This remains, hands down, the defining depiction of Apocalypse to me. Loud, articulate, and dramatic with powers the likes of which most in the series have never seen before. And those lines! "I am the rocks on the eternal shore. Crash against me and be BROKEN!"
Absolutely! Apocalypse from this series, hands down had the greatest dialog of ANY villain from any animated series known to man! “Look upon me and tremble, for I bring the purity of oblivion to your world!”
"Each generation has cried out for a new world. But has built the same old world corrupt and weak. But the new world shall come to pass. I shall purge the Earth of these BENIGHTED HUMANS!!!"

Lol! Hilarious! Apocalypse started questioning his existence in the middle of a fight lol. Then he started getting all depressed lol. Cable was confused as hell like, "Wth? Are we still fighting?"
lol apocalypse went through all the emotions shock, anger, happiness, fulfilled, back to anger, gleeful, cocky, had an epiphany, guessing himself, sadness, depressed and then questioning if this ultimate plan may work… only one way to find out
Same.. that line just makes a statement about his power.. not bragging .. not threatening.. just plain and simple.. Apocalypse is power and evolution incarnate.. one of my favorite lines ever delivered.
How benevolent can the gods be. If they need the prattle of mortals. To justify their being. Believing That there exist no salvation. Unless their Divinity intervenes. And that Only salvation through belief in them. As well as blind faith given away devoutly. Will satiate earthly needs. Keeping the fear within believers. To cleave unto those to which they pray and plead. As earthbound preachers scream. “These are the words of the almighty. For the Heavenly Father inhabits the rocks that line the mortal seas. And that those who refuse to worship, will crash against them. Because they dared not believe. That a new world shall come to be. As the old one passes.” Their God guaranties. For the world shall burn in fire and blood. Smoldering till its all but debris. Bringing the purity of oblivion. To a world that should have lived on its knees. And from the ashes of this world. God will build a better one. But Those who see logic, try to speak sense. However a zealots beliefs they’d dare not leave. For who cares about their petty judgments.

Not by Human beings for they’re a species with great power. Yet they detest that they owe their existence. To those they’d see as beasts. For evolution is remarkable. And is proven to be.

Villain portrayal at the time in series did give the antagonistic characters enough leeway to get away with what they say as their display of actions shown how the protagonists were far beneath them
Ayeeeeeee that blasphemer part is killing me yes😂😂😂😂 and also in the fourth episode of this Beyond Good and Evil Chapter when Cable after travelling to the axis of time, when upon arriving, he exited the time machine and asked, Where am I?" and apocalypse answered and said, "Your final resting place." 😂😂😂
The VA's name was John Colicos who also famously played the legendary Kor, Dahar master in Star trek. The man had such an incredible voice and delivered his lines with excellent timing. A true loss. He was partly the reason I became so fascinated with En Sabbah Nur when I was younger. That and the fact the character has an insane story. One of the best villains of all time in any comic series.
Poor Cable was probably confused as hell. I mean, he came here expecting a duel to the death with Apocalypse, even doing the classic "If you strike me down, someone else will take my place" speech. And instead of doubting him, Apocalypse realizes, "Holy shit, what if you're right?" Cable was probably thinking: "Did... Did I just break Apocalypse by giving him a mid-life crisis?!" It's only when Apocalypse goes, "Oh wait, I can time travel now," that they both snap out of it! 😆
This monologue was also foreshadowing Apocalypse's defeat once and for all (at least until they decided to extend the show. Originally this arc was the final arc of the show. Cyclops and Storm were going to die in the final battle with Apocalypse and Apocalypse is killed by being sent to the end of time by every single psychic character in this show).
@@Darthzilla99 Cyclops and Storm were supposed to die in the Axis of Time? that would have been amazing and it would have made sense given the scale of the battle. Epic fail.
@@Archedgar The original plan was to start a new sequel series called the Uncanny Xmen after this arc. But because of the success of the series, Fox didn't want to change the status quo and continue to keep the core team.
I'm surprised at the reasonable depth of this villain portrayal in a children's show. Of course fighting a time traveler from the future that's committed to your destruction would give you pause and wonder if you're on the right track - I just didn't expect to see that angle in a kids show. I am impressed.
