The doctors use the upcoming Marvel movies to discuss how the pandemic has influenced our ‘New Normal’.
Marvel Movies and the New Normal Transcription 1 00:00:05,455 –> 00:00:07,791 Welcome to Take Good Care 2 00:00:07,791 –> 00:00:11,161 and endeavor of Peachtree City Obstetric and Gynecology. 3 00:00:11,611 –> 00:00:14,898 Our aim and mission is to serve as a source of vital information 4 00:00:14,898 –> 00:00:19,019 and discussion for women of all ages, races and walks in life. 5 00:00:19,803 –> 00:00:21,621 I’m Dr. Mironda Williams. 6 00:00:21,621 –> 00:00:22,172 I’m Dr. Deanna Guthrie, 7 00:00:22,172 –> 00:00:24,924 and I am Dr. Karen Greene. 8 00:00:25,191 –> 00:00:28,044 Welcome to our show. 9 00:00:34,100 –> 00:00:35,035 So those of you 10 00:00:35,035 –> 00:00:40,673 who are checking us out on our YouTube channel can see that 11 00:00:40,673 –> 00:00:44,394 we are dressed a little differently than we usually do. 12 00:00:45,745 –> 00:00:50,600 And that is because recently at the time of the taping of this show, 13 00:00:50,600 –> 00:00:55,221 we all viewed the trailer for Black Panther Two, 14 00:00:55,889 –> 00:00:58,258 otherwise known as Wakanda Forever. 15 00:00:59,642 –> 00:01:03,713 So we decided because we all love Marvel and love the movies, 16 00:01:03,713 –> 00:01:07,617 that we would do an homage to Marvel and movies and why we love them. 17 00:01:08,184 –> 00:01:10,403 But also, there is a rumor 18 00:01:11,154 –> 00:01:13,189 that at the premiere 19 00:01:13,857 –> 00:01:18,895 of the New Black Panther movie that’s debuting November the 11th of 2022, 20 00:01:19,979 –> 00:01:21,981 that we will be wearing white. 21 00:01:22,465 –> 00:01:24,984 We we will be wearing white. 22 00:01:25,802 –> 00:01:29,155 So since we will be wearing white for the premiere, we decided 23 00:01:29,155 –> 00:01:33,860 to break out some of our African regalia in honor of the movie 24 00:01:34,277 –> 00:01:36,563 and our own collective heritage. 25 00:01:36,863 –> 00:01:39,783 And so we truly believe that Wakanda is forever 26 00:01:40,250 –> 00:01:43,319 and Wakanda is a state of mind. 27 00:01:43,319 –> 00:01:46,523 Also, we launched this podcast by way of introduction. 28 00:01:46,523 –> 00:01:49,976 We launch this podcast right at the beginning of the pandemic 29 00:01:49,976 –> 00:01:52,045 in March of 2020. 30 00:01:52,045 –> 00:01:55,315 So for those of you who followed our first two seasons, 31 00:01:55,315 –> 00:01:58,501 we did a number of shows during those seasons 32 00:01:58,952 –> 00:02:01,638 talking about COVID, 33 00:02:01,638 –> 00:02:05,758 the biology or the pathophysiology as it was evolving. 34 00:02:06,326 –> 00:02:08,995 We talked about vaccinations and just 35 00:02:10,580 –> 00:02:12,782 distancing, masking handwashing. 36 00:02:12,782 –> 00:02:14,450 Just did a lot of talk about COVID 37 00:02:14,450 –> 00:02:18,805 during those first two seasons, and we haven’t really done that this year. 38 00:02:18,838 –> 00:02:20,790 Again, not because COVID has gone away. 39 00:02:20,790 –> 00:02:22,142 Because COVID has not gone away. 40 00:02:22,142 –> 00:02:25,345 Unfortunately, we are probably moving into more 41 00:02:25,345 –> 00:02:28,164 of the endemic phase of COVID. 