You could just please respond to my comment please

Please respond to my comment please

[@rubensalvador9422]

Hopefully you get the chance to continue with Sandman's story. I love his redemption and Heroic arc. Also I have always been interested in the evolving gang wars in NYC. Don't know if it is feasible to cover that. Plus you also touched upon the evolving tech used by law enforcement in 616. Is it possible to tackle that topic as well? Thanks. Love the in-depth overviews of each subject matter you tackle.

[@stevebourgeault8340]

Yeah finally sand man

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

I think Thomas Haden Church did a great job playing the character way underrated if the script would have gave him more time on screen he would have been recognized more for the role

[@Bobbybillybillbob]

Agreed! Raimi wanted Sandman ro be the pivotal role and had to shoe horn in Venom. If he was able to focus on Sandman and Vulture (his intended cohort for Sandman) I bet we could have gotten so much more depth, plus the synergies with Sir Ben Kingsley (Rumored Vulture casting at the time) would have been alot more emotional and incredible imo

[@quentinfogger5755]

Yeah, I'm starting to think what that Spider-Man movie would have been like if Sandman was the main Villain and Venom never appeared in that movie

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

@@quentinfogger5755 I've never thought about it like that before but you're absolutely right I feel the same way

[@DearBoi-mg2fb]

Yeah but it's a business! and venom was really super hot around that time! I would have been fine with it if it was just Sandman too!

[@BrownMan-gg7dx]

I think so too. He was one of the best things about that movie.

"I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere" Stan lee

[@terynmallory9764]

Lmao

[@robertfalcone3025]

Im definitely looking forward to a Part 2 to this Sandman video..especially the more recent story illustrated by Chris Bachalo were he's losing control of his body's sand particles... also we need a video about Paste Pot Pete AKA The TRASPSTER!

[@Jezee213]

He has Osborne hair!

[@teenageangst666]

This channel deservers more views aka more income. The level of passion and dedication for each episode should not go unpaid!

[@Ashguy733]

I love Sandman, the Marvel Two In One issue where he has a drink with Ben Grimm and wanting to change his life was a really nice development for his character along with being part of the Wild Pack and coming later to share a beer with the Thing when he was in the hospital, I just love the character.

[@sheltonterry6589]

WOW!!! I had that issue too!!! Loved all the cameos in it!!!

[@amanzeihedioha]

I wish his fall from heroism made more sense instead of "poof" "Evil again".

[@robhardingpoetry]

The latest issue of Amazing Spider-Man shows William Baker in prison voluntarily trying to subdue the villainous Flint Marko persona that has control of the sand powers.

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

Awww. I thought you were gonna include when he merged with Hydro-Man. That was an awesome story.

[@CorbinLeonard-rp4et]

I really like the the spectacular Spider-Man version of the villain it show the villain's anger

[@TopherHeYump]

Yes more sandman! I use to have comics when he was a good guy. Id love to hear about that

[@BrownMan-gg7dx]

Thank you for this video. Sandman is one of my favorite Spiderman villains and I was looking for a video explaining his origin to learn more about him. Love how he had that same stripe green shirt and groves in his hair even as a child. Awesome all the way around

[@thepanelbiter9915]

I’d love a part 2. I really like Sandman, but admittedly I like the later stories with him far more than the 60’s-70’s. He has such a bizarre history with teams too.

[@christopherulichney]

I love the classic Ditko Spider-Man villains, and Sandman is one of my favorites. I always preferred his green shirt look over his Frightful Four Super-Villain costume. I absolutely want to see more of the Sandman. You didn't get anywhere near his turn to the good side from his later years. My suggestion for a future video is the Alpha Flight member SASQUATCH. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!

[@DearBoi-mg2fb]

The shirt is number one but the frightful four outfit is legendary also

[@vincentfranklin17]

Sandman is one of my favorite Spider-Man foes, also one of my favorite Fantastic Four foes.

[@Dragondude2525]

Wait. I just saw your view counts. Been watching you for months, it’s insane you don’t have over 100,000 views each video. You really deserve so much more!

[@Hulkzilla0]

Awesome! Love Sandman!

[@charlesjohnson536]

THIS CHANNEL IS 'EXCELSIOR' 👍 ..

[@chriscripplercruz1833]

The funny thing about this video is now the popular kids are the ones with good grades and have high intelligence instead of the jocks. I think it's because of how much technology has advanced in the past 20 years I coached cross country for 7 years at a middle school so I learned it through that

[@HenryCovertsDeepImages]

Incredible and very thorough video, sir. Ditko's character has indeed had a long and fascinating run.

[@osiawideman4851]

The Sandman is one of my favorite Marvel Villains,when I saw him become a Avenger, I was mind blown

[@johnpittsii7524]

Thanks for the amazing video ❤

[@maxiemaxwell550]

I'm surprised you didn't say "the Frightful Four FINALLY fled." Seriously, man, you've gotta up that alliteration game if you're gonna swing & soar like Stan!

