Odin does have to wear an eye patch. He plucked out one of his eyes and traded it for knowledge. There was a story arc in Thor that explained how Odin was missing an eye. It was in Thor Vol 1 #294. Odin's depiction of the three sacrifices which make him all-seeing, all-knowing and aware of the past and the future comes from his ordeal gathering the Runes of Knowledge and Prophecy, the Ashen Spear Gungnir, formed from the wood of the World Tree, Yggdrassil and the sacrifice of his Eye in Mímir's Well.

[@soulreaver2727]

I'm glad you made this series man. I've been wanting to know about the infinity gauntlet and everything that took place in the comics. A great story. Thanks for sharing.

[@veng3r663]

As have I. It IS opening even more new 'possibilities' for AND within my new game world realm as we speak... :)

Thanos: This a family reunion!!!!!!!!, here's our granddaughter, (whispers) *we haven't told her she's adopted* Nevula: (walking aimlessly) *guttural zombie like sounds* Thanos: Here's mommy!!! M. Death: *sigh*...... Thanos: Love you too honey. And we have here the funny uncle, who's just kinda hangs around. Mephisto: sup.

Robs voice is hypnotizing!...so soft spoken, it reminds me of one of those radio talk shows you hear at 2am on the way home from the bar!!...almost puts me to sleep!...I say this because on my way home from the bar at 2am I almost fell asleep at the wheel listing to this on my car stereo!..”just to be clear was not drinking I’m a cook that works in the kitchen”...anyhow I love all your vids rob and you got the magical voice for for telling these stories...maybe you should think of a career as a National Geographic documentary narrator!..keep up the good work my friend!

[@LZRKRFT]

Youre so good at this Rob, I enjoy watching this even though I reread this comic in the last couple of months. Great job as always, keep it up!

[@bsabruzzo]

I want Drax in the movies to look like that... even if only as a joke scene.

[@210SAi]

I actually like both versions comics and movies except Drax in the Infinity Watch just looks like a joke

It's like Rob is narrating my childhood.

[@jonharrison]

Bruce Banner It is. Lol. The Infinity Gauntlet series is from the 80s which is when the Alf tv show was running.

[@howlettcorps5996]

This was such an entertaining story to read. Thanks! I have a suggestion. Maybe because I am so familiar with the story I felt that you were almost reading the book for us. I was kind of expecting a very brief explanation of what is going on and more commentary. You kinda make both worlds happy. New people jumping into comics and also us comic book veterans who would like to hear more your opinion about the story, plot, characters or history of big Marvel comic book events. Thanks again! Love listening to these!

[@xavigolden8287]

I love that the art is a mix between the styles of Ditko, Kirby, and Buscema. Nails the tone of the book.

[@OldieWan]

Thanks for putting this all together for us ComicsExplained! This was BY far my favorite comic book series! I am so happy to have collected and still have 5 copies of this comic series. Tucked away for safe keeping.. Something long ago told me, BUY these and put them somewhere safe.. Someday they WILL tell this story on the big Screen!!! Voices from the future? Or just my "nerd" sense kicking in! Money aside, this series expanded my mind and talents in this physical world! Dreaming and thinking of these stories kept my mind busy through some of the darker days of my life! So I thank you again, you bring it together and tell the story in almost the way I had heard it play out through my head! Thumbs up on all 1-8!!! Peace:Tyson

[@Iamreality9124]

Never really read comics, but I also enjoy the stories that make them up. You do a great job going through the story lines and for that... Subbed! keep up the great work.

[@VladtheImpaler_99]

well that's weird. In actual Norse mythology Odin is missing an eye. He gave it as a sacrifice so that the other could see all things

[@Kieru002]

+Ken Millspaw I was just about to say that

[@valeg8682]

+Ken Millspaw wondered about that too. first thing that jumped out at me as verily off. Some of it up until that point was a bit lame, but weird they didn't make that part of Odin canon. They gave Santa Clause all his mythic powers.

[@TheJanitorIsIn]

Anybody rewatching this since the Infinity War trailer came out?

[@HeatForce]

Woah already? I was expecting pt. 2 week. Good stuff.

[@CT-nb5lm]

Sue Storm in some random late 1980's comic I read in the 90's " you're strength is weak" ~Doom" my str in m y intellect & how I use it 2 guide others" ~"You have no power over me" -"You're here aren't you" This was my intro to Doom....

[@midu914]

I'm not sure if they follow Norse Mythology closely, but the original myth of Odin only has one eye. He traded his eye for the secret of the Runes.

[@midu914]

Okay. Well said. But I guess Marvel takes a lot of creative license. I would too if I were writing the story.

[@midu914]

I stand corrected.

[@midu914]

Okay.

