They are really trying to make Cyclops like he's a bad guy. since AvX he's had to stand up for his people. Avengers literally came to his home and started a war on their doorstep. No one ever helps the XMen and Scott had to realize they will kill them off if he doesn't take a stronger stance. Cyclops is the real MVP
Errordemn6 agreed
Yup
Avengers didnt started the war it seems you didnt understand the strory at all😂
@@psychopirate1779 the avengers came to the summers who was with the x-men and took her by force
@Psycho Pirate what? They literally showed up to a sovereign country and demanded the people of said country give up one of their citizens, who was a child. All because the avengers thought they were smarter and knew how to handle the Phoenix force instead of the group of people who had the most experience with it.
It's funny that you read cyclops as a much more aggressive character than I do. When I read him he didn't come across as the new magneto, just a guy fighting to keep the dream of a future for mutants alive, magneto dreamed of supremacy in his glory days, Cyclops never even looked to such lofty goals, he just wanted mutants to live another day. He lost his wife, his son, his chance at a normal life, his mentor, his home and then watch what he had sacrificed so much for dwindle to near nothing, yeah I'd fight the Inhumans religious ideology about there poisonous cloud to save lives.
Side note, you point out that blackbolt doesn't murder Cyclops, the mist does, but blackbolt released the mist, so yes, yes he does murder Cyclops.
Here's the way I see it. Magneto is like the Malcolm X of Mutants. Cyclops was the Martin Luther King of Mutants. Both had strong opinions, both are willing to die for those beliefs.
I never did like how they handled the death of Cyclops, I mean they put his actual death in some miniseries? Cyclops is one of the most important mutants in the Marvel Universe AND a member of the first group of X-Men you'd think we'd at least get to see him go in the main X-Men series.
I know there's young Cyclops in the comics now but that's not really the same, it feels insulting to take an important character death and go "If you want to know how that happened read THE DEATH OF X" a lot of ANAD feels like this, like a large chunk of story has just been ripped out for the purpose of creating a mystery.
Timewarpiaman I agree man. ANAD is weird and they kind of use it to fill in gaps. Cyclops, THEE XMen poster boy get a side story death and doesn't even go down in a fight! He gets sick and just dies. WTF and the whole all an illusion thing is a major cop out for lazy writing.
This problem just makes no sense whatsoever. There are so many weather and wind controllers. so many people who can hell just revert the mist back into crystal form if they desired.
This is a problem on par with no one being able to save aunt May from a gunshot wound.
This is the problem with comic book writing in general because often they think they can ignore logic and think that we wouldn't notice and often we don't because there is a level of suspension of disbelief especially when you're a younger reader but as you get older which a lot of comic readers are, that shit doesn't fly. The beauty of comics however someday a writer will elegantly explain away these mistakes away.
The real problem, is Isaac Perlmutter, the greedy asshole who doesn't give a shit about fans and what they love, he'd just happily reprocess everything in marvel to garner new audiences, and when he doesn't he'd have marvel staff do it again.
Then again, what I heard of the conditions of working at marvel now, where you don't even get toilet paper, is pretty obvious this isn't the marvel comics stan lee and jack kirby created.
WTF is that "Working Standards at Marvel" BS. That was from when Marvel was low on money, who the fuck told you that bull so I can slap em in the face.
MrTaurenshaman That's really disheartening as someone who wants to break into the comic book industry.
Either Storm or Iceman could've handled this solo... but I guess being terrigen it's a special mist that can't be cooled. There's probably a throwaway line somewhere about that during the history of terrigen mist in some comic somewhere.
your the only person who did a true review
viclops Xmen a Thorgi also had a great summary of the story
the story is finally out, and the others didn't like it
+Derek i thought the story was very good
Totally agreed. Excellent video. And thank you.
Sounds like that was some horrible writing
dude, Layla doesn't heal, she brings the dead back to life but without a soul/moral compass. so if she brought him back, he'd be like a sociopath. also, I'd expect you to have more respect for X-factor, especially Peter David's run, and the huge amount of character development he gave that team. tired of reviewers that piss on good work. just because X-factor wasn't well received, doesn't mean it wasn't excellent writing.
I second that.
When it comes to the Inhumans, i have a President Garrison motto, "Fuck em all to death." They try to make Scott out to be the bad guy, but he wasn't protecting a lethal gas, the inhumans were. Scott was right, again. And he died for it, just like he always said he would. But i'll let my wallet speak to marvel, because youtube rants won't phase them. I won't read any of the inhuman books, won't see thier movie, watch their t.v. I will boycott the Inhumans until they fade away and are classified as Obsolete. Long live Mutant-kind.
Kurt Wagner same
Kurt Wagner lol, don't lie to yourself, the Inhuman movie hype will be too strong for you to resist
biorobot2 the inhuman movie was replaced by another one bro it sux :/
i dont want to see a inhuman anything and if you dont think that there lame look to the crappy ending of the agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. first season
Marvel has gone insane.
I hate how marvel has treated cyclops.
Big Durk Same they had a cool hero die screw them!
he was my fav xmen i dont even recocnize him anymore
Big Durk honestly I understand why he does what he does. Scott is trying to protect him kind, and this has required him to become more violent. I personally can’t say I wouldn’t have done what he did. Hero is a subjective term, Cyclops is a leader and I respect him.