[@Frenchy_47]

Marvel definitely needs to update on Sadmans design, the green shirt has always been fine to me but that weird Osborn hairstyle just needs to go away.

[@johnpenley]

Yet another good origin vid. Nice job.👍

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video? Since you did history of Sandman, Are you going to do history of Cyclone, Hydro Man and Molten Man along with the Elementals(Hellfire, Magnum, Hydron and Zephyr)? Are you going to do history of the Frightful Four just like how you did the history of the Sinister Six?

[@infamoswordz]

Nice character choice for a video. Yes keep the Sandy tale going. Also may I suggest hydroman for the next subject? Nice video.

[@Reddotzebra]

I never thought this would be the takeaway from learning the background story of a character I didn't know much about but... He sure has a habit of accidentally walking in on his old buddies sleeping with his family members, doesn't he?

[@robhardingpoetry]

More Sandmsn please! Great episode!

[@joeldeeter9798]

please continue :) I love you videos

[@gordenz24]

Yes, please do a part 2 of Sandman

[@bigfootmenaceormisundersto1479]

Great video. Please do a part 2.

[@quentinfogger5755]

Are you going to do history of Ironheart, M'Baku, Namora, Attuma and Shuri as the Black Panther since they played a major role in the Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie?

[@kimbelsimpson7535]

I remember The Sons of the Tiger from the pages of Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu back in the 70s.

[@jakeproven256]

Cute story, my first exposure with Sandman was the Spider-man 3 movie, I remember him being in a few marketing for the movie, I remember one day at a doctors office during that time before the film came out, I was talking with someone from school, and I mentioned Sandman being in the movie then the other kid said "Oh, you mean Venom!" I remember being super confused at the time, me being a seven year old I actually thought Sandman and Venom were the same character, even though even back then I knew the name venom didn't make sense for a guy with sand powers. It wasn't until a little bit later I learned who venom was, and it all made sense now.

[@ThandoMashoko818]

Yes please I would like to hear more

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of Ironheart, Amatsu-Mikaboshi, Arno_Stark Iron Man, Squirrel_Girl, Constrictor, Deathlok, Amadeus_Cho, the Griever, Pepper Potts AKA Rescue and the Agents of Atlas along with Crescent, Morgan_Le_Fey, White Fox and Luna Snow?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Can you do history of the Living_Brain, the Elementals, Cyclone, Hydro Man, Molten Man, Puck, Ahab, Rom_the_Spaceknight, Stingray, Noh-Varr Marvel_Boy, Starbrand, Nightmask, Ava Ayala the White Tiger, Crossfire, Living Laser, Century, Lore and Technovore?

[@ziveisenstodt2477]

Would love a pt 2. I really like good guy Sandman

[@angelcastaneda529]

I kind of wished we saw James Cameron’s Spider-Man movie, in which Sandman was going to be one of the villains.

[@thestephenhour7806]

I would like to see a video on the enforers, they are one of my favourites in spideys rogues gallery

[@matthewtobar3049]

Yep a part 2 on how he reformed

[@Optmius-Primacronus-q2p]

This costume should appears in the MCU!😊

[@quentinfogger5755]

So when are you going to do history of Zora_Vukovic Victorious since you did the history of Dr_Doom?

[@pikkdogs]

Kind of the lost Spider-Man villain. Since he didn’t appear in the 90s tv show, he isn’t as beloved as the other villains. I’ve always loved Hydroman more than Sandman. As a side note, If anyone plays Marvel United, Sandman is one of my favorite villains there.

[@omarvelez709]

Please make part 2 🙏🏻

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of the Elementals(Hellfire, Magnum, Hydron and Zephyr), Bastion, Master Mold, Nimrod, Inferno, Zora_Vukovic Victorious, Night Nurse, Lady-Lotus, Sundragon and Phyla_Vell along with the Supreme Intelligence, Puppet_Master, Diablo, Mole_Man and Angel Salvador/Tempest along with Exodus and Ex-Nhilo?

[@quentinfogger5755]

Excluding the live action version of Sandman from the Raimi trilogy, Which movie or TV Show do you think did a great job in portraying him? Which actor do you think should play him in the MCU?

[@TheOvervoid]

Please continue Sandman's story 🙏

[@trexadvent4726]

Can you do history of Shroud, Master Pandemonium, Sleepwalker, D'Spayre, Lilith, Chthon, Mephisto, Black heart, Dormammu, Doyle Dormammu, Clea, Nightmare and Pkzkrfmknna along with Crystal, Magma and Vance_Astrovik AKA Justice?