42 00:02:28,498 –> 00:02:30,033 So COVID is with us. 43 00:02:30,033 –> 00:02:33,953 This COVID will probably remain with us for a while yet, 44 00:02:34,404 –> 00:02:38,274 but now we have to deal with those things that we love to do 45 00:02:38,274 –> 00:02:43,313 life, work and everything in this new era in what is now our new normal. 46 00:02:44,514 –> 00:02:45,148 So we’re going to 47 00:02:45,148 –> 00:02:48,868 talk about something that’s fun for pretty much 48 00:02:48,868 –> 00:02:51,771 everyone that we love to do, and that’s going to the movies. 49 00:02:52,338 –> 00:02:54,807 We all like going to the movies and finding things to do 50 00:02:54,807 –> 00:02:56,309 with our friends and family. 51 00:02:56,309 –> 00:02:57,861 And for me that I’ll talk about later, 52 00:02:57,861 –> 00:03:00,630 I like to go by myself and I’ll explain why a little bit later, 53 00:03:02,098 –> 00:03:05,118 but we still have to be mindful 54 00:03:05,118 –> 00:03:07,787 that we’re in an endemic at this point with COVID. 55 00:03:08,121 –> 00:03:09,839 And so therefore we still have to be smart 56 00:03:09,839 –> 00:03:13,860 with things when we travel and do the other things that we enjoy. 57 00:03:14,010 –> 00:03:14,427 So 58 00:03:14,427 –> 00:03:17,580 Dr. Greene helped to outline the kind of run a show for today. 59 00:03:17,580 –> 00:03:21,167 And so one of the things that she had me to review was 60 00:03:22,552 –> 00:03:23,903 an article that talked 61 00:03:23,903 –> 00:03:27,774 about why some people or why it is felt 62 00:03:27,774 –> 00:03:31,611 that Marvel movies are better than DC Comics. 63 00:03:31,611 –> 00:03:33,780 Now, listen, people don’t don’t write in. 64 00:03:34,881 –> 00:03:37,700 We we’re not, we’re not picking sides. 65 00:03:38,451 –> 00:03:40,520 I happen to like them all. 66 00:03:40,520 –> 00:03:43,473 I like all superhero flicks. 67 00:03:43,473 –> 00:03:45,558 So this is not a statement. 68 00:03:45,808 –> 00:03:47,994 But just to get the conversation started 69 00:03:49,012 –> 00:03:51,714 and this particular article, again, this was came out 70 00:03:52,165 –> 00:03:54,767 when the first Black Panther movie came out. 71 00:03:54,767 –> 00:04:01,040 And because of the huge success of that movie and the interest that came 72 00:04:01,040 –> 00:04:04,260 about at that time with the black Panther movie, there were a lot of 73 00:04:04,494 –> 00:04:07,463 there was a lot of discussions in articles about Marvel and DC comics 74 00:04:07,463 –> 00:04:08,815 and just movies in general. 75 00:04:08,815 –> 00:04:13,052 So this particular article talked about how Marvel has long been 76 00:04:13,436 –> 00:04:14,671 kind of the dominant 77 00:04:15,989 –> 00:04:17,307 storyline in the cinematic 78 00:04:17,307 –> 00:04:20,843 universe when it comes to superhero superhero movie franchises. 79 00:04:21,377 –> 00:04:25,315 And they mentioned in this article that the hot streak really began 80 00:04:25,315 –> 00:04:28,952 when the first Iron Man dropped, which is back in 2008. 81 00:04:29,852 –> 00:04:31,321 Now, Dr.Greene 82 00:04:31,321 –> 00:04:34,307 asked me to pick my favorite. 83 00:04:34,307 –> 00:04:36,709 I can’t say I have a favorite 84 00:04:36,709 –> 00:04:38,911 because it depends on what’s out, 85 00:04:39,662 –> 00:04:42,932 because when Iron Man dropped Iron Man was my face. 86 00:04:44,600 –> 00:04:46,769 And so now that Black Panther 87 00:04:46,769 –> 00:04:50,039 and Wakanda is with us, Wakanda is my favorite. 