Actually, it’s more than that. This scene takes place in the distant future that Cable calls home, meaning that the Apocalypse that we see here is one that managed to outlive the X-Men in spite of their best efforts. And yet, even with his godlike power, even after literal millennia of warfare and conquest, even after every foe that he has managed to slay, there are still those who fight to make sure that he doesn’t remake the world in his twisted image. At this point, even an immortal being like Apocalypse would start getting fed up.

In this cartoon series, Apocalypse was my favorite antagonist, hands down. Yes he was a bad guy, but saw himself as a necessary evil. He was driven by the "survival of the fittest" ideal, and that is what made him who he was. And with his boatload of abilities, he was nearly unstoppable in his quest. You know you are a beast when whole teams, including the X-men, are attacking you at the same time!
@@jrstuckey1471 Kind of. Sinister had a fantastic story arc with the savage land stuff but he wasn't much of a villain. Ironically, Sinister wasn't all that sinister.

@@DemonEyes622John Colicos. Though this Apocalypse sounds almost 100% like David Kaye (Megatron from Transformers Beast Wars; also Apocalypse from X-Men Evolution). And I've spent my childhood listening to Colicos, so this baffles me.
Give Cable credit: Apocalypse had been unwavering for thousands of years, and my dude just pushed him into a full-blown existential crisis in a matter of seconds. Damn......
" how many have dreamed of my end, you are no closer than the babylonians with their swords and fire sticks uhuhahahaharrha" That line changed my life. True story
It was Great. Comic Books read like that with Certain Villains using old words and Terminology. And the way John Colicos read the lines was just Perfect. Felt Diabolical and Poetic at the same time. I always liked the line he gave to Beast, *"Beast, how many "peoples" have dreamed of my end? You are no closer than the "Babylonians" with their swords and fire sticks!"*
NOW yes. When you were a kid sitting there on a Saturday (the only time this show would air) and it cut to a commercial break at that moment, it was enough to make a person throw a temper tantrum.
Saiol1000 The Crossover not since maybe ultron or maybe Dr. Manhattan has it seen like a villan in a tv series or movie thought things through to where he's borderline having a crisis mid fight
I love how Jack Kirby made both Apocalypse and Darksied but kept them both vastly different. Darksied is more cunning and diabolically evil while Apocalypse is a literal instrument of biblical destruction.
*"Evil? I am not malevolent. I simply am."* As a kid, "Apocalypse=evil" so I didn't understand. As I got older I realized Apocalypse could kill any or all of the X-men if he really wanted but he *chose* to hold back in all of their fights except maybe one. He's right. He's not evil/malevolent.
@C @C wait, yes. I remember him saying it at some kind of press conference. Mike says "I'm not malevolent, I just am. I just wanna live my life... I know there's a bad stigma out there about me... your great gran kids will say 'Wow wasn't that a bizarre individual?'" I'm trying to find the video for you!
This Apocalypse would eat Thanos alive! For his impudence, his hubris the puny insect, that filth! Bro, those were disses, one away from dissing his mum.
I like how every single movement from Apocalypse emits robotic servo noises, no matter how subtle. Either he's some jacked-up cyborg or he's in some insane mech suit made from Celesti
This X-men cartoon when it aired when I was a child. I fell in love with Apocalypse. I remember his quotes for 25 or more years. Than the movie ruined him. Now I come here to watch the one true Apocalypse. Not the fall god in the movie.
yeah I agree they overpowered him yet he doesn't use those powers in the movie. The cartoons have it right. They so ruined the character's first movie appearance.
It wasn't so much that they ruined him. Apocalypse simply is too big of a character to fit into a single movie when you're devoting so much screen time to your high cost actors/actresses. They could have easily made the movie into a 2 parter that really went in depth of the character. Instead we got the Jlaw show that ate up most of the greater characters screen time.
Yea for people who accepts the gayest version of Apocalypse.......Indeed they did ruin him.....And did anyone notice that the movie was geared towards feminists
lol what do you think "existential crisis" meant? a serious revelation on his life and what he is trying to achieve , he dead stopped what he was doing@edntz
I don't see how it is hard for the writers of the film to look at the cartoons and comics for big villains, in this case apocalypse, and borrow elements from them to come up with a good story and make an amazing movie.
