Are the New Giant STAR WARS Destroyers Too Big?

Star Wars: The Last Jedi is going to feature some really, really huge Star Destroyers. Huge-huge. Like, totally nutso huge. But just how big is too big? That’s what our experts tried to figure out on today’s Nerdist News Talk Back, as well as what to make of the other new Joker film—this time with 100% more Jared Leto—and if we should be excited about a John Cena/Kevin Hart Knight Rider reboot.

Host Jessica Chobot was joined by Nerdist’s very own Justice League heroes, her Bizarre States co-host Andrew Bowser, managing editor Alicia Lutes, and Mothership‘s Amy Vorpahl, a (not-so) long, long time ago, in a studio nearby, they discussed the photos of The Last Jedi’s new ships. The humongous Dreadnought, which at 2.5 times the size of a normal Star Destroyer apparently won’t even be the biggest one in the movie. But what does that mean for the plot, and will these over-sized ships suffer from the same problems of Starkiller Base? At the very least did the First order finally solve the whole “you can bring an AT-AT down by tying its shoelaces together” problem?

The gang also discussed the second new Joker movie announced this week, the one that will have Jared Leto reprising his role as the Joker, along with Margot Robbie returning as his partner in both love and crime, Harley Quinn. Will the movie, set to be written and directed by the team behind Crazy, Stupid, Love be a winner for DC, or just crazy stupid?

Finally you know they had to talk about the reported John Cena/Kevin Hart Knight Rider reboot. Is it so strange it can work, or just another attempt at cashing a check at the Nostalgia bank?

Watch to find out what they thought, but don’t forget if you want your questions answered on Nerdist News Talks Back, tune into our YouTube and Alpha channels at 1 pm PST when the show airs live every day.

It’s as much fun as new Star Wars ships are huge. And they are freaking huge.

What do you think? Does Star Wars have a supersize problem? Weigh in on that and the other topics of the day in our comments below.

GAME OF THRONES and STRANGER THINGS Are All Over Katy Perry’s Meme-Filled Music Video

Pop star/known Left Shark associate Katy Perry refers to her new music video for “Swish Swish” as “the most absurd game of the century,” and she’s probably right. The super fun video depicts a basketball game between a team of misfits (the Tigers) and an opposing squad that is about a thousand times better at the sport than they are (the Sheep). The one thing for which neither of the teams nor the video as a whole is lacking in is sheer star power. From Game of Thrones to Stranger Things to people famous for getting a metric ton of retweets, this video has an unexpected cavalcade of celebrity cameos.

A commentating crew of Rich Eisen and NBA legend Bill Walton run through the Tigers’ pitiable roster, prompting Walton to ask, “Where do they find these people?” Walton’s on to something: The Tigers are highlighted by Stranger Things‘ Gaten Matarazzo, that arm-swinging Backpack Kid, a.k.a. Russell Horning, and Kate “Kobe” Perry herself, and they’re also coached by Molly Shannon.

Meanwhile, the Sheep are coached by a blonde wig-wearing Terry Crews, and their roster is far more formidable: They have Hafþór Júlíus “Thor” Björnsson, a.k.a. The Mountain from Game Of Thrones, 10x Ms. Olympia champion Iris Kyle, and others who probably spent more time in the gym last weekend than any of the Tigers have in their entire lives.

GAME OF THRONES Deathwatch: Who Will Survive the Finale?

This Sunday is the last chance for Game of Thrones to kill off the people you love this season. Trying to guess who will get the broadsword has been a tradition since Ned Stark showed us what the show was really made of, but let’s be real with each other: the show’s position on killing has changed.

It’s a safer show. This season, with its impossible dragon fire ducking and returns from deep watery graves, has proven that attention has shifted away from the brutish, short life of Westeros to the traditional fantasy structure of Chosen Ones battling the growling hordes of unsympathetic monsters.

But did anyone ask the Night King what he wants? What if he’s actually a totally reasonable zombie? Did no one in Westeros see I Am Legend?

