Hoo boy! Eddie got it in December, Elliot got it in February, and Tom just got back from a holiday and convention so... Which one of us has COVID?

Here's a nice longer podcast where we just kinda chat for an hour and then get extremely opinionated instead of signing off.

Off the top of my head for the actor paradox situation in the MCU, Shakespeare is referenced in the first Avengers in reference to Thor's way of speaking, but the character Volstagg from the Thor movies, if I recall correctly, isn't a character from actual norse mythology but is based on Falstaff from Henvy IV, who I think was unique to the play and not a real historical figure.

In the Ultimates comics from the early 2000s, there's a version of Nick Fury modelled on Samuel L. Jackson. In one issue, the Avengers are sitting around discussing who they'd cast as themselves in a movie. When he's asked, Nick Fury says: "Why, Mister Samuel L. Jackson, of course." So in the Marvel comics universe, there is a Nick Fury who just happens to look exactly like Samuel L. Jackson, and *coexists with him.* And of course it's that Nick Fury on whom the MCU Nick Fury was based. So the solution to the Samuel L. Jackson/Nick Fury/Mace Windu conundrum: MCU Nick Fury just happens to look like Samuel L. Jackson.

The whole MCU segment was so frustrating, because you were making so many additional assumptions that don't have to be true. Let's say we can prove that Star Wars exist and the prequels exist, that doesn't mean that an actor that looks like Nick Fury plays Mace Windu in it. We've already seen 3 Peter Parkers from 3 universes and they look nothing alike. There's no reason to believe that MCU's Samuel L. Jackson looks like Nick Fury.
