it's minority report again but with a superhero twist.the thing is once you become aware of your future its probability of still occurring drops dramatically. punishment should come after the crime not before
Fer Zum at this point I'm begging for a reboot of sorts from marvel. Honestly, 90% of their titles are garbage now. I used to love nearly all their stuff and be a huge fanboy, but now i favour DC comics far more. I want to read about classic characters, like Tony Stark, not the two new iron man/woman. I understand they introduce these new characters which is great but don't get rid of classic characters or just change them up completely like Peter Parker who now is more of a tony stark character with his own company. And why on gods earth did the merge all the universes in secret wars?! For example, Miles being THE spiderman in his own universe is far better than having Peter, miles, gwen as well as many others all spiderman on one universe. Vent over.
Seriously. Replying to both your and and F00KIN N00TIN's comments. First of all, how in the fuck are they gonna kill Bruce Banner, AKA the Hulk, with a damn arrow? I know he wasn't supposed to be able to turn into Hulk at the time, but hell, he was halfway through getting his transformation back again. In reality, he was only killed off because, just like the last Civil War, Marvel didn't want the outcome to be that whichever team he was on won. In ANY other storyline, he would have just overridden the no-transformation thing and then when attention feel back on him, it would show his eyes glowing neon green, then he would say some line,turn into Hulk and start beating whoever shot or attacked him to a pulp. I mean, realistically, Banner would never just die from an arrow. The just had him die for the purposes of the story. They missed a great opportunity, too. They could have him get pretty pissed and go off against Blue Marvel, like how he fought Sentry in WWH after the original Civil War. Blue Marvel would be a great opponent for him too, because at first he could be shown being beaten half to death by Blue, who is muchhh more powerful and strong than a baseline Hulk, and then he could be shown getting really angry and laying Blue out.
Grim Lock Exactly it's like how are you going to allow someone as powerful as Blue Marvel to be on one side without having someone to match him on the other? Imagine the Hulk just running through one team and they all just struggle to stop him as well. The fucking carnage that every Hulk fan loves but no they decide to make the Hulk a fuckboi like amadeus cho
Seriously! I mean, you saw what happened to Luke Cage and Nova. Why would they even have Luke go up against Blue? Its just stupid! Blue Marvel is basically a black, slightly less powerful Sentry, depending on who you ask. And they are going to put him against a character that can't even stand up to a freshly turned Hulk? Just bad writing. I do think what they did, showing Nova blast him and him not be affected, was a good way to show his power level to readers who don't know much about him though. But really, having BM on one side and having no good antithesis to really oppose him on the other side was just bad writing. I mean, BM already isn't that well known generally, why hurt him even more by having him in a crappy, poorly matched, barely-worth-penciling-in fight where basically all he does is knock the shit out of Luke Cage and then get blasted, and subsequently chase Nova?
+William do you mean like in comics? Because I've always though he could do some Morgan freeman type shit and explain the origin on the universe and stuff
really didn't like this story, but i had to finish it. what sucks though is that it got pushed back so much that everyone knew what was going to happen before it ended.
What always strikes me in these confrontations is none of the superheroes never approach it calmly. They never approach it in a non-threatening, explanatory way. What would have happened with Banner if Danvers and Stark came in and said we have some info we need to share with you. We are afraid, they would say, and we need your help to reassure us. Now granted when confronting Thanos little short of tactical nukes is SOP, but in talking to Ulysses stay calm and keep it calm. In emergency situations, you want everyone staying focused but calm. Doctors and nurses NEVER run in the ER; too much potential for further injury or mayhem. They walk....with purpose. When talking to suicidal people, you are calm and even toned. That's what the "right stuff" is with airline pilots, don't panic and solve the problem.....as many times as it takes.
@@jackkanovysac4998 @Jack Kanov Ysac Not sure if you're joking or not, but Rob mentioned Captain America and he mentioned Spider-man separately. There was no mention of anything about them together. The title of the video is "Spider-Man kills Captain America" but there's no mention of that at all.
Can we get Bendis to stop writing crossovers or teams? He's a okay writer, but things that require continuity and diverse character voices isn't really his thing.
Let's be honest with ourselves: Civil War 1 wasn't a good comic either. It was great in concept, but its overall execution left something to be desired.
I have to disagree. I loved the first Civil War story. Primarily because the stakes felt really and the conflict was genuine. My only problem is that they made Iron Man a little too aggressive. But i'm curious, what exactly didn't you like about the story ?
