I hope Grant comes back to Marvel and we finally get the Morrison DR Strange run we should’ve got years ago
Wait, he was going to do Dr. Strange?
Grant Morrison and Alan Moore were literally born to write Dr Strange...
@@matthewschwartz6607 He should, the man is a real life mage and very much into the occult. Just look at Nameless.
Get him on a new version of X-statix
That would be absolutely amazing
I love Grant Morrison's New X-Men so much. It was basically the first time a writer took a big swing at moving the mutant metaphor past the baseline of discrimination and prejudice as Chris Claremont defined it for multiple decades. It had amazing worldbuilding with mutants basically having their own class system and a niche within New York like how there'd be a Chinatown in like every major North American city, and mutant celebrities like fashion designers who would unintentionally inspire humans to jump on a preconceived trend of trying to get their own mutations without understanding the ramifications of being so marginalized and hated by the wider world. It's honestly timeless in my eyes.
Can’t wait to read the run when this Omnibus reprint comes out
@@TheComicBookReportyou will probably enjoy it, I believe the reprint is around the end of the month or next month.
I really liked quite a bit of it . Other than his Magneto. Ugh!
It wasn't very good and wasn't very X-Men
Totally fell apart at the end though
Rest In Peace John Romita Sr.
Wolverine is such an ICONIC character.
Morrison’s explanation of the origin of secondary mutation was amazing 😂👏
What a stunning interview
I don't care for either writer but I'd 💕 for Chris Claremont to return to write Captain Marvel ❤
it's soo brilliantly!
@@trancejazz great interview
These two are LEGENDS when it comes to their work for the X-Men and mutants in the comics.
💯💯💯
Grant Morrison's X-men Stories got me stuck with the X-men back when i was a kid, Jonathan Hickman BLEW MY MIND with his stories in Avengers, Fantastic Four and X-men. 2 of the Best guys Marvel could have. Love them and wish always the Best for them.
Weird how they both are cosplaying Magneto and profesor X for this interview
I need Grant Morrison to write the X-Men again. He really understands these characters.
I can only get behind this if they give it good artist. That art is so ugly it's too unsettling, yes all of it.
Two absolute legends who kept (and are keeping) my X-love alive and well.
I love Morrison's x men this was the series that made me and fan of his and Hickman's krakoa era of x men is incredible they are both masters of comics storytelling
Grant is such a joy!
Grant's view and interpretation of Hank being bi-polar makes so much sense for the character. I really hadn't liked his development the past few years, but looking at it through that lens, I can understand and accept the character's choices much better.
Grant’s insights into characters is so thoughtful.
But poor Hank is irredeemable by now...
@@Jumpoable All it takes is the next writer to retcon something in about him being possessed, controlled, etc. We've already got the hints that Hank will be restored to his Avengers' era personality.
"Bipolar" doesn't mean "sometimes acting like an amoral sociopath."
@@MichaelAronson Yeah, this really doesn't sound like bi-polar disorder currently. Percy did drop a big hint in the early issues that Beast was being controlled by The Chronicler like Colossus is, but it hasn't been followed up on.
I loved Morrison's X-Men.
Hickmans f4 will forever be amazing
Well done very good interview with Grant Morrison and Johnathan Hickman on their time working on the X-Men comic books.
I only wish the interview was a hour long. But it was interesting what they have to say about the X-Men 60th anniversary.
This was a blast to watch Marvel well done. 👍
Agreed! I could have listened for another two hours.
Marvel and DC should give Grant Morrison 12 issues to make the craziest Secret Crisis crossover series to ever exist
Happy 60 years of X-Men
I like what Grant said about Beast. I keep reading people love how Beast has gone full-villain, but I think my perspective on Beast is more in line with Morrison's.
Great interview with some incredible creators!
TBH Grant Morison's X-Men run was the last time I consistently read x-men.
Marvel, ffs just let Jonathan finish his story. Give him atleast one title. And let it be an alternate universe or whatever. Let him finish what he started.
IKR!!! But know, they wanted to wring every ounce of mileage they could get out of the Krakoa era to the point where most are now over it
Monkey's paw just curled a finger
@@Manuz-fs9iuI’d need to see some proper polling before I’d accept that “most” feel that way. The Krakoa era is such a rich concept that I think it could easily be the status quo for another ten years, and the current move to undo much of it is disappointing to me. I know other people who feel that way. I hope they keep Krakoa around going forward. It would be boring to go back to the same old “hated and feared” routine.
Love X-men 😢
Grant and Frank Q's New X-Men got me hooked back into the X-men books :)
Wow, this needed more than 22 minutes! I feel like an hour would've been too short.
I first started reading X-books with X-Factor no. 1
All the love for this legends! 😊🙏🏼🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Loved this interview
Grant, I quit comics until you came along. Your X-men brought me back.
I love this kind of content, creators speakings about everything, i really loved when Joe Q did it during the pandemic. More of this please!!!
I like Claremont's X - Men. They were really good. ✌
Grant us with a great interview ,tnx
Two Absolute Legends 👬🏼🙌🏼 in the MCU.
