[@YounghomieSmith]

The 90s X-Men cartoon did a great job telling the “ the dark Phoenix saga”

[@shawnswint1521]

Elijahjsmith22 I Second that Statement.

[@joshgillam5130]

So much that they actually had to credit Chris Claremont in the opening credits, lol. Definitely one of the most faithful adaptations of a comic story arc.

[@marcushamner5994]

I have the entire series! I posted the intro of the X-Men animated series on my channel!

[@manyIsOne]

Too bad season 5 was not as good....fox kids where you at?lol

[@YounghomieSmith]

manyIsOne season 5 was different Because Canada made it License was changed

[@flipfloplogic]

John Byrne + Chris Claremont + the xmen = legendary awesomeness! The dark phoenix run is phenomenal.

[@jiggygrand]

Totally Agree and that's why the films will never be able to capture that awesomeness!!

[@jaredgarcia8638]

Disney will adapt it better

[@WileyKeneki]

“Hear me X-Men, no longer am I the woman you knew ! I am fire & life incarnate. Now & forever.. I AM PHOENIX 🔥”

[@justingochioco1121]

Imagine if she says that in the new Dark Phoenix movie

[@WileyKeneki]

Justin Gochioco Be freaking awesome ha

[@iamphoenix1086]

Yea.. i am pboenix.. Not lady sansa anymore..😄😄😄

[@AsheCraftingCorner]

Jean's Dark Phoenix costume is one of my favorites ever

[@AsheCraftingCorner]

@U Damu yes

[@Borderlines]

Jean was the very first comic character that I was exposed to and I never stopped liking her ever since. Her powers are very pleasing to me and her story as the phoenix is just so poignant.

[@frankcommatobe8009]

Bruh the Slave thing with storm was a certifiable bruh moment

[@NP-zv4bf]

I can’t even with that part 😭

[@efxnews4776]

@@NP-zv4bf that scene is brilliant to me... it shows perfectly how a villain is supposed to ACT as a villain and THINK as a villain... The scene paints perfectly with the contrast. Jean is trapped in her own mind, Phoenix don't even know what slavery is, she is experiencing human emotions for the first time, and bad guys are being bad guys. Jason Wingard get what he deserved at the end. That scene is was ment to shock us, to makes us feel unconfortable, it isn't meant to INSPIRE YOU, that would be wrong if it were the heroes doing, not the villains.

One of the greatest story arcs in comic history right here

[@vampyr69]

How to know if someone is cool upon first meeting: Say "and, yeaaaah..." Rob style, and if they get the reference, they're cool

[@acommonmanwithrandomwords8373]

Just looking at these comic frames. It’s like walking back down memory lane. I had forgotten how much I loved John byrne’s artwork back then.

[@evanhuff682]

I quit collecting Xmen in 80s after Cockrum left for the 2nd time. After him and Byrne, Paul Smith art didn't cut it. It made me sick when Romita Jr kept that style.

[@FrankDrive]

Your enthusiasm and knowledge makes these videos extremely fun to watch

[@davidgeldner2167]

Yes! I requested this specifically. Thanks Rob!

[@Dr.ShortSleeves]

Rob I really appreciate all that you and Gordon do! It has reignited my passion for comics and has kept me well entertained on some long road trips. Thank you both!

[@hershysquirts187]

The comic is always better than the movie. Hollywood always messes it up.

[@Polar-ized]

I find this pretty funny since I was watching your older Dark Pheonix saga videos just last night

[@JuanGonzalez-bi3ts]

I’ve been waiting for this since the Phoenix saga was uploaded... thanks, Rob!

[@aladdinsc]

Loved your breakdown Rob!! Favorite storyline

[@WileyKeneki]

The Saga that got me into the X-Men. The fall of Jean Grey. This story will forever be of my all time favourites.

[@ComicBrooks]

ROBCORPS 4 LIFE!!!!!! Another great video buddy. I love all the work you've done with the X-MEN, def my favorite channel for all things MARVEL!!!