Hannibal Rasberry I never really felt torn between choosing sides in the first (or second) Civil War event (Tony Stark being a mega-asshole REALLY didn't help). All the civilians in the story felt unbelievably ungrateful to all the heroes in the story out of nowhere (despite said heroes saving their sorry hides time and time again for DECADES from multiple supervillains big and small, cataclysmic events and the like). And the ending was very anti-climatic. That ending was no bueno. This story left with most people HATING Tony Stark WITH A PASSION (so much so that Marvel had to do a "soft reboot" of sorts with his character by the time the Siege event was occurring), and it should not have been that way. This story made it very apparent that the people siding with the "Pro-Registration" were in the "wrong", while the "Anti-Registration" people were in the "right", which also should not have been that way. Readers should have felt torn between which sides that they should align with like a parent choosing their favourite child. I can say that Captain America Civil War used this concept a little better, but there are still some things that I would have tweaked that I believe would have truly felt like the shit was TRULY hitting the fan and would keep the audience captivated from start to finish.
19:45 if you’re forcing people to register based on the actions of others, you’re punishing them for crimes they have not committed, the principles of Cara danvers and tony stark are the same: restrict individuals freedoms for the greater good. They’re both wrong, and neither of them have merit if you value the basic principle of freedom being the most important value.
Civil War 1 posed a good moral vs logic dilemma, and I respect both sides. Personally I was team Cap. Just like the mutant registration act, many super powered people in Marvel didn't ask for their powers, and many become heroes at their own peril. Basically it was asking people to register to live because they were born a certain way, or accidentally gained powers. The problem is Marvel has some great hackers. How long until a LMD sneaks into SHIELD, and sells the list of super hero identities to the highest bidder. When that happens it's not just the hero, but their lover, or family at risk. They wear masks for a reason. I get the argument that it's dangerous to let a guy with explosion powers walk around. It also ties into the argument here. Do you force people to put themselves potentially in harms way because they can do something, even though they may choose not to use their powers. Do you potentially out them to fear, and ridicule of the populace, or risk of kidnap or death from Hydra wanting to brainwash them into Hydra agents. Then of course if you say no you're imprisoned, like a superhero draft. My solution would be to register, and imprison actual criminals as they commit crimes. Offer benefits to registration, like financial support, or legal help if something goes wrong, but make it optional. Instead Stark went straight, sign up or we beat you down then sign you up regardless.
wow, it feels like "all new all different marvel" is the marvel equivalent to "DC's new 52": the events suck big time, some solo books are fine, and some sagas work (the clone saga 2 is actually decent and i'm enjoying the new daredevil run)... but it's mostly hated. Yeah, i think is the best way to put it.
Also love you and the content you put out don't tell any of the other comic creators out there, because we aren't supposed to pick favorites, but you're my favorite
hello there rob. maybe you could do a video comparing the xmen and avengers jets? I'm curious to know which one has better technology. weapons defensive systems etc.
Andy Skied i have no evidence of this, but im guessing the avengers jets, Beast on the X-men, is studies biological science i believe, Iron Man studies biomechanics and makes military weapons and tech, and Hank Pym, Peter Parker, Black Panther have been on the team before they should have been able to help out Tony with that stuff, then theres forge on the xmen team too, idk but id say Avengers
Hey Rob, what if you made some videos explaining why characters are so popular and stuff? During your Superman videos you explain how he's so great because he's a symbol for hope, he's the perfect hero, he was essentially the first superhero, all that stuff. Could you do videos just focusing on the character and their origins, motivations, and things like that that are essential to the character?
fernando wetherbee the idea of having a minority report situation kicked off in marvel is a good idea but Bendis wasn't the right one clearly from how he'd approached this
I feel like deadpool should be the ending of one of these huge cross overs... like deadpool goes on a monologue to all the super heros telling them don't they realize the irony of what their doing and the parts each one of them is playing really fourth wallish.
Hey Rob! Love your channel, hope you get over the cold quickly. I'd love it if you covered more spiderman material! I just finished reading superior spiderman and its easily one of the best spiderman stories ive read.
Completely off topic subject here... but Rob, would you mind delving into some of IDW's publications? I personally love Transformers and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but all I really want to hear you talk about is the Transformers. The comics are exceptional and I think fans would find them interesting. Thanks!
Rob, Thank you for this. I'm pretty sure I didn't ask of you for this video, but it helps me understand the circumstances of Civil War II and the basis around the conflict. I enjoy watching your videos because they give me a better understanding of what's going on in different comic storylines or among various charaters. Before watching this video, I thought Captain Marvel was wrong in her thinking about Ulysses and his visions. Now, I still think she is wrong but I understand her stance. Again, Thank you, Rob. I greatly appreciate you for the content you produce. I kind of hope that, as my own channel grows and I add more content to it, I'll be as helpful to others as you are to comic book readers.
