“Just say It was a variant” Comics Explained 2023

Sal has such a beautiful understanding of human nature, he’d make a great supervillain.

The fact that they pulled ads and starting discussing blacklisting him before anything was proven is telling. It's crazy

🤔Has anyone noticed that Jonathan majors had everything taken from him instantaneously and Ezra Miller seems to have more lives than a cat... Makes you wonder why. He has multiple allegations of some very weird things. Also I heard Jonathan majors call the police yet still ended up arrested

Nuance is lost on the modern internet, As if it was ever there. I'm glad we have level headed people like you guys ti be a voice of reason even within shitty circumstances.

Damn, I don't always agree with Sal (although I thoroughly agree here), but he is such a skilled orator It's mindblowing. He reminds me of my favourite English teachers growing up.

Sal as the new Kang variant

Guilty or innocent, absolutely none of this is good press.

This was a good discussion but also everything Sal said was pretty on point.

Jonathan Majors was great in The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Super underrated performance and movie.

I went to see the first Iron Man because of RDJ. I didn’t know what the movie was about but I remember seeing him in an orange jump suit on CNN being sentenced to prison and I remember thinking it was quite unfair. Plus again I went to see Tropic Thunder because RDJ was playing a black dude - not black face by the way- and I was curious as to how he would pull it off. And of course it was glorious

Guilty until proven innocent...crazy world we live in

If you guys ever do a follow up, recently they lawyer leaked the text message. And it looks bad

Sal right on the money at the end, per usual

Excellent discussion!

Maybe this wasn't the most appropriate video to plug the waifu cups in front of.

Really liked 'Kang the controversial' in the thumbnail

The Chris Pratt thing is that he is part of Zoe church which did spin off from the Hillsong church but it was Hillsong Elliot Page was talking about. So he is associated with an associated church which is just so many degrees away from Hillsong that I don’t get why it’s a problem

Good clear headed conversation.

Does anyone recall a time when Chris Evans and one other actor made some off color comments about Black Widow going from Captain America to Hulk from Civil War to Age of Ultron and then apologizing and everyone almost immediately dropping the story? I feel like I might've dreamed it but I recall the incident so vividly.

Don't know if anyone remembers the case but a while back there was the uni student who was aleged of r$#ing a girl and cc footage prooved his case but he was still kicked out of the school just for being accused. This has the same kinda vibe to it, hopefully if he's cleared he can go back to working successfully without a stigmatiza surrounding him

“Words mean other things!” thank you lol

Funny story about Rex Orange County, I actually discovered his music just about a month or 2 ago and I really fell in love with it so I didn't ever know or hear about the allegations until after the charges were dropped

What is this 1977😂 you guys are absolutely amazing

Reminder Benny, Try stepping out of your comfort zone once and a while and watch a non action movie. Lol

The comment section just isn’t the same without king shadow saying hi, hopefully I’m just early

I'm new to this channel and I'm loving watching Benny and Sal from comic pop but the younger fella in this freeway is throwing some of the most wild takes at every turn in this conversation. From like the generalization og the military to the generalization of how the public perceives events and problems. Dude just on a different earth it feels like

Glad this was a well balanced discussion and not Comics TMZ, you all make some pretty valid points.

17:19 Actually Chris was never apart of the Christian church he was actually slander by Elliot Page .

Sal....Sal....you COULDDD just go into your app settings for Twitter and turn push notifications off...just a thought...

Omg sal how are you here and live at the same time! Are you a kang!? 😮

Marvel HQ executive meeting gonna have field day with this one, lol. Shit is not right at Marvel right now, heads are rolling and now this.

As a black man very proud of the way Hassan handled this topic!

Yeah after those released texts I believe 100% that he did it. Those were the most classic "scared abuse victim" messages I've ever seen.

Engagement and interaction with creator to please the mathemagics that choses what gets seen or not.

On one hard this case is very strange in the sense of how quickly the actual authorities are actually getting involved(e.g. the brat pitt plane stuff that only was public abit ago yet happened years ago)which makes it suspect but on the other hand those text his lawyer released don't make him look great.

