Who is Marvel's "The Unseen?" Nick Fury's Curse & "Final Form"

This video explores the abilities, powers, and origin of the Marvel Comics character "The Unseen." From the S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Nicholas Joseph Fury Sr.'s use of extremely questionable means to confront threats to the Earth's safety leading him to take out Uatu the Watcher in an attempt to extract the valuable knowledge contained within his eye, the Avengers and other heroes learning that the Nick Fury they've known for decades was actually a Life Model Decoy (LMD) due to the real Fury's advanced aging after the life-preserving Infinity Formula within his blood was rendered ineffective, a brief confrontation with the heroes that led to Thor Odinson becoming unworthy, multiple Watchers showing up to curse Nick Fury for his many transgressions by making him a non-interference bound Watcher-like being named The Unseen, going on to have various adventures including breaking his given duty by assisting The Exiles in defeating the Time-Eater Galactus, Uatu resurrecting via The Unseen's eye after contact with ancient Watcher technology, to becoming the herald of Uatu in preparation for the return of "The First War." Let's take a close look at this mysterious Marvel anti-hero, and the powerful "final form" of the infamous Nick Fury. This includes a short, canon character biography and my own opinionated "Sage Rating," which I use to give ratings of comic book and science fiction characters.

Damn this Unseen storyline is complex. Excellent detailed breakdown.

[@NewSage]

I appreciate it, bro! 😎👊🏽

[@lucariomew365]

The Wreckoning War was honestly a bit of a mess, though I did like how they wrote Nick Fry throughout the mini-event. Hopefully, now that he's back to being the man on the wall (while still retaining his power as The Unseen), he'll show up in more stories again. For that matter, I kind of wish Marvel would also give Nick Fury Jr (son of OG Fury; he's an attempt to get MCU Fury into the comics) something to do.

[@blusterya6540]

Wow never knew Nick was so ruthless. Glad he's on the 616 side.

[@allenpackard4492]

Love it! So soothing bro...thank you!

[@kelvincherry769]

My dude great video. The edits are dope!

[@trexadvent4726]

What do you think Samuel Jackson's Nick Fury would say about this version of himself? Do you think we will see this version of Nick Fury in the MCU because of the Multiverse and which actor do you think should play him?

[@Sunstar808]

@trex advent If they did a staring MCU Nick Fury Sam Jackson Disney plus series this Unseen storyline would be dope.

[@Supremmo]

I don’t think they’ll go in this direction in the MCU.

[@jessemillan1385]

It's difficult to find an actor to play the white Nick Fury. But who should play him? Probably not David Hasselhoff.

[@NewSage]

🤔 MAYBE... Gerard Butler. But, TBH, I'm not sure.

[@kevynhansyn2902]

I believe David Hasselhof would have other words to say about that.

[@WarmLillie]

I guess you can say if you ever face the unseen You would never seen him coming…

[@NewSage]

😅👊🏽

[@kali3665]

When this happened, I always thought of it as the "Replacement Syndrome." Since most modern comics fans identify Nick Fury as being Samuel L Jackson, Marvel, in typical fashion, did everything to bring the Jackson Fury to the regular "616" universe. And such a replacement of a character usually requires utterly discrediting the original version and everyone who worked with him. So, Marvel effectively had to remove or kill off all of what amounted to the Steranko SHIELD regulars -- many from Fury's original Howling Commandos. Marvel then discredited the Contessa, one of the more interesting characters, by making her an enemy agent from the getgo (pathetic) and turn Dum Dum Dugan into an LMD (insulting). Lastly, they had to discredit Fury himself by completely upending his principles, or at least the principles he once espoused. Making him effectively the new Watcher never made sense, in my opinion, especially when the Watchers themselves probably knew quite well that Uatu wouldn't stay dead. The real curse was putting Fury, the man of action, into a position where he was incapable of taking ANY action. But, it didn't take long to get around this, and, of course, the Reckoning War storyline to all intents and purposes put an end to his role as The Unseen. How they're going to play off the new status quo of Fury effectively being an agent of Uatu may be interesting, but Fury worked best as the loner against the system, and I kinda wish they'd go back to that. The Jackson version of Fury is in the end a very different man than Fury Sr., and I think Marvel should play off those differences without all the cosmic power.

[@StunningSilken]

Right

[@GZP1023]

Actual comic fans have never accepted sam jackson as nick fury. Complete disgrace

[@sawboss5794]

The movies are ruining the comics.

[@mostmost1]

@@GZP1023 nonsense, real comic fans know the shows won't match the comics and Sam isn't far from the comics nick fury Jr at all

I was more than fine with Ultimate universe Nick Fury staying where he was and 616 Nick Fury staying the same. It was fine before, I don't know what happened.

[@korymcbride3137]

Another excellent banger to go into the archives. In Marvel Contest of Champions game when you kill the Samuel L. Jackson Nick Fury he comes back with less health but super strong they refer to the first death as his LMD Life Model Decoy. I never understood that reference until now. Always providing the clarity and the goods!!!

Its so interesting that the original Nick Fury we all know would become this, I never actually know that he has more stories after Original sin

[@mogunloye]

Love this one thanks for explaining this whole original Nick Fury situation!! Salute Fam I agree with the rating !!

[@antwan1357]

i feel like the writers for Nick Fury , and The Punisher lacked writing skills to write a good story for a nonpowered hero. So they wrote in powers when they should have been writing better stories.

[@NewSage]

[@kingsupreme3146]

You are very right my brother New Sage and I very much so agree the the Unseen along with this series the Original Sin proves that Nick Fury is a beyond savage; and in my opinion, has done a lot to make himself be underestimated. This dude has done and hide so much and this series reveals so much about the character; I really liked it. My question to you my brother how would you feel if they made a movie or MCU version of the Unseen with Samuel Jackson as him? My brother the greatness does not stop with you, I love it. Thank you again for sharing your blessing with us. All praise, glory and blessings be to the most high, awesome, loving, almighty, true and living GOD for all of HIS blessings that HE bestows upon us HIS family in CHRIST JESUS in the name of our Lord and savior JESUS CHRIST by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT. Again, I mean and say to you, I continue to and will always pray and ask of GOD that HE bless and always...forever shine upon / within you my brother New Sage (GOD bless you my brother truly in JESUS CHRIST name), keep shine brother, keep shining. Stay encouraged, keep inspiring all to greatness like you and stay frosty cause they don't get cooler than you...one love peace my brother, I say it again my brother, I may be repeating, but I mean every word; GOD bless you brother.