I love the look on Old Man Logan's face at the 17:43 mark. He looks shocked and concerned on the outside, but deep down he's like "Fuck Banner. Fuck Hulk. and props to my boy Hawkeye"
Rob, i was driving through Louisville Monday around 1am. it felt like i was in silent Hill. fog was so thick, i couldn't see 5ft infront of me. those highways are crazy intricate
Rob, i was driving through Louisville Monday around 1am. it felt like i was in silent Hill. fog was so thick, i couldn't see 5ft infront of me. those highways are crazy intricate. is it always like that? hope you feel better
Hey Rob love all your videos and how succinct you make them. I always hear you bring up philosophy and I LOVE IT !!!!!! I'm an avid reader so if you have any book suggestions please provide me with some. Thanks I appreciate all your work.
26:36 I think I remember Steve Rogers manipulating that situation where that banker lady got arrested, making her look like a Hydra agent. To cause more conflict and distrust among the Avengers by showing Ulysses' visions are inaccurate. But I'm not sure about that.
The good thing about these events is, you look on which side Tony is standing and you can be sure the opposite is the morally more right side. The issue on Captain Marvel's side is that she's taking the visions the wrong way: instead of using them to prepare themselves better, to anticipate, she uses them to do preemptive justice which will never work.
Except Tony IS in the right here. He's willing to use the visions, but he wants to UNDERSTAND how the visions work. Think of it like this: Ulysses got a vision of a woman being a Hydra agent and bombing a place. Marvel took the vision as gospel and had her arrested with no legal grounding for the arrest. Stark would have had her bugged, followed or both, and when the evidence came in, THEN he would have acted. Carol trusted the visions full force, Stark decided the best bet was 'trust, but verify,' which makes a lot more sense when dealing with visions of the future. Any and all visions of the future must be taken as what MAY happen, because the future isn't set in stone and it never can be. Because it IS the future, by its nature, it can be changed
@@Voltra_ Tony didn’t do anything because he didn’t know. Ulysses was only working with Marvel because Marvel trusted his visions. If Stark had been the one who was told, things would have played out differently
For the curious: the technical name for Ulysses's power is "hypercognition" (although it's a really, really advanced form of it, with his unconscious sensory abilities).
Great video! But it seems like once again Marvel is taking an interesting moral question and having one side slide into evil because all these hero stories winds up being good vs evil. You can't have Danvers say "If't is Galactus, we need to be aware of anything above 10% because of his threat level. If it's a Hydra spy it's 95%." or whatever. The idea that there can be different margins of error depending on the circumstances never comes up. We saw this in the first Civil War too. Yes, superheroes should be licenced and trained like doctors and police officers but Stark went way too far.
Yea, Marvel likes to hit us with a moral compass, but I understood with the 1st Civil War, it's just with this one that the reasoning Carol had annoyed the hell outta me.
clever thing that tony should have noticed and pointed out is that that hulk form was framed in such a way that it would be unclear if it was banner hulk or choe hulk
Lol@ the creepy Old Man Logan comment. I totally agree, but I can understand his uber-creepin'. She was the love of his life and he was deeestroyed when she died. This is basically the cornerstone of his heart being dangled before him. It's just too bad all he has may be some kind of GILF status ;)
20:30 if your argument is that freedom isn’t valuable if it leads to self destruction then Cara Danvers is abiding by that logic. What use is allowing people to commit crimes when you can arrest them before it happens, in other words: “what use is freedom if the society decides to destroy itself with it”. If you’re in Tony’s side in civil war, then on principle you should be on captain marvels side. Jeez
Just started reading the new Hulk comic about She-Hulk post Civil War 2. I was looking for something to catch me up on what happened to Bruce Banner- thanks Rob! This was excellent!