I hate that uniform on him
Well... He's back to life
Wow... Emma gave her man a HUGE gift. From Mutant and mortal to immortal idea... Deep.
still find it ridiculous that no one can get rid of the terrigin mist like storm or thor or doc strange. because it's underrating those characters and the majority of humanity want to be th em because reasons.but mutants oh no they must die. this is dumbass as anything I've read
also magneto could contain the mist with his powers making a air tight ball or whatever if he needs help get polaris
The problem is that the mist is everywhere. And inhumans would get really angry if someone destroys it. Also remember that outside the mutants and inhumans, no one really knows about the effect of the mist in mutants.
it's still bs
yes, it is... I didnt like the writting of the story
tbh, Strange should have been able to simply siphon it off to a pocket reality of something.
Could even have given the inhumans a gate or something, so they still had access.
There was absolutely no reason for this story or how it went down beyond the obvious desire to try and push big mutant characters out of the lime light from Marvel.
Stikes of cutting off ones nose to spite your face really.
I don't understand, what did Cyclops actually do? Folks are comparing him to Magneto but he hasn't been killing anyone. His goal was never to have Mutants take over the world. He just wanted to keep his people safe. People treated him like a villain but he never actually did anything really bad. He acted more in self defense if anything.
Because under the influence of the Phoenix, he killed Charles. Now I'm a huge Cyke fan, but Wolvie's call out on it in the aftermath of AvX is spot on. Wolvie says, "You knew this would happen. You watched it happen with Jean, and you didn't even stop. You didn't think twice. And now, Charles is dead." And it's true, if anyone should've known that the Phoenix force isn't anything to mess with, it was Scott.
That said, the reason Cyke is most like Mags, is because they were both right.
Kurt Wagner Cyclops's plan wasn't to become the Phoenix thou. Tony split it up by trying to destory it. And even then it was either let Hope take control of the Phoenix or face mutant extinction.
Kurt Wagner already explained Cyclops killing the Professor under the influence of the Phoenix Force what he missed was him ordering Wolverine to reform X-Force as a black ops team to kill any threats to mutantkind, he didn't point out that his stance on protecting mutants became more aggressive with threats to humanity, things like Utopia seemed like a line being drawn in the sand and is why Beast was angry with Scott and left Utopia and then there was the attack on the Avengers whom felt the Phoenix Force was too much a threat but Scott wanted to use it to jumpstart mutantkind. He became more of a revolutionary figure.
I hate how the biggest threat to the x men right now is a cloud of gas yet there leader can control the weather...
there was more than one Terrigen cloud. Emma solidified herself as Scott's love by turning his death into a tribute. Elixir is now able to bring people from death.
and Scott was not being unreasonable in the defense against threats to mutant existence; since none in the community of heroes work to aid the many issues mutants faced
Once again Cyclops Was Right! First and best of the X-Men, King and savior of Mutantkind. Never a villain, just a man with a vision. Uncompromising. A true hero, misunderstood by many, hated by others (haters gonna hate), by far one of the most interesting characters in the Marvel Universe. Teen Cyke is alright but he's not the real deal.
And the Inhumans really do suck. Boring as hell.
Long live Cyclops and his team. Badass Cyclops must reads: Grant Morrison's run, Whedon's Astonishing X-Men (best Cyclops ever), Bendis' Uncanny X-Men and if you have the time, Utopia.
I also recommend Lee/Kirby X-Men and everything written by Lobdell.
Andrés CS agreed
“Spare me your petty judgements they come from a mind to meager to comprehend my reality.”
@@ggt47injustice Cyclops edition💪💪💪💪
Inhumans are monsters, Medusa and Black Bolt should be the ones labeled as terrorists by the world and not Cyclops. Nothing Cyclops "did" here should have been labeled as Hitler, what did he ever do? The worst thing he's done was kill Charles Xavier which is so unfair because last I checked, Jean Grey had killed millions when corrupted by the Phoenix Force.
Cyclops has saved lives, he didn't deserve this, I hate Inhumans, specifically Medusa. The fact that she was willing to execute Cyclops for messing with a cloud is so frustrating, Tony should have destroyed their city.
Inhumans and their Poison need to be eradicated, mutant kind should go to war
Zeta Rise Mutants have a right to defend themselves, yes, but you can't label ALL Inhumans as villains. That literally goes against everything the X-Men comics have stood for since their first publication. Inhumans have as much right to exist as humans and mutants, you can't blame their entire species for the actions of Medusa and Black Bolt. What you CAN do is hold Medusa and Black Bolt responsible for their own actions, and go to war with them as individuals. That's why Cyclopse's whole change of character, becoming the "new Magneto" or whatever, was so stupid, because he literally turned his back on the X-Men legacy. It was a betrayal, not just of the X-Men, but of the fans who admired them. But that's less of a fault on the character, and more of a fault in Marvel itself.
The Inhumans are arseholes
They should have body cams on & live left on
@@magneto9210 changes are necessary my friend or else you want to read the same boring character over and over again
@@psychopirate1779 Bruh, this is two years old
is there anything less relatable than the inhuman and their royal family. these are not the hero's we want at all.
