So someone stealing his powers is all it takes
@Timothy Shanahan because plot armor. If they decide hulk is infinite source of gamma and rage then he is. Hulk in MCU is nerfed and they try to balance heroes out which is a joke because Marvel from the very beginning was about all kinds of scales of heroes. Personally I hate the cosmic scale and beyond. Street to global is best scale. Where sometimes global heroes like avengers have to fight off threat from another dimension or cosmic threat like galactus, thanos. This is wht spider man and daredevil are so popular because it is just more fun. Iron-Man was imo best balance, one day fights aliens, the next day some human hunts him for revenge. Iron-Man having to fight magical enemies is so good because he has barely any counter to that and some low magical criminals can be tough nuts. Kind of sucks how Mandarin was fake. I would love Iron-Man vs Dr doom too but yeah RDJ is out and doom is served for fantastic four and avengers. Iron-Man deserved a trilogy with Mandarin haunting him but sadly it was all set up for Thanos from the beginning and this is also why MCU sucks after Thanos. They had 0 set up for the next phase other than some easter eggs in Infinity War and Endgame
Darwin's power was like "Nah, we don't need to be in a film with the writing like this," and he bamf'd him to another universe. You can't convince me otherwise.
There’s something absolutely hilarious to me about his power being like “the only way to survive being punched by the hulk is to not be punched by the hulk”
It's honestly such a brilliant and very comic book way of showing just how powerful Hulk is at that point, where literally the only possible adaptation that could exist in the universe to counteract a Hulk attack is to be on the other side of the planet to where he's punching.
The guy who can adapt to anything dying is definitely dumb, but they also fell into the trope of killing the black guy first, something I thought we had moved past by the 90’s. (Don’t quote me on that. It might have been earlier or later.)
What you're saying doesn't work... Either we're past it and black characters can now die first just as any other guy, OR we still have to be careful about it and are therefore not past the problem
Completely agree. He only got killed in such a dumb way because the writers weren’t good enough to deal with his real powers so they just got rid of him in a stupid way. He should have been the second or third protagonist at least. But they just wanted the people who would see the trailers and think “oh I like Darwin. How will they handle his crazy power?” To buy tickets.
I will have to say his fight with Hulk and him evolving to not being in that one spot was the pinnacle feat of any mutant. That and when he and Synch teamed up.
@@happyslapsgiving5421 There is too many pinnacles of shitty writing in Marvels. 90s, when they were throwing so crap at the wall to see what stuck. Then it evolved into forcing crap onto us.
I love how in wwh the man whose powers can let him survive anything decides the only way to survive is to just not be there. Simultaneously placing a hard cap on Darwin's durability and illustrating the sheer power of world breaker hulk. Masterfully done.
not really, he turned into death. Pretty sure death could kill the Hulk, I think it illustrates that his powers are not in his control and may not do the best thing. Just the easiest thing for him to survive
If I recall correctly, because darwin doesnt have control of his powers it generally takes the easiest way out based on his needs. At first he needed to stop hulk so he evolved to absorb gamma. He then needed to survive another hit from hulk. the easiest way to survive another hit from hulk is to just not be there anymore.
World shit hulk is nothing but plot armour stacked on plot armour stacked on plot armour Consistently Thor has pretty handedly dealt with hulk even bodying him without effort sometimes Yet cause he's a little extra angry he's suddenly able to beat Thor who can destroy concepts nevermind how hulk should have no way to deal with Thor if Thor simply chose to fly and throw mjolnir at him repeatedly Or how doctor strange just let's hulk near him Hulk is one of the worst written characters ever He only ever does anything through plot armour
No, he didn't. He's a shitty character. Read the comics if you don't believe me. The guy couldn't even manage to become a decent character in the hands of Peter David.
I had to rewatch the film because I couldn’t process how Shaw killed Darwin. There were so many different ways that scene could have gone and they picked the one with the least sense.
I just hope Darwins body is regenerating somewhere that his ability teleported him to knowing it would be a safe space to do so... but its been so long... poor Darwin. Nerfed into oblivion...
i really hope, he just teleported to another planet or something and they bring him back, it wouldn't be that bad of a retcon since we really don't officially know if he's alive or not
@@IsaiahSenku he can die his body just adapted but I think the way he die in the movie is pretty stupid or debatable since in comic his body can turn to pure energy.. so I guess in the movie when the guy put the energy thing in his mouth so his body will be disintegrated he could just evolve into pure energy .. I think character like the beyonder, molucaler man or other omnipotence character could kill him.
I always thought that Darwin being killed off was ridiculous I would not say I'm an expert but everything I've read about him seems to indicate that he is functionally immortal
Wow there would be so many interesting things to do with him in the MCU, even just showcasing his ability. I like the idea of turning into pure energy so I could wipe the taste out of my mouth of what they did to him in First Class.
Totally a MCU insider here. His body decided that the only way to survive was to exit the universe altogether. He will now appear in the MCU at a post credit scene for sure.
