Starting to think that the thing is just becoming the new spiderman at this point. Hell he even got the symbiote at one point
thankfully that was a "what if"
A little bit, I wouldn’t say it’s nearly as bad as Spider-Man. With Ben, it’s more like “Here’s a sort of what-if scenario.” With Spider-Man, it’s “here’s the absolute worst thing we can do to someone because we feel we have to at all points of the day”
Who hasn't had the symbiote?
@@rynemcgriffin1752In my opinion, I feel like some people over exaggerate on how bad Spider-Man’s life is. To me his life is pretty decent. Sure he loses his loved ones and has bad things happen to him which is still terrible. But It’s apart of being a Hero. If I were to choose who has the worst life, would probably be Wolverine. Because every year when it’s his Birthday SaberTooth comes and makes his life a living hell. The Thing. Because he feels alienated by people that he has once lived with. And that alienation causes him to disconnect from his teammates/friends. I know that in a majority stories Spider-Man has suffered, but can we at least not act like he’s the only hero that has suffered casualties or harm inflicted by someone. Especially in other stories like, Punisher vs The Marvel Universe, Marvel Zombies and more.
@@bleach9520 That’s what I was trying to say but I just got off work and was tired
“You could’ve just asked” Goddamn man that hit me way to hard
"You think I'm some freak who's into monsters?"
No lady, but anyone who wants to sleep with you clearly is such a freak. She is the real monster. No idea why there is no top comment stating this.
Don't be fooled by the crying. Someone with their brain developed this way wouldn't be capable of seeing their mistakes. She is going to inhibit it within seconds by lying to herself, that 'I'm bad, but my actions aren't bad, I had my reasons, so I'm not really bad'. What disordered psychos do.
No lie
@@lamajarmystrong91
You are a lie. Everything you do is a lie. Your woman is in fact a man, and she is mine.
Poor Ben
Being kind to people who hurt you holds a mirror up to them and they might not like what they see.
In context; "Scans ain't gonna pick up where I'm hurt" is one of the rawest lines in comics...
Fax I had to pause the vid on that one 🙂↔️
No
JUSTICE FOR BEN !
Fr that line hits so hard
Emotional damage can't be detected
"You think I'm some freak who's into monsters?"
Honestly, considering the post internet world? I don't doubt the Thing would have many online simps.
There’s billions of people out there
I imagine some people have an unknown fan club for him
Lets see
big, strong, kind, caring man with a silly sense of humour and huge protective instincts?
hell yes
It's slobbering time@somenerd8401
@@clown9791 Hell yeah it is
Girl started crying after Ben gave her a piece of him. You think she realized what she said and did?
Remember: If the writers give a sad character a lover, you should be absolutely terrified
Damn that's actually realistic 😭
Getting punched by World War Hulk would be far less painful than what Jennifer did. At least Hulk is honest and straightforward.
And that's why they're friends. Because deep down, they're the epitome of good, and honest. Albeit, for the hulk, he truly is a monster..
Hulk honestest there is!
Green Scar Hulk you mean.
The fact she cries after hearing him say "You could have just asked..." that shows at least in my view she realises she's a horrible person and knows she cannot undo the damage done.
Bet she still uses that skin sample to get rich, though. 😎
It looks like she tried to hurt him deliberately so he'd react angrily, letting her feel right for judging him based on his looks alone. Since he reacted to being hurt so deeply by literally giving her what she wanted even after being devastated like that, I think you're right. She was forced to acknowledge that he was truly a decent person inside and out, and that she had done everything in her power to show how cruel she could be to someone who truly cared about her.
After all, what kind of person does that to someone? A monster.
@@Azteceda a true "who's the monster now" moment
The true monster was the bitch that broke his heart, monsters exist even inside the heart
No wonder her company losing money. Probably she treated her employees the same and thats why her company failing to begin with.

thats not funny do you understand how messed up that is?