Cyclops was right. Granted foghting them from the get go was a bad move, but if the Inhumane weren't going to save mutants from the Terrigen mists whose release was entirely the fault of the inhumans, then mutants don't really have much of a choice but to fight back or risk being mass murdered. Crystal and her team helping to get them away from the big cities is a decent start but it just moves it somewhere else. if mutants aren't being needlessly killed in one place, it's only another. it was nice some of the Inhumane helped but it was only a half measure.if they're not willing to fix their mess then they're complicit in the deaths of innocent people. if diplomacy wasn't working then fighting is about the last and only choice.
So all the other hero's hate cyclops because he destroyed a cloud saving many mutants, and love black bolt because instead of capturing him something he could have easily done he gunned him down without a second thought.
Wow!!!
I read Death of X and with this video, it reminded me how all over the place this story actually was.
Characters acting completely out of their normal means, Cyclops being more and like Magneto, and then Cyclops' death which starts a war between the X-Men & The Inhumans. Wow...just wow!
And I hated how Cyclops dies and we didn't get some proper mourning from him. It wasn't just anyone that died. It was Cyclops; one was the original X-Men!
Damn!!!
But with all that being said; this was still a great video, Rob.
This is a new level of disrespect to X-Men fans. The team that help make what Marvel Comics is today. It was so frustrating and sad seeing how many times they've fucked Cyclops over ever since after the Whedon run. Cyclops is one of my favorite characters because he's more complex than people give credit for. AvX, Secret Wars, and this. Huge disservice of one of Marvel's staple characters and such a disgusting send-off
Marvel's character assassination of Cyclops is the biggest fuck up to a character of great potential.
I like the touch of having Emma be in her diamond form at the funeral so nobody can possible read her mind.
I get marvel wants the xmen movie rights but this is just plain DISRESPECTFUL to the xmen legacy and fans. The xmen paved the path for marvel and for them to treat the stories like this it's disgusting. If they try something like this with resurrection x I won't support the MCU anymore.
Devon Sewell Uh, RessurXion will relaunch most X Men books, and bring back series like Generation X
sean bowman X men are better
sean bowman No one gives a crap about the Inhumans dude.
no one gives a flying fuck about the shithumans lol
@sean bowman Fuck the inhumans.
Iv honestly given up with marvel now, with what they're trying to do to mutants id rather just spend my money on dc rebirth which has been killing it
There is something called Resurrexion dude
it's what a lot of people have been doing this summer/fall marvel seen the sales and are trying to fix it... poorly
Lewis Aldridge They just got 6 new books so please stop the bullshit.
Jerel Boza too late. The had to do it because the inhuman push largely failed. but... marvel had to stop the bullshit. Doesn't erase the giant fuck you they tried to pull on x fans. You are like a climate denier...
Midnightv No im tired of the fucking mutants. I like both the Inhumans and the mutants but let's be real they are getting to complicated. Also no im not but you're acting like a god damn ALT Right Trump supporter.
Black Bolt was willing to murder Cyclops over ONE of the genocidal gas clouds, that's all it took to turn me from a fan into a hater.
Wheres my Emma was Right T-shirt?
kinda seems like the inhumans were the villains here. I mean besides letting a killer cloud kill mutants so they could gain inhumans, black bolt just straight up murdered Cyclops as far as anybody knows. Sure some of it was engineered by Emma Frost but the pure aggression from the inhumans seems really suspect.
Marvel is trying to push the Inhumans hard, but they're doing an awful job at making them likeable.
why do they keep fucking over Cyclops? Man he's my favorite X men
If Fox returns all the marvel characters rights, I wanna know what crap story they will do to ressurect all the iconic mutants death characters. Let's be honest. For all the history and filosofy x-men has, this is way better than inhumans (sorry for my poor english, I'm brazillian).
Pretty good English, Raiden, I understand you perfectly. I wouldn't bet on X-Men returning to Marvel anytime soon, and neither do they. That's the basic reason why they've decided to wean off X-Men books. After all, all they are doing in supplying new stories and characters to a rival company. Profits on comics has always been questionable at best.
To be perfectly honest, much as I love X-Men, I am more excited to see Fantastic Four return to Marvel than anything else. Marvel needs Silver Surfer, Galactus, and the original Marvel family back for epic storylines and a more complete universe. X-Men can stay at Fox for all I care. I don't want Wolverine tainting my perfect cinematic universe, lol.
We will have more X-men books after IvX and RessureXtion. maybe this will be better:)
I agree with most of what you said except not having Wolverine there. Wolverine has a lot of depth and there is so much more content he's able to provide. Now Cyclops, besides making Cable, is to me, one of the most worthless and stupidest X-Men ever. Also, Reed Richards should admit his theft of Victor Von Dooms work, even though it will probably never be a worthwhile story that gets written. (I know it is your cinematic universe-to each his own sir :) )
Damien Lee I'm not saying Wolvie's a bad character, I just like him better in a supporting role. After starring in, count 'em, SEVEN films, I'm kinda done with him.
