Well, Frank Miller has expressed interest in wanting to write Captain America... but fortunately, Marvel has made it *very* clear that they won't let him touch Cap with a ten mile pole.
Maple Samurai And yet even without Frank Miller's help, Ultimate Captain America says "The "A" doesn't stand for France!". Maybe Miller should be allowed to work in the Ultimate universe.
I think they could have made this work. Say the Ahstma Monster has such severe asthma that normal medicine didn't help him, which made him bitter towards people who could breathe normally. So he makes this suit, goes evil etc. And at the end, it's stated how medication is always evolving, and now he can be treated and doesn't have to be different. It's not perfect, but it'd make him more sympathetic at least.
I would not be that amazed that Captain America was around. He is enchanted soldier sure but it’s not that exiting but still a soldier that could have educating kids as part of job description and he is kind of a mascot for the US military anyway.
KId: "Captain America?! Where the hell did YOU come from?!?" CA: "Oh please, I'm Captain America. I died once and went to Valhalla to fight demons... the only reason I came back is because I'm too awesome to die! I move through the power of badass..."
I remember getting this comic when I was first diagnosed with Asthma back in the early 90s. My brother got Captain America meets The Asthma Monster. I still have both comics somewhere but I do not exactly remember where.
I know this is approximately 50 billion years late, but I felt like noting that Police actually have to store their side arms before going into a jail or prison, and generally only very specific guards within the prison are armed either. That said, they generally are allowed batons either, so...
Indeed it is 100% true that Captain America is too awesome to die and moves through the power of bad ass. Captain America is just that great and everyone should love him.
I like the overall idea of thos PSA, as someone with asthma. It has a much better lesson for children with asthma other than "I DON'T WANT TO BREATHE RIGHT, AHAHA!" I know it's not great that he just did the opposite of what he did last comic, BUT it's a pretty good illustration of what being a STUBBORN asthmatic and not taking your medication can do. Ultimately I think it's a good ending because while its seems dumb and childish, there are a lot of kids who think that exact way, they don't want to appear different and avoid using the medication. The asthma monster STARTING as that kind of villain and then becoming someone who realizes that using the medication would actually help him appear as LESS different is actually a good morale and lesson. At least I think so anyway, I'm sure some ultra anti-pharma person will read this and get upset but this isnt about the profits and morality of bigpharma, this was simply a comment about how I wish there were more asthma PSAs. Maybe the next one can be on how some asthmatic drugs are so quickly rushed out and poorly tested that they cause ones mood to alter, and I dont mean just because of the corticosteroids.
at 7:41, am i the only one who thinks, judging by the artwork and how Captain America is holding his hand, that he is about to pull his pants down and flash himself at those kids? "Hey, kids! Wanna see something traumatising?"
Y'know what would have been much more entertaining and cogent? If the Asthma Monster *TWIST* was WORKING WITH THE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES!!! Not gonna happen in a PSA comic, I know, but still, wouldn't that make more sense?
I do have to give them credit for having sensible PSA material about dealing with asthma, but a villain themed after asthma who specializes in simulating symptoms of it? Such wasted potential with the teleportation and gas-gun... I feel like they ought to take that list of 10 worst Batman villains and expand it for other super villains.
albuterol; the common medicine used for asthma, DOES NOT stop you from allergies (which if I heard you correctly is what the aller-gun gives to its victims). I have asthma and allergies so I know how it works. I use benadryll when I have allergies, or a nap.
I remember that up to this point, I skipped the story segments in your videos. But I saw the glitch and wanted to know what was up with that. That's when I began to take a greater interest in your other videos, not just the ones about Batman or Superman.
4:47 [Groot grows a cocoon of branches to cover his friends] *Rocket Raccoon:* No, Groot! You can't! You'll die! Why are you doing this? Why? [Groot uses a thin branch to wipe away Rocket's tears] *Groot:* We are Groot.
maybe that punch from cap'n knocked some sense into him. not to mention, he got community service for breaking and entering, assault, and kidnapping?!?
To be fair, if *you* were Captain Freaking America, would you want to call The Avengers and say "hey guys, Cap here. I definitely need your help. Avengers Assemble!" over The Asthma Monster? Because I feel like if I'm The God of Thunder and I'm getting called to on because the guy who's leading the team I'm on needs help with this goof...I'm done with Midgard. I'm just done.