I love this character too but unfortunatly he would be the rapresentation of how broken some characters are in the comics. In a film I am afraid someone like him could simply create an escalation of stronger and stronger characters, making secondary characters pretty much useless... maybe, that's just my idea
They tried to use him as the way to show how powerful shaw was that he can even take out darwin... but honestly who (except fans) knew who darwin was to know that was a shock and awe moment.
Angel Salvador gets to live through the movie... but not the mutant whose power is literally "creative/adaptive not dying", no he fucking dies. The freaking fly woman lives! What has never made sense to me is that Darwin's powers turned him to stone/scaled him up to survive Havok's blast when Shaw was the target; but it can't somehow vent the energy or erase his mouth before Shaw can stuff the energy inside?! There were tons of options from the second Shaw blocked his punch. That is some bullshit right there! What pisses me off even more is that a large number of the mutants who survived First Class are killed off screen in the next freaking movie! Adaptive Evolution/Reactive Evolution is one of the most underused powers I can think of; the potential is so rarely capitalized on! Darwin, Lifeguard, Doomsday; they get reduced down to the absolute minimum of what they're possibly capable of.
@Instagram & Twerk Show And Darwin's power is literally adapting to any environment or stimuli that could theoretically kill or impede him. I'm not saying Shaw couldn't DEFEAT Darwin, I'm saying that Shaw KILLING Darwin makes no sense in terms of power in general. Especially since the power Shaw is using to kill him is one he shrugged off moments before! The scene and death were horribly written. The only way it makes sense is if his whole vanishing act was his body becoming energy or something, but the movie never tries to explain anything other than: "Well, he dead!" Also; this version of Sebastian Shaw absorbs, stockpiles, and releases energy, he doesn't reflect it like a mirror would to a beam from a flashlight.
Hmm last thing I saw was a light energy coming out of Darwins body and then physial exhausted body crumbling. Remember, there is a soul inside. And i can recall Darwin has gone bodyless before. And then over time regrow a physical body. Shaw had to think that Darwin was dead to keep him safe. Dont you think?
I swear, I can't remember if First Class ever explained Darwin's powers. It's just occurred to me that I had no idea what his powers actually were until I watched this. Also, fun fact: GRRM probably named Aegon II's dragon Sunfyre after the X-Man.
he literally just says "I adapt to survive" every time someone asks him what his deal is. makes you wonder why Kevin Bacon even knew how to kill him in the first place.
I remember watching First Class being like "Wait, the ONLY one of the heroes you intend to kill is the guy whose power is literally the ability to adapt to any situation so as not to be killed?" WTF?!
Like it wasn't even a cool death ... They didn't really even set him up to be a fall guy for a scarier person either ... He just sort of died to something he could have pretty easily survived
5:01 except that exact thing has worked on the Hulk before when the Hulk attacked the Silver Surfer who treated the Hulk like a gnat and didn’t even really bother to fight him. The Surfer drained Hulk of the gamma radiation and Hulk became Banner. Hulk was just as limitless then.
Er no this is the green scar i.e the world breaker... that is a whole new level of power compared to the savage hulk and the silver surfer is on an entire different straosphere of power compares to Darwin. The surfer can drain a fricking star using the power cosmic. Its just a cluster f*ck of false equivalences
@@guyverjay1289 I mean your point doesn’t really hold as Darwin is omega level, correct me if I’m wrong. Sometimes they make it seem like his power has no limit, like with hela it literally turned him into a god. And omega level mutants can definitely f*** with silver surfer power levels. It’s a weird one tbh.
Why would they put him in a movie if they were just going to kill him immediatly without even having one good scene where he uses its powers?? I do understand that they wanted to make the villan more threatening by making him kill the guy that can survive anything but... WE DIDNT EVEN GET TO SEE HIM SURVIVE ANYTHIG AGGHHH
First time watching a video from this channel and I have to say great job. Unlike some other comic-related channels, you had some great character to the narration and didn't just repeat yourself over and over. Nicely polished work.
Darwin does deserve more respect, but I will always love his moment in World War Hulk. The man that has the power to adapt to overcome any threats to his life, when faced against this monster of focused rage and enormous power... Gains the ability to teleport very far away.
You know, with all this multiverse stuff happening and the X-Men universe being folded into the MCU, it would be amazing if Darwin somehow came back, played by the same actor and redeemed the character in Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars. Probably won't happen, but very well could.
So this will probably never happen but imagine he was able to come back by literally being a clone of Kang with the powers and all. That would be pretty cool to just suddenly go "Oh shit they have a kang alike on their side now with his knowledge and everything."
Darwin deserved so much better I was actually surprised when they killed him but it also ruined the movie for me cause I couldn't get past the "He'd totally survive that" thoughts and how many ways his body could adapt to survive it
@@derekpayneszubliminals7723 Everything except First Class. Days is a prequel to First class. But he could've just noped out of there and went back to being a cab.
Yup. And a very recent X-men mission consisted of him, Synch(who can mimic other mutant powers), and Wolverine(Laura) (healing), taking on some kind of super advanced Sentinel tech installation.
