Did it live up to the hype? We break down the massive opening weekend numbers, check out the Rotten Tomatoes scores, and review the results of our own community polls. Plus, Dave continues his hilarious box-office vendetta against The Odyssey!

Box Office Clash: Spider-Man: Brand New Day swings into a massive $927 million worldwide opening weekend, edging out The Odyssey.

The Ratings Are In: We take a look at the stellar 90% Critic and 98% Audience scores on Rotten Tomatoes, plus our own X and YouTube community polls.

Will you still buy PlayStation games if you don’t actually own them? 🚨 Sony just dropped a massive bombshell on the PlayStation Blog: starting in January 2028, they are officially ending the production of physical game discs for all new PlayStation titles.

In this clip from Super Hero Speak episode #693, we break down what this 100% digital future means for everyday gamers. We’re discussing the complete destruction of the used game market, what this means for retailers like GameStop, and the harsh reality that digital “ownership” means your library could be erased if you don’t log in for three years. Plus, if Sony is cutting out all the physical printing and shipping costs, shouldn’t a new game drop back down to $50? (Spoiler alert: corporate greed says no).

What do YOU think about the end of physical media? Are you going all-digital or fighting back? Let us know in the comments! 👇

Are we getting a proper T’Challa recast in the MCU?

In this clip from our latest live stream, we break down the massive news out of San Diego Comic-Con! Ryan Coogler has officially announced Black Panther 3, and it looks like Shuri’s time in the suit is up. Marvel has cast David Johnson as the adult version of T’Challa’s son, who was introduced at the end of Wakanda Forever.

But does a massive time jump actually make sense? We don’t think so!

🎬 Video Highlights:
The Big SDCC Announcement: Ryan Coogler confirms Black Panther 3 is in the works, with a current projected release date of December 15, 2028.

The Casting News: David Johnson is stepping into the MCU as an adult T’Challa Jr.. Shuri will not be returning as the Black Panther.

The “Smokescreen” Theory: We call BS on him playing a rapidly aged son! We dive into why this casting might actually be a panel smokescreen for a proper T’Challa recast.

The Secret Wars Connection: Secret Wars is set to release in 2027, before Black Panther 3. We theorize that this “new” Black Panther will actually be a T’Challa pulled from another universe during the multiverse reset.

Viewer Q&A: We also tackle great questions from the chat, including a debate on which villains were actually right and how to explain a time jump. Plus, we take a brief detour to find out what Don is drinking (shoutout to Diet Dr. Pepper!).

Join the conversation:
Do you think David Johnson is really playing T’Challa Jr., or is this a multiverse misdirection to bring back the true King of Wakanda? Let us know in the comments!

Star Wars is heading 1,000 years into the future! Dave and Don react to the stunning new trailer for the Star Wars: Visions continuation, The Ninth Jedi, and it is absolute FIRE. 🔥

Set a millennium after The Rise of Skywalker—where the Jedi and Sith are nothing more than a myth—this series is ready to flip everything we know about the galaxy far, far away on its head. We’re breaking down the best moments from the trailer, including that badass samurai-inspired anti-Sith hunter, the red lightsaber that never turns off, and the color-shifting blades that change based on who wields them!

Plus, we’re tapping into some serious Gen-X nostalgia as we look back at the history of different colored lightsabers—from Samuel L. Jackson’s iconic purple blade to the original yellow lightsaber on the Kenner Luke Skywalker action figure.

The ultimate Comic-Con moment just happened!** 🤯 In this clip from the latest Super Hero Speak live stream, we break down Marvel’s absolute domination of San Diego Comic-Con and the Hall H moment that broke the internet: Ryan Reynolds crashing the *Avengers: Doomsday* panel in full X-Force Deadpool gear!

Why was he wearing the grey suit from *Deadpool 2*? Does this mean Deadpool is officially joining the fight in *Avengers: Doomsday* and *Secret Wars*? We dive deep into our craziest MCU theories, how Marvel might use a retro ’60s *Fantastic Four* and a WWII-era *X-Men* universe to set up the ultimate multiversal collapse, and whether Hugh Jackman is really going to be playing Wolverine until he’s 90.

