It's stupid that the show won't include the dragon but WB/CW shows had Gorilla Grodd and Savitar.

[@TheKotaCan]

I've never read a comic book in my entire life. But I've been subscribed to you for over a year now, keep up the Amazing work man!

[@joshualogan84]

I'm excited, lots of hate for it right now. /shrug. Just gonna enjoy one of my favorite street heroes and ignore the haters.

[@sherwinwaldron2793]

You Do A Great Job Explaining The Origins I Watched A Couple Of Others But You're Absolutely Thorough...

[@sellmerfudd8652]

I think Marvel is doing an amazing job interconnecting all of these stories. I'm very excited to see what the future has in store.

[@fhfffhfhffffhfhfourt]

thanks for making this

[@chojikiba]

Great video, keep up the great content

[@wallpiece00]

I really enjoy your videos!!! Gives me insight on shows I'm not sure about watching! :)

[@ProHero86]

Good shit keep em coming

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Of course he's magical. Only magic can make an open shirt, high collar outfit like that work.

[@jacksonofrobert]

First off. ROB CORPS UNITE! ... Now that that's outta the way. I have been waiting for you to do iron fist since I discovered your channel two yrs ago. Iron Fist is my favorite comic book character. Wasn't the first characters book I bought, but he was the first I collected and latched onto. It was the Immortal Iron Fist run. Growing up being a martial arts fan, this comic book was perfect to get me into reading all different kinds of characters. "Why iron fist?" My coworkers ask, A: I like that he isn't everywhere; the character isn't over saturated, like many other. Makes iron fist comics easier to collect. B: Givin right focus on his skills, he is probably one of the most underrated and dangerous people to fight. I think he could take out nearly anyone in marvel, excluding the overpowered people. The book of the Golden Book or the IronFist gives him an extra 66ish previous iron fists knowledge and techniques to tap into, and his chi amplifications have almost no limit beyond his imagination.- so Rob if ya ever need a motivated Iron Fist Fan, I'm your man. Thanks again for this video, and all the work you and your team does... Peace!

[@thesuperframe]

Basically made a video just like this aha, I also covered the immortal iron fist run aha great stuff rob

[@fcm3d]

Yo know in Asia we ALWAYS had foreigners coming to train because they thought it was special or more legit or something...ehh it helped the economy...so Danny Rand being white makes ALL the sense like for reals. I'm just pissed that Japan ALWAYS gets the spotlight when it comes to magic and asianness. Where my magical escrima fighter from the Philippines? Do I have to make that comic myself and beg DC or Marvel to make it a thing?

[@georgenelson4457]

loved iron fist as a kid, him and Luke running around New York city my birth place. Awesome!!!! My best friend and I once went as the hero's for hire to a costume party on halloween. Wish my mom would give me that pic, we took great detail and time to make those costumes. Mind you this was back in the 90's before comic book characters were popular as they are today.

[@Vyatru1]

I have been waiting for what feels like forever the Netflix show to start and sadly but not sadly every time I ope upen up my Netflix there is the reminder. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!

[@DavidoffProductions]

[@EmmanuelAniTheSchism]

[@cirro51]

love IF he's my favorite comic character. idc what the early reviews are saying for episodes 1-6, I shall judge it myself

[@Ghost8386]

Dope channel.

[@AresWasTaken]

Rob you should start doing a weekly overview, review, explanation of comic-based TV shows.

[@Sephivoiceactor]

I read this series years ago and yes, it was amazing.

[@iso-abyss3574]

ur channel need more playlist been lookin for ur explanation on the marvel Netflix series can't find them

[@TheChroaton]

Hyped!

[@antawondouglas5262]

This was awesome and I can't wait until Iron Fist comes out on Netflix

[@poppasmokemusic]

IVE BEEN A MEMBER OF THE ROB CORE FOR A COUPLE YEARS NOW. since rob was rocking the wu tang sounding beats before and after videos. i im convinced he doesnt look at comments. ive been asking him to review the truth the first captain america . since the first movie. i think you should review the iasaiah washington story i know its not cannon but that would be a great story. cmon rob at least let me know why dog. im gonna keep watching. but cmon dude. keep up the good work!

[@caitlinbrewer4843]

Can't wait for the show! Don't believe the bad reviews!

[@slippy1809]

lol they're just like those different houses I Harry potter! the way rob said that whole spiel made me laugh

[@tonymejia5547]

almost at 1 mil rob!

[@TimBaoht]

Jesus Rob, you're gonna brake 1M subs!!!!!!!!!!!! CON MFN GRAD U LAAAAA TIONS!!!!!!!!

[@slippy1809]

your content is great very enjoyable. a video pitting the xmen jet vs the avengers jet and figuring out which would come out on top would be great!

[@hexbug9737]

Andy Skied i second this motion

[@Daf1400s]

Andy Skied. i third this motion

[@Diischarged]

I sexually identify as an attack helicopter and that idea has me ready for take-off

[@firetarrasque4667]

I sixth it and establish that Rob promised it in November.

