A little bit, I wouldn’t say it’s nearly as bad as Spider-Man. With Ben, it’s more like “Here’s a sort of what-if scenario.” With Spider-Man, it’s “here’s the absolute worst thing we can do to someone because we feel we have to at all points of the day”

[@moonwhooper]

[@bleach9520]

@@rynemcgriffin1752In my opinion, I feel like some people over exaggerate on how bad Spider-Man’s life is. To me his life is pretty decent. Sure he loses his loved ones and has bad things happen to him which is still terrible. But It’s apart of being a Hero. If I were to choose who has the worst life, would probably be Wolverine. Because every year when it’s his Birthday SaberTooth comes and makes his life a living hell. The Thing. Because he feels alienated by people that he has once lived with. And that alienation causes him to disconnect from his teammates/friends. I know that in a majority stories Spider-Man has suffered, but can we at least not act like he’s the only hero that has suffered casualties or harm inflicted by someone. Especially in other stories like, Punisher vs The Marvel Universe, Marvel Zombies and more.

Him telling her the last few weeks were special is the worst part of this to me.

Despite how she treated him in the end she still made him feel happiness for the first time in a long time, and having it ripped away like that is just devastating.

[@tron-a-con3700]

The fact she cries after hearing him say "You could have just asked..." that shows at least in my view she realises she's a horrible person and knows she cannot undo the damage done.

[@jiminycriket]

Bet she still uses that skin sample to get rich, though. 😎

[@Azteceda]

It looks like she tried to hurt him deliberately so he'd react angrily, letting her feel right for judging him based on his looks alone. Since he reacted to being hurt so deeply by literally giving her what she wanted even after being devastated like that, I think you're right. She was forced to acknowledge that he was truly a decent person inside and out, and that she had done everything in her power to show how cruel she could be to someone who truly cared about her. After all, what kind of person does that to someone? A monster.

One thing I don't get is why, in the Marvel Universe - where there are so many mutants and aliens and other strange creatures - the Thing is seen by the public as an unspeakable monster. I'd wager he's less frightening looking than many who don't get the same "ahhhh, monster!" storylines

[@jamesroad316]

Probably because most of them look human. In the xmen, they have ways to hide their powers, avengers are basically celebrities, and others don't really care. The thing has no way to hide his powers and people will always be afraid of others who look different

[@nursenic03]

I think it’s cause bro just walks through the middle of New York. There’s bound to be someone freaked out. But the fact he talks completely normal kinda ruins it for how often it happens to him.

[@Espadasilenciosa]

This story is pretty dark for Ben, but in others he can show his face without causing a ruckus. He is quite a celebrity, like the rest of the 4F, and a big part of NY is used to his looks. I guess the problem is people from outside NY. Also, there are many people that hadn't any real contact with mutants and aliens besides the TV, so it's understandable they react extremely when they finally met one.

[@BadassHater1]

@@jamesroad316 Aren't F4 also celebrities? They have their own HQ in the penthouse of Baxter Building, they do not have secret identities, all of that.

It does happen. It's happened for decades. And given human nature, it'll probably happen until the human race snuffs itself out.

I hate to give you ANOTHER Thing comic to check out, but Marvel Two-In-One Annual #7 from 1982 has maybe my favorite Thing story, with him boxing an alien for the fate of the world. Whether or not you make a video about it (although I'd love to see one), you should definitely read it if you haven't. Seems up your alley.

[@mitchfletcher2386]

I remember that. It was the inspiration for the Dial M for Monkey episode "Rasslor".

[@Myusollo]

@@mitchfletcher2386 THAT was the show! I saw that as a kid before I came across the comic, but I couldn't remember the name of it. Thanks!

[@noirangel6416]

As a kid, I prefered Johnny Storm cause he had cool fire powers. As an adult, I greatly repect Ben Grimm more than most comic characters.

[@spencerjohnston5969]

Omg omg this is the comic that got me into it all, I remember being like 7 and my parents tossed a couple comics into my room. Most of them were what I expected, good guy beats bad guy, everyone is happy until I saw this and it being so dark but edgy and cool just got me hooked right away. The Thing has always been in my top 5 and I’ll always come back to this comic as a reason why, the depth and character development is perfect.

[@maxryan9052]

I always liked that the Thing had his wife in the movies. It was nice to see him have somebody love him despite his appearance for once.

I just discovered this channel, I had no idea that there was even one person in the world like me who considers Ben Grimm their favorite hero. Since I was 3 I was asking my Dad and Mom for toys, comics, and such of this beautiful Orange Rocked heart of gold hero. I'm 30 and that hasnt changed. I love this guy. I'm still sad that when i was a kid i gave away my favorite foot tall Ben Grimm figire to my younger cousin trying to be generous only to find out he threw it away couple years later.

[@enjoysuon]

you don't understand how crazy it is when you feel wanted and vulnerable just for it to be a facade

[@bluebladegaming5409]

I can 100% relate to him, I know EXACTLY how he feels....

[@R_AM02]

I connected with this. I got called... a lot of things growing up, and I'm used to people looking at me weirdly. I used to play into it so that people would leave me alone. So I know it hurts like a bitch. And when you're that low, people will just take advantage. I wish I could give him a hug

[@twoshirts1842]

I like the little videos. I like the long videos too. Especially when they are summaries of comics this fucking heart wrenching.

[@TheSaltedIceCream]

2:15 ofc he is 6ft tall i'm not surprise

[@Amazaeloldman]

I recall the first time Rogue fought him, she absorbed his powers expecting him to be a bad person, and feeling surprised he was a really good man.

[@DarknetDude]

I was just browsing comic KZbin when I came across your channel, and Jesus, you actually bummed me out. But at least you earned a subscriber.

[@CMCAdvanced]

All this material and they can't make a good movie. Imagine being so shit at your job. That girl is a monster

[@litiangparra6799]

Not my boi, not Ben, ever since i was in middle school i related more to Ben after what happened to me, two girls did a prank on me with one saying they liked me and the other recorded, and when it was all said and done they she said "oh come on, you didnt actually think i liked you?" Witch just broke me

[@ltrikky6559]

I feel like This story is super relatable to modern dating also…. Which makes it even worse ;(

[@ghosthood7294]

Thing, hulk and Spiderman.... really can't take a break

[@Bobinator300]

The thing got turned into a chair in Fortnite

[@polarisnorth5506]

Damn, I found this comic at a flea market when I was younger, can’t believe it showed up here on your channel!

[@firmak2]

the Ben hate never makes sense in a Marvel or DC universe.

[@Scarbearer]

Oh god.... I remember stumbling on this comic once on the Marvel website at random. Man it punches right in the feels.

[@WeirdCrusader]

0:47 that cover is nasty work 😂

[@Jayden-ft2is]

Atrocious work 😂

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

Damn, that was a real downer.

[@bastait]

can you imagine being a mugger and then out of nowhere a guy who has punched galactus breaks up your mugging like man.

[@jamesroad316]

Spiderman: first time?😢