Hello! I'm one of the few who had read the script and revised it before First Class got released. I wanted to let you know that the reason why he got killed off is not because of skin color but rather it is because of his ability and the actor's personal reasons. Initially, he wasn't supposed to die as there were many revisions of the scripts and none of them had his character killed. It was a little bit later on that they had to make a last second decision to kill him off because of few reasons and one of which is that he is too overpowered compared to the other mutants - secondly, the actor was having health complications at that time and couldn't commit to the role fully hence why he had to resign the contract early on. This led to the writers and even the director to fully finalize the decision of removing him on screen (killing him off). Even though I was just a revisionist, I was invited to a few shooting and behind the scenes so I was a little bit updated as to what is happening. We weren't allowed to talk about what was going on but it's safe to talk about it now as the movie has already been out for a few years.
bro your channel is stupid underrated. amazing visuals, good mic, good script, good editing, keep up the good work man. i see no reason why your channel won’t continue to grow if you keep uploading comic book videos regularly.
(if you ever need it) Here's an idea for a new twist on this series: "6 Degrees Trope Deep Dive: The Adaptational Perfection Edition" (or something like that). Also, I just recently found your videos, and they're awesome!
As cool as his power is, we have to admit he's definitely a character better suited for pages of a comic than a movie screen. In a movie he literally becomes God and nothing would prove interesting to watch in the time frame of a movie because he would adapt to everything the villians could throw at him. It's like having an invincibility code in a video game. It's fun at first, but without any real threat of danger it gets boring fairly quickly.
I mean they can make it work. There's no limit to what his powers do but they don't always work in his favor. Imagine if they make him more of a puzzle piece that the rest has to figure out how to use it. Of course in the current state of MCU, I'm afraid they would turn him into a joke character than an actual member.
There are limits to his powers. When he fought the Hulk, instead he developed gamma siphoning poweres, when that didn't work his powers teleported off the battlefield. Because the best way to fight the Hulk, is to not fight the Hulk
Hi. I've spent a good deal of my life pursuing a medical career. However, I really, REALLY like comics! I subscribed. I was sorry to see Darwin get nerfed in the movie also. I followed his story in Uncanny X-Men, when Storm lost her powers, spotted a Mohawk and became leader of the Morlocks; good ole 80s!😅
im a movie watcher : ( and i absolutely LOVEd darwin so much even for the short time, loved the actor b4hand, and now this video makes me love him even more thus even more mad at how dirty the movies did him, his power was so cool, it makes so much more sense he would be more OP then they make him seem to be. RIP
Research what Charles Darwin said about blacks, it make this situation 100x more ironic considering they obviously modeled the character to Darwin's statement about blacks. It would be cool if he actually just "playing dead" and his molecular structure creates a devastating appearance to trick his opponent to think he's dead
damn that really blows, never knew that. Feel bad for the people that knew the character before the movie. I feel ripped off having thought the movie was ok at one point, but learning more about comic book characters on youtube has really opened my eyes to the cinematic tragedies.
I never noticed the detail of when shang chi is leading the mandarin with grapple parry, its identical to the same part when the mandarin fought Shang chis mother! Powerful cinematography!
Like, they just needed to leave it ambiguous, have him obliterate into goo or something, and show a little bit go down a drain and then bring him back for DOFP, like someone else said, he can be the basis for the Sentinels Hell, both of them could be, have Darwin and Mystique be behind it, idk. The fox movies were dumb, in all the series was fine, Logan and Deadpool are great, X1 and X2 were above average as films, First Class and DOFP were neat and the rest just, blah, I hope the MCU does a better job
id love to see him just pop into the mcu once mutants have been properly integrated as his powers saved him from that dying franchise to help him revitalise a struggling one
I understand why the got rid of him. In comics you can justifiably have world cracking heroes and baddies that make him just another guy in the long run, but in almost any other media his power would just be ridiculed as distilled essence of plot convenience.
he survives first, defeats enemies maybe. Just because you can tank any attack from the lord death robot Mk II destroying the city doesn’t mean you can stop it
The power to adapt is SOOO OP they had to even nerf the concept to fudge out a loophole to kill this man. Literally the way he died shouldn’t have even killed him. Lol 😂
FINALLY!!! Someone who also recognizes that First Class is incredibly overrated. P.S. If Darwin wanted to survive he should have evolved into a white actor. Then he would've at least made it thru more than 20 min of the movie.
Full agree. I find it weird that some X fans can support this film when I find it to be such an insult to the source material - Magneto being the main exception
Ok, first of all, Shaw usually only absorbs kinetic energy as it's the easiest to absorb, so he can absorb Havok's plasma energy, BUT he cannot redirect energy that he has absorbed, he uses said energy to enhance his strength, speed and durability. Even though it is stated in Marvel wiki that Shaw has a secondary mutation, where he can redirect energy that he absorbs, he can't do what was depicted in the movie, he usually fires off energy bolts from his hands, not little balls of energy. One time Storm and Nightcrawler almost kicked his ass by Storm lowering the ambient temperature all around him and Nightcrawler just juggled him with his feet, it almost worked, but Shaw was able to grab Nightcrawler's ankle, then he punched him in the stomach as hard as he could, and then he threw him at Storm, rendering them both unconscious.
