Excellent (What’s up?) doc there. My fave Marvin toon is 1952’s “Hasty Hare”, where himself utters those immortal words, “Oh! That wasn't a bit nice! [huff, puff] You have made me very angry, [huff, puff] very angry indeed!" BTW back in the early 60s I met “The Man of a Thousand Voices” himself. My family were at a corporate childrens' Xmas party at Casa Loma in Toronto. Every ballroom, hallway and stairwell of this real live castle was filled with musicians, clowns, magicians and jugglers...and a quietly-smiling, unassuming man in a neat dark suit and a tiny moustache. He complimented my little sister, literally a "babe in arms", telling her "Ohhhh! What a tweet widdle girl you are!" She was unimpressed and a little shy but I was thunderstruck as he turned to me and offered his hand burbling (and slobbering) "And what's YOUR name young fella!" Tweety and Sylvester... Mel Blanc in the flesh! My Mom says my mouth did not close for a whole week after!
A key rule to characters is the eyes. Eyes can be used to to convey emotions and reactions when other key elements like the mouth are covered or nonexistent.
I wonder if he’s the reason a couple Wander Over Yonder characters (Wander, Hater, Dominator) wear tennis shoes as well. I always liked the “absurdity” of it, but wasn’t sure why
I think the thing that really drew me to Marvin and made him my favorite looney tune was the juxtaposition between his overall appearance and demeanor against his motivations and role in most shorts. His design and voice are adorable and I have an overwhelming desire to squeeze him, which makes the fact that he is constantly trying to literally blow up the planet and kill billions of people darkly hilarious.
A little underrated, yeah. Everybody loves him. He’s just not in a lot of cartoons and he’s in comics and the modern Looney Tunes shows but nobody checks them out apart from Looney Tunes Cartoons
I always loved how both Marvin and Taz were barely used in the original shorts, but because of their cult popularity, they became 2 of the 3 most used LT characters starting in the 90's. The third being Tweety, because he was the girl's merchandising counterpart. Taz did see a rise in the late 80's, with an odd late stage release Atari 2600 game. As for Marvin's cancelled movie, I did see an uptick in Marvin merchandise when the film was first announced, including a Christmas T-shirt which was just a regular Marvin shirt with a Santa hat photoshopped on there. And I still have both versions of that shirt.
Marvin means a lot to me as he was my first doll/plushie ever, and I brought him with me everywhere to the point my mom had to buy me another one as I got older.
Seeing all of these Marvin clips without the actual sound makes it so impressive to look at how his design made them unable to show that he was talking through most conventional methods and the "head bobbing" technique usually used would have looked a bit off, yet somehow you can still tell when he's meant to be speaking, even in instances when he doesn't actually move much while doing so.
Marvin the martian is definitely an interesting character. He's inventive, soft-spoken, and, while he sometimes may screw up, at least he's a refined type. He was also great as the referee in "Space Jam." BTW, I bet he'll have a larger role, in the sequel, next year.
I have a theory that Daffy is also a Martian, since whenever his beak gets shot, he turns into a dark figure with no mouth much like Marvin and in Looney Tunes show, when he asked if he's a duck, he doesn't know as it [beak] comes off easily.
I just think it's a funny ha-ha theme with duck toons and beaks. I mean...same thing happened to Donald, right here. th-cam.com/video/ZRHWisOiA3s/w-d-xo.html
"Where is the Kaboom?" Personally Marvin the Martian realyy had an interesting history, but it's voice which I so fondly remember. Plus it's a good thing that Taz and Marvin the Martian have been fan favorites from Audiences through pop culture and world events after their initial 4-5 episode appearances in the late 1940's and 1950's.
Marvin the Martian was always my favorite Looney Tunes character ever since I was a little kid, but I liked him originally pretty much just because he was an alien with a cool helmet and I was fascinated by the mystery of his lacking a mouth. I thought about that quite a lot as a kid actually
Back in Action was a fairly uneventful movie whenever Marvin wasn't around. The Area 52 invasion and Marvin's battle with Daffy and Duck Dodgers were the highlights of that movie.
I do have a wisecrack to make about Pepe Le Pew; I never get to see Pepe Le Pew, in his winter gear. I never even saw Pepe Le Pew in his swimwear; it's all about what's never been before, something that's very rare.
You know it's strange, because I've only seen Marvin in Space Jam and don't know his name at the time, but I immediately latched on to him because of his design. And because he was in a lot of merch. As an 8 year old I had a crush on him even tho he is marketed as the typical "I'll destroy you" kind of villain. He's just that adorable. My crush on him solidified during the Playstation One era. The "Bugs Bunny Lost In Time" game had him as one of the bosses and had a preview of his character and personality. I loved him anyway even tho he could kill me /laugh. There must be something about Marvin's design that makes him lovable to kids at first sight!