[@ainsgrant]

No your right, he’s wrong. Read Thor Disassembled. He gouges out his eye for wisdom like his father Odin did.

[@CybershamanX]

(1:16) & (21:42) I like how the Silver Surfer's surfboard is just propped up off to the side. It must be a pain to figure out where to put it in frames where he's not riding it. :P

[@mechmaverick]

the real odin traded his eye for supreme wisdom and understanding of the runes

[@IzzytheEgyptianVulture]

In my opinion Infinity Gauntlet was probably the greatest storyline in Marvel to date. I had all of the Infinity Gauntlet comics. Some of the best times in comics.

[@mmaft5697]

Hi rob, first time listener and sub. Great to hear comics told in such a way that it is honest and passionate about the source material. My first comic ever was the X-Men Inferno saga. Any chance you could cover it?

[@element96killcams]

How powerful is Thanos without the infinity gauntlet?

[@MarkyMatey]

He powerful but not as with the Gauntlet

[@clashcitycretin10]

Mgen Rewing no shit. How powerful is he WITHOUT the glove?

[@comics_explained]

clashcitycretin10 Without his glove, Thanos is still one of the most formidable being in the Universe.

[@urbansktrboi]

Powerful enough to acquire all of the gems from the elders lol

[@sinister0077]

dogindagrass outside of the big cosmic beings (Eternity, Death, Galactus ect...) Thanos is the most powerful (IMO) if the X-men or Avengers fought him, theyd lose.

[@Arcanedeus]

Thanks Man, I have been waiting for your Infinity Gauntlet videos, Keep up the great work Rob, Benny, Sal, and Dave! Love you guys, and you should definitly start a comic series, That WOUld bE TigHt

[@tonyarevalo8175]

Am I crazy, or did I see a blue Alf?

[@5TailFox]

Odin did lose an eye. He gave it up willingly, in order to have knowledge of all things.

[@Demonos3]

+Shawnee Longbow thats how the legend goes. surprisingly Blizzard took that from Norse Myth and stacked it onto Killrogg from Warlords of Draenor (they shoulda put that in Lich King expansion somewhere since that expansion was all Norse Myth lol). I dont know why I brought this up... I haven't played WoW since Blackrock Foundry came up, before that I didnt play since LK and only came back because I heard it was gonna be like Burning Crusade again... I was wrong, it was still shitty and I will never go back again.

[@Danrike]

Thank you so much for doing this, man you are the best!

[@edmeister4031]

This is completely random and has nothing to do with the Infinity Gauntlet: I have never understood something about mutants. How the fuck does a genetic mutation allow them to bend reality and shit? Could someone explain that please...

[@supoa9489]

Mainly because they are naturally born with their powers which can grow to incredible heights compared to a hero who got them through external factors, though I'm sure someone can explain it better than me

[@pulsarstargrave256]

Supo A Maybe Chris Claremont has a website!

[@metalore]

It's not a regular mutation. Long ago, the Celestials (the giants seen in Guardians of the Galaxy) genetically altered humans so that they eventually would produce mutant superhumans. At the time that the Celestials put this genetic potential into humans, they also created from humans two new races, the superhuman beautiful Eternals (Thanos is actually a mutant Eternal) and the ugly mutated Deviants.

[@ragnorke634]

Eagle The two most commonly known mutants that can bend reality actually draw their power form something else entirely. Jean Grey draws her power from the Phoenix Force, Scarlet Witch draws her power from the Elder God Cthutan. Their actual mutations are much more simple and weak in comparison, they were merely chosen as hosts.

[@Spoilers-Allowed]

Levitation, healing factor, eye beams, telekinesis etc. In a universe where those feats are reality, aren't all mutant powers just differing levels of "altering reality". Clearly, genetics doesn't work the same in in 616 as in ours.

That part with Odin gathering the Sky Fathers is very similar to a part in the book American Gods by Neil Gaiman.

[@Haik0]

Amazing channel you've got here. Good job man. Subscribed !

[@ericstaples7220]

Odin actually has lost an eye. According to mythology, Odin drops his eye into the Well of Urd, as payment, so he can drink from it and gain its cosmic knowledge. In certain alternate futures of Marvel, we see King Thor has sacrificed an eye in the same way. However, in the Rune King Thor story line, we see Thor sacrificed both of his eyes to the Well of Urd and gained even greater knowledge and power than Odin ever did.

[@231Joshie]

This is a awesome series

[@JustmeAgainOk]

[@SmoakRaider510]

I can see Eros part given to Loki in the movies.

[@catinjcatin5552]

[@crimson2knight]

I feel all of this is going to happen really fast in part 1 and 2 of the Infinity War movies of the MCU.

