FF #5: …The Sound of War

You can listen to the episode by clicking: Episode 133

We are in the party zone now. We have a bunch of Reeds and a bunch of villains and a bunch of kids…..and don’t forget the mistakes and regrets. What else can POSSIBLY go wrong?

Book and Beer

First of all, we probably should talk about underestimating the problem. You make plans and you estimate the size of the opposition and then you head out to fight. Now, what could be the worst that can happen during this step?…Well, bad intelligence and low balling the threat. You can end up out there all alone. One little man against a mob.

I Made a Horrible Mistake

That brings us to fire power. Do you have the right weapons for the job? Do you have competent people to operate the weapons? Do the weapons work? Honestly, it is amazing that we are able to be successful at all with the number of moving pieces in the world. Sometimes we just need suction cup guns to even the playing field.

Bad Bad Bad Boys

If you have the correct response and the appropriate weapons, do you have a good visual on your enemies? This is a good question to ask when you are attacking or about to be attacked, or if you have fallen into a deep dark hole, or if you have been hit in the face with webs….or something.

Fish Caught in Net….Get IT!!

OK, so now you are in trouble. You have failed and have been caught….maybe by a net, or just by a bad decision…..or by a crustacean. Whatever happened, here are some things you should do. First, don’t panic. Second, get some Bactine, that looks nasty and could get infected.

Time to Crack an Alex

What about villains? Yeah, you got them, and you should be worried about it. They usually come with big plans, big guns, big lackeys, and big egos. So what are you gonna do? Well hotshot?

We Rock

Oh, you are going to shoot them with a gun. Nice. Way to go hotshot. Now you have really made a mess of things. I don’t even know what we are doing. No really…I don’t….I am watching a movie while I am writing this so I really do not know what is happening.

Pew Pew

Well, I just hope that you have accomplished what you wanted to. I hope that you are sitting in the chair that you so richly deserve. I hope that you have destroyed your enemies and made the world see how awesome you are. If not…I hope that you had fun.

I’m Bad

  1. Greetings from Spain. Great podcast! Are you going to make another cameos issue? You could talk about Secret Warriors #8 (2017), and The Unbelievable Gwenpool #16 (2016). They have both cool Power Pack cameos.

    1. Oh, we are going to cover all of those issues. I think that the Gwen Pool ones might be on our Patreon episodes since they are sort of alternate reality. I am still trying to decide if the Secret Wars will be on the main feed or on Patreon.