I had a crush on Swayzak (obscure Toonami character), who is similar to Marvin. That's why I had a crush on Marvin too. I had the most Marvin merch out of all the Looney Tunes.
Along with Yosemite Sam, Marvin the Martian is my favorite Looney Tunes antagonist. The favorite design is obviously the design from Duck Dodgers (in 24:th 1/2 Century). Yes, Marvin should be continued to be used as he is an interesting villian and fits well with Duck Dodgers and is a great alternative to Elmer and Sam.
28:00 The most underrated character in Baby Looney Tunes, since he only appeared in one episode. Too bad he got shunned by the other babies except for Taz, until they befriended him. Wonder how he does had there been more appearances of him (except for the music videos).
Marvin the Marvian: Now I am gonna blow out the Earth. Earth in 2020: global warming, pollution, terrorism, mass deforestation, overpopulation, crazy politicians and coronavirus pandemic. Marvin the Martian: Oh ! Nevermind...
Marvin: "Now that I don't have to worry about earth anymore time to get back to my project. Finding out if there is a second planet in the solar system with intelligent life.".. "Could it be that Mars is the only one?"
He's my favorite Looney Tunes character, and I still have one of those VHS tapes with the collected cartoons! He's also the only cartoon character that I can do a really good impression of!
More Marvin! He deserves more exposure, have crossed the Looney Tunes universe for decades. I think Marvin could support a stand alone film. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️🕳️
Since I grew up with space jam and was my first time seeing marvin. That's my favorite version. Love also that he was so important to the creation of space jam
One thing I really love about Marvin's character is how his voice manages to sound as though he is completely new to the planet, when he says things like "you make me VERY angry!" it literally just sounds as though a foreigner has google translated something into English because absolutely nobody speaks like that. I always thought that was a lovely detail seeing as he's obviously from Mars and not Earth
I have quite a history with Marvin, you see I got a Marvin the Martian Plushie for an award in a costume contest I didn't know who he was until I did some research and now he is my favourite character because of his temper and his demeanor
I loved Marvin in Space Tunes, Duck Dodgers, and the Looney Tunes Show! My favorite design is the red and green color scheme. And I want to see Marvin and Daffy in their own movies!
YES! More Marvin in the future please!! As a 90s kid I LOVE Space Jam, bit of a guilty pleasure of mine. But my favorite classic appearance was 'Hareway To The Stars' particularly where a blown up bedraggled Marvin states 'Well...Back to the old drawing board!' LOLZ!
Marvin is my 2nd favorite loony toons character just under Daffy. 🦆 👽 Duck Dodgers being the reason for both. The concept of a soft spoken evil alien with a short temper is pretty funny.
Another great video. Marvin despite not having appear in many shorts originally, he has become an icon of the Looney Tunes. By far his Duck Dodgers short is his best appearance.
I've got a long history of my love for Marvin the Martian. I've even noticed that he has several girls that see him as cartoon heartthrob. I've also seen that many of them are not pleased by his sad fates and how he's treated. Just because he is a villain doesn't me others have to be tough on him. We all want to see more of Marvin and even make a headline in a series of his own. So far, all these LT series are dominated by Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety, and Taz. No matter how popular Marvin gets, WB will not give him the importance he deserves. I decided that I had to do something about it. That is why I have created a series of own I want to introduce to WB that features Marvin as a headline character along with girlfriend I created for him, Mabel the Martian. She is like a Martian girl Barbie doll and is quite a kind-hearted alien. Mabel unlike Bugs and Daffy shows love to Marvin and helps save the Earth by being nice to him. From there, Marvin is going to show what made him decide to blow up the Earth in the first place. Many fans like me believe that it is very likely he was exploited and bullied by Earthlings in the past. His saying about high school being a horrible time for him shows some evidence. Mabel the Martian girl comes to give him comfort and explains why he doesn't have to blow up the planet. With that, he'll have happier endings. Another thing I am willing to do is to bring back Marcia who is often thought to be Marvin's niece. She will be an in-between main and supporting character making her like Mabel's version of Kelly (Barbie's former little sister). I realized that having Marvin's protege having only one appearance and not being a teacher at Acme University proves that WB is throwing us fans in the dirt. A lot of fans also really loved Marcia and I do too. They wish she appeared more and therefore, I have their backs and want to make it come true with my cartoons. Marcia is 5-year old Kindergartener Martian is like a lot of little girls in my series and is often taken care of by her uncle Marvin and Mabel. Mabel also shows that many non-Earth inhabitants are actually more environmentally friendly with their planet then humans are. They think twice before looking for how to survive. Therefore, they can answer how humans, animals, plants and the Earth's environment can all be happy at the same time without anybody struggling. The thing about that is to end interplanetary speciesism, my new word for in way as if we discriminate and exploit non-Earth inhabitants by stereotyping them as evil in fictional works. If humans are already being shown to be a virus or a cruel creature for the Earth there is no need to make aliens look worse because there has got to being something intelligent + complicated thinking skills as we do while at the same time keeps their planet sustainable for them. That is something I would explain to Jones if he were alive today. Mabel has a lot of other Martian girl friends to add to the mix and many of them have a crush on Marvin. It is a unique and original idea I thought of. Combining sci-fi and chick flicks by bringing a bunch of alien girls into the spirit of fashion, princesses, etc.
