And of course, the increasingly controversial theatrical release of Justice League from Warner Bros. and replacement director Joss Whedon.

While 2020 was an odd year with several film delays, a few major releases did come out and render our theories surprisingly right or very, very wrong. What score does Erik deserve for 2020? And what predictions did Erik end up getting RIGHT?

RD-D2 knew horrifying truths about Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, and Leia... so why the hell didn't he tell anyone? Calm is offering a special limited-time promotion of 40% off a Calm Premium subscription at http://calm.com/BIGQUESTION. Star Wars' R2-D2 has been at the center of the Skywalker saga since the beginning, from A New Hope through the prequels, avoiding getting his memory erased in Revenge of the Sith, and playing major roles in the sequel trilogy and the Clone Wars animated series. Along the way, Artoo picked up all kinds of secrets -- dark truths the droid never divulged to ANYONE. In this episode of Big Question, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold examine WHAT R2-D2 knew, WHEN he knew it, and WHY he never said anything. Was Artoo trying to protect Luke by going along with Obi-Wan's lie about Darth Vader / Anakin Skywalker? Did Artoo know Luke and Leia were brother and sister? Did Anakin and Padme MAKE ARTOO WATCH?

Was Grogu deliberately kept secret from Anakin Skywalker by Jedi Masters like Yoda, Mace Windu, and Obi-Wan Kenobi? Could Mace Windu have actually survived the attack from Palpatine and Anakin? And why has Star Wars kept changing the mysterious backstory of YADDLE, the female Jedi Master of the same species as Yoda and Grogu?

Avengers Infinity War showed the death of Vision, a death that appeared to be permanent after Avengers Endgame, when Vision remained one of the few fallen Avengers who did not resurrect when Hulk snapped the victims of the Blip back into existence. But now that Vision appears to be returning in WandaVision, it brings up the question of Vision's soul and consciousness. As an android composed of many components -- the Mind Stone, JARVIS, uh... we honestly forget the others -- it's hard to pin down the true sentience and humanity of Vision in order to explain his possible return in Marvel's Phase 4. But in this episode of the Big Question, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold dive deep into the mystery of Vision's digital existence, and what real-world biology, metaphysics, and existentialist philosophy can tell us about about the nature of Vision's existence and soul.

But in what ways is WandaVision drawing on real-world conspiracy theories centered around the belief that our world is actually a simulated reality? Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold break down the components of the simulated reality conspiracy theory, and the four elements of WandaVision that directly parallel those beliefs. What is the history of existentialist philosophy that led to modern phenomena like The Mandela Effect, red-pilling, and YouTube rabbit holes?

The Mandalorian introduced us to the bounty hunter Din Djarin, who, long before becoming the caretaker to Baby Yoda, began as a Mandalorian foundling during the Clone Wars and worked odd jobs during the Galactic Civil War through to the fall of the Empire and the age of the New Republic. His clan of Mandalorians, including the Armorer and Paz Vizsla, strictly NEVER take their helmets off to reveal their faces, claiming "this is the way." But why is this the case, when the multitude of other Mandalorian characters we've met in Star Wars canon -- Bo Katan, Sabine Wren, Pre Vizsla, Dutchess Satine -- show their faces ALL THE TIME? And why hasn't the live-action Mandalorian series on Disney+ never explained this discrepancy, especially since Dave Filoni produces all of these series? In this episode of Big Question, Erik Voss and Joven team up once more to dive deep into the mystery of Mandalorian face-covering, specific to the live action Mandalorian series, and why Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau changed the rule for the Disney+ series.

The best fictional villains in history are given understandable motivations, so that we almost sympathize with their causes... before our moral outrage kicks in. Thanos, the Marvel big bad from Infinity War and Endgame, falls into that category, as a dogmatic ecoterrorist trying to "save" the universe by killing half of it, an extremist view that some devil's advocates have debated as, at the very least, well intentioned. Similarly, villains like Heath Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight and Killmonger in Black Panther have been reexamined over the years as populists speaking for the forgotten and the oppressed. In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and special guest Joven explore which supervillains are the most noble in their causes. Which of the movie supervillains that we've seen actually made the best arguments -- and in which ways are they all, proven by the broader message of their stories, flawed in their missions? And which single supervillain in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, had they been listened to, saved countless numbers from upcoming pain and suffering?