[@Teddydaniels123]

damn boi pumping out 2 videos in 24 hours! don't go to crazy love your videos

[@DoctorDoom69]

I love the long videos , i literally sit and each my lunch to them lol , it’s like midday tv for people that don’t watch tv 🥇💯🔥

[@purpose808]

Another video Rob! Awesome!

[@kvaldez46]

Maybe this will hype me up enough to maybe see Dark Phoenix

[@thebeardedseeker5633]

thanks! this was an awesome refresher in anticipation of the movie.

[@ThePowerfulOne07]

Rob, this video has made my day😭😭😭

[@Maverick-tv4hl]

This was great, Rob, thank you! When you get the chance I would love to see a video on Acts of Vengeance.

[@irmaaguayo6175]

The dark Phoenix is rad love her comics thanks for knowledge comic man🦅

[@Iamnoone989]

Omg yes thank you for explaining this I love this story and you're the best

[@instantbadass]

Claremont forgot the most important character of the Inner Circle: Vladamir Makarov.

[@nikolaibelinski8133]

Just Here waiting for the inevitable captain price comment

[@chada7094]

My favorite storyline from X Men The Animated Series. Read it when my Uncle gave me his copy. Love your Green Lantern videos. Great work Rob.

[@johnc6158]

This was my introduction story to X-men comics and I love it as my favorite I can’t wait to see part 2

[@thomaspatterson5991]

Ahh yess, another exciting video!!

[@suoutamaki14]

you made me laugh with your brief impression of xavier telling her to snap out of it.

[@imreplyingtothiscomment2378]

Glad youe doing this

[@luisg3235]

the way you say wolverine, 'wolfrain' drives me crazy lol

[@oscarrosales6862]

Thank you rob, I thought I was gonna have to dig through KZbin to find this stuff.

[@ccl7983]

Rob + Kevin feige = a Master piece

[@81Earthangel]

One of the first X-men stories I read as a kid along with Brood Wars and some filler issues. So great.

[@theheritic209]

The Inner Circle sounds a lot like the 13 Bloodline conspiracy.

[@jaredgarcia8638]

Hello. You have my attention. What is the 13 Bloodlines Conspiracy

[@theheritic209]

Jared Garcia honestly, looking it up and diving into it will be better than any explanation i could give.

[@jaredgarcia8638]

@@theheritic209 far enough. Just what level of weird and mindblowing conspiracy am I going to see?

[@theheritic209]

Jared Garcia kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4q6h5earpaXf6M here’s ur kicker. Take everything with a grain of salt. Cause honestly bro, it’s a domino effect after digging into this stuff.

[@agrey832]

This is one of Marvel's best storylines hands down 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@damon2550]

Excellent storyteller! I enjoy a-lot of your “hidden” philosophy as well! Create agreement without debate. I use the same process with I think can handle it. Keep up the good work. So, yeaaa!

[@OLDSKOOLNYC1]

This story arc and Days of Future Past impacted my preteens so profoundly, it resonates to this day almost 40 years later!

[@rbiznezz2]

That BYRNE-AUSTIN art, CLAREMONT-BYRNE story... can't be beat...

[@LC-GAMING999]

Sick story of DARK Phoenix ! Just in time for the MCU. Please do a Part 2 video on Jason Wyngarde aka Mastermind or his daughters. Great job !

[@JuanGonzalez-bi3ts]

Louis C. One of Robs very first post is on Jason Wyngarde, check it out.

[@LC-GAMING999]

Juan Gonzalez Thanks I just did! That was Rob’s First Video !

[@bartvdlinden8855]

Rob! Love the vids man, keep them flowing! With the xmen comming to the mcu i realy realy hope they finally do Rogue justice. Maybe you can shine some light on the character.. i did not source check but im surprised that with the recent miss marvel appearance no one is talking about the fact that rogue 'took' her powers...at least thats what i remember. If im wrong... well we need a rogue video!!!

[@thil2894]

The Hellfire club… those queens outfit man...

[@untamedhabs3801]

Hey Rob love the videos keep up the great work I was thinking what if say you were gonna pick a team of 6-10 best avengers and put them up against the 6-10 best xmen curious of who you pick and who would win

[@doomboogie315]

*and yeahhhhhhh. Let's Begin*

[@jamalholts4060]

I love your videos

[@travistomblin2144]

YES!!! Leland was awesome and underused!!! He was integral in defeating Nimrod...even if he died doing so.