Yeah I've always had an issues with MCU not sticking to the comics, and really capturing them, This is why I like THE BOYS so much because it really does capture a comic book well, great video.
Why some people think First Class is one of the best X-Men films is beyond me. You said it, some good sequences but the shit outweighs the good. From the first time I saw it, I was already not impressed for many reasons but when they killed Darwin I was like, "oh f*** this." Yea I actually hate First Class (don't get me started on Mystique)
Tbh it's one of the better X Men movies. One of the better marvel movies even. Also, what would be annoying about Mystique? She's barely in these first two.
Peter David’s tenure authoring X-Factor, of which Darwin was a part, is my favorite X-Team/Mutant comic run ever. I think it went over two hundred issues.
If they put any thought into it they could have come up with a much better solution, I mean I did. It's simple, power him down like they wanted, but have a scene at the end where he's survived but is in a heavily wounded state in a hospital bed. His body managed to adapt so he wouldn't die but couldn't negate the damage, so now he's slowly recovering in a hospital somewhere. There, done, he's not invincible, his power gets limited, but he doesn't get taken out like a chump, and the potential for him coming back in the future now exists.
Read the story of Darwin in X-Men Deadly Genesis available at Amazon: shorturl.at/gnBIO
His power worked as intended, he adapted to escape from the franchise before it went completely downhill, saving his character for better movies in the future.

Street to global is best scale. Where sometimes global heroes like avengers have to fight off threat from another dimension or cosmic threat like galactus, thanos. This is wht spider man and daredevil are so popular because it is just more fun. Iron-Man was imo best balance, one day fights aliens, the next day some human hunts him for revenge. Iron-Man having to fight magical enemies is so good because he has barely any counter to that and some low magical criminals can be tough nuts. Kind of sucks how Mandarin was fake. I would love Iron-Man vs Dr doom too but yeah RDJ is out and doom is served for fantastic four and avengers. Iron-Man deserved a trilogy with Mandarin haunting him but sadly it was all set up for Thanos from the beginning and this is also why MCU sucks after Thanos. They had 0 set up for the next phase other than some easter eggs in Infinity War and Endgame
@@dawidpotega882 the MCU is garbage I agree.. Hulk was nerfed to the ground.
Darwin's power was like "Nah, we don't need to be in a film with the writing like this," and he bamf'd him to another universe. You can't convince me otherwise.
There’s something absolutely hilarious to me about his power being like “the only way to survive being punched by the hulk is to not be punched by the hulk”
It's honestly such a brilliant and very comic book way of showing just how powerful Hulk is at that point, where literally the only possible adaptation that could exist in the universe to counteract a Hulk attack is to be on the other side of the planet to where he's punching.
The guy who can adapt to anything dying is definitely dumb, but they also fell into the trope of killing the black guy first, something I thought we had moved past by the 90’s. (Don’t quote me on that. It might have been earlier or later.)
Darwin loses to the trope lol
I mean duh
@@umbrasight1134 really?
By the 90’s?? 😂😂😂it was at its highest then.
What you're saying doesn't work... Either we're past it and black characters can now die first just as any other guy, OR we still have to be careful about it and are therefore not past the problem
Always loved the World War Hulk appearance where his powers literally went "fuck this" and didn't even try to block Hulk's full powered strike.😆🤣
Completely agree.
He only got killed in such a dumb way because the writers weren’t good enough to deal with his real powers so they just got rid of him in a stupid way. He should have been the second or third protagonist at least. But they just wanted the people who would see the trailers and think “oh I like Darwin. How will they handle his crazy power?” To buy tickets.
literally just teleport him somewhere and then come back. it's that easy, and he doesn't adapt because it's not a threat of harm.
Comic Darwin: I can't imagine dying to anything.
Movie Darwin: I died.
Comic Darwin: YOU WHAT?!
I will have to say his fight with Hulk and him evolving to not being in that one spot was the pinnacle feat of any mutant. That and when he and Synch teamed up.
The pinnacle of shitty writing in the history of Marvel comics, is what it was. 🤣
@@happyslapsgiving5421 There is too many pinnacles of shitty writing in Marvels. 90s, when they were throwing so crap at the wall to see what stuck. Then it evolved into forcing crap onto us.
I love how in wwh the man whose powers can let him survive anything decides the only way to survive is to just not be there. Simultaneously placing a hard cap on Darwin's durability and illustrating the sheer power of world breaker hulk. Masterfully done.
not really, he turned into death. Pretty sure death could kill the Hulk, I think it illustrates that his powers are not in his control and may not do the best thing. Just the easiest thing for him to survive
If I recall correctly, because darwin doesnt have control of his powers it generally takes the easiest way out based on his needs. At first he needed to stop hulk so he evolved to absorb gamma. He then needed to survive another hit from hulk. the easiest way to survive another hit from hulk is to just not be there anymore.
