The great quotes of: Apocalypse

[@SMD2x]

Apocalypse has the best one liner ever in cartoon history. "I am as far beyond Mutants as they are beyond you.

[@allseeingi]

SMD2x That line was remixed from an old Star Trek original series episode . The connection is that although Spock 🖖 delivered this line , the actor who played a Klingon captain in that same episode went on to provide the voice for this version of Apocalypse.

Apocalypse in the 90s cartoon was never in any trouble at any time. Never hurt. Never desperate. Never worried. Never on a last breath or a last chance at something of any kind. This guy was simply untouchable. Everybody threw everything at him and all it did was make him come up with these awesome quotes.

[@macabree5856]

And that what made his character so iconic amongst all animated characters that ever hit the screen. No wonder his name is "Apocalypse"

Ya the movie ruined him

[@Darthzilla99]

It basically took every single telepath powered by God levels of time buffs in order to kill him in the 90s cartoon at the end of Beyond Good and Evil (it was supposed to be the finale of the 90s cartoon).

[@wanderingthedesert5599]

Well, kind of. The first time we actually see Apocalypse in a situation that proves daunting for even him is when Beast overrides Apocalypse's ship (with help from the ships' A.I. of course) and turns the internal weaponry against him even causing him utter a pained gasp from the initial weapons blast. But I think that the ship was based on Celestial technology (not really covered in the animated series, it was explained in several issues of the original X-Factor comic book run written during the mid-late 1980s). Even so, Apocalypse was still an unstoppable 'juggernaut'.

[@puffpuffpassmako]

"Like Sisyphus am I doomed to failure for all eternity?" If you know the story of Sisyphus you'd see why this line was so good. In greek mythology, Sisyphus was cast to the underworld and as punishment he had to roll a boulder up a giant hill. He'd always reach it just barely to the top, only for the boulder to roll back down and he'd have to start all over, in an endless cycle for eternity. So for this analogy, apocalypse is saying that even though he has all this power, he's only come just BARELY come close to world domination since the X Men always stop him. Which in turn makes him question if he's doomed to always fail and never meet his goal of conquest. For once, Apocalypse has questioned himself that if what he's doing can be achieved. If in fact, only the strongest can survive in his eyes, why can he not accomplish his goal? Maybe Apocalypse overestimated himself and he is in fact NOT the strongest. Talk about a mid life crisis

[@trentosborne3326]

Mat Red Fox didn't ruin Apocalypse this is just another example of fans knowing nothing. Who is Apocalypse he is an all powerful mutant from ancient Egyptian times who believes that it is the divine right of the strong to rule the world and the weak must be eliminated. Due to his immense power he sees himself as a god and believes due to being the strongest it is his right to rule the world. He ruled as a god for many ages until he was betrayed and forced into a deep sleep. He recruits powerful mutants to serve as his four horsemen. He is a full on social Darwinist who seeks the destruction of the world to build a better one. That sounds exactly like Apocalypse to me. Fans know nothing you know nothing about Apocalypse you like him because he has an awesome voice and speech pattern that's it, you don't care about anything regarding the actual character. For example Apocalypse's social Darwinism the core of his whole character is not really present in the show he never seeks out the strong he never tries to separate the strong from the weak, Apocalypse's whole philosophy is not focused on. The movie does focus on it, in the comics Apocalypse is persuasive so persuasive that three X men have joined him at some point willingly. Fox understood Apocalypse Singer understood Apocalypse the only ones who didn't were you and all the other shallow fans it's becoming a common occurrence. Comic fans don't understand the characters or the source material anywhere near as much as they think they do if they did they wouldn't be saying the characters were ruined all the time.

[@WhaleManMan]

Trent Osborne He wasn't exactly "ruined" in my eyes. I just believe that the cartoon was better at presenting him in an original way than the Fox movie.

[@trentosborne3326]

Which is fine but as I have said already nineties Apocalypse was not comic Apocalypse, movie Apocalypse was. In the comic Apocalypse persuaded Wolverine, Angel and Gambit to all join him willingly at one point. He was so persuasive he convinced these heroes to turn on their ideals. He took advantage of their weakened states exploited their flaws and pain and made it appear he was the best answer to their problems. He managed to actually convince these people that what he was doing was for the best that he actually did care about their predicament these were all people who fought against him and he brought them to his side willingly.

[@marked4death076]

Trent Osborne alot of people were okay with what the movie had apoc do....its how ridiculous he looked and how short and weak he looked haha dude was shorter than storm!

