Storm: "Logan, I can control the weather, Kurt can teleport and Illyana's a demon queen. It's a little too late to start saying we can't have magic." Wolverine: "Shit, that's a good point."
Literally my favourite Xmen of all time. Was happy to see her get her big screen debut in the New Mutants, and I thought Anya Taylor-Joy embodied the character perfectly. Hope Marvel keeps her on and doesn't recast her. Despite all the panning I actually enjoyed most of The New Mutants movie 🤷♂️.
@@matthewschwartz6607 If you’re talking about the twins I’m pretty sure that’s another girl I can’t remember her name on the top of my head rn Natalie Alyn something
What a great storyline! The MCU should recreate this in a movie series. Magik is Marvel’s ”Raven, ” She has dark powers and can transform herself into a demonic entity. Magik is an underrated character.
First off: this breakdown was pure 🔥 🔥! Second: Magyk's story is complex and crazy bc it REALLY covers a lot of bases on an inter-demensional character. Like ALL across her story arcs that you wove together really well. Third: I legitmately feel like I remember a different version of Illyana Rasputin/ Magyk Darkchylde
That issue is heartbreaking but its some of the worst X-Men art I’ve ever seen, that rough in between period after Lee/Silvestri and before Madureira came
Soooooooo good. Illyana has always been my favorite mutant but in my mid twenties I stopped following her story, I’m now 54. This video brought me up to date and for that I’m grateful.
I love Illyana so much, She doesn't get the respect she deserves. Though with seeing her more after House of X and Powers of X . She'll obviously have part in Xof Swords giving how good the X books are now that may change. As new people are introduced to her.
Yeah Magik/Dark Child was one of my favorite characters. I liked her complexity. I hated that they killed her off then brought her back. I didn't like how she was written or the story line they used to bring her back
After watching new mutants, I couldn't get her character out of my my head. Even tho they simplified her character A LOT anya did an amazing job portraying her. Best part of the movie
OMG That was the BEST shizz. The entire Magik series took place between 2 frames of a New Mutants issue. She goes in to a hole as a kid and in the next frame, her brother pulls her out of the hole as a young adult. What happened? Well they wrote a whole 4 issue mini series to explain. So dope. SO much has happened since I stopped collecting them, thanks for filling that in for me. Also can we just acknowledge the GENIUS that is Bill Sienkiewicz's New Mutants art for a minute? I mean really. Masterwork.
You have an amazing ability to distill complex storylines. Even though I’ve read all of this stuff, it makes more sense after you cover it. Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks for condensing that mixey, messy history of Iliana. I started reading X-men comics after she died from the legacy virus, Magneto ripped the adamantium out of Wolverine, Infinity Watch was a thing and later on the Phalanx Saga happened. I think it’s awesome that these stories that we enjoyed during our childhood continue to bring joy and fun to this day.
I loved Magick the character. Her 4 part limited series is still one of my favorite series. When she became a member of the New Mutants, was a time of great joy for me then became a time of great sadness. The artwork in the comics went from excellent artwork of Chris Clarmont to the crap we find at 13:24 with the introduction of Magus. I tried to press on but the artwork was so bad it destroyed the story. I dropped the title because of the artwork, then a few months later I stopped collecting and reading Marvel comics all together because the artwork in most of the titles I read took a serous nose dive.
This was sooo so good!!!! I really wish “The New Mutants” movie was a series instead of a film! It was honestly a great movie but soooo Swiss cheezy because there were so many plot holes and gaps in the storyline ect and it would have done so much better as a series!!! Anna Taylor joy played Magik so well!!!
This is such a wonderfully-detailed story-telling of one of my most fave mutants of all time. My last name! Yup! That's how I got it from. I love Illyana Rasputin. Thank u so much for this in-depth backstory of her. 🌹
Thank you so much for putting together an easy to learn story book origin for those who are new to the comic medium. Most only go by what they are introduce to thur cartoons and movies, and if they saw the New Mutants movie then they like the creator of the comic characters are gravely disappointed
This was amazingly enjoyable really appreciate it I'm a lil bit of ADHD so my mind can't stay focused long enough to read the comics surprisingly I could stand still for the audio version
The New Mutants was my gateway into the X-Men. My favorite NM's were Magik, Mirage, Warlock, and oddly enough Cipher. I think the complex friendship between Dani and Illyana/ Warlock and Doug is was really put them in my top spots. In terms of Cipher I always felt he wasn't utilized right.
thank you so much for making this video. i can't wait to read more about the stepping disks from the original work the writers had gotten the idea from.
I played midnight suns and she was by far the most compelling character. It actually hurt me emotionally to interact with her and introspect upon my own darkness and pain. Beautiful character
I've always been a fan of her but I never knew all of this. I just knew he from the new mutants comics and the avengers vs x-men comics. Which I thought it was crap how easily they took her down on that one but whatever. Thanks for all the great info. 🙂
@Zahir Datoo I love how obvious normies like you try to use that excuse to justify a bad or just Meh comic book movie. The Dark Phoenix Saga was a comic book story as well and yet both normies and "comic book purist" alike hated it, both times! Fact is, this is a movie based off a comic book property.So, If you're not going to put the effort into doing it right you shouldn't do it at all. This movie was a blatant cash grab in an effort to court the YA/ twilight audience. It's not a good comic book movie or horror. It goes beyond not pleasing anyone. This movie leaves people with a roaring case of blue balls. Instead of turning off your mind with crap entertainment like this, do like I suggested, stimulate your mind and go read the actual "Demon Bear Saga."
Christopher Hoyt But I personally thought that Anya-Taylor Joy still did a great job with her performance as the character. The origins may not have been completely accurate to the comics (which they probably changed it so that it could fit into the story) but I felt Anya really embodied the character perfectly.