Ok, just went thru the comments because I know repeating stuff that other people mentioned is a pet peeve, and yes I know I'm a few years late but I'm catching up on the videos after discovering this wonderful stuff, but Captain America in the comics doesn't he super strength like he does in the movies. Peak human strength yes, a level that could be attained in the real world, but not super human level. Just a little FYI I guess. Lol.
A comic about asthma. A condition that I have, incidentally. This ought to be a fun one. (What point is there to life if you can't laugh about the crap you go through?) Unfortunately, it is one in the morning. Man, I sure am smart. Albuterol sulfate tastes nasty, by the way. Not as bad as Prednisone though. That stuff must be made out of powdered demons. It's upsetting that it works so well in beating allergic reactions and asthmatic crises.
If you upload 2 old episode per week here and a new episode per week in channel awesome than how long would it takes for the old ep to catch up with channel awesome
Another 2-3 years, by my estimation. We're about to hit the 150th episode on youtube and it takes about a year to go through 100 episodes on youtube, by which time I'll have yet another 50 episodes in the can, so after another year or so we'll have caught up.
Linkara, I am a huge fan, and I was wondering; after you are finished filming the AT4W movie, would you review something with the Sentry? I would really love to see that review. Thanks for your time!
3 crappy movies? There was one besides captain america getting strapped to a rocket aimed at the whitehouse and the other where he's wearing some crappy biker helmet? I wonder if its worse then those 2.
Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall Actually he is referring to the same movie you are talking about, where he is strapped to a rocket (Doug reviewed that very movie which you just admitted).
FaceUnreality My guess would be that either he confused the same movie as two and thus made the "3rd movie" statement or maybe he's referring to the Marvel movie (the first one) as being crap.
16:21 i have the same feeling after bakugo's "apology" in my hero academia, it blantantly ignores continuity similar to the writer of this comic trying to redeem the asthma monster (does he actually have a real name?)
3:34 "All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh-water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"
The comic itself irritates me for several reasons: 1. assuming this comic was a PSA sponsored by Glaxo (now GSK I suppose), why aren't they specifically talking about inhalers or nebulizers at all? Inhalers are super important for all breathing conditions, from childhood asthma to COPD (aka breathing damage due to years of smoking). Captain America talks to the kids about staying calm during an attack (and the monster bemoans they fact the kids whip out their inhalers to fend off his attack), but neither character spare more than two words for the medication. The makers (and sponsors) of this comic missed a huge opportunity to both lend useful advice (how to use their inhaler correctly - inhalers are useless if the person doesn't know how to use them correctly) and advertise a product ("Look! Our brand-name drug is trustworthy!" On the other hand, maybe direct-to-consumer advertising wasn't legal when this comic was published??). 2. I don't care what decade this comic was published, Pharmacists are terribly underused both then and today. Doctors don't, as a rule, hand out meds - you have to go to your pharmacy for that. Also, don't remember what your doctor said about how to use the inhaler? Ask the pharmacist! 3. Why is the Asthma Monster taking so many pains to spread Asthma when he can just lobby Congress to defund the EPA (or whatever) and let pollution levels rise so childhood respiratory disorders increase? On the other hand, he's probably too impatient for that.
“Three crappy movies previously” See, this is why I hold out hope for a decent Fantastic Four movie care of Marvel Studios. They had three crappy movies too (technically four if you want to count the unreleased Roger Corman movie).
@@vaggos2003 Don't expect any sort of No Way Home style crossover with the main MCU. If anything, those universes already got pruned or suffered an incursion.
"Children, you know what to do!"
"Right, Captain America, I'll go Punisher on his ass!"
"I move through the power of badass." Considering the amount of stuff he's been through and the beatings he's taken, I can buy it.
"Captain America, child abductor."
It's the return of Crazy Steve!!!
Well, Frank Miller has expressed interest in wanting to write Captain America... but fortunately, Marvel has made it *very* clear that they won't let him touch Cap with a ten mile pole.
Toa Tahu Crazy Steve Rogers, even.
Maple Samurai And yet even without Frank Miller's help, Ultimate Captain America says "The "A" doesn't stand for France!".
Maybe Miller should be allowed to work in the Ultimate universe.
Honestly, I think the idea of Captain America randomly appearing before children and giving random asthma advice is hilariously absurd
Maybe Miller should write for U.S.Agent.

