Hey, heroes! Thank you for watching another video! I'll be streaming again on Twitch again this weekend. On Saturday I'll be finishing up Mega Man X5, then on Sunday I'll be playing X-Men: Origins: Wolverine: Uncaged Edition! www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite

[@glennmiller6759]

I always have trouble with the Sentinel part in the air, I think the game is glitched because I press the button fast, but I can’t get past that part, has this ever happened to you

[@danielcooper3788]

])p

[@samwill7259]

I'm glad that they gave her the identity of Valkyrie after her time as Thor. Not only because I'm a huge Defenders fan which makes Valkyrie very close to my heart, but also because it would have been easy, even expected to shove her right back into the background. Letting her continue to forge her own heroic legacy was a much better choice.

[@Moultdog]

Her time is Thor could have been interested but it is handled in such a ham-fisted way that as soon as her identity was revealed Comics sales dropped like 75%. Also Valkyrie is a long-standing really good character, I feel like they could have done something else with Jane along that theme that would have been better suited. There is a ton of Lauren Norse mythology that has yet to be tapped, yet they only want to use pre-existing thanks.

[@christopherulichney]

I always thought that Jane was just a love interest supporting character, but she was really sooooooooo much more. An excellent look at a character I thought I knew, but really didn't. Let's keep the Thor characters rolling with a look at Red Norvell, the red headed Thor stand in.

[@jakeochs1467]

Thanks for the great video! Would you be interested in a video on Rick Jones? It seems the MCU is Giving Kamala and Carol the Nega band storyline he and Mar-vell had, but theres so much Rick Jones to explore! Great video as always! Thank you

[@jalenikezeue4114]

Yes yes yes we need a Rock jones video

[@187pennywise]

Your channel is my favorite for information on all comic characters!!! Thank you for sharing & taking the time to make these videos… I know I appreciate all the work you do…Much ❤️& Respect from OHIO !!!

[@josephel4292]

This was quite good. Brought back some fond memories of my days reading The Mighty Thor.

[@charlespittsjr604]

They should have made Jane Lady Sifs human form to show that they'd always loved each other.

[@martinezloves1]

I love the music you use for the episodes thanks for the uploads

[@jeffleonard3062]

fantastic!! thank you!

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the U-Foes, the Annihilators, the Squadron Supreme, Doom Maidens, the Midnight_Sons, Young Avengers, Dark Avengers, Masters of Evil, the Thunderbolts and the Champions?

[@ahmadilyas380]

I appreciate your effort

[@alexkotsch3230]

Hopefully, what Thor and Odin did in the comics they can do in the movies for Jane. They have to we have had too many of our heroes hearts broken like Gamora who was sacrificed for the Soul stone, Black Widow who was sacrificed the same and Wanda who's mind was lost to the Darkhold. Hopefully the producers can look in their hearts to make the movies happy again, you know a little return to the good old days which was only like The Avengers and Avengers Age of Ultron.

[@usamazahid3882]

Well, that solved the long-forgotten mystery of why Thor and the other Gods were unworthy and what Nick Fury whispered to Thor in the comics.

[@firxanza5172]

SPOILER Nick Fury told Thor that Gorr the God Butcher was right about Gods being selfish creatures that revel in human suffering and the world would be better off without them, Thor knew that there were such arrogant Gods out there and he was one of them, and so he knew Gorr to be right in a sense, that's why he became unworthy, but Jane was able to pep talk him into being worthy again

[@mcducky3114]

Love the Skyrim music around 9:00

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do origin of the Grim Reaper, Molecule Man, Sentry, Mr Immortal, Captain Universe, Dreadknight, Hypnotia, Blizzard, Starhawk, Flerken, Whirlwind, Chemistro, Whiplash, Ronan the Accuser, Ego the Living Planet, the Living Tribunal and Super_Skrull along with Avenger-X and the Protector?

[@JJtheSNKKid]

Was so glad to see this vid posted as soon as I got home from work; I've been waiting for you to do Jane Foster. Her run as the 'Mighty Thor' is my favorite. Sadly I haven't seen her run as Valkyrie though I've heard good things about it. Anyway great video and looking forward towards the next one. Think we could get a X-23/ Laura Kinney video next?