@@SanTheMann she earned it tbh
@@SanTheMannShe not real bro
God I hate seeing the Thing be treated this dirty.😩🐱
yeah him and spiderman are having it ROUGH to say the least. it's like the writers have some sorta personal vendetta against them.
yeah, the desire to just be human is beyond anyone who can understand. It kinds reminds me of Killer Croc.
@@jacyhoogvliets5716 the difference is that Killer Croc can embrace being treated like a monster and actually be one. Ben does not. And that's what makes him so endearing.
that cat emoji makes no sense in the context of this comment
"Scans ain't gonna pick up where I'm hurt."
Ouch... just... ouch.
One thing I don't get is why, in the Marvel Universe - where there are so many mutants and aliens and other strange creatures - the Thing is seen by the public as an unspeakable monster. I'd wager he's less frightening looking than many who don't get the same "ahhhh, monster!" storylines
Probably because most of them look human. In the xmen, they have ways to hide their powers, avengers are basically celebrities, and others don't really care. The thing has no way to hide his powers and people will always be afraid of others who look different
I think it’s cause bro just walks through the middle of New York. There’s bound to be someone freaked out. But the fact he talks completely normal kinda ruins it for how often it happens to him.
This story is pretty dark for Ben, but in others he can show his face without causing a ruckus. He is quite a celebrity, like the rest of the 4F, and a big part of NY is used to his looks.
I guess the problem is people from outside NY. Also, there are many people that hadn't any real contact with mutants and aliens besides the TV, so it's understandable they react extremely when they finally met one.
@@jamesroad316 Aren't F4 also celebrities? They have their own HQ in the penthouse of Baxter Building, they do not have secret identities, all of that.
So in my opinion people should already be accustomed to Ben being there. I mean yeah he's a big rock golem but he's not destroying the city or anything. Just...chilling.
Because muh fear of the unknown
The most unrealistic part of this is that there are apparently NO monster-F’ers in this universe. Seriously, Ben should have veritable legions of them ready to jump his rocks.
That would make his life so much worse...
The furries would be lining up to lick his salt rocks.
You saying he should start his own OF page?
If there are people that want to screw kitchen tiles the thing is not the least unfuckable thing
"Jump his rocks"
My GOD bro you did NOT have to make me laugh so hard
Ben dating someone that isn't Alicia? Yeah that's the first hint that something is gonna go wrong.
Yeah she was the 1 out of the people he's had that kind of relationship with who loved him for who he was on the inside not the outside
He dated she Thing
Everyone talks about how shitty Spidey's life is but Thing's usually up there in terms of suffering
At least Peter can walk down the street in regular clothes. Ben can’t leave the house.
@@russellharrell2747yea I don’t get it Ben looks awesome he’s a big orange buff rock man who is kind and saves people I swear random comic book background characters are npcs bro
Yeah at least with Peter most of the time his suffering is the result of his own dumb decisions, the Thing never asked for this
@@ironmaster6496
Not all the time. Sometime Peter just has it bad. At least he and Ben are best friends.
Get the jackal to make a composite clone of Ben, Peter, Matt, Mr immortal, and Howard the duck then he’d have created the ultimate loser in the universe.
"You think i'm some freak that is into monsters"
Lady. There is only one monster here, and it isn't the man standing in front of you.
it's you Jennifer
It’s sad when one of the hulk’s tougher villians shows more respect and decency.
At first I was like, damn, why didn’t you take a piece off your foot or something? But then I realized he took a piece by his heart, so I got that symbolism.
Damn it you beat me to it😂😂😂
The world was not ready for rockless thing feet
@@maicoxmauler2825Nor will it ever be

How does the Thing do the Thing, while doing the Thing in the Thing?
I think the thing is the Thing can’t do the thing because the Thing’s thing is now like the rest of the Thing, making doing the thing with the Thing not an enjoyable thing.
@@lawrencetalbot8346But what if the Thing’s thing isn’t like the rest of the Thing, meaning he can do the thing but when his thing is finished, the Thing expels Thing-like things from his thing?
@@kingvulcoon1752Well I assume the thing with The Thing's thing is like the rest of the thing, but the other thing with The Thing's thing is that it still might be a thing The Thing can do the thing with. Maybe The Thing's thing is always doing the thing thing's do and isnt entirely too different to other things. As they say everything's a thing if your thing can handle a thing.
@@dippin4dotsThe Things thing must be a mad ting ya know Bumbaclot bet he Smash up the ting nicely that bad man thing with his ting jesus christ pussyclat ting must sing real general that Thing there. 🇯🇲 😅

He metaphorically ripped out his heart by taking the rock that's placed over it. That's the cherry on top that makes this story truly spectacular.

