[@KingInfernagon]

@@RamsTheNameCom lol compare that to Ultimatum, it makes Moonknight the best thing compared to it

[@RamsTheNameCom]

@@KingInfernagon Every issue of Moon Knight after the Ultimate comics felt like it was from the Ultimatum comics (hyper violent for no reason, the characters are written wrong, deaths for no reason and with no impact, etc). The difference is since not too many people know Moon Knight well, anyone's first introduction to Moon Knight from the new comics will lead to them loving the character just fine. Just like if someone who never heard of any Marvel superhero before had their first introduction to them from Ultimatum comics, they'd like those Marvel superheroes just fine. Because they don't no any better.

[@harrissyed1417]

The white Nick Fury was historically the most popular depiction of him in the 1990s and most of the 2000s there was even a live-action TV movie in 1998 starring David Hasselhoff. The black Ultimate Marvel Nick Fury based off Samuel L. Jackson became really popular in the latter part of the 2000s and 2010s to the point the main continuity would have its own version of him. Nowadays, not many people know about the classic white Nick Fury as his black Ultimate Marvel counterpart has overshadowed a lot.

I really hope they bring back the OG Nick Fury. Honestly I think what they did with him was...weird. Like, making him the unseen was pretty cool. He was out killing old gods and keeping the earth safe I just think more interesting stories can be told with him now if he's brought back. I can imagine Nick Fury Jr chasing Nick Fury Sr around, do some cool spy stuff

[@eddieguererro46]

Funny enough, as the Unseen, Nick Fury can see the future, the past, alternate timelines/possibilities and all possible outcomes of events. For the ultimate spy in history, thats OP. So if he ever comes back, imagine what he would be capable. The Watchers did not think that punishment through lmao

[@gorillaguy5664]

For some reason,I always thought MCU Fury was Nick Fury Junior,based off the fact that he mentioned his "grand-daddy" (which I thought was his way of saying his Father). He said that his grand-daddy was strict,cautious,and never trusted people,as he says he always had a gun in his Lunch Bag,and if anyone ever asked about it too much he would show what was in the bag he would immediately assume they were untrustworthy and blow their brains. And if you knew a secret,cult-like organization that would fit in that timeline,you wouldn't trust anyone wh could be an assassin.

NOPE, wrong universe Fury, supposed to be The 616 (the white one) version first, then after the snap, intro the 1610 (the Samuel L. Jackson lookalike) version, would have made alot of old and new fans happy, with the representation of both versions.

[@johnrichmond5342]

Damn you beat me to it. Good deep dive. I was actually putting together a piece for N Fury. I would do a part two cuz the history of SHIELD is a big part of his history. SHIELD has gone by 3 different meanings with the same acronym. I think the 3rd is the one we know of today being made fun of in the 1st IronMan film. Also from what I have found he is not totally blind in the patch covered eye but has lost 95% of his vision. It is important to note this has not hindered his combat skill or effectiveness. Also begs the question why he has not gotten it repaired with having such techno advance friends and superheroes like Tony Stark and Reed Richard's. I have only read Nick Fury Agent of SHIELD but other than his missions through out we start by seeing Nick F train in an what I can only describe as almost "Danger Room" type of simulation and still ask for an increase in difficulty level! So I would not mess with this pirate. He will also abviouly forgo the eye patch in disguise when performing espionage type missions.

[@johnrichmond5342]

It is also important to note that the MCU version is not the only one to hit the big if you think of it as big screen but David Hasselhoff took on the role in 1998 called Nick Fury Agent Of SHIELD. Have not seen it but it seems to cover the fall of SHIELD do to the LMD event where it was revealed that Hydra really created and in control of the first SHIELD the hole time.

[@speedracer1945]

I'm a fan of the original Fury but this host only gave a small third of this video toward him and didn't even get into how the comics gave this character its life . Yeah he was Sgt. Fury during WW-2 that was outstanding during the early 60's then in the mid 60's with the Bond craze going on Kirby created him becoming head of SHIELD . These comics were very cool as into the first run Steranko took over and drew some marvelous art that many still copy and many collect . This host spent most of the video toward his favorite , Jacksons version . I enjoyed Jacksons cinematic version of Fury and have no complaints

[@simplysteve68]

Thumbs up for the og, but down for the use of the later version in the MCU.

[@thomasmagaha280]

I think that the Nick Fury Jr story is way better than the 2001 adaptation that was based on Samuel L Jackson. The story still holds up and would easily make a transition into Sam playing Nick Fury

[@theoconstantinou2839]

Love this. I have to say I think the original version is the Fury is the best. If it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it.

Based on the MCU movie, Captain Marvel, Nick Fury stated that he was from Huntsville Alabama, but didn’t remember too much.

Okay, now that we're done with that, here's the real history of Samuel Jackson as Nick Fury and it starts with Ultimate Captain America. The original character design for Ultimate Cap was supposed to be African-American but this caused such an uproar in the comic book community that they cancelled that idea and decided to split the difference and make Nick Fury black instead. Of course the irony of that is black Nick Fury and Miles Morales are two of the few Ultimate characters if any more that survived and made it to present Marvel continuity.