yea its a very interesting and cute idea!! and i couldnt agree more, marvin doesn’t get the screen-time he deserves. WB should really pay attention because the amount of marvin fangirls i’ve seen online is overwhelming !! If that isn’t enough proof that Marvin is a beloved and awesome character that deserves to be fleshed out in his own series, then i don’t know what is. Nevertheless , i do have some good news. There is a new looney tunes series coming out that takes place in the WB studio i believe, and also a new animaniacs reboot. Not to mention the announcement of Space Jam 2, of course!!! we are getting so much more looney tunes content, so we’re guaranteed more marvin the martian content :”) Honestly, i want to see more of porky the pig too, since he’s one of my favorite looney tunes!! >\\
@@linalokir2178 Remix mi I I i ne issues Marvin yeah it's him yeah lol it's h8m yeah o my good yeah o yes its wonderful space jam 2 will be awesome lol lol lolol it's l o l that's how wait i don't even know what im remixing now
I'd say I like Marvin in Duck Dodgers best. Added to that, Robin Hood Daffy and Duck Amuck are two of the funniest Looney Tunes cartoons ever created. I like Marvin but not as much as Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. I'd like to see the Evolution of Wile E. Coyote & Road Runner sometime. Road Runner always knows how to outsmart his ever-hungry adversary. Wile E. Coyote always ends up on the receiving end of falling over cliff edges, and being blown up by every kind of explosive in the book. It's so hard not to laugh out loud, when he gets squashed, stung by bees, pricked by cacti and more besides. He can't even outwit Bugs Bunny, who loves to make his plans backfire in more ways than one.
Ive just watched this - fantastic as ever. You put a lot of effort into these videos and it's a pleasure to watch them :) My favourite Marvin moments are the first two cartoons that I remember watching starring him; Hareway to the Stars and Duck Dodgers (both featured in the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Movie). A recent highlight is his ode to the laser beam (featured in the Looney Tunes show). Love it! Thank you again😁
Thanks, it's much appreciated. And you're right, there is a lot of work in them. Sometime 2-3 solid weeks work. Glad you enjoy them. Thanks for watching.
Apologies if I missed it, but there's another significant appearance of Marvin, in 1977's Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Roy is frantically building a pile of assorted crap, hoping to form it into the image haunting his subconscious. On the TV, we hear "H-h-happy birthday, you thing from another world, you!" Porky hands Marvin a cake with lighted candles. No need for spoilers, you know what happens next.
Nice video! I like all the cultural and historical background. It adds a lot to the story of why the character resonated with people and became popular. I appreciate the work that went into this.
Brilliant as always. Marvin's a fantastic character. On a side-note, if anyone has a recorded U.K. broadcast of Space Jam from the 90s (like I did on VHS, which was recorded over with Neighbours! Thanks, Mum), please let me know. It had some commercials that I cannot find anywhere online and I'd love to see them archived. I know at least one of them was a Weet-A-Bix commercial and there was also a Sega one. Thanks in advance.
I watched the Looney Tunes cartoons. When I was a kid. And now I have grandkids. And my oldest grandson who is 8. Said to me thanks granddad. For introducing me to Bugs Bunny. And Batman. And you look at their birthdays too. They are not far apart.
Great Video! There was also a reference to Marvin in Young Justice, where Miss Martian pranks a fellow student by morphing into a scary version of Marvin.
I've read Leonard Maltin's history of animated cartoons, both volumes of Chuck Amuck, but had never before heard the name "Antwerp" which is pretty hilarious!
Amazing to think that a lot was taken into consideration for Marvin's creation and how it relates to the Space craze of the 50s-60s. Hell, Star Wars exists because of this Martian. Not to mention that he's even on a Mars Rover. Simply amazing
For the last half decade, I've heard about the possibility of people settling in Mars. Even plans for it to happen. I had no idea that this was a thing since the late 1800's. Very intriguing.