I really admire how the villains monologue in this series so much. As if at some moments they can have self reflection or take time to better analyze things in their perspective. It showed that things were just so easy for them yet they still wanted to remain self aware of everything around them
1:27 He halts in unstoppable attack to ponder out loud about his plight. He almost make you feel sorry for him, never being able to achieve his goals and dreams.
I haven't seen this clip in a while, but all I can imagine now is that Tom Hardy thought this Apocalypse would make for a great foundation for his Bane voice.
Wrong. James Blendick is alive and well. You're thinking of John Colicos, the first voice actor of Apocalypse. I've always preferred Blendick's rendition, myself.
As someone as god-like powerful as Apocalypse, he seems to lose almost all of his battles & it was funny that after centuries he finally acknowledges this 😂
He's so overpowered he got bored in the middle of the fight then had an existential crisis and left
Lol right.
Kinda funny when you say it like that, cause it's true, he just leaves.
That’s always how it is with him. He shows up, says “I am Apocalypse. I am eternal.” Grows big, beats everyone’s ass until he gets bored, and then he just fucks off 😂
Amazing. For all of Apocalypse's abilities, he can't hit a guy at point-blank range.
@@stephenbarone4053 He knew Cable was no real threat to him

“Look upon me and tremble, for I bring the purity of oblivion to your world!”
I like how Cable's team can't even make a dent in the door, but Cable himself takes care of it effortlessly... XD
he doesn't trust them with real guns
Or maybe a detail implemented by Apocalypse? You just never know what his intentions were / are...unless he monologues them to you.
Yeah, they weren't gonna do much in that fight against Apocalypse anyway if that's the best they could do.
Cable probably used his powers off to bust through it
The voice actor for this version of Apocalypse is, for me, the definitive version of this character.
he was also the first klingon in star trek
@@DemonEyes622John Colicos. Though this Apocalypse sounds almost 100% like David Kaye (Megatron from Transformers Beast Wars; also Apocalypse from X-Men Evolution). And I've spent my childhood listening to Colicos, so this baffles me.
@@dice_for_death No, David Kaye's version of Apocalypse was far less grandiose and dramatic as this version.
Give Cable credit: Apocalypse had been unwavering for thousands of years, and my dude just pushed him into a full-blown existential crisis in a matter of seconds. Damn......
he pulled a Linkara lol
😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Apocalypse has the best villainous one liners in history
" how many have dreamed of my end, you are no closer than the babylonians with their swords and fire sticks uhuhahahaharrha" That line changed my life. True story
God, the dialogue in this series was Grade A stuff. “I am the rocks of the eternal shore, crash against me and be broken!”.
I love how dramatic this Apocalypse was
He kills me when apocalypse says right noooooooooooowwwwwww!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jamil Lapread i swear i was gonna comment on that and then i read this comment lol. Right Noooooowwwww
Same here 😂
Sound like a 4 year old playing with action figures
@@thaghozt215🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Man the way Apocalypse talks. Excellent excellent work
This is the real Apocalypse. Not that trash one from X Men Apocalypse.
ROB so much creativity they could of done with computers and they put some random garbage? Unacceptable
Exactly this is the real apocalypse
Yes!!!!!!
WITHOUT A DOUBT
That's the worst adaptation in history
The moment when “you shall pay for your huberis” right nooowwwww!!!!
I love that delivery!!!
1:32-1:55 My thoughts exactly Poc: How can the "90's" cartoon variant be more provocative and analytical than his 2016 cinematic counterpart? HOW?!!!!
They just quietely snuck the word hubris in a kids show and nobody thinks it s out of place. 90s kids shows were something
It was Great. Comic Books read like that with Certain Villains using old words and Terminology. And the way John Colicos read the lines was just Perfect. Felt Diabolical and Poetic at the same time. I always liked the line he gave to Beast, *"Beast, how many "peoples" have dreamed of my end? You are no closer than the "Babylonians" with their swords and fire sticks!"*
0:48! Possibly the funniest thing I've ever heard.