I read Grant Morrison’s X-Men a month ago and it was my first X-Men book. It was freaking amazing and interesting. Quinton Quire, Fantomex, and the beast arc with Cassandra nova as well Xorn. I can’t wait to pick up the physical omnibus this month!
Making Moira the viillain was the biggest fumble in X story writing history. Hickman gave us GOLD with HoX/PoX and Moira's retcon and they BLEW it.
Yes. This.
Nah it was a great move
@@thomas1810 No it wasn't baby.
@@daaaydream8648 yes it was sweetheart
@@thomas1810 It wasn't love. Literally nobody thinks it was.
Great interview here
That was a good interview
90s kids i am ❤
Two pins in the X Men history this is Awesome.
Cool music at the end too⚡️💖
Grant is my favorite Scott summers actually god bless
Anyone else find Grant and Jonathans writing style to be very similar to one another? Not in a bad way of course but it’s just they go about Science fantasy in a similar approach.
Grant Morrison’s run on X Men was hampered by inconsistency in the art but man his story was really good. He laid the foundation for some really amazing stories long after his run. Uncanny X Force and Wolverine and The X Men come to mind. Uncanny X Force was just so freaking amazing.
Never got to read Hickman’s X Men because I stopped reading Comics after Secret Wars. Kinda the pinnacle of everything I wanted in a Marvel story. And Hickman left afterwards. But his entire Marvel run is insane. From Secret Warriors to FF culminating in his Avengers run, man I loved his run. But everyone says his run on X Men is really good. Maybe one day I will get to it.
Great
Grant Morrison is the most emotionally intelligent human to ever write a comic book.
Genius!!!
It's like you causally gloss over Alan Moore.
@@bradydavis5791Man there's too many great writers. I feel like Grant or Moore could've easily been acceptable choices.
@@bradydavis5791Moore is probably the superior writer but I doubt he himself would claim much emotional intelligence.
Hickman I am still so heartbroken that you didn’t finish your XMEN run. We will never know what might have been.
Same here, and the part of the video that really peaked my interest was Hickman confirming that Moira wasn’t meant to become a villain & how down he sounded giving that answer… makes it sound like the new teams/Marvel management have strayed quite a bit from his plan
@@ATKL2k12 Definitely. He was trying to be as diplomatic and respectful as possible, but it's clear things didn't go as he planned.
I haven’t read Marvel since he left. It was such a bummer and the last straw for me.
@@AxtionBoy-nv1uk He's coming back for like 3 new miniseries this year
He couldn't run a team. They all followed his lead
I do love the fact my question was read in this amazing session, but it makes me question it even more the change with Karima. Now, more than ever I believe that she was taken over by Moira. I wonder when the change to Moira being a villain happened then. Was it when she did not get her book? 😱😱😱
oh wow that's so cool, now we know how scott would dance.
Two goats 🐐
I'd love it if Marvel made a Hellfire club TV show that's like The Sopranos of the MCU. Have season one be about Sebastian shaw (maybe played by Ian McShane) VS Wilson Fisk trying to control New York while Emma Frost plans her takeover of the Hellfire club?
Marvel is the best
For some reason, they never sold X-Men comics where I lived in the UK in the early 2000's. Only Spider-Man and Avengers. New X-Men and Ultimate X-Men were my first X-Men comics and I will love them till the day I die! The 2000's was the last great era of the team!
It was 2004 for me. Kitty riding in that bullet in astonishing x men was like saying goodbye to X-Men writing greatness.
Didn't feel the magic again until Hickman
@@nachonachoman LOVED Astonishing. Gifted was groundbreaking for me. The writer of Buffy writing X-Men changed the course of my life hahaha
@@nickoffury I think he said buffy was based on kitty and he had always wanted to write kitty. You could tell he really loved the character. Of all the superstar writers that did a thing on X-Men, character wise, Whedon's run felt most true to the work Claremont had done. Like seeing old friends that had grown up
I just came here to see Grant Morrison
I would love to know what Grant wanted to do with Colossus.
Grant Morrison x men story was incredible and had best new characters introduced too marvel should hire him again for X-Men series
*them
@@ricbaines1424dude, shut up. He’s a biological male that enjoys crossdressing.
Just stop it already. And don’t feed me the bigotry nonsense. You’re conflating intersex and hermaphroditism with trendy labels.
Just.
Shut.
Up!
@@ricbaines1424don't necessarily need Frank, just Grants writing
@@ricbaines1424no he is a singular person
@@sinisterkyle4884Morrison now identifies as non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.
Loving Jonathan’s new Spider-Man
❤🎉🎉
I love grant Morrison on fantastic four and Hickman on iron man
Any more Marvel Life Stories you want to see?
Legends .
Morrison 🤝 Hickman
The X is a Ten
Hopefully @Comics Explained is watching!!!
Grant looks like Xavier
The X-Men I would love to see a new video for them. Make like The Spider-Man game and not the Avenges game.