Cyke *IS* the X-Men. People hate him because of recent events- being largely sidelined in the films, then the whole AvX fiasco. The films won't stop bitching him out. He had no romantic scenes with Jean Grey across four films. Then he emerges as the Dark Phoenix and they have him, literally, wearing red panties. The scene in X-Men Apocalypse is a perfect example of how tired the concept of watching him lose Jean Grey to Wolvie has become. (If she doesn't like Cyke so much, why does she always get with, and stay with him?)
He's really been treated quite poorly over the last fifteen years (like most X-Men have been during Wolvie's unstoppable rise to insane popularity). Pretty much Chris Claremont's entire X-Men run has been retold in various formats with their original stars pushed aside to make more room for Wolvie. (Try to imaging Weapon X with Cyclops as the star and you'll maybe sympathize with why I want to puke whenever Wolverine has been, undeservedly, in the spotlight.)
If you want good Cyclops, try the Astonishing X-Men motion comic. You'll be glad you did.
Jim Slav:"Cyke IS the X-Men." that's not true. This became true only after day of M and thanks to that X-men comics are less popular than Avengers or Deadpool or Spiderman. When we had O5 X-men these series was almost cancelled... X-men survived thanks to Claremont who created new heroes, better heroes.
X-men Animated series, Evoluttion or X-men comics claremont and later...X-men were the best when they had stories about small group of mutants.
Wolverine was more popular than Scott before movies. Scott was saying don't do cool things... that was his role in TAS...
Wolverine, Storm, Rogue and Cyclops - Xmen
Scott alone - sad joke and the reason why X-men comics are worth 10-20% of Marvel comic sales right now.
You're the main man Rob!!! And no disrespect to other channels, but honestly yourself and Sal from comicPOP make the weekly pull so much better and I really enjoy that your personalities are sincere and relaxing. TO THE FUTURE, ALAN SCOTT OUT!!!
Cyclops did not kill any Inhumans, humans, or Mutants so why is Block Bolt not a murder? why did Emma and the other X-men that went in to the terrigen not get sick or die? Cyclops was talking to Beast when he died Why did Beast not tell any other X-men that he was dead?
Wait a sec...so that body Emma Frost was cradling at the end was the real Scott Summers, and that whole "death by Blackbolt" was just an illusion created by Emma Frost!!? Well, thats bloody brilliant of Emma to do, to rally all mutant kind against Inhumans!! Sounds like Magneto has been giving Emma advice. Thats something he would do. Lastly, scott summers died by terregen poisoning...?
Ps: why is Havok's face still all scarred up, but Sunfire is back to his human form. They both got altered in the same issue of Uncanny Avengers. If i remember correctly, both their mutant powers got massive upgrades, at the cost(s), of half of havoc's face, alà Two-Face, and Sunfire getting an "Atomic Body"!!
Omg, I know they have issues with other companies holding "rights" over X franchise but this is just a damn mess. I completely stopped reading X titles about 11 years ago. When the started the "Blue" "Gold" teams in the 90's I was purchasing every X title. As time passed into the end of the 90's and into the 2000's I slowly stopped reading. With the death of Synch, the continuity issues, does anyone even know what happened to Mondo or Cecilia Reyes?, its just all gone to shit. The writing, the character development, dismissal of years of plot development and outright pandering in a pathetic attempt for sales have destroyed what was once the pinnacle of comic creativity. Killed off "Maggot", Why? Where is the 2nd "Thunderbird"? Bishop a baby killer? Responsible "Beast" bringing the original past to the present? Oh this is just "shit"
maxim30 Makes me sad that my X-men are being used like this 😢
+Jwils The M.C they're destroying all the old for a soft reboot next year two brand new teams Xmen Blue and Xmen Gold one of the two is going to be more of the traditional Xmen we like but I don't know which yet.
Generation X is coming back too! :)
Got to be honest, that was an interesting ending. Emma sought to redeem Cyclops and make him a maytr is cool.
Wooow, they brutally ripped the X-men's character construction, mythos, and consistency apart. Thanks for posting this story, it explains sooo much why so many people disliked the death of X event and ragged on the story so much and it fits right with the haphazard way Marvel's been handling ANAD x-men stories so far. Jus the way they cut scene after Cyclops' death and then, the WAY they killed him offf...smh...and the pacing of the stories event and the way a lot of the characters were used, like Magneto, Storm, Sunfire, and the whole engagement of the Inhumans with the X-men I feel could have been written so much more dynamic and multi-layered, incorporating some great call backs to their history and man...ah well. This is where we are now.
Emma you are truly a gorgeous woman of comic books.
This hurts so much on a personal level, mutants represented so much for me, cyclops was a hero for me growing up, X-Men always showing us that we should be proud of who we are no matter how different from the norm we can be. But with this story, so much was shattered, Cyclops essentially killed twice over before my eyes due to the Inhumans. Is this what Marvel thinks of us now? That single act by Medusa and Black Bolt was an attack on those who find themselves being anything but straight, an attack on minorities, an attack on an idea. Medusa and Black Bolt are villains here.