Is Marvel getting desperate, or is this pure genius?

In this clip from Super Hero Speak #692, we react to the shocking news that Marvel is reportedly re-releasing Avengers: Endgame as an “Encore” edition with brand-new footage specifically designed to set up Robert Downey Jr.’s Doctor Doom and Avengers: Doomsday.

Is this a total cash grab, or the narrative bridge the MCU desperately needs right now? J.D. Oliva joins the crew to break down why this feels like an admission of failure for Phase 4 and 5, the rising problem of “Marvel Homework,” and why we’re probably going to buy a ticket anyway.

💬 What do you think? Will you go to the theater to see the new Endgame footage, or are you waiting for it to hit Disney Plus? Let us know in the comments!

Has Jason Momoa’s acting truly evolved, or is his latest role simply a perfect match for his iconic presence? We dive into the contrast with his Aquaman performance. #JasonMomoa #ActorEvolution #Hollywood #MovieAnalysis

In this clip, we break down the massive news hitting the comic book industry: Marvel Comics has officially named Stephen Wacker as its new Editor-in-Chief, replacing C.B. Cebulski!

Join the conversation as we unpack everything you need to know about this major transition, including:

C.B. Cebulski’s Departure: Cebulski is stepping down as EIC to head up Marvel’s Asia Originals and manga division in Japan. We also reflect on his controversial past writing under the Japanese pseudonym “Akira Yoshida” and how that impacts his new role.

Who is Stephen Wacker? We dive into Wacker’s editorial history at Marvel, including his infamous past beef with legendary writer J. Michael Straczynski.

The Spider-Man Connection: Wacker was a key editor during the highly controversial Brand New Day era of The Amazing Spider-Man. If you were hoping Peter Parker and Mary Jane would finally restore their marriage, this appointment might mean the “One More Day” status quo is here to stay.

The Future of Marvel Comics: With DC currently dominating comic sales, is Marvel preparing for a major structural pivot? We debate whether Marvel’s growing focus on manga and animation is a strategic move to regain relevance and appeal to a brand-new audience.

What do you think of Stephen Wacker taking over as Marvel’s new Editor-in-Chief? Drop your thoughts in the comments!

After nearly 90 years of calling the Big Apple home, Marvel Comics is packing up and moving its publishing operations to Burbank, California! In this clip from Super Hero Speak, we break down this historic overhaul and what it means for the future of the comic book industry.

Is this move driven by local politics and taxes, or is it simply a corporate strategy to bring the comics division closer to Marvel Studios and Disney? We dive into Marvel’s deep roots in real-world New York City—where legendary creators like Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko used the actual skyline as their inspiration—and compare it to DC Comics’ relocation a decade ago. We also discuss whether this will actually affect the comic creators, many of whom already work remotely.

Was the Batgirl movie actually that bad, or was it a victim of corporate cleanup? 🚨 In this clip from our livestream “Is the DCU DOA? The Hard Truth One Year In,” we break down J.K. Simmons’ recent revealing comments on the Happy Sad Confused podcast regarding the shelved DC project.

Simmons, who was set to reprise his role as Commissioner Gordon, confirmed that Batgirl’s test scores weren’t terrible, blowing up the narrative that the movie was “unreleasable” due to its quality. Instead, he made it clear: the cancellation was strictly a business decision.

But does the rabbit hole go deeper? We discuss the massive implications of Michael Keaton’s Batman being tied to the project, the timeline reset of The Flash, and whether James Gunn had a hand in burying the movie to avoid dealing with multiple Caped Crusaders in his new DCU. Could a hidden contract clause have forced WB to make more movies with Keaton if Batgirl succeeded?

Let us know what you think in the comments—should Warner Bros. release the Batgirl cut, or was shelving it the right move for the new DCU?