It's also pretty sad that his only real girlfriend is a literal blind woman. In order for The Thing to find happiness, he has to be with someone who is incapable of seeing his form and is forced to see the man on the inside.
Ben is a representation of the extremely self-conscious person who always feels out of place. No one sees him, and when they do, they want him to go away/run from him. His friends are all amazing with powers they can turn off and on at will while he's forever stuck being ugly. They get all the positive attention and he gets all the negative.
It's no wonder the guy is depressed all the time.
The thing has always been one of my favourite superheros and this story just adds to how much i love him as a character.
Dont think ive ever been so blind furious at a comic book side character.
One of those stories where literally all I can say at the end is "bruh 😭"
Real
I say “ OH COME ONNNN “
That ending reminds me of that "It all started when i was born" scene from SpongeBob.
I feel sorry for Ben he tries so hard to be a hero for all hope but people see him as just a monster made out of rocks and I don’t blame him for arguing with Reed for trying to make him human. This has to be saddest thing I seen Ben be. You know it’s been years why hasn’t Reed figure out a cure for his appearance? Love this channel ❤🖤
It's one of the key parts of his character. We wouldn't get incredible stories like this if he was cured.
@@MichaelDeHaven
It's just the suspension of disbelief.
We're made to think that Mr Fantastic is the smartest man in the world. Not just any world, but the world of Marvel Comics that is full of geniuses, marvels of science and magic.
If so, how come that he didn't cure his friend yet after a decade or two?
The only logical reason you could think of would be, that he didn't really try.
@@eomin There's been stories that explored this and it's a pretty constant source of friction between the two when Ben is feeling particularly alienated.

Man I love monster based characters because you can tell stories like this. To show that they’re more than what they look and just want to love and respected.
Living to 6,000 yrs old, seeing all of Human society make stride after stride, advancements that even Reed likely could’ve never fathomed and seemingly finding acceptance among those that millennia past would’ve just as quickly cast him aside… sounds terrible… (no it doesn’t)
Yes he saw (virtually) all the people he’d ever known over the course of thousands of years die around him in what was comparatively hours in his time, but he held their memories, their dreams… he made countless other close friendships, surely had amazing relationships and partnerships with other heroes… saw his fair share of heroes turn evil and his fair share of villains become heroes
With an unnaturally long life comes tremendous heartbreak, but you can’t discount the joys and excitement that he got to experience
We all waited an eternity to exist in these brief, “blink and you’ll miss it” lives, and we have all of eternity after them to be dead… I’m in no hurry to meet eternity, and even it it takes 20 years, 200 years, 2,000 years or 20,000 years, I’ll still be dead for all eternity
Eternity can wait; I’m doing just fine down here

Good shit. 👌🏽
Made me shed some tears to be honest. One of my favorite marvel characters. Like many he doesn’t deserve the treatment people give him. Hate to see him be hurt.
The Thing is, no one could endure what the thing has to go through..
"Scans Aint gonna pick up ,where I am Hurt.."
Dude, that got me...
Seeing amazing comic stories like this is what makes me worried about the upcoming fantastic four movie. Developing 4 of them with this kind of quality within a 2 hour runtime doesn't seem optimal. But I'd love to be proven wrong
Nice to see the Spiderman writers branching out.
Just... _why_ can't they just love Ben for what he fucking is? I don't get why people always look at Ben and go "ZOMG MONSTER AAAAAAAAAAA" when we've _seen_ how heroes and such look like in the Marvel Verse and yet Ben is a point too fucking far?!
Also... "You could have just asked".
God damn, Poor Ben...
The Thing is such a good-hearted guy.
Damn, that shit was COLD! I would rather see our boy stomped by the Hulk than hurt like that...😔
Symbolically he took the panel of skin off of where he heart was right underneath it
Doctor Doom: “Dayum. Too far. Too far.”
This is just so sad, I finally get why The Thing wants to be human so bad he gives the symbiote a shot, when you made the symbiote video I didnt understand why he would go to such lenghts to look human again, now I do
Ben dressed like a 50’s detective like the ninja turtles.
I hate to give you ANOTHER Thing comic to check out, but Marvel Two-In-One Annual #7 from 1982 has maybe my favorite Thing story, with him boxing an alien for the fate of the world. Whether or not you make a video about it (although I'd love to see one), you should definitely read it if you haven't. Seems up your alley.
I remember that. It was the inspiration for the Dial M for Monkey episode "Rasslor".
@@mitchfletcher2386 THAT was the show! I saw that as a kid before I came across the comic, but I couldn't remember the name of it. Thanks!
Marvel universe humans see aliens and world destroying monsters but still surprised seeing The Thing😂
I like the little videos. I like the long videos too. Especially when they are summaries of comics this fucking heart wrenching.
Damn, that was a real downer.
Yeah...this was REALLY sad. glad Ben could have her feel ashamed of herself
Damn, I found this comic at a flea market when I was younger, can’t believe it showed up here on your channel!
I can 100% relate to him, I know EXACTLY how he feels....
The epitome of "Sticks and stones cant hurt my bones, but hurtfull words wounds me"
Or, my favorite variation: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but whips and chains excite me"
I was just browsing comic TH-cam when I came across your channel, and Jesus, you actually bummed me out. But at least you earned a subscriber.
The worst part about the story is that it’s pretty realistic. I can see it happening if superheroes were plausible. Some people have no shame.
You don't need superheroes for this to be realistic. Just substitute how Ben looks with being smart and introverted in the 80s (for example) and the violent nature of the conflict with being led on, used, and exploited for some other purpose, only to be crushed when the truth is revealed. It does happen. It's happened for decades. And given human nature, it'll probably happen until the human race snuffs itself out.

