For what probably is her first major speech in an arena this size, I think CBG19 did a fantastic job.
Amazing job! She's awesome
Gay
seriously, mad respect
@@thirtymilehigh 😂😂😂I still liked it.😄
Wow! Didn't know CBG19 did a TEDxtalk. She killed it!
Tedx
Romar Marcos Mashed up the scene!
This speech is basically everything I believe in and fight for... More power to Comic Book Girl 19!!
💜
This has to be, beyond shadow of a doubt, the best motivational TEDx speech EVER!!!
Man, tough crowd! She killed it though! Great talk
This girl here is the reason why I read comic books and she's the example of what's good on the internet today! When you do what to do with passion, it shows and it captivates people. I love you ComicbookGirl19!! You are the best!!
Love her, love her speech, love her leather pants.
Still love her, her speech, and her leather pants.
Still love her, her speech, and her leather pants.
Okay.
I also love her, love her speech, love her leather pants.
She's a cosplayer it's what they do . . .
CBG19....why the heck did you not mention this on your channel...didn't even relize she was on tedx
She ain't a showoff , that's why
@@blurryface1923You can mention something you did without being a showoff...
@@blurryface1923 Except with her nsfw calenders.😅
Damn girl, I don't know how this escaped me. I've been watching you since you put out the first GoT history video and I never knew that you did a TED talk.
Awesome stuff, very much what a lot of people out there need to hear.
She looks really sharp in this outfit!
+david stanley how about no
Liam Early If she put the leather on she can take the leather off.Your name is Liam ain't you a man or are you some kind of feminist???
+david stanley I'm just being respectful towards women. Look I apologize some asshole is being a dick towards me. From Metallica's one lyric video. Some cunt there is being an ass. I'm sorry. I need some time to deal with this dick
You enormous douchebag.
she is a he - look at the jaw and shoulders / slim hips
I love Comicbookgirl19 and her hair, always
Very well spoken and so honest. Awesome ted talk! Hope you know you're one bad ass human being.
How am I just finding this!? Awesome!
Audience was pretty bad, but I thought CB19 did quite well for a first talk.
She said a lot without tripping up.
Dyp100 she was really awesome.
Dyp100 people dont respect comics they think is just for kids
Koda 26
anyone who thinks that are wrong.
Heroic characters inspire people,
Make them better.....
Take the character Spider-Man for example, his character has been helping me get through life.
To be honest I wouldn’t know where I’d be without him.
Fantastic talk CBG19, it takes true courage to expose your inner fears and faults to a room full (and a world full) of strangers like that. It is that quality that makes you so engaging and easy to relate to. Self discovery is key to life and not everyone gets there. I have similar feelings about my youth and despite having a fair deal of success in what I do I often feel kind of a fraud. When I realised in my late 20s that my strengths were a direct result of my weaknesses I found that happiness. I suspect the same is true for you - I've never met a true artist who isn't a bit Peter Parker!
Man I remember watching you debate who would win in fight between The Avengers and The Justice League in 2012 and have been watching your videos every since. I would have never imagine that you would have blossomed in the the awesome person that you are today. Keep inspiring others to not be afraid of being themselves.
I've always identified with Nightcrawler. He's arguably the most shunned and discriminated character due to his appearance, but he always proves to be the better person. Plus I enjoy joking around and I'm rarely caught being serious.
I love how contradictory he is. In that he quite literally looks like a demon, yet is considerably pious. I addition to looking as he does and trying to imagine how serious such a person would be having gone through what he had as a result... yet he's a fun loving jokester who basically only takes death, love and faith seriously.
I always identified with Rogue because although she looks normal, she is anything but. She cannot be touched by anyone, therefore is untouchable. Whenever I'm touched, it feels bad due to past experiences, so I avoid touching people. (Handshakes, hugs, etc.) I look normal, but in my head I am constantly screaming, which Rogue deals with as well. Nightcrawler and Rogue are foster siblings.
Omg didn’t realize she did a Ted talk. Even off her channel she is a very good public speaker. Gets her point across really well. Love her.
Years ago someone told me i was a "Colossus" yet i always wanted to be a "Gambit", I began to see my "Colossus" as i read about him and added a "Beast" with a hint of "Cyclops".....Life can be so much more fun when we use tools that we understand.
You are a hero... With powers similar to Katniss and Daenerys.... And It's so easy to feel connected to you.. And to everything you said in this tedx talk..
That was brave and wonderful! Thank you 19! Those are my archetypes too! Just brilliantly concise, I know Ted lectures are hard, she nailed it. I can relate and I guess that's why I like her so much. Powerful.
