EP.123 Post Decepte-Con Catch Up – A Review of Comic-Con 2026 News
There are two kinds of Comic‑Con recaps. The first is a tidy little rundown of panels, cosplay, merch, and celebrity sightings. The second is whatever Ken and Pat delivered to Kareem the moment he logged on for this week’s episode of Tangential Giants.
Kareem missed their panel on the end of billionaire heroes in comics, so naturally he expected a straightforward summary. Instead, he got a victory lap, a confession, and a mild indictment. Pat swears the panel was a masterclass. Ken swears they were one tangent away from being escorted out. The truth, as usual, lives somewhere in the overlap.
Once the panel talk wraps, the trio immediately swerves into the kind of pop‑culture rabbit hole that should probably require a permit. They attempt to answer the eternal question: why do Transformers transform? Not in the lore sense, but in the “who decided turning into a semi‑truck was the optimal tactical choice” sense.
Then comes the debate over whether “Decepticons” is a name that has aged like milk. If your brand identity hinges on announcing you’re deceptive, maybe it’s time for a refresh.
And because no Tangential Giants episode is complete without a cinematic universe pitch that would make studio executives sweat, the guys try to fuse G.I. Joe, Transformers, and Fast and Furious into one mega‑franchise. The result is part fever dream, part marketing deck, and part international incident.
It’s a post‑Comic‑Con catch‑up that mutates into a dissertation on toy‑based geopolitics, automotive philosophy, and franchise physics. In other words, a normal week.
