CAPTAIN AMERICA: Brave New World Trailer (2025) Red Hulk | 4K UHD

They say that the Red Hulk is Harrison Ford and as soon as fat as hell fat nodules everywhere still taking the medicine loading up on it and he's going to be toast so he of course is one of the hulks and husband Zeus is thinking this is interesting and it is probably a causation of them sending the trikes and things when they are riddled or green Hulk or warrior Hulk and the thing is that they don't stay in there and they put the Hulk back in and they get beat up but the point is that they do that and they send it on down and it's motivation for them to come here and to use force and be stealth about it and try and activate it while they're here and wants those caverns are gone and the caverns in Mexico they can't really count on devices being detonated it's going to be over and there's probably a month or two left at the most so we think that they say they're gone actually have a funeral and they're not in their bodies and try and grab him there but it's possibly Todd who has to move because of Mac proper and they're waiting on them with everything and the storms are not helping and people went into the ship in their professionals and he's always been a little bit sharper than others but this is what's happening and it is why they would be sending stuff that and they want him to move they're having a hard times here and I figured it's much harder than they thought but that's comes after we think the Hulk configuration or really it's a formula

Hera

Olympus true too

It's very sharp of them to think of it and it is probably what it is they're all getting very sick their bodies are collapsing and failing they see these massive massive men and they stay that way for the most part and it kind of heals them and then they want to take over more power and they want to be incognito and they also want to be themselves and they know how to do all that so they're going ahead with it and they're going to start trying for each other and so forth so she's been and Trump we're going to keep doing it and they want to be the ones who send the trike the pair and they will be ironically so they might not be in other bodies and that time it's more game and just there is a plethora of it that it runs pretty much in a linear fashion and people are surprised but not always but usually so they're going to arrange for their own boys to have a problem but they're not their own boys one of them is close and the other is that this guy Dave he does all the time and they have to hold them out and they're going to use Tommy f against Todd and the probably Mac and Mac would be helping the orchestrate this

Hera

Sweet long-winded for a couple kids business yes it isn't it it really is but we're not telling them and they're trying to figure it out cuz it's so goddamn annoying

That guy today is fine we're going to get him fired it's a good idea the hell out of there you can't feel normal person you're nuts don't spit in there with the f****** touch it

Trying to imply his sick you stupid little idiot you got caught now people going to beat you up to death good

Mac Daddy actually run the place and I don't want you around I'm sick of trump to you and I need you out this is going to do it you can hurt those too and they hurt you back

I guess I got out of control but everyone's doing the spitting telling me off a lot of them it's kind of ruining my day it says with Spence we are spent and we're going to make mistakes so he's just going to have a stupid he wants and the joker is one of them the movie Arkham asylum with bat man is another one there's something about that building he says it's not from Auschwitz from Australia or something he thinks and with his friend was there his grandma and he pulled them out a lot of them and decimated them so the Russians are going to get drawn in and now that makes sense but it wasn't the Russian story it was not them and he hates this mental health stuff that people keep talking about

Seanskee

Oh it's not you everything's okay he's happy with it it says I don't want the goddamn trikes you stupid idiots it's actually truly doesn't ride motorcycles and he doesn't want to try it's even worse he says you don't have to concentrate this drive right into a building like Tommy f and for Christ's sake what you doing

