Hey you, welcome back to the channel. And guys, uh, we got the Krypton show that's coming out, uh, scheduled to air March 21st, I believe. And we got a very close-up look of Brainiac. A lot of us had pretty much theorized it was Brainiac. We could tell from his Skull Ship. We could tell it was heading to Krypton. We could see the red sun of Krypton. And guys, I really like what I'm seeing here. Um, at first, a lot of us wasn't really sure about what was going on with this show, uh, or what we could expect. David S. Goyer is heading up this show, and there are very similarities in the show and what getting, uh, what we got with the Man of Steel movies is he had the direct connection with DC. And I, I gotta tell you guys, I kind of like the kind of continuity there I'm feeling. Um, you know, whether it's supposed to be a direct continuity between Man of Steel— I think it is. I think it's supposed to be like a direct prequel. Don't quote me on that. But the way it looks, it looks great, guys. It looks top-notch. And apparently here they're going with the Brainiac that— the humanoid version of Brainiac, right? We've seen many incarnations of Brainiac throughout various TV series related to Superman and Krypton. We've kind of seen Brainiac as just a supercomputer, a super AI that 100% Krypton and no body, anything like that. We've seen Krypton, or I'm sorry, we've seen Brainiac as a type of robotic being where he does have a body, but it's just all like a machine. We've seen a Brainiac that looked 100% human, like what we got to see in Smallville. And we've seen, and we've, this is probably the most common depiction of Brainiac where he's this green humanoid alien type being. He has this body, and there are many origin stories as well where Brainiac, I believe the planet that he came from in some origin stories is Kalu, and there's also more so the story where he's kind of like this ancient AI thing humanoid that runs Krypton. Then he leaves, then he comes back. But yeah, this is gonna make for a very interesting show, guys, because we— the producer of the show, you know, is saying that it's— we're gonna see DC characters we probably wouldn't expect to see. And of course, in this trailer, we did get to see the Adam Strange character. and also the story we think we know. They've kind of hinted off, uh, that things may not go the way that we think. Uh, like, uh, we're accustomed to there being, uh, this story where we know Krypton is destroyed and, uh, we know that it will go into the Superman story. But the writers and the producers of this particular, um, show are kind of throwing a curveball at us. They're trying to say that, uh, there is this kind of Terminator time travel scenario, um, and that it doesn't take place necessarily 200 years, uh, before Superman is born and we're dealing with his grandfather Segel, but it's more so related to what's going on in the present day and a disturbance in the timeline. So let's think about that for a moment. If there's a disturbance in the timeline, we can have a completely different timeline where maybe Superman doesn't even exist, where maybe, maybe Krypton's never destroyed. They can go so many ways, you know, with this story. And I'm interested to see, I'm interested to see what they're gonna do, and I'm interested to see the various DC characters we're gonna see that we're not accustomed to seeing. Of course, we got to see Adam Strange in it in the story, and He somehow made it to Krypton. We know he's a human being. We know he generally was able to use the Zeta Beam to get to various places, but I'm not sure if he's even using the Zeta Beam. He may just be this type of natural adventurer type who is able to use some type of time travel machine to get to Krypton. I have no idea, but this looks like it's going to be a pretty interesting show, guys. Guys, are you excited? Are you as excited about the Krypton television show coming up as I am. Uh, comment below, let me know. Uh, tell me, do you like this version of Brainiac, um, better, or would you have preferred, um, another type of someone— the other versions of Brainiac we've seen? And I just want to say this real quick, uh, there, um, does seem to also be in the trailer many hints of Kandor, uh, with the Brainiac skull ship coming. And we know the story of Kandor, the Krypton city gets shrunken by some type of 5th dimension technology, uh, that where beings like Mr. Mizzleplicks exists, right? And somehow in the comics, Brainiac's able to exploit this technology. But, uh, I'm hoping that this Skull Ship is just so big that if they try to go with the story of him trying to preserve Kandor or take it some kind of way, I'm hoping maybe they just go with him taking the entire city. But then again, this technology that exists, uh, um, you know, in this universe is very advanced. So guys, anyway, tell me what you think.