If Game of Thrones wants to genuinely shock us again, the entire last season will be from the Night King’s POV. I mean, there are crazier theories out there. Plus, it would be especially easy to shift our attention over to the White Walkers if everyone else is super dead. What are the chances of that happening? We’re breaking down some of the odds on Nerdist News today:

But then we also thought to go a little further, dive a little deeper, and have some fun with it. So who else might eat it in the finale? Let’s take a look.

Cersei

Chance of death: 0%

Getting the easy stuff out of the way first. Cersei hasn’t blown up entire, ancient religious superstructures to get snuffed in her first meeting with the Dragon Queen. There are too many loose ends, and her death would create massive complications that D.B. Weiss and David Benioff don’t seem interested in tackling at all right now unless teleportation is involved. Is it possible that she’ll overplay her hand, and Jaime or Tyrion will kill her (as that random woman prophesied all those years ago)? Sure. It’s also far more likely that her death will come next season. Especially since the most reliable rumors claim Lena Headey, Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau have all secured hefty per-episode contracts for season eight.

Dany and Jon

Chance of death: 0% + 0%

It’s taken seasons and seasons of what you could ungenerously call The Prologue to bring Daenerys across the Narrow Sea and reveal that Jon Targaryen Snow is the other main character of the story. She may lose her life next season, but killing her on Sunday would be a deep betrayal of what the new chapter of the saga has been building. Although, “Beyond the Wall” concerned itself largely with her potential death and the lack of true successors, so the show is clearly thinking about it in the context of a secured peace where (at least) 5 random throne-claimers don’t pop up just because a boar attacked the wrong fat guy.

As for Jon, they’ve already eaten their death cake and had it to too many times with him, including last week. That said, it the show killed either of these characters in “The Dragon and the Wolf,” I’ll shout like a madman into the night air that it’s the gutsiest show of all time.

The Night King

Chance of death: A snowball’s chance in hell

Uh, he’s the big bad. And he just got a dragon. And everyone’s gonna be in King’s Landing, so unless you have a teleporter…

Drogon/Rhaegal/Zombie Viserion

Chance of death or re-death: 0%

Speaking of dragons, the show would be insane to kill the zombie it just created or to slay another dragon so soon after. We’re just now getting to see their power on the field of battle, and dragon-fighting-dragon thrills are a series finale-sized spectacle, not something for immediate consumption.

The Three-Eyed Raven

Chance of death: What is death anyway, man?

Can you imagine if they killed Bran in the next episode? After all that wandering around north of The Wall and hanging out with Children of the Forest and doing ‘shrooms with Max von Sydow? He comes home, spouts cryptic nonsense, spooks Littlefinger over a dagger, and then croaks?

Tyrion and Jaime

Chance of death: 13% each

Going off the contract rumors once again, it seems like Jaime and Tyrion are both safe until next season, but there’s also no reason to take HBO’s pay structure as iron clad proof they’ll live through the rest of the tale.

Since Game of Thrones appears to be saving Jaime for…something…it would be back in Red Wedding sardonic mode to shake off his mortal coil after his dance with the dragon. Is he destined to kill his sisterlover? If so, will they die together? It’s a long shot, but the show loves its little parallels, so his final conversation with Lady Olenna lingering so headily on the poison (and the point about his “mercy” belabored again when chastised by Cersei) makes me wonder if he and Cersei aren’t headed for some Romeo and Juliet action.

Jamie and Tyrion are both in interesting positions, though. Major enough characters to be a shock, but minor enough (at this point) that the show could go on with few plot bumps. The emotional bumps are another thing entirely. Killing the Queen’s Hand, or killing the Other Queen’s brotherlover might create the kind of revenge that makes people forget about the undead things marching toward The Wall.

Bronn

Chance of death: 16%

Who even wants Bronn dead? The only person he really interacts with is Jaime now, and he’s not important enough for the major players to remove him from the board. He’s a sidekick in the truest sense, meaning that if he were to eat it this Sunday, it would be the result of a plot concept introduced this Sunday. Then again, he’s also traditionally expendable, so maybe he’ll end up sacrificing himself and slowly closing his eyes as he dreams of a castle he’ll never own.