Todd

I was in a trance I couldn't remember what the hell is doing and he says he's experienced it and it can be an emitter it's not really a chance and I know that for crazy and it kind of blocks your brain from moving or something I'm kind of experienced it it locks you into sophisticated to do it at that angle but really when you see the film the film has him in it and up at the whole way and you seen it centered and it's probably the person filming and I did figure that out this is an amazing person so we even survive this but really I somehow orchestrate this to happen it doesn't buy them and it's like really hung up on that cuz he doesn't have money so is that money at all and we're not really doing a great job in this regional City should for some reason he should but triked is not a great idea these things are terrible. It only ride a motorcycle short distance but people ride these trikes all over the place they're much safer but not for him he's also it would be for a while but he always wipes out eventually. It's going to happen with a funeral and he gets it now he's trying to understand it I'm making the deal happen and back then it could be the other way too but this way it's the other way usually it's opposite is not true it has to do with the message. If I got the money from him for those it would be a mac message and we probably interpret it it would be giving life if I'm doing it this way they're saying it's the offset taking it but I'm actually doing that they make it seem harmless and I'm not really going to have a ton of the work these guys are up for it and it's because their kids took them when they passed and Cherry should say he has not Jerry has not and he was not the one it was Uncle Joe. And that's what happened so we see the effect we understand that we're sick it's not that bad yet he says you're kidding that's a lot it's actually true that's a lot it's not really that bad but they rate of infection is not but the status of its location is really horrendous and it makes it very difficult to get out and it says and they might find a clothing brand in and fix it and that's how you fix it and you use power too. What's up Gaga in the bus just going to beat up and older kids happening to us and he was saying you you'll be young and stuff because you be doing things correctly to a portion of degrees he doesn't know what all this stuff with this motorcycle too but we'll do but it's kind of shake It up with time Todd has to move in Todd has to safely but that's why he's going to take a break and Dave too you won't let this guy do anything and really it's the one from Dave and that's why it's really more about the trike it's more lenient than Trump and Trump is going to make it happen to some kids to his own kid in Trump has to step off because he'll try to have him driving around oh I get it he says on the dealer and he says why didn't you step in and you'd see mine and she says I'm going to be there at the funeral and he says how are you going to do that and what was your character of the idiot that's threw me down the stairs and no that's what Trump's kids Alicia. And they'd be showing up and you would inherit stuff because they don't have anyone to give it to and that's what they would say it's not true or friends of yours and it's true

Hera

Olympus

Used to hang out with the two yeah I know it's hot a lot you hung out with Todd a lot and your friends with Dave before he says thank you very much it's like this show the old timers use and watch this is your life it's kind of funny talking to him it says now the other one is Lori which is really and I say this she's really me Rosemarie is her character. But she's stepped out and horrifically and we're all in trouble so yeah I plan on doing all this stuff

Rosemarie and I'm not Sherry I would be Emily blunt

Hard lessons, racing Verstappen and fan criticism - Norris interview

Scott Mitchell-Malm

Lando Norris has a conflicted view of his 2024 Formula 1 season.

He thinks it’s been “a very good year” but is sympathetic to more negative perspectives of his nearly-but-not-quite title bid.

“From the outside, I understand why people think it hasn't been,” Norris tells The Race.

“And I completely…almost agree with it!

“But once you know the reasons why different things [happened], I'm still pretty proud of the season it's been so far.”

This is by a long way Norris’s most prolific season in F1: three grand prix wins (so far), seven poles, 12 podiums and second in the championship.

There’s a slightly sour taste, though, from the failure to capitalise on McLaren’s great momentum through the year as Red Bull’s struggles made Max Verstappen vulnerable.

Norris pauses briefly for thought on numerous occasions in this conversation with The Race, which takes place in Mexico, before Verstappen’s unlikely, exceptional win in the Brazilian Grand Prix moved Norris’s title hopes from ‘unlikely’ to ‘all but over’.

The knowledge that this will imminently be settled in Verstappen’s favour, perhaps as early as this weekend in Las Vegas, only makes Norris’s dissection of his season more poignant. There is something cathartic about the way he works through the highs and lows of 2024, where he agrees with certain criticisms, where he feels the need to push back.

“I think that's quite obvious,” he says when asked if there’s a sense of what might have been this year.

“Not as many [missed opportunities] as people think. And people in general think it's been a lot worse than it's been, that we've been a lot quicker than we have been.

“But there's clearly ones that we've definitely let things go away: Silverstone, Canada-ish – I wouldn't say completely. Maybe one or two others.

“The other ones are the ones that people want to believe were bad for different reasons. When the starts have been ‘bad’, I've generally still been in the top three, four, five of starts, even on those days.

“If you look at Barcelona, when I had a ‘bad’ start everyone says, the best starter in that race was Max. And I think I was like the third or fourth third best starter on the grid.

“It's just I happened to be next to the guy who got the best start.

