinity Saga. In this episode of #BigQuestion, join Filup Molina and Erik Voss as they discuss each Avengers Endgame plot hole — time travel, Pym Particles, Captain Marvel, the Blip, Old Steve Rogers, and more. Did Endgame do Black Widow dirty? Are Pym Particles lazily unexplained? Why can’t the writers and directors agree on how time travel works in the movie? Has the MCU ruined the Hulk as a character? And is it fair to pick apart a movie as ambitious as Endgame… or does its unprecedented commercial success demand we scrutinize it more?
Marvel's Quantum Realm from Avengers Endgame and Ant-Man and the Wasp finally, fully explained! Video Sponsored by Ridge Wallet: https://www.ridge.com/NEWROCKSTARS Use Code “NEWROCKSTARS” for 10% off your order.
What are the 5 rules of the Quantum Realm, based on its depictions in Endgame, the Ant-Man movies, and Doctor Strange? Is the Quantum Realm too confusing, or is there an inner logic to it that tells is where the Marvel Cinematic Universe could explore next in Ant-Man 3 or the Fantastic Four? In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold break down everything we know about the mysterious Quantum Realm of the MCU -- its complicated physics, its flow of time, its connection to time travel vortexes, and yes, a HIDDEN FREAKING CITY in the background. Why did the original Wasp Janet Van Dyne age normally for 30 years in the Quantum Realm, whereas Ant-Man Scott Lang aged only a few hours over 5 years? How did Janet survive so long, and where did she get her clothes? How do characters breathe in the Quantum Realm?