[@Nuff.98]

There was a jurassic park ad in the beginning

[@srikanthramprasad565]

I read Mighty Valkyries Vol 1 3 and I am baffled about where Hela is with the recently deceased body of Jormungand and she asks her own brother’s corpse if he’s dead for real or just dehydrated well she’s the goddess of death she should know because her own blood brother is just laying there lifeless not responding to her questions. So that tells Hela he’s dead.

[@KGBookkeeping]

Damn!!! The Possessor! Deeeep cut

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think is the best thing about Jane Foster who got turned into a goddess by Odin and what would happen if she stayed that way? What is up with Jane Foster having cancer just like her mother? Is this some kind of family curse? What would happen if she stayed as Mighty_Thor or became a Valkyrie in the MCU and joined teams like the Champions team and the Young Avengers? Can you do history of Marvel's the Champions team and the Young Avengers?

[@foldabotZ]

5 to 10 percent of cancer is hereditary, Jane and her mother just so happen to be unfortunately part of that 10 percent.

[@ptcarbonproductions2013]

22:30 Duck it, it was going so well! Does every "other guy" have to be killed off or turned into a supervillain?!

[@devonjohnson2705]

Can you Do The Origin of The Demon Azazal

[@dennismason3740]

John Romita Junior rocking it, again. That was Kirby below. Frikken Thor and Jane, like algebra.

[@ahmadilyas380]

Make a video on air-walker

[@reignking9316]

Can you do Jean gray please

[@donaldkirlew5465]

Do you complete history of Donald Blake

[@chibilutionaudios]

*leaves some snacks and water* just updating my location enjoy your day 💖

[@commonsense5199]

How About Tarene Olson aka Tarene Olson. What happen to her?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Is Jane Foster better as Mighty Thor or as a Valkyrie? Do you think we will see Jane Foster as a Valkyrie in the MCU with Undrjarn? Can you do history of Valkyrie like Brunnhilde?

[@Moultdog]

Jane Foster is better as Jane Foster, not replacing long-standing, established characters. She has a rich and varied history and if they want to push her into superheroics there are a myriad of other ways to do it.

[@Reddotzebra]

It's not called the NecroBlade, that would be much too normal, it needed a name with at least 150% more EDGE to it. The "All-Black NecroSword"! Ironically, once Knull gets a hold of it again it goes from solid black to black and red.

[@mickeymouse7726]

Do a video on gorr the god butcher

[@firxanza5172]

just like in the MCU, in the comics, Gorr was foresaken by the Gods that he worshipped and lost his loved ones as a result, so he turned mad, and his rage was amplified by the Necrosword, he went on a rampage slaughter Gods across the dimensions till the Thor trinity (Young Thor, present day Thor Odinson, and Old King Thor) stopped him

[@Warbird1984]

I prefer her as Thor BUT follow a page from Avengers Assemble cartoon and just give her the code name Thunderstrike just like the cartoon. Yes, I'm aware of Eric Masterson but that character is basically in comicbook limbo. I think fans would rather have her as Thunderstrike than calling her Mighty Thor as it is kinda confusing. Give her a new hammer not mjolnir, put the 1st universal storm inside that hammer that was previously imprisoned in mjolnir.

[@cyberhard]

Another home run!

[@trexadvent4726]

Who do you think is the best villain Jane Foster Thor fought against? Do you think we will see her fighting against Dario_Agger the Minotaur and Mangog in the MCU as a Valkyrie after seeing how she fought against Gorr in the God_Butcher in the MCU as Mighty Thor?

[@maskedvigilante909]

So Jane foster might come back to life and becomes the next vaykrary.

[@cadeevans4623]

Jane foster is a great marvel character love how she became lady Thor thanks for sharing the history on her love the character and Natalie Portman potrayl of her

[@TevyaSmolka]

Oh I got one how about a character history on spidergirl mayday Parker and Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy

[@robmarconi6758]

I think he only does Marvel characters

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@robmarconi6758 well technically Spider-girl mayday parker is a marvel character.