As #DCFanDome reveals Zack Snyder's vision for Justice League and Ben Affleck returning to play #Batman Bruce Wayne in the upcoming Flash movie, our episode of #BigQuestion explores one of the more controversial elements of this take on the Dark Knight and Man of Steel: the high death toll. Love it or hate it, these superheroes incur the very real consequences of collateral damage and loss of life. But rather than criticize or defend and move on, hosts Erik Voss and Zach Huddleston dive deep into the carnage to quantify the exact numbers of kills by each character, based on frame-by-frame analysis of the Batman v Superman fight scenes and real-world estimates of Man of Steel's destruction in the Battle of Metropolis. Which if Superman and Batman's kills are actually indirect and unfair to attribute to them? Did Superman kill hundreds of Kryptonian babies? How did Justice League change Affleck Batman's fighting style, and will that change in the Snyder Cut?

Avengers Endgame & Avengers Infinity War Doctor Strange's biggest mistakes explained! Thank you to Audible for sponsoring this episode. Go to http://audible.com/thesandman to listen now. As one of the most infinitely powered beings in the Marvel universe, with countless god-level magic spells and even exclusive access to the Time Stone for several years, Doctor Strange certainly could have done more to stop Thanos and help the other Avengers in Infinity War and Endgame, and prevent further madness in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. After our trial of the plot holes in Avengers Endgame, we now return with charges against Stephen Strange and his many mistakes and oversights. In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold ask and answer: Is Doctor Strange GUILTY OF NEGLIGENCE? Or even medical malpractice and violations of his hippocratic oath? Could Strange have put Thanos in a time loop with the Time Stone, or used a portal to cut off his arm? And what the hell is Strange going to do about Dormammu now without the Time Stone?

Marvel's Deadliest Villains Ranked! After our Avengers kill count episode, how do Marvel villains like Thanos, Loki, and Ego rank on the murder charts? Our Avengers Kill Count analysis revealed that Marvel heroes like Thor, Iron Man, Captain Marvel, and Hulk ranked among the deadliest across the Infinity Saga. But that begs the big question... how do those numbers compare to the bodies stacked up by Marvel's villains? Has Thanos truly killed the most, or is Ego the Living Planet from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2 actually deadlier? Who is the deadliest human villain on Earth? Has Hela or Loki killed more people? What about Red Skull vs Zemo? Obidiah Stane Iron Monger vs Ivan Vanko Whiplash? In this followup episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold turn to the baddies of the Marvel universe to rank them by their on-screen kill counts. How will future MCU villains like Doctor Doom, Taskmaster, The Mandarin (the real one), and Galactus rank in kill counts compared to these?

How the hell does the REVERSE TIME concept work in Christopher Nolan’s upcoming TENET? It might be the only movie we get to see in theaters for the rest of 2020, so let’s break it down! You can have Coors Light delivered by going to http://get.coorslight.com and finding local delivery options near you. Christopher Nolan, director of The Dark Knight, Inception, and Interstellar, has a new movie coming to theaters: TENET. Based on a few cryptic trailers, Tenet’s plot and inverted time visuals remain very mysterious, teasing little about the film’s many secrets. However, new details discovered hidden in trailer footage, and hinted at by cast and crew, have given us some basic physics concepts that underly the complex structure of the story. We did our homework, and hot-damn, we think we cracked the code! In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold answer your biggest questions about Tenet to save you time and mental energy for when you inevitably see this movie and confuse the hell out of yourselves. What is entropy, the laws of thermodynamics, and the thought experiment of Maxwell’s Demon… and how do they tie into the plot of Tenet? What global disaster are the characters in Tenet working to prevent? Why do characters in the film have to wear oxygen masks? Are the physics of Tenet possible in the real world?

Get Coors Light delivered by going to http://get.coorslight.com and finding local delivery options near you! Check out The Sandman only at http://audible.com/thesandman! Thor throwing Stormbreaker at Thanos’ chest — not his head or his arm — giving Thanos just enough time to snap the six Infinity Stones and kill half of all life, is widely considered one of the worst mistakes ever committed in the MCU. But what less noticeable mistake was even deadlier, even more unforgivable, and so idiotically hypocritical and shortsighted? In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Zach Huddleston rank the worst mistakes of Marvel’s Infinity Saga, including Tony Stark inventing Ultron, Star-Lord Peter Quill punching Thanos out of his trance, and Spider-Man handing over EDITH to Mysterio. Which mistakes in the MCU are understandable (and totally worth it), and which should make us judge characters more harshly? Which overlooked Marvel hero is actually the MOST TO BLAME for everything bad that happens in the MCU?