I think you forgot one thing, Marvin made a very short cameo in a Halloween episode of Young Justice when Miss Martian transform into a Marvin shaped thing to scare some people as a prank.
Friz Freleng thought Elmer Fudd wasn't aggressive enough. He also thought Fudd was too dumb. So, he gave us Yosemite Sam! Are you planning to cover him at some point?
'Duck Dodgers' and 'Hareway to the Stars' are my two favourites. I especially love the no-mouth black Martian face, prim English-tutor tone of voice, and hyper tennis-shod-foot movements.
These Evolution of Videos you do are absolutely amazing man, love all the History that I learn throughout watching them, Thanks for the great work, and content!
My favorite joke is when bugs is trying to trick him on earth. You see him whispering something to Marvin. And then Marvin immediately turns on K9. Perfectly timed.
My favourite appearance will always be Marvin The Martian In The 3rd Dimension as it was the first 3D/4D film I ever saw. Loved Space Jam as a kid but was only four at the time so I don't recall his rise to popularity properly. Did a pointillism drawing of him in early high school but mostly because I saw a picture of him in class.
In "Elmer's Canid Camera", Elmer just wanted to take photos of wildlife, but Happy Rabbit kept bothering him and driving him crazy. When I first watched the short, I was kind of routing for Elmer. And at the end when Happy saves Elmer from drowning, he just kicks him back into the water! Now is that cruel or what?!
Nothing like enjoying a fantastic video on my favorite Martian!( and great rival to Duck Dodgers!) Its as exciting as blowing up a planet with my Illudium Pew 36 Explosive Space Modulator!

Excellent (What’s up?) doc there. My fave Marvin toon is 1952’s “Hasty Hare”, where himself utters those immortal words, “Oh! That wasn't a bit nice! [huff, puff] You have made me very angry, [huff, puff] very angry indeed!" BTW back in the early 60s I met “The Man of a Thousand Voices” himself. My family were at a corporate childrens' Xmas party at Casa Loma in Toronto. Every ballroom, hallway and stairwell of this real live castle was filled with musicians, clowns, magicians and jugglers...and a quietly-smiling, unassuming man in a neat dark suit and a tiny moustache. He complimented my little sister, literally a "babe in arms", telling her "Ohhhh! What a tweet widdle girl you are!" She was unimpressed and a little shy but I was thunderstruck as he turned to me and offered his hand burbling (and slobbering) "And what's YOUR name young fella!" Tweety and Sylvester... Mel Blanc in the flesh! My Mom says my mouth did not close for a whole week after!
This is such an amazing story - and what an incredible memory! Thank you for sharing this!
Awesome!
:)
I agree what a great story
It’s is a good story
Always loved how simplistic, yet charming Marvin's design always was
He's practically the most unchanged character in Looney Tunes history.
One thing I admire from Marvin shorts is the fact that his face can emote even without a mouth
Pretty cool isn't it! Great how his creators could make him emote like that.
@SketchBook Cartoons then how is he eating, drinking and breathing?
sketchbook’s cartoons he probably does have a mouth but of course you don’t see it.
A key rule to characters is the eyes. Eyes can be used to to convey emotions and reactions when other key elements like the mouth are covered or nonexistent.
Adding eyebrows also are a huge factor when it comes to creating characters
I wonder if he’s the reason a couple Wander Over Yonder characters (Wander, Hater, Dominator) wear tennis shoes as well. I always liked the “absurdity” of it, but wasn’t sure why
Maybe because wander is based off the old looney tunes cartoons.
I like to think Marvin was the inspiration behind commander peepers
@@TheZomboy1 ye because they both have no mouth both are short they are both adorable and the way they walk
Peepers is just a louder version of Marvin lol
I think the thing that really drew me to Marvin and made him my favorite looney tune was the juxtaposition between his overall appearance and demeanor against his motivations and role in most shorts. His design and voice are adorable and I have an overwhelming desire to squeeze him, which makes the fact that he is constantly trying to literally blow up the planet and kill billions of people darkly hilarious.
I feel like marvin has to be one of the most underrated looney tunes character ever
But at least he’s one of the cartoon character kings of merchandise in the world.
He’s not really underrated
Yea, BUUUUT...... he has a Loooottt of merch. So, yea he’s still underrated
A little underrated, yeah. Everybody loves him. He’s just not in a lot of cartoons and he’s in comics and the modern Looney Tunes shows but nobody checks them out apart from Looney Tunes Cartoons
Caleb Kuti I watched the looney tunes show but not so much but I put as the Seinfeld show timeline of the looney tunes.