[@robmarconi6758]

@@TevyaSmolka Jonathan Kent, however, is DC

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@robmarconi6758 i know

[@robmarconi6758]

@@TevyaSmolka that's what I meant when I said he only does Marvel characters. Why ask about a DC one? Did Spidergirl and Superboy have a crossover? It's been awhile since I kept up

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think is the best thing about Jane Foster as Mighty_Thor and Valkyrie in the Comics? Which one of her powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of Odin, Lady Sif, the Warrior three, Mongoose, Bloodaxe, Heimdall, and Skurge the Executioner along with the Thor Villains like the Destroyer, Malekith the Accursed, Hela the Goddess of Death, Surtur, the Minotaur, Ulik, Kurse, the Enchantress, Gorr the God Butcher and Mangog?

[@TevyaSmolka]

I love Jane foster thor she’s really awesome and badass.

[@dennismason3740]

"...um, excuse me, I see that you are reading a "comic book" and there is a "comicbook movie" you should see! Sam Raimi! Still alive!" - "No thanks, comics are fine.". There are 44 good stories in this vid.

[@majinsole8554]

Jane said… ~_~

[@jollyjohnthepirate3168]

Let me first say I love Marvel. Now having said that when the story lines are laid out......Like sands through the hourglass, these are the Days of or Lives.😁

[@anacatarina1388]

It would have been awesome if there was a new Marvel movie only about Jane Foster (Thor)⚡😍🤟

[@quentinfogger5755]

Apart from Thor himself, Is Jane Foster better at using Mjolnir in the comics compared to Steve Rogers Captain America, Eric Masterson and Beta-Ray-Bill? What would happen if they each had their own Hammer instead of using Mjolnir which belongs to Thor Odinson just like how Beta-Ray-Bill has Storm breaker? Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's Eric Masterson AKA Thunderstrike, Valkyrie, The Destroyer(Enchanted_Armor), Amora the Enchantress, Gorr the God Butcher and Mangog?

[@jackieanderson9408]

Ok

[@jalenikezeue4114]

First she Was The Goddess Of Thunder 🌩and Now Valkyrie Jane Is becoming a Remarkable ⭐HERO ⭐

[@dennismason3740]

Jack's artwork is transcendent. WHAT IF movies did actual comics? My mind is blown.

[@cowpuddles4851]

Thor is immensely powerful even without Mjolnir and has centuries of training. What makes Foster think she can stack up? Do Marvel writers think we are all this dumb not to notice the deficit?

[@quentinfogger5755]

How long till you do history of America-Chavez in honour of the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness along with the history of the Grim Reaper?

[@quentinfogger5755]

What would have happened if we saw Jane Foster trying to lift Mjolnir during the first Thor movie where Thor was deemed unworthy by Odin during the first Thor movie? What do you think Jane Foster would be like as Mighty Thor without her getting cancer so that she can use Mjolnir as long as she wants, what do think she was like after being exposed to the Reality Stone in the MCU?

[@agentsuperargo5023]

R.I.P. Movie Jane

[@thelibtards1682]

This is of my least favourite characters from the M-she-U.

[@unigenius]

Not Jane Foster's weapon changing into other weapons, making her even MORE like She-Ra!! Hahahah!!

[@Janzer_]

zzz

[@Dynamo001]

I'm not a fan of Jane Foster, at all. She never interested me or impressed me. Turning her into a female Thor was one of the dumbest things Marvel has ever done -- along with cutting off Thor's arm and forgetting he could magically restore it with Mjolnir and/or any powerful Asgardian mystic like Karnilla the Norn Queen or Odin.

[@Silver-rx1mh]

Ummm......okay? lol

[@ericw8478]

Has there ever been a definitive explanation as what "worthy" means in terms of wielding Mjolnir because,even though "its just comics", there have been so many inconsistencies.

[@plain3089]

The definition of worthy changes writer by writer. Also Mjiolnir is (or atleast was) sort of alive so I guess that it makes sense that the definition for worthiness would change.

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do origin of the Brood, the Gladiator, Hyperion, Blue_Marvel, Alistair Smythe the Ultimate Spider Slayer, Stingray, Quasar, Squirrel_Girl, Ultimus, Kly'bn, Kang the Conqueror, Annihilus and Tryco Slatterus the Champion of the Universe?

[@quentinfogger5755]

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