00:00:00 In this section of the video, the conversation between the host and the guest begins with their introduction and their previous encounter at a comic book convention where they talked about Lego Dimensions. The guest reveals that he was able to finish the game entirely and that he enjoyed the gameplay and the unique concept of using physical figures in the game. While the game did not perform well commercially, the guest thinks that Lego could have created a sequel by expanding their selection of licensed franchises in the game. The conversation then shifts to the guest's personal collection of unopened Lego sets that he receives as gifts or purchases and stores in boxes.
00:05:00 In this section, the speaker discusses his interest in Lego sets and how he sometimes purchases limited edition sets with the hope that they may increase in value over time. He talks about the challenge of finding space to display his Lego sets and how, over time, the sets can become less stable and lose their appeal. Nevertheless, he enjoys the process of building the sets and finds it a fun way to spend his time, particularly when he can watch a television show or movie at the same time. He also discusses his experience creating Lego portraits for a company and the difficulty of working with the tiny pieces. Overall, he sees Lego sets as a fun hobby, but not something that he collects seriously.
00:10:00 In this section, Ruslan Usachev discusses the popularity of LEGO and the concept behind LEGO Ideas, where fans can submit their own designs and if enough interest is garnered, LEGO will produce the set.

He also touches on the complications surrounding licensing for certain sets and the worthiness of creating a licensed set versus an original design.
00:15:00 In this section, the speaker talks about seeing a Lego set in Turkey that was related to an LGBT sitcom. He finds it interesting that such a set exists in a Muslim country and wonders why it hasn't been released in Russia. He also briefly discusses the concept of investing in Lego sets, pointing out that it takes some effort and space to store the sets, and that it's not a guaranteed profitable investment.
00:20:00 In this section, Ruslan Usachev discusses the value of collectibles such as limited-edition PlayStation 4 consoles and how their worth does not necessarily increase over time as newer products are released. He also talks about his own collection, including a blue PlayStation 4 that he hesitates to use out of fear of damaging its collector's value. He acknowledges that while these items may hold sentimental value and bring back positive memories, their purpose is to be used and enjoyed rather than stored away.
00:25:00 In this section of the video, the guest talks about the power of scent association, where certain smells can trigger specific memories or emotions. He mentions how a hotel soap triggered nostalgia for him, and suggests intentionally using the power of smell to create positive associations with certain experiences, such as using the same fragrance when traveling. The conversation then shifts to discussing box office numbers for movies like Avatar, with the guest speculating about the financial success of the long-awaited sequel.
00:30:00 In this section, Ruslan Usachev discusses the popularity of the movie Avatar in Russia, questioning the reported box office numbers, and suggesting that people may have seen it because of the lack of alternatives. He also gives his opinion on the Marvel and DC cinematic universes, stating that he finds them to be becoming too childlike and lacking in substance, with the latest films being monotonous and formulaic.
00:35:00 In this section, the speaker discusses his expectations for the Marvel Universe's TV shows and how they've fallen short. Whilst he enjoyed some of the earlier shows such as Wandavision, he became disillusioned with the series as they didn't seem to lead anywhere that made them significant to the rest of the Marvel storyline. The speaker also expressed his hope for Marvel to explore other genres in their films and TV shows, as opposed to them all being primarily action movies, suggesting that it would be interesting to see Marvel create romance or horror-themed movies or shows.
00:40:00 In this section, the speaker discusses how some Marvel and DC movies and series are marketed as horror or spy films, but end up being more focused on comedy and relationships. The speaker mentions WandaVision and Miss Marvel as examples of series that experiment with different genres and styles, but ultimately may not appeal to all audiences. The Miss Marvel series, in particular, is described as being aimed at a younger audience and featuring more visual effects and elements to attract a fresh audience. However, the speaker notes that it may not be as appealing to adults who are more accustomed to the typical Marvel movies and series.
00:45:00 In this section, the YouTuber discusses his thoughts on the recent trend of superhero movies and TV shows. He mentions that while he enjoyed the recent series "WandaVision" and "The Falcon and The Winter Soldier", he finds the popular show "Venom" to be more geared toward a younger audience, lacking fully developed plot elements. He also notes that DC has been experimenting with its superhero movies and TV shows more, which makes for a more interesting and diverse range of content. However, some reboots may fall short of expectations, as evidenced by "Guardians of the Galaxy 3", which he feels could suffer from a lack of creativity as Taika Waititi only added visual and character improvements to the script rather than contributing to its writing.
00:50:00 In this section, Ruslan Usachev discusses the Marvel movie franchise and specifically focuses on the Thor series. He expresses his opinions on the character development of Thor throughout the movies and how it has evolved. He also touches upon the humor added to the movies and how it has impacted the overall feel of the series. Additionally, he comments on the appearance of Chris Hemsworth's real-life daughter in the fourth Thor movie and how it was a bizarre and unnecessary addition to the film.
00:55:00 In this section, the speaker discusses the casting of Marvel and DC movies and how some actors seem to perfectly fit the role, while others are questionable. He brings up the idea that Marvel can potentially use a single actor to play different variations of a particular villain, similar to how Tom Hiddleston played different versions of Loki, creating an interesting acting challenge for the actor while providing a fresh take on the villain. The speaker also praises the acting skills of Russian actor, Jonathan Majors, especially his role in the upcoming Marvel movie, "Quantum Mania."

He also touches on his desire for more experimental games and mentions two recent games, Return of the Obra Dinn and Disco Elysium, that have captured his attention and made him realize that he may have been missing out on games in the past.
01:20:00 In this section, Ruslan Usachev talks about how he used to ignore Fortnite, thinking that the campaign mode in shooting games was the main focus, but he realized that games like Fortnite are more enjoyable when played with friends.