I enjoyed stories like A Force a lot, but fuck Medusa being on that great team, doesn't matter anyways, book is over thanks to Civil War 2 killing it with tie ins
Cyclopes is still alive but in younger form :) and they are doing a whole x-men event with 7 xmen books next year so as always in comics this is only one chapter of a bigger picture
See, fuck that, that Cyclops is totally different than this one, he's only been an X-Men for like a few weeks, while the original has been one for longer than I've been alive. Experiences are what make us up, it doesn't matter if young cyclops is the same physically, mentally they are barely anything alike.
I am nothing like I was years ago, and neither is Cyclops.
X-Men don't stay dead. Dying for an X-man is like a case of the flu for us.
Zeta Rise lately they have been making him into something else, especially since he killed Charles Xavier. However This story was so weird how they killed him off.
musiq002003 yeah very weird, not to mention how they handed Cyclops here and his apparent death. Now the question is that is he really dead? Because we all know that he died in Secret Wars as Phoenix at the hands of Dr. Doom and now years later he's alive with no explanation. Now Cyclops is apparently dead but I refuse to believe he's dead and it's not denial talk.
well damn!! the story was all over the place, but you reeled it in well! this is crazy yo! looking forward to the next vid
Thank god this video existed because the death of Cyclops here confused the hell out of me when I first read Death of X.
Well...that was disappointed to be honest, but not to Rob, his videos always phenomenal.
There were actually originally 5 Stepford Cuckoos. Sophie and Esme died
GREAT VIDEO THOUGH
Jordan Cannon I was just about to post the same comment. lol
I didn't mean to sound snotty. I feel bad. Rob knows 5435436346 times more than me ahha, and I literally watch his videos every day! No disrespect at all
Jordan Cannon That wasn't snotty. You said the correct info and you didn't have an attitude. I don't think Rob would be offended. Most of TH-cam is usually way more harsh.
Great story, its sad that such an iconic character like cyclops is now dead. We'll see what marvel do with the all new cyclops
"Hey, Cyclops is dead... Just kidding, it was all a complicated illusion in order to make the inhumans look bad... he is really dead tho, he got sick"
Whaaaaaaat?
I stopped reading Marvel Comics for a while now. The publication's effort to keep re-inventing their books is killing their credibility with me.
1st wolverine now my bro cyclops :(
Wow Rob! Thanks for covering this my dude. Not sure if it's related but I asked about a week ago if you would go over this!! I've been out of reading comics for about 10 years until I found your channel a couple months ago. You do good work and I thank you sir.
So eloquent and uncluttered. Your manner in making the dots connect is truly appreciated. You bring about a scholarly voice with the sense of an authentic story teller. Well done. Do you believe the theory that Marvel is looking for ways to box up the mutants and go with the inhumans because of the current state of licenses and rights between the movie studios?
Actually, the T-Mist does kill non-Mutants. Most of the humans/Inhumans that undergo terringenesis do die. Marvel like to brush that to the side tho...
blackmanwithcomputer I think there is inconsistencies with it because when the Inhuman Flint undergone Terragenesis, his entire town died from it, but when Kamala Khan undergone it in a park with a bunch of people, no human died from it.
Rob....i really would like to hear your opinion on what MARVEL is doing with the X-men...
U mean Resurrexion?
R3GARnator It's like Marvel apologizing to X-Men fans, can't wait for IvX
care to explain? Marvel has been hurting my soul with the Xmen for a very long time. I grew up on Strong guy, Chamber, Cypher etc. I loved those peeps like my brothers and the stories they went on captivated me. I felt my soul Ripped out with the HOUSE OF M story Line. at a younger teenage age, I couldn't grasp wandas powers until it was too late and I witnessed my girl jubilee powerless. if your speaking of a story line were they bolster the mutant Pop please tell me now.
Tristan Gill RessurXion is a relaunch of most X Men books, including new series such as solo series for Cable, Iceman, and Jean Grey. The two main X Men books are gonna be called "X Men Gold" and "X Men Blue", Generation X is returning, and "Weapon X" series. I'm pretty sure the OML and All New Wolverine is gonna continue, but this is in the aftermath of IvX
Great video Rob as always keep up with the good work, also in your last What If Dr. Doom Destroyed the Marvel universe you talked about how you wished there was a story about Dr. Doom invading one of the fictional nations of the Marvel universe, well you are in luck because there is a story like that and it's called Doomwar and it's about Doom going to war with The Black Panther and invading the nation of Wakanda. =)
idk if anyone addressed it. the cuckoos were made during Grant Morrison's run and they were originally five. one died trying to stop quinton quire, and the other joined Xorneto and died
I don't think anyone has noticed this but that has to be a duplicate Madrox. when the original dies the rest of the duplicates fade away and they didn't. and unless I'm misunderstanding him being there also makes 0 sense because he's supposed to be living a quiet life on a farm with his wife and children right now
Guy Gabriel II you're spot on
Guy Gabriel II he wasn't dead when we saw the clones. We don't see them again once he dies.
First off SCREW the inhumans lame Characters and Rob please do Xfactor investigation
The Brains Behind The idiot! Yeah, Madrox is great in X Factor
The Brains Behind The idiot! i hope they retcon it so that there's a madrox dupe somewhere else so we can still get a madrox out there in the marvel universe.
