Yeah.
19
I think MJ's not playing that.
20
MJ's definitely not a teacher's pet.
21
No.
22
Peter Parker's probably the worst student ever because he's out saving the world every day.
23
Always gone.
24
Yeah.
25
Jacob, Ned would just do as he's told.
26
Yeah, absolutely.

Peter and MJ are very much like, Ned, get went into the assignment, can I have it?

Deadpool, Korg, or King of the Conqueror?
38
I would like to see Korg's spin-off movie.
39
I would like, like, I think Taika in that role is so fun.
40
So a whole film with that would be perfect for me.
41
Yeah.
42
Just two hours of Korg.
43
Yeah.
44
Yeah, just two hours of Korg would be amazing.
45
Ventures of.
46
I'd like them to do a TV show of Korg, which has nothing to do with being a superhero, which is just him being a rock person.
47
Just walking around, living life.
48
Yeah.
49
Yeah.
50
Yeah.
51
Commenting on things.

Norman Osborn, Dr.

Otto Octavius, or J.
60
Jonah Jameson?
61
Norman, right?
62
Well, yeah, he is just evil and just.

Yeah, the little, you know, he'd be switching.
64
Yeah, it would have to be Norman.
65
When the goblin takes over, you're like, mm.
66
Yeah, but he probably wouldn't end up in a jail cell, would he?
67
You had to catch him.
68
Well, yeah, he would, yeah.
69
But I mean, we're thinking, I mean, we're thinking literally, where I think, you know, it's a little bit more conceptually that you end up in a jail cell.
70
Yeah.
71
Who do you think?
72
Well, I think Jameson would shout his mouth off.
73
Yeah, but you can't go to prison for shouting.
74
Yeah.
75
I think Doc Ock or Goblin would just be killing people.
76
That you can go to prison for.
77
They'd have to go to a special like you know high maximum security kind of Superhero prison.
78
Yeah Raven's Croft I think is what it's called in the spider-man universe is the superhero prison super villain prison Raven prison Supervillain prison, supervillain prison, supervillain prison.

