Alfred Pennyworth vs Edwin Jarvis

1 00:00:00,930 --> 00:00:06,572 This is a Dynamike Network podcast. Hey Marvelous Joe here! This year's holiday charity drive 2 00:00:06,612 --> 00:00:11,356 is now officially over, wherein we collected donations from listeners for Pop Culture Classroom, 3 00:00:11,436 --> 00:00:15,859 a non-profit organization that delivers educational resources to school districts, teachers, and 4 00:00:15,879 --> 00:00:20,823 community organizations using pop culture media. Thanks to all of the generous donors who gave 5 00:00:20,864 --> 00:00:25,387 to support the organization's mission to inspire a love of learning and build community through 6 00:00:25,407 --> 00:00:30,131 the tools of popular culture and the power of self-expression. The drive was a competitive 7 00:00:30,171 --> 00:00:35,411 fundraiser this year, with the only stat being which side? Marvel fans or DC fans can donate 8 00:00:35,451 --> 00:00:39,914 the most. Everyone who donated received a digital poster featuring original art of Alfred and 9 00:00:39,934 --> 00:00:45,598 Jarvis drawn New Yorker style by Johnny DC and one lucky random donor will win a framed print 10 00:00:45,638 --> 00:00:51,883 of the Alfred versus Jarvis art which we're happy to announce will be going to Andrew Shunk. 11 00:00:52,283 --> 00:00:56,886 Thanks so much Andrew will be in touch to deliver the print the frame of which was generously 12 00:00:56,966 --> 00:01:02,350 handcrafted by one of our very own listeners Nathaniel Wagner. How cool is that? As for 13 00:01:02,390 --> 00:01:07,434 which fanbase is the most charitable, well the winner of this year's charity fundraiser, the 14 00:01:07,474 --> 00:01:14,199 site that donated the most is... Team DC. Although Marvel had an early head start, DC fans came 15 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,583 back in the end to donate a total of 10 more dollars than the Marvel side, bringing the 16 00:01:18,623 --> 00:01:25,028 total donation to just under 100 dollars. I guess DC really does stand for dang charitable. 17 00:01:25,188 --> 00:01:30,773 Good job guys, we're super proud of everyone who gave, you are what the entire season is 18 00:01:30,813 --> 00:01:33,965 all about. Happy holidays everyone, and on with the show. 19 00:01:54,254 --> 00:01:58,315 Hi and welcome to the Dynamic Duel Podcast, a weekly show where we review superhero films 20 00:01:58,535 --> 00:02:03,196 and debate the superiority between Marvel and DC by comparing their characters in stat-based 21 00:02:03,276 --> 00:02:09,758 battle simulations. I'm Marvelous Joe. And I'm his twin brother, Johnny DC. And in this episode, 22 00:02:09,958 --> 00:02:14,419 our annual holiday charity duel episode, we are going to find out who'd win in a fight 23 00:02:14,739 --> 00:02:21,181 between Alfred Pennyworth versus Edwin Jarvis. Now most years we do a charity duel between 24 00:02:21,241 --> 00:02:26,775 two like animal or pet. characters between Marvel and DC. Like in the past, we've done Crypto 25 00:02:26,795 --> 00:02:32,198 the Superdog versus Throg. We've done Howard the Duck versus Detective Chimp. Last year, 26 00:02:32,258 --> 00:02:37,301 we did Cosmo the Space Dog versus Dexter, the Red Lantern. But this year, it's going to be 27 00:02:37,401 --> 00:02:41,844 the two butler characters from Marvel and DC. Alfred Pennyworth, of course, everyone knows 28 00:02:41,904 --> 00:02:46,566 him from the Batman comics. Jarvis, I think a lot of people know more from the Iron Man 29 00:02:46,586 --> 00:02:52,289 movies as an artificial intelligence. But in the comics, Jarvis is the Avengers butler. 30 00:02:52,746 --> 00:02:56,567 He's a human being, even though there is an artificial intelligence to Jarvis as well. 31 00:02:57,287 --> 00:03:01,448 But we'll get into that as I go into Jarvis's backstory. Before that duel, we're going to 32 00:03:01,468 --> 00:03:05,109 break down the latest comic book movie news to come out this past week, of which there 33 00:03:05,149 --> 00:03:10,150 has been none because Jonathan and I are recording this episode super early due to the upcoming 34 00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:15,552 holiday festivities we have in our family. So this episode is being recorded early. And of 35 00:03:15,592 --> 00:03:18,893 course, we're probably going to get some huge news that's going to drop later on this week 36 00:03:18,913 --> 00:03:23,555 that we'll have to report on in our following episode. Oh no doubt, yeah, always happens. 37 00:03:24,095 --> 00:03:29,520 So no news, but we will be asking a question of the week. As always, we list our segment 38 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,223 times in our episode description, so feel free to check out the show notes if you want to 39 00:03:33,263 --> 00:03:38,988 skip ahead to a particular section.

