Marvel’s new cosmic hierarchy

So after so many requests, we're finally covering Defenders Beyond which has one of the most overpowered teams in Marvel Comics including none other than Loki, God of Stories! When Doctor Strange sends a dire warning from beyond the grave, Blue Marvel, America Chavez, Taaia (Galactus' mom!), Tigra, and Loki assemble to defend reality itself!
▸ The Defenders are a set of superhero groups with rotating membership appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Its original incarnation was led by Doctor Strange and included Hulk, Namor, and-eventually-Silver Surfer. They are usually presented as a "non-team" of individualistic "outsiders" who, in their prior adventures, are known for following their own agendas. The team often battles mystic and supernatural threats.

[@dajuice4200]

Uhh, Beyond amazing. Great job, Rob. I enjoy these longer videos.

[@MrConap31]

I believe what the beyonder was saying, was within the context of being within a script, and then being placed within the white hot room, and then being forced to go against the Phoenix force pure, that basically the game is rigged against him. I believe to a certain degree, that is how I interpreted it anyhow. I don't think Just the raw phoenix force vs the beyonder in normal context in the main marvel universe that the Phoenix stands a chance. But given the beyonders now see they are at the whim of the narrator loki, that the game is stacked against them Now I'm not the best at reading comprehension. I read a book and go brain dead and forget every word. So if I did miss something and I am way off, please don't be too harsh on me

[@preretconbeyonder5439]

In my opinion, you are correct.

[@resulnaki]

Phoenix trumps the beyonder anywhere, anytime

[@MrConap31]

@@resulnaki your crazy lol friggin iron man managed to blow the Phoenix into pieces. Before that Thor was able to slow it down, so we're a few others who were with him taking turns to try and stop it. The beyonder can snap his fingers and make the Phoenix disappear. That is the extent of his power. The Phoenix is like an unlimited source of energy. What could it do to the beyonder?? It couldn't even scratch him in a normal continuity marvel universe setting. Or you could say how many times has the Phoenix been beat? A couple? I consider iron man beating it. How many times has the beyonder? None. 0. Not in a fight. Hell he hasn't even shown he can be touched, let alone beat

[@bkj427dvl]

I have a theory with pheonix vs. beyonder. Al Ewings verbiage is intentful. The beyonder stated "in the white hot room," so by extrapolation in the beyond, beyonder wins in the white hot pheonix wins. How they get there is the narrative

[@edgargalicia5071]

The Beyonder would only defeat simple avatars that are not Jean gray, because no matter how much he defeats the phoenixes of the multiverse, they are always reborn, he would have to face the TF Fenix ​​and he would not have chance

[@warley.s2240]

​@@edgargalicia5071no

[@Awesomeboyscout]

The Beyonder and the White Hot Room are the embodiment of TOAA if you can recall #5 issue. The whole cosmic heavens created by Ewing is an allusion to the Kaballah. If you know some esoteric stuff or allegories, then obviously the PF/WHR wins by default (not including the transcendent true phoenix) The Penis gets hard because the heart pumps blood. The Moon shines bec of the Sun Planets revolve around the Sun. It's Tiferet, the alpha and omega where physical universe merges (Malkuth, Yesod) with the domains of Spirit and Imagination (Daat, Keter). Thats just some of the things about phoenix-beyonder relationship

[@Theurbannerdneoh]

Pure phoenix wins. She represents the life of what was, is, and going to be which includes the creation of the beyonders

[@deathstrikegamer7116]

Here's a weird one for you I have heard they were looking at shamier Anderson to play Blue marvel in the live action film. Here's the funny part. He stared in a movie in 2021 called Stowaway. The name of the vessel he was in was called..... The Hyperion

[@Awesomeboyscout]

44:03 Phoenix being Tiferet, Chesed, and Gevurah all once. (Not including the true phoenix transcendent to the Crown)

[@pacifistattack]

The crown reminded me of Nemesis. Nemesis was the seventh infinity gem and the intelligence that unified them the way they were intended to be. Originally written for an Avengers and Ultraforce crossover in 1995 I think. In that mini series she wanted to erase real;ity and create a new one. So that would line up with thius story, enemy of eternity. If written properly it would fit in perfectly. But I'm usually wrong about these things, so I'll just wait and see (and hope).

[@Daniel-ew5qf]

The Kabbalah term "Kether", which was introduced in this story as a different name for the House of Ideas, means "Crown" in Hebrew. I'm assuming it has to do with what Kether symbolizes within Kabbalah mysticism / Tree of life-which includes things such as "the will of the creator", "superconscious realm of experience", etc etc.

[@wilfredquinon6058]

I believe it was said correctly at first, the Phoenix force is so powerful, that Jean Grey could host it. So yes, the Phoenix force is so powerful that not even Blue Marvel could defeat Phoenix force. Because, the Phoenix force would be reborn. I think Phoenix force would be on par with other gods especially Chthon, ie the Scarlet Witch.

[@Awesomeboyscout]

What are you saying? Phoenix Force is a universal constant that existed before the creation of Marvel. You may need to get accustomed to reading comics. Jean Grey is a very special figure in Marvel Continuity and writers have trouble what stories would fit her since they don't want her beyond the Event Horizon, they just love conflating judeo-christian imagery with her and the Phoenix Force. Post claremont writing has sucked and everyone can be Phoenix now and everything is an anti-thesis to it but that trend is hopefully going to change. If you get to familiarize with the White Phoenix of the Crown, which is an ascended state, you'll be surprised that she is God herself. Read more, it helps 👍

[@dwayneadamsii4602]

Ok so for the Phoenix v beyonder question. It's circumstantial. The biggest factor is setting. Purely by feat and status most occasions it goes to beyonder. However as beyonder states himself if in say, the white hot room, he'd probably lose, vs being in the beyond realm he'd probably win. It's essentially "home field advantage. The other would be fighting their opponent inside their opponent and thusly lowered in power by nature of that realm and that doesn't always define a winner with lesser realms like mephisto, mammu, or shuma but the beyonder realm and the white hotel room are realms beyond the marvel multiverse in itself. The reason given for beyonder losing so much of his power was quite literally entering the marvel multivers and thusly being confined by it, here he is confined by lokis meta narrative abilities and in on course for an arc by his choice of chasing them.

[@lazyemo5089]

[@____2080_____]

42:32 as much as we appreciate Ewing for his immortal hulk, his lack of understanding of physics played itself out in this McGuffin of ridiculousness when he made the whole weak due to cosmic energy. The point being made here that the Phoenix can’t wipe away the Blue Marvel because the phoenix power is “positive energy“ based is full of it. The beyond or would wipe him away and beyond, or is beyond those particular concepts. Beyond positive or negative in all we’re doing is creating fodder for the next quality writer, after this age of marvel comics to come in and clean up all of this excrement of illogic.

[@strikermodel]

I agree. Blue Marvel wields a natural form of energy, but that shouldn't even touch the power of aspects of existence. Any aspect of existence could simply will him away. Don't even get me started on the Lion girl's God even scratching the pheonix force. Literally every Marvel deity is a subsect of her. This story was very visually cool, but it's messy and full of issues.

[@Awesomeboyscout]

The Phoenix Force is simply playing with them, she cannot hurt her creations as she is the embodiment of Love. What amuses me is that all other godhood aspects (ie. Da'at, Yesod, Keter) attributed the WHR/Tiphareth surprisingly. Beyonder admitted his inferiority to true PF, defenders died by fire, TOAA admitting he's Phoenix, etc
