I do love when people complain about things like modern X-Men (and comics as a whole) by saying it's just a checklist of diversity, and that runs like Claremont suffered no such "faults." Claremont's relaunch was literally a checklist of diversity.

Honestly Claremont’s time might be one of the greatest indicators of how impactful diversity can be on storytelling. I’d argue it’s the thing that made the X-Men feel more real and fluid than ever before.

@ForEveryKindofGeek without question. Having a group of people so glaringly different from one another allowed for such a vast array of storytelling.

Bob Iger, the Disney CEO who purchased almost everything and sawthings like Star Wars dive into the ground under his watch . What a guy .

Xcellent video. I’m currently having the pleasure of reading through Claremont’s run (along with New Mutants) and this video captures the energy of those early years flawlessly.

As a fan who was almost completely beholden to rockstar artists of the 90s, and oblivious to the writing and editing teams that told the stories, I love hearing about Claremont’s run… Just sorry I didn’t appreciate or even understand decades ago how essential his work on this franchise has proven itself to be.

Any video that quotes Jon Lovitz is top tier quality. Wonderful job incorporating it into the script. I've heard that Claremont eventually conceded that Jean dying at the conclusion of the Dark Phoenix Saga was corrupt. It's interesting how creators' view on their work changes decades later. I'm fortunate that last winter I picked up the first 50 issues of X-Men Classic which reprinted most of this run (no clue why four issues were skipped). Not only are these comics amazing, but they really feel timeless. If they came out today, I imagine they'd be just as popular. Those are the best types of comics in my opinion.

Great video! Im sure you get this question a lot, but how do you edit your videos?
@ForEveryKindofGeek22 сағат бұрын
Thanks! I primarily use a mix of Photoshop to cut out different elements and I edit/animate/record everything inside of Premiere, though I'm thinking of switching platforms soon

He has been rightly called out over transphobic statements, Islamophobic statements, and all sorts of unsavory stuff on his personal forum over the years.

What I find so interesting is were it not for the efforts that Chris Claremont and crew brought to this revitalization of the X-Men, there’s a good chance that the X-Men would’ve become another of Marvel’s many obscure and forgotten characters. And this video does a great job at showing why this era was so instrumental for the X-Men.

For what it's worth I don't think you can talk about Claremont's X-Men without mentioning Lee, Kirby, Thomas, Adams, etc. There were plenty of great ideas in those first years, but I think Claremont's voice is really what helped the title break out of its Fantastic-Four-Lite beginnings.
