00:00how you doing today miss paris i'm good how are you i'm doing well doing well so happy to be able

00:21to speak with you same thank you so i'd like to start by asking um i just want to start with a

00:27bang episode five um was a was a major well this past episode was a major turning point but the

00:33same can be said for episode five uh carol danvers was for the first time well captain marvel was

00:38name dropped in episode five well i'd argue that captain marvel came close monica's response was a

00:44little interesting we are not talking about her we are talking about wanda so i just want to come

00:49out and ask what are monica's feelings towards carol danvers i think that you know as we move

00:57forward hopefully these um things will be addressed you know i monica has been announced

01:05to be joining carol and um and ms marvel and captain marvel 2 so that offers us a lot of space to

01:13explore that relationship further i don't want to give anything away eric you're like tell me now

01:20what do you feel i know just just eager just well i do want to ask this so moving over to episode six

01:28uh there was a pretty big betrayal um hayward pretty much just ousted monica jimmy and darcy

01:34off the sword base and basically taking them out of the equation get her off my base now all of them

01:41you know monica and hayward were established as colleagues so in your mind was monica surprised

01:46by that betrayal or what she prepared you think i mean even when she's walking out she says he he

01:53was looking for a reason to sideline us so i think it you know monica's just coming back from the blip

01:59so she's getting back to finding her feet again finding out she's not used to working missing

02:05persons cases she said made that very clear when he put her on the case like i this is not what i do

02:11so i think she's finding her feet with her amazing colleagues darcy and jimmy and so

02:18they're figuring it out together so i think she started to feel that something was amiss

02:24and and then you know when he put the the drone the missile on the drone that like what are you doing

02:31this is not what we talked about so i think she's felt it coming don't use the last five years as an

02:37excuse to be a coward it's devastating either way just you know for her to be such this driving force

02:42and then just be pushed aside because she's awesome monica thank you i think she's awesome too um but

02:49yeah he you know that that that trio the jimmy monica darcy trio i think they'll find a way to uh

02:56figure some things out i don't think they'll take it so easy oh i have no doubts and one thing one thing

03:04monica we've only gotten to know this monica for just a certain amount of time but she's one thing

03:09i love is that she she's already proven herself a hero in so many respects and i want to ask like

03:13even after darcy tells her you know her body chemistry has been changed now and she's still

03:18willing to go back into the hex what does that say about monica's heroism that she's willing to go

03:23back in despite with the medical advice she's been given i think that you it it tells you how

03:31compassionate this woman is to have lost for monica to have lost her mom

03:37is a huge huge devastating blow for her and to then not be there when her mother passed i think

03:46she's dealing with her own grief in such a way that it makes her more able to be more compassionate to

03:55wanda and so feeling the that level of compassion for wanda i think does drive her to say you know

04:03what i don't want anyone to go through um what i've gone through alone that their need that she is

04:12this is high level trauma and grief and i have to help her and so the fact that she's willing to

04:21risk her body put her body on the line i i do think says to us that this woman is just extremely

04:28compassionate and um and willing to help whenever she can however she can i know what wanda is feeling

04:35and i won't stop until i help her i totally agree and it just and so great just to see these

04:42different sides of monica and i love her that is my time with you i i'm so happy for you i'm so i love

04:48this show and i can't wait to see how you continue your journey into the mcu thank you so much for

04:52taking the time to talk to cinema boy miss fairs thank you so much eric thank you