Do the Spider-Man MCU films share a spider-verse with the Sam Raimi movies, Venom, and Into the Spiderverse? The connections between the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Sam Raimi Spider-Man movies don’t stop at JK Simmons playing J Jonah Jameson in each universe — there are at least a dozen more Easter Eggs hidden throughout the Spider-Man and Spider-Man related films that web together ALL these films in one broader live-action universe. From Donald Glover cameos in Spider-Man Far From Home (2017), The Amazing Spider-Man (2012), and Spider-Man Into the Spider-verse (2018), to Bonesaw McGraw in Spider-Man (2002) and Spider-Man Far From Home (2019), to the insane ways Morbius (2021) will tie in Vulture from the MCU but the Daily Bugle from the Raimi films… it is all legitimately connected, and we’re gonna explain how. In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Zach Huddleston thwip together each of the corners of the the Web of Life and Destiny to explain how all Spider-Man films currently exist in a live-action Spiderverse. Are some connections a reach? Maybe, but that’s how all webs are formed!

In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold break down all the secret components to Mysterio’s weaponry in Far From Home and their even deadlier capabilities that could be applied in Marvel Phase 4 movies.

In this episode of #BigQuestion, join Filup Molina and Erik Voss as they discuss each Avengers Endgame plot hole — time travel, Pym Particles, Captain Marvel, the Blip, Old Steve Rogers, and more. Did Endgame do Black Widow dirty? Are Pym Particles lazily unexplained? Why can’t the writers and directors agree on how time travel works in the movie? Has the MCU ruined the Hulk as a character?

What long-lost secret twist have the Rick and Morty writers been keeping under wraps for the past four seasons? Rick and Morty Season 4 is back, promising more dark adventures for Rick Sanchez, Morty Smith, Jerry, Beth, Summer, Meeseeks, and the rest. But ever since Rick and Morty Season 1, the writers have hinted at a mysterious secret that they wanted to save for the Rick and Morty final episode... and that a random Redditor deciphered it! Still, they've refused to reveal what the twist was.

Avengers Infinity War and Avengers Endgame saw the dusting and resurrections of half of all life… but did the Avengers do us any favors by bringing us back to a crappy world? The MCU gave hints of life during the five-year Blip period in Avengers Endgame and Spider-Man Far From Home — a dark time, but one that society appeared to begin to move on from. So when Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, and the rest of the Avengers snapped everyone back into existence, what version of reality were they bringing them back into? Should they have been left blipped out of existence? In this episode of #BigQuestion, Filup Molina and Erik Voss explain the darkest consequences of a real-life society in which half of all life suddenly vanishes, but even worse, what would happen to that society if, five years later, everyone suddenly reappeared where they had vanished before. Would even more people die if they were brought back without notice like that? How would reversing the snap affect things like unemployment, housing, food shortages, crime, public health, and relationships? Are Bruce and Tony monsters for resurrecting everyone?

Now that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has expanded to regain the Fox-Marvel titles, which sides would the new Marvel heroes and villains who have joined the universe since fall on? In this episode of #BigQuestion, Erik Voss and Tommy Bechtold tackle the new Civil War draft for Marvel Phase 4 and beyond, sorting the sidelined characters from the 2016 Civil War film into Team Cap, Team Iron Man, or neutral. Would Deadpool join Team Iron Man to suck-up his way into the Avengers? Would Matt Murdock Daredevil and She-Hulk end up on opposite sides of the Civil War?

Should Tony Stark get arrested for endangering a minor like Peter Parker? Or even worse -- for the slaughter of thousands in Avengers Endgame? The superheroes of Marvel and DC have stretched the definition of vigilante justice in ways that, if applied in the real world, would certainly put them behind bars. And not just infamously violent vigilantes like The Punisher Frank Castle or Daredevil Matt Murdock -- the "nice guys" like Tony Stark, Peter Parker, Bruce Wayne, and Clark Kent have blood on their hands. In this episode of #BigQuestion, Filup Molina and Erik Voss explain the legal ramifications of the superheroic actions, and how messed up these moves would be considered in the real-life justice system.