I was always confused about her return. Is the one that came back the same one that died in Uncanny X-Men #303? Or is this one from another dimension/ the past?

" - So I was bitten by a radioactive spider, what about you?
- ... You got 25 minutes? "
The authors were on drugs when writing Magik's story
😂🤣🤣🤣
You think? Must have been the same ones writers used when making The Clone Saga
@@csab8642 no he meant good drugs
Not bleach
But at least Ben Reilly came out of it. that was good
Fairly sure this was in the 70s EVERYONE was on drugs
must have been the same ones that wrote Wanda´s
I'm sad they didn't just give Magik a solo origin film, instead of the mediocre New Mutants film...
Maybe not yet
ya and also anya taylor joy being the actor that will be nice
@Chris Hrabe that shit was mediocre for the most part. magik was the only worthy scenes
Yes.a independent movie would be cool
@@Nirvezz I liked the movie, but my favorite scenes were the scenes with Anya as Magik 🌚
wtf her backstory could be an entire series itself... i was on the edge of my seat the whole time she seems really well written. so much detail
It was! Check out Magik #1-4 if you have not.
@@cecilDisharoonyeah but that short story was just her time in limbo. Evrything else could be a whole tv season with the rest of her story
@@cecilDisharoon SO good !! I wanna read it again nowadays.
It was an entire series itself.
@@cecilDisharoon that what's the first comic book I read back in 2020,so good.
In New Mutants, I love that she’s part mutant, part demonic sorceress and a cool bitch
Wow that new movie they made REALLY simplified her character ALOT lol
Yea in theory they could make an entire franchise behind her separate from marvel that's how deep her story is
@@lawrencemalone1900 yes that true
@@lawrencemalone1900 I would love to see that franchise
This legit could be a full series. I did not know how cool Magik is. Marvel Rivals reminded me she existed and she’s so cool..
Wolverine : So... What her mutant abilities.
Storm : Magic of course.
Wolverine : wait that illegal.
Me: so she's basically a witch
Storm: "Logan, I can control the weather, Kurt can teleport and Illyana's a demon queen. It's a little too late to start saying we can't have magic."
Wolverine: "Shit, that's a good point."
Wow, that's a heck-of-an origin story.

Wasn’t she in the show The Gifted, too?