I've always believed Marvel was usually better at philosophical conflicts.. be it Mutant Human ( a great running commentary are discrimination for any reason), killing versus non killing, the Armor Wars, Civil Wars, Secret Wars (original and new), and so on. One thing I liked about both Marvel and DC was the fact, with all these super powered individuals around, you had normal (thought at the physical and mental peak of such.. or in some cases just in decent shape) humans holding their own in the super hero communities and how even when losing powers, one could still be a hero (Storm is the biggest example). Then there were conflicts, like between Wolverine and Cyclops over the use of X 23 where Wolverine was protecting her and Cyclops wanting to turn her into his chief assassin... speaking of which... My idea for one of these videos... Wolverine's almost unnatural ability to mentor other's and attract others as well... is it he has pheromones like Draken and just has no control over them that start it.. people see in him someone they can actually trust... animal magnetism... something. he's not the nicest hero or even villain, but he constantly ends up with those needing help one way or another(Kitty Pryde) , or saved by them and having a new side kick (Jubilee)... even the movies showed this with his relationship with Rogue. I mean he could have the catch phrase "I'm the best at what I do and what I do best is being Uncle Logan...".. Next..why his love stories always end tragically... I mean if William Shakespeare lived today he would be working on 'Logan the love Tragedy 321 the ongoing tragic demise of his lovers..."

So replace characters like how Wally West became the flash? Or Dick Grayson became Batman?
But yeah marvel is going through a "phase"
Have they learned nothing from new 52? I would think a company in the same business would learn from another's mistakes not imitate them.
People liked the new fifty two, it just needed time to develop.
I want to see Banner come back and just beat the shit out of Beast and Carol Danvers
The fact they just killed him off and replacement him with a sorry ass excuse of a hulk, made things worse

Before watching this video, I thought Captain Marvel was wrong in her thinking about Ulysses and his visions. Now, I still think she is wrong but I understand her stance. Again, Thank you, Rob. I greatly appreciate you for the content you produce. I kind of hope that, as my own channel grows and I add more content to it, I'll be as helpful to others as you are to comic book readers.
20:00
and what of the concept of Liberty (*not* Freedom)?
I love the look on Old Man Logan's face at the 17:43 mark. He looks shocked and concerned on the outside, but deep down he's like "Fuck Banner. Fuck Hulk. and props to my boy Hawkeye"
Rob, i was driving through Louisville Monday around 1am. it felt like i was in silent Hill. fog was so thick, i couldn't see 5ft infront of me. those highways are crazy intricate
lol Rob. "old man logan creepin on jean is weird... its weird"
You should try Michigan in the winter. Nice crisp, clean and cold air. Good for the lungs and toughen you up.
Rob, i was driving through Louisville Monday around 1am. it felt like i was in silent Hill. fog was so thick, i couldn't see 5ft infront of me. those highways are crazy intricate. is it always like that? hope you feel better
I also live in Kentucky and I was in Florida last week, it was so nice!
Hey Rob love all your videos and how succinct you make them. I always hear you bring up philosophy and I LOVE IT !!!!!! I'm an avid reader so if you have any book suggestions please provide me with some. Thanks I appreciate all your work.
Winter in Kentucky!!?? Haha... bro I live in Buffalo, NY!! Thanks for all u do Rob!! You’re the man!!
26:36 I think I remember Steve Rogers manipulating that situation where that banker lady got arrested, making her look like a Hydra agent. To cause more conflict and distrust among the Avengers by showing Ulysses' visions are inaccurate. But I'm not sure about that.
What about Moon Girl? :D She's smart 12:00 lol man I can't wait to see what they do with her when she's older.
Right? I hope they don’t waste her as a character but luckily she is getting her own show
Did you and Benny decided to make these right now by chance? LOL
You guys made me realize this event is cooler than it sounded in paper
The good thing about these events is, you look on which side Tony is standing and you can be sure the opposite is the morally more right side. The issue on Captain Marvel's side is that she's taking the visions the wrong way: instead of using them to prepare themselves better, to anticipate, she uses them to do preemptive justice which will never work.
Except Tony IS in the right here. He's willing to use the visions, but he wants to UNDERSTAND how the visions work. Think of it like this: Ulysses got a vision of a woman being a Hydra agent and bombing a place. Marvel took the vision as gospel and had her arrested with no legal grounding for the arrest. Stark would have had her bugged, followed or both, and when the evidence came in, THEN he would have acted. Carol trusted the visions full force, Stark decided the best bet was 'trust, but verify,' which makes a lot more sense when dealing with visions of the future. Any and all visions of the future must be taken as what MAY happen, because the future isn't set in stone and it never can be. Because it IS the future, by its nature, it can be changed
@@DavidbarZeus1 1, he did nothing of it; 2, cf. part 2 of what I said
@@Voltra_ Tony didn’t do anything because he didn’t know. Ulysses was only working with Marvel because Marvel trusted his visions. If Stark had been the one who was told, things would have played out differently
what this does,what this does,what this does
MY NAME IS STEVE , TIME TO PLAY THE POWERBALL !!!