I always loved how both Marvin and Taz were barely used in the original shorts, but because of their cult popularity, they became 2 of the 3 most used LT characters starting in the 90's.

And I still have both versions of that shirt.
lol 😂
Another character to keep a eye on is the Wile e Coyote. The new generation just wanting once for him to finally catch Beep Beep. Ha ha lol. I joke.
The one thing I keep noticing about Marvin is how he really is out there in terms of character design, compared to the others
Well he is an alien from other planet. It actually makes sense, plotwise.
Marvin means a lot to me as he was my first doll/plushie ever, and I brought him with me everywhere to the point my mom had to buy me another one as I got older.
You were so lucky to have a Marvin doll/plush, I have one even now I'm an adult !
Seeing all of these Marvin clips without the actual sound makes it so impressive to look at how his design made them unable to show that he was talking through most conventional methods and the "head bobbing" technique usually used would have looked a bit off, yet somehow you can still tell when he's meant to be speaking, even in instances when he doesn't actually move much while doing so.

Oh this didn't age well.
@@saturn9740 He did have a larger role in the second movie, compared to the first movie though. But that doesn't say much.
I guess you could say that, it would have been cool to see him at least play
@@saturn9740 It would’ve been cool to see him play, but the part he played was still funny.
But..........he's an alien on a team that's going against aliens
I have a theory that Daffy is also a Martian, since whenever his beak gets shot, he turns into a dark figure with no mouth much like Marvin and in Looney Tunes show, when he asked if he's a duck, he doesn't know as it [beak] comes off easily.
Nice theory!
That also explains Duck Dodgers!
Then how in Duck Dodgers in the 24 1/2 century original short and 2003 TV series he fights against martians? Does Daffy betray his own kind?
@@alex9920ro Hmmm... maybe
I just think it's a funny ha-ha theme with duck toons and beaks. I mean...same thing happened to Donald, right here. th-cam.com/video/ZRHWisOiA3s/w-d-xo.html
Wow, I never realized how underutilized Marvin the Martian was especially on how popular Marvin is.
"Where is the Kaboom?"
Personally Marvin the Martian realyy had an interesting history, but it's voice which I so fondly remember.
Plus it's a good thing that Taz and Marvin the Martian have been fan favorites from Audiences through pop culture and world events after their initial 4-5 episode appearances in the late 1940's and 1950's.
There was supposed to be an earth shattering kaboom
Marvin the Martian was always my favorite Looney Tunes character ever since I was a little kid, but I liked him originally pretty much just because he was an alien with a cool helmet and I was fascinated by the mystery of his lacking a mouth. I thought about that quite a lot as a kid actually
Back in Action was a fairly uneventful movie whenever Marvin wasn't around. The Area 52 invasion and Marvin's battle with Daffy and Duck Dodgers were the highlights of that movie.

I do have a wisecrack to make about Pepe Le Pew; I never get to see Pepe Le Pew, in his winter gear. I never even saw Pepe Le Pew in his swimwear; it's all about what's never been before, something that's very rare.
Fifi La Fume is the same thing; never do I ever get to see her in her winter gear, however still I've seen her in her swimwear. That's more than once.
What about Shirley the loon? She's the same thing. The only thing different is that; she never even had a male or female counterpart.
Deep secret; I've never seen Pepe Le Pew as, Marvin the Martian's enemy.
Marvin had a small role, but a large impact on the franchise
Growing up in the 80's Marvin was and is my favorite Looney Tunes character but his episodes were so rare. Was always exciting to see him.
Marvin the Martian: Losing to Bugs Bunny makes me very angry! (panting in anger) Very angry indeed!
I would love to see Marvin as a leading character in a series 😀
I would have loved a Marvin the Martian movie!!!
O_O

Wonder how he does had there been more appearances of him (except for the music videos).
I love how even though the meme is dead, Dave still puts Big chungus in the thumbnails.
Legends never die
Marvin the Marvian: Now I am gonna blow out the Earth.
Earth in 2020: global warming, pollution, terrorism, mass deforestation, overpopulation, crazy politicians and coronavirus pandemic.
Marvin the Martian: Oh ! Nevermind...
Marvin the Martian: "Oh drat..."
Marvin: It would appear that the Earth is destroying itself. Oh well, back to the old drawing board.
Marvin: "Now that I don't have to worry about earth anymore time to get back to my project. Finding out if there is a second planet in the solar system with intelligent life."..
"Could it be that Mars is the only one?"
Marvin: Oh goody..
Marvin proceed to blow up the sun.