[@slippy1809]

3.14 Dragon good eye! rob did say that he'd do this video and give me a shout out as well! I just like to drop reminders...km kind of losing hope that he'll actually do the video but we'll see...

[@bobbyvee260]

Netflix/Marvel have done a great job so far so I'm looking forward to it.

[@MrXleprechaunx]

rob, i think going over some hellboy would be amazing

[@brock2460]

Hey Rob,if i may,have you ever considered to work on more DragonBall content? I absolute love how the channel's system's going,but i'd like to see more outside those 2 old videos about Frieza and the Ssj levels.

[@IWASRANSOMED]

I just really like Daredevil and Luke Cage, so I'm really excited for this new show. Jessica jones is good too, but I've enjoyed the other 2 a little more. Iron fist looks quite promising.

[@betaraybillfan1750]

Okay, Ironfist is cool, but where is BETA RAY BILL Rob? That's all I need PLEASE

[@paulnash9851]

I'll second that. Beta Ray Bill was great.

[@jasonlowe4455]

You should do a video on cannonball, I seen him on a top ten list. From Cumberland, KY.

[@Sdotkellslol]

Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw those are the houses for Harry Potter movies

[@ShawnWeeded510]

Immortal Ironfist is fucking amazing. I wish the tournament between the Immortal Weapons showed more of each immortal weapons powers like a Mortal Kombat Tournament.

[@finnandjake22]

Would you ever do Uncanny XForce? Or Uncanny Xmen? Your channel is amazing and helps tremendously with picking comics to read. Moon knight and old man Logan would've gone unread if it weren't for you, so thank you!

[@danielcollins9502]

I've watched 4 episodes of Iron Fist and I like it

[@anthonythornhill8715]

I hope it's good because I want to keep seeing more comic characters come alive..but I have been hearing some negative reviews..hopefully it's better than the early talk is suggesting.

[@SkarrKingg]

I think it'll be really good.

[@brevoxyl1]

Can you make a full video about Captain Marvel, her origin, powers, how strong she is in the universe etc etc?

[@Blakk_Wolf7]

Yo Rob, can you so a video on Namor bro? His origin, his history, his role w/the illuminati, his death, his powers, how much better and stronger he is than Aquaman?

[@Nexion3653]

So ready for Iron Fist

[@KarlM29]

I'm stoked for Netflix iron fist

[@Perf0Cell]

I'm stoked for the new series and the bad reviews haven't swayed me yet.

[@uzumakikazu]

Rob, could you do a video on either the young avengers or the runaways?

[@danielcollins9502]

I think it will be a great show. Also I'd like to see a video on DarkHawk if it's possible :)

[@slippy1809]

Daniel Collins I loved DarkHawk when it first came out! I wouldn't mind watching a video where rob explains.

[@danielcollins9502]

I just started collecting the comic and really like it

[@bobcemore4379]

Daniel Collins Daniel is that you?

[@LordPhroz3nGhost]

Please oh please do a video on Who could possibly beat Dr. Manhattan my money is on Spawn or maybe Atom man.

[@dopenasty187s]

I can't wait for the show. I don't care what all these haters are saying on reviews. I'm watching it regardless.

[@DrBiBeatz]

Rob I was listening to your Theory about Clark Kent identity

[@KingFrazier843]

you should do a video on Batman becoming part of the Sinestro Corps

[@FedericoNavarrete]

Hey Rob! could you explain which of the multiple hammers from the ultimate universe, do you think it's in unworthy Thor? I'm sort of confused because there are many like a similar to the Earth 616, or another technological one or even one improved by Stark of the 1610! Thanks!

[@cocktailsandpedro815]

The hammer from Unworthy Thors is the hammer from the Ultimate (1610) universe. It was displaced after Secret Wars and returned to realm of old asgard, where the entire planet was taken by ‎Taneleer Tivan.

[@isinganddootherthings4616]

I wish someone does this version of the iron fist on screen

[@ethantalley90]

The Netflix series is so good.Can't wait for season 2

[@aldrinindanannjr.5451]

Van Wilder I agree bro.

[@DragonFist9323]

Immortal Iron Fist the definitive run of the character.

[@ToroidalVortexLove]

More Iron Fist, more Power man and Iron Fist please.

[@epicleprechuan]

You should do daken no does any good daken stories

[@Shemilboyer911]

will you be at Raleigh NC comicon this weekend?

[@alfredaramouni5884]

hello i willed like to ask you if i want to starte comics were should i start from what are the basis comics

[@reachova2times162]

Nice

[@ghostwarrior3878]

My question is how does this fit into the trade is this like a prequel issue before you read volume 1 in the trade or was this released with its own set of stories or issues I should say

[@joelhenry5489]

Robb, there is a documentary on KZbin about black comic creators and black characters. One of the people they interview is Dwayne McDuffie. He is not an SJW. He is a fucking legend in comics. And he speaks about the behind the scenes bias and racism that is at the heart of the industry. You really should watch it. It might give you a new perspective on Iron Fist.

