| 0:00.0 | We continue our more detailed look at Marvel Superhero Island in another focus on Islands |
| 0:04.5 | of Adventure episode on episode 312 of the unofficial Universal Orlando podcast. |
| 0:27.6 | Hey everyone, I'm your host Lee and I am just here to steer the ship tonight because we do have a full crew. So joining me is Tracy. |
| 0:29.6 | Hello everyone. |
| 0:30.6 | And Chris. |
| 0:31.6 | What's up guys? |
| 0:33.6 | And welcome back, Darren. |
| 0:34.6 | What's up, Internet? |
| 0:35.6 | Hello, hello. And also joining us from our last Marvel Superhero Island episode. It is Charles, sorry, Darrell Exeter. Hey, guys, thank you for having me back. Hey, Daryl, you're more than welcome. Good to see you. I'll hear you again. Right, so let's get into it. So, Darren, as you weren't with us last time, I wanted to give you an opportunity to sort of discuss on your own. |

But for the most part, those were the, you know, the characters I knew them as was marble. Now, as time has has gone on I see those as kind of outdated the way that the theming is you know just kind of like a cardboard |