Love your explanations keep doing Gods work! ✊🏿
Yoooo I didn’t know you was in Kentucky!! I’m in Louisville..it does suck in the winter lmao
23:00 Lmaoooo the dog
That dog, scared the crap out of me
For the curious: the technical name for Ulysses's power is "hypercognition" (although it's a really, really advanced form of it, with his unconscious sensory abilities).
Great video!
But it seems like once again Marvel is taking an interesting moral question and having one side slide into evil because all these hero stories winds up being good vs evil. You can't have Danvers say "If't is Galactus, we need to be aware of anything above 10% because of his threat level. If it's a Hydra spy it's 95%." or whatever. The idea that there can be different margins of error depending on the circumstances never comes up. We saw this in the first Civil War too. Yes, superheroes should be licenced and trained like doctors and police officers but Stark went way too far.
Yea, Marvel likes to hit us with a moral compass, but I understood with the 1st Civil War, it's just with this one that the reasoning Carol had annoyed the hell outta me.
When reading this America taking a chair to Carol's face was the greatest moment in the event.
I don't know what I prefer, reading comics or watching them get explained on ComicsExplained
AT 14:00 We see what Tony stark meant when he said Hulk and Black Widow play Hide the Zucchini...Its... just...gone
Awesome as always..my golden retriever sounds the same when she dreams lol
The dog moment scared the shit outta me
clever thing that tony should have noticed and pointed out is that that hulk form was framed in such a way that it would be unclear if it was banner hulk or choe hulk
These videos are great!
did you and Benny both plan to do Civil War 2 at the same time or was this an accident because I just watched Benny's Civil War 2 video yesterday.
Lol@ the creepy Old Man Logan comment. I totally agree, but I can understand his uber-creepin'. She was the love of his life and he was deeestroyed when she died. This is basically the cornerstone of his heart being dangled before him. It's just too bad all he has may be some kind of GILF status ;)
20:30 if your argument is that freedom isn’t valuable if it leads to self destruction then Cara Danvers is abiding by that logic. What use is allowing people to commit crimes when you can arrest them before it happens, in other words: “what use is freedom if the society decides to destroy itself with it”. If you’re in Tony’s side in civil war, then on principle you should be on captain marvels side. Jeez
Loved the video, but what did that title have to do with it?
Kentucky does suck in the winter. I am in Louisville. But great video.
Oh man! Been waiting on this one. Thanks, Rob! Happy New Year! #robcorps
ya come to Florida the weather is beautiful down here I recommend Central Florida West Coast side they call it the Nature Coast
Just started reading the new Hulk comic about She-Hulk post Civil War 2. I was looking for something to catch me up on what happened to Bruce Banner- thanks Rob! This was excellent!
haha that dog killed me xD
its weird. in civil war I was on cap side. now on civil war 2 I'm on iron man side
This event will now be known as Carol is a dense leader that never listens to reason.
In Civil War 1 Nick Fury was right when he said this needs to happen but Stark's going about it the wrong way.
"Kentucky sucks in the winter time" he says, after I just come in -45F up here in Canada, haha.
I've always believed Marvel was usually better at philosophical conflicts.. be it Mutant Human ( a great running commentary are discrimination for any reason), killing versus non killing, the Armor Wars, Civil Wars, Secret Wars (original and new), and so on. One thing I liked about both Marvel and DC was the fact, with all these super powered individuals around, you had normal (thought at the physical and mental peak of such.. or in some cases just in decent shape) humans holding their own in the super hero communities and how even when losing powers, one could still be a hero (Storm is the biggest example). Then there were conflicts, like between Wolverine and Cyclops over the use of X 23 where Wolverine was protecting her and Cyclops wanting to turn her into his chief assassin... speaking of which... My idea for one of these videos... Wolverine's almost unnatural ability to mentor other's and attract others as well... is it he has pheromones like Draken and just has no control over them that start it.. people see in him someone they can actually trust... animal magnetism... something. he's not the nicest hero or even villain, but he constantly ends up with those needing help one way or another(Kitty Pryde) , or saved by them and having a new side kick (Jubilee)... even the movies showed this with his relationship with Rogue. I mean he could have the catch phrase "I'm the best at what I do and what I do best is being Uncle Logan...".. Next..why his love stories always end tragically... I mean if William Shakespeare lived today he would be working on 'Logan the love Tragedy 321 the ongoing tragic demise of his lovers..."
Yes Rob! Come down to Miami and chill with your boy!
can you explain blacklighting and the 100 gang so we may have some information about them for the blacklighting TV show