The Barcelona start defence is slightly convenient, given that guy also happened to be the other title protagonist. But at the same time, it would be naive to think that any champion is the number one at everything all season long. The reality of a championship is that it has ups and downs: isolated defeats are inevitable and isolated moments of greatness aren’t a sure-fire sign of title worthiness.

Norris, being in the final throes of this season and focusing on getting McLaren’s constructors’ championship sealed, is probably still in the process of evening out the oscillations to work out exactly where the real opportunities are to improve for 2025. He calls this a “big learning year, even though it's my sixth year and all of this nonsense”.

“It's been better than people have thought,” he says.

“There's definitely been some missed opportunities. That's a fact. But I'm very happy with my whole season. I still feel like I've got a lot out of it. Things have not just gone to plan.

“There's been certain races which have gone away from us.

“But I'm pretty happy with the whole season that I had, because it's clear when things do go right, how amazing that they can be.”

'THE HARSH REALITY' AGAINST VERSTAPPEN

There are seven occasions this year where McLaren has had the ‘fastest’ car, based on each team’s quickest laptimes from each weekend in the dry. But only three wins for Norris. And only two from seven pole positions.

It has brought forth some critical responses from those who remember Norris saying of Lewis Hamilton in 2020: “He's in a car which should win every race, basically. He has to beat one or two other drivers, that's it. Fair play to him, he's still doing the job he has to do.”

Now though, the argument is that Norris, 20 at the time, was disrespectful back then and is finding out now it’s not as easy as he claimed it would be. Put that to Norris and he insists: “First of all, I would never think that! For anyone who knows me, that's definitely not how I think.

“But I would say it's as tough as I've imagined because so many things can still easily go against you, even when you have the best car.

“Make one mistake in a Q3 lap, you're not on pole when you should have been. You don't have a perfect start when the guy who starts P2 does a perfect start, you’re P2 when you shouldn't have been.

“There's been a couple when we were so dominant – like Zandvoort – it doesn't matter if you made the mistakes at the beginning. You can come back through and you can still dominate and easily win a race.

“But when people think we've had the most dominant car ever…I’ve been on pole by three thousandths or five thousandths or two hundredths, and those positions are positions that just stay for the rest of the race.

“I've always known that – it’s just the harsh reality of when you're there, and actually you're living that situation.”

Where Norris missed out certainly wasn’t a solo effort. The poles have been ‘wasted’ for various reasons.

Norris has, as mentioned, lost critical ground at the start that stopped him winning in Spain and Hungary. He was outmuscled by Piastri again in Italy, where McLaren was also caught out by an unlikely Ferrari/Charles Leclerc one-stop.

Norris was then too naive into the first corner in the United States, giving Verstappen the chance to bully him off-track, and was on the wrong end of another run-in later in the race as Norris got penalised for an illegal overtake. Then in Brazil, where Norris was jumped at the start, he got shuffled further back by the mid-race red flag that was perfect for Verstappen, and made a mistake at the subsequent restart.

The pole-to-win ratio doesn’t even take into account the chances Norris had to win races he didn’t start from pole at: like Canada or Britain, two races where strategic hesitations in mixed conditions cost McLaren and Norris dearly.

This reflects too many errors from driver and team, too many minor imperfections, which is simply not good enough to match the level Verstappen and Red Bull set for their title rivals.

“The thing is suddenly I'm fighting them for a win,” Norris says.

“So not doing a perfect job against these drivers, mainly Max in this case, means I win a race or I don't, and therefore it hurts a bit more and it feels like there's a bigger effect to it all.

“You win, suddenly you have a lot more praise. You do one mistake, you suddenly have a lot more criticism. Both are compliments in ways, and I've enjoyed both of them.

“But I've paid the price, more so in terms of a championship point of view when I’ve not done things to the correct level.

“You get punished more at the top when things don't go right than you do when you're more midfield.”

PUZZLED BY CRITICISM

Possibly the strangest narrative that Norris being on the periphery of a title challenge has created is the notion that Norris has been a hopeless contender: one of if not the worst of all time.

It wouldn’t merit much consideration beyond a swift dismissal of being unimaginative, overly simplistic and crude, if it didn’t feel so unusual, even by the modern social media standards.