Samwell Tarly

Chance of death: 20%

As with Bran, it’s not clear that Samwell has served his narrative purpose yet. If he died in the next episode, what was all that time spent at The Citadel for? Solely to save Jorah? To grab some scrolls on the way out? The story isn’t nearly done with Samwell, but his death would serve as a good-guy shock to the system. The only reason his percentage is so high is because the show used to kill people we liked.

Euron

Chance of death: 25%

Euron simply hasn’t had the time to establish himself as a forceful mini-boss the way, say, Ramsay “Sausage Fingers” Bolton did. He’s swift and brutal and looking to wed Cersei. The last time we saw him, he had destroyed Daenerys’ fleet in the pawn sacrifice of Casterly Rock, but if he’s returned to King’s Landing, he’s got Yara imprisoned in a dungeon there, and Theon potentially coming to join them as part of Daenerys’s retinue. That’s a recipe for killing.

Arya and Sansa

Chance of death: 30% and 40% respectively

If Game of Thrones were still the old Game of Thrones, Arya and Sansa’s season arc of sisterly distrust would feel like mutually assured destruction. Instead, it feels like a feint toward someone else’s death (scroll down a bit). Arya’s menacing monologue to her sister in the last episode was the show protesting too much. It would be crazy if the endgame were Arya killing Sansa or vice versa. Like a lot of other characters on this list, either one of them dying would raise big questions about why we watched them endure hell to become who they are only to set them at each others’ throats. What’s the point?

Still, the show has done more to put them in the direct line of harm’s way than other characters this season (except for anyone who got to see the dragons’ smiles). They’re separated from the bigger storyline and that isolation only adds to the sinister feeling of what might happen next. Fortunately, nothing bad ever happens to the Starks!

Theon

Chance of death: 4 out of 10 sausage links

At this point, Theon needs to be put out of his misery. He’s once again been shamed into despair by his own act of cowardice (abandoning his sister as Euron destroyed their fleet), which means he’d jump at the chance for retribution. In a sense, its these minor squabbles that most threaten Daenerys’ trip to King’s Landing: it’s tough to secure a truce when so many of your lieutenants want to murder the other side’s lieutenants. On the other hand, Theon killing Euron (and dying in the process) would kill a lot of birds with one stone. Cersei would be free of a nuisance, Theon could regain some stature, and the Drowned God would certainly be pleased.

Beric and Tormund

Chance of death: 50%

This is a true toss-up. Both characters are beloved (and badass) enough that seeing them go would take a real emotional toll, and they aren’t so important to the story that their demises would derail the plot, but the show had the perfect opportunity to send them off in a blaze of glory last week and didn’t. They even exploited our fear of losing Tormund before rescuing him from being buried under zombies at the last moment, and set up a scenario in which Beric could finally die for good by removing his Red Priest from the equation (R.I.P. Thoros). Then, they lived.

It would be surprising to see them return from death’s doorstep only to kick the bucket immediately afterward, but stranger things have happened, and if the crew is looking to beef up the death count for the finale, these two are (unfortunately) attractive candidates.

Littlefinger

Chance of death: 67%

Ugh. This guy. The entire narrative arc at Winterfell this season, whether you buy it or not, has focused on Littlefinger playing with fire by merely existing. It’s been impressive to watch this total non-player insert himself into the great game with wit and guile alone, rising up in the ranks all the way to Lord Paramount of the Vale with an army at his back to boot. But he’s still scheming in a way that he foolishly thinks is necessary. Old habits and all that. It would be poetic justice for him to get slashed trying to clean up a betrayal from 6 seasons ago. I mean, he told Ned Stark not to trust him. Now he’s going up against Arya and Sansa? It’s possible one of them will go down fighting him, but it seems far more likely that they’ll be rolling his corpse out of the tallest tower’s window together.