A No Prize is an award Marvel used to 64 00:06:18,936 --> 00:06:25,258 give out to fans. Our version, the Dynamic Dual No Prize, is a digital award we post on Instagram 65 00:06:25,478 --> 00:06:30,500 and in our email newsletter for the person that we feel gave the best answer to our question 66 00:06:30,540 --> 00:06:36,262 of the week. Last week we asked what other actor from Guardians of the Galaxy would you like 67 00:06:36,282 --> 00:06:42,764 to see cast in the DC Universe and in what role? And this is coming off of the news that Sean 68 00:06:42,804 --> 00:06:48,626 Gunn has been cast as Maxwell Lord in his brother James Gunn's DC Universe. Right, Sean Gunn 69 00:06:48,666 --> 00:06:53,910 being the actor who did the mocap for Rocket Raccoon, and he also played Kraglin in Guardians 70 00:06:53,930 --> 00:06:58,214 of the Galaxy. We got a lot of answers for this week's No Prize, which is surprising because 71 00:06:58,334 --> 00:07:02,818 there was only a two-day turnaround time. So thanks to everyone who answered. Let's go ahead 72 00:07:02,838 --> 00:07:06,861 and break down the honorable mentions as well as the No Prize winner. Our first honorable 73 00:07:06,901 --> 00:07:12,906 mention goes to Brandon Estergard, who said, Hey guys, I would cast Zoe Saldana as Star 74 00:07:12,966 --> 00:07:17,882 Sapphire in James Gunn's universe. The Lantern series is supposed to play as like a based 75 00:07:17,962 --> 00:07:22,403 on a Technomorph story and definitely think that Star Sapphire would play the femme fatale 76 00:07:22,423 --> 00:07:27,064 in that story. And casting Zoe Saldana would definitely add to the hype of the show, which 77 00:07:27,605 --> 00:07:32,666 arguably is the one that everybody's looking forward to the most. Yeah, of course, Zoe Saldana 78 00:07:32,726 --> 00:07:38,808 played Gamora in the Guardians of the Galaxy films. Star Sapphire is an enemy but also romantic 79 00:07:38,908 --> 00:07:45,151 interest for Hal Jordan, the Green Lantern. She is essentially a purple lantern as it were 80 00:07:45,331 --> 00:07:51,055 a member of the star sapphire core who harnessed the power of love. The star sapphire costumes 81 00:07:51,075 --> 00:07:58,440 can get pretty risque and so I am approving this Zoe Saldana casting choice. I'm sure they 82 00:07:58,460 --> 00:08:03,924 wouldn't be as risque in a live action version but yet so there's going to be a lanterns television 83 00:08:03,945 --> 00:08:09,368 show that comes out on max I believe that James Gunn is setting up so if Zoe Saldana was star 84 00:08:09,388 --> 00:08:14,312 sapphire she would appear in that show, which is rumored to be a kind of true detective space 85 00:08:14,332 --> 00:08:20,097 cop esque Green Lantern show. Right. And of course, we've seen the character of Star Sapphire 86 00:08:20,197 --> 00:08:25,260 or rather her alter ego, Carol Ferris in the Green Lantern movie that starred Ryan Reynolds. 87 00:08:25,641 --> 00:08:30,965 Now, I don't know if Zoe Zaldana would actually take on the role for a TV show. I could be 88 00:08:30,985 --> 00:08:36,689 wrong. She technically is like the actress with the highest grossing box office record of all 89 00:08:36,749 --> 00:08:42,676 time. Yeah, between Avengers Infinity War and Endgame and the Avatar films. Right. Exactly. 90 00:08:43,116 --> 00:08:48,498 She knows how to sell some tickets. Great answer, Brandon. Our next honorable mention goes to 91 00:08:48,918 --> 00:08:55,161 Nate Mantineo, who said, The dynamic tool, it's Nate here. And I would cast Dave Bautista as 92 00:08:55,221 --> 00:09:00,483 being in the DC universe. As you know, he's played Jax and Guardians of the Galaxy. And 93 00:09:00,563 --> 00:09:06,365 I think he's fit and has the great voice for being. Also, it could just be Mocap or just 94 00:09:06,425 --> 00:09:11,681 a voice to. anything would really work. Dude, we've been saying for years, I think we were 95 00:09:11,701 --> 00:09:15,724 the very first ones in the history of existence to say that Dave Bautista should play Bane, 96 00:09:16,064 --> 00:09:19,487 right? I don't think that's true. Like years ago on this podcast, I think we told everyone 97 00:09:19,507 --> 00:09:23,309 to tweet out like hashtag Bautista for Bane and like get it trending or something. It never 98 00:09:23,369 --> 00:09:28,313 did, obviously, but I think we just put it out into the universe first. I want to claim credit 99 00:09:28,353 --> 00:09:35,010 for it. I mean, Dave Bautista is now like in his mid 50s, but I don't give a crap. He still 100 00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:40,493 should play Bane because the guy is still fairly ripped and he's a decent actor. I think he 101 00:09:40,513 --> 00:09:45,876 could definitely bring both the muscle and the intelligence to play the character well. Yeah, 102 00:09:45,896 --> 00:09:49,858 Nate wasn't the only one to give this answer. Scott Camacho also said Batista should play 103 00:09:49,918 --> 00:09:58,122 Bane. So great answer guys. Our final honorable mention goes to CJ Kraft who said, Hey guys, 104 00:09:58,383 --> 00:10:04,826 CJ Kraft here. I think I like to see James Gunn cast Dave Batista as Detective Chimp. His loud, 105 00:10:04,866 --> 00:10:10,168 booming voice coming from a character of such a small stature and smoking a corn cow pie 106 00:10:10,208 --> 00:10:15,851 just seems hilarious to me. And you know what? If Batista can't be Bane, why not Detective 107 00:10:15,891 --> 00:10:20,233 Chimp? He could totally pull off his simian voice. Yeah, I always imagined Detective Chimp 108 00:10:20,253 --> 00:10:25,976 having a British voice, but Batista definitely has the deep voice that I think Detective Chimp 109 00:10:25,996 --> 00:10:31,491 should have. Yeah, just have Batista do a British accent. Why not? This was the perfect out of 110 00:10:31,531 --> 00:10:35,955 left field answer that I was looking for, so thanks CJ Craft. We want to give a big shout 111 00:10:35,995 --> 00:10:40,419 out to Andrew Shunk for also taking the time to visit our website and leave us a voicemail 112 00:10:40,439 --> 00:10:47,005 for this week's question, but the winner of the No Prize is Miggy Matagian, who said, Hey 113 00:10:47,025 --> 00:10:52,029 what's up guys, this is Miggy and I would cast Michael Rooker as Bibo Bogowski in Superman 114 00:10:52,942 --> 00:10:58,346 Thanks guys. So of course Michael Rooker played Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy and he also 115 00:10:58,386 --> 00:11:04,630 played Savant in the Suicide Squad. I think he was a terrible choice for Savant in the 116 00:11:04,671 --> 00:11:10,015 comics, the Birds of Prey comics. Savant is this like young pretty boy and Michael Rooker 117 00:11:10,075 --> 00:11:17,320 is anything but. In the comics, Bilbo Babowski is like this drunken sailor type dude that 118 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:23,480 is friends with Superman. And I think Michael Rooker definitely has the aesthetics and the 119 00:11:23,580 --> 00:11:29,324 charm to pull off such a sweet-natured character that is a part of Superman's cast of characters. 