I love CBG19 Smart, Funny, beautiful ( mind, body, and sole ) and always pushes acceptance of yourself and others without being heavy handed about it.
Wow, color me impressed. Given the title, I did not expect such a good TED Talk, and she's easy on the eyes.
Keep the good work comicbookgirl19 and being the unique and thoughtful person you are!!
I LOVE YOU, COMICBOOKGIRL19!!!!
You go Girl ! You owned that stage. A very intelligent and insightful speech :)
OMG CBG19 looked like an actual superhero! More power to her
I love cgb19 show, and her ideas and talks on being better and more true to myself, they have really helped and I've really learned a lot and grown.
Superb you using your own words to make people understand the message is never easy in front of any group even more in those in very smart groups. They heard,understood and admired . Well done young lady CBG19
You did an amazing job. We all fit into our own molds and are meant to be unique.
Amazing presentation! I'm almost in my 40s and you have even inspired ME to make some changes. Great job and the sincerest of thanks to you :)
she just made reading comics a lot more defined I understood the moment she starred comparing charters to herself. this is why I'm a subscriber to Comicbook girl 19 she puts thoughts and feelings to everything in a world lie today you gotta feel
CBG19 is so rad! love her and love everything she has put out. rock on, girl!
Very insightful seeing ComicBookGirl19 out of her ComicBookGirl19 element. I see a very intelligent woman, with a lot to say, a lot to feel, and a lot to figure out. Except for the woman part, I can totally relate. She is a Peter Parker. I can respect that. I think most reasonable people can.
I couldn't agree with you more, Christopher. ComicBookGirl19 is an inspiration!
Very Well Done, comicbookgirl19 ! An excellent view of self-actualization via the world of comic book characters!
She is a very emotional person and beautiful.
I have been watching her show for some time but this is the first time I have scene this. Good Job CB19.
They edited out Robot's comments.
Been a fan of comic book girl for a while and only just seen her ted talk.
You go girl. Loved it
I truly hope that she knows how smart and beautiful she has made herself.
Greg Hansen right?

I've been watching CBG19's videos a lot lately and I have decided that I am going to read comic books from now on. I've really liked a lot of the superhero movies that have come out, and I feel a sense of power in identifying with these strong characters!
I remember reading somewhere that reading fiction actually makes you smarter in some ways, for much of the reasons that CBG19 stated.
she is fucking awesome
You got that right brother.
Comics can reflect the best or worse of ourselves and inspire us to be better and more like we really are
You are an outstanding speaker with endless charisma. I love your GOT on You Tube and you helped me understand the series with depth and detail.
I hope everyone could hear this heartfelt speech, so on target. Keep up the great work and your creativity and genius mind will only get better with time.
What an amazing talk by CBG19!!
Outfit on point and words of genius
Engineers. After reading through the comments and seeing people against the archetype I feel that as an engineer myself should also post some context that despite this also going through the same thing.
So yeah fitting into the archetype I'm an introverted, logical, INTJ nerd who likes order in life. No surprises, nothing to catch me off guard out of fear that I will fail. However living this logical and orderly life it came on a realization for me that compared to others, I have no friends. Other than a single best friend, was not social enough to make more. It was fine in high school, however when that single friend moved away for university, and I entered into engineering, it then became a problem. All humans desire some level of social interaction.
And to achieve mine I turned to a comic book (manga) character.
Fair from Tubasa Reservoir Chronicles. I admired his outgoing, upbeat and optimistic personality. I wanted to be like him. And so for the past couple years have adopted his personality. It was not too hard as our baseline opinions matched, but by trying to follow this fictional character I learned how to reach out to people, how to be outgoing and happy. And people were drawn to this.
Here is the plot twist. As I continue to read Fai's story in the manga, I learn that he and I were the same. That just as I had put on a face to gain this new better personality, so did this character, Fai. It was a sad twist of irony, when I realized the face I was wearing was the same one as the person that I admired. We were both doing it to achieve the same goal, friends... And to accomplish this, we smile...
Everyone has their problems, one type not more than others. Just as you see someone who may be 'strict and boring' does not mean that they want to change an try something differently. Just as someone who is happy and outgoing might not be truly so...
So awesome. This Woman has inspired me so much. Seriously.
Just great. Well done, CBG19.
i totally get her.....i've done this for years......your rock CBG19
My name is Francisco from Brazil. Recently I have whatching your videos and every day I love more and more your videos. I identify myself with you.
