Why they did not put Japanese Spiderman in the Spiderverse flicks is something I can't understand. Who WOULDN'T want to see Leopardon kicking ass on screen?

[@chrisleebowers]

23:45 "The villain is a guy doing a Jim Carey impression" OK, but that's Max Headroom and Jim Carey's entire career is essentially a Max Headroom impression...

[@adambell9188]

I was about to post the same thing, Jim Carey was basically just doing Matt Frewer impression for most of his career lol

Somehow Blade feels completely out of place on this list, in fact I thought it was released after 2000. That movie is just too good. Anyway, you deserves more views dude, Great video!

[@AlexBoucher]

It's completely out of place because it has a budget of more then $20 lmao

[@TheMMMification]

lul that's an excellent way of putting it. It's crazy how much of the film footage in this video is so grainy, you can tell Marvel movies were not in a good place before 2000.

[@johnashton4776]

Fantastic video 👏🏿 documentary however The Punisher and Blade were the best as they were for mature audience, Blade saved Marvel Punisher had a great cast, yet a poor budget so bad the costume designer is the set designer, Hulk got better there were plans introduce Jennifer Walters in Hulk, not as a cousin the TV series had Banner sister i.e why She-Hulk was created. New World pictures a disaster due to chapter 11, all there TV shows suffered again great video thanks again.

He did a cameo for Guardians of the Galaxy vol 2 as well.

[@davidm4566]

It would have been epic and at least gotten a good laugh. The fans would have known it wasn't random, too.

There are still multiverse themed movies coming. Maybe he will.

[@donnae1899]

What About Leonardo DeCaprio As Spider Man?

[@JustSomeKittenwithaGun]

Why would he be alternate? The original Nick looks just like him. The one in MCU is his son.

[@b0n3s70]

I met Lou in real life at comic con and he is the sweetest guy ever. I talked to him for like 20 minutes just about his experiences and what he thought about about the new stuff he said he had ought most respect for the new stuff and I honestly had the most fun talking to him and he is just a kind soul.

[@Powerfull4u]

The Punisher movie wasn't a masterpiece by a long stretch, but Dolph Lundgren was great casting for the punisher. He had the physicality required for the role and I feel that his tired and expressionless look perfectly conveyed a dead inside death seeker.

[@torquetheprisoner]

wach it again and you will find somting out about his informant if you listen very carefully

[@JamesToupin]

The villain in Generation X was played by Matt Frewer (Max Headroom). He was doing Jim Carry long before Jim Carry.

[@bossfan49]

Totally. Matt briefly had a sitcom called "Doctor, Doctor". I thought he was funnny.

I'm watching this video and staring at the Captain America serial spine. When you finally pulled it out, it was confirmed: that's the replacement DVD cover I designed after being disappointed with the one that came with the (official?) release! So cool to see it out in the wild like that!

[@grantparks4266]

very goofy to see Matt Frewer as the villain in "Generation X" compared to jim carrey as Carrey sites Frewer (Max headroom) as one of his big inspirations :P

[@AlexBoucher]

That makes so much sense!! it's the exact same performance

[@YoshiCh1ef-je6me]

So Jim Carey is, cannonicaly, the main villain

[@InertiaCreeps]

But it shows your ignorance in making this video and claiming that Matt was imitating Jim. LEARN YOUR HISTORY!@@AlexBoucher

[@Enrique2DosSantos]

He didnt like Blade, that is enough for me not to trust him, his critique is valid but the sheer fun and coolnes factor of Blade started the modern superhero genre@@InertiaCreeps

[@BrutalCarnage]

i remember getting that 70s spider man on vhs as a kid and seeing live action spiderman for the first time. I was honestly amazed XDXD

[@marcboucher6151]

You distilled 19 movies into 48 minutes of enjoyment - well done! Very fun 😊

[@LUMBEEPHENOM2012]

Couldn’t agree more

[@Peved]

47:23 That's revisionist history and pure bias. Blade, X-Men, and Spider-Man, are the ones that got marvel movies back on track. And the incredible hulk series was extremely popular for a while and made a lot of people hulk fans

[@Paugose]

I live in Belgium, people still to this day think of Lou Ferrigno and Bill Bixby when you say "Hulk". When the MCU started, my mom knew Hulk, she told me "I loved the show they did in the 70's", and I watched it as a kid, too (my mom had a DVD of a few episodes). And I agree, the comic book films crazed's genesis is with Blade, Raimi's Spidey and Singer's X-Men.

