NOBODY CONNECTS THE MARVEL UNIVERSE TOGETHER LIKE MERRY MARVELITE .. WHICH IS WHY THIS CHANNEL IS 'EXCELSIOR' ..

[@gr8tbigtreehugger]

The Canadian lore has such a unique vibe in the Marvel universe! Many thanks!

[@NormCantShoot]

Love the Alpha Flight content - my favourite team! Please Disney, give them a show on Disney+ !

[@9liveslie-cat-lie129]

Animated would be cool

[@nicholascorrin4648]

Can't love the Flight more!!!❤❤❤

[@aidanmoore9763]

I hope we get to see more Alpha Flight soon. It's nice to see other parts of the Marvel Universe get covered outside of America.

[@christopherulichney]

My favorite parts of the Alpha Flight videos are the mini origins of all their enemies. Bring on part 4. I love Heather in costume. How about doing a video on my favorite multiversal immigrant to the 616, RACHEL SUMMERS. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

[@Overkillrider]

Thanks for covering Alpha Flight

[@KGBookkeeping]

Part 3!!! Let’s go Canada!!!🇨🇦

[@SpektakOne]

Let’s go! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@lawrencefoster8062]

Madison Jeffries is one of the most powerful characters in the MU, not sure if it good or bad he wasn't used too much, he could just solve things too easily. I am a huge AF fan, and love your videos, keep them coming please

[@christopherp.8868]

Can't wait for PART 4!!!

[@robertfalcone3025]

As a lifelong Marvel Comics fan.. especially John Byrne's work there...i remember getting a huge kick outta the way John Byrne used Aloha Flight's discovery of The Crossroads & the allegedly mindless Hulk ..& there decision to bring Hulk back to the 616 dimension as a way of switching over to working on the Hulk title...& since the Incredible Hulk was my favorite Marvel Comics character..i was very happy.about John Byrne being the new writer& artist.

[@marciawilliams2499]

Part four please

[@starkraven630]

So many great videos based on Chris Claremont creations. Ones that should make the list one day include Arcade, Betsy Braddock, Callisto and the Morlocks, Black Tom Cassidy, D’Spayre, Forge, The Hellfire Club, Nimrod, Shadow King, and Strong Guy.

[@Shadowace724]

I started reading Alpha Flight during the events of this video. Great stuff and I look forward to more.

[@NintendoPrincess1012]

Great video as usual!! ❤❤ Would love to see more Alpha flight videos as the stories bring up great memories reading the comics with my dad

[@jamesmoss3424]

Great part 3 Alpha Flight video. 😀👍🇨🇦

[@rickytoddbotelho9555]

Excellent job 👍

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video ❤

[@jeffgrant1973]

Yes, please make a Part 4 for Alpha Flight!

[@vicaldama9314]

Soo many rememories and great artwork. No wonder we got great taste when reading this as a ten to 13 years cooked in our minds...

[@phillipwalters7702]

Hello there Merry Marvelite. I just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful third video dealing with Alpha Flight. I really enjoyed the information that you had in it and also enjoyed the great images that you also had in it. Anyways, thank you once again and I do apologize for the tardiness of this comment. I decided to turn in early last night, just because I had to start early this morning for work.

[@marciawilliams2499]

Can please do a video or videos on the slingers from marvel comics

[@Wade_B]

Just realized Puck is like hockey puck

[@brettwood1351]

We're getting closer to the stories that introduced me to Alpha Flight. I remember fighting a bunch of evil copies of other Marvel heroes, and an alien invasion. Think someone complained that the Rogue copy sounded like a broken record. Gonna be fun to see how accurate my memories are.

[@BlUsKrEEm]

We need a part 5

[@mrXOwarrior]

Interesting note that John Byrne left AF for Hulk and Bill Mantlo left Hulk for AF during the Hulk story. JB always had a love hate relationship with AF. Thanks for the video.

[@MrMetro-mt5qv]

Wolverine vs.Hulk(movie) should definitely take place in Canada, and Alpha Flight should definitely debut.

[@Wade_B]

LONG LIVE THE NORTH!!!!!!

[@r3n3gad33]

I hope you do more retrospectives for more teams. May I suggest New Avengers or Generation X?

[@TheDing1701]

Great as usual, MM.

[@HazeTheguide]

More Heather Hudson please 🙏

[@trexadvent4726]

Is Heather McNeil as Vindicator similar to Pepper Potts AKA Rescue like who's better between them? Can you do history of Pepper Potts AKA Rescue?