[@trexadvent4726]

Are you going to do history of lesser known characters like Rom_the_Spaceknight, Stingray, Ultimo, Inferno, Zora_Vukovic Victorious, Flerken, Blacklash, Deathlok, Elematrix, Vertigo, Ahab, Speed freak, Masked Raider, Red_Wolf, Tarantula, Forge, Bishop, Titanium_Man, Crimson Dynamo, Dreadknight, Deathcry, Kobik AKA the Cosmic Cube, Blizzard, Avril Kincaid Quasar, Starbrand, Nightmask, Bastion, Master Mold, Nimrod, Starhawk, Fixer, Whirlwind, Chemistro, Whiplash, the Controller, Madam_Masque, Count_Nefaria, Ava Ayala the White Tiger, Crossfire, Living Laser, Century, Lore and Technovore?

[@jackieanderson9408]

This was sweet 🎂

[@trexadvent4726]

Does Sandman who got burned into a glass sculpture looking similar to Diamondhead? Can you do history of Diamondhead? Does Sandman look powerful in that green suit which makes his body feel solid?

[@CarlosSpears138]

Part two please.

[@Uatu-the-Watcher]

“Malcontent” Buddy. If it’s not intentional, make it so. Using words like that, and other embellishments you provide, sounds like the narration blocks Stan would write. Lean ever so slightly in that Stan Lee bombastic narrative style. It fits the content and is cool. Keep it subtle, but keep it up. Thanks, man. :-)

[@jalenikezeue4114]

⭐👍🏿⭐ What Can I Say Flint is amazing who would of thought The Sandman would Become an Avenger

[@manveltutundjyan4933]

please make another video on sandman

[@kevinboutwell]

aw yeah enter sandman

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think is the best thing about Sandman in the comics compared to other members of the Sinister Six and the Frightful Four? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?

[@nooctip]

A video on the Bigman? That would be big. With your biggest views. But first Sandman part 2.

[@manveltutundjyan4933]

please make a video on the crime bosses

[@trexadvent4726]

Is Sandman better off with either the Sinister Six or the Frightful Four? Do you think he's better off as a Fantastic Four villain instead of being a Spider-Man villain with how overpowered he is towards the web Slinger?

[@jamesthomas5109]

19:16 Yes 😊 @MerryMarvelite

[@jwappel3068]

I want to hear about crime master and big man.

[@tdon39]

He liked sand sculptures while he was a kid.How contrived.

[@Reddotzebra]

It always annoys me that noone ever uses the full titles of The Tenacious Trapster and the Wingless Wizard at the same time, they got alliterative matching monikers and they never get any recognition for it even when they team up. XD

[@Vegeta-k9o]

Wait a sec was that the gamma bomb? Cause that sounds like the gamma bomb.

[@comicbookshopofdoom8160]

Yes ! THE BIG MAN vs. THE CRIMEMASTER! DO IT.

[@leeconlan9522]

Well how do you try bring up DC stories as well

[@lilcosmic8710]

can someone please tell me what comic is the thumbnail of this video?

[@lilcosmic8710]

its soo important i grew up with that exact same comic i must know !!

[@quentinfogger5755]

If no prison can hold the Sandman back then, How come they didn't leave him on a deserted island or a giant hourglass?

[@bernardfrazier7377]

How about the origins of the Crime-Master and the Big Man.

[@Bisgaard91]

Crimeboss vs crimemaster!!

[@Dynamo001]

I can't stand rewrites of origins. The arrogance of some of these jackass writers holds no bounds.

[@robertfalcone3025]

Damn.. the Sandman needs better LUCK with women.. that Marcy cheated on him TWICE!😂

[@caldadextra2063]

Wait, did he know about the existence of Kane Marko?

[@Howlabunga]

And then he died. No seriously, Sandman’s dead now. Not an actor who played him, the actual character. Rest in peace, buddy

[@quentinfogger5755]

What was up with William Baker having a crush on his teacher and him having his girlfriend cheating on him twice? Was it shocking that he assaulted his football coach?

[@adamtucker669]

what is up with his hair?

[@BillPassmore]

he learned to fight like sand as a kid before becoming sandman.... lol riiiight

[@DevonJohnson-n7v]

John Cena would totally crush the role as Sandman in the MCU there's no question

[@TeresaCabreraAliaga]

John cena would be appropriate

[@TeresaCabreraAliaga]

Te enteraste de john cena sin ropa en los oscars 😅

[@quentinfogger5755]

John Cena as Sandman would be awesome if he got a role in the MCU

[@barrymaaslow3480]

Ooof! The first origin story is...lol...wellll, it's absurd.

[@barrymaaslow3480]

He spent a MONTH training to move like sand...? LOL

[@jakeproven256]

I have to admit, I've never been a fan of the armor Sandman got in the fantastic four comics, it looks too cosmic and just not Sandman to me.

[@georgelove980]

Yeah u starting to rush these videos for sure now, yo episodes too short for u to be uploading once a week

[@raspberryjamgamer]

First

[@Sciencechem1997]

[@moonprincesst.s.h.4ever115]

GREAT VIDEO! I always wanted to know about the origin of Marvel's Sand Man, especially since the 2007 Spider-Man 3 movie. 🕷🦸🏻‍♂🎥