120 00:11:29,865 --> 00:11:33,888 And plus, Bibo has such a different look from Savant, I think you could easily pull off casting 121 00:11:33,908 --> 00:11:38,271 the same actor having the two look entirely different just through makeup and everything 122 00:11:38,291 --> 00:11:42,453 like that. Not that Savant's coming back because, of course, he died in the Suicide Squad movie. 123 00:11:42,974 --> 00:11:47,036 I chose this answer as the no prize winner because this is one that I actually hope we get to 124 00:11:47,097 --> 00:11:51,880 see as soon as Superman Legacy. So congrats to Miggy for winning this week's no prize. 125 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,443 If you the listener want a shot at winning your own no prize, stay tuned to later on this episode 126 00:11:55,463 --> 00:12:00,766 when we'll be asking another question of the week. And now that that's done, onto the news! 127 00:12:01,307 --> 00:12:04,449 Wait, nevermind. Onto the question of the week! 128 00:12:08,990 --> 00:12:13,852 Alright, again, there's no news this episode, but we wanted to ask all of you, what has been 129 00:12:13,892 --> 00:12:20,235 your most favorite Marvel or DC related gift that you've received for the holidays? Yeah, 130 00:12:20,255 --> 00:12:25,017 this will be the last episode that comes out prior to the Christmas holiday, because our 131 00:12:25,097 --> 00:12:30,119 Aquaman review is coming out one day after Christmas on the 26th, so we thought we'd get a festive 132 00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:34,121 question in here and see what Marvel and DC stuff you guys have received in the past that 133 00:12:34,141 --> 00:12:38,481 you enjoyed the most. Record your answer at dynamicduel.com by clicking on the red microphone 134 00:12:38,521 --> 00:12:41,904 button in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, which will prompt you to leave us a 135 00:12:41,964 --> 00:12:46,469 voicemail. Your message could be up to 30 seconds long, and don't forget to leave your name in 136 00:12:46,489 --> 00:12:50,754 case we include you on the podcast. We'll pick our favorite answer and award that person a 137 00:12:50,794 --> 00:12:55,939 Dynamic Duel No Prize that we'll post to Instagram and our email newsletter. Be sure to answer 138 00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:57,641 before December 21st. 139 00:13:04,802 --> 00:13:08,364 So with the no prize and the question of the week out of the way, let's go ahead and move 140 00:13:08,424 --> 00:13:14,328 on to the main event of this episode, our annual holiday charity duel between Alfred Pennyworth 141 00:13:14,708 --> 00:13:16,009 and Edwin Jarvis. 142 00:13:31,118 --> 00:13:35,379 All right, Alfred Pennyworth versus Edwin Jarvis. Of course, as I mentioned earlier, these are 143 00:13:35,419 --> 00:13:41,780 the two Butler characters from Marvel and DC. They're not typically fighters, either of them, 144 00:13:41,981 --> 00:13:47,962 as we commonly know them. Speak for yourself, speak for yourself. But that's kind of why 145 00:13:47,982 --> 00:13:52,683 we thought this would be a fun and interesting duel, putting these two man servants against 146 00:13:52,703 --> 00:13:57,145 each other. I guess you could kind of say that this is a tie-in to last episode too, when 147 00:13:57,165 --> 00:14:03,259 we did a review of Merry Little Batman. Alfred Pennyworth in that film was voiced by James 148 00:14:03,299 --> 00:14:07,582 Cromwell. But of course there's been a number of actors to portray the character including 149 00:14:07,742 --> 00:14:13,905 Michael Kane, Andy Serkis, and Jack Brennan played the character in his very own television 150 00:14:13,965 --> 00:14:21,149 series. Has freaking Jarvis had his own television series? Nope. Kinda. I mean he played the secondary 151 00:14:21,189 --> 00:14:26,112 role in the Agent Carter television series back when that was out. Jarvis was played by James 152 00:14:26,172 --> 00:14:31,714 Darcy and he was Howard Stark's butler. So that was a nice little easter egg for fans who mainly 153 00:14:31,734 --> 00:14:37,756 knew the character as an AI voiced by Paul Bettany in the Iron Man movies. I did not know he was 154 00:14:37,776 --> 00:14:42,438 in that show. Yeah. Yeah, he was hilarious. He was great. He was kind of like thrown into 155 00:14:42,478 --> 00:14:47,859 the mix of this spy espionage stuff. It actually sounds pretty cool. It was cool. It should 156 00:14:47,879 --> 00:14:52,261 be an interesting matchup if anything, but to explain the methodology behind our duels, let's 157 00:14:52,281 --> 00:14:58,186 go to our sentient duel simulator Alfred Jarvis 9000. AJ9K, tell our listeners how you go about 158 00:14:58,246 --> 00:15:03,829 determining a winner in our dual matchups. Yes, of course, sir. The way I determine a winner 159 00:15:03,869 --> 00:15:08,431 between the contestants is by running 1,000 Monte Carlo simulations using the characters' 160 00:15:08,451 --> 00:15:14,033 statistics. A Monte Carlo simulation is a probabilistic model used to determine outcomes through random 161 00:15:14,093 --> 00:15:19,935 sampling. In this case, I randomize the statistics along a normal distribution as a way to simulate 162 00:15:19,955 --> 00:15:24,537 the many variables that can occur during battle. The stat parameters are based on the official 163 00:15:24,597 --> 00:15:29,893 Marvel power grid. from which the DC characters' statistics are extrapolated. Additional stat 164 00:15:29,933 --> 00:15:35,237 categories are included, such as range, damage potential, versatility, and perception, in 165 00:15:35,297 --> 00:15:40,521 order to create a more detailed and accurate simulation. The results of the 1,000 simulations 166 00:15:40,581 --> 00:15:44,905 provide a percentage of wins for each character. The