00:00I could be wrong about that, that somebody's going to come, someone's going to come at me.
00:04I'm going to get come at.
00:05How would you feel if somebody else took up the Aquaman mantle?
00:09Water I'm taking out.
00:16Optimization culture.
00:18Yeah, I mean that ultimately everybody is on their own individual journey of who they are
00:25and something that could be extremely beneficial to one person could be extremely toxic to another
00:30because of our set of given circumstances and the way that we are expected to present to the world,
00:36we want to present to the world, and our past.
00:38So I think that ultimately it's like, you know, you just have to be who you are
00:45and accept that where you are at right now is good enough.
00:49And sometimes I think that optimizing can become a mask of accepting where you're at.
00:56But if it's helpful to get to where you want to be, then go for it.
00:59If you could tell little Jason where you are now, do you think he'd believe it?
01:03No way.
01:04Really?
01:04I mean, I can't believe where I'm at.
01:06No, God, no.
01:07I mean, I was just, yesterday I was like, I mean, there's just no way you're just going to blow
01:11your mind, kid.
01:12You know what I mean?
01:12Like, obviously I wish I'd probably just tell him just like, relax, but keep your foot on the gas.
01:17But just like, don't, maybe don't stress out as much.
01:20Was there ever a discussion about calling this movie Superwoman instead of Supergirl?
01:24Because I love that.
01:25Oh yeah, was that?
01:25No, there was never a discussion about it.
01:28I think the character, like, in the larger comic world is Supergirl.
01:36I think maybe Superwoman is like a completely different character.
01:39I could be wrong about that.
01:40That's somebody's going to come, someone's going to come at me.
01:43I'm going to get come at.
01:45I think it's like a different character.
01:48So, yeah, maybe later we call her Superwoman.
01:51How did that bit sort of come about where you're just like, I gotta mention this?
01:53I just gotta mention it.
01:55It was just that.
01:55It was literally just me being like, I gotta, I gotta, we gotta talk about.
01:59Yeah.
02:01It got a lot of laughs in the theater.
02:02I was like, you know what?
02:03Yeah, that is a good point.
02:03She's over the age of 18.
02:05Yeah, exactly.
02:06And I don't think she's been doing, I don't think she was doing this when she was a kid.
02:09I think for her it plays into just the larger idea that everyone kind of sees her as his,
02:14like plucky little sidekick.
02:15Yeah.
02:15And she's like, that ain't me.
02:17She's not Clark Kent in a skirt.
02:18No.
02:19No.
02:19Especially not this version.
02:20No.
02:22I was going to ask, is there ever a world in which we see your Lobo and your Aquaman on
02:27screen
02:27together?
02:28I think, you know, the cool thing is, is Peter Safran was at the helm with, you know,
02:35James Wan when I was doing Aquaman and now Peter Safran and, and I think James and James
02:41get along very well.
02:42You know, I'm sure in a world something like that might exist.
02:45You know what I mean?
02:46Like I think what James Wan was doing is kind of off, off the path of what Snyder had done.
02:53You know what I mean?
02:53Yeah.
02:54And he really wanted to change what Aquaman was like.
02:56Like James's, oh Jesus, Zach's Aquaman is very different than James's Aquaman.
03:03And that's something I had to navigate to keep like that essence of what Zach's idea was.
03:08And then have this, go into this bright, beautiful world of James and, you know, in a different
03:13way and balance that.
03:14And now there's, of course it's a possibility that he can, cause it's not really in Zach's
03:18as much.
03:19I think he could.
03:20How would you feel if somebody else took up the Aquaman mantle?
03:23What I'm taking out.
03:25Lobo's like, get out of here.
03:27No, no.
03:27We'll, we'll, but I think there's some, there's space.
03:30You never know.
03:30Yeah.
03:30I mean, shit, I'm Lobo right now.
03:32Anything's gonna be impossible.
03:33I think she is more open by the end of this movie.
03:36I think she is.
03:37Yeah.
03:37But I think the whole finding your people thing is like, Cara, it's actually not about
03:41other people.
03:42It's like, she has to find herself to let others in.
03:47And I think by the end of the film, she's willing to do that.
03:50Yeah.
03:50You know, people have always been there for her.
03:53Does she look at Clark differently, we think, by the time?
03:55By the end?
03:58Um, potentially, cause she is, she's changed.
04:00I think she's less black and white and less cynical, but I, again, I think it's all about
04:06her own internal battle.
04:08Yeah.
04:08You know, that's, it's a byproduct of that.
04:10How do you think Superman feels about Lobo?
04:12Was that ever-
04:13Oh, I'm just an annoyance.
04:14I'm just an annoyance of Superman.
04:16Really?
04:18I would think so.
04:19So he's just like, oh man, like just a pain in his ass.
04:22I mean, but we can also brawl, so it'd be good to-
04:25I would like to watch that.
04:26I'd like to think that Superman wouldn't stoop to that level, but I would probably like
04:31try to-
04:32See if you can push his buttons a little bit.
04:34Push his buttons a little bit.
04:35And then, you know, wouldn't mind having a little tussle with him.
04:38This is the second DCU movie, and also the second DCU movie to put Crypto in danger.
04:43I know.
04:43I'm getting a little worried.
04:44Is that a common theme?
04:45Was that a mandate by James?
04:47What's going on?
04:48No.
04:48I don't know.
04:49It was really just, it was from the comic.
04:51It was, we just loved Woman of Tomorrow, and it was in the comic, and it just felt like
04:55such a clear emotional buy-in.
05:00And yeah, don't be worried.
05:02Can we get a petition that we're done?
05:04We got to.
05:05No more dogs.
05:06Maybe it's just Crypto Joy from here on out.
05:09Just give him all the little biscuits that he wants.
05:11Yeah, I think that that's right.
05:16Yeah, I mean, everybody hello.
05:24Can you get the news?