That fuckin weak, the fact they didnt make apoc CGI was a slap in apocalypse face, no human can pull his character off without Looking silly like it did.

I like how he says "o......blivion"

[@siggemannen1]

My favourite line, the voice delivery is amazing as well

[@destroyer1107]

Who is here after that finale?

[@chrisjacksob9887]

"Do what you will...for i fear no one". This line always gives me the chills, not just the lines but how he says it.

[@auvelier]

I just love David Kaye talking to himself

[@Tadaokomai]

It’s like optimus prime and megatron are voice by David Kaye at the same time

[@DirtCheapFU]

"Who is he talking to?" "Just... just enjoy it".

[@mechanwhal6590]

I was wondering why he sounded so familiar. Yessss...

[@eivor2881]

Sesshomaru

[@Xehanort10]

19 people looked upon the future and trembled.

[@doublezeta28]

You forgot the X-Men The Animated Series Episode "Obsession"; When he tells Archangel "Come back to me my prodigal son, and all shall be forgiven" LMFAO

[@krisfrederick5001]

So many good ones too choose from.

[@jasonbourne-sl7qy]

RIP michael Clark Duncan he would've been perfect for this role

[@NAT-turners-Revenge]

Heck yea

[@cdubb310]

Spare me you petty judgments, This sprang from a mind too meager to comprehend my reality. Now taste the power of Apocalypse....... Easily top three lines in comic history....

[@rich763690]

PROFESSOR: ""THE HUMAN RACE DOES NOT NEED YOUR HELP!"" APOCALYPSE: ""HMM........SINCE WHEN HAS MANKIND EVER KNOWN WHAT IT NEEDS...."" THIS PIECE OF WISDOM BELONGS IN A TIME CAPSULE

[@BEATSofDevil]

Lmao the whole point to apoc was his corrupted invalid wisdom.

[@blain147]

@@BEATSofDevil The thing is; most of the things he says are accurate.

[@Tomha]

It's not that he's wrong. He twists and perverts wisdom to justify his Evil.

[@kentay8050]

Yes, it is an indirect reference to the 'illusion of free will' - unconscious mental processes that made our choices and make us think we made them (The field test scene from Robocop 2014 somehow illustrates this). Brains scans shows the impulse to do something is activated before we are conscious of it (so a choice is decided before we are aware of it). If the brain is not engaged correctly, we do what we want (feeling) instead of what we need to do (thinking). Apocalypse was referencing in general, that human history never really made the best decisions.

[@Ragitsu]

Screw "X-Men: Apocalypse" for tarnishing the image of Apocalypse.

[@xplosivrounds6128]

it was painful to watch that last scene. I was like WTF apoc kill these pathetic mutants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@agentofchaos7456]

The cartoon version was worse.

[@Ragitsu]

No, it isn't.

[@agentofchaos7456]

In the cartoon version he ran away like a bitch from the X-Men after his horsemen were defeated. While the movie version kicked Quicksilver, Mystique, Professor X, Beast, and Cyclops.

[@brianmayabella5992]

"You have delayed the inevitable" quotes apocalypse - bascially he cant be killed or destroyed

[@gs72380]

"Spare me your petty judgements. They spring from a brain to meager to comprehend my reality!" That’s deep his best quote right before he clapped Magneto and Mystic!! Apocalypse is the all time greatest mutant!

[@2ndMess]

Mutant? LOL He is as beyond mutants as they are us..!

[@POSITIVE_TALKS24]

In the mid to late 90s, this guy was considered the most powerful and feared man amongst the x-men

[@chillwill4real]

Prof X - "You have to know that somehow you will be stopped" Apocalypse - "What i know is, it will not be by you" GOT EM!!!

[@BlackWingedSeraphX]

I love the line at 3:45 hahaha "What I know is, it will not be by you."

[@brianmayabella5992]

Poor professor

[@jeremimi]

i doubt the live action film will have a voice this good. whoever voiced the 90s cartoon apocalypse was perfection

[@megaboss8140]

jeremimi But he needs better scripts.

[@LordPsychon]

jeremimi It was John Colicos. Kor from the original Star Trek. Sadly he is gone. John Noble would make a great Apocalypse.

[@DanielM2006UK]

jeremimi Quite agree, the newer animated was close, but it will be hard to find someone to top the 90s version.

[@spencepeders4997]

jeremimi haha much in the same way as apocalypse is though perhaps time found an oponant it COULD defeat.