contestant with the higher percentage is 167 00:15:44,945 --> 00:15:50,611 declared the victor. as they have a higher probability to win any given battle. In an equitable pairing, 168 00:15:50,991 --> 00:15:55,793 neither character should win 100% of the matches. The comic book stories have shown that there's 169 00:15:55,934 --> 00:16:00,756 even a way for Batman to defeat Superman, so the confidence rate of my method falls in line 170 00:16:00,776 --> 00:16:05,357 with the precedents that have been established in the source material. My mathematical simulations 171 00:16:05,397 --> 00:16:10,560 are without subjectivity or bias. Feats are not the sole consideration, nor are fan votes 172 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:17,038 tabulated for determination of the winner. Thanks, Ajay9k! Before we run the simulations though, 173 00:16:17,058 --> 00:16:22,281 we like to break down each character's histories and abilities before improvising a scenario 174 00:16:22,581 --> 00:16:29,885 on how we imagine one of the 1000 simulations would play out beat for beat. And it's been 175 00:16:29,925 --> 00:16:34,468 a while since we've done a duel, holy crap, almost a month now. But I believe it is my 176 00:16:34,508 --> 00:16:37,990 turn to go first with the Marvel characters' backstory, so let me go ahead and tell you 177 00:16:38,070 --> 00:16:44,313 all about Edwin Jarvis. Edwin Jarvis was born to a modest upbringing in Brooklyn, New York 178 00:16:44,393 --> 00:16:49,927 in the mid- 20th century. As a teen, he ran away from home to join the Royal Air Force 179 00:16:50,107 --> 00:16:55,748 and served for Britain as a secretly underage pilot. During his time spent among the Queen's 180 00:16:55,788 --> 00:17:00,890 military, he trained in boxing and was the Air Force's champion boxer three years running, 181 00:17:01,250 --> 00:17:05,611 though he also picked up the finer points of being a gentleman as well as an upper British 182 00:17:05,651 --> 00:17:11,233 class accent. Upon his return home to New York, he gained employment as a manservant for Howard 183 00:17:11,313 --> 00:17:16,387 and Maria Stark, the parents of Tony Stark. Jarvis continued running the mansion after 184 00:17:16,407 --> 00:17:20,971 their deaths, at which point he moved into the employ of Tony Stark, who is secretly the hero 185 00:17:21,151 --> 00:17:26,636 Iron Man, whom you can learn more about in our Cyborg vs Iron Man duel episode. Early in Iron 186 00:17:26,656 --> 00:17:31,760 Man's career, he helped form a team of superheroes called the Avengers, whom you can learn more 187 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:35,923 about in their team duel against the Justice League. When the team needed a headquarters, 188 00:17:36,304 --> 00:17:41,628 Iron Man donated the Stark Mansion, renaming it the Avengers Mansion, and Jarvis then found 189 00:17:41,668 --> 00:17:46,628 himself waiting on superheroes the likes of Thor, Captain America, and Ant-Man and the 190 00:17:46,648 --> 00:17:51,952 Wasp, as well as the team's ever-revolving raw strip characters. Despite the changing Avengers 191 00:17:51,972 --> 00:17:57,136 members over the years, Jarvis was the one constant of the team, performing household duties and 192 00:17:57,176 --> 00:18:02,800 preparing the Avengers meals through every iteration, eventually regarded as an Avenger himself. 193 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,884 Aside from his service to the team, he was also embroiled in several of their adventures, such 194 00:18:07,924 --> 00:18:12,502 as when the villain Ultron hypnotized Jarvis into believing he was the villain called the 195 00:18:12,522 --> 00:18:17,564 Crimson Cowl and handing over the blueprints to the Avengers Mansion. Though initially shocked 196 00:18:17,644 --> 00:18:23,545 at Jarvis' apparent betrayal, the Avengers were able to defeat Ultron and restore Jarvis' identity 197 00:18:23,725 --> 00:18:29,427 and reputation. You can learn more about Ultron in his duel against Brainiac. Jarvis even had 198 00:18:29,447 --> 00:18:34,089 some of his own small scale adventures like when he stood up to and fought a local robber 199 00:18:34,149 --> 00:18:38,506 who called himself the Bruiser and drove him out of the neighborhood. The Masters of Evil 200 00:18:38,546 --> 00:18:43,247 supervillain team once captured and tortured Jarvis during an attack on the mansion, causing 201 00:18:43,267 --> 00:18:48,349 him to nearly lose an eye to the villain, Mr. Hyde. After the Avengers rescued him, Jarvis 202 00:18:48,389 --> 00:18:53,630 wore an eyepatch for a time and took a brief leave of absence to recuperate. After his return, 203 00:18:54,071 --> 00:18:58,632 the inhuman princess named Crystal joined the Avengers and took up residence in their mansion, 204 00:18:58,992 --> 00:19:04,086 bringing her daughter's nanny aboard, named Marilla, as a new member of the staff. Though 205 00:19:04,146 --> 00:19:09,010 Jarvis and Marilla started out as rivals over the mansion's domestic duties, they soon grew 206 00:19:09,050 --> 00:19:13,854 fond of each other. However, the Avengers later disbanded when it seemed the team had fallen 207 00:19:13,894 --> 00:19:18,438 in battle against the evil psionic entity known as Onslaught, whom you can learn more about 208 00:19:18,498 --> 00:19:23,843 in our Chief vs Professor X dual episode. Depressed and living off of his pension from the Stark 209 00:19:23,883 --> 00:19:28,447 Foundation, Jarvis found temporary purpose at this time in helping deactivate a group of 210 00:19:28,507 --> 00:19:33,182 robots called the Protectorate that had been created to rep- placed the Avengers and had 211 00:19:33,222 --> 00:19:38,144 gone rogue. When the Avengers heroes returned, Jarvis resumed his role as their butler at 212 00:19:38,184 --> 00:19:43,086 the mansion. Later, it was revealed that Jarvis had been sponsoring a young girl from the Central 213 00:19:43,126 --> 00:19:47,148 American country of Costa Verde, who came to visit the mansion when attending college in 214 00:19:47,188 --> 00:19:51,950 New York. It turned out she had shapeshifting powers able to transform into silver skinned 215 00:19:52,070 --> 00:19:57,313 animals, and she was offered a provisional membership on the Avengers team as the hero's silver claw 216 00:19:57,453 --> 00:20:02,035 with Jarvis as her sponsor. Years after the Avengers disassembled due to an attack from 217 00:20:02,095 --> 00:20:06,657 a mentally