88 00:04:50,390 –> 00:04:54,377 So but that’s who knows what happens next, because I like Doctor Strange 89 00:04:54,377 –> 00:04:55,878 and I like the seven rings. 90 00:04:55,878 –> 00:04:56,429 And anyway. 91 00:04:56,429 –> 00:04:58,998 So we don’t just mean stay focused now. 92 00:04:59,299 –> 00:05:00,566 Stay focused. 93 00:05:00,867 –> 00:05:05,188 But I thought this article was interesting because they 94 00:05:05,688 –> 00:05:10,560 did a number of surveys and interviewed various people who saw both Marvel 95 00:05:10,560 –> 00:05:15,948 and DC comic movies to get an idea of what the market research revealed. 96 00:05:16,649 –> 00:05:20,720 And so what this article talked about is that people, or what they surmise 97 00:05:20,720 –> 00:05:24,090 from the study is that people prefer Marvel 98 00:05:24,090 –> 00:05:27,560 superhero movies over DC comics 99 00:05:28,044 –> 00:05:31,097 because the audience can emotionally engage 100 00:05:31,097 –> 00:05:33,533 more with the Marvel superheroes 101 00:05:34,167 –> 00:05:39,122 that we are all drawn into, the human connection that we feel 102 00:05:39,355 –> 00:05:44,060 with the Marvel characters, more so than the DC comic characters. 103 00:05:44,060 –> 00:05:47,063 And I’m not sure if I agree with that, but I do think, you know, as 104 00:05:47,063 –> 00:05:51,868 I thought about the movies, the the human storyline and the relationships 105 00:05:52,352 –> 00:05:55,738 that the Marvel characters tend to have, I think is developed 106 00:05:55,738 –> 00:06:00,093 probably a little bit more in the Marvel movies, more so than in the DC comics. 107 00:06:00,093 –> 00:06:03,946 So you do really connect with them as people, not just because they are 108 00:06:03,963 –> 00:06:06,232 superheroes and have, you know, special powers. 109 00:06:06,949 –> 00:06:12,288 So I do see how that can be can be something that may be relevant. 110 00:06:13,489 –> 00:06:15,141 Also, they talked about just 111 00:06:15,141 –> 00:06:19,612 their huge response, not just to movies, but to the movie trailers 112 00:06:20,179 –> 00:06:24,200 that are release, you know, weeks and now months before the movie even hits. 113 00:06:24,200 –> 00:06:27,387 And so with this run since 2008 114 00:06:27,737 –> 00:06:30,273 that Marvel has had with all of the 115 00:06:31,607 –> 00:06:34,110 superhero movies that have come out in the Marvel 116 00:06:34,110 –> 00:06:38,514 Universe, is like the trailers get more hits and views 117 00:06:38,514 –> 00:06:43,503 or as much as the actual movie, as evidenced by the most recent 118 00:06:43,803 –> 00:06:47,807 Wakanda Forever movie trailer that dropped in the recent Comic-Con. 119 00:06:47,807 –> 00:06:51,227 It had like a million views and less than like 2 hours. 120 00:06:51,227 –> 00:06:51,894 Something crazy. 121 00:06:51,894 –> 00:06:54,263 Yeah, it is just so good. 122 00:06:54,263 –> 00:06:55,498 It’s just like, you can’t wait. 123 00:06:55,498 –> 00:06:57,650 It’s like you can’t wait 124 00:06:57,984 –> 00:06:59,268 for sure that they put it out so early. 125 00:06:59,268 –> 00:07:01,170 Yeah, well, is marketing. They know it. 126 00:07:01,170 –> 00:07:02,822 They know, they know. 127 00:07:02,822 –> 00:07:04,340 And that’s okay. That’s okay. 128 00:07:04,340 –> 00:07:05,875 I’m all here for it.
