00:38Maybe they'll get him to join up.
00:41Why is Bucky Martins referred to as the Winter Soldier?
00:44God, why is it quiet?
00:47It goes back to the Russians.
00:49That's all I'm going to say.
00:51Very mysterious.
00:52It means he doesn't know the answer.
00:54Somebody hasn't done so much character work recently.
00:59How many Thunderbolts are there?
01:01Five or six.
01:02Five or six.
01:03A half dozen.

01:13No.
01:14She was abducted to become a child assassin, but her parents that she grew up with, David
01:20Harbour and Rachel Weisz.
01:21But her real parents we don't know, do we?
01:23That's the subject of Thunderbolts too.
01:25Oh my God!
01:26Is this that cool?
01:27Searching for Yelena's real parents.
01:28Is Red Guardian Black Widow's dad?
01:32Yeah!
01:33Hell yeah!
01:34Yeah!

01:36I took a shot and it was on the floor.
01:39Of tequila?
01:40Yeah.
01:41No!
01:42But wait.
01:43You got wasted and I woke up strong.
01:46But before you even took the shot, you were pretty badass, right?
01:49Yeah, yeah.
01:51Do you know?
01:52I found some shit on the floor and I took it.
01:55And it made your life better.
01:57Yeah, interesting.
01:58Plays a lot.
01:59What is Ghost's real name?
02:00Ava Starr.
02:01Ava Starr.
02:02She's a star baby.

02:11Yes.
02:12Mental powers.
02:13She's pretty fucking boss bitch.
02:14Yeah.
02:15That's a good power.
02:16Who was the fast superhero in the MCU?
02:18In like chronological order?
02:20I am.
02:21Tony Stark.
02:22No, no, no, no, no.
02:23In the MCU.
02:24Wasn't there the Hulk?
02:25Yeah.
02:26Yeah.
02:27There is.
02:28Is that the Ang Lee?
02:29As far as I'm concerned, Iron Man was the beginning of everything.
02:33I'm out of Captain America.
02:34Oh!
02:35What?
02:36Wait, wait, wait, wait.
02:37And that's who we met as Captain America when we said Hulk.
02:40Can Century beat Thanos?
02:41Sure.
02:42I hope so.
02:43Why not?
02:44Why not?
02:45Who did U.S. Agent kill?
02:47A bad guy.
02:49He was an innocent civilian.
02:51He wasn't a civilian.
02:52He was a bad guy on the wrong team.
02:54He was a bad guy on the wrong team.
02:55Walker.
02:58What to watch before Thunderbolts.
03:00Kramer versus Kramer?
03:01Yes!
03:02Oh my god!
03:03Oh my god!
03:04The mind melt of the Thunderbolts!
03:07We didn't plan that!
03:11That's how in tune we are!
03:13What?
03:14With the Oscar campaign incoming for Thunderbolts.
03:17How strong are the Thunderbolts?
03:19What the hell is this question?
03:23Not very.
03:24They're not that strong.
03:26Internally though.
03:27Yeah, internally.
03:28Yeah.
03:29And also I think between them they could probably do quite a fair few squats.
03:32How old is Elena Belova in Thunderbolts?
03:36Oh, you should never ask.
03:37Come on.
03:38This is so rude.
03:3923.
03:40So rude.
03:41I guess they assume she's like Captain America so she's like 900 years old.
03:44What?
03:45She's trapped in ice in the Paleolithic era.
03:47She's been thawed out.
03:49Wait till you see the movie.
03:50You're gonna love this.
03:51Is Isaiah stronger than Winter Soldier?
03:54No.
03:55Look.
03:56Could you beat up my dad?
03:59I don't know.
04:00I don't think I would want to.
04:01Who is the villain in Thunderbolts?
04:03Mmm.
04:06Maladita.
04:07I'm not sure about that.
04:09I'm not sure about that.
04:10That's right.
04:11I'm not sure about that.
04:12Aspects of ourselves.
04:16Is Yelena a villain?
04:18Is Yelena a villain?
04:19In general?
04:20In general.
04:21Or depression's a villain.
04:22You know what?
04:23She has been.
04:24So I think that's something that she's constantly wrestling within herself.
04:27So I think her past, yes, she's trying to figure out how she feels now.
04:32But I do think she wants to be a better person.
04:34Is Yelena a superhero?
04:36She doesn't have any like super juice in her or anything like that.
04:39What if you're super cool and have a super big heart?
04:41Yeah.
04:42Aww, that's so nice.
04:43And she knows how to do super assassin cool stuff.
04:46Yeah.
04:47And you've got the zzzzzz.
04:48Zzzzzzzz.
04:49What is Yelena a beloved superhero name?
04:52Well, she's technically a black widow.
04:55She's baby black widow.
04:56She's little widow.
04:57Little widow.
04:58Little widow.
04:59Little widow.
05:00Little widow.
05:01Little widow.
05:02Is red guardian's shield vibranium?
05:05Yes.
05:06I don't have it.
05:09Spoiler alert.
05:10I don't have a shield.
05:11I had, I had one years ago that got lost, I guess.
05:14Yeah.
05:15In somewhere.
05:16It wasn't in the farmhouse in black widow.
05:17Did you lose it?
05:18No.
05:19I know exactly where it is.
05:21How did ghost get her powers?
05:24Born in a lab.
05:25Yeah.
05:26Trapped in a room.
05:27Caught in a quantum force when I was trying to save my dad, whose lab is
05:31stolen by Hank Penn.
05:32Who does US agent work for?
05:35Nobody, bitch.