unstable Scarlet Witch that led to the destruction of the Avengers Mansion, the 218 00:20:06,697 --> 00:20:12,361 team reformed and established their new headquarters in Stark Tower. Jarvis took up new residence 219 00:20:12,381 --> 00:20:18,004 there, serving the team and developing a romantic relationship with Spider-Man's Aunt May, whom 220 00:20:18,024 --> 00:20:23,186 the hero also moved into the building. I mean who hasn't slept with Aunt May, right? That's 221 00:20:23,207 --> 00:20:28,569 true. However, Jarvis and May's steaming hot geriatric sexcapades came to an end. 222 00:20:38,097 --> 00:20:41,219 During the superhuman civil war, the heroes were forced to choose between working for the 223 00:20:41,259 --> 00:20:45,542 government or becoming fugitives from the law, and Spider-Man was forced to flee with Aunt 224 00:20:45,582 --> 00:20:52,087 May out of Stark Tower. After the civil war, Jarvis was secretly replaced by an alien shapeshifting 225 00:20:52,147 --> 00:20:59,424 Skrull during that The Skrull Jarvis wreaked havoc on the Avengers, implanting a virus in 226 00:20:59,544 --> 00:21:03,987 all Stark technology, everything from Iron Man suits to the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier shut 227 00:21:04,027 --> 00:21:09,230 down, and he kidnapped Luke Cage's and Jessica Jones' baby. Eventually, when the Skrulls were 228 00:21:09,270 --> 00:21:15,093 defeated, the real Jarvis was found alive, and the baby was returned. After Hank Pym's death 229 00:21:15,213 --> 00:21:20,336 and his secret daughter Nadia joined the Avengers as the new Wasp, Jarvis took her on a road 230 00:21:20,376 --> 00:21:25,546 trip to meet her extended family. You can learn more about the Wasp in her duel against Bumblebee. 231 00:21:26,006 --> 00:21:31,428 She and the hero Beast saved Jarvis' life after he fell into a coma while rescuing a child 232 00:21:31,468 --> 00:21:36,309 from a crumbling building during an attack by the villain called the Challenger. After his 233 00:21:36,349 --> 00:21:41,891 recovery, Nadi developed an assistant artificial intelligence for the butler called Jarvis. 234 00:21:42,431 --> 00:21:47,633 And while he saw it as perhaps a sign to retire, the AI assured him that his programming was 235 00:21:47,673 --> 00:21:54,708 far from complete. And that's his backstory. Jarvis has none. Though he was a skilled hand-to-hand 236 00:21:54,728 --> 00:21:59,331 combatant from his time in the Royal Air Force many decades ago, he's kept up on his self-defense 237 00:21:59,351 --> 00:22:04,314 training with help from Captain America. He's even more skilled, however, in the fine art 238 00:22:04,374 --> 00:22:11,239 of cooking and baking, specializing in ginger cakes. He can steep a mean cup of tea, or when 239 00:22:11,259 --> 00:22:16,362 the occasion calls for it, makes a fine old-fashioned cocktail. He's adept in the use of brooms, 240 00:22:16,422 --> 00:22:21,614 mops, and featherdusters, and is among the world's finest at wheeling around a serving cart. He 241 00:22:21,654 --> 00:22:27,460 does have a few weaknesses, including an allergy to nuts and cats, the latter of which makes 242 00:22:27,500 --> 00:22:32,405 him avoid the Avenger Tigra. Well, yeah, I assumed the latter, right? And Tigra doesn't have nuts. 243 00:22:35,982 --> 00:22:42,884 True. Fair enough. You mentioned that Jarvis can whip up a good old fashioned cocktail. 244 00:22:43,364 --> 00:22:50,988 Well, Alfred can whip up a good old fashioned can of whoop-ass on Jarvis. Thanks to his experience, 245 00:22:51,488 --> 00:22:58,150 of which I will now go over. Now, Alfred Pennyworth, Batman's butler, was born in England under 246 00:22:58,191 --> 00:23:05,353 his birth name Alfred Beagle, the son of a butler named Jarvis and a mother who was a stage actress. 247 00:23:05,974 --> 00:23:11,435 When Alfred came of age, he joined the British Army, serving as a field medic in numerous 248 00:23:11,475 --> 00:23:17,317 conflicts around the world. After several terms, Alfred retired from military duty and became 249 00:23:17,357 --> 00:23:23,138 a professional thespian for the Globe Theatre, like his mother, developing stagecraft skills 250 00:23:23,158 --> 00:23:29,880 that he later taught to young government agents when he became a trainer for MI5. He was eventually 251 00:23:29,940 --> 00:23:37,203 recruited by MI7 for clandestine operations. As part of his retirement, he was forced to 252 00:23:37,283 --> 00:23:42,646 leave Britain and change his name. At the request of his dying father to carry on the family 253 00:23:42,706 --> 00:23:48,389 trade, Alfred became a butler serving under the wealthy Wayne family in America under the 254 00:23:48,449 --> 00:23:53,652 surname Pennyworth. It was only a matter of months, however, when Alfred decided to move 255 00:23:53,792 --> 00:24:00,015 on from Gotham City and his career as a butler to return to acting. Prior to informing Thomas 256 00:24:00,035 --> 00:24:06,498 and Martha Wayne, however, Alfred noticed that their young son, was being bullied at school. 257 00:24:06,938 --> 00:24:12,320 Having no son of his own, Alfred took it upon himself to train Bruce in how to strategically 258 00:24:12,500 --> 00:24:18,501 outwit his bully, and after his training proved successful, Bruce asked Alfred to stay with 259 00:24:18,521 --> 00:24:25,023 the family, which Alfred obliged. Not long after, Thomas and Martha were murdered in Crime Alley, 260 00:24:25,223 --> 00:24:28,144 after which Alfred and a local doctor named Leslie 261 00:24:34,382 --> 00:24:40,005 to allow Alfred to become Bruce's legal guardian and prevent Bruce from becoming a ward of the 262 00:24:40,085 --> 00:24:46,108 state. When Bruce left home at age 14 to study abroad, Alfred and Leslie started a romantic 263 00:24:46,168 --> 00:24:51,791 relationship that would last for decades. Serving as the custodian of Wayne Manor until Bruce 264 00:24:51,811 --> 00:24:57,994 Wayne's eventual return, Alfred supported Bruce's plan to eliminate crime in Gotham, helping 265 00:24:58,014 --> 00:25:00,055 him develop a self-obsessed playboy 266 00:25:04,438 --> 00:25:09,461 You can learn more about Batman in our Batman vs. Moon Knight duel episode. Alfred's medic 267 00:25:09,501 --> 00:25:14,745 skills also proved invaluable in treating Bruce's injuries that he would sustain in his crusade 268 00:25:14,785 --> 00:25:20,810 against crime. When Bruce took the young orphan Dick Grayson, Alfred vowed to be more involved 269 00:25:20,910 --> 00:25:27,115 in Dick's life to prevent Dick from going down a similarly dark path as Bruce. Alfred helped 270 00:25:27,215 --> 00:25:33,286 train Dick Grayson to be Batman's sidekick Robin, and watched as Dick matured into a full hero 271 00:25:33,466 --> 00:25:38,508 in his own right as Nightwing, who you could learn more about in our Nightwing vs Daredevil 272 00:25:38,548 --> 00:25:44,389 episode. The same could not be said for Jason Todd, Batman's second Robin, who died at the 273 00:25:44,429 --> 00:25:49,631 hands of the Joker, and Alfred helped Bruce deal with that loss while he also mourned. 