I'm so glad that a whole half hour video was made in dedication and honour to Marvin, he really deserves the spotlight I love him sm ♡
I want to see Marvin the Martian more often!
He's my favorite Looney Tunes character, and I still have one of those VHS tapes with the collected cartoons! He's also the only cartoon character that I can do a really good impression of!

Since I grew up with space jam and was my first time seeing marvin. That's my favorite version. Love also that he was so important to the creation of space jam
Good thing they really shafted him in the second movie by making him lose his ship and then barely seen again throughout the rest of the movie huh?
@@amandageorge9100 He had more screentime in the second movie, and that's one of the reasons why I like A New Legacy better than the original!

I love Marvin so happy this one came out
you put it right at the start for a reason. that line is one of my favourites of all time from looney tunes.

No, I mean:

Another great video. Marvin despite not having appear in many shorts originally, he has become an icon of the Looney Tunes. By far his Duck Dodgers short is his best appearance.
Marvin is an adorable innocent bean on so many levels
I agree that he’s adorable, but idk about innocent tho…
I was obsessed with Marvin the Martian as a kid (born 92). He will always have a special place in my heart.
I liked Marvin’s voice evaluations! He was a unique Martian!
I've got a long history of my love for Marvin the Martian. I've even noticed that he has several girls that see him as cartoon heartthrob. I've also seen that many of them are not pleased by his sad fates and how he's treated. Just because he is a villain doesn't me others have to be tough on him. We all want to see more of Marvin and even make a headline in a series of his own. So far, all these LT series are dominated by Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, Tweety, and Taz. No matter how popular Marvin gets, WB will not give him the importance he deserves. I decided that I had to do something about it.
That is why I have created a series of own I want to introduce to WB that features Marvin as a headline character along with girlfriend I created for him, Mabel the Martian. She is like a Martian girl Barbie doll and is quite a kind-hearted alien. Mabel unlike Bugs and Daffy shows love to Marvin and helps save the Earth by being nice to him. From there, Marvin is going to show what made him decide to blow up the Earth in the first place. Many fans like me believe that it is very likely he was exploited and bullied by Earthlings in the past. His saying about high school being a horrible time for him shows some evidence. Mabel the Martian girl comes to give him comfort and explains why he doesn't have to blow up the planet. With that, he'll have happier endings. Another thing I am willing to do is to bring back Marcia who is often thought to be Marvin's niece. She will be an in-between main and supporting character making her like Mabel's version of Kelly (Barbie's former little sister). I realized that having Marvin's protege having only one appearance and not being a teacher at Acme University proves that WB is throwing us fans in the dirt. A lot of fans also really loved Marcia and I do too. They wish she appeared more and therefore, I have their backs and want to make it come true with my cartoons. Marcia is 5-year old Kindergartener Martian is like a lot of little girls in my series and is often taken care of by her uncle Marvin and Mabel.
Mabel also shows that many non-Earth inhabitants are actually more environmentally friendly with their planet then humans are. They think twice before looking for how to survive. Therefore, they can answer how humans, animals, plants and the Earth's environment can all be happy at the same time without anybody struggling. The thing about that is to end interplanetary speciesism, my new word for in way as if we discriminate and exploit non-Earth inhabitants by stereotyping them as evil in fictional works. If humans are already being shown to be a virus or a cruel creature for the Earth there is no need to make aliens look worse because there has got to being something intelligent + complicated thinking skills as we do while at the same time keeps their planet sustainable for them. That is something I would explain to Jones if he were alive today. Mabel has a lot of other Martian girl friends to add to the mix and many of them have a crush on Marvin. It is a unique and original idea I thought of. Combining sci-fi and chick flicks by bringing a bunch of alien girls into the spirit of fashion, princesses, etc.
i was not prepared for this omg but i appreciate the way you think
@@purplebugg Really??
yea its a very interesting and cute idea!! and i couldnt agree more, marvin doesn’t get the screen-time he deserves. WB should really pay attention because the amount of marvin fangirls i’ve seen online is overwhelming !! If that isn’t enough proof that Marvin is a beloved and awesome character that deserves to be fleshed out in his own series, then i don’t know what is.
