Marvel Comics: Cable Explained | Comics Explained

[@BuxiArtist]

I remember when you used to do them scripted and since you've made the transition, it comes off so much better and your knowledge is on point! 👊🏾

[@ift7797]

Buxi I tho

[@charliedurham8769]

Buxi you can CLEARLY see him constantly glancing at a script of some form.

[@BuxiArtist]

No I can't see him glancing and even if that is the case I'm pretty sure it's a guide. Practice makes improvement and robs come a long way. Bet your bottom dollar he can spitball on any given day providing references, citations etc. I've seen Rob plenty of times on Periscope talking to his audience without guiding tools presenting them to the same high standard of these videos. Pointing that out does absolutely nothing to his credibility.

[@charliedurham8769]

Buxi guide script whatever.. I don't like being lied to or taken as a fool when it's clear.

[@BuxiArtist]

Charlie Durham 1 you have no proof! 2 you don't have to watch his channel...

[@Jamerton1]

Dude. I have been devouring your videos and had no idea you were not scripting these. Your knowledge about Comics is incredible. Thanks for sharing these stories

[@J2ojuiced95]

Cable has probably one of the most overcomplicated backgrounds in Marvel comics.

[@sightseeing7993]

Hey, that's what happens when you get Liefeld on there. Bad 90s stuff. Also feet

[@jakesmith6859]

Read chronologically. It clears out in no time i swear to god

[@BlackLotus30]

You clearly never seen Selene if you this Cable origin is over complicated.

[@scinnyc]

Liefield didn't even make Cable's origin. When Liefield first introduced Cable, he was a mystery man for a couple years. Other writers afterwards fleshed out his origins and made him more interesting and complex. Cable actually has one of the best origins in comics and his existence is linked to several other prominent characters.

[@patrulhadomultiverso5562]

Overcomplicated background? *Psylocke entered the chat*

[@hoganshairline4175]

TLDW: He's cyclops son from the future and he, magneto, storm, and sentinel are all top tier MvC2 picks.

[@tonyoneal2279]

Rob!!! Cable is one of my favorite characters all time!! You crushed this video especially for no script. Great content!!

[@DarkDevildog]

I enjoy your unscripted channel because it feels like we're having a conversation instead of being 'told something'. Keep it up Rob!

This is a great added format for your channel. I enjoy the face time, feels more relaxed and friendly. A nice change of pace.

[@DansPiratelife]

Never script your videos, Rob. Your channel is unique

[@DaellusKnights]

For the past two or three weeks I've been bingeing literally dozens of your videos every since I found this channel. Surprisingly out of all of that this is the first time I've seen you in front of the camera. It's pretty cool to finally have a face to go with the voice (I thought you'd be older! 😳 🤣)... Nice to finally *meet* you bro! I'm loving the content so very many muches! Peace and love bro! 😁👍

[@ladiiwiz4424]

Rob, I feel like you give the most in-depth knowledge on marvel comics and the MCU. Keep it coming. I need something new from you, maybe a shuri/iron man avengers 4 theories...i love when you give your theories because it sounds almost right from the scripts lol

[@nomoontk9357]

Been watching your channel for awhile now, I like how you’ve gradually updated the style of your channel without it coming off as a complete reboot, very marvel of you lol

[@KuroeNezumi]

Last thing I knew about Cable was him being targeted by Deadpool after Strife starting using the favors he had after saving Deadpool's daughter and the family that had adopted her, with him escaping after a failed attempt at taking Strife's life.

[@mikem2114]

No scripts needed, you're doing great! Love this channel.

[@williamlazenby314]

I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. They are very insightful and well researched. I have become caught up with the day to day grind for the past 10 years and haven't picked up a comic book in quite a while. This video showed me how much I have missed out on the characters I grew up with and have loved. I need to catch up! It's time to "marathon" some comic books! Thanks for the inspiration to get back to the characters I didn't realize I missed and loved so much!

[@guitarboy781]

Just wanted to say you're the main reason I've started getting into comics and watching your videos have been there for me for a long time now :) keep it up bro :)

[@Sevenigma777]

The way you do your videos now are way better then some of your earlier work. You used to repeat the same lines like "what we see here..." OMG that used to be so annoying but now your channel is one of my favs and i love your work man keep up the good job.

Thanks guys, I liked the original comment but your two responses made it GREAT. Lol

[@stevenc.c4138]

You are the first station i subscribed to and Still my Favorite. My favorite part of your production is the fact that you include involved material. Pics from the tales your telling. Clips and fragments from the comix. Thanx for doin what you Do

[@thumper_evans]

I absolutely love your videos unscripted you have so much comic history in your head and it comes out in a funny random way. You get the point across keep it up man.

[@LawrenceKassab]

Keep freestyling Rob, love your channel

[@YeOldeParanormal]

Wow your knowledge is incredible, the fact these videos are unscripted, I take my hat off to you. Absolutely awesome.