NOW yes.
When you were a kid sitting there on a Saturday (the only time this show would air) and it cut to a commercial break at that moment, it was enough to make a person throw a temper tantrum.
1:09 "The world won't stomach your evil forever!"
* hip thrust for emphasis *
One of the best animated cartoons ever
“BLASPHEMER!! YOU DEFILE MY SACRED CHAMBER!!!”
Anytime someone disturbs me while I’m taking a dump.
@01:28 possibly the greatest realisation moment of any villain in fiction
sreddi83 I think he was the only one who even pondered that, too! Like, my mind has just been blown! 😮
True
Saiol1000 The Crossover not since maybe ultron or maybe Dr. Manhattan has it seen like a villan in a tv series or movie thought things through to where he's borderline having a crisis mid fight
I know right, at some point villains have to stop and think *why do I always lose??*
I love how Jack Kirby made both Apocalypse and Darksied but kept them both vastly different. Darksied is more cunning and diabolically evil while Apocalypse is a literal instrument of biblical destruction.
*"Evil? I am not malevolent. I simply am."*
As a kid, "Apocalypse=evil" so I didn't understand. As I got older I realized Apocalypse could kill any or all of the X-men if he really wanted but he *chose* to hold back in all of their fights except maybe one. He's right. He's not evil/malevolent.
That one being the erased timeline in the 2nd season where he kills the X-men and Bishop in a rage right?
@@ericdugdale8585 Yep, that's the one.
@C where did he say that??? I'd love to see it.
@C @C wait, yes. I remember him saying it at some kind of press conference. Mike says "I'm not malevolent, I just am. I just wanna live my life... I know there's a bad stigma out there about me... your great gran kids will say 'Wow wasn't that a bizarre individual?'" I'm trying to find the video for you!
@C I found it! th-cam.com/video/Nq75_qFDJE8/w-d-xo.html go to 2:05
"Never win?""INSECT" 😂
Apocalypse was all sad there for a moment 😢
This Apocalypse would eat Thanos alive! For his impudence, his hubris the puny insect, that filth! Bro, those were disses, one away from dissing his mum.
His voice would always scare the crap out of me as a kid, and the fact that no one would ever hurt him 😂
0:49 That's a LITTLE over the top acting right there apocalypse💯😂
You are closer to defeating me then the Babylonians with their swords and fire sticks.
When you're five thousand years old, I imagine EVERYTHING is an existential crisis. 🤷🏾♂️
I like how every single movement from Apocalypse emits robotic servo noises, no matter how subtle.
Either he's some jacked-up cyborg or he's in some insane mech suit made from Celesti
"YOU SHALL PAAAAYY FOR YOUR HUBRIS…..RIIIIIIGHHHT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW"!
The delivery of that line, especially the "righhht naaaaaooooooo"!
This is the Apocalypse that I recognize and enjoy! John Colicos was amazing.
"You presume to attempt to destroy me, mutant?"
"Uhm, you're the first ever mutant in history.."
"Why thank you, mutant"
This X-men cartoon when it aired when I was a child. I fell in love with Apocalypse. I remember his quotes for 25 or more years. Than the movie ruined him. Now I come here to watch the one true Apocalypse. Not the fall god in the movie.
If the movie made apocalypse like this then it might have been watchable
Apocalypse was so damn dramatic 😂😂
When apocalypse is better here than a high million dollar budget
aw man he was so good Its such a piss off they ruined apocalypse in the movies
yeah I agree they overpowered him yet he doesn't use those powers in the movie. The cartoons have it right. They so ruined the character's first movie appearance.
They didn't ruin Apocalypse.
It wasn't so much that they ruined him. Apocalypse simply is too big of a character to fit into a single movie when you're devoting so much screen time to your high cost actors/actresses. They could have easily made the movie into a 2 parter that really went in depth of the character. Instead we got the Jlaw show that ate up most of the greater characters screen time.
Yea for people who accepts the gayest version of Apocalypse.......Indeed they did ruin him.....And did anyone notice that the movie was geared towards feminists
observer36 the age of the _sjw_ ...
Apocalypse has an "A" on his belt, right above his dingus. Hahahahaaa!
