[@samer6737]

Imagine Moon Knight, Ghost Rider, Blade and Agent Venom getting their own Netflix shows

[@mannyfresh03]

Samer Naji gg

[@samer6737]

Moon Knight is one of the darkest heroes in the Marvel Universe and is a very interesting character. Blade is a big character in the marvel universe aswell and allows Netflix to use vampires aswell. Its about time to see blade back on screen.

[@fissilewhistle]

I’d binge the fuck out of a Moon Knight show.

[@milesmorales6305]

Unfortunately we won’t get a agent venom show

[@jabrilwhite]

DDLCIFPMKGRB used

[@rabbittz8062]

Hulk= The land Namor= The sea Doctor Strange = The Mystical. realms of the MU Silver surfer = cosmic and space

[@diegoperez726]

Defenders should make a cameo on Infinity War

[@david-nd7yh]

Diegoeduardo PR I think they should definitely reference them at the very least

[@qxraxx9007]

MALVINDINHO yes all the superheroes will team up to defeat a being named thanos. The movie will have two parts.the 1st part will be based on thanos collecting the infinity gems to take down the avengers and other people, and the second part will be based on the avengers and other people taking down thanos. Someone might die though

[@maugdw]

Savitar God of Speed 1. It's not a second part. 2. We don't know the plot of Avengers 4.

[@bringgroy3518]

Diegoeduardo PR I wish, but for legal reasons, they can't appear, but I would love a reference

[@SonicLuigiFan5819]

Shyguy Gamer It's the same universe they could appear

[@antony3877]

Can't wait for this show! Netflix hasn't disapointed yet

[@ll7868]

When I was 6 years in in 1976 I had my appendix removed and had to stay in the hospital for a few days and my dad brought me a bunch of comic books he bought at a corner store, among them were The Defenders #34, it featured the 1st appearance of Nebulon The Celestial. Doctor Strange #12 & 13, DC Superstars feat. The Flash and a few others. Those dozen or so comics changed my life. Star Wars also started it's 1st run in 1976 and I was a huge Star Wars fan right from the start. 47 years old now and I still feckin' love comics and Star Wars...except that prequel bullshit.

[@ll7868]

I also have that 1st issue of the Secret Defenders. #Memberberries

[@MegaJburd]

To be honest can we just call the Netflix Defender what it is, the Marvel Knights.

[@oddballskull1941]

John Burden it's bearly even that..just make a new name all together

[@GhGh-bv6lm]

Daredevil has to fucking be in infinity war. Just has to

[@prayeveryday4262]

Gh Gh oh shit at least make an appearance plzzzz

[@sabilsadat]

It's not gonna happen

[@GhGh-bv6lm]

Bruce LeeVsWalking Dead why not

[@sebastianmaregatti]

I know everyone says this but I find it the best way:While the Avengers are going up against Thanos the Defenders are back in New York protecting bystanders from the children of thanos or another chitauri army.Then in part 2 Tony says they need more help so Peter mentions that he's teamed up with someone in Hell's Kitchen so he brings him along

[@sabilsadat]

Gh Gh There's a lot of trouble between Marvel TV and the movies, mainly schedule conflicts, tone of the content and planning. So if we're like really, really lucky, we might see DD in Avengers 5 probably. I highly doubt it will happen in Infinity War.

[@ianmcmahon793]

Anyone going to binge watch the defenders on Friday?

[@malcomhoover6329]

ian mcmahon hell yeah you already know I'm having some snacks with me too

[@ruby_gaming8825]

[@ianmcmahon793]

[@williamvouk2911]

I love the new cutaways! Keep em coming!

[@PetarNNenkovski]

Awesome episode. I didn't know that The Defenders had that complicated history!

[@rreed8538]

I think Defender's show is good I just don't think Daredevil looks right with them cause there just wearing street clothes and he has a full suit

[@thexman6138]

Adam Taurus who knows the might

[@siraxie4331]

Adam Taurus it dosn't matter he cant tell

[@zxz5754]

Iron fist should get his suit end of season 2

[@milesmorales6305]

[@blazefirefox5682]

[@david-nd7yh]

[@AifDaimon]

RedHood 759 yeah, he's sadly underrated despite showing up & playing a big role in the Justice League Dark animated film earlier this year

[@darkstardarin]

Even better, Swamp *and* Man Thing.

[@quadrant7493]

[@devin_so_devious]

The ad service at the end 😁😂😂😂

[@generaybould9265]

Can you make a History of Equinox episode or at lest a one shot? He seems super cool and I'd love to know more about him!

[@dreezy9661]

Do a history of namor please, keep doing what you do man, you make a serious positive impact, good job

[@rio23xh89]

I like the new addition adding lil funny clips

[@misternobody5600]

Great job mate

[@byronturner597]

You should do a Top 10 episode for heroes that have never been on the Justice League/Avengers.