Partisan fanbases have become more common in F1 and in principle there is nothing wrong with that. Tribalism is a fascinating dynamic in a lot of sports. But it comes with a downside that Norris has had to confront more than the average driver.

“I find it's a little bit weird, because I read all those things,” he says.

“When people think my ego is too big or something, it couldn't be further from the truth - especially when I'm driving.

“Maybe sometimes I choose the wrong words or something, and people somehow use that against me.”

There’s a little irony that he says that given how he frames the point about not having an ego, but all he means is he is not full of braggadocio as a driver – something attested to by the sheer volume of critical comments he’s made about himself this year.

More importantly, this doesn’t feel like something he has previously considered in much detail. Norris is clearly developing a train of thought in real time.

“I think there's more and more people in the world who either don't want to listen to the truth, and sometimes when I say the truth or facts people just don't want to agree with them, or they want to disagree and kind of prove me wrong,” he wonders.

“I find it odd as I feel like I haven't changed. Maybe I have in certain things…Definitely some things have changed.

“I definitely don't go around and joke and laugh as much as I used to, and I think people loved that and maybe don't like it as much now I don't.”

Norris insists the negative perceptions and over-the-top criticisms don’t impact him as a driver. But there are obvious signs he feels it on a human level.

He admits that he can dwell on it at times “because I’m an over-thinker…so I’ll question myself about it”. But he has learned to shake things off quickly, and put more stock in what those around him say.

“I've always been honest when I've done a good job and done a bad job,” he says.

“When I know I've done something wrong, or someone tells me I've done something wrong, I'll always accept it and acknowledge that in the right way.

“But when I know for a fact I haven't, and people kind of make things of it or turn it into something where I have, there’s some kind of stuff I don't understand, especially the amount of negative stuff I get nowadays – I almost want to say for no reason.

“It puzzles me a little bit.

“I don't mind people having different opinions, but stating incorrect things is probably the thing that I don't understand, and probably the thing that gets to me the most.

“But it doesn't affect my day to day life at all. And I'm very happy with the people I have around me, my group.

“They're the people who are being more honest with me about when I'm doing well or when I'm not, or whether I'm being a dick, and when I'm not.”

NO EXCUSES FOR 2025

It looks likely that McLaren will this year end a title drought stretching back to Hamilton’s first world championship in 2008, by securing the constructors’ championship.

McLaren started 2023 with one of the slowest cars and was briefly last in the championship, but now ends the following season as the benchmark team. That’s despite beginning even 2024 a little slowly as it waited a few races for the most fruitful winter developments to make it to the track.

That cost Norris pivotal ground to Verstappen. But whatever was or wasn’t right about Norris’s 2024, and how it ends, will be wasted if he and McLaren don’t improve for 2025.

There will be no excuses next year. Fighting for both titles next year from the start is a must.

“That's very clear,” Norris says.

“We as a team know that next year is the year – probably the first one since I've been in Formula 1, where I can go ‘We are challenging for the title’.”

This is Norris’s reward for recommitting to McLaren a couple of years ago, when he signed a new long-term deal to draw a line under speculation linking him to Red Bull. Of course, it left him very well compensated. But it was still a show of loyalty.

“I’m very happy that I've stuck with the team that I believed in even when a lot of people didn't,” Norris says.

“And for all of that to actually come true, when it was hard to believe at times, when we could take two steps forward and then step back, and then catch up and then drop back. There were times when I did question it for sure, on what's the best for my future and what do I want to do.

“The fact we've been able to go from where we were to beating Red Bull, when not even 12 months ago they had the most dominant season, that’s an incredible achievement.

“I'm happy that I stuck through the harder times when I could have picked an easier route out of it, could have gone to different teams. The team understand that too, the journey that we've been on together, and I think they appreciate that, which probably makes me the happiest out of all of it.”

These opportunities are the ultimate validation of the faith Norris had in this team and failing at his first half-chance at a title can be part of the process. But he must still improve further to show this season is only part of the climb, rather than the summit.

so glad he doesn't let the hate affect him & surrounds himself with ppl who love and care for him 🫶