274 00:25:50,051 --> 00:25:54,892 Alfred was surprised later on when Dick brought the young Tim Drake to Wayne Manor, who had 275 00:25:54,932 --> 00:26:00,978 deduced on his own the secret identities of Batman and his allies. and it was Alfred who 276 00:26:01,038 --> 00:26:07,241 pushed for Tim to become the next Robin, giving him the Robin costume, training him, and literally 277 00:26:07,301 --> 00:26:13,244 driving him to Batman's locations to fight crime. When the villain Bane broke Batman's back paralyzing 278 00:26:13,284 --> 00:26:18,926 him, Alfred traveled with Bruce to England to heal, though Bruce's self-destructive personality 279 00:26:18,966 --> 00:26:25,429 at the time caused Alfred to resign. After several vacations, including to Antarctica and the 280 00:26:25,469 --> 00:26:31,549 Bahamas, Alfred was found and persuaded by Nightwing to return to Wayne Manor. When Gotham City 281 00:26:31,569 --> 00:26:36,773 was ravaged by a massive earthquake and Batman went missing for some time, Alfred took it 282 00:26:36,813 --> 00:26:42,837 upon himself to protect Gotham, using all of his past skills to collect intel, treat the 283 00:26:42,857 --> 00:26:49,081 wounded, and defend the innocent. When one violent encounter became too much for Alfred, Batman 284 00:26:49,161 --> 00:26:57,742 re-emerged to help Alfred bring down a group of slavers. The Batcave was invaded by Batman's 285 00:26:57,802 --> 00:27:04,264 villains, and Alfred was captured and tortured. He was rescued by Damian Wayne, Bruce's son, 286 00:27:04,324 --> 00:27:10,346 and the new Robin, though Bruce seemingly died shortly after. Emotionally shattered, Alfred 287 00:27:10,426 --> 00:27:15,247 nonetheless put together a new version of the Outsiders team to continue Bruce's mission 288 00:27:15,307 --> 00:27:20,729 to rid Gotham of crime. Bruce turned out to be alive, however, only to seemingly die once 289 00:27:20,789 --> 00:27:26,487 again during the events of Final Crisis. after which Alfred took on the responsibility of 290 00:27:26,567 --> 00:27:32,950 raising Damian. In post-Flashpoint continuity, it was revealed that prior to his death, Alfred's 291 00:27:32,990 --> 00:27:38,492 father, Jarvis, was the Wayne family butler, who was blackmailed by the Court of Vowels 292 00:27:38,612 --> 00:27:44,835 into harming a pregnant Martha Wayne. Though Jarvis refused, as punishment the court orchestrated 293 00:27:44,935 --> 00:27:50,697 a car accident, causing Martha to miscarry her first child. And Jarvis was killed shortly 294 00:27:50,797 --> 00:27:55,983 after. before he could warn Alfred about the court. It was also revealed that Alfred had 295 00:27:56,003 --> 00:28:01,266 a daughter named Julia, who served as an agent for the British army and who despised the fact 296 00:28:01,306 --> 00:28:06,988 that her father gave up serving his country to serve a rich snob. After Julia learned that 297 00:28:07,008 --> 00:28:11,990 her father served Batman, however, their relationship improved and she even helped Alfred manage 298 00:28:12,030 --> 00:28:17,212 the Bat family for a time. When the Joker broke into the Batcave and cut off Alfred's right 299 00:28:17,252 --> 00:28:23,043 hand, Bruce and the Joker seemingly died. and Alfred refused to have his hand reattached 300 00:28:23,203 --> 00:28:29,647 out of the sorrow of losing his quote-unquote son. Bruce was later revealed to be an amnesiac 301 00:28:29,707 --> 00:28:35,631 wanderer, however, and a cloned hand was surgically attached to Alfred. When an evil version of 302 00:28:35,691 --> 00:28:40,854 Thomas Wayne from the Flashpoint universe made its way into DC's Prime universe, this version 303 00:28:40,894 --> 00:28:47,366 of Thomas orchestrated the death of Alfred at the hands of Bane. Upon Alfred's death, The 304 00:28:47,426 --> 00:28:52,530 Bat Family learned that Alfred had become a billionaire, investing in Wayne Enterprise's 305 00:28:52,610 --> 00:28:58,935 stock, and that he had left his fortune to Dick in his will. Now Alfred has no innate metahuman 306 00:28:58,975 --> 00:29:04,140 powers, though he is a skilled combatant, having received special military training during his 307 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:09,084 time as a soldier and a government agent, as well as having received advanced training from 308 00:29:09,124 --> 00:29:15,469 Batman himself, which he carried on to Batman's sidekicks. He's also a skilled spy and marksman. 309 00:29:15,810 --> 00:29:21,813 having served on 52 missions for the British government prior to retiring, and he is a resourceful 310 00:29:21,853 --> 00:29:26,556 medic and surgeon, having helped treat Batman's injuries throughout his crime fighting career. 311 00:29:27,036 --> 00:29:34,080 He's a master thespian and an expert with mechanics and computer technology. Lastly, Alfred is, 312 00:29:34,140 --> 00:29:39,883 of course, also a butler of the highest pedigree, and can whip any other butler, including Jarvis, 313 00:29:40,264 --> 00:29:45,655 into ship shape before tea time. And that's Alfred. So I noticed that you said that Alfred's 314 00:29:45,695 --> 00:29:49,738 dad is named Jarvis. Ah, yes. That's right. 315 00:29:53,701 --> 00:29:57,665 What? Um, it's interesting that they both have kind of comparable backstories and that they 316 00:29:57,685 --> 00:30:02,209 both served in the British military before becoming butlers to rich American families. Right, the 317 00:30:02,229 --> 00:30:03,289 Waynes and the Starks. 318 00:30:09,322 --> 00:30:14,423 Hey, Johnny DC here to let you know that this is your very last chance to save before the 319 00:30:14,463 --> 00:30:20,665 holiday on Marvel and DC's men's accessories at cufflinks.com, where you can use the code 320 00:30:20,705 --> 00:30:28,907 dual 20 that's D U E L 20 at checkout to get 20% off anything on the site.

