For those who aren't in the loop, the full video of his speech is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BBhNkywMJY

It was cut for time in the episode but it's glorious.

That's literally in the article, along with a clip of the Libingston County one: https://twitter.com/LaurenMGibbons/status/1100419006803128321

IIRC, Patton improv’d that whole speech in the moment.

So has this movie been released yet or is it still in production? (I'm assuming any pitch that involved robot Chewy would get approved instantly)

They still have to work out the rights to include the X-Men. Then they'll get on to filming.

The new Deadpool & Wolverine movie did just drop a trailer today...

Marvel better have something special up their sleeve for the xman. Cuz so far whooboy they are dropping the superball.

They're in danger of peaking in highschool right now.

[–] Deello@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They left highschool already. Peak confirmed. It's been downhill for a while now. The occasional spike isn't enough to reverse that trend.

I hope it's just a sophomore flop. Like how a lot of bands struggle with thier second album.

Because ultimately thier first album/story arc was iron man thru infinity war.

Thanks for sharing this! I had seen the episode, but had no idea that they had made the full speech available, nor that it was so long!