05:37Look out!
05:39Does John Walker have super powers?
05:42Yeah.
05:43Yeah.
05:44I mean...
05:45He can jump really well.
05:46He can jump really well.
05:47High enough.
05:48It just makes me strong.
05:49It doesn't give you big muscles.
05:50Oh, bummer.
05:51Get a trainer.
05:55Does the red guardian have super soldier serum?
05:58Hell yeah.
05:59Yeah.
06:00Yeah.
06:01I got that solid Russian stuff, man.
06:03Yeah, exactly.
06:04From the 80s.
06:05The good old days.
06:07Where are the Avengers in Thunderbolts?
06:10How about a cocktail?
06:11Clean.
06:12They're not coming through that door.
06:14They're not coming through that door.
06:16How to watch the Marvel movies in chronological order?
06:19Google it.
06:20Google it.
06:21Yeah.
06:22Google it.
06:23I mean, I do know it starts as Captain America.
06:24Can you name all?
06:25There you go.
06:26There's your answer.
06:27Yeah, I'll name all 32 in order.
06:28Here we go.
06:29No, we don't have time.

06:32No.
06:33Red Hulk?
06:34No.

06:37No.
06:38Theodore Ross.
06:39No, I know.
06:40Is Bucky Barnes getting a new codename in Marvel's Thunderbolts?
06:43No.
06:44David, how was Red Guardian created?
06:47He had parents, and one night they had a baby.
06:52The idea more though was that he was chosen by the Soviet Union to be the counterpart to
06:55Captain America, and then he was given this super soldier serum, and he was going to be
07:00the great hope of Russia, and then he messed it all up by getting in his own way.
07:04No.
07:05No.
07:06You?
07:07Never.
07:08There you go.
07:09There you go.
07:10Is Marvel's ghost a hero or a villain?
07:13Aw.
07:14She's a hero.
07:15Hero.
07:16She's just trying, man.
07:17She comes back.
07:18Why?
07:19Why?
07:20Why the hell?
07:21Why the hell is Bucky Barnes on the Thunderbolts?
07:26The most asked question on the internet.
07:29Why?
07:30Why?
07:31Clearly they need a little pick-me-up.
07:33Other than that, you know, because he can give them something from his own experience.
07:42Piggybacking off of that, what happened to Bucky?
07:45Between Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Thunderbolts.
07:48He just looked in the mirror and was like, I'm going to grow that hair out.
07:52Yeah, that's right.
07:53Well, I think he was, you know, hoping to find a family, and he found a family.
07:58Basically, me and you guys.
08:00Aw.
08:01Aw.
08:02Sorry.
08:04All right.
08:05Aw.
08:06Why is Bucky's nickname Bucky?
08:08Yeah, there you go.

08:20No, he's just powerful and perfect, though I'm out of power.

08:29Vibranium.
08:30Vibramium.
08:31Vibramium.

08:33Madam Hydu would know how to pronounce vibranium.
08:35From Wakanda.
08:36That's how it's actually pronounced.
08:38Does U.S. Agents have a shield?
08:41It's not a shield.
08:42It's a great shield.
08:44It's a good shield when it's a full shield, or it's a half shield.
08:47How strong is U.S. Agents?
08:49Aw.
08:50So strong.
08:51So strong.
08:52Who would win in a fight between me and you?
08:54Obviously him.
08:55Okay.
08:56Sorry.
08:57What?
08:58Sorry, Dad.
08:59Who is Valentina Allegra de Fontaine recruiting?
09:02Well, really, she's recruiting Bob, ultimately.
09:06All right.

09:24He's trying and traumatized.
09:26Everyone wants to know.
09:27Trying and traumatized.
09:28He looks glorious.
09:30Yeah, that's all right.
09:31What is Robert Reynolds' power in Marvel?
09:33I mean, when he's Robert Reynolds, it's just being kind of a...
09:36Being cute and sad.
09:37Yeah.
09:38Yeah.
09:39Trying to stay out of the way.
09:40Really good at staying out of the way.
09:41Yeah.
09:42Being depressed.
09:43Oh, that was fabulous.
09:44Thinking he's no good.
09:45Okay.
09:46Those are the questions.
09:49Thank you so much for having us.
09:50Oh, that was good.
09:54I'm good.
