Apocalypse Quotes

Quotes from one of Marvel's greatest super-villains from the early 90's animated series on Fox.

[@IIIJFRIII]

-"You promised to kill Lilandra!" -"..I lied. -__- "

[@DrStrangefate]

***** I believe it's part one or two of Beyond Good and Evil. It's when Apocalypse begins kidnapping all these psychics to harness their power and control time from Time's Axis.

[@TheSilvergwarf]

+IIIJFRIII He suppose to fight gladiator, that would have been an epic battle. They couldnt do it since the comics never did a showdown between Nur and Kallark. It would have been an awsome and interesting batlle tough

[@OfLegendBorn]

+IIIJFRIII *"just another annoying incest."*

[@IIIJFRIII]

Of Legend I Am Born It's another apoc one liner. You can find it on other apoc quotes videos.

[@PolarPhantom]

It's one of the few times Apocalypse seems to enjoy a little humour.

[@jackedsamurai772]

"I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond you." The thing that makes this line so powerful is that Apocalypse isn't bragging, he's just stating fact.

[@PerfectAlibi1]

I don't think he actually is. He just tries to make it appear so, and he is VERY good at it

[@AssassinoSighted]

He was the first mutant

"Evil? I am not malevolent, I simply AM! I am the rocks of the eternal shore. Crash against me, and be broken! There exists no freedom from me, only freedom through me!" Don't you wish *you* could deliver lines like that with a straight face?

[@brianb9325]

***** lol exactly. Dont forget "You have traveled over 50 centuries to defeat me, when will you realize it cannot be done" and "you challenge me again? Blasphemer! how dare you violate my sacred chambers!" and my personal favorite " I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond you"

[@brianb9325]

***** Oh and another one " how many peoples have dreamed of my end? You are no closer than the Babylonians with their swords and fire sticks"

[@roberthenryscott8176]

That's my favorite line: "I am the rocks of the eternal shore, crash against me and be broken!" LOL.

[@anthonywhite6895]

"I lied" LOL

[@NoisyKoel]

The best one-liner from him. "I lied" HAHA

[@ghett0bla5t]

He could have come up with any sort of rationalization for why he doesn't need to keep his word to an inferior being like Deathbird. He didn't even bother, that's how few fucks he gave.

Highly agreed!!

[@Zgmflegend]

This whole show is better than any marvel movie ever made.

[@nightmarekid1986]

I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond YOU best quote ever

[@TeamTowers1]

Although it doesn't make a hole lot of sense because he is a mutant. Still awesome though

[@sunnder0]

TeamTowers1 it makes plenty sense and is consistent with his history. He spent part of his early life wandering from country to country, convincing people he was a god, so he probably now considers himself too a god, with powers far beyond that of the standard mutant.

[@loonytunescrazy]

Agreed one of my fave lines he is one of the olddest mutants in existance and creed face is pricless when he see and again when meets his father who I won;t spoiil

[@nard1000]

When I would play Marvel vs Capcom against my brother, this was one on my favorite taunts. Actually, I would use it with just about any video game. Also, Princess Bride. "Are you still trying to win?"

[@ViraL_FootprinT.ex.e]

sunnder0 Plus with his Celestial upgrades, there's probably some truth to his statement anyway.

[@nathanieljernigan1147]

"I am the rocks of the eternal shore. Crash against me, and be broken!" You don't get many villains that can pull off that line.

[@sharpcuttah275]

Only the booming voice and presence of Apocalypse can pronounce that line

[@buffyou101]

How existential of Apocalypse. Pondering that his failures stem from a cosmic joke being played upon him, and that he's forever caught in some sort of "purgatory" from which he cannot escape from. That shit cuts deep.

[@omnissiah1119]

It's incredible.

that voice by John Colicos is simply bad ass!!

[@noveltycrusade]

This guy's monologues gets my day started off right 👍👍👍👍 "I am the rocks of the eternal shores,crash against me,and be broken"- Apocalypse

[@sky20nyc]

I regret this series never gave us a monologing battle between Storm and Apocalypse.

[@solblackguy]

​@@sky20nycI wanted that storyline where Forge made a device for Nightcrawler to have more control over his teleporting and he banishes Apocalypse to the brimstone dimension. But everytime Nightcrawler teleported, he would get a split second glimpse of Apocalypse trying to grab him.

[@noveltycrusade]

Still a good way to start your day 👍

[@MistaKlutch]

Maybe my favorite villain, ever, not named Joker. The UNBRIDLED, UNENDING shit talk was GOD TIER. Outstanding range in vocal dynamics/tone. Talking down on ANYTHING. I LOVED this character. Oh yeah and he was stupid powerful.

[@jeremiah_12]

I loved his ish talking. He really was on that “You’re beneath me” mentality. Very good writers.

[@windi1982]

"I AM AS FAR BEYOND MUTANTS AS THEY ARE BEYOND YOU!!!" What a line!!!!

[@SNESdrunk]

1:27 I like how Apocalypse seems to get bored with his own monologue... "Wait... what was I saying again?"

[@PerfectAlibi1]

You're mistaking dramatic pauses for boredom. 😉

[@cesarvictoriano8072]

T Posed to assert dominance

[@calibansfury]

"Look upon me and tremble, for I bring the purity of oblivion to your world...". One of the best lines ever. The other "I am the rocks of the eternal shore...crash upon me and be broken..."

