Part 2/14:

The discussion hilariously pivots to the frustrations surrounding major franchises like "Game of Thrones", "Star Wars", and the new "Superman" movie by James Gunn. The hosts are critical of George R. R. Martin's long delay in finishing "The Winds of Winter", implying avoidance rooted in fear of fan reactions and legacy concerns. They suggest that Martin cares deeply about his reputation but is sabotaging himself by not completing the series.

The conversation quickly veers into a critique of Hollywood’s obsession with re-shoots, rebranding, and the distortion of beloved characters. They spot re-shoots in Marvel productions and express skepticism about whether these add value or are mere attempts to fix perceived flaws, often referencing James Gunn's handling of the Superman reboot.