[@tagmaster9522]

Didn't Odin pluck out his eye as a sacrifice? 11:05

[@WhatAvery]

... Is the thing with Odin's eye patch really true - that he only wears it for ceremonial reasons? Wow... *Facepalms*

[@jetlorider]

it's always stated in all mythology...that he's only left with one eye. Every Odin rendition always have him with one eye opening.

[@WhatAvery]

I know... but from what I got, he has both eyes in the comics, right? I mean, I knew the Marvel versions weren't very faithful to the source material, but...

[@jetlorider]

***** oh I got you now...yeah I just got to the part when he is talking about Odin...and he says that Odin wears the eye patch just a tradition not the fact that he lost one of his eye....hummmmm I think MarvelExplained was just distinguishing the difference between the film and the Hollywood movie version..... Odin may not lost an eye but he's always closed his right eye and open only his left.....damaged or not...that's how he's always been represented.

[@sampieri252]

My favorite channel. Good stuff.

[@boostermac5279]

And in this issue with Surfer and Doom really playing a big part we see why it had to change for the movies... I also wonder since we know THANOS can control who did and didn't disappear, if he had targeted no one on earth, and/or just killed Drax and Suffer instead of throwing them in the soul gem, he would never have been beaten...

[@CybershamanX]

(17:05) Dr. Strange's servant snatches Pip's pipe and Pip's not too happy about it. Just before the fadeout you can just catch Pip getting in his face about it. :P

[@CybershamanX]

Does Dr. Strange's demon servant have 4 or 5 fingers on each hand? It looks like sometimes he has both. :/

[@statuesq169]

i must say your intr music is awesome!

[@robdfar]

Thanos is a power house with out the gems . when death brought him back before the gem quest she boosted his power also. Also odin is blind in that eye. his brother did it or is that another story from the multi-verse

[@doggowar]

1) Odin is missing an eye. He wears a specific eye patch in this issue because half of the population of Asgard was lost- but he always wears an eye patch because...he is missing an eye. 2) Though in theory Silver Surfer is much more powerful than Dr. Doom, Doom has beaten Surfer most of the times they have fought.

[@brandonchittick5219]

Your intro is legendary.

[@jortharob3406]

Rob your Old Intro is SICK!!!!

[@Ut00bsux0rz]

Pretty sure Doom stole Surfer's powers when he was at full strength in the old Fantastic Four comics. That's what Doom was talking about in that panel about their "last encounter".

[@jmiester25]

2:30 When Doctor Strange is frozen in the street during that first Infinity War trailer, do you think we'll get something similar to what happened in the comics?

[@210SAi]

In retrospect he kind of did when he used the time Stone to see what timeline would defeat Thanos

[@watersavechris41st]

I LOVE this Intro

[@SixftHax]

Wait if Thanos chose Mentor to be one of the people to vanish then couldn't he have thought of all the super heroes and they would have vanished to? Correct me if I'm wrong but just a thought.

[@martinolong]

I thought the exact same thing. I haven't read the infinity gauntlet but it seems like it's either a plot hole or Thanos is arrogant enough to think that none of them are a match for him

[@SPACEHARICE]

Ok think about it think off all the people you know then think of all the people who are in there 20s you know try thinking of all of them gone.now think of your best friend gone.its alot easier to think one person away then a whole bunch of people away especially pacific ones

[@BossRedRanger]

You have to remember that Thanos had supreme power, but he wasn't used to it yet. Its like how if I gave you a Ferrari. You may know how to drive a fast car hut it'll take a while to truly push the Ferrari to it's limits. Thanos just hasn't adjusted to omnipotence fully and that will get addressed later on.

[@sleepycthulhu1]

Doom tried it twice in Secret wars but strangely enough it didn't really work. Perhaps the same thing would have happened with Thanos?

[@BossRedRanger]

***** He and Adam Strange discuss weilding the gauntlet in the Infinity Watch. Adjustment is key to weilding the gauntlet. Trust me kid, I've had these comics since they debuted.

[@Burned-Legate]

Purely out of curiosity, when Thanos extinguished half of the galaxy were those who were destroyed based upon his decision or was it completely random?

[@ninjabobcat8959]

swinubfan Probably random. He didn't seem to care who dies, just as long as half the universe was killed off.

[@210SAi]

Random except for Mentor as explained in this video

@2:10 Boy...you look when Hank leaves Stranges house...At this point in the comics we have both Avengers teams...In the MCU we have rumors of a split-up and two teams...and a doc strange movie coming..fits very well..but we still have F*#&%G Fox with the Silver Surfer...

[@danzigrulze5211]

Thanks for sharing all of these videos, I've gone back on my collection and started reading a couple of comics I can't get rid of because of their value..
