Marvel’s desperation era? ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ is ‘nonsensical’ and ‘looks really bad’
The first trailer for "Avengers: Doomsday" has arrived, and it’s raising some serious questions about the future of superhero movies — especially whether or not anyone still cares about them.
And BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere admits that he has never cared less.
“It seems like they took all previous superhero movies and put them in a blender. And then just released whatever came out of that blender. A green sort of brownish mess,” he tells co-host Dave Landau on “Stu and Dave Do America.”
“The actual plot of it is nonsensical,” Dave agrees, adding that it “looks really bad.”
“I am not a fan of superhero movies generally. I don’t like the Marvel universe. I don’t get into this, so I’m not the right person to ask necessarily. To me, a lot of them seem kind of nonsensical,” Stu says.
The film stars Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom, which, Stu points out, seems a little desperate.
“It seems like a desperation move, like when they go on vacation in a dying sitcom, you know, and then they add a brother that you didn’t know existed and you’re just like they’re just reaching for whatever at this point,” Stu says.
“I feel like it hurts the Robert Downey Jr. trajectory, because you go from heroin addict who had all kinds of problems, you know, fell asleep in his neighbor’s race-car bed,” Dave says. “And then he came back and became Iron Man and a superhero ... and he’s lived this kind of extraordinary comeback. Why be the villain?”
“I am a fan of his work, but I think it hurts the actual RDJ,” he adds.

‘Run him for Congress’: Anti-ICE arsonist checks every Democrat activist box
Another leftist attack outside a federal building in Lower Manhattan has struck New York City, with 43-year-old Andrew Arrabaca landing himself in handcuffs as the alleged perpetrator.
The former U.S Army soldier allegedly doused the stairwell with gasoline, ignited it with a firework, and sent flames and smoke up the front of the building before shooting an airsoft gun.
“In fairness, he’s lighting gas on fire on cement,” BlazeTV host Dave Landau says on “Stu and Dave Do America." “That’s just going to go out, right?”
“But there was also fireworks and some other explosives. People were hurt, right?” co-host Stu Burguiere chimes in. “This is not like a nothing scenario.”
Stu also points out that this is becoming increasingly common on the left.
“This is not Osama bin Laden, right? This is not ... like this person necessarily tried to kill a bunch of people, but it is pretty indicative of what goes on over and over again with these leftists. They’re doing this stuff all the time,” he says.
“This is inherent on the left. This is part of the movement. ... It’s an extreme part of the movement, but it is central to what they’re doing and also something that often mainstream normal leftists, Democrats just overlook because it doesn’t count,” he continues. “They just delete all the left-wing violence and only look at right-wing violence.”
And in a press conference following the attack, FBI assistant director in charge James Barnacle let the public know that officials are taking the situation "very seriously."
“On his cart — he had a cart — he had anti-ICE literature on it. When he was being arrested, he yelled derogatory terms to ICE, used bad words. Obviously, he is an anti-American, anti-government extremist,” FBI Assistant Director in Charge James Barnacle said in a press conference after the attack.
“We know that from what he said. We know that from what he has said post-arrest, and we know that from his actions that he tried to take today,” Barnacle added.
“I mean,” Stu comments, “run him for Congress if that’s his profile.”

FDA sends mixed messages amid America’s explosive diarrhea outbreak
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is now walking back its claim that Taco Bell lettuce supplier Taylor Farms was a source of the epidemic of explosive diarrhea that plagued customers, even apologizing to the company for making a “false positive.”
A statement from Taylor Farms reads, “Yesterday, FDA informed Taylor Fresh Foods that one of its iceberg lettuce products from central Mexico had a ‘confirmed positive’ test for cyclospora. Today, we were informed that [the] FDA made a mistake, and this was a false positive. To be clear, at this moment, FDA has not identified a single positive product test result for cyclospora.”
“Acting on initial information provided by health officials, in an abundance of caution, we completed a voluntary recall of iceberg lettuce from central Mexico. Recalled product was limited to iceberg lettuce grown and processed in central Mexico,” the statement continued.
The company reminded consumers that none of its other products had been involved in the recall, before issuing a message to those who are sick.
“Our thoughts remain with everyone who has fallen ill in this outbreak. We are committed to working with public health authorities as the ongoing outbreak investigation continues,” the statement concluded.
“It’s just such a warm statement from a corporation,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere comments on “Stu and Dave Do America.”
“Basically, they [the FDA] didn’t even have this information, they sunk, probably, the stock of Taylor Farms if they even have one,” he continues. "And Taco Bell and probably 10 other places, right?“
“Right,” co-host Dave Landau jokes, “which is why I bought it.”

Elliot Page, Travis Scott, and ancient Greece: Christopher Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ is unrealistic — but should anyone care?
Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of “The Odyssey” is already generating plenty of controversy, as conservatives are pointing out that the casting of the film is “woke.”
“Christopher Nolan went from making a more realistic “Batman,” which is something that I really enjoyed, especially the first “Batman,” “Batman Begins,” to now making a movie about Greece starring black people,” Dave Landau tells co-host Stu Burguiere on “Stu and Dave Do America.”
The film stars Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy, which both Stu and Dave point out is historically inaccurate for ancient Greece.
“There’s a huge African-American population in ancient Greece,” Stu jokes. “People don’t realize that.”
“I will say, like, historical accuracy is sort of a weird thing. ... You go back in the day, maybe some of these people didn’t exist in these civilizations, but this is a fictional story,” he continues. “I mean, you know it’s a myth, right?”
“It is Greek mythology, I understand that, and you want a lot of the people to be Greek, but at the same time, I don’t really care,” Dave says, though he points out there are some choices he doesn’t quite agree with.
“For example, he put in rapper Travis Scott,” he explains.
Nolan also cast “Elliot” Page as Greek soldier Sinon.
“This is part of a long-term process where, you know, Ellen Page is trying to convince us that she’s a he. And, you know, unlike a lot of the people I see walking around that are trans, she’s putting the work in, right?”
In one photo of the cast, Page, who is 5'1", stood in front of her other cast members in a suit.
“It looks like a suit you would get for a ring bearer,” Dave comments.
“And you’d be like, ‘It’s fine. It’s for one day, and if we keep it, you can grow into it,’” he jokes.
“That’s exactly what it looks like,” Stu laughs. “You know, a couple things I noticed ... she looks like a kid that is, you know, trying to wear a suit for the first time around all these adults. And also it’s, like, a huge suit on her.”
