Chiquita Banana gets fans' wildest takes at Comic-Con

What's your spiciest Comic-Con take? I'd say the smells, I guess. You know, I'm guilty of it myself. I am here with Banana Man at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 to find people's most bananas takes. Are you ready? Let's go. Presented by Chiquita Banana. Likely the best snack ever. All right, I need to know, what is your hottest Comic-Con take? Fantastic Four, the movie isn't going to be good. I'd say the smells, I guess. You know. There's a lot of people. The Marvel panels and fandom are ruining Comic-Con. Let's see some of those moves. All right. What is the best snack when you are on the go? A Chiquita banana. That's the only bananas I will eat, OK? All right, Evie, what is your Comic-Con hot take? My hot take is the best thing ever. What do you think about La Boo Boos? They're the new Beanie Babies, but uglier. That's like, that's like half the reason I come here. The best, gotta have it. At first, I hated it, but now I am loving the idea. If they made a live action Pokemon movie, who should play Ash? Halle Berry. We might have to cut right there. I have to retire. OK. And what is the best video game of the last 10 years? Twilight Princess. The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess. Gandalf, I need to know, what is your Comic-Con hot take? Keep it secret. Keep it safe. So what do you think about Robert Downey Jr. as Dr. Doom? They need some more viewers. They need to bring him back. Hey, recyclables, you know what I mean? Like it and don't like it. Who should play the next Wonder Woman? Bring back Natalie Portman. I definitely don't want Gal Gadot. What is the most overrated movie of all time, all genres, all time? Back to the Future. I gotta go with The Notebook. Twilight. I said what I said. I think, you know, Star Wars, Star Trek, all of this science fiction drivel. What is the most underrated movie then? Revenge of the Sith. Come on. Back to the Future. It's one of the best movies ever made. I don't feel like it gets enough clout. Terminator 2. Valerian and City of a Thousand Planets. Oh, OK. The intro to that movie made me cry. What is the best snack on the go? Obviously the banana. I'm going to say a banana. Banana. Well, if you take a s'more and you wrap it in pita bread and then you deep fry it and let it cool, it becomes a handheld like little slice of fried gold and it fits well into most overhead compartments. Uh, that's a good answer, but I think you're overthinking it a little bit. Ow! Deep fried bananas? Well, simply a snack that will ensure that you shall not pass! I call myself Chiquita Banana, and here I am with the top banana. Chiquita!