[@carveraugustus3840]

Wow what a story. Phoenix is crazy,

[@MrZomg17]

Robert. ..your impression of Charles Xavier was 100..ahahaha

[@kidistight]

That Charles Xavier impersonation was hilarious.

[@ManiaMac1613]

My all-time favorite X-Men story!

[@PathsUnwritten]

18:20 "Charles Xavier walked in..." Oh Rob jokes

[@stoeydude2000]

I was just watching this while sat down stairs, end of the video and my wife shouted PEACE from upstairs lol.

[@nghiyelekwa5139]

Now that the new swamp thing is out...

[@srstriker6420]

Mastermind never gets the credit he truly deserves

[@urickmann7768]

Mastermind was a fool who didn't even comprehend what jean was he basically put a leash on a tiger

[@srstriker6420]

Urick Mann I don't know why they couldn't just use him in the movie?

[@fjohnston2915]

I’m here not for the movie coming out, but for Claremont’s writing.

[@scottpilon]

I haven’t come across any other channels that have this many ads, like every five minutes.

[@ElevationAllah]

Cyclops is a punk, CLASSIC @Comics Explained

[@andimcgaw]

Best X-Men Comic book Writer & Artist period. Sorry Rob but Emma Frost was never more powerful than Prof X. Rob Phoenix gave Mastermind full cosmic awareness, experienced by the abstract entities of MU she gave him the power of A literal God in an instant, that's what put him in a catatonic state. It's not the same level of cosmic awareness which was originally given to Captain Mar-vell & Quasar even Silver Surfer has a version of it, as do the Elders this is like having a heightened awareness of things that happen throughout the cosmos but not but still not on the level of the Phoenix. Phoenix connects to every life form past, present & future throughout the multiverse which takes her level of cosmic awareness too Eternity's level. She is basically Omniscient.

[@andrewmatseshe7343]

Them 3 goons Wolvie chopped up in the sewers, Cole, Reese and Macon needed to become cyborgs to survive after this attack. Pierce hooked it up and thusly the Reavers were born. Bonebreaker, Pretty Boy, Deathstrike, etc come in later stories.

[@marcmcdonnell6586]

Rob for the specific Avengers cartoon title that you’re looking for is “Earth’s Mightiest Heroes” just to avoid confusion for what you’re talking about for making a comparing example of Harry Leland and Gravaton.😉👍🏻

[@aqure9]

You mean Dank Phoenix Saga. Where haters try to block Jean's dankness.

[@zaynnaeem7821]

Could you explain "Batman: Last Knight on Earth"?

[@brianokuliczki7879]

Yes please. It looks very interesting.

[@Jeudaos]

Damn Jason, that's one of the worst lag spikes I've ever heard of.

[@DEEEEEBOOOO]

no one : Rob : Tidbits (everyone liked that)

[@evanhuff682]

That boat guy didn't "free" Proteus. The energy dampening cell he was in got damaged during a battle with Magneto. IIRC it was when Eric the Red showed up to re-age Magneto, who at the time was physically a baby. This was issue 104. His body provided Proteus with a shell. Later in issue 112, Magneto would put the Xmen into power dampeners that kept the Xmen at a child like level. This was payback for him being a child, and where Nanny first appeared.

[@miamimagicians]

Man so much of this was in the animated series he did a really good job

[@braveconcepts]

This is an example of a WORLD CLASS storyline and masterful character development... ...and how Hollywood studios always choose to turn sugar into excrement. They just can't help themselves from changing gold into dung.

Every time I click one of Robs videos I wonder how Avengers and New Avengers is going to be brought up 😂😂 Jk I love all your videos Rob

[@jiggygrand]

I remember a panel in the books where Jason Wingard is smoking a cigarette outside and a car's headlights shine on him but the shadow that's cast is different because it is his true form!! Secrets like that was why John Byrne was my favorite comic artist in the mid 80's. That was Classic.

[@WickedClownCarnival]

YAAAASSS!!!

This is going to be way better than the movie will be.