@@theghost8914 simply dodge
World shit hulk is nothing but plot armour stacked on plot armour stacked on plot armour
Consistently Thor has pretty handedly dealt with hulk even bodying him without effort sometimes
Yet cause he's a little extra angry he's suddenly able to beat Thor who can destroy concepts nevermind how hulk should have no way to deal with Thor if Thor simply chose to fly and throw mjolnir at him repeatedly
Or how doctor strange just let's hulk near him
Hulk is one of the worst written characters ever
He only ever does anything through plot armour
EXACTLY. Masterful my ass. That was some Doomsday knockoff shite and Doomsday was plot armor incarnate!@@some_shitposting_idiot3023
When I saw this movie I was hugely disappointed by Darwin’s death. He had so much potential
No, he didn't.
He's a shitty character.
Read the comics if you don't believe me.
The guy couldn't even manage to become a decent character in the hands of Peter David.
@happyslapsgiving5421 sorry you were butt hurt reading his comics, I did and thought it was interesting 😂
I had to rewatch the film because I couldn’t process how Shaw killed Darwin. There were so many different ways that scene could have gone and they picked the one with the least sense.
I just hope Darwins body is regenerating somewhere that his ability teleported him to knowing it would be a safe space to do so... but its been so long... poor Darwin. Nerfed into oblivion...
Death by spicy marble.
@@deathsaidhello he got teleported out into the void of space and is regenerating owo ... Or he's in another universe plotting revenge xD
i really hope, he just teleported to another planet or something and they bring him back, it wouldn't be that bad of a retcon since we really don't officially know if he's alive or not
I got a feeling the MCU will likely address and bring him back. Because buddy…this was some ‘cism at its highest degree. 😂
@TwerkAmbition he literally can't die, that's the point of his mutant ability
@brotherwalton5666 I saw a comment it was because there was conflict and the actor didn't want be part of the movie anymore
“will likely address and bring him back”
Understand this as back from his death.
@@IsaiahSenku he can die his body just adapted but I think the way he die in the movie is pretty stupid or debatable since in comic his body can turn to pure energy.. so I guess in the movie when the guy put the energy thing in his mouth so his body will be disintegrated he could just evolve into pure energy .. I think character like the beyonder, molucaler man or other omnipotence character could kill him.
“Sleep is the cousin of death” I laughed too hard at that
I always thought that Darwin being killed off was ridiculous I would not say I'm an expert but everything I've read about him seems to indicate that he is functionally immortal
Wow there would be so many interesting things to do with him in the MCU, even just showcasing his ability. I like the idea of turning into pure energy so I could wipe the taste out of my mouth of what they did to him in First Class.
Totally a MCU insider here. His body decided that the only way to survive was to exit the universe altogether. He will now appear in the MCU at a post credit scene for sure.
He'd be a cool cameo in Secret Wars.
I love this character too but unfortunatly he would be the rapresentation of how broken some characters are in the comics. In a film I am afraid someone like him could simply create an escalation of stronger and stronger characters, making secondary characters pretty much useless... maybe, that's just my idea
Owo it will probably tie in somehow to the whole multiverse thing xD
They tried to use him as the way to show how powerful shaw was that he can even take out darwin... but honestly who (except fans) knew who darwin was to know that was a shock and awe moment.
Angel Salvador gets to live through the movie... but not the mutant whose power is literally "creative/adaptive not dying", no he fucking dies. The freaking fly woman lives! What has never made sense to me is that Darwin's powers turned him to stone/scaled him up to survive Havok's blast when Shaw was the target; but it can't somehow vent the energy or erase his mouth before Shaw can stuff the energy inside?! There were tons of options from the second Shaw blocked his punch. That is some bullshit right there! What pisses me off even more is that a large number of the mutants who survived First Class are killed off screen in the next freaking movie!
Adaptive Evolution/Reactive Evolution is one of the most underused powers I can think of; the potential is so rarely capitalized on! Darwin, Lifeguard, Doomsday; they get reduced down to the absolute minimum of what they're possibly capable of.
@Instagram & Twerk Show And Darwin's power is literally adapting to any environment or stimuli that could theoretically kill or impede him. I'm not saying Shaw couldn't DEFEAT Darwin, I'm saying that Shaw KILLING Darwin makes no sense in terms of power in general. Especially since the power Shaw is using to kill him is one he shrugged off moments before! The scene and death were horribly written. The only way it makes sense is if his whole vanishing act was his body becoming energy or something, but the movie never tries to explain anything other than: "Well, he dead!"
Also; this version of Sebastian Shaw absorbs, stockpiles, and releases energy, he doesn't reflect it like a mirror would to a beam from a flashlight.
@@DragonmanX90 True, although in-universe they probably made his adaptation only work outside of the body (Which is a dumb concept in itself)
Hmm last thing I saw was a light energy coming out of Darwins body and then physial exhausted body crumbling. Remember, there is a soul inside. And i can recall Darwin has gone bodyless before. And then over time regrow a physical body. Shaw had to think that Darwin was dead to keep him safe. Dont you think?
@Instagram & Twerk Show he couldn't reflect a quarter thru the face
@@devindean4230 Because he couldn't move?