This was actually the first comic I ever got, back when I was a child in the hospital. Been a cap fan ever since.
" it was something about putting my head between my legs and kissing my ass good bye but i'm not that limber !" i love that
A breathtaking villain.
The Asthma Monster is no mad-dog killer; he is after something!
Seeing Cap in that goofy helmet is seriously giving me Reb Brown flashbacks. And now I can't get the cheery TV-style theme song out of my head
I would not be that amazed that Captain America was around. He is enchanted soldier sure but it’s not that exiting but still a soldier that could have educating kids as part of job description and he is kind of a mascot for the US military anyway.

It's strange this comic is so silly, and yet as someone who collects comics and has asthma, im strangely tempted to purchase a copy off of Amazon.

I think Twilight Sparkle, Rey and Steven universe would go "I think you're forgiving him too easily"
I had the first Asthma Monster comic when I was little. I think it was actually my first comic.
Huh gotta say didnt expect that
at 7:41, am i the only one who thinks, judging by the artwork and how Captain America is holding his hand, that he is about to pull his pants down and flash himself at those kids?

How 'bout the lady from Totally Spies who wants to make everyone addicted to Girl Scout cookies?
Dec Hardcat I haven't seen Totally Spies in a while, so I must ask: That was a thing?
+Samuel Johnson Yes. It was. There was even a movie!
+islamroks11 I meant the woman who wanted to make everyone addicted to cookies.
+Samuel Johnson Yes. It was. Totally Spies was a WEIRD show and not all that good.

I always liked Marathon's Martin Mystery more.

He's not "simulating" the symptoms of asthma, he's trying to cause ACTUAL asthma attacks. Yes, this might be arguing semantics, but still.

I usually drop Benadryl when I'm in the alley having to get high as a goddamn kite.
I feel like super heroes are summoned and literally teleport when a PSA is going on
I love it, a comic where Captain America gets ”Scooby Doo'd”
I remember that up to this point, I skipped the story segments in your videos. But I saw the glitch and wanted to know what was up with that. That's when I began to take a greater interest in your other videos, not just the ones about Batman or Superman.
As I rewatch the storyline episodes I forgot how creepy the PSA Hell opening sequence was.
What's with these PSA comics from the 1980s and them always seeming stuck in the fifties and early sixties, at least fashion-wise?
Because they're in the Silver Age spirit.

"There is logic in what he says"
Cap's there because he was asked to make another PSA video for Peter Parker's school.
11:17 that is my fave part
It's pretty easy to counter most asthma medicines. Beta blockers can trigger asthma attacks that are resistant to standard asthma treatment.
Isnt Ms Wilson the name of the teacher from the Tandy Computer comics
OH MY GOD SHE CROSSED COMPANIES
Is it ironic I actually got a little short of breath from laughing watching this?
11:16 I know it's wrong, but that would be so cool XD
I laughed so hard at this. Great episode and great job, man.
11:18 why would captain america give any child a gun?
cause he's a American

4 crappy movies prior to 2011 if you count the 1944 Captain America Serial
I recall reading this particular comic book.
I just thought of something. In your alternate universe does Space Lancer Steve replace Lt. Monroe? Because that would be an awesome plot twist.
14:24 Demon flower fairies!
I wonder when we are going to see the first one on the show.
This was my first comic book ever and a doctor gave it to me when I was 3 or 4.. wild,. 8 always talk about it but just googled it
10 years of the asthma monsters second appearance
Man, remember when you can say "America promotes good health and medical care for the ill" ?"
Looking forward to the first Asthma Monster comic review. My brother suffers from asthma, but the concept is so ridiculous I have to laugh.
"Mrs Wilson, are you home? It's Captain America!"
Asthma Monster would do more damage raising insurance prices. INSURANCE LOBBYIST MONSTER!
How to improve this-"I'll help you...I'm a PRISON doctor"
I got a asthma ad before this! I think Ads just latch on to key words.
He's hangin' out! Hangin' out! Hangin' out with his family! Havin' himself a par-taaay!
Here's something I keep wondering. They keep talking about allergens... Shouldn't they just sneeze? Asma and allergies are totally different things.
Ok, just went thru the comments because I know repeating stuff that other people mentioned is a pet peeve, and yes I know I'm a few years late but I'm catching up on the videos after discovering this wonderful stuff, but Captain America in the comics doesn't he super strength like he does in the movies.

0:10 wait three I only know the Europe one what are the other two
Pretty mellow set of wheels ;)
Are we sure this is the Asthma Monster and not Killer Croc getting lost in the Marvel universe and needing a new gimmick?
Say, wouldn't Cap recover from the permanent toxin? I mean, he IS a super soldier, so I figure he'd be all right.
Assault a full of room of police, kidnapping, home invasion.. COMMUNITY SERVICE!! XD
Asthma Monster for the Avengers Endgame
maybe he was transferred to a UK prison but from what i seen they have tranquilizer guns here

Basically it's like one or two frames - during the end credits for a second it glitches and shows a message.