''what bothers me is that he didn't finish me off'' ....whoa, Cable.
Apocalypse and his vocabulary is the best, the way he has the epiphany in the middle of the fight, just brilliant.
The fact that Apocalypse had a existential crisis in the middle of a fight is hilarious lol
lol what do you think "existential crisis" meant? a serious revelation on his life and what he is trying to achieve , he dead stopped what he was doing@edntz
the thing is you are interpreting that phrase as a form of depression but just google the word and you'll see why I used it@edntz
So sad we never got to see this Apocalypse on the big screen.
Yeah I was so disappointed in the 2016 Apocalypse movie 🎥,
That Apocalypse was weak.
Yeah we got that Ivan Ooze knock off instead. lol
@@macuser7048 hahahhaa, i dont know why, but that comment seriously made me lmao
I don't see how it is hard for the writers of the film to look at the cartoons and comics for big villains, in this case apocalypse, and borrow elements from them to come up with a good story and make an amazing movie.
The way cable is experienced with his powers and time travel is so amazing
Apocalypse is the greatest villain. He is amazing.
I have the comics he first show up in many years ago in the bargain bin at my comic book store
Craig Simmons That would go to Magneto.
Craig Simmons very smart villian. That mutant has been thru all the times
eh, I disagree
True he is much more than villain, or in his Own words I am but an instrument of destiny.
John Colicos Is The Best Apocalypse Voice Ever!
This was one of my favorite episodes! Thank you for the upload!
"You shall *pay* for your hubris... RIGHT NOOOOWWWW!!"
The dialogue In that clip is better than all the X-Men movies combined
"I am not malevolent. I simply am!" Huge Tom Hardy's Bane vibes.
apocalypse have epic marvel voice actor ever
Apocalypse was voiced by John Colicos of Battlestar Galactica 1980,
Cable= kyle Reese of marvel.
He's John Connor and the Terminator and Miles Dyson
A manly space marine.
The script and story of the X-MEN cartoon was way better then the comic movies these days
I really admire how the villains monologue in this series so much.
As if at some moments they can have self reflection or take time to better analyze things in their perspective.
It showed that things were just so easy for them yet they still wanted to remain self aware of everything around them
Early Stewie Griffin must have got his vocabulary from Apocalypse
The one thing I loved and enjoyed about 90’s X-men they all talked 💩 while fighting. Lol
1:27 He halts in unstoppable attack to ponder out loud about his plight. He almost make you feel sorry for him, never being able to achieve his goals and dreams.
I haven't seen this clip in a while, but all I can imagine now is that Tom Hardy thought this Apocalypse would make for a great foundation for his Bane voice.
Just love how apocolypse speak
I am not malevolent I simply am! That's pretty deep.
RIIIGHT NAAAUUUUWWW
Cable: "I will kill you, Apocalypse!"
Apoc: "I'm a God. How can you kill a God? What a grand and intoxicating innocence!"
“I am doomed to struggle with such filth until the end of time?”😞
Apocalypse's monolog about never succeeding implies that he actually listens to the words of his enemies and actually considers their words.
He HAS to sound at least close to this in his MCU debut. 👌🏾😂
They should have gotten this voice actor to play Apocalypse in the movie
he's dead.
u235u235u235 lmao
u235u235u235 wtf!?!?!?!?
John Colicos passed away over 20 years ago.
Calling someone insect and filth while talking calmly is hilarious!!
Wow! I don't remember Apocalypse being this deep. 😲
Apocalypse's have voice of Poseidon in God of War III
Hard to do, given that the voice actor died in 2000.
You dare challenge me mortal?
Wrong. James Blendick is alive and well. You're thinking of John Colicos, the first voice actor of Apocalypse. I've always preferred Blendick's rendition, myself.
As someone as god-like powerful as Apocalypse, he seems to lose almost all of his battles & it was funny that after centuries he finally acknowledges this 😂
The beginning of where Cable says, “Cover me”, it reminds me of Marvel vs Capcom 2, when he asks for assistance.
"RIIIIIIIIIIIGHT NOOOOOOOOOOW!"
Ah, love classic Apocalypse ^_^