The Mountain and The Hound

Chance of death: 100% and 50%

Who’s pumped for Cleganebowl!?

I firmly believe that the outcome of this long-anticipated confrontation will cement the show’s ethos–whether that’s a return to the nihilism of the past or the hopefulness of the world Daenerys wants to create. One of them is definitely gonna die. If it’s The Mountain, there’s a chance for good guys in the new realm. If it’s The Hound, his long road to redemption will be met with the cackling laughter of Ned Stark and Robb Stark and all the others who thought justice meant something.

It’s no less than a battle for the show’s soul. Either the bad guy gets it, the good guy fails, or they both go down swinging. My money’s on The Hound walking away. He’s not one to boast before the fight is over. Right, Oberyn?

Who do you think will survive?

HOME ALONE Funko POPs are Coming Just in Time for the Holidays

It should come as no surprise that we absolutely love every collectible thing that Funko puts out. However, there’s an extra special place in our hearts reserved for when they release something that scratches the nostalgia areas of our hearts and minds in just the right way. Even more so when it’s something that seems completely out of the blue like these Home Alone Pops!

The 1990 movie that basically boils down to Lil’ Die Hard is a property we wouldn’t normally expect to get new merchandise. And here we are, yet again, wanting nothing more than to hand over our wallets in order to have these figures adorn our shelves. 

It’s still baffling to us all of the impossible ways evil super-genius Kevin McCallister found to maim his way through both films and how seemingly immortal the Sticky (née Wet) Bandits are. It’s kind of fitting that they’ll rub elbows with the rest of our collection of super-powered Pops!

Kevin is ready to take on the Bandits with his BB Gun and Iron while Harry has already experienced the blowtorch to the head and lived to talk about it. 

The even more impervious Marv has his crowbar at the ready and has already shaken off the (fatal to absolutely anyone else) impact of an iron falling from two to three stories up.

Basically, we’re saying that Kevin is a psychopath who spent two movies trying to murder two men who should be part of the Avengers.

These Pops! will be available November 2017 and the Wet Bandits 2-Pack will be available only at Best Buy!

What classic movie would you like to see Funko Popped! (not a term but go with it). Let’s discuss in the comments below!

DEATH NOTE Director Wanted David Bowie and Prince to Play Death God Ryuk

When Netflix announced its live action adaptation of Death Note, it was met with a flurry of raised eyebrows, concerns over perceived whitewashing, and the usual host of complaints that comes with trying to turn a fan-favorite anime/manga series into a feature film. However director Adam Wingard’s decision to cast Willem Dafoe as the murderous death god Ryuk was met with near universal acclaim. After all, Ryuk kind of looks like Dafoe but with slightly sharper teeth and a larger appetite for apples. However, according to a new interview with io9, Wingard revealed that while he was more than thrilled to land Dafoe in one of the film’s most crucial roles, he actually had his eye on not one, but two iconic rock stars to bring the sinister shinigami to life: David Bowie and Prince.

In the original manga and anime, Ryuk basically looks like the Slender Man had a gothy demon-baby with a glam rocker. In the interview, Wingard conceded that “there’s not a ton of precedent in American live-action films [for] a demon wearing glam rock clothing and leather pants and stuff.” When io9’s Katharine Trendacosta remarked on the description’s similarity to David Bowie’s iconic Goblin King from 1986’s Labyrinth, Wingard revealed that the late, great Thin White Duke was his first choice to play the thin, white death god.

“Well, as a matter of fact, David Bowie was actually originally who I wanted to [be the voice of] Ryuk—but then David Bowie died,” Wingard explained. “And then the second person on my list was Prince, weirdly enough—and then he died. And I was like, we got to stop, we’re literally killing them off. Which is really morbid, but it was true.”

While Willem Dafoe acquits himself admirably in the live-action Death Note, now–much like when I watch The Fifth Element or when I sit down to see Blade Runner 2049 later this year–I can’t help but wonder how much greater the end result might have been with one of rock ‘n rolls glam gods gracing the screen instead.

Death Note hits Netflix on August 25.

