[@gerrellbynum3876]

I’ve been waiting for this explanation

[@John-py6ru]

I always thought the Beyonder looked like David Hasslehoff from Night Rider. More so than Travolta IMO.

[@PancakeDiaries]

Bruh, really tho

[@Moodymongul]

I believe The Hoff was the inspiration

[@Shugg-Goff-HHoffical]

Yep definitely. The Hoff all the way. Dico Hoff complete with Saturday Night Fever finger pointing battle action. 😊

[@Vamroc]

Thanos FINALLY comes to the realization that Mistress Death has been playing him for a fool and in Marvel's X saga Thanos uses the Ultimate Nullifier to kill her

[@JadeSentinel]

Great video!!! You should do a video on James Robinson’s Scarlet Witch run, focusing on the comic origins of the Witches Road

[@Nate-616]

Please do it!!

[@franciscoayala2348]

Dude, you gave me a big spoiler for the series and this has never happened on this channel before. Usually when you give up something reading comics or talking about the series I'm just like oh, I knew that I knew that today you spoiled it. I'm still here though. I still love you. I just didn't know

[@Xashi_Xouless]

yes, please do infinity watch.

[@ChikaraGaming]

11:18 now can we get John Travolta in the MCU as the OG Beyonder😂

[@MikeNoMichael]

Death on the Altar of Death is such an iconic site.

[@thedjbouc]

Take a shot every time Rob says "In ______ Comics"

[@____2080_____]

If anyone wants to get the best depiction of the concept of “Death” in Marvel comics, they simply have to go back to the old 1970s version of the Doctor Strange comic book drawn by the immortal Frank Brunner and written by Steve Gerber, I believe. He gave what I think they should’ve never let go in any depiction of that character. Death has existed for so long that it does not recognize any one individual. It does not know who Doctor Strange was. It would’ve taken the concept of Thanos courting her as more of his warped projection than it was anything that she existed as a structure at all. They would’ve made him to feel like a mad person rather than this character actually having any form (which throws out the nonsense of that Kranker comic about these abstract entities going to a “dimension of manifestation“ insanity. Then again, it’s those early concepts of characters like that, and eternity that made those characters, all powerful and incomprehensive, even to so-called classic Doctor Strange

[@20starcombomaker]

For all of Thanos's intelligence, it always baffled me that he never figured out that if he wanted Mistress Death, essentially being a postman that keeps bringing her mail isn't gonna work. And if you're the one writing her letters just so you have an excuse to bring it to her.. If you wanna be equal to death, become life dummy. You were able to absorb the 1 above all, the Phoenix force shouldn't be that difficult.. If you want death to chase and embrace you, you either gotta be perpetually on the verge of death but can't die (like idk, DEADPOOL) or like you told your futurewl self, you gotta die..

[@DarthSaggezza]

I think it’s the classic story where Love gets in the way. But you’re in love with somebody that blind you

[@poweroffriendship2.0]

Thanos' quest to collect all Infinity Stones got ultimately wasted when Deadpool steals his beloved Death. Let that sink in.

[@venomfan2020]

Thanos in the MCU: kinda has a point Thanos in the comics: biggest simp for a girl who hates him

[@venomfan2020]

Deadpool got super lucky tho, to smash with literal Death herself

[@twinflame2885]

@@venomfan2020thanos in the mcu does not have a point. Killing off half of life INCLUDING plants/animals defeats his ideology especially since plants and certain animals are a key source for a thriving planet. Also for corruption for example if you get rid of 1 corrupted person another will rise and so on. He could have expanded the planet(s) for more resources OR just make resources limitless. His solution was literally going to be a cycle of bullshit with no real resolution

[@tonycordero6105]

Saying “let that sink in” means you don’t actually have a point and are trying to sound profound when you’re really an idiot.

[@jerrybeichner]

I would appreciate if you kept up the coverage of Infinity Watch (2024). I think you're going to end up covering it eventually. They are building up to the Thanos with Mjolnir and all the Infinity Stones and the Black Death Stone. Unless they already did and I missed it.

[@MOHAMED7astanak]

So DEATH is basically ... a parasite!

[@thestarseeker8196]

“The same way the Living Tribunal you see running around right now is Adam Warlock from an alternate reality” Well……………TIL. 😳

[@UncannyEarl]

I remember when the beyonder hit her with his omnipotence that’s her main weakness…

[@UnwantedGhost1-anz25]

Mistress Death is kinda like Knull, wanting to end everything until there's nothing left in the Marvel Universe.

[@BigpopsMcGee]

MCU fans need to stop coming up with theories within the MCU because when it doesn’t happen they all cry about something that was never promised.

[@jaughnekow]

i think thanos is in love with the idea of death, maybe obsessed with it and mistress death is the idea he can get in touch with.

[@oldmangreywolf6892]

I love Mistress Death. She always smiles down on my meager soul. 😊

[@UltimateSpider1385]

Thanos searched the galaxy for the infinity stones and wiped out half of the universe for one reason. To please Mistress Death, but unfortunately, he just can't take a hint. Which is how relationships are these days. What is it with Women telling men they can't take a hint?

[@reality6442]

What is it with men being sex-pests who think they are entitled to women and take any interaction from women to them, especially basic kindness, as a romantic gesture? Men are the problem.