I swear, I can't remember if First Class ever explained Darwin's powers. It's just occurred to me that I had no idea what his powers actually were until I watched this. Also, fun fact: GRRM probably named Aegon II's dragon Sunfyre after the X-Man.
he literally just says "I adapt to survive" every time someone asks him what his deal is. makes you wonder why Kevin Bacon even knew how to kill him in the first place.
@@benjittees Emma Frost scanned everyone's minds, maybe? Idk, I don't have the patience to defend that movie
@@benjittees didnt he stick his head ina fish tank to show it off
He sticks his head into a tank of water when asked about his powers.
Honestly, all I knew was that he could funny fish gills and that was it. I didn’t even knew he was basically the embodiment of “adapt”
I remember watching First Class being like "Wait, the ONLY one of the heroes you intend to kill is the guy whose power is literally the ability to adapt to any situation so as not to be killed?" WTF?!
Like it wasn't even a cool death ... They didn't really even set him up to be a fall guy for a scarier person either ... He just sort of died to something he could have pretty easily survived
The casual “sleep is the cousin of death” line insert, SIR.
Well done.
5:01 except that exact thing has worked on the Hulk before when the Hulk attacked the Silver Surfer who treated the Hulk like a gnat and didn’t even really bother to fight him. The Surfer drained Hulk of the gamma radiation and Hulk became Banner.
Hulk was just as limitless then.
Hah I'm starting to think I need to respect the Silver Surfer more...
@@its6degrees 😂 You should I think he’s fairly cool, would you ever plan on making a video about galactus’s heralds?
@@TrueKilla Yeah potentially - would need to do some reading up on em though
Er no this is the green scar i.e the world breaker... that is a whole new level of power compared to the savage hulk and the silver surfer is on an entire different straosphere of power compares to Darwin. The surfer can drain a fricking star using the power cosmic. Its just a cluster f*ck of false equivalences
@@guyverjay1289 I mean your point doesn’t really hold as Darwin is omega level, correct me if I’m wrong. Sometimes they make it seem like his power has no limit, like with hela it literally turned him into a god. And omega level mutants can definitely f*** with silver surfer power levels. It’s a weird one tbh.
Why would they put him in a movie if they were just going to kill him immediatly without even having one good scene where he uses its powers??
I do understand that they wanted to make the villan more threatening by making him kill the guy that can survive anything but... WE DIDNT EVEN GET TO SEE HIM SURVIVE ANYTHIG AGGHHH
Same shit with Morph back in the day, he was one of the most powerful mutants and they disappeared him in the first episode of the 90's cartoon.
Darwin, Synch and X-23 were fire together. You gotta do a vid on Synch man, he’s so op, but ridiculously underrated
First time watching a video from this channel and I have to say great job. Unlike some other comic-related channels, you had some great character to the narration and didn't just repeat yourself over and over. Nicely polished work.
Darwin does deserve more respect, but I will always love his moment in World War Hulk.
The man that has the power to adapt to overcome any threats to his life, when faced against this monster of focused rage and enormous power... Gains the ability to teleport very far away.
I love how his defense against hulk was "nah, I'm out".
When the Sucky Sucky dont work you gots to Dippy Dippy
"Adios"
You know, with all this multiverse stuff happening and the X-Men universe being folded into the MCU, it would be amazing if Darwin somehow came back, played by the same actor and redeemed the character in Kang Dynasty or Secret Wars. Probably won't happen, but very well could.
So this will probably never happen but imagine he was able to come back by literally being a clone of Kang with the powers and all. That would be pretty cool to just suddenly go "Oh shit they have a kang alike on their side now with his knowledge and everything."
Darwin deserved so much better I was actually surprised when they killed him but it also ruined the movie for me cause I couldn't get past the "He'd totally survive that" thoughts and how many ways his body could adapt to survive it
I was expecting him to be at the end of the movie in a post credit scene saying "i took long than I expected to adapt to that"
Maybe since Days of Future Past retconned everything that came before DOFP, perhaps they could have brought back Darwin.
@@derekpayneszubliminals7723 yeah fr
@@derekpayneszubliminals7723 Everything except First Class. Days is a prequel to First class. But he could've just noped out of there and went back to being a cab.
Yup. And a very recent X-men mission consisted of him, Synch(who can mimic other mutant powers), and Wolverine(Laura) (healing), taking on some kind of super advanced Sentinel tech installation.
This channel is amazing, props to all your hard work on these videos.
If Drawin was in the MCU his powers would probably just make him immune to The Snap
lmaoo the question is, does getting snapped count as dying? cuz i don't know if it does
He would just be in the 50% that didn't die
@@ndro_gyny nah he would get snapped and just reform a second later like nothing happened!
Maybe his power would make him temporarily die, so he would be overlooked as a living being. Like a temporary heart stop.
@Instagram & Tw3rk Show I know, but it be fun if he could negate been erased from existence.