Lol@@WinchesterxNL
I brought the issue where she died in 94 and was greatly saddened by her tragic death. Thank you for the update of Magik. I'm glad she's back
That issue is heartbreaking but its some of the worst X-Men art I’ve ever seen, that rough in between period after Lee/Silvestri and before Madureira came
Shes technically not back its more like a clone that just has all her memories.
Illyana is my most favorite of the mutants besides Jean Grey.
1st is Dani, 2nd is magik, 3rd is Rhane
of the New Mutants, Sunspot is my favorite, Then Magik more so because of personality and not power.
EZ.
Jean Grey is my favorite as well! Hopefully i'll like Illyana too. This is my first time hearing about her. XD
Yeeah mine too!
Here we are watching Magick's origin story due to us playing her in Marvel Rivals.
PRESENT
I don't even play at her. I just wanted to know her lore lol
Facts
Count me in
I loved her in New Mutants and comic wise the fact she was part of the Exinction team and Phoenix 5 is impressive.
She’s even more badass than i originally thought
Who's here after marvel rivals?
Me ola
Had to learn more about my fav dps!
Me lol, I love magik her combos are so good.
Try and get the og new mutant books she was in lads.
Too bad she needs a buff
Soooooooo good. Illyana has always been my favorite mutant but in my mid twenties I stopped following her story, I’m now 54. This video brought me up to date and for that I’m grateful.
I adored her as a kid in the 80's, thanks for the memories.
Move forward in faith and joy
She’s been one of my favorites for so long, glad I decided to look into her backstory more
I love Illyana so much, She doesn't get the respect she deserves. Though with seeing her more after House of X and Powers of X . She'll obviously have part in Xof Swords giving how good the X books are now that may change. As new people are introduced to her.
Yeah Magik/Dark Child was one of my favorite characters. I liked her complexity. I hated that they killed her off then brought her back. I didn't like how she was written or the story line they used to bring her back
She conquered and ruled a hell dimension! She should be at least Goblin Queen level in power even without her mutation.
Agreed she is such a badass in tbe xmen comics right now
She’s my ultimate X-men favorite. I mean, she conquered Limbo and even became sorceress supreme
This backstory gave me chills.
Illyana is so underrated
I'm here to learn about Magik since she's in Marvel Rivals. 👀
After watching new mutants, I couldn't get her character out of my my head. Even tho they simplified her character A LOT anya did an amazing job portraying her. Best part of the movie
Dude, this is an epic on its own. I didn't know her backstory was so invested. This is a whole DnD campaign
Magik has slowly became one of my favorite X-men for sure.
Damn I didn't know Majiks origin story was so crazy
This channel is honestly amazing and underrated. Please keep up the phenomenal work!

SHE IS SO COOL!😈
SHE IS SO COOL !!😈
That actually happens in Uncanny X-Men #160, Illyana doesn’t show up in the New Mutants until issue #14 I believe
And by the time she shows up in New Mutants she’s already been to Limbo and grown
@@Junketsuadidas you're totally right! I remember now. It *was* UXM. oh gawd. the 160's.... wasn't the brood in the 160's somewhere?
This was awesome! Now that I’m aware of her backstory,thanks to you, majik is certainly a new fave of mine. She’s a badass
You have an amazing ability to distill complex storylines. Even though I’ve read all of this stuff, it makes more sense after you cover it.

You do *really* good work, I've been loving this channel.

Wonderful video about Magik !
Thank you for this Awesome breakdown of the Origins and Life of my 4th favorite X-Woman ❤🖤🤘🏾🤘🏾
This was bad ass, This needs its own movie.
Literally
Maining magik in rivals, thanks g
thank you so much for making this video. i can't wait to read more about the stepping disks from the original work the writers had gotten the idea from.
I just got obsessed with her thanks for everything
Damn dude. That's just crazy.
Loved the explanation of this kudos to you👍🏾🏆🥇❤
Thanks so much this is very in-depth and it really opened my eyes to the complex cool history of magik
Great extensive research, phenomenal video!
Wow they really thought all of that for only one character. Watching this made Ilyana my favorite
Came here to learn about my main #marvelrivals
They’d have to give her a series. I understand why her stint in new mutants was so short.
Well damn, thanks for the explanation 😀, I love it!!!
Here after maining her in marvel rivals 🫡
Yoooo I be slicing and dicing too!! DarkChild!!!
Same!
Real
With u there brother
Same fellas
I don't care what nobody says I like your channel and the voice it's creator in your own little way
I'm using your videos to brush up on some characters for a fanfic campaign for the Marvel Legendary game, so... Thank you.
this video was awesome! thanks
It's a very dark origin, with Magik as a young teen straight up murdering both Ororo and Kitty.
Great episode ⭐🔥
This was such a good video!! I didn’t know all these details so thank you! Her story is amazing.
I played midnight suns and she was by far the most compelling character. It actually hurt me emotionally to interact with her and introspect upon my own darkness and pain. Beautiful character
I like how you say armor
This was a really good and informative video.
Though how he pronounced Armor is a little strange
Its actually eldridge armor !
I like to see an origin of Killmonger and/or Sunspot.
Just use wiki
I've always been a fan of her but I never knew all of this. I just knew he from the new mutants comics and the avengers vs x-men comics. Which I thought it was crap how easily they took her down on that one but whatever. Thanks for all the great info. 🙂
Lol this video is going to get alot of new viewers..... yes iam here cause of marvel rivals
I like your narration. Even tho it's a little slow.
....Holy shit I thought characters like Storm and Cyclops had slightly convoluted origins.
I know haha, that was a lot of comic shit to process
*Complicated
It's not the same, not even synonims either
I love listening to these while I draw! Thanks :)
That was great thank you!
This is what everyone should watch before New Mutants movie.
I love her backstory 👀
No, people should not watch the New Mutants movie. It is a wanna be horror/superhero movie with a thin X-men skin just like all the other movies.