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS Gets an Anime Makeover

SpongeBob SquarePants is one of those rare pieces of pop culture gold that has managed to travel far beyond its initial standing as a children’s cartoon, and is beloved (ironically or not) by kids and adults alike. Even if it’s been a while since you’ve seen the show, chances are you can still sing its theme song by heart, recalling all the lyrics about the absorbent and yellow fry cook who lives in a pineapple under the sea.

In fact, SpongeBob‘s firm place in pop culture has led to a wide range of bizarre, clever, and downright creepy fan interpretations and reimagining of the show. In that vein, an animator and YouTuber called Narmak decided to reimagine the show’s theme as if it were an anime. Not only did the opening song get an anime makeover, but the tone of the show and the characters themselves did, too. We saw it first over at i09, and thought the results were nothing short of hilarious. Take a look for yourself:

Narmak gives Bikini Bottom quite the dramatic makeover as an anime, turning SpongeBob and Patrick into grizzled warriors for good (and protectors of the Krabby Pattie Secret Formula, I imagine). Meanwhile, Squidward morphs from an unhappy employee of the Krusty Krab to a vengeful assassin (who looks similar to the Handsome Squidward in the episode where Squiddy gets facial reconstructive surgery) who literally slices Patrick into pieces. #RIPPatrick

The video also does a great job of pulling in some of anime’s most used tropes while still managing to make the title sequence relatable to SpongeBob fans–let’s just take a moment to appreciate the “A R E Y O U F E E L I N G I T M I S T E R K R A B S???” note from Squidward. And though this is contrary to what you usually hear in regards to regular internet survival, the YouTube comments are just as hilarious as the video itself, and keep the “Spongebob is anime” joke going. It’s a delightful internet find, and we wouldn’t judge you at all for watching this video on repeat for a while.

What did you think of the anime title sequence? What other cartoons would you like to see get an anime makeover? Let’s talk about it in the comments!

“Star-Lord” Becomes “Star Wars” in GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2 Gag Reel

The Marvel Cinematic universe is cornering the market on super hero movies with as much humor as action, and Guardians of the Galaxy movies are undoubtedly the reason why. Director James Gunn‘s superhero space opera films walk the line between comedy and farce while keeping the intergalactic stakes palpable. But as you can see in the newly released gag reel from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, not all of the funny makes it into the film.

In this clip, Chris Pratt appears to improv a line about Star-Lord “doinking” that gets a laugh out of even the Sovereigns. Pratt’s onscreen father, Kurt Russell, is also prominently featured in the new footage, as Ego makes out with (and even licks!) a few alien women before spectacularly messing up Star-Lord’s chosen name. The look on his face is priceless.

There’s also some footage of the cast having fun on the set, as well as Zoe Saldana and Karen Gillan dancing while in full makeup as Gamora and Nebula. Earlier this month, Marvel released a slightly longer gag reel, which featured more flubs from the cast, as they struggled with their lines. Sylvester Stallone has apparently never said “ravage” in his life.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 was released earlier this week on Blu-ray and DVD.

Sounds Like GAME OF THRONES’ Cleganebowl Won’t Happen This Season

After a Game of Thrones centered on a daring (and possibly foolish) trek beyond the Wall, Sandor “The Hound” Clegane managed to return safely. Because the Hound isn’t dead, or even undead, our dream of a Cleganebowl is still alive! We’ve been thinking about the final confrontation between the Hound and his meaner, older brother, Gregor “The Mountain” Clegane, since their short duel in the first season. And while the Clegane brothers may finally be in the same place in the upcoming season finale, it doesn’t look like our prayers to the Seven will be answered this year.

While speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson – the man who has portrayed the Mountain since season 4 – said that the Cleganebowl is something that he would like to see. “And for most of the fans, it’s something they’re all waiting for,” added Björnsson. “It looks like it’s going to go that way, but who knows?”