I don't know enough to say whether he is innocent or guilty, but hate that people are jumping to punish him before he has had his day in court. Preemptive damage control like Depp dropped from future Pirates movies and Gunn dropped from Guardians is gross. I also really hate the "and he was mean to staff" arguments as if those allegations matter at all for whether he assaulted someone or not. You can be a jerk and still not commit heinous crimes

Really good discussion. Sal is completely right, he really knows how explains things

Maybe that's why they did last minute reshoots, they knew and that's why Kang dies in the end

I think mcu problems were building up all these years and are blowing up now.

Since they already killed the only kang variant people care about itd be the best time to replace him with a character people actually like in dr doom

Text messages don’t look great

As a veteran ll say we b are definitely brainwashed to think a certain way

I for one respect and appreciate our Troops. Thank you Benny Potter for your service.

Well said Sal and papa Benny and daddy Hasan almost fighting again 🥲

It's over for Jonathan Majors sorry but it the text messages they released it's not good at all

I hate allegations like this. You can never be 100% sure who's crying wolf, and who's actually telling the truth. I tend to think it's usually just irritating losers that make it their purpose to try to destroy peoples' lives. It reminds me of what happened with Cliff Richard: he almost literally hid himself away, and eventually, he made a little bit of a comeback, and released an album. Anyway, though, why don't these accusers actually try to put some genuine effort into getting actual proof, in order to back up what they're accusing someone of? They never seem to, but I could be at least slightly wrong. Anyway, anyway, wasn't Nathan Fillion (for example) a massive primadonna dickhead, who argued near-constantly with Stana Katic, when they were still doing Castle? He never got accused, or cancelled, or whatever, did he? You could say the same for the likes of Chevy Chase, I suppose, too. But then... BUT THEN, Gina Carano makes a (probably half jokey, mildly) racist crack, or some shite, and she gets cancelled? Pewdiepie once said the N-word out of frustration several years ago, but somehow, he didn't get cancelled for the foreseeable future (did he? I'm out of the loop). Chris Brown managed to salvage his music career, despite being a girlfriend-thrashing arsehole... I could go on, but I'll stop there. Lo and behold, I'm back, to add to this ranty comment, but it's great that you mentioned Robert Downey Jr., and his troubled youth, with drugs and such, because on Channel 4, years back (on British TV, exclusively), there was a reporter on there that was supposed to be interviewing him about Sherlock Holmes (probably the first one he did. Er... sorry, it was actually The Avengers, my mistake), and then, insensitively, and bizarrely, he somehow made it about the dark times in his life, and was almost blantantly judging him for being a former junkie. It was uncalled for.

Nice to watch these old videos after the evidence came out she was lying and partying after the so called incident..

👍

.he's innocent

It truly is baffling that we had 10 years of the MCU without any major problems and now we've got them left and right.

Ok

Y’all should be kept these thoughts to yourselves

uh the army does suck Benny. being in it. what its for. the fact that it's needed at all. lots of things. and I rarely see better people come out of the army. just bigger, more efficient a holes. or they come out traumatized and damaged. IF they're lucky enough to come out at all

Really glad they avoided a full on shit show with the army talk, glad the two were able to find an agreement and nuance the situation

First just because 😂😂😂😂

He didn't get arrested cause of his skin color, come on guys, any man who is allegedly assaulting someone gets arrested, not color related

Bro his OWN LAWYER just made it way worse. Released private texts between him and the girl where she takes blame for trying to "grab his phone" LIKE THATS AN EXCUESS. Dude she put him in a corner. He's Fd. Gotta just come clean about the steroids say this was an isolated incident stemming from over working and just disappear until the next mcu shit he's in like Ezra did with dc.

Bro I have great friends and family that took to different branch services cause that was the best option for them. Im getting tired of Hassan making controversial takes every week. Between this and his take on Christianity during the Last of Us breakdown is ridiculous. I just don’t get what his deal is.

Everything Hassan says is politically charged. He has no objective or even serious take