Nevertheless , i do have some good news. There is a new looney tunes series coming out that takes place in the WB studio i believe, and also a new animaniacs reboot. Not to mention the announcement of Space Jam 2, of course!!! we are getting so much more looney tunes content, so we’re guaranteed more marvin the martian content :”) Honestly, i want to see more of porky the pig too, since he’s one of my favorite looney tunes!! >\\
@@purplebugg Marvin is mine im a fanboy
@@linalokir2178 Remix mi I I i ne issues Marvin yeah it's him yeah lol it's h8m yeah o my good yeah o yes its wonderful space jam 2 will be awesome lol lol lolol it's l o l that's how wait i don't even know what im remixing now
I'd say I like Marvin in Duck Dodgers best. Added to that, Robin Hood Daffy and Duck Amuck are two of the funniest Looney Tunes cartoons ever created. I like Marvin but not as much as Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner. I'd like to see the Evolution of Wile E. Coyote & Road Runner sometime. Road Runner always knows how to outsmart his ever-hungry adversary. Wile E. Coyote always ends up on the receiving end of falling over cliff edges, and being blown up by every kind of explosive in the book. It's so hard not to laugh out loud, when he gets squashed, stung by bees, pricked by cacti and more besides. He can't even outwit Bugs Bunny, who loves to make his plans backfire in more ways than one.
I agree with this entire statement.
Ive just watched this - fantastic as ever. You put a lot of effort into these videos and it's a pleasure to watch them :)
My favourite Marvin moments are the first two cartoons that I remember watching starring him; Hareway to the Stars and Duck Dodgers (both featured in the Bugs Bunny Road Runner Movie). A recent highlight is his ode to the laser beam (featured in the Looney Tunes show). Love it!
Thank you again😁
Thanks, it's much appreciated. And you're right, there is a lot of work in them. Sometime 2-3 solid weeks work.
Glad you enjoy them.
Thanks for watching.
Dave Lee Down Under just wondering will there ever be anymore of your “explaining Disney” series?
Apologies if I missed it, but there's another significant appearance of Marvin, in 1977's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
Roy is frantically building a pile of assorted crap, hoping to form it into the image haunting his subconscious. On the TV, we hear "H-h-happy birthday, you thing from another world, you!" Porky hands Marvin a cake with lighted candles. No need for spoilers, you know what happens next.
Nice video! I like all the cultural and historical background. It adds a lot to the story of why the character resonated with people and became popular. I appreciate the work that went into this.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words! Glad you enjoyed 😊
Brilliant as always. Marvin's a fantastic character.
On a side-note, if anyone has a recorded U.K. broadcast of Space Jam from the 90s (like I did on VHS, which was recorded over with Neighbours! Thanks, Mum), please let me know. It had some commercials that I cannot find anywhere online and I'd love to see them archived. I know at least one of them was a Weet-A-Bix commercial and there was also a Sega one.
Thanks in advance.
Jesus... Baby Marvin is the cutest thing ever
Same here, 90's teen who had Marvin clothing and loved him in his roll in DUCK DODGERS. He is my second favorite BB villain, First place going to Taz.
Finally my favorite Looney Tunes character
Who doesn't love Marvin?
Dave Lee Down Under I hope Duck Dodgers get a reboot with the same animation
@@DaveLeeDownUnder He's my favorite!
@M Lan He just wants a good view of venus.
I watched the Looney Tunes cartoons. When I was a kid. And now I have grandkids. And my oldest grandson who is 8. Said to me thanks granddad. For introducing me to Bugs Bunny. And Batman. And you look at their birthdays too. They are not far apart.
My parents, Cartoon Network, and Six Flags introduced me to Bugs Bunny and Batman.
Baby Marvin is A. DOR. A. BLE!!!
Great Video! There was also a reference to Marvin in Young Justice, where Miss Martian pranks a fellow student by morphing into a scary version of Marvin.
I love how they used the Pluto's resemblance with K-9 in some "Mickey Mouse" spoofs during the Duck Dodgers series hahahaha
I've read Leonard Maltin's history of animated cartoons, both volumes of Chuck Amuck, but had never before heard the name "Antwerp" which is pretty hilarious!
Amazing to think that a lot was taken into consideration for Marvin's creation and how it relates to the Space craze of the 50s-60s. Hell, Star Wars exists because of this Martian. Not to mention that he's even on a Mars Rover.
Simply amazing
One of my all time favourite Warner Bros characters. Great work Dave 👍
Thank you
This a prefect birthday present.
Marvin is funny and interesting.
Lol.
Dave Lee welldone.
😀👍🏻👏🏻
Happy birthday Aris. Is it today?
It on 10 of April but you gived it early thanks.
Thank you.
😀👍🏻
Very much.
@M Lan 😊
So that explains why I kept seeing shirts with Marvin dribbling a basketball in the early 2000's.
Did you seriously not notice when spacejam came out
My absolute favorite character!
Love him.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder And I enjoy your vids!
@@DaveLeeDownUnder Baby Marvin is my favorite baby! I even have a stuffie of him and K9 as a puppy!
Wow perfect timing last night I wanted to find a lot of information about Marvin the Martian, luckily woke up to this
You have made me very happy!