John Tan yesss
The Inhumans were cool when they were Game of Thrones is fucking space. Putting them on Earth and making them X-Men 2.0 ruined them, and it's been worse since they've been pushed like crazy. They've gotten annoying as of late.
Surprised Robot Putting them on Earth is fine.They have to deal wtih diplomatic issues rather than inner conflict and alien invasion this time.I think Medusa is a great leader to maintain peace with human even claim a land in America to rebuild Attilan,that's some serious diplomatic skills.But the mist stuff is rather forced and stupid.Medusa tried all her might to protect her people and she and Black Bolt already broke old Inhuman laws.Now there is a fucking mist killing mutants,they chose to protect the lifeless cloud.Seriously,it makes their government look like bunch of lunatics.
Always love your content. Please keep it up. Especially everything cyclops.
happy Turkey day
oh snap I'm early, thanks for the content Rob, we're all lucky you're a channel. PEACE!!!
The writing does make the characters do strange things. It's very deliberate. I don't think Emma Frost would ever instigate that whole thing, and how come no one questioned why Scott was still alive for so long? The big twist at the end would've been great if it was believable.
William White Why wouldnt Emma do that
Why *would* she? That's not who she is based on the way the story was going so far for x-men. That kinda manipulation is more up Mystique's alley.
I'm not sure if i like what Emma did. For one side it show us that she really loved Scott and she was willing to do all of this in order to continue his legacy. But for the other side, i'm sad that Cyclops' death was like this :c #CyclopsWasRight
rob can you do a video on white crown jean gray?
fingerpriint 1201 he mentioned her in his Jean Grey ecplained videos.
Gabriel Toribio which one? Can you link me to it?
He basically said that he wont do a video about it because white crown phoenix is more like a plot device rather than anything truly interesting.
Ahh I see
fingerpriint 1201 what a beautiful profil pic, it feels likr a picnic
This has probably been said, but there was originally 5 Cuckoos. When they first came out they called themselves the 5 in 1 :)
I bet you actually probably know this, but just forgot at the time of making the video. It happens. Really enjoy your videos btw mate. Keep up the great work.
Love your videos man. Keep up the good work.
Why do they always kill my boy cyclops 😂
great video but as an xmen fan this story is essentially a terrible elevator fart.
Nothing good, just pain.
Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for the video.
Genius writing right there.
That Emma plot twist...Mental!!!
why does marvel hate Cyclops? They keep killing him and so easily it's garbage. even when he had the Phoenix force he lost so easily to doom.
ashton murillo look at this, a being. And then a GOD.
Just cAuse he has powers wouldn't mean he could stand up to a god. Only something like the infinity gauntlet would do that
Why are they doing this to me!
Why do they keep killing Scott?! i'm so pissed...
CYCLOPS WAS RIGHT. Well, at least we still have Hugclops A.K.A Scoot Summers. ugh.
Rob Ur The Man Your Vids Are Perfect For Me And I Thanx U For Your Time, I Subscribed To All Of You Guys Tell Benny & Them The Rest Of I Love Y'all. 1Love❤️
I think the best explanation for why terrigen kills now would be rooted in Indestructible Hulk 17/18 where Banner builds a bomb to accelerate time for the cloud to spend all of it's radiation. Of course it doesn't work, and Iron Man mentions that the interaction was entirely unpredictable given how exotic terrigen is. I think that's when the mist became deadly, it would also explain how you can have the terrigen bomb go off over New York City during an alien invasion and yet have none of the mutants in New York City die off immediately.
Don't like all the 'out of character' comments, of course Storm would be a little shakier than normal .. the thing that the Inhumans controlled super secretly gets out and starts a genocide of mutants? Nah man.. that is a time to start asking questions of your former 'allies'
also Mutants whole thing is being afraid of being wiped out
Dude what? The entire reason why the mist is about is because Thanos attacked the inhuman. They did not release it on perpose. They can't even control it.
And all the mutants were there and saw it so they know everything is above board.. I'm saying the entire history of the xmen is they are feared, hated, and people try to wipe them out. Like over and over and over.. It isn't out of character for them to react badly to a group suddenly being responsible for their next upcoming genocide.
dreadman999 WRONG black bold had planned that shit long time ago, he destroyed the whole city to liberate the mist while fighting Thanos
omarogd No. he did not. nothing shows that he did. It had more to do with thanos then effecting mutants.
didn't cyclops die in the secret wars?
this is before secret wars, ANAD
He does die in Secret Wars, but it hasn't happend yet
+Alex Deleon actually this all happens after secret wars man
Alex Deleon Im so confused. If this is before secret wars should he have the pheonix powers?
Jarred Ray No; he lost those in Avengers vs X Men
The reaction was way off, especially Cyclops. But because it was Emma making an illusion, it jind of makes sense. The main problem is that Cyclops would not have decided that fear and hate are an effective way to combat the Terrigen Mists. Granted, it was a heartbroken Emma's version of Scott, but people like Storm or Colossus should have known.
Colossus looks ridiculous in his costume when he’s flesh and blood.
No really, Why is marvel trying to push Inhumans this much. No one really cares for them, Just get rid of them and fix the x-men. They X men don't deserve this
YoloSwagSenpai X-men may not deserve this but Cyclops does. Fuck Cyclops. That is all.
