  "Can I produce high quality content that inspires you all out there to support what I'm doing here and join me on this journey over the next few years in creating this brand. Being a part of Real Swell, I've got a lot of aspirations for this year and again, a burning passion to make this something more. And my vision for that isn't clear today. But as I think about it, as I ponder the possibilities, that vision becomes clearer."

  "From a business perspective, I suppose I can't be upset about that. But it doesn't hold any weight when you don't take into consideration the product your actually offering. And audiences are telling you outright over and over and over again, this isn't what we want. Yet you've got that obligation to your bottom line. So that's where we are. I don't relish the fact that these movies are bad. That's not what I want."

  "I got a similar inclination about Blade, which I may have a separate swell about that, but it's also basically at a standstill. And I have been hearing about that over a year, year and a half, possibly longer. But this particular movie, it's not looking good. It's not looking good for Captain America, it's not looking good for the mcu. It's."

  "Denzel Washington did a great job. They brought back Lucilla from the first one. She looks great and performed amazingly. Pedro Pascal, they didn't give him much to do, but he did amazing. The main actor, I honestly don't know his name, actually, but he. There was shoes he was asked to fill, and they didn't give him much to earn those shoes. Again, none of this movie was earned."

  "I don't see the value in this movie, which is unfortunate to say, honestly, because I know they worked hard on it, but something fell through the cracks. They dropped the ball somewhere, and it's a very disappointing movie."

  "The story is very good. The plot, the acting performances, even the animation. And yes, it's an animated film. And I think that's part of the reason why this is titled It Deserved Better is I don't think people took it seriously as they should have. Even the producers, like, the marketing strategy around this movie was very lackluster. Not many people saw this movie because not many people knew that it was out there."

  "I understand what they're upset about, but I'm not sure I understand why, given what the movie is actually telling us and what the first movie told us. So go see this movie, and you may have to see it again. You may have to watch both of them back to back to really piece it all together to really get an understanding of what the story is they're trying to tell. And I can't say enough that. Don't believe what's being said."

  Click here to reply to @overlythematic
  
  "Because as I was still processing it, getting my thoughts together, my overall desire, really to say something kind of diminished. I didn't feel like I needed to say anything. I've said this many, many times, tell me a good story again. And I felt like I would be beating a dead horse, so to speak."

• July 26, 2024Reel Swell Ep. 14 - Alright, how do I say this...

  "And I say that because there is so much going on in the movie, but it feels like not all of it is cohesive. And it's weird because I don't think the movie is bad, I really don't. But it just seems like there were so many different directions they were trying to go and they couldn't close the loop on each of the story threads that they started."

  "Hello, everyone. Welcome back to real swell. This is episode 13, Captain Brave New World trailer released yesterday or Thursday. I haven't seen it, but I did catch a frame of it. I don't plan to see it, by the way, and it's got Red Hulk's leg in it in this frame that I saw. I have an issue with that. The movie releases February 14 of next year. I also have an issue with that. Different topics for different swells."
