So, we'll see, we'll always be falling off on Star Wars and Filoni, so we'll go from there and see. We'll take our next ad break and we'll be right back.

And we are back. All right. So, Spider-Man, we got some content here. We got Spider-Man, brand new day, gonna get some extended and new scenes added to a cut. It's gonna be re-released. One of these scenes is gonna be Claire from Netflix series. She wasn't here helping punish her in Spider-Man. She's gonna be back in it, so I want you guys thoughts on that. And then also, Amazon is going to be adapting the Clone Wars Saga, or not Clone Wars Saga, fuck.

SPEAKER_2 (0:38)

yeah, circle back. Circling back.

SPEAKER_1 (0:40)

Yeah, huge news. They just sold Star Wars to Amazon, fuck. But no, they're gonna be adapting the Clone Saga. We've talked about this a few times where, and I wanna give you guys the full, cause we've talked about this in just a little bit. I had read this way back in the 90s when I was a wee lad. Let me see, cause I had a good, the breakdown of it for you guys. So, let's see here. The Premise is a famously highly controversial story from the 1990s, which obviously, yes, there's lots of people that hate the Clone Saga. I love the Clone Saga. Awesome, big Ben Riley fan. The Premise, a mad scientist named Morales Warren, aka the Jackal, creates genetic clones of Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy. They did this once to make it look like Gwen was alive, but obviously she wasn't because, you know, cloning. Ben Riley, one clone. Ben Riley adopts the identity of Scarlet Spider-Man and believes he is the real Spider-Man. The big twist, midway through the saga, writers turned the comic upside down by declaring Peter Parker was actually the clone along and Ben Riley was the original Spider-Man.

Why is it infamous? Over-prolonged was supposed to be a short three-month event which dragged on for over two years because the comic sold so well.

Fan backlash, readers deeply hated the confusing plot twist, especially the decision to sideline Peter Parker. The resolution Marvel eventually reversed the twist, and brought back the classic Green Goblin, Norman, as a true mastermind, kill off Ben Riley to restore Peter as the one and only Spider-Man. And then also introduced characters like Kane Parker, who was the first deficient clone. Now, to give you some more details on this, there's actually quite a few details, but two possible story plot points. Is Sirius going to follow Ben and Kane Parker as they grapple their newly discovered identities as clones while facing other clones? Ben and Kane's origins are as clones are changed and they can take on new identities. And then there was some other details here, hang on, where were they here?

It's being pitched as a buddy cop style show with Ben Riley and Kane Parker kind of like lanterns. They discover their clones, which leads to the main plot of the show. But here's the kicker where they are clones of Peter Parker.

There's no mention and it sounds like that is not going to be a thing here. So Taylor, I'm going to throw to you because we kept kicking this down the line. You've never spoke on this. Spider Noir, I don't need a whole brand, but Spider Noir was canceled. You really enjoyed that. Do you have much faith in anything from Sony and doing like stuff with Amazon? Like does this interest you as far as like, okay, you know, why I fell in love with it was I loved the look. I loved blonde hair Spider-Man. I loved the idea of Ben Riley, very Cotar-esque, like someone not knowing who they were, yet to that, but to me, that was the fun thing of like, oh, a clone thinking he's Peter Parker and he's not. Where in this, they haven't said this, but it kind of sounds like Peter Parker would not be around because I'll see Tom Holland's over there. It's not going to be connected. So you had any interest this after they, you know, kicked, kicked Spider Noir to the, to the off the sidelines. I'm just off the game.

SPEAKER_2 (3:42)

Yeah, Spider Noir, one of my favorite fucking shows. That show was fantastic. Now, with this news here, it's interesting because, okay, the character Ben Riley, and I tried to come to terms with why they would axe Spider Noir when it was just like making a name for itself. You know, it was just, it was, it was knocking out of the park.

SPEAKER_1 (4:03)

Supposedly, it was very expensive.