No you're right, Cyclops is an fuckboi who eats a lot of ass
i wouldn't say cyclops is a fuckboi, but he does eat a lot of ass
You're right fuckboi was a little to far, But he has done some traits.
Disney wants the x men out of Marvel
I will say it now MAGNETO was right all along and avx proved it this proves it and the only good marvel titles imo are doc strange,ant-man,vision,champions,power-man and iron fist,moon and devil dinosaur,Thor.Hell all the young heroes more heroic then actual adult heroes
souta renfro
I agree completely
Emma being responsible for the whole thing could explain why people were acting out of character. She shifted their perception and ways of thinking to better fit her needs. I thought this story was whacked when I first was looking into it. But with the final revelation, it kind of puts the whole thing together.
that last panel of Emma frost it almost seems like she went insane
Mutants V Inhumans: Death of Marvel sales!
Cyclops will come back nobody really dies in Marvel. I don't mean the young one I want the one I grew up with back as soon as they can figure out to do it.
They'll only bring him back, once Marvel FINALLY Owned the Rights.
Theres gonna come a time when Rob forgets to say "peace" at the end of his videos.....and I will die inside 😂😂
Wow, did you ever read Peter David's X-Factor series? Vol 1,2, and 3? He's considered one of if not the definitive writer of that title. It's so underrated, his character work is excellent. Being as knowledgeable as you are, I thought you would've been familiar with Peter David.
I'm confused. What did havoc say at the ending? Everything was just a lie? Is cyclops really dead?
Can marvel just kill xmen and don't make it very complicated.
There are too many xmen characters. What happened to rogue? Gambit? Dazzler? Jubilee?
b b Emma casted an illusion to make everyone believe that cyclops was still alive, but he'd died a while back from the mist.
Oscar Leonardo: why would Emma frost do that? For what reason?
What happened to the Terigen mist after alchemy changed it? What happened to the inhuman?
b b It's said in the comic that she wanted to keep the idea of him alive to continue the movement against the mist. He was simply an idea. It seems she went crazy near the end. I'm not sure what happened to the mist after Alchemy changed it though :(
Oscar Leonardo : thank you! I guess it's the story for next year.
So at the beginning of Secret Wars, a time period that runs parallel to this story, Cyclops *somehow* has a Phoenix Egg. This story should have either shown him use it or how he got it in the first place, yet does neither -_-
pious83 I don't know exactly how stupid I'm being right now but...
I think that this is supposed to take place in between secret wars and ANAD. If I'm wrong please tell me so, but do it nicely.
WnIyLkLvIiAsMt97 That's true and right around that time, Cyclops already had the egg.
pious83 Yeah I just looked it up... the weirdest thing is.. that event was readable at the time of secret wars... but around 8 months has passed since secret wars when he finds the egg.
This story is supposed to take place during the time in between secret wars and.... wait a minute!! WTF! He is dead.. HOW IS HE SUPPOSED TO FIND THE EGG IF HE'S DEAD?!
I did enjoy the twist with Cyclops in the end, and then going back and re-reading everything with a fresh perspective of what's really happening. That was brilliantly woven in.
it's a story of a woman standing by her man even after death. i may not like everything that happened, but if i look at it that way - the heartbreak, the tragedy, the unconditional love and devotion a woman gives to her man - i kinda like it. .
X factor Detective agency was the SHIT!!! R.I.P Ruby Summers. Also the Terrigen Mist that saved Mutant Kind is killing them now because Marvel doesn't have the rights to all Mutants from Fox. It's pretty obvious.
Enzo Matrix Clearly Marvel is getting rid of them which is why they announced all those new X titles.
Comic Fan And i can bet there's going to be inhumans in those issues, don't be stupid they're destroying the X-Men slowly
Comic Fan For months everyone said the same thing I just wrote. Look at what happened to Pietro and Wanda. They're Inhumans now for reasons. Wait for more mutants to become Inhumans because of reasons.
Enzo Matrix They're not inhumans and it's not the first time that they've been retconned to not be mutants.
they are just getting rid of x-men
I loved this story. I usually hate the endings of comic stories because a lot of the time they end so abruptly and while this one did kill of cyclops pretty quick they gave it a nice twist ending with the memory change. As long as u add a little something like that a abrupt ending is much easier to deal with.
I guess you were right... great recap and thank you for putting up your vids!
Damn, thats so crazy. So sad. I loved cyclops. Even as a "villain". wow...I also didnt know Emma frost was THAT powerful.
Cyclops was never a villain.
Villain like Magneto was a villain.
J.U.C.E. I am a little confused why the Inhumans are not seen as villains. How many super villains have done the exact same thing and it is always treated like they are evil bioterrorists.
So...i haven't read this story arch yet. I just know what was in this video. From what i heard from rob here, the Inhumans didn't release the terragin mists to spread or even try to spread it. But you know marvel trying to Kill off the Xmen and all for whatever reason. That's gotta play into this somehow right?
