i dont know much about this new ultimate universe but seems its completely new and ...ultimatum never happened which probably was the wost event marvel ever had
I love it, especially because it isn't even Victor Von Doom. It's this universe's ORIGINAL Reed Richards from before the Maker ruined everything. It's such a cool concept
Tony never contacted Ultimate Black Panther or Hisako in Ultimate x-men. In fact, Wakanda is the only place on Earth 6160 that was seemingly not impacted by the Maker's council.
Except Konshu and Ra are on the council and attacking Wakanda. Hard to tell if that has anything to do with the council or just vibranium or whatever they found in the last issue though.
@@dubcwherever They're attacking Wakanda but that seemed to have began after the Maker was locked in the dome. Either way I don't believe T'Challa was contacted by Tony. Unless we get to see it in a flashback or something
@@NotAGrabbaghoulAre you referring to Johnny Storm? Sony, but the Fantastic Four are presumed dead before they even existed (except for Reed Richard, of course). And the other Human Torch is Jim Hammond, the original Human Torch. If the Fantastic Four ends up existing in this universe, they will most likely be radically different in this universe...like just about everything else.
@@chaosagent2308Plus even the name Iron Lad is foreshadowing, as the 616 Iron Lad was a version of Nathaniel Richards who didn’t want to grow up to be Kang.
I don't normally give much thought to Hank Pym in 616 outside of how that one accidental panel did him dirty (they COULD have fixed that, instead of leaning into it), but I DO love how they disassociate THIS Hank from that one in one simple, but subtle way... Seeing what our Hank was like and what happened with him, instead of being arrogant and thinking "Oh I can be better than that because I'm the ReallySmartGuy!" it terrified him because he didn't want to become THAT person. That alone sets up a good baseline for a much different Hank.
The most fascinating thing that I will say about this brand new Ultimate Universe is that they try to have it where young Tony Stark is trying to create Captain Marvel and Hawkeye on his first attempt but it ended up having disastrous results. However in his second attempt he was able to create giant Man and Wasp so I definitely like the direction that they're doing for this brand new Ultimate Universe and in some ways it kind of reminds me of how a younger version of Tony Stark was brought into the main Avengers timeline I think it was back in the 80s and that younger version of Tony had lived the life of his adult self before eventually his body caught up to him.
I just want to say thank you to Rob for introducing me to Sal and Benny. Sorry for the loss of Benny. Your guys 2014-15 podcasts were so fun to listen to.
With the exception of our current one, I don't think there's been a century where England and France were not at war with each other. It is as they say, a complicated relationship.
And they were bitter rivals since the middle ages before that even. They've spent more time in the past 1000 years as rivals than allies and now it's just old habits.
True but that's not why we hate the French, most British people don't even know our own history very well, (I personally don't hate them to be clear), it the perception that all french people are intellectual fashionistas swanning around their apartments, naked from the waist down, sipping wine, composition poetry, having sex with our girlfriends while we go to work in the rain
I really hope you reading this man my condolences on Ben passing. He was in many viewers hearts I watched him and you through tough times and it help me live all my favorite hero’s and even comics I never knew existed. It really pains me and just wish you the best man.
Just want to say how much you’re appreciated just like Ben was. You guys make reading comics fun again and it’s sad seeing someone from the community gone so soon😔
I think my one hiccup with hank is his line 'im a failure at best and a menace at worst' which i feel ignores what hank was actually Like at his best. Just off the top of my head i think of Avengers Academy, where he succeeded, not attempted, succeeded in making a place for young people who had been experimented on or had unstable powers could not only get support but genuine love and support akin to a parent. Hank took these kids everyone else said were at high risk of becoming villains and treated them not as ticking time bombs but as kids who need help, which is what they were. He does this by drawing on his own past with mental illness, identity crisis's and inferiority and even his past with suicidal thoughts. He empathized with them, and by the end of it he ends up making those kids feel safe and loved in his care, the only reason his school shut down was because of the main avengers team shutting it down. While writers would later regress hanks progress i do wish his actual high points were remembered for the good they were and not paint him as this chronic 'failure at best'
Rob, I just want to say you have helped me get through college for the last two to three years. You’re an amazing person and don’t know how much you mean to us 😭.
Not going to even lie, I’m looking towards you to hold this down for Comicstorian R.I.P to a great I really appreciate what he’s done and what you do for the comic culture. You’re appreciated sir all love LLC 😢
When I first heard about the "Ultimate Invasion" event, I thought they were going to literally have characters from the original Ultimate Universe invade Earth 616, due to the bunch of illustrations showing characters from that universe. But after following the entire Ultimate Invasion saga, I was excited to know more about this new alternate MARVEL universe.
I’m sorry for your loss, Rob. I speak for those of us who are visually impaired when I say CARRY ON YOUR WORK AND HIS LEGACY. Y’all mean the world to people like me.
Hi Rob!!! Long time fan. I believe it's my first time commenting. Love your breakdowns, specially the Hickman ones. I did wanna point out that your playlist is out of order. I Was a bit confused, it took half thee list to figure it out Lol.
I got really into comics about 10 years ago. About 5 or 6 years ago I kind of got out of it and I forgot why. When the new ultimate stuff came out I figured it would be a good time to get back into it. I remember why I got out of comics. It's painful how short each story is and how long it takes between issues. I just want more!
Nope. There have been multiple times the original Ultimate Universe has appeared or directly referenced, but for some reason Marvel keeps ignoring that.
I gotta say, your narrations and explanations alone are the main reason Marvel is in my consciousness right now. 🤣🤣 I'm more hype to read comics again, to bleach my senses of live-action stuff for a bit.
We have Comic Pop and a few others, but yeah its just not the same without the narrations. That was the one thing that set Benny apart from the others unfortunately.
@@Creed4222facts, used to love listening to him narrate comics stories for hours, this breaks my heart to the core. When I heard Rob give his tribute this morning, I cried.
One of my favourite things is that Peter Parker wholeheartedly accepted his role/destiny as Spider-Man and I love it. Shows how great a hero he is in (almost) every universe
@@thesilentsociety3252The Maker prevented the creation of the Fantastic Four and presumably killed the other 3 and locked up Reed for an unknown reason