Hickman should get a thor run that would be awesome. He did ultimate Thor. It's great but if you read it you will see why id love a 616 version
Watching this makes me so sad. I wish Hickman was still writing main X-men 😢😢😢😢
Psylocke💙
GUYS I JUST WATCHED TRANSFORMERS AND IT IS REALLY GREAT 1000/ 10 YOU HAVE TO WATCH IT IN THEATHERS 🎥🎥🎞🎞❗️❗️ IT IS A BIG SUCCES AT THE BOX OFFICE u
I’m more into runs like Peter David x-Factor, Jim Lee X-men .
I don’t think that Jim Starlin turned him blue .
Rilis hero peran baru
Sorry we never got Grant's Siren
Moira shouldn’t have been a villain. Perfect example of how bad things got off the rails when Hickman left
Two genius
I love Morrison, but many of his runs start out great and then fizzle out. For the first 15-20 issues, his JLA run was almost perfect, but then it faded towards the end as he just kept trying to one up himself. Similarly his X Men run was amazing up until the Shi-Ar invasion. Then it was just so-so. Crazy that Emma Frost would have never become a bigger part of the X Men universe if Morrison had been able to use Colossus.

X-Men: Life Story?
I feel like a teenager again.:)
Grant practically ENDED the X-book! He basically wrote a conclusion to the line . There have been a lot of other good stories and runs since then, but it felt like the franchise ended .
Present 5 hours
I love how Grant’s house is just a total mess…
Grant was ahead of his time
*their
GENTE VAYAN A VER TRANSFORMERS LA PELÍCULA ESTA GENIAL ❗️YA VOY 3 VECES QUE LA VEO EN CINES 🎞w
I was gonna say "WHERE IS ASTONISHING X-MEN!?" Then I remembered that J*ss was the writer of that run. I still love that run tho.
I feel like I'm watching a conversation between two gods.
Well Hickman, you did the greatest character evolution with Moira MacTaggert.
Then Percy ruined it.

"Grant, tell me about this story you wrote."
"Jonathan, tell me about the stories other people wrote."
This is the correct way to interview these two people, if it's been mandated that you have to put Hickman on camera.
I disagree. Hickman wrote and laid out the foundation. He wrote almost everything that has had any significance to his run up to this point. The fact that so many writers fell in line to attempt to finish his vision is a testament to Hickman's strong foundation.
@@CAPS0L It's a testament to editors hiring writers, and writers wanting to get paid. Hickman doesn't get credit for work other people did. What an awful take.
@@MichaelAronson I’m not saying to not give credit to the writers who attempted to finish Hickmans outline. Weird take on what I wrote.
I’m saying it’s disingenuous to NOT give credit to Jonathan Hickman for what he wrote and contributed to X-Men. He wrote a lot of issues and laid the foundation for what follows. He deserves all the recognition he’s getting .
@@CAPS0L "I’m saying it’s disingenuous to not give credit to Jonathan Hickman"
He doesn't get credit for stories other people wrote. What an awful take.
@@MichaelAronson You don't even know how to quote me let alone understand what I wrote. Have a great day
Игристый питерский Х-салют🥂🍾🤓
Architects of the two most damaging X-Men runs ever
The Xmen apparently wear a lot of boots according to Grant
What if Xmen meet Avengers & Team up!!✊🏻👊🏻
The X-Men and Avengers are from the same Earth. They know each other already. And have had dozens of adventures together, throughout the years.
Two of my favourite X-Men writers being part of the LGBTQ+ community is so amazing. 🥰
I lope you
After how great X-Men were in the 80s and 90s, the 2000s were the absolute worst period in X-Men history.
Ok... Im on break... Only cuz my Father taught me comic lore is important history shall i watch this meow
💜🏴☠️🌼👻🎸🚶🚶♀️🚶♂️🤖👾

Morrison's Xmen were a total aberration

The fog is coming
I can honestly see J.H. starting an X-Men animated movies..this man writing is on genius level. What he did with Cyclops and Storm and their relationship as leaders in House/Powers of X restored my interest is Amazing. The fact he didn’t lose focus on who and what mattered and how and where they fit into a story shows that he cares about the characters and more importantly the fans. We got to see the connection between Sunspot and Cannonball..Sage and Beast..Professor and Magneto that hasn’t been touched on since X-Treme X-Men. Hickman understands the way the world works and how certain groups are treated and what they go through so he knows that time of relief and peace are always short lived..more of a break than a life and this is what makes his art so attractive and relatable.
So Moira wasn’t going to be a villain. I have to admit Inferno felt like a punch in the gut, I wan rooting so much for Moira. And I still kinda am but she just lost it completely, Jesus.
Grant Morrison has THE Thickest brogue I ever heard. Thank god for subtitles!
Speaking of Beast, the best writer for him is Warren Ellis. He gave Beast the funniest lines, with a subtext of "I'm glad you asked that with me in earshot!" in his long speeches. The Best Beast is the one who's fun to be around, happy to help, and doesn't put down his colleagues without a reason (looking at YOU, Rick Remender!).