What i find insulting is that the other heroes just stand aside and let the mist continue it's way while the X-men, the heroes and friends with whom they have worked in the past are dying. When the phoenix came to earth and it was the only way for the mutants to be saved of extintion the Avengers jumped to stop them because there was a chance that the phoenix acted as a destructive force. But when the inhumans release a mist that it's actually killing people, they do nothing?
wtf!?!?! if you want to kill off the xmen, give them a better story than this!!!!! they could have died fighting apocalypse, or the sentinals, or a powerful mutant! or just left them being eliminated by scarlet witch! but this bullshit?!
dwaine riley
You mean being killed by the ones they have fought and defeat before?
dwaine riley RessurXion next Spring will bring in a new lineup of X Men comics, it's not the end
+Giovyodos You do realize that every time the X-Men meet Apocalypse someone almost dies or becomes a horseman, right? And depending on the type of Sentinels it goes from desperate struggle to...we might be boned...
Just because they've gotten a win in the past doesn't mean they get to keep winning. Especially with the sort threats the X-Men face.
LupineShadowOmega
Sure, all that happens everytime, but do we really want to re-use those stories again?
I have no problem with this because at the end, all these characters come back.
I'm sure that if all X-Men die, or almost all of them, Marvel will come up with something to revive the original team just to build hype.
Giovyodos It's all in the writing. You aren't using those stories again, you're using those characters again. Heck, if I'm being honest Genesis and the Apoc twins were similar to previous Apoc stories, as was the Dark Angel saga, but all of them were pretty good because a good writer knows how to craft a story to be interesting, despite or perhaps sometimes in spite of cliche or audience expectation.
Look at how many good stories we've gotten out of something as generic as the purifiers. Church zealotry...oh my...and yet the hits keep on keeping on.
This was the strongest case for what Marvel was doing. Trying to decrease the popularity of the X-Men while raising the profile of the Inhumans. I still think that most of the actions on both sides make no sense.
I think the Cyclops death spiral is the best thing Marvel has ever done. How organically it happened over 20 years is a testament to the medium. I know it makes a lot of Cyclops fans mad, but the brilliance of the storyline is that they were just dealing with what was already written. Cyclops was self-righteous, obsessed with leadership, persecuted, unfaithful and shiftless for most of the 90s. After Grant Morrison tore him down and put him with Emma Frost, the rest just fell into place.
I don't really follow marvel or the X-Men but I was under the impression that the mutants were some of marvel most popular characters why would they try to kill them off? 😕
X-Men and X-related comics were once very popular and best selling comics Marvel had, which is why Fox paid a lot of money for the movie rights. Marvel wants the rights back. They've been ruining the X-Men comics. Marvel pulled all their best writers and artists from X-series. They've been trying to force the Inhumans to the top to replace the X-Men but it hasn't worked. Now they just want to kill as many X-Men as possible. The new mist has even sterilized some mutants so new mutants won't be born.
D GeekGirl oh well that makes sense. I mean that some sneaky underhanded tactics but a least I understand now. Thanks.
'cause Fox
D GeekGirl Marvel doesn't want the rights back, they want Fox to respect the history of the characters more, and stop making X movies with shit stories. Kevin Fiege even said Marvel studios has their plate full, couldn't do X right now if they wanted. ...but. Fox and Marvel are actually working together for the Legion tv series.
Deadid Not being able to work on the X-Men right now is not saying we do not want the rights to return Marvel. Do you really believe that Marvel would tell Fox no if they offered to return the mutants back to Marvel or wanted to partner with Marvel on future X-Men movies? Feige isn't the problem. He is comic book fan. The problem is Perlmutter, the CEO. He's the one that's been pushing the Inhumans in the comics and on TV. He's the one that had the X-series pushed to the back. He's the one Fiege fought to get away from. Fiege runs the movies. Feige didn't want to do a Inhumans movie so Perlmutter is bringing it to TV. Fox originally wanted to do a "real" X-men tv show, but instead they got to do Legion. Seriously, Legion, it's good thing it's on FX now they can have an excuse for the ratings being bad.
Pretty shitty way for Scott to go.
Hello
First off let me thank you for your videos. They are fantastic.
Secondly (and forgive me if you have done this already I am new to your channel) Have you ever thought of doing a video that covers artists and styles of the comics? Like Alan Moore with Watchmen? I would like to know more about not only the writers but the artists that paint some of the most vivid and wonderful art for these comics.
Thanks again.
4th time watching this. I love this . Rob can you do a video breaking down the rise and fall of Cyclops please!!? U rock!!!
Cyclops will always be my favourite X man... while all other mutants only cared about themselves he has always tried to do whats best for mutant kind... i personally believe marvel killing off the x men is bigger than just trying to get back the rights from fox.... Mutants are the most reality based comic heroes because they are a minority like black ppl and latinos in america more so like black ppl fighting for respect and equality not trying to make it a race thing but professor x can be compared to martin luther and cyclops malcom x even magneto can be compared to mlk but maybe im just seeing something thats not there but to me thats the real reason the x men movies never worked on the big screen, x men are supposed to be the realest of all the comic movies like how they did watchmen....
"Posted 1 minute ago"... damn I'm good 😎🔥😎🔥😎🔥
Yay, have a cookie.
feelin lucky punk?
AgentX02008
