Same ❤️❤️

[@cosmic-xander2386]

​@@joshuataylor7443this is accurate but his Archangel persona is now under control so he has more useful and cool powers (from his techno-organic wings). Plus he reminds me of the Valkyries from the GOD OF WAR video game franchise. Plus I love birds and he has interesting characteristics of birds of prey. AND I'm a sucker for winged humanoids

[@ATL13n]

My introduction to Angel was in Marvel Fanfare#1. A two part story in the Savage Land team up with Spider-Man. Took me years to find issue#2, but seeing Angel put me back onto the Xmen and the rest is history! Thanks for another great video!

[@alexandrefrauches132]

When the MCU introduce the X-men, I hope Angel is part of team and give him a "Anakin journey" going from loyal member (1st film) to lose his wings and become Archangel (2nd film) and, in the end, have his moment of redemption (3rd film). I also hope they introduce Psylocke and explore her romance with Warren (allowing the X-men films to give the spotlight to other couples besides Scott, Jean and Logan love triangle).

[@christopherbennett5858]

Depends on which Psylocke it is. Betsy or Kwannon. Frankly, if we want to explore his descent, Candy Southern would probably the best of the love interests to use.

[@andrewcabral963]

For real man he's an OG member of the X-Men and the 90's cartoon don't even have him as one of the founding members it's just Cyclops, Ice Man, Beast and Jean Grey.

[@antwan1357]

I really think Angel has a lot of untapped potential , In DC comics they are not afraid of using Christian religious themes but in Marvel Comics I don't think the religious angel aspect that any sane person would compare Warren to would happen in the marvel universe . In real life though a man flying with angel like wings would have religious cult like vibe following him around.

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

They tried it in Evolution and/or the second movie. It was proven a bad concept and subsequently abandoned.

[@tomgebarowski8156]

It's an interesting concept considering his codename. I wonder how a new plot would go if he became "born again" in Xmen.

[@jonharrison9222]

The Purifiers and William Stryker seemed to use plenty of Christian imagery, themes and…tendencies.

[@jico5147]

@@Joseph_Drew_IIIit’s not a bad concept it just wasn’t used well, like a lot of other aspects of those movies

[@Joseph_Drew_III]

@Jico In-universe, christians hunt mutants on a consistent basis. They will never see Warren as an actual angel.

[@christopherulichney]

All of the original X-Men have tragic life stories, but I think Angel wins the prize for most tragic. Since you mentioned her in both of the last 2 videos, I think it's time that MOONDRAGON got her own video. And if you have time, RED NORVILLE still needs a video too. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

[@OnionSavoya-gm6op]

Everybody hates Apocalypse but it looks like he helped heal Angel.

[@jefffowler96]

I've always thought that they've always did his wings wrong. When not in use they should hang over his shoulders like the Gargoyles back in the 90s.

[@ericw8478]

One of my favorite suspensions-of-disbelief is how Angel's wings fit thru his shirts.

[@mikeval1525]

Early comics had it that he would put a harness to hide his wings.

[@ericw8478]

@@mikeval1525 I inderstand the harness covering his wings while in civvies. Its when he's in costume and the wings are visible over whatever top he's wearing.

I have always liked Angel and felt that he should have had better power set, like healing others, healing factor that rivals wolverine's, light manipulation, retractable wings, tall to animals, just to name a few

[@cujohjosefumi1252]

That's the reason why he was transform into Archangel in the first place, the editors thought that he was being left behind in terms of power and powerscaling so they transform him to give him new powers

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think Angel/Archangel would be like if he didn't lose his parents? How many of you remember seeing Warren's dad having his son's wings removed against his will leading him to take up the offer from Mister Sinister to become Archangel during the Wolverine and the X-Men show?

[@StayVCA98]

Definitely a Fan of this one since I like angelic archetypes characters in general, I would say I kinda want to make his powers more convenient if ever, like maybe instead of like reverting between forms, just make him into a Four winged instead, one pair with normal looking wings, the other is a metal one but both possesses it's good qualities like the feathered is as strong as steel as the other and etc, and to also give him some form of Energy Manipulation and Healing Abilities, as well as able to hide them too!!

[@trexadvent4726]

[@christopherbennett5858]

Honestly, I’ve recently gotten back into X men with the Krakoa Era and the Cerebro podcast. So, if Angel is in a movie, you know what would be the best way to humanise him? Bringing Candy Southern in. Maybe even establish a new version of the defenders where she’s the leader.

[@buddyzilla4557]

This history more than any other makes me feel drunk listening to it. I feel this REALLY hammers in just how much the creators just chose whatever the heck they thought up while on a half hour sleep and possibly a drug by the same name. Comics man..beautiful insanity. 💛

[@quentinfogger5755]

I'm shocked Angels dad died very early on, in other X-men iterations, his father is alive and very mutant phobic, he's even the one who created the cure.

[@crazyramus]

That was dope

[@SuperboyPrime-ux9nc]

Hi, could you tell me what I can read of Warren? I've only read the X-Force comics.

[@kyledamron]

There are so many years and x-men teams the MCU can choose from. I think going straight to the X-Men TAS/97 roster might not be the right move. If they start from the beginning they can do so many movies and it would allow for the cast changing after a few films without multiple actors playing the same character seeing as there are so many x-men line-ups. Starting from the beginning would also put a movie or 2 in between Hugh Jackman's Wolverine and the inevitable recasting of the character.

[@funkmastaC]

Angel sure does have a complicated history.

[@cosmic-xander2386]

Not unlike Hawkman, Hawkwoman and Hawkgirl from DC 😂😂 What is it with main stream winged superheroes and complicated origin stories/storylines

[@quentinfogger5755]

What do you think Angel/Archangel would be like if he had powers like energy blasts and communicating with birds?

[@lordsxman]

What about when he had healing abilities? When and how did that come about???

[@trexadvent4726]

What would happen if Angel/Archangel was comparing wings with Darkhawk, Sam Wilson and Joaquin Torres even though they were artificial to see who's was better? Can you do history of Darkhawk?

[@TheBestEverEverEver]

The pronunciations in this video are wild

[@stationDXG]

Didn't Warren use the light seed to finally get rid of his Dark Angel persona?

I like the angel as is. I think archangel is a poorly executed reboot of the character. Archangel is an edgelord, and we've got enough of those in superhero comics now.