One thought and two questions come to mind. The thought is I hope the MCU is wholly influencing this comic run because the idea of the aftermath of the secret war giving us ultimates is amazing. Show us a fully formed team with characters we know nothing about then give us individual stories. Basically what they did with The Avengers in reverse. My questions are: Will the ultimates(comic) give us Adam Basher in some capacity and if so are we getting a new origin story for Blue Marvel? That said however it goes, I'm here for it! Hers hoping he is portrayed as slightly older and bares a striking resemblance to Denzel Washington
Great vid as usual! Really enjoying the new Ultimate universe content. FYI We don't hate the French, asking people in London isn't a good representation of the opinions of the UK.
You're wrong about the time frame. It's all happening in real time. Tony and the others escaped Ultimate Invasion (Dec 2003) to now (Jun 2024) six months later. They went back six months to Ultimate Spider-Man 1 (Jan 2024) and gave him the spider. In Ultimate Invasion it was said that The Maker was trapped for 2 years (Dec 2025), which is 18 months from now. So we've got 18 real months so see how they plan for that.
Is the new ultimate avengers turning into All mighty avengers animated series? By how the characters work, Their character development, except the hulk of course. I would say so. How do you feel about it Rob?
I'd read this just because Doom. Apocalypse, Dr. Doom, and Magneto are three of my favorite villains. I like when they dabble with joining the good guys
Can someone help me here, what should I have watched before this I fully want to understand all the ultimate stuff? Can anyone put me onto what playlists I should watch? Some of Rob’s aren’t updated all the way I feel like.
just read comics/watch video starting with Ultimate Invasion which has 4 issues. Then move onto Ultimate Universe with just one issue. Then read “Free Comic Book Day 2024: Spider-Man & The Ultimate Universe” issue 1 then you can read Ultimate Spider-Man, Ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate X-Men and of course, Ultimates issue 1 (2024)
Ultimate invasion - ultimate universe and you can read anywhere from Ultimate spider-man, ultimate Black Panther, Ultimate X-Men and Ultimates (2024, choice is yours here
Rest in peace to Comicstorian. 😞You will be missed Benny.

I imagine Ra will die in the first story arc, and the council will take notice, feel threatened, and make a hasty decision.
Id rather him join later or not at all, it’d be even more interesting if Storm and him become half of the Ultimate Fantastic Four or something crazy
@@NotAGrabbaghoulAre you referring to Johnny Storm?

I didnt notice this before, but I like how Iron Lad's helmet has the same lines that Kang's helmet has

Nope. There have been multiple times the original Ultimate Universe has appeared or directly referenced, but for some reason Marvel keeps ignoring that.
No new universe new characters. It gives the writers more space and its better for people who don't want to read 700 issues of back story.