[@ngametuatuaputa1404]

I love how you go unscripted, it shows how much insight you have and how much you love comics, if I hadn’t found this video I wouldn’t have known most of them were unscripted! You’re a legend man 💯

[@buttersstotch2014]

You don’t need to script anything because you’re obviously so passionate about what you’re talking about, it’s genuinely great to listen to

[@wraithofwrite9744]

13:26 Huh, seems like Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds were meant to be

[@theramplocal]

44 years old, I used to collect comics in the 80s -90s. Recently just got back into it. Thank you so much for the video. Cable was always an awesome character. Subbed man! Hey also nice hat, we suck this year lol hopefully we can turn it around

[@kingjaylen9712]

Cable is the son of Batman born in the year 2099 after the Skrull War crisis on Infinite Battleworld. There

[@nightviewstudio1185]

King Jaylen your the worst kinda person 😂

[@sketch-eee4165]

King Jaylen He is also the ilegitimate son of DIO Brando before he got his head cutoff. He sent his sperm into the future impregnating Batman's wife with the early stages of the power of The World. So in turn Cable's y chromosomes belongs in the past while his x chromosome's from the future. And he got Death's phone number 'cause why not doot Thanos' spoopy sweety.

[@nightviewstudio1185]

Saúl Ortiz Rivera never mind YOUR the worst kinda person

[@XRAYJ1992]

You forgot that he was born in Wakanda! Brah! Come on.

[@cecilianewburn5180]

seems legit...

[@christopherwright6208]

I love the way you do your videos right off the top of your head and it shows your passion that you have for comics. I learned a lot watching your videos so keep up the good work man

[@pamelus6479]

I like the way you do it. that's what set you apart from everyone else. you are the encyclopedia of comic book knowledge 😂😂

[@edwardfequiere5774]

Saw it yesterday at the red carpet screening. Way better then the first one. The Easter eggs are phenomenal, and the 4th wall jokes were on point. A must see.

[@abrahamderas8779]

Yeah definitely exited to learn more on cable, been looking forward to Deadpool 2 💯💯💯✌🏻 keep up the great work, love your content and channel. New sub forsure. 😇

[@lmva]

i was actually surprised when you said you were not scripting your videos, it really shows how much you know about this stuff. impressive!

[@juicyjimbo8482]

I know this is an old comment but I can’t begin to thank u guys enough for all of the content, specifically u rob. U are absolutely amazing my friend

[@callitwhatyoumay]

ROB, thanks for all your super awesome explanation videos! You are by far the most knowledgeable comic book authority I have heard. And for your efforts, I have clicked on the ad videos that pop up on your videos, so you'll get paid more! Hahah. Seriously I do. Thanks again!

[@Thejericko17]

Never script your videos. You're awesome and have a great creative spirit. Keep doing you man.

[@funkdoctor9663]

love the channel and the format keep it up

[@rudyramzycomedy]

[@aaron8467]

Your voice is amazing and to focus it on how you do is truly awesome

[@loccaleus1]

dayum! Rob thank you. I lost touch with comics in 96 but I'm a big X anything fan. i learn a lot from your vids. i appreciate the time you put into them. thanx bro

[@RonAnton89]

I swear, Rob. You’re like the Neil deGrasse Tyson of comic books.

Neil deGrasse Tyson is the Rob of Astronomy

[@mcutimeline1117]

Great video! and continue with the ad lib format. Its quite impressive you are able to pull all this information off the top of your head.

[@carltonhale6877]

I have never read a single comic book but I know more than anyone I meet about comics because of you! Keep up the good work appreciate ya

[@thechosenofmystra9397]

I know you cannot possibly read all these but your videos are quite enjoyable.

[@LeoGangMonty]

This answered a couple of questions I've always wonder. Thanks rob

[@theonlymatthew.l]

Hey Rob can we get an Omega Level video on Rachel Summers (Phoenix 2) please.

[@DirtCheapFU]

Or a would-be Omega Levels, if they didnt get left behind or killed off. IE Generation X team

[@theonlymatthew.l]

Ian-Devon Lewis if you are going to use the criteria of a character never having been killed then you're going to have an awfully small list

[@DirtCheapFU]

they werent all killed off. Skin... who didnt definitely didnt have the making of an omega level unless he was a one piece character. Synch definitely did have the making of one. Someone who could synchronize with and/or shutdown abilities from close and long range. Jubilee's development was getting kinda up there in the dangerous zone. But she's now a vampire babysitter. M, who was like a female version of Gladiator who could have easily proved to be stronger if she wanted herself to be. New M was kind of a disappointed and definite downgrade in power level. Mondo(or better yet the self-made clone/spawn of Mondo), could have been Marvel's real counterpart to Swampthing. Husk was interesting. They were pushing her to being able to be able to copy anyone including their powers.

