A quick four-word plot question to kick us off today. Which Marvel movie is this? Anger turns man green.

Oh, I think that's The Incredible Hulk?

Correct.

Welcome to Kids vs. Parents. I'm Lovella.

And I'm Steve.

If this is your first time listening, welcome to Kids vs. Parents.

And this is a trivia battle against the kids and the parents.

That's right.

Kids versus parents is four tough questions for the parents,

four easier questions for the kids, all based around the same topic.

And today, what are we playing today, Lovella?

Guess the plot.

Dad, do you want to explain the game?

Sure.

Guess the plot.

We're going to give each other four cryptic clues

that lead to a plot of a movie or a book.

And we have to try and guess what that is using only four words.

And today we have had this topic requested a lot, which is the Marvel movies or Marvel.

So we've decided to do a guess the plot on Marvel because there's so many movies, right, Lovella?

Sure.

How many of these Marvel movies have you seen?

Zero.

Zero.

You're not a Marvel expert at all, right?

No, I only know Spider-Man.

All right.

So you don't really know much about Marvel.

No, I don't.

Which is why I invited a guest to help me out and basically answer all the questions for me.

Okay.

I'm going to lose.

Yep.

You have brought a Marvel expert, haven't you?

She doesn't like to be called an expert.

Okay.

Why don't you introduce who you've got there?

Okay.

I have here my cousin, Ever.

Hi.

Thank you for having me.

Welcome, Ever.

Are you excited to be here?

I am.

A little nervous.

A little nervous?

Yeah.

Because it's such a big subject?

Big topic.

Yeah.

All right.

Well, we're going to do our best.

I was into Marvel movies early on when they were starting to come out in the 2000s.

haven't really watched anything in the last decade or so.

So I don't know how well I'll do on this either ever.

So we're kind of both in a similar boat here.

Okay.

All right.

So our theme today is Marvel movies and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, right?

So I had to research this because I was curious what was in this.

And the X-Men movies aren't in Marvel Cinematic Universe.

That's correct, right?

No.

Yeah.

So it's not X-Men movies.

It's all the other stuff.

Yeah.

Cool.

All right, who's going to go first today, Lovella?

I'd like you to choose who goes first.

Would you like the parents to answer first or the kids to answer first?

Let's do the parents.

Parents answer first?

Yeah.

You want to see how well I do and then see if you can just beat me by one.

See what the competition looks like.

Right, okay.

All right, I will be answering first then, parents.

Get your Marvel knowledge ready and let's do this.

All right.

Plot number one.

Genius captive builds suit.

Genius captive builds suit.

Okay, genius builds suit, that's Iron Man.

Now, the question is, is it Iron Man 1, 2, 3, is there a 4?

I don't know if there's a 4.

I know there's a 1, 2, and a 3, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

I got that right.

Okay.

So is it 1, 2, or 3?

I am going to guess.

Sorry, could you give me the four words again?

Genius captive builds suit.

Okay.

He builds the suit.

That's in 1.

He doesn't build the suit in 2 or 3.

So I'm going to say Iron Man 1 or Iron Man.

Iron Man 1 is correct.

Yes.

Nice.

All right.

Cool.

I'll take it.

One for me.

All right.

Plot number two.

Artificial intelligence rejects humanity.

Artificial intelligence rejects humanity.

Oh, man.

This is hard for me.

I don't even know what, like, hero this would be.

Artificial intelligence.

What movie has artificial intelligence?

This has got to be one from the latest movies.

I feel like this plot isn't familiar to me.

It's not the Avengers.

It's not going to be any of the Avengers.

Is it Ant-Man?

That's a funny Marvel movie.

Okay.

I don't know the answer.

Girls, give me the answer.

Avengers Age of Ultron.

Okay.

So it was an Avengers movie.

Okay.

And that's all about artificial.

I see.

I haven't seen that one.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's all about artificial intelligence.

Yeah.

Like there's an AI villain.

Yeah.

Okay.

Right.

Got it.

Is it kind of like what's happening now in the age of AI?

Is the AI villain coming down and generating, you know,

AI slop along the world?

