Keep in mind. Molecule Man can do anything in the multiverse and he was still with Volcania who was thick. The man had taste!

[@JTtheMid]

This is my favourite marvel comic of all time. I love seeing the Beyonder try to figure out the meaning of life

[@venod3134]

Such a great story. I don't even need the action, this story is all time.

[@JTtheMid]

@@venod3134 Agreed. I need more stories like this. Stories that really massage my brain

[@victorfergn]

One thing that I realize is the fact he never tries to get a normal job.... hmm that might represent that the meaning of life has nothing to do with having a normal job :V

[@victorfergn]

@@venod3134 true, it's basically the opposite of Secret Wars I where it's a fight after fight after fight.

[@joehard3733]

What always tickled me about this series is that it contained neither secrets or a war. It should've been Marvel's "boisterous conflict"

[@versatilevibez1031]

Yea I’m watching this thinking yea this is a good story but it’s not really secret wars I’m pretty sure they used the title for marketing reasons

[@No_one_asked_you_what_u_think]

And the first one had what secrets? And what war? Heroes fighting villains? Ok neat. Heroes fighting Beyonder sounds like heroes fighting villain. See how it works?

[@meisteria1884]

Even in the 80s, we didn't like it. If you read some of the letters to the editor in the X-Men, I think there were some comments in there about how god-awful it was. But since he wasn't a "villain" at that time, I guess they wanted to give him a more superheroish costume.

[@jpetersgoyanks]

@@meisteria1884 what do you mean “we”? Let’s all speak for ourselves. X-Men costumes change all the time. I dig that.

@Dr Beyonder Rob LITERALLY asks for recommendations in his videos. Now why don't you take your bullshit attempt at being an internet hero, and shove it up your ass. After that, maybe then you can pay attention to rob's videos. Especially the portion where Rob asks for requests and recommendations.

[@ericsigil]

"Its like twitter, basicly!" OMG im dead 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@antwan1357]

The beyonder found love then rejects it. Thus the Beyonder doesn't understand until he is rejected. Kinda a strange thing ... if you are never rejected your definition of love becomes different.

[@iliagofman]

Love is a combination of things and different for various people, like feeling good together and doing things for each other, caring and helping each other

Really enjoyed this series. Can you also do the similar sounding Secret War event from the 2000's? I think you might enjoy some of Nick Fury's notes from that where he considers Punisher on par with the Hulk in terms of being a WMD.

[@McMahonHater]

Actually, technically Secret Wars II is far longer then 9 parts as it crossed over into pretty much every book in Marvel Comics. This would be a great multi volume TPB release if they put out everything. Issue 1+ x-overs, issue 2+ x-overs etc, etc...

[@stephaniemanchester-chermo3840]

I’ve got a Secret Wars ll omnibus that includes everything that you mentioned, it’s massive. I don’t know when it actually came out because I just got it used. It’s not cheap.

[@McMahonHater]

@@stephaniemanchester-chermo3840 I am not surprised. They should have put it out in 9 volumes.

[@toomanyoldsports]

It’s spans like 42 issues in total I think?? Absolutely insane.

[@timriggins6678]

What was also funny was when the New Universe comics came out many fans thought that this was universe that was created at the end of Secret Wars II. But the editors nixed that idea pretty quickly.

[@jlgspaz13]

SHUSH! Do not give Marvel any ideas. They make a "Hero" (Really a Villain) into literally a person that has the power to win any Twitter Debate by killing people through Twitter.....I need to shut up. I made it worse.

[@Qardo]

@Robert Smith Did you miss the debacle that was the Marvel's New Warriors? Marvel would do it.

[@MarcusH]

Well, one thing to remember, too, is that the Beyond Universe, when MM dumped Beyonder's power into it is (at least originally) what became the New Universe, and another vehicle for Marvel to create a bunch of new comics and characters that could exist without interfering in the slightest with their existing heroes.

[@TalesFromTheBooth]

This story deep AF! 💯🧐

[@venod3134]

Man I'm too far behind on reading these comics (my brother who is 10 years older born in the mid 70s was a CBG big time and he may still be we dont talk as much. But i mean OG Comic lover all the trading cards, literally hundreds of thousands of books, those big white boxes all over the house lol)... Anyhow he gave me a base but i never read the books. So sad he never let me. But now catching up on this and WOW the best stories of all time IMO.🦾🖤

[@sharadasahoo1594]

Is Molecule man like one across multiverse? I remember in the new secret wars, there are more than one. But Beyonder is one across Multiverse. So, that tells Beyonder has to be more powerful than MM.

[@sethleoric2598]

Molecule Man has multiple versions across the Multiverse but they are basically all the exact same

[@OllieByGolly]

"It's Alpha Flight. Who cares?" Apparently a LOT of people did. The series lasted 130 issues... longer than "beloved" series Ghost Rider, Moon Knight Power Man & Iron Fist, Master of Kung Fu, Captain Marvel and Spider-Woman.

[@bobisconsumed520]

Secret Wars 2 is one of the best comic events... Change my mind!

[@bobisconsumed520]

DA but SW 2 featured a unique structure even unique to this day. Instead of typical event where bug threat attacks, all heroes unite, threat becomes more powerful, heroes defeat threat, SW 2 was about the threat itself exploring what it meant to be mortal and all the heroes were nothing more than nats to it. Although first half of SW 2 was boring, second half was some of the best writing for overpowered characters.

[@BeyonderGod]