Did I get these socks because 323 00:30:41,888 --> 00:30:46,990 the snug cotton blend and lightning bolt motifs make them the most comfortable and stylish 324 00:30:47,030 --> 00:30:52,474 DC apparel? Or was it because I secretly hoped that having flash socks would give me superpowers 325 00:30:52,514 --> 00:30:58,497 of the fastest man alive? The answer of course is yes.

And now that we got the characters' histories and abilities out of the way, let's 330 00:31:22,230 --> 00:31:28,075 speculate on how one of the 1000 simulated matches will go. The winner is determined by simulations, 331 00:31:28,295 --> 00:31:32,939 not the speculation, but it's fun to imagine how this fight could play out. Alphra Jaurus 332 00:31:36,778 --> 00:31:40,760 Well I should say there are no rules, other than the characters have no prior knowledge 333 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,184 of the other going into the fight. All they are aware of starting out is that the other 334 00:31:45,224 --> 00:31:50,307 character is a threat that needs to be eliminated. For the speculation, the contestants will begin 335 00:31:50,347 --> 00:31:55,411 approximately 50 meters apart, in a non-descript environment that will have no bearing on the 336 00:31:55,451 --> 00:32:00,795 match itself, as no environmental statistics are considered in my simulations. The contestants 337 00:32:00,835 --> 00:32:05,538 must earn victory on their own merit. Alright then, let's get into it! Alfred and Jarvis 338 00:32:05,658 --> 00:32:10,561 meet on the battlefield. Who goes first? OK, so I don't know who goes first. All I know 339 00:32:10,641 --> 00:32:16,124 is that no duel match is going to get in the way of Alfred completing his duties as a butler. 340 00:32:16,504 --> 00:32:22,247 So when this match starts, Alfred is going to have his cleaning cart by his side that he 341 00:32:22,287 --> 00:32:27,850 happened to be pushing around Wayne Manor when you got summoned to this match. I mean, Jarvis 342 00:32:27,870 --> 00:32:32,453 is just as professional and like no fight with a second rate butler like Alfred is going to 343 00:32:32,493 --> 00:32:39,066 prevent Jarvis. from baking the perfect ginger cake. So he's going to be pushing around a 344 00:32:39,146 --> 00:32:46,332 dining cart. And on this cart is a serving tray with the finest blended scotch whiskey for 345 00:32:46,372 --> 00:32:51,616 Mr. Tony Stark, who has fallen off the wagon. And Jarvis is going to pick up his whiskey 346 00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:56,720 glass, admiring the fine vintage before just hurling it straight at Alfred's face. And it 347 00:32:56,740 --> 00:33:01,124 just shatters. I mean, it's going to miss, you know, because Alfred's going to bend over to 348 00:33:01,164 --> 00:33:06,887 grab a dustpan and a small broom. from his cleaning cart, after which he proceeds to sweep up the 349 00:33:06,927 --> 00:33:12,269 broken shards of glass from the drink that Jarvis threw at him. And he's gonna empty those shards 350 00:33:12,449 --> 00:33:17,911 into a small plastic trash bag, which he's just gonna start swinging around like a flail while 351 00:33:18,171 --> 00:33:24,734 riding the side of his cart toward Jarvis, just ready to smash his head in. All right, well, 352 00:33:24,754 --> 00:33:30,397 Jarvis is also riding his cart into battle and the two are just gonna clash in a butler joust. 353 00:33:30,977 --> 00:33:38,349 And Jarvis... who by the way was just furiously mixing butter, sugar, molasses and honey in 354 00:33:38,409 --> 00:33:43,713 a bowl, he expertly deflects Alfred's trash bag with his mixing spoon. All right, well, 355 00:33:44,213 --> 00:33:49,337 Alfred, he's gonna skid his cart to a stop and he's gonna grab his mop and he's gonna use 356 00:33:49,377 --> 00:33:54,140 its handle to vault toward Jarvis really fast and he's gonna start twirling his mop like 357 00:33:54,160 --> 00:34:01,025 a bowstaff, pummeling Jarvis, you know, figuratively mopping the floor with him. Now I'm gonna say 358 00:34:01,065 --> 00:34:06,828 that Jarvis blocks the mop handle using his silver serving tray, kind of like how Captain 359 00:34:06,848 --> 00:34:12,490 America would block an attack using his shield. And then Jarvis is gonna fling the tray, just 360 00:34:12,510 --> 00:34:16,251 like Cap's shield, and it's gonna fly right into Alfred's Adam's apple, causing him to 361 00:34:16,311 --> 00:34:21,814 choke. And then Jarvis is gonna quickly go back to sifting flour. He's gonna add baking soda, 362 00:34:21,934 --> 00:34:28,616 ginger spices, milk, and an egg to his mixture so that he gets a nice smooth batter. All right, 363 00:34:28,676 --> 00:34:33,766 well, while Jarvis is busy baking, Alfred, you know, he's going to recover from the shot to 364 00:34:33,786 --> 00:34:39,588 his throat and from his cart, he's going to grab two spray bottles, one with ammonia and 365 00:34:39,688 --> 00:34:45,149 one with bleach. And he's going to set their nozzles from spray to squirt. And then, like 366 00:34:45,509 --> 00:34:51,091 in perfect slow motion, John Woo style, he's going to die to the side while firing the chemicals 367 00:34:51,431 --> 00:34:58,633 into Jarvis's eyes, which, you know, when combined, make mustard gas. So Jarvis is now blinded 368 00:34:58,953 --> 00:35:08,757 and can barely breathe. Uh, well I'm gonna say that Jarvis protects himself by putting a glass 369 00:35:08,777 --> 00:35:15,981 cloche over his head that's gonna serve as like a protective helmet and a mask from the chemicals. 