[@KryyssTV]

It would be interesting to have a connection between the Pheonix and Mistress Death if Marvel persued the idea of her realm being The White Hot Room. If you draw upon the notion of her being based upon the Grim Reaper then she is gathering the lifeforce of people who's physical bodies are now gone or beyond repair and like a cracked or destroy vessel of water that liquid has to go somewhere. If the Pheonix is the sum total of all life that can, has or currently exists then it would be where the water goes. Therefore Mistress Death and her varients could reasonably be the servant of the Pheonix Force that gather life to The White Hot Room which causes it to join with the Pheonix Force. This would also explain why Jean Grey enters the White Hot Room when she dies as it is the realm of Mistress Death and she experiences it differentky due to being a previous host of the Pheonix.

[@brkncntrlr1989]

you forgot one more person rob... Ben Riely, the 3rd one time love interest of mistress death lol

[@sapphirewolf713]

Could we get an Adam Warlock explained video?

[@juniornxumalo3225]

at this point , Aubry Plaza is playing Perpetua and also Abeloth 😭

I like the comic run where Thanos meets her as a child... She's a figment of his imagination in that story

Yes for infinity watch .

I remember buying the Contest of Champions series back in the early eighties. It was the most mind blowing marvel team up ever at the time. I discovered a few characters that I never knew existed. Thanks for bringing back some good childhood memories for me

[@raykdotcom]

Long time listener, first time caller 😉Quick question, will you cover "last remains"? I only really like your explanations, love your enthusiasm. I found issue 29th December 2022, only just read it, got no idea how it came into my possession, we call it the spooky comic, it literally appeared overnight at the bottom of a box from my mum's house, that was actually packed in 2021, I know from correspondents from my divorce. I haven't even heard of this story ark either

[@ajwilliams3423]

Yes please cover infinity watch. I gotta see who thanos was dissecting now.

[@o00o45]

Thanos needs to talk to Saturnyne about romantic pursuits. They’d get alongn

[@shreyanshdas7481]

Is mistress death beyond omega level?

[@BriannaMoore-h7l]

Such a talented creator, seriously!

[@MrMykeStrong]

Hey Rob! I have an idea. You know how you always say, "Bear with me while I explain this, yada yada yada!" Why don't you pre-record 5 min clips that can be linked to the video. You explain The Chaos Lords, Demiurge, Kree/Skrull War, Starbrand, Celestials and Mad Jim Jasper's almost weekly. I think it would benefit your old and new fans alike. Don't worry about thanking me....I'll take a Rob Corps ring on my way out!

[@Rouchruvis]

Look if Aubrey Plaza is Mistress Death in the MCU. Thanos I get it now

[@DaRealKINGKLIPS]

That Mistress Death is apparently a lesbian in love with Agatha 😂😂😂 no cool stories being brought to life there .

Dude, that was some crazy shit. You rock, Rob. Love from Brazil.

[@buckanderson3520]

Soooo, if you're too good of a warrior and no one can kill you in combat so you die of old age you go to hell but if you suck as a warrior and die in your first battle you go to Valhalla? Sure, that makes sense...lol 😂

[@ltericdavis2237]

Yeah, that’s old mythology for you. There are stories were Odin looked favorably on a warrior he like, so he made them trip in battle so they would lose and die. That way, they’d die in battle and join his army in Valhalla. Basically, it was a way of explaining why seemingly unstoppable men could be killed by a peasant with a pitchfork

[@bigjsomuchswag]

Rob you think the mcu could be leading into midnight suns? Would be a reason to cover the comics I'd be interested.

[@caleb_dreams]

The explainers are cool, thanks!

Here's a deep reference. Maybe Aubrey Plaza is playing Blackheart seeing as they have mentioned Mephisto, they are quite fitting given the scenario. Maybe the Man in the Library with the burned book was Mephisto setting Agatha down the road.

[@America-The-Great]

Great video ❤❤❤

Aubrey as death would be amazingggggg she was the best in legion

[@xKeyzerSoze]

Yes please cover the black infinity stone

[@TheBlueB0mber]

I am a *huge* fan of Aubrey Plaza from her Parks + Rec days. However I still think Morena Baccarin would be a far more interesting choice. Lady Death having Vanessa's face would set up so much for Deadpool in the future. It's pretty much a layup shot for conflict between Deadpool + Thanos.

[@RibbonPrincess56]

I'm also a huge fan and I got a bit disappointed with the reveal initially, I wish she was the first green witch or the enchantress... But honestly, the path they're taking in the show, her story with Agatha makes sense and is pretty interesting

[@ronniesanders8546]

I am very confused here. Death of Death. This whole story doesn't make any sense! My brain hurts. 😵‍💫🤨👀🤔🧐😲

[@emca1597]

The first time i heard of mistress death is through deadpool, french-kissing her, I think it was an animation on youtube back then, not sure if the vidoe's still around.

[@AMVH2012]

The thing with early Thanos was that it was never clear if Death was there or if it was just in his imagination. He is the Mad Titan because he is completely insane thinking he is doing Death's bidding, at least after helping Warlock defeat The Magus. It isn't until Thanos Quest that it is revealed that he actually is Death's champion, I could be forgetting a few things. I don't consider Thanos Rising to be canon. It totally ignores, or downplays, that he is an eternal and how he later empowered himself to enhance his natural abilities. I stick with the original where Thanos' mother dies in the bombardment of Titan.

[@Shugg-Goff-HHoffical]

Aubrey Plaza is an excellent choice should it come to pass.

[@c.h.5510]

I own the Thanos run and never read it.... 😂

[@MrOrcshaman]

Always preferred the Deadpool and Death dynamic, given how he wanted to be with her but never could, even Thanos being so bitter he ensured Deadpool would never die and be with Death.

[@Wildfire002]