Congratulations for lecture. Great!
Beautiful speech, appreciate her sharing.
CBG19, you are f'n awesome! I've been a fan for years, but this speech has made me really understand how amazing you are.
I think the audience loves her. And she did amazing for a ted talk. I hope she does more.
What a great message and so true on so many levels! I discovered the X-men in 1984 at a time in my life when I really needed them. The inner strength of Kurt Wagner and Peter Rasputin showed me that I was just as strong on the inside as well. That helped me to overcome and survive the health issues in my childhood that threatened my life as I was in and out of the hospital.
I feel enlightened. Thanks CBG19!
Great job! I teach youth comics workshops (after school, summer program, and foster care) and this celebration of self is exactly what I hope my kids get out of their experience.
MORE TALKS LIKE THIS PLEASE!!
First of all I wish I had a friend like Comicbookgirl19 growing up. If I had a fearless comic loving badass by my side it wouldn't have taken 20+ years of trial and error for me to finally find and love my true self. Second, she seems like one of those people you just want to sit down with and discuss everything and anything over tea.
She's really super, so smart and charismatic. I had never really noticed that I have been taking inspiration from fictional characters my whole life and I consider it a very therapeutic and inspirational thing to develop your personality and self-confidence.
COmicbook girl did TED! Whoohoo! I love her channel, very impressed with the speach. Well done!
this one was golden!
I love CBG19!!!! Not only as a nerd myself, but I have 7 nieces and she (other than the potty mouth) is an awesome role model for young girls as far as being yourself and accepting others for who they are
Great job CBG, really engaging narrative, well done.
I love this woman, I am subscribed to her channel.
Inspiring, love her!
This was amazing and uncanny . Quentin Quire would be proud!
She was awesome
Such a GREAT message
one of the better ted talks there's been. really well done.
Very insightful talk cbg19! I think you have an excellent take on the importance comic books and other creative media can have on the formation of one's self-understanding.
I feel very inspired to pursue my dream to be a writer , thank for helping out cbg19
i love her so much
I love her TH-cam channel.
Gorgeous woman, awesome talk. Love her!
I guess there is no way i can hide it anymore...i Love you ComicBookGirl19! I will fangirl you forever! :)
Awesome talk!
Speechless, well done.
Awesome! Been following CBG19 for a few years now on TH-cam and did not know she was doing a Ted Talk.
You Go CBG19, This was great!
Very inspiring! Thank You!
Great talk ... CBG 19, never give up and keep looking snazzy doing so!
such a great person, awesome reviews
Yes to X-Men! I've always had the biggest crush on Gambit, have always appreciated that there are SO many individual stories, and have always enjoyed the Truth-to-Life-Lessons taught through the stories ~ Professor X would have been the best teacher for everyone. The both-gender-importance idea has also been a fantastic part -- kind of the same reason I loved to play "Mortal Kombat" - and then named my first son after the ninja, Rain. Keep doing what you're doing, CB19 - you fill our heads with fantasies, for sure, but many of us can relate and feel a connection, which is one of the best parts of Life!
She looks so adorable & cute.I wish her further success.
Just watching this now.....BUT I feel like I really needed to watch this video 4 years ago. Good Stuff
ComicbookGirl19 is AWESOME!!! :)
I really enjoyed this talk, I feel it elegantly explains a lot of the love people have for fiction and how it can shape and guide us. A lot of talks introduce us to things we may or may not experience in life. I think this one, shares wisdom that can empower the story of life and each one of us in that story :)
Awesome lecture, really inspiring. CBG19 rocks!
Inspiring... go Comicbookgirl19!!
i am truly speachless am i still a man if i said you brought tears to my eyes
i am speechless
I love it, great talk CBG19, i dig your perspective.
Woo ComicBookGirl19 is amazing
Think Im girl crushing on her mind abt now!!! Love you CBG19
So happy to see this. I really was expecting art slides behind her as she talked. With her design/art background, I'm sure she would have chosen some good ones.
However, watching 15 minutes without *any* background, maybe that was a choice, to keep the focus on her words...
(This video was great! However I'd like to see her invited back and use graphic art slides next time.) (mostly just an excuse to see her talk again)
shes so cool, Love her.
I just love CBG19!
I agree as well she's a natural up there
CBG19! We love you!!
Well said CBG19. Kudos.
A lot of sense being spoken here.Well doneCBG19.
Awesome job CBG19... When I grow up, I wanna do a TED Talk too!
Really great talk CBG killed it.