90
Ant-Man, Thor, or Star-Lord?
91
It's got to be Thor, isn't it?
92
Thor, yeah.
93
He's drinking a lot in Endgame.
94
Yeah, isn't he having a bit of a rough time?
95
He sounds like he's got a bit of a problem.
96
Yeah.
97
I'd say Thor, probably.
98
Yeah, Thor.
99
Completely agree.
100
Who's most likely to appear in the MCU as part of the Sinister Six?
101
Venom, Mysterio, or Rhino?
102
That is such a clever way to trick us to give you an answer.
103
Yeah, answer.
104
And I really appreciate it.
105
But unfortunately we can't answer that question, but I like what you did there.
106
That was really clever You sort of sucked us in with a really fun interview Not today.
107
I've been made that question got approved.
108
Oh does everything have to get approved?
109
Well, they believe in us They know that we know Well done guys you've dodged back well Who's most likely to miss Tony Stark the most?
110
Peter Parker, Bruce Banner, or Happy Hogan?
111
Happy.
112
Wow, I'd say Happy, yeah.
113
As much as Peter has an amazing relationship with Tony, and also Tony was kind of Peter's father figure, I think the relationship between Happy and Tony, you know, goes on for, I think they've known each other like 30 years or something like that.
114
So that brotherhood that they have must be very special.
115
Yeah, completely agree.
116
Who's most likely to make Bruce Banner turn into the Hulk?
117
Peter Parker, Doctor Strange or Thor?
118
Ooh, that's a tricky one.
119
I've always wanted to have more to do with Ruffalo.
120
like, just being a massive fan of his work, I also love him as a person.
121
Mark is like one of the nicest people.
122
But I think Peter Parker and the Hulk, or Spider-Man and the Hulk, could be a great, like, imagine like the Hulk walking on and Peter Parker's just sitting on his shoulders or something.
123
I think it would be a really nice dynamic.
124
So I'm gonna go with Peter Parker because I would be deliberately trying to make him the Hulk.
125
Yeah.
126
I like you, Zander.
127
Um, I mean, I'll share the enthusiasm.
128
I think there was a, I don't know, did it end up being in there?
129
You being thrown by it?
130
Yeah, there was, but it's not in the film.
131
Oh, dang.
132
That's what you told me and I was so excited to see it.
133
Yeah, there was this really cool bit in Endgame.
134
There was this scene called the trench where basically Giant Man dug a huge trench in the battle.
135
All of the Avengers kind of came together.
136
Captain America gave an inspirational speech about what we were going to do.
137
And then we then went up to the front line and I think that's when he said the original Avengers assemble and then we all charged out of this trench.
138
And I was next to Mark, who was obviously in a mocap suit, and we were like, wouldn't it be cool if you threw Spider-Man?
139
We pitched it to the Russo's and we were like, that was awesome.
140
And then we did this really awkward thing where I would jump and then Mark would pretend to catch me and throw me.
141
Yeah, after you.
142
And we thought it would be really cool,
143
but I think that scene just in the midst of the battle didn't really make sense like what have where's all the bad guys why are they
144
not there like fighting us all the time yeah it would have been cool though to just toss this kid I tell you what though
145
I remember when we so they built this trench and we all had to kind of like clamber down the trench and Chadwick he launched off
146
the top of the trench and would land on the floor every time it was so cool it was amazing I remember thinking I was like the athletic one.
147
I was like, guys, I'm Spider-Man, don't worry about it.
148
And Chadwick just, it was incredible.
149
Yeah.
150
Oh, that's amazing.
151
Who's most likely to give Ned the best dating advice?
152
Aunt May, Peter Parker, or MJ?
153
I think, Aunt May would give the best advice.
154
I think MJ would just be brutally honest and probably like don't be yourself.
155
Yeah no trust me you don't want to be yourself.
156
Yeah yeah and Peter would be like just don't go don't go please don't go.
157
Peter would not yeah.
158
People just make him more nervous.
159
Yeah Peter yeah they would he would I'll I'll come with you, I'll come with you, we'll go together.
160
And like, that's a terrible idea.
161
Yeah.
162
We're writing the scene now.
163
We should write the Spider-Man movie together.
164
I also think as well, like, judging by the movie, May is pretty brutal when it comes to dating.
165
So, yeah.
166
You should see this movie.
167
Yeah.
168
There's this one scene, I don't know, Sony have probably released it in some clip.
169
You can put all the whole movie together with clips if you go online.
170
But Sony are probably watching like, I'm a bastard.
171
But there's a great scene where May is pretty brutal about relationships in this film.
172
Amazing.
173
Who's most likely to have the biggest MCU bromance?
174
Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal, Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan, or Robert Downey Jr.
175
and Mark Ruffalo?
176
I think you and Jake.
177
Me and Jake, man.
178
I love Jake so much.
179
I got to witness it firsthand.
180
He actually texted me yesterday, and I don't want to brag about it, but Jake Gyllenhaal texted me yesterday.
181
I remember the first time he texted you.
182
Yeah.
183
Jake Gyllenhaal texted me.
184
And I was like, me and Jacob were like, OK.
185
OK.
186
I was like, whatever.
187
You're like, yeah, he's in this movie.
188
Yeah.
189
Why is that such a big deal?
190
OK.
191
And I remember you being worried that he was just being your friend because of the movie.
192
I know.
193
Because I heard that Jake was like a method actor.
194
And in the film, he's supposed to be my friend, but he's only pretending to be my friend.
195
So he thought he was only pretending to be his friend.
196
Yeah.
197
And I was amazed by how nice Jake was.
198
Like, when I first met him, I was like, he's one of the greatest people I've ever met.
199
ever met, I love him.
200
And then it dawned on me, I was like, wait a minute.
201
What if he's just pretending?
202
Yeah.
203
He wasn't, they're friends, it's great.
204
Yeah, it's blossomed into this beautiful bromance.
205
Beautiful.
206

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud β€” like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency β€” making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