VERY happy, indeed!
I aim to please. Happy you enjoyed.
For the last half decade, I've heard about the possibility of people settling in Mars. Even plans for it to happen. I had no idea that this was a thing since the late 1800's. Very intriguing.
Amazing video Dave, your videos always keep an smile on my face during these hard times. Keep up the hard work.
Thank you Mason. Glad you enjoy them and that they help in some small way help to lighten your day at this time.
Thanks for watching.
I think you forgot one thing, Marvin made a very short cameo in a Halloween episode of Young Justice when Miss Martian transform into a Marvin shaped thing to scare some people as a prank.
I remember that episode!! Although I always had a crush on Jaime.
Outstanding retrospective of one of my favourite cartoon characters! Thank you!
“Evolution of Marvin the Martian”
Video: *Spends 6 minutes on literally every other existing character*
Friz Freleng thought Elmer Fudd wasn't aggressive enough. He also thought Fudd was too dumb. So, he gave us Yosemite Sam!
Are you planning to cover him at some point?
My absolute favorite loony toon! Long live Marvin!
'Duck Dodgers' and 'Hareway to the Stars' are my two favourites. I especially love the no-mouth black Martian face, prim English-tutor tone of voice, and hyper tennis-shod-foot movements.
These Evolution of Videos you do are absolutely amazing man, love all the History that I learn throughout watching them, Thanks for the great work, and content!
Thanks so much for the kind words, Jeff - I appreciate it! And thanks for watching!
Yes!! I need more of him!! He’s such a child!!
It must be really hard to find pictures for the evolutions also very nice video :)
It can be very difficult. Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching
(17:04-17:05): Can be a review (and a ranking) of Chuck Jones' television specials that he made for CBS in the mid-1970s?
He also helped work on Toon Makers Sailor Moon.
Marvin might have been the inspiration for Darth Vader's design?!?
That's amazing xD
My favorite joke is when bugs is trying to trick him on earth. You see him whispering something to Marvin. And then Marvin immediately turns on K9. Perfectly timed.
Amazing documentary!
I had no idea what I was getting into I just clicked because I love Marvin and now you've got a new sub!
Amazing, amazing!
Interesting. My favorite appearance was in Hasty Hare. Great work once again Dave.
My favourite appearance will always be Marvin The Martian In The 3rd Dimension as it was the first 3D/4D film I ever saw. Loved Space Jam as a kid but was only four at the time so I don't recall his rise to popularity properly. Did a pointillism drawing of him in early high school but mostly because I saw a picture of him in class.
Very interesting, mate! I love it!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed.
I like how in most of the cartoon evolutions of Looney Tunes characters in the thumbnails they include a hidden but easy to find Big Chungus.
Yes I want to see Marvin more!
Fun fact: In 2011, Marvin was planned to have his own live action movie, but it was scrapped
Marvin had been one of my absolute favourite characters. I really really hope I see him the recent Looney tunes cartoon ❤
Feel bad for the kid who thought he was gonna star in a Marvin Martian movie. :'(
When’s roadrunner and Wile E?
Coming at some point.
Dave Lee Down Under what about Elmer Fudd 😩
I am reallly waiting for that.
YEEEEEAAAAAAAH! Road Runner’s my #1 favorite Looney Tunes character! WOOOOOO!
🤘HE ROCKS!🤘
JUNE 6TH EVERYBODY!!!!! WOOOOOO
Needed this to get Corona Virus out of my head
Is Marvin the Martian a clone of GI Joe's Cobra Commander?
Cobra Commander is just like Darth Vader.
Who else was hardly ever Marvin the Martian's enemy? If you said it was Cecil the tortoise; guess what, you're right!
Didn't Miss Martian transform into him during an episode of Young Justice? XD
Yes. My favourite YJ episode was the "True Colors" episode in which Atom and Bumblebee go into the body of Blue Beetle.
Looney tunes back in action is super underrated and I definitely prefer it over space jam 💙
In "Elmer's Canid Camera", Elmer just wanted to take photos of wildlife, but Happy Rabbit kept bothering him and driving him crazy. When I first watched the short, I was kind of routing for Elmer. And at the end when Happy saves Elmer from drowning, he just kicks him back into the water! Now is that cruel or what?!
Nothing like enjoying a fantastic video on my favorite Martian!( and great rival to Duck Dodgers!) Its as exciting as blowing up a planet with my Illudium Pew 36 Explosive Space Modulator!
The first Christopher reeve superman movie(1978) was also a key factor in revolutionising sci-fi movies of the era
Marvin was one of my favorite cartoon characters!