[@skeaneable]

jeremimi :( Oscar Issacs is gonna play the role of Apocalypse...I cringe!

[@mobo410]

3:04 Professor X: "The human race does not need your help" Apocalypse: "Hrmph. Since when has mankind ever known what it needs?" Professor X: "Since.......shut up, that's when".

[@mr.moviemafia]

2:08 - “From the ashes of this world, I will build a better one!” I absolutely loved hearing this line come back in “X-Men: Apocalypse” (2016)

[@tacitus6384]

"Spare me your petty judgements. They spring from a brain too meager to comprehend my reality. Now taste the power of Apocalypse!" I love ya Magneto, but he got ya there.

[@macabree5856]

Yeah he got you there. What a statement. Floored by his respose

[@DarkGob]

Spoken like a mad demigod, or an edgy 14 year-old in their goth phase.

[@bewareofthedeceiver]

"Evil? I am not malevolent I simply am." Best Evil line.

[@tappingninja]

"I am as far beyond mutant as they are beyond you..."

[@chriscollins3225]

best line ever

[@adambirkholtz4453]

+chris collins Isn't it, though?

[@jacknapier9026]

John Cólicos voice

[@larryclowers]

His crisis when he realized he's evil and can never win is priceless. It all finally hits him how futile his life has been.

[@thebigguy270]

Apocalypse is the only mutant who can speak in all caps

[@andrewpytko4773]

"I have seen more of the world, than you could ever dream of. That is why, I must destroy it."

[@XtinaCUMSLindaPerry]

The Apocalypse from X-men Evolution is such a joke compared to TAS 90's Apocalypse. 90's TAS Apocalypse IS Apocalypse, if only the guy that voiced him were still alive. He would be perfect for the movie. His menacing voice and quotes are phenomenal.

[@civilwarfare101]

If the show continued, maybe he could've done more.

[@ecliptorcalrissian5014]

I love John Colicos's epic hammy version to no end, but Evo's had his own flavor that was also something to see. For most of his screentime, he had this more Egyptian theme made with his origin in mind, and he was this silent and imposing force of nature that could wreck the combined X-Men and Brotherhood team with a gesture, not bothering to make grand speeches to those he considered irrelevant. They really should have kept him like that instead of having him suddenly start looking and acting like the previous show's version.

[@drewyetti]

However, he was overpowered like a God.

[@Heil-Haidra2319]

Oscar Issac presume that he can replace ME human. He shall PAY for his hubris! RIGHT NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

[@DeVstatrOmga]

4:21 - 'I am as far beyond Mutants as they are beyond you' That line always stuck with me for years and to this day. Shakes me to the core. What hope is there if ever having to face off against a being of such power.

[@ViscaBarcaInter]

He's fucking BAD, yo. The best parts are when some maggot says something to him, and he just grows like 200 feet in response. :D

[@gabrieljohns89]

Yes! It’s like his reaction is saying, “Excuse me! What did you say?!”

[@AlexAceves1994]

"Everything they built will FALL!"

[@nathanwoodcockn7184]

This is the OG apocalypse, glad hes back 😍

[@TheMetalAllfather]

*"I am the rocks of the eternal shore! Crash against me and **_BE BROKEN!"_*

[@undeadhound3402]

Gambit: *Crashes into the eternal shore, and doesn’t break.*

[@gagecrawley6223]

I think what I like about animated Apocalypse is the fact that he’s more imposing and intimidating in the cartoon, rather than in the movie. Oscar Isaac just didn’t deliver the all powerful threat the original character imposed.

[@__2561]

If Apocalypse doesn't break into an epic rant in the upcoming movie, I'm getting a refund.

[@vegetta00]

"I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond you."

[@KingAdrock420]

4:22 *"I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond you."* Christ that line gives me goosebumps.

[@PerfectAlibi1]

I am ETERNAL!

[@shoken4421]

Love how one of apocalypse voice actors is Megatron from beast wars ,top notch voice acting

[@shova213]

Best line - "I know more of this world than you can even dream. That is why I must destroy it. "

[@dewaard3301]

"I am the rocks of the eternal shore; crash against me and be broken!" That's just poetry

[@ljgav]

Orginal Apocalypse sounds vastly better than newer ones

[@civilwarfare101]

David Kaye did do a good job. I mean Beast Wars Megatron did sort of sound like him.

[@nanakb7785]

You should have included the line in the same episode ("Time Fugitives" in X-Men) when Apocalypse says "You dare claim dominion? Over ME?!