Hello! I'm one of the few who had read the script and revised it before First Class got released. I wanted to let you know that the reason why he got killed off is not because of skin color but rather it is because of his ability and the actor's personal reasons. Initially, he wasn't supposed to die as there were many revisions of the scripts and none of them had his character killed. It was a little bit later on that they had to make a last second decision to kill him off because of few reasons and one of which is that he is too overpowered compared to the other mutants - secondly, the actor was having health complications at that time and couldn't commit to the role fully hence why he had to resign the contract early on. This led to the writers and even the director to fully finalize the decision of removing him on screen (killing him off). Even though I was just a revisionist, I was invited to a few shooting and behind the scenes so I was a little bit updated as to what is happening. We weren't allowed to talk about what was going on but it's safe to talk about it now as the movie has already been out for a few years.
Far easier to call fox racist and move on lol
bro your channel is stupid underrated. amazing visuals, good mic, good script, good editing, keep up the good work man. i see no reason why your channel won’t continue to grow if you keep uploading comic book videos regularly.
top 10 nerd is a great channel maybe take some inspiration from them or comicstorian/ comic books explained all great channels
Appreciate it mate! Will take a look!
They had to make room for their "star", mystique
Darwin is proof that FOX didn't understand Omega level mutations and Disney just pretends Omega Level doesn't exist.
This wasn't a Disney movie.
(if you ever need it) Here's an idea for a new twist on this series: "6 Degrees Trope Deep Dive: The Adaptational Perfection Edition" (or something like that).
Also, I just recently found your videos, and they're awesome!
4:47 That was straight gangster 😎👏🏽
Yeah, imagine quick silver on mcu got killed by a bullet.
Dumbest death in the MCU 😂
@@jamespope7669 Yup. I really didn't see that one coming
He wasn't even good tbh. Fox quicksilver is definitely the best iteration of the character. Even in the factual ways like speed and strength.
@Instagram & Tw3rk Show you must be brain 🧠💀
Darwins nope from hulks punch speaks to both of their bad guano insane power, and I loved every single bit of it :)
I love how his body was like "well the hulk is scary angry. Lets just not be here."
You had me at the "sleep is the cousin of death" quote. LOL
As cool as his power is, we have to admit he's definitely a character better suited for pages of a comic than a movie screen. In a movie he literally becomes God and nothing would prove interesting to watch in the time frame of a movie because he would adapt to everything the villians could throw at him. It's like having an invincibility code in a video game. It's fun at first, but without any real threat of danger it gets boring fairly quickly.
I mean they can make it work. There's no limit to what his powers do but they don't always work in his favor. Imagine if they make him more of a puzzle piece that the rest has to figure out how to use it.
Of course in the current state of MCU, I'm afraid they would turn him into a joke character than an actual member.
There are limits to his powers. When he fought the Hulk, instead he developed gamma siphoning poweres, when that didn't work his powers teleported off the battlefield. Because the best way to fight the Hulk, is to not fight the Hulk
@Mr_Athrilla ESQ true but what's the likelihood of a movie director thinking that would be a good idea?
Darwin gets the recognition from true fans like us.
"I'm not going to say what we used to call cigarettes in Englad"
This had me dying😂😂
You solved it. Bring him back a some kind of energy being an say his body need more time to adjust. In future X-MEN MOVIES. SAME ACTOR
His ability to adapt make him exist somewhere in a different universe where he's not heavily nerf.
Y'know, if they were worried about him being too powerful, they couldn't just not
Love the video also did not expect to see myself in it keep on being awesome mate!
Darwin: I can adapt to anything.
Fox execs: So about your contract...
Hi. I've spent a good deal of my life pursuing a medical career. However, I really, REALLY like comics! I subscribed. I was sorry to see Darwin get nerfed in the movie also. I followed his story in Uncanny X-Men, when Storm lost her powers, spotted a Mohawk and became leader of the Morlocks; good ole 80s!😅
He turned into pure energy. He didn't die. His power is dope.
he died bro lol
@@jellosirmello 😂 yeah I believe he did
The Nas reference came outta nowhere and was DOPE!
Darwin adapting to Hulk by literally noping out of the fight will never not be hysterically funny to me.
im a movie watcher : ( and i absolutely LOVEd darwin so much even for the short time, loved the actor b4hand, and now this video makes me love him even more thus even more mad at how dirty the movies did him, his power was so cool, it makes so much more sense he would be more OP then they make him seem to be. RIP
Research what Charles Darwin said about blacks, it make this situation 100x more ironic considering they obviously modeled the character to Darwin's statement about blacks.
It would be cool if he actually just "playing dead" and his molecular structure creates a devastating appearance to trick his opponent to think he's dead
damn that really blows, never knew that. Feel bad for the people that knew the character before the movie. I feel ripped off having thought the movie was ok at one point, but learning more about comic book characters on youtube has really opened my eyes to the cinematic tragedies.
His powers sound like the equivalent of a schoolyard game of oneupmanship. “I shoot you with a laser!” “My body is laser-proof!”
Terribly written character lol. His super power is literally the writers giving him a hand job
I never noticed the detail of when shang chi is leading the mandarin with grapple parry, its identical to the same part when the mandarin fought Shang chis mother! Powerful cinematography!