Björnsson also shared his belief that the Mountain would easily defeat his brother. “I haven’t seen it yet in my head how I would kill him, but somehow I would smash his head or kill him like that,” related Björnsson. “I think the fight would be quick rather than something long. I think people would be expecting a big fight but I would finish him really fast. It would be a surprise to people.”

Respectfully, we think that the Hound would put up a better fight than that. During their brief duel in the first season, the Mountain clearly had the advantage of size and strength. But the Hound is a ruthless fighter and we wouldn’t ever bet against him. Although to be honest, we’d be surprised if either brother walked away from the Cleganebowl alive. Is the Mountain alive now?

Does Anyone Actually Want a Joker Origin Movie?

Nobody asked for a Joker origin movie, but it looks like Warner Bros. and DC are going to give us one…set in the ’80s…directed by The Hangover‘s Todd Phillips, and produced by Martin Scorsese of all people. Uh…yay? Nay? Meh-ay? That strange report was the first topic on the docket of today’s Nerdist News Talks Back, along with the internet apocalypse that was SNES Classic pre-ordering yesterday, as well as the small little matter of the future of the Guardians of the Galaxy and possibly the entire Marvel MCU.

Host Jessica Chobot was joined by Nerdist News writer Aliza Pearl, as well the editor tag team the Killer Kyles, Messrs. Anderson and Hill. Their first order of business was the bewildering Deadline report that we’re going to get a Jared Leto-less Joker origin (Leto is going to be pissed about that, right?). But does anyone need/want this movie. If so who will play the Joker this time, and will it connect to the rest of the DCEU? And what does this mean for standalone films DC films, including director Matt Reeves’ The Batman?

But while a Joker origin might be a disaster, yesterday’s nightmare of first day pre-orders of the SNES Classic definitely was one. Tune in to hear why some fans described their experience trying to get place an order as a “wet shart.” A term which has never been used to describe anything but a total “shitshow,” which was another common term used by would-be customers turned furious mob.

Finally the fearsome foursome talked about another group of heroes and what the future might hold for them, as they discussed James Gunn’s recent comments in a Facebook Live interview that made it sound like the makeup of the Guardians of the Galaxy will look very, very different after the third installment in the franchise. What exactly did he mean when he said Volume 3 will set up the Marvel MCU for the next 20 years?  And how might Nova factor into all of it?

But remember, you can get in on the conversation every day when Nerdist News Talks Back airs live on our YouTube and Alpha channels at 1 pm PST. Because hearing Jessica yell at Kyle Anderson is even more fun in the moment.

What? He had it coming after that “relish” pun.

THE LAST OF US Backpack Back Tattoo is Prepared for Anything

If you find yourself in the middle of the The Last of Us game trying to survive, you’re going to need supplies. Gumma Flores is all set, because he has a backpack filled with the necessities tattooed on over his entire back. A backpack design by artist Ollie Hoff inspired him. Flores told Nerdist, “The Last of Us has a very special place in my heart, and when I saw Ollie’s design I was blown away and did not hesitate to begin plans on adding the amazing piece of art on my back.”

I’d say it turned out rather well. Look:

The art was translated to ink form and applied by Nat Jean of Imago Tattoo Studio in Montreal over three sittings and about 13 hours.

Flores also shows his appreciation for The Last of Us on his wrist with this logo from the in-game Firefly militia group.

Make the expedition to the gallery below to see close-ups of the imagery in the backpack tattoo.

If you have nerdy ink on your skin or you’re a tattoo artist that applies pop culture, STEM, music, or other nerd-inspired ink (tl;dr: I want to see basically all of the tattoos–not only Star Wars ones) on a regular basis, then please hit me up because I’d like to highlight you in a future Inked Wednesday gallery. I’m especially interested if you have a sleeve or other large tattoo. You can get in touch with me via email at alratcliffe@yahoo.com. Send me photos of the tattoos you’d like me to feature (the higher resolution, the better) and don’t forget to let me know the name of your tattoo artist if you have it, as well the name of the shop he or she works out of. If you are the tattoo artist, give me links to your portfolios and/or Instagram accounts so I can share them with our readers.
