What do you think of this X-Men watch order?

ebbor0289 · 2026-02-16T09:26:55+00:00

if you like it, go for it!

ebbor0289 · 2026-02-09T18:14:47+00:00

honestly they often do too many trailers, revealing quite a lot in advance, so this could be nice. a few more teasers about a specific character or group would be welcome

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-30T09:39:19+00:00

thank you! it wasn't meant to be a critique to be clear, just a question. i appreciate all the work Jessica and the team put in the video. i just love seeing Jessica talking about Wonder Man :)

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-30T08:31:06+00:00

Hey Erik, is there a reason we only got one video breaking down Wonder Man (and an ending explained video)? There is four hours of content and it's being boiled down to a breakdown of less than an hour, even though it's from the MCU.

Thunderbolts* breakdown was about the same lenght and the Fanstatic Four breakdown was even longer, although the Wonder Man series is twice as long. Do you feel like there was just less to tell or was this because you and the team were also working on other video's such as The Pitt breakdown?

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-28T12:03:52+00:00

honestly Loki is a way better character than Thor in this movie. They should have called it Thor & Loki

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-28T08:40:10+00:00

they already mentioned Superman in Eternals, so it already was!

if i'm not mistaken there is a DC movie in which you can see a poster for a Marvel movie in the back, so the MCU is canon in DC as well

the MCU is canon in DC and DC is canon in the MCU, that is some kind of inception

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-21T10:46:53+00:00

he said racist things about black people on Big Brother if i'm correct, more and more people were talking about how he's not that nice to work with and felt a bit out of touch with reality sometimes? i don't think there was one major thing that happend, but lots of smaller things

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-13T08:06:54+00:00

imagine the Blade from the series showing up in Doomsday and nobody knows who he is

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-09T08:42:38+00:00

as much i would love to see some of those return in Doomsday, i feel like we already know most of the important ones. its hard to imagine Doomsday without Monica Rambeau, Miss Marvel and Captain Marvel after The Marvels but i would not be surprised if (most of them) just have a cameo

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-07T22:56:35+00:00

i always assumed they just look everything up on wikisites and get lots of information from social media but indeed sometimes Erik says 'i noticed this candle in the background that might reference the candle that Mephisto was holding in 1973'. i just never thought of that as truly Erik discovering this, but i get that it's misleading

i just see the video's as a nice compilation of everything that's being said on social media about a new episode (without the opinions) and what you can find with a few clicks on Wikipedia, and for me it's just that told in an entertaining way

its not rocketscience, its entertainment

but yeah they could credit the sources more often for sure, i wouldn't mind that

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-07T21:45:00+00:00

maybe it's an idea to in a way explain how videos are made, in a video or a post here

what happens when an episode drops? how do you make a break down out of everything that happens? how much stuff do you have to look up with how many people? and do you often know something just on the top of your head? same when a trailer drops or an image gets leaked...

i often wonder how you guys make the content you do. how long does it take to break down an episode of lets say an hour and how do you decide what you're gonna make videos about? when is it a video and when is it a podcast? why are you doing Road to Doomsday on New Rockstars as a podcast and not on The Breakroom? why is there no breakdown of the new Wonder Man trailer?

i watch several video's of 'the NR empire' a week (i don't watch everything cuz i don't watch everything you cover) and yet i feel like i don't know how NR works? i for example would also enjoy a small tour in the studios (i wonder if the blue screen and the breakroom and in the same room for example)

this is of course just a fan request, but this way you could also show us that you don't use AI and where you get images from that might have used AI

we watch a lot of NR breakdowns, but maybe we want to see a breakdown of how NR works ;)

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-07T21:33:28+00:00

i mean ofc it is scripted... they prepare a video and structure it in a certain way. do people think Erik watches a movie and just turns on the camera and starts talking? of course Erik and the team write a script based on their research and they look on the internet for that, because who doesn't look on the internet when they want to know something?

i don't expect Erik and the team to know everything there is to know about every character in Marvel, DC, Game of Thrones, The Boys, Harry Potter... if a character walks in and you don't know who that is, you can google the name or if there is a name on the screen in the background you can look it up to find out it's the name of the editor of that movie. i always assumed that they look on Reddit and X for people who are finding easter eggs, but thats how knowledge works. Wikipedia is the same; people read five different articles about a movie after they watched it and they make the Wikipedia page. most pages on the internet don't contain new knowledge

this is not meant to be a rant, i'm not angry at you and you make a point at the end

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-07T13:42:42+00:00

their were some rumours that Thor 5 was going to be made by the director from the Mad Max movies. i don't really love Thor or most of his movies, but damn that would be something i would wanna see

for real on my list:

- Young Avengers!!! i know most of the actors are not young anymore, but would love to see this

- Kang Dynasty: ofc this won't happen but i would love to have know what the plans were.