No, not quite.

Not quite?

Not quite.

Not quite like that?

No.

Okay.

All right.

Well, I got that one wrong.

That's okay.

Let's move on to plot number three.

Plot number three.

Misfits unite.

Save galaxy.

soon okay i know this one it's gonna be guardians of the galaxy they're all misfits now which

guardians of the galaxy because there are again three or four of these movies too and i'm gonna

to be honest with you, although I live 30 minutes down the road from Disneyland and

I've been there a lot and ridden the Guardians of the Galaxy ride many, many times, I have

never seen the Guardians of the Galaxy movies.

I thought you have.

No, I haven't because I've been wanting to watch them with you and you keep saying no,

you don't want to watch them.

They're really good.

You should watch them.

So I'm going to guess, well, I don't actually know the names of the other ones.

I know there is a Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3, which means there's obviously a Volume 2 and a Volume 1.

I'm going to guess Guardians of the Galaxy 1.

Correct.

Yes.

All right.

Nice.

Okay.

Two.

I've got two.

Yeah.

Two out of four.

Two out of four.

All right.

Give me the last one.

Yep.

All right.

Plot number four.

Spy confront stolen childhood.

Spy confronts stolen childhood. What could this be? It's a recent one. Is it? Yeah. Okay. It's a

recent one um spy okay what are the spy movies oh boy I am I really don't know is it going to be an

Avengers one that's the only recent ones I can think of no I don't know I have no idea I really

have no idea Lovella do you have any idea yeah I do because I know the answer yeah okay the correct

answer was Black Widow oh yes right who plays Black Widow is that Scarlett Johansson yes Scarlett

Johansson. I have not seen that movie. Wouldn't know what it's about, but I guess it's about

spies. Cool. Now I know four words to that plot. But yeah. All right. Well, I was two

out of four. Still not bad. Not too bad. I'll take it. Let's see how you guys go. How are

you feeling about your movie knowledge on Marvel, guys? I have no knowledge. It's all

up to ever. Okay. You're just going to defer to her every time? I'm feeling kind of rusty,

to be honest. When was the last time you watched a Marvel movie? Like weeks ago, months ago?

Oh, are you?

Oh, really?

That long ago?

Yeah.

Okay, so let's test it out then.

Okay, here we go, kids.

It's your turn.

Plot number one.

Thunder Prince loses power.

Okay.

Thunder Prince gives me Thor.

Yeah.

But there's four Thor movies now.

Okay.

But in the first one, he loses his power.

He's banished to Earth.

He has to figure out how to come back.

Okay.

So I'm going to say it's Thor.

I think it's just called Thor.

Thor.

The original Thor.

One, Thor.

You are correct.

Thor.

Yay!

Yeah, well done.

From 2011.

Well done.

Wow.

That's one on the board.

Well done.

All right.

Plot number two.

Soldier returns with secrets.

Okay.

Soldier gives me Captain America.

Do you agree, Lovella?

Yeah, I'm confident.

Which there are three of.

What was it?

Soldier returns with secrets.

Okay.

I'm going to say it's Captain America, the Winter Soldier, because soldiers in the name,

but also a soldier returns with secrets.

Right?

Yes.

That's what happens in that movie?

Yeah.

Okay.

I haven't seen this movie, but yes, you are correct.

Yay.

Captain America, the Winter Soldier.

Well done.

All right.

Let's go with plot number three.

You're tied with me now, so you've got to get both of these wrong, which is a pretty small

chance of that happening.

Here we go.

Plot number three.

Loki attacks Earth first.

I've heard the name Loki.

Who's Loki?

Lovella?

I don't know.

Have you seen him at Disneyland?

I've just heard Loki.

Is he a good guy or a bad guy?

I don't know.

Is Loki the one who's got like the hair and the green suit?

Yes.

Oh, let's go.

I know something.

There you go.

Yeah.

All right.

So Loki attacks Earth first.

He sounds like a villain.

Yeah.

So Loki is Thor's brother.

Just a little fact.

Just a little fact.

A little fact for you there.

Yeah.