I just discovered this channel, I had no idea that there was even one person in the world like me who considers Ben Grimm their favorite hero. Since I was 3 I was asking my Dad and Mom for toys, comics, and such of this beautiful Orange Rocked heart of gold hero. I'm 30 and that hasnt changed. I love this guy. I'm still sad that when i was a kid i gave away my favorite foot tall Ben Grimm figire to my younger cousin trying to be generous only to find out he threw it away couple years later.
Who gave ben spiderman writers give this man a good story once in a while
“I… I actually thought you were my friend” 😢
Omg omg this is the comic that got me into it all, I remember being like 7 and my parents tossed a couple comics into my room. Most of them were what I expected, good guy beats bad guy, everyone is happy until I saw this and it being so dark but edgy and cool just got me hooked right away. The Thing has always been in my top 5 and I’ll always come back to this comic as a reason why, the depth and character development is perfect.
Thank you for this. I’ve been into the FF since the mid 1960’s and the ones where they explore the heart and soul of Ben Grimm have been some of the very best. Pathos is a subject only rarely explored in Marvel. And it is best done when exploring the lives of those who endure the most disfigurement to gain their power. Thank you for this.
Oh god.... I remember stumbling on this comic once on the Marvel website at random. Man it punches right in the feels.
Did Marvel comics suddenly forget about Alica Masters? The Thing's long-time girlfriend and daughter to the F4's enemy The Puppet Master? Seriously? Or did I miss the memo when they retconned her from everyone's memory?
Probably yet another retcon situation. Remember that like the DCU, the Marvel Verse always has this weird retcon situation where other characters are either erased or stay dead.

The scans won't pick up where I'm hurt at
I'm truly going to be honest I will always love and respect all your video content but I think the real question is you should do a video of the strongest Marvel Comic character in The Creation the one above all
dude. you always cover the best stories.
Even though this story is sad it shows how much Reid and the rest of the team care about Ben. It’s sad Ben can’t find a partner but it’s also sad he can’t see how much his family loves him.
As a person who got bullied at first as a kid but slowly got accepted with humour and sometimes fists, I can really relate to Ben. I still hate the ending, seeing superheroes who are not only beginners to still get so much hate is disgusting to me.. I would propably be a villain if that happened to me.. 😂
I HAVE NEVER SEEN A VIDEO THAT HAS MADE ME WANT TO BUY A COMIC MORE THAN THIS ONE
I just want to hug Ben right now. The poor guy has been mistreated badly by his appearance. These shallow people may look at him as orange rock monster, but if you look at his blue eyes. Theirs a human soul trapped inside it.
It is super sad, but also a masterpiece of a story. Thanks.
Have you covered the issue where Thing fights Hulk as Mr. Fixit for the first time, but doesn’t recognize him as the Hulk? Hilarious issue. They completely WRECK Central Park. Very unique strategy by the Hulk; and the Thing has some great one-liners throughout.
You got me at the end! 😭😂
This opened an old wound, that pain isn't universal, can't be replicated but is done at least once in someone's lifetime.
A fun reminder, that the marvel adventures was the all ages line.
It’s where we got Hulk making bullseye pay taxes, ultron being a creation of shield, the nicest version of the character hatemonger, Emma frost: love interest of Spider-Man , Wolverine revealing he read watchmen, and Ben Grimm getting his heart torn worse than temple of doom.
Hey Mullet, do you think for a future video, you can do a longer and more in-depth video on the Strange Visitor Superman story?
I've never paid much attention to the Fantastic Four, espically the big orange rock but the first minute of your video intregued me...have I been missing something good? That was all it took for me to sub and start the Ben Grimm deep dive :)
Wen they say "The worse she could say is no"
The worst Thing that's happened to him, aside from his upbringing, was when he 1st became Thing and he kept changing back and forth randomly
I think ben grim is one the best characters in marvel. Hes actually pretty complex in comparison to most marvel heros. He kind but guarded. Love his friends but hate everything else. Constantly looked at like a monster but being to exact opposite.
What hurts even more is that piece of Ben was from right above his heart.
He gave her his heart, bloody and broken from the pain she put him through for her greed.