[@cvs_en]

Well how about we boycott said companies and not random (and or all white) people ?Not that you did that,but why shit on the actor for example when he got payed to play a role?Should he have refused it?It's his job ,if he refuses work he will to some extent starve and there is no 100% guarantee that the studio or whoever does the casting woun't just pick up another white dude who is going to say yes.I also heard alot of the "cultural apropriation" remarks ,news flash americans don't really have a long history or a culture to inspire them...there is no american mythology they can draw from,so you guys would be stuck with cowboys and sf.You certainly aren't going to get bored:)).I mean no disrespect to anybody but some people overdo it .... Edit:i'll look up Mcduffie ,it seems he also worked on the JL cartoon and I have fond memories of that,ty.

[@DonavenJ1995]

Can you do a Blade video. I feel like he got lost in the marvel catacombs lol

[@dougnewton7137]

I used to love reading Iron fist and Chen li, I believe that's his name.

[@mlm_academyofficial2041]

Nice timing, Iron fist starts in 4 days in Netfilx.

[@xflixer4178]

Grandiose

[@dayshonpatterson9274]

Rob can you do video on DC's cosmic entities the endless

[@brett8770]

[@jasonle4125]

[@albertoponce45]

[@righteouspain3167]

[@xeqt4464]

What is the name of the song comics explained plays near the end of the video?

[@Ali-bd6kb]

So iron fist is the best thing coming out of dc rebirth

[@bishop6881]

Planet Kuruto listen up rob corp

[@trejay100]

Can you do a vid on omega red

[@eggsbenedictcucumberbatch4336]

so no one's going to talk about iceman poledancing on a snow pole at 1:56.

[@thylermorningstar9616]

It kinda make sense now.

[@DragonFist9323]

man its so disappointing that the Dragon won't be appearing in the Netflix show...

[@mr.lawton8936]

With that being said we'll brring this video to an end annnnd yea ill see you guys later

[@bigdurk4115]

Bloodshot reborn is awesome rob, so is faith .

[@Vent69420]

Big durk but is it THE BEST THING COMING OUT OF DC REBIRTH!!!

[@bigdurk4115]

Vedant Singh hahahaha

[@himurakenshiro2126]

9:30 i would agree whit this if it where not for the fact that he was able to punch trough the skull of a giant xian god once...and the dude was huge like...godzilla huge

[@smith2354]

6:45 Metatron subscribers will notice the song in the background

[@omegahtv6779]

wait, wait, WAIT Rob. you did a video on IRON FIST, and not ALPHA FLIGHT?!!? COME ON!!!!........ great video, tho.

[@AnEpicNguyen]

Wow. Didn't realize it til now but DANNY RAND =SIMBA! 😱😱😱

[@oberonvortigern4138]

When's the next Injustice vid coming Rob?

[@claudepainter-wain1788]

I get he's street level but when Rob says "He's a great fighter but at the end of the day he's no Captain America" is that more that Cap is the whole package of a superhero and is a rallying point, master tactician and more durable etc. Because I think in a straight up fight, with or without shield Danny would probably win right? It's gotta be close anyway, maybe Cap could just fight for longer or just bash him with the shield. I always thought that Iron Fist was better than Captain America at hand to hand combat. Also do a Video on the later Iron Fist stories, just so you can talk about the beast that is Fat Cobra.

[@darthseraphim369]

Should do *Mister Mxyzptlk* origin story

[@TheFrankencrx]

King Shark....do it... do it meow.

[@JustPeterSteel]

Weirdly enough, I remember reading all of this, and yet many of the panels do not strike me as familiar :/

[@seanhoedlmoser1739]

more iron fist and more spiderman!

[@DUBSDADEVILL]

Maybe referencing the xmen regarding origin storey was a bad idea as Professor X motivations was very heavily retconned in regards to the xnen and wolverine.

[@ZaxiusRPG]

Can someone enlighten me what the song in the background at 7:00

[@Anohail]

i dont get how the iorn fist is an internal power. yet was supposedly used to fight of the pheonix. was it just that user that was silly strong then?

[@bobcemore4379]

How did they get there in avengers vs Xmen? I thought the portal only open every ten years or somthing?

[@radfordra]

Can you do that comic where Iron Fist knocks out Colossus?

[@xeqt4464]

what is the name of the song starting at 6:45

[@majinsole8554]

The Rob Corp just got Fisted... ~_~

[@Supremmo]

I liked Kaare Andrews reimagining of the whole Harold/Heather/Wendell scenario. In the last Iron Fist series it was revealed that Heather Rand was having an affair with Harold Meachum. I kinda wished that expounded on that more.