For future.

And.

So Loki attacks Earth first.

First.

Okay.

That's throwing.

That's throwing you?

That throws me off just a little bit.

Okay.

But I'm just going to say it's Avengers.

Because Loki comes and attacks New York.

Yeah.

And all the Avengers have to come together to fight.

Okay.

You are correct.

Yes.

The Avengers.

I was worried.

You are correct.

The Avengers.

Yes.

So Loki attacks first because he actually attacks in other movies, right?

He appears in other Avengers movies or other, actually not Avengers movies.

He appears in other Marvel movies like Thor.

And so this was to differentiate that it's the first time you see him.

Okay.

Yeah.

So well done.

And it worked.

You got that correct.

Mm-hmm.

Nice.

All right.

You're in front of me.

Here we go.

Last plot.

You're going for a clean sweep here.

Mm-hmm.

So you were nervous about this.

I was.

But you're ready to just sweep the board.

Here we go.

Plot number four.

Multiverse brings Spider-Men.

It's Spider-Man!

Spider-Man?

Is that your answer?

No, no, no, no.

But I know it is Spider-Man.

Well, is it?

Multiverse brings Spider-Men.

Wait.

Can it be a cartoon movie?

No.

No, I don't think they're part of it.

I know what you're thinking.

Yeah, I watched a Spider-Man movie about a multiverse bringing multiple Spider-Men.

Oh, have you?

Yeah.

Okay, but that's not part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I don't think.

No, no.

But it might help.

You might be close.

I don't know.

Maybe.

Ever?

Okay, well, I'm going to say it's one of the Spider-Man movies.

Right.

And I'm going to say it's Spider-Man No Way Home because in it

This is this iconic scene that everybody memes?

Yes.

Everyone was waiting for this moment.

Everyone was hoping it was going to happen where Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire and

Tom Holland all appeared on screen at once, all as their different Spider-Mans.

Yes.

So Spider-Man No Way Home.

You are correct.

Of course you're correct.

Well done.

Nice one.

You clean sweeped it.

I did.

Well done.

Thank you.

Nice.

We've only had a few clean sweeps, right?

Lovella, I think you clean sweeped Taylor Swift.

Oh, I bet.

Well done.

Thank you.

Excellent.

All right.

Well, we have our bonus question now for our tiebreaker.

It's not a tiebreaker for us, but in your car, it might be a tiebreaker question and you can

use it as a tiebreaker.

Otherwise, it's worth bonus points.

So we usually say it's worth double.

So two points, which would make it a tie if I get it.

Otherwise, you guys are going for the win.

All right.

So I don't know the answer to this one.

Mama's given us a tiebreaker question.

So we'll see who gets this first.

So buzz in.

First person to, you can just say the word buzz or say your name.

But if you do answer incorrectly, the other person immediately gets the points.

That's the rule I'm adding for you guys.

So you can't just buzz in and answer anything you want.

Okay.

Here we go.

Bonus plot.

Thief Becomes Tiny Hero

Buzz

Buzz?

Yes

Buzz

Does it have something to do with Guardians?

No

No

No I think I know

You got me first

Yeah

You go ahead

I think we actually mentioned it earlier

And Tiny kind of gives it away for me

Yeah

I'm going to say it's Ant-Man

Yep

That's what I think too

But you beat me to it

Let me scroll down and see

Yep, you are correct.

Ant-Man.

Well done.

Nice work.

That was close.

All right.

Well done.

You got everything right.

I don't know what you're nervous about.

Ever, you smashed it.

Lovella, you need to research your Marvel movies for next time you do this.

Yeah, I can.

Yeah, I should.

Yeah?

Ever, what would you recommend for anybody who hasn't watched a Marvel movie?

Oh.

What should they watch first?

I think you should start with Iron Man.

Iron Man?

Yeah.

One of the originals?

Yeah.

That's a good one.

Or the first Captain America.

Okay.

There we go.

There's some recommendation if you haven't done any Marvel movies, Lovella.

and start with one of those maybe.

I'll gladly watch one of those with you.

I bet.

All right.