[@gnomevoyeur]

I’d love to read more of the AF vol 1. Marvel unlimited only has 36 of 130 issues available online.

[@joshuafrias2415]

Since that Godzilla crossover is coming up soon, maybe we can do a special Godzilla episode...

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the A-Force, Frightful Four, Excalibur team, the Ultimates team, Serpent Society, Fraternity of Raptors, the Annihilators, the Invaders, the Squadron Supreme, Doom Maidens, the Midnight_Sons, Young Avengers, Dark Avengers, Masters of Evil, the Thunderbolts and the Champions?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the Beyonder, Crossfire, Living Laser, Iron Monger, Titanium Man, Crimson Dynamo, Whiplash, Ultimo, Darkhawk, Reptil, Kid-Kaiju, Union Jack, Psycho-Man, the Badoon and the Broods?

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video? How long till you do history of the Excalibur team?

[@karmabum21]

more... MORE!

[@KingAresKKG300]

You should do a story about Moon knight

[@trexadvent4726]

He already did that but a video about his villains like Sun-King would be great

[@trexadvent4726]

Imagine if the people who made X-Men 97 show also did the same thing for the Alpha Flight?

[@tempodan]

Would appreciate a dive into Godzilla's history with the various publishers

[@dfr2377]

Can we get a Playlist or a combined continuous episode

[@Supremmo]

Oh Canada

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think is the best thing about the Alpha Flight team from this video? Who do you think is the best member of that team?

[@VillainBoss24]

Can you put crime master on the poll

[@glennparker7028]

18:23 That's the exact same Crossroads that The Hulk was once banished to!!! This is kinda ironic for me!!! Just like I remembered!!!

[@crashmoar290]

I see Alpha Flight I click.

[@blitzknight5371]

please do a history on sunspot please please please

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the Brood, the Living Monolith, Hyperion, Star-Splendor, Plasma, Hisako Ichiki Armor, Jackal, Stingray, Avril Kincaid Quasar, Orb, Squirrel_Girl, Ultimus, Kly'bn, Kitty Pryde, Yotat, Dr.Faustus, Omega the Unknown and Tryco Slatterus the Champion of the Universal?

[@trexadvent4726]

Are you going to do history of Ironheart, M'Baku, Namora, Attuma and Shuri as the Black Panther since they played a major role in the Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Who could believe that the spell which the Shaman put on Snowbird made her feel deported that she won't survive if she's outside Canada along with how the Shaman accidentally gets her daughter trapped in his magic purse?

[@marcusyates3044]

Can you talk about the Metal Men?

[@rmitwadehra4762]

Metal Men, while interesting, are DC comics. I wouldn't mind if the channel covered DC, but I don't think he does. 😊

[@trexadvent4726]

Since you did the History of the Mandarin and Fin_Fang_Foom, Can you do history of Ultimo as well as the Shang-Chi villain known as the Death_Dealer?

[@quentinfogger5755]

How long till you finish doing White Tiger : Legacy of the Tiger by doing the history of Ava Ayala White Tiger who's the daughter of Hector Ayala White Tiger? Can you do history of Intelligencia in honor of the She-Hulk Disney Plus show?

[@glennparker7028]

21:25 Oopies!!!

[@trexadvent4726]

What was up with Aurora and Northstar being against each other? Are they more powerful working together?

[@quentinfogger5755]

How long till you do history of Diablo with how he's partially responsible for Gilded Lily becoming what she is?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What's up with Delphine Courtney as Guardian that she didn't survive that her suit went to Heather McNeil as Vindicator?

[@glennparker7028]

21:48 Holy decapitation Batman!!!

[@scarboroughdebutante]

A west Edmonton mall? You mean THEE west Edmonton mall

[@vicaldama9314]

Northstar was a separatist?!!

[@quentinfogger5755]

Which movie or TV Show do you think did a great job in portraying Alpha Flight?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Is it shocking that Gilded Lily married a guy only to kill him along with becoming a Cyborg who perished when Sasquatch took her mask off?

[@glennparker7028]

5:32 She looks like a female version of the X-Men enemy The Blob!!!

[@ericw8478]

At what point did Walter come back as a woman and go by Wanda?

[@leopumarejo3400]

lol I was wondering if this episode would go that far into the story, but hopefully next time.

[@9liveslie-cat-lie129]