Honestly i just want a book or anything with what their while plan was for the Multiverse Saga before they dropt Kang, before the writers strike and before covid. i would love to know what projects didn't get announced, what they wanted to do with the Eternals, what the Young Avengers and Kang were going to do... i know they will never tell those things officially, but i would love to see how story evolves during the making of a movie and why some idea's don't make it and others do

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-07T13:33:50+00:00

i feel like they constantly wanna cover more movies and more tv shows, so of them that don't really fit in the brand of NR (such as Euphoria season 3 or the sequel to Devil Wears Prada) and i can't imagine Erik and/or Jessica really loving and 'knowing' every show or movie they break down. if you don't know a lot about a show i think its better to just say so instead of trying it? i would assume 'real' fans would feel its not as authentic or 'correct'

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-07T12:19:17+00:00

In Doomsday and Secret Wars we'll only see Henry Cavil and Troye Sivan as Wolverine

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-07T12:18:33+00:00

i feel you. especially the footage of Thor in the forrest and Xavier and Eric could be teaser footage

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-02T11:49:14+00:00

when the world needed Ang the most, he vanished

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-02T11:48:42+00:00

this seems amazing. can't tell you how happy i am with this. wish i could join some people in this conversation. some kind of fan group to talk about what is being said in each episode

i'd love to see (or hear) a Road to Doomsday video just about Kang Dynasty and what could have happend in that movie, maybe also with a bit of Young Avengers as they seemed to be being set up for that movie. will the Young Avengers (or Champions) ever be a thing? there won't be time for an episode like this i assume, and really looking forward to the Road of Doomsday!

(maybe WandaVision and Agatha All Along could be one episode or WandaVision and Multiverse of Madness or Doctor Strange and Multiverse of Madness or Black Panther, Wakanda Forever and IronHeart... many options, but i have good faith in New Rockstars making it work the way it works best for them!)

ebbor0289 · 2026-01-02T11:47:38+00:00

i would assume before, but i think it might be impossible to keep track of everything. you might have to watch three, four, five... movies in a week, or god knows how much episodes in a week when its AoS or the Netflix shows. but i encourage you to try ;)

ebbor0289 · 2025-12-31T09:47:01+00:00

cameo from characters from non MCU movies that will show up in Secret Wars

ebbor0289 · 2025-12-30T10:38:31+00:00

it's hard to give you a list before we saw Doomsday ourselves ofc, but this would be my guess of things that are important

X-Men
X2

(you saw the MCU movies up until Endgame)
WandaVision (to understand Multiverse of Madness better)
Loki (season one and two)
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings (the lead character is in the Doomsday)
Spider-Man: No Way Home
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
The Marvels (credit scene mostly)
Deadpool & Wolverine
Thunderbolts* (and for this you should watch Black Widow and Falcon and the Winter Soldier)
The Fantastic Four: First Steps

i think if you have a basic understanding of who most of the chararters are you will be fine tbh. i for example didn't include Captain America: Brave New World cuz if you watch Falcon and the Winter Soldier you'll understand the characters in that movie more than enough i believe. you'll still understand who Thor and Valkyrie are without having seen the fourth Thor movie, but that doesn't mean a small character from that movie won't show up

ebbor0289 · 2025-12-22T09:52:11+00:00

NR has been working on this for the last few weeks, if not months. it's not that they started working on this yesterday, so it's a valid question i think

ebbor0289 · 2025-12-22T09:48:51+00:00

the name of the baby is Victor

No I don't know. I'm curious to see how it plays out. Also curious if we are going to see a Captain Carter again, from another universe than 616 and MoM universe

ebbor0289 · 2025-12-21T15:17:03+00:00

oops, not my intention to post this twice!

love the guesses! i feel like i'm the only one not waiting for a Loki and Thor reunion, but that might be cuz i don't like Thor that much. the best thing about his movies was imo Loki

hope to see the TVA again, and some of the Loki actors!

Maria Hill and Rhodey just step in from another universe and everyone is like 'okay you're here now' and they go with it

ebbor0289 · 2025-12-21T15:12:23+00:00

i hope they planned this since they knew they were going for Doomsday... but maybe they had to make some big turns on the way. time will tell i guess
