#ScreenCrush #merch
First of all, we are very excited about this–we are re-launching our merch store!

Doug: I thought we had a merch store.

We DID–we were partnered with an outside company, and it was great–but when that partnership ended, we restarted the store. You can buy the same merchandise, plus I am so proud of these new designs. You all love our original trilogy short, and now we have the sequel shirt–the prequel apologist–thank you george. In honor of Ahsoka we also have the Hello there, and this sweet new apprentice life shirt–plus this super cute Doug super soldier tee, with matching mug.

Doug: I don’t see any residuals from this. I will not be turned into a commercial product! I–

Right now we are running a 10% off all tee shirts until labor day, with the code SC Opening. Do thank you you for shipping, three;s also links to products on the merch shelf down below. This really helps support our channel, and your support means a lot to us. And i want all of you to let us know in the comments and on our socials what kind of merch you like to see.

Now, you might remember that we partnered in the store with the reel rejects and Paul from heavy spoilers–and last time we announced I said this about Paul [p we’re friends]. That was alright. They made me say it. Me and heavy spoilers are not friends. We are sworn enemies. Doug, what is best in life?

Doug: To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their women.

High five. [high five]. And you know what reel rejects? Despite this [ou ryan arey]. You guys are still pretty great. Don’t know what I did to offend all of you, but I’m sorry.

But that’s not the only announcement.

But back to the merch store, we have lots of geeky parody merch coming your way, and it’s all going to be available in our merch shelf under the videos.

See, I didn’t just want to plug our merch store, I also want to open the floor to all of you and ask for your suggestions for the channel. Like, is there anything you want us to cover? Are there kinds of videos you would like to see?

Like me and Doug and the team want to start doing AMAs with super chats so you can ask us questions. We already have a great semi-weekly podcast called screencrush rewind that appears here on the channel and on all of these podcast platforms [pop up on screen]. And we’re looking to partner for more podcasts in the future–so let us know what you would like to see us cover.

And that goes for anything you rhino we should be covering. This is your channel, tell us what we’re not doing–and how we can do better.

We’re also hoping to do live shows in 2024, so you can come see us in person, and hear me say everything that they won’t let me say on YouTube.

Doug: He’s not kidding you guys. He actually loves Rise of Skywalker.

JJ Puppet: I knew it! [lens flare]

Doug…stop it.

But most of all, I wanted to thank all of you for watching us every day. It’s weird, even though the channel is doing great and we get all of these views, we feel very detached from the fans, because we spend all our time in this store.

But going out to SDCC and meeting so many of you face-to-face really means a lot, and we would not be here without all of you. I am so incredibly grateful to all of you for our success, and I’m looking forward to nerding out with you every day in the future. I have the greatest job in the world, and it’s because of you.

Doug: Now get back to work, peasant.

#SecretInvasion #Fail #Marvel

Secret Invasion was…not great. All throughout the show, I was rooting for it. I thought it started off strong and then went downhill so fast–even getting a 13% rotten tomatoes rating–by far the worst for Marvel. So I’m going to explain exactly what went wrong with this show–the behind-the-scenes problems that plagued it, the state of marvel going forward–and why this show was the greatest disappointment ever in the MCU.

Doug: Biggest disappointment ever? Geez that seems like an exaggeration.

Well Doug, let me take you back to 2003, to the movie X2: X-Men united. Superhero movies were mostly missed until this point–the year before we had raimi spider-man, and this movie finally got the X-Men 100% right. Jean Gray had just died sacrificing herself for the X-men, and just before the credits, we got this tease [clip].

That was teasing the dark phoenix saga–one of the greatest all time comics stories ever that comic fans never thought we’d get to see on the big screen. And when X-men 3 came out 3 years later, what we got was a low-budget, half assed interpretation of this epic story. That’s how secret invasion made me feel.

Doug: But it's not fair to compare the show to the comic book.

You’re right–so I’m going to avoid comparing this show to the events of the comic. The comic was this sprawling crossover event filled with superheroes–but the show adapts a small part of the comic, where Nick Fury goes off on hisnown to root out skrulls. So I will compare this show to those comics, where it’s appropriate.,

The secret invasion director Ali Selim, even said to Variety: “Marvel has a very devoted — even rabid — fan base who have expectations and when their expectations aren’t fulfilled, they move in the other direction' they give it a thumbs down...is it our job to fulfill their expectations?"

Look man, if you made a bad show, don't blame fans for saying it's a bad show., But, as I’ll prove throughout this video, the show is not bad because of this director. There was a confluence of events that hampered Secret INvasion, which made it almost impossible to tell a compelling story. But before we can explain what went wrong behind the scenes, we have to talk about what was actually wrong with the show.

And there was a lot wrong with this show–ain't is a failure. Now I don't use that word often–I love MCU stories, and this one has to rank near the bottom of anyone’s l'ist–but the worst MCU show is still better than most TV shows. And the secret invasion was miles ahead of the Inhumans or Helstrom.

But this show might have been doomed to fail, because the premise of the show was flawed from the start. The MCU was not in the right place to tell the story of a secret invasion.

So Back to secret INvasion–I think the context behind the show was flawed from the start. This is one of those times when I have to compare this story to the comics, and to show why maybe this adaptation wasn't right for the MCU/. in the comics, the skrulls have been villains since Fantastic Four number 2. Some skrulls are good guys, but comic readers generally accept that the skrulls are villains.

So, when a Secret INvasion crossover was announced, we understood what it meant–the skrulls were about to hatch the villainous plan they’d been building up toward since 1961. But in the MCU, the movie captain marvel went for this reversal to make the skrulls good guys. [straw drink]. Now for the movie and for Carol's character development, this was a great choice. It showed Carol that she had been fed lies about the war, made her question her identity, and humanized refugees.