[@slayerd357]

Apocalypse is by far my favorite Marvel villian. Nearly immortal and crazy powerful with a flair for the dramatic. Plus I love the fact that throughout time he's posed as several different deities to invoke fear and even inspire worship.

[@hyylo]

notice how the language used a far superior to the rubbish dumbed down stuff we get on TV and cinema/movies today.

"Beast. How many peoples have dreamed of my end? You are no closer than the Babylonians with their swords and fire sticks! " Simply amazing, his aora of mysticism and malevolence is just blood curdling in the best way. If they try to make a film rendition of apocalypse, I hope they do his character justice by finding a worthy voice actor.

[@gpagnotti]

"I lied"...Ha! What a jerk

[@28098610w]

John Colicos's approach to voicing Apocalypse is that of a classic Shakespearen villain - which actually works very well , given Apocalypse is a character that's over centuries old with a god complex .

[@gryndkor]

These dialogue highlights are giving me chills. I think I'd forgotten just how terrifying and intimidating Apocalypse's voice was.

[@DigableDude]

Can you imagine Apocalypse and Darkseid battling each other with shakesperian quotes? Now that would be both funny and epic.

[@ArmandtheWise]

Apocalypse- "Rebuild a new one, with Fire and Blood." He must have taught that one to the Targaryens.

[@jediknt6470]

Now THAT! is how apocalypse is supposed to sound!my hats off to John Colicos (R.I.P),he was Apocalypse.

[@andrewvincent7299]

"You shall pay for your hubris....RIGHT NOOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!!" lol

[@VorpalDerringer]

"How many peoples have dreamed of my end...you are no closer than the Babylonians with their swords and fire sticks!" Thank you! I was searching for this line, I knew he said something like this!

[@Bingo_the_Pug]

Apocalypse has all this power, he can never be truly killed but he can never really win either. He even realizes this

[@79RAYJAY]

"there exist no freedom from me, there is only freedom through me". love that one. this was the perfect voice for his character.

[@Ragitsu]

Oscar Isaac's Apocalypse is WAY too soft-spoken by comparison.

[@Decenium]

+Ragitsu I would just say straight up crap

[@Ragitsu]

Decenium That's a fair sentiment.

[@bryantp18]

Omg exactly like he was whispering " my child" the whole time apocalypse has a demanding dictator like authoritative type of presence Isaac just didn't bring that to me he was way to passive overall.

[@evilemperordude]

The problem probably lies more with the direction than Isaac's acting.

[@TheGamerThing]

+paul bryant I liked that. Made him seem like an actual leader that people would worship

[@TheMKVSDBZFAN1]

I wish Michael Clarke Duncan was still alive, he would have make a great Apocalypse in the upcoming X-Men movie

[@DudeL26710]

I love his Shatner-esque pauses at 1:26 "I am...APOCALYPSE!...Look upon the future...and tremble!"

[@FireMadeFleshII]

Maybe they could pull a Darth Vader & have one person be the physical embodiment of Apocalypse & someone else be the voice...someone like Jeffery Wright or Laurence Fishburne perhaps? They definitely need to cast someone with the theater gravitas--let's hope they actually write the character as exquisitely as they did for this series. This was absolute villainous perfection. *All hail the brilliance that was John Colicos!*

[@kingbeef66]

This animated version of Apocalypse really set the bar high. Not only in superpowers but in persona which is really Shakespearean. Far better than that Ivan Ooze looking live action parody made by Bryan Singer. Apparently the concept of the character was far beyond him like as one Apocalypse's quotes he so states from these scenes.

[@jerodast]

That sad thing is Ivan Ooze was ALSO an extremely entertaining movie villain. Oscar Issac's version...I don't remember a single moment from him. Sometimes you gotta know how to ham it up.

This xmen got all the voices right on the dot. This and most of the 80's cartoons had appropriate voices. Wolverine has that Clint Eastwood kind of voice and Apocalypse is juuuuuuuuuuust right.

[@thanoskell1335]

fpsfreak Actually this was during the 90s, unless you meant this and cartoons from the 80s then sorry I misunderstood what you typed.

[@fpsfreak4079]

thanos kell Yea, sorry my wording is a bit misleading. I further want to say is that the late 90's and 2000's they seem to use more squeaky childish voices for these types of cartoons. But I'm most likely biased cuz' this came out when i was a lil shit.

[@thanoskell1335]

fpsfreak I was born after this show aired but my dad being a huge comic guy raised me with this, Spider-man, Batman tas, and Superman. As well as other comic based cartoons that came later like Justice League and Avengers Earth's Mightiest heroes. So personally I feel that there were still good cartoons after the 80s but your mileage varies of course.

[@u235u235u235]

fpsfreak any leader of a cause should sound educated and enlightened. the bigger the leader the more enlightened they should sound.

[@fpsfreak4079]

***** I whole-heartedly agree with you. I hope they get Apocalypse right in the movies. Right here they had him sounding very prophetic/poetic. His script was all gold I tells ya! I have to come back every few months and watch this again.

I really loved apocalypse, he could never die and always came back. It took the celestials to defeat him. Though its not confirmed if they killed him or not, think an eternity of pain and agony what promised him for using his technology after they made an agreement or something. ^^ shame he couldn't have just moved to another world to build his utopia he wanted and tried to conquer the stars. And try find some way out of his deal with celestials. To me he had so much potential.