[@justtalkstv]

Idk how blade is so low on the list based on your explanations of the other movies

[@nickamalfitano3613]

Rage bait or awful taste. I'd say rage bait.

[@gechoman44iwantahippo]

I watched Captain America and Captain America II: Death Too Soon as a kid. I don’t remember almost anything about them, but for some reason, I have a memory of them being the exact same movie with the only change being the opening titles having the title of Death Too Soon in it.

Cus money did go into it. It was actually. a pretty big hit

[@RiderXtreme1]

It only just made the list. It was like 1998 when there were more higher budgets

[@Enrique2DosSantos]

45 million budget was not low not high back then, tentpole movies where already over 100million, X-Men two years later had 75 million, and Spider Man had 140million as you can see Blade literally kickstarted the super-hero movie craze

@@AlexBoucher I haven't watched the full video as of yet, so I'm not sure if you mentioned this or not, but the Nicholas Hammond Spider-Man you watched, are you aware of the fact that, it's not just a trilogy of movies but it's actually a TV Show from the 70s? In fact, the "films" Deadly Dust and The Dragon's Challenge are actually just 2 part episodes combined to be a movie. The show was released on VHS back in the 90s. There's 2 seasons with Chinese Web/Dragon's Challenge being the ending.

this was genuinely probably my favorate youtube video ive seen in at least a year this was excellent thanks for such a cool video

[@WarriorSmurf]

The Spider-Man "films" were episode compilationsshown in movie theaters overseas (along with The Incredible Hulk). According to Reb Brown, CBS picked up Captain America for a six episode season. It was to crossover with both Spider-Man and Hulk shows somehow. CBS decided to cancel all of the superhero shows (except for the Hulk). Even thecSpidey and Hulk shows were supposed to crossover while both shows were on (another opportunity came up later but fell through thanks to Universal Studios coqk blocking because they weren't allowed the level of control that they wanted). It is saud tgat we would've seen a version of the black and white costume.

[@dudebrian]

Your channel is so seriously underrated, great stuff. Editing is so good

The thing about all previous Spider Man movies that producers failed to grasp was casting a Peter Parker that looked like a high school student and not a 33 year old.

[@torquetheprisoner]

it's ok many people including my self get them 2 mixed up aswell

[@andynystrom1519]

It's worth noting that on the Commentary track for the Incredible Hulk pilot, creator Kenneth Johnson gives a different reason for Bruce Banner being renamed David: because he had a son named David. Given that Stan Lee by his own admission had a notoriously bad memory and given that Johnson's info is more "from the horse's mouth" I'm inclined to believe the latter's account.

Not since Pixar’s Up had an opening scene give more emotional whiplash in the most gut-wrenching way. There was some legitimate filmmaking being done on that pilot, and I’m glad that it’s still recognized all these years later.

I'm going to be honest when I was mindlessly scrolling a few days ago to add things to my watch later playlist, I could've sworn I read this video had 1M views. When I finally got around to watching it just now, imagine my shock about halfway through the video when I realized what the view count was actually at! I was more than convinced I was watching a video deserving of 1M+ views. You make knock-out videos that go well beyond the accepted standard for most media review and commentary on youtube. Your efforts are realized and appreciated by me, and I hope you get some more subscribership soon, as you've proven to be a consistently great content creator that is worth subscribing to.

As someone who’s gone back to rewatch all MCU projects over the years, the whole concept of “declining quality” is bunk. The quality isn’t declining. The quality has always been inconsistent. The issue is that there’s a perception of there being “too much content to follow” and people are over it. They’re fatigued and they don’t want so much.