Like, they just needed to leave it ambiguous, have him obliterate into goo or something, and show a little bit go down a drain and then bring him back for DOFP, like someone else said, he can be the basis for the Sentinels
Hell, both of them could be, have Darwin and Mystique be behind it, idk. The fox movies were dumb, in all the series was fine, Logan and Deadpool are great, X1 and X2 were above average as films, First Class and DOFP were neat and the rest just, blah, I hope the MCU does a better job
What? Dude DOFP is way better than the entire MCU tbh.
4:45
No cap this man is a NaS fan, I'm subscribing no questions asked 😂
id love to see him just pop into the mcu once mutants have been properly integrated as his powers saved him from that dying franchise to help him revitalise a struggling one
I understand why the got rid of him. In comics you can justifiably have world cracking heroes and baddies that make him just another guy in the long run, but in almost any other media his power would just be ridiculed as distilled essence of plot convenience.
he survives first, defeats enemies maybe. Just because you can tank any attack from the lord death robot Mk II destroying the city doesn’t mean you can stop it
The power to adapt is SOOO OP they had to even nerf the concept to fudge out a loophole to kill this man.
Literally the way he died shouldn’t have even killed him. Lol 😂
We could have a show about Darwin that is about him getting in situations and adapting in cool ways to escape that would be a good show
Technically, he didn't die. He teleported away. We just never saw where.
FINALLY!!! Someone who also recognizes that First Class is incredibly overrated. P.S. If Darwin wanted to survive he should have evolved into a white actor. Then he would've at least made it thru more than 20 min of the movie.
Full agree. I find it weird that some X fans can support this film when I find it to be such an insult to the source material - Magneto being the main exception
4:46 _"I never sleep, cause sleep is the cousin of death"_

Fights Hulk
Darwin’s body: teleports somewhere else.
Shaw: “Adapt to this”
Darwin: [ _spits_ ]
Hulk: Punches
Darwin's Powers: _"Aight, i'm headin' out."_
Justice for Darwin. Deserves his own movie
Ok, first of all, Shaw usually only absorbs kinetic energy as it's the easiest to absorb, so he can absorb Havok's plasma energy, BUT he cannot redirect energy that he has absorbed, he uses said energy to enhance his strength, speed and durability. Even though it is stated in Marvel wiki that Shaw has a secondary mutation, where he can redirect energy that he absorbs, he can't do what was depicted in the movie, he usually fires off energy bolts from his hands, not little balls of energy. One time Storm and Nightcrawler almost kicked his ass by Storm lowering the ambient temperature all around him and Nightcrawler just juggled him with his feet, it almost worked, but Shaw was able to grab Nightcrawler's ankle, then he punched him in the stomach as hard as he could, and then he threw him at Storm, rendering them both unconscious.
1:23 took me a second to process that joke lol
I saw the sleep joke coming, or rather I guess subconsciously hoped it was, and I was not disappointed lol
I remember seeing this when movie came out and I couldn't believe Darwin died. For such a good movie, that was a really weird death
I’m telling you right now. This the first video I ever seen and I’m subscribing just cuz you put that Nas reference 👌🏾 respect
I love how Wolverine's one line is still the most memorable moment from that movie🤣🤣🤣
That Nas line earned you some major points lol
Darwin surviving some pretty Nuts stuff.
His powers when fighting the hulk: ye bud gonna have to sit this one out.
Yeah I've always had an issues with MCU not sticking to the comics, and really capturing them, This is why I like THE BOYS so much because it really does capture a comic book well, great video.
Actually no, comic book homelander saga with his clone is far different compared to the shows take on it.
I rant about this at least once a season 😅
Why some people think First Class is one of the best X-Men films is beyond me. You said it, some good sequences but the shit outweighs the good. From the first time I saw it, I was already not impressed for many reasons but when they killed Darwin I was like, "oh f*** this." Yea I actually hate First Class (don't get me started on Mystique)
Tbh it's one of the better X Men movies. One of the better marvel movies even. Also, what would be annoying about Mystique? She's barely in these first two.
Peter David’s tenure authoring X-Factor, of which Darwin was a part, is my favorite X-Team/Mutant comic run ever. I think it went over two hundred issues.
the fact that his body determined it was best to just gtfo against the hulk is scary
If they put any thought into it they could have come up with a much better solution, I mean I did.
It's simple, power him down like they wanted, but have a scene at the end where he's survived but is in a heavily wounded state in a hospital bed.
His body managed to adapt so he wouldn't die but couldn't negate the damage, so now he's slowly recovering in a hospital somewhere.
There, done, he's not invincible, his power gets limited, but he doesn't get taken out like a chump, and the potential for him coming back in the future now exists.
Darwin teleporting as the only way to survive against World War Hulk lmfao so op on both sides, ngl
Hey...you used one of my comments in a video...that earns this channel likes for days! Thanks mate.
Dude Darwin is one of my favourite marvel comic characters ever! I want to see him properly on the big screen! Hell a solo series would be sick.
They nerfed a lot of great characters like magneto and quicksilver and professor X as well