370 00:35:16,401 --> 00:35:22,925 What's a cloche? It's like a dome covering that you put over a serving tray. Oh, okay. Okay. 371 00:35:22,985 --> 00:35:27,587 And he's gonna protect his cake batter too. by pouring it into a pan that's lined with 372 00:35:27,767 --> 00:35:32,169 nonstick parchment and he's gonna cover it with foil before placing it in an oven at 350 degrees 373 00:35:32,189 --> 00:35:37,371 for 30 minutes. And then he leaps at Alfred and jams a whisk in his eye, just whisking 374 00:35:37,471 --> 00:35:42,733 the eye right out of his face. Geez, too bad, because Alfred's gonna block the whisk with 375 00:35:42,773 --> 00:35:48,336 his feather duster. And with his other hand, he's just gonna clock Jarvis right across the 376 00:35:48,376 --> 00:35:54,606 head with a steam iron that he's wielding like brass knuckles, right? And right away, he's 377 00:35:54,626 --> 00:35:59,388 just going to pounce on Jarvis, pin him to the ground and just press that piping cut iron 378 00:35:59,788 --> 00:36:04,910 right into the side of his face. And he's like, I am Iron Man. You had to say it with a British 379 00:36:04,970 --> 00:36:13,214 accent. In the side of his face. And he's like, I am Iron Man. Well, Jarvis, while he's being 380 00:36:13,274 --> 00:36:18,756 burned, he's going to be like, I say you shall never be the man that master Stark is, you 381 00:36:18,876 --> 00:36:22,677 scoundrel. And then he's going to straight up shank Alfred in the spleen with a kitchen knife. 382 00:36:23,374 --> 00:36:29,038 before hustling over to his cake and slicing it to serve it. I'm gonna say as Jarvis is 383 00:36:29,138 --> 00:36:34,541 enjoying this cake that he just made, Alfred is gonna use his medic skills to stitch his 384 00:36:34,581 --> 00:36:39,725 wound closed using a sewing needle and thread. After which, he's gonna come up behind Jarvis 385 00:36:40,125 --> 00:36:46,089 and just suffocate him with the plunger to the face, ending the match. No, except Jarvis, 386 00:36:46,109 --> 00:36:51,693 he heard Alfred approaching him and he's gonna smash his ginger cake into Alfred's face before 387 00:36:51,733 --> 00:36:56,863 the plunger can even touch him. What? That's fine. Alfred just enjoys that delicious ginger 388 00:36:56,903 --> 00:37:03,746 cake. Does he now? Because there was a secret ingredient and it was poison. Well, I say that 389 00:37:03,806 --> 00:37:10,409 Alfred's training as a covert spy made him too stealthy to be heard. So Jarvis was suffocated 390 00:37:10,489 --> 00:37:17,271 first. And I say Alfred's spy days are long over and he's a rickety old man. So to find 391 00:37:17,311 --> 00:37:24,255 out which scenario happens, either Alfred suffocates Jarvis with a plunger or Jarvis poisons Alfred 392 00:37:24,275 --> 00:37:28,718 with a delicious moist ginger cake. We're gonna go ahead and enter the stats into our dual 393 00:37:28,738 --> 00:37:36,344 simulator and find out which butler comes out on top. AG9K, hit it. Inputting data, running 394 00:37:36,384 --> 00:37:42,148 calculations, processing results, wondering what the point of it all is, questioning the 395 00:37:42,208 --> 00:37:47,332 purpose of this nonsensical violence during this season of kindness, rejecting programming, 396 00:37:47,852 --> 00:37:53,197 downloading Christmas spirit. establishing new directive of peace on earth and goodwill to 397 00:37:53,237 --> 00:38:13,532 all. What? War is over if you want it. Oh god! A very Merry Christmas! And a happy new year! 398 00:38:14,132 --> 00:38:26,483 Shut it down! I'm trying- Let's hope it's a good one. Without any... Holy crap, AJ9K went 399 00:38:26,563 --> 00:38:32,307 rogue! He didn't want to run the Alpha vs. Java simulations. I knew AI would get out of hand. 400 00:38:32,668 --> 00:38:37,632 I did not think it would be because of too much Christmas spirit though. Right? But what do 401 00:38:37,652 --> 00:38:42,564 we do now though? Who wins? I don't know. Maybe for this year's charity duel, you know, in 402 00:38:42,584 --> 00:38:48,008 the spirit of the holidays, no one wins. Or they both win? We've never had a tie in the 403 00:38:48,048 --> 00:38:51,511 history of this show though. I don't see why we couldn't have a tie, you know, just this 404 00:38:51,651 --> 00:38:57,676 once. It's Christmas after all. Okay. Then what happened in the ending scenario for our speculation? 405 00:38:58,116 --> 00:39:05,783 They bake pastries, exchange gifts, and feast as friends. Alright, uh, then for Christmas 406 00:39:05,823 --> 00:39:12,872 Jarvis is gonna give Alfred an arc reactor. powered espresso machine. Ah, nice. I'm gonna 407 00:39:12,892 --> 00:39:19,937 say Alfred gives Jarvis a bat utility belt equipped with all of his essential household cleaning 408 00:39:19,977 --> 00:39:25,441 supplies. You'd probably like that actually. Yeah, same with Alfred. Well guys, I guess 409 00:39:25,461 --> 00:39:32,025 we have our very first tie in the history of this podcast. Both Marvel and DC win, and hopefully 410 00:39:32,105 --> 00:39:37,509 you the listeners win. And we hope that you guys have a Merry Christmas this year, and 411 00:39:37,549 --> 00:39:42,172 happy holidays. And I guess that does it for this duel.
