This was one hell of a storyline. I've been thinking of a getting a trade of Empyre, so this helps with learning the background. Also, since you said to leave any recommendations: 1. A video on the Inhumans (maybe Crystal or Maximus if you want to be specific) 2. Squirrel Girl 3. Arnim Zola 4. Morgan Le Fay

[@4666raptor]

i love your videos. but cant find anything on the shi'ar empire? have u done anything on them or plan to one day??

Squirrel girl is a good one to do

As a 'Bronze Age' baby, I have to say our artists/inkers/colorists/letterers were amazing! 50 years later, I'm still blown away by all these greats! Kirby, The Buscema's, BW Smith, Neal Adams, Milgrom/Sinnott, Byrne, it goes on and on. The MCU has enough stories for the next 50 years! Excelsior!

[@kimbelsimpson7535]

I'm a Silver Age kid myself but I remember all of those names especially Jack the King Kirby and Neal Adam's while I growing up Neal Adam's did some of the artwork for the Kree Skrull war.

[@tripwire4727]

Excelsior!

[@hankhenshaw619]

I've never had any interest in the Kree and Skrull War until you explained it. This channel always keeps me captivated.

[@samwill7259]

These sort of long, interlocking histories between multiples staples of characters and corners of a vast universe is really something that comics can do better than any other medium. We've seen millions of years of these two races histories and how they intersect with dozen of our fan favorite character in large or small ways. If you were to knock backward from any character in the Marvel Universe, you would find the Kree Skrull war somewhere back up the proverbial tree

[@mf--]

Better perhaps but the cost of all these comics is in the hundreds of dollars.

I love how the Skrull's are Deviants! It explains so much.

It's a pretty cool idea. The Celestials made Eternals and Deviants on multiple planets, but Skrullos is the world where the Deviants won and wiped out the other Skrulls.

Masterful!!! Having been a Marvel fan for over 50 years, I know all the details you have shared. I admire how skillfully you taken all the threads regarding the Kree and Skrulls and woven them into a fully comprehensible tapestry of fact and detail. MerryMarvelite, my respects and regards. Success in all you undertake

[@user-zx9sy5yi3w]

This was one of my biggest complaints towards the Kree in the MCU. They are basically non-existent. No threat towards anyone. Ronan the Accuser was wasted, Wasn’t really threatening in Captain Marvel, and the Supreme Intelligence only being shown a few times. They just needed better substance, but they didn’t hit. I’m hoping by The Marvels they will get better, and apparently Carol gets wrapped up into a war between the two races. So, we’ll see.

[@lucariopokemon13]

Same can be said to the Skrulls too.

[@johnnygyro2295]

Yeah, it seemed the Kree and Skrulls were put on the backburner to focus more on the Asgardians and Thanos.

The MCU is rubbish when compared to the REAL MCU (Marvel Comics Universe) This channel gives you the real goods...the real history. And look at Marvel now; a rotted shell of what it once was. A once great company run by no talent morons. RIP MARVEL \m/

[@Lemon_Chicken_Yo]

Fantastic work on this one. The best so far! I kinda like the longer eps

[@markusallen5634]

I'm so happy to see someone mention the Dire Wraiths as part of the Marvel Universe and their connection to the Skrulls. I've been hoping that eventually, Marvel will buy back the publishing rights to ROM: SPACEKNIGHT and bring him into the MCU along with the Dire Wraiths, as well as THE MICRONAUTS in order to incorporate the 'Microverse' into the MCU instead of continuing to call it "the Quantum Realm."

[@DBoysen1]

Excellent summary of events. I was an avid collector of the original Captain Mar-vel series and collected the entire Kree-Skrull war issues of The Avengers. Was really disappointed that the movie veered so far off the source material as it was really some of the most imaginative writing Marvel ever produced. And MCE really needs to do an alternate timeline series on the life of Rick Jones. The kid was an essential part of many Marvel storylines.

[@mediaguyking7045]

They can always introduce him in a hulk movie

[@DIEGhostfish]

Making the manipulative shapeshifting conquerers into poor misunderstood refugees sure was a thing.

[@megaultradamn]

​@@DIEGhostfishit screams Disney intervention. They turned the Skrulls into Quasimodo's and Beast's. And that's before we get into the secret invasion show.

[@RX552VBK]

Those Skrull Cows come back with a creepy vengence. That was a great FF special starring Sharon. It reminded me of a Stephen King novel.

[@Ghostrider8004]

Nice. You used the Star Wars font for the Kree-Skrull war. Fitting for this epic space opera.

[@kbernardjohnson]

This was a really good video. You told the story of a very complex series of events and races very well. I'm impressed with the reading and research done, and then the script written to distill all that down into something that's half an hour or so. Enjoy revisiting this story. Kudos!

[@mdwesquire]

Get this man more subs.

[@tonyibraham5931]

That's why I asked for a Rick Jones video a couple months back. He seems more intertwined in Marvel's history than I realized.

[@twelve11]

Something I always wanted to see and still hoping it can hapoen: a massive space battle between Kree and Skrull fleet, similar to the Battle of Endor in Return of the Jefi with massive capital ships and fighters. There is so much potential in the MCU to have fleet battles.

[@ivane5110]

I loved back in the day when Earth-712's Inhumans (via Power Princess) Skrulls (via Doctor Spectrum and Skymaster) and even Eternals (via Hyperion) where hinted at. I just wish those plot threads were pursued back then. I think Roy Thomas, Mark Gruenwald and the like would've made some interesting parallels and divergences between them and the "proper" ones of 616.

[@solaire-jd8jd]

A great summary that touched all the bases. Well done.

[@cohaddict]

[@alexandrefrauches132]

I think this story will be adapt with the skrulls having their own series in Secret Invasion TV show and the kree probably appearing in Marvels. Since I heard som rumors that Secret Invasion will work as prologue to New Avengers, it's possible that Kree-Skrull War will be the event that bring the heroes of the new generation (ex: Sam Wilson, Carol, Jane Foster) together, to stop this war from destroying Earth .

[@DaidriveCJ]

I hate how often the closed captioning confuses the words "Skrull/Skrulls" for "Scroll/Scrolls" in this video and most others that mention them. Can you imagine how tough it is for someone who actually _needs_ and depends on closed captions and the like that happens to be fans or wants to become a fan?! Don't get me started on both the similarities and lazy pronunciations that often happens with the words "haki" often spelled "hockey" and how almost everyone says "Zone" instead of "Zoan" when closed captioned when it comes to One Piece content...

[@TheNeuroticnathan]

interesting theory i have, as the kree and skrulls are at war then they would likely alter their own history/mythos to discredit the other and we know the kree are a bit imperious so it makes sense if the progenitors where actually celestials as they function the same way, the kree would see themselves as just another one of the celestials experiments and so invented the progenitors as a cover to give themselves something unique.