[@wowisntitanamazinglyamazin9550]

Red Tornado 🤢

[@ChainberTV]

I would love to see variant do a history of Songbird

[@elsew0rld]

Would love to hear your review on the first issue and preludes to the Dark Days/Dark Nights comics

[@ahshshshdjsjnabsbab7698]

Sup Arris I have been wondering if you could make the history of the X-Force

[@milesmorales6305]

Hayden TPR no a history of x-men then an alternate versions of x-men

[@tobequitefranco]

Are you going to do a History of Inhuman royal family and Runaways before their shows premier this fall? Runaways are my favorite, and your History Of videos are my favorite! I'd love to see them.

[@dinodonny2010]

I did notice that they re-purposed the Defenders as a street level team, just like they did with the Champions. What I mean by that is Champions is the new young hero team instead of calling them Young Avengers.

[@devian2364]

Arris' commercials are the best

[@viljamivenemies7820]

Awesome new intro!!!!!

[@kelionpro9612]

History is totally awesome

[@erickchablay2277]

[@kidomega1321]

With the power of editing!!!!!

[@jambudvipi]

I like this team of unique heroes

[@spidermanfanboy7714]

The people who only know the defenders because of the Netflix show and think that it started with daredevil, Jessica Jones,Luke cage and iron fist are gonna be so confused!!😂😂😂

[@otsircinaiselgi]

But one of them is blind

[@andrewseeley8524]

How can you not mention Hulk's obsession with beans in the original series - so funny! ;) #Defenders #Variant

[@Derrough48]

Yo arris you should do a history of blade, I need those reading recommendations bro

[@ritakauldav]

[@jahiemyoung754]

[@dragonlord964]

I like it when you do when you do your own advertisements

[@capicornboss]

Love the music!! Lol

[@blistershow]

When are you gonna do Alternative versions of the Fantastic Four Video?

[@uknwtheusername]

What do you guys think of a Doctor Strange cameo in the Defenders Netflix series?

[@mangonectar8117]

UknowmeimGui impossible

[@professorcomics2736]

I think everyone is always happy to see Strange, but it makes sense for him not to unless it's for recruiting them for Infinity War, which they are more likely not to. The Hand is more supernatural which would fit his bill, but they want to have them do it themselves I think to show their effectiveness together, so from a writing standpoint the cameo would be something at the end where he recruits them. From a practical standpoint, I don't think he will at all.

[@toshvtosh5469]

+Mango Nectar how is it impossible?

[@BustinOnYou247]

UknowmeimGui Wait when did this happen

[@ruby_gaming8825]

I would like it but marvel wouldn't allow it

[@rogueguardian]

I'm so excited for the defenders!!!!!!

[@raphaelandrews3617]

I was a Defenders/ Sub-Mariner/ Doc Strange collector from the 1970s. I collected nearly 400 comics. until a parent decided to clear out my room threw them away( I managed to save the Sliver Surfer and Ghost Rider from the bin men but nothing else. so I used to own a SS no1-5 and GR 1-10 worth about £350-400)

[@c0oltransiti0n]

You guys should do a history of the bat family

[@elotostil7116]

by the way who is that person who said "what eye , the beeeep eye"? I like that statement.

[@TheProse15]

[@darthneo2188]

[@aryankuka2440]

Do a history of the howling commandos

[@theshowdown9355]

Owh shit, where can I find that thumbnail? It's fire 🔥

[@whomee2]

Thank you so much for pronouncing Dormammu's name correctly!!

[@youcantbeatk7006]

The ad never gets old.

[@taylorpattison2733]

You should do History of Black Manta!

[@jasonbean7296]

Dr. Strange needs to hook up with the tv defenders. 1) he's not doing much. 2) they could use his help. 3) he's a founding member of the original team. Get cumberbatch on the horn, stroke him a check and let's get going. Can you imagine the ratings boost?:)

[@tthach94]

You should do a Heroes for Hire history too.

[@ydr4847]

Finally the defenders yess!!

[@Blacktears999]

[@barrybend7189]

Can you do a video on Alita from battle angel Alita/GUNNM.

[@captainimagination1110]

VariantComics can you do a history of Doctor Doom.

[@professorcomics2736]

To be honest, I have read a handful of Defenders issues and they involved Nighthawk, Hellcat and Valkyrie. There were of course other members, but I think of them as big members and they do have a little more consistency than certain members. Strange, Iron Fist, Hulk and Silver Surfer are the most consistent members but I like Hulk more when he is not a member of the team and he even walked away from the Avengers early on. It's also just hard to consistently have him on the team as well, or any team. It would be cool if the 3 characters I mentioned could get together and appear in the background somewhere or even in a book, such as Doctor Strange. It would be cool if there was a story arc in Jason Aarons's Dr. Strange titles where he needs help from them to do that and they are given the chance to appear. That being said, I am really interested to reading Bendis Defenders that is the Netflix team since they say it is good and I like those characters, the latter being the prime reasons why I would read it.I could see them giving the title some significance in the Netflix series since they are defending their home, which is a nice reason for a team name, and still makes sense for the comic as well.

[@milesmorales2106]