[@DirtCheapFU]

I just miss Generation X... such a miss opportunity for an underrated team led by someone who became one of the strongest telepaths.

[@theonlymatthew.l]

Ian-Devon Lewis my point is the reason you attempted to disqualify Rachel would disqualify 90% of the characters out there. Who hasn't died in comics at this point? And yes I was a fan of Generation X but I really don't see how dragging all of that into this discussion is remotely Germain

[@TonyTheTerrible]

Yeah go over his powers and who xman is. There's also a part in cable and deadpool where cable is at the height of his powers

[@brayavolovalentine5409]

Robb i love all of your videos!! i've been following your vids since the first days of your civl war playlist c: happy to see how much your channel has grown!

[@TheInquisitiveMug]

EXCELLENT recap Rob! And surprisingly concise considering the mess of backstory you had to untangle!

[@catladylivinginthewoods]

I love how informative these videos are.

[@segaboy16]

Your videos are still entertaining, and amazing as usual and I always learn something new for watching your videos

[@alzouk2]

This is the most comprehensive video on Cable Good Job Rob！

[@robertosuarez1247]

Dope breakdown. Had to hit the sub button, im pretty hyped on this channel.

[@MrOvadose101]

Great commentary. Helped me catch up from my reading of Cable early X-force days.

[@elvisthien459]

we all know why were here... XMEN IS BACK BABY!!!

[@arranaburden5667]

I love the bit at the beginning of your videos about making sure to hit the bell so we "never miss out on (your) sexy voice." Because you know, you're not wrong about that.

[@MrMalawk]

I'd love to see these people that down your video go ahead and make their own channels and try to explain the Origins of comic characters as good and quick as you do it, btw another great video

[@dlove3623]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but does anyone remember Tyler Dayspring aka Genesis? He was the adopted son of Cable and once tried bonding adamantium onto Wolverine, but failed (Wolverine 1st series #100.) Information on this character is hard to find unless a person really looks for it.

[@MrJetlifeallday]

I think this is the third and most successful attempt at explaining mutants post House of M, cheers Rob to another 4 years of your videos!

[@zacman2347]

Honestly I really prefer when the videos are part face cam and part comic panels. I like seeing Rob!😩

Can somebody help me answer this out of topic question? I wasnt sure where to ask so.. Why doesnt Tony Stark make a Iron Man armor made out of vibranium?

[@starforce1003]

I'm glad your videos aren't scripted. It feels more personal. Not in a weird way.

[@beau0117]

That was dope rob. Thanks brother man

[@slothstradamus89]

Honestly man, it had never even crossed my mind you go straight from the dome and don't use a set-in-stone script, bc honestly it's that good bro. It seems like it comes pretty natural, and you clearly have the knowledge on lock so it's no issue for you to just tackle a subject coherently. I feel like using a script would actuallu hurt your videos, bc your style is suited so well to freeform discussion. Ultimately, it all comes down to the individual. Some channels I watch clearly use set scripts (I mean where they don't seem to deviate AT ALL from what they've prepared) and it works for them. Some rely on scripts yet it just falls flat and is unrelentingly boring. Some content creators try to dive in and improvise, and it couldn't be more apparent they really NEED to use scripts lol. Your style & format works great, keep it up! 👍👍👍

[@DionB28]

You keep doing you buddy; your videos are amazing and unbelievably informative. Keep it up! But, remember your lint roller or lint brush! 😉👍🏾

[@cheesus4567]

Hey Rob gotta question, how many comics have you read, if you can give an estimate. Dude knows so much, thanks.

[@moonmonster3d]

Rob. I love you and your channel man. I need you to know this though, watching this video basically helped me create a new drinking game. 'Basically, it's like this', is simple, pick one of your videos and every time you say basically, we have to drink, basically the point is to get people incredibly intoxicated. Bonus drinks are consumed when you say 'basically' and 'it's like this' in the same sentence. I may end up using a version where some players are on team 'basically' and others are on team 'it's like this.' I don't drink anymore, but for this I might need to come out of retirement, basically for research purposes.

[@chrishensley2481]

Keep up the way you do it we LOVE it!!!

[@Brandon-vl4bk]

So Jean gets a pass for killing like an entire solar system as Dark Phoenix, but Scott gets permanently villified for killing Prof X as Dark Phoenix? 🤔

[@certifiedsliim]

As a long time subscriber I can say your unscripted content is way more entertaining. Your personality shines more. Your scripted videos are fine but can be flat at times since everything is so linear. Anyway love your stuff rob

[@abdielver69]

I enjoy the format of your videos! Why mess with it?🤔

[@paulroberts5234]

Wolverine, Cable, Domino are some of my favorite characters.

[@georgesanchez4075]

You should read Cable's current run, it's a fun read and imo gets *REALLY* good in issue 155

[@powpow50cal24]

my favorite character, very informative and cool video
