      @kolins.4356 4 роки тому +2

      @@Miguelon88888 yeah I know, I’m just saying a modern day x-men or marvel game that has a comic or cell shaded aesthetic would be awesome to see in my opinion. I mentioned borderlands because the characters within those game are like mercenaries and deadly combatants that have superhuman abilities kinda like the x-force. Cable, Deadpool, domino, Shatterstar, warpath, bedlam, feral, moon star would be interesting characters to play. With this x-force video I put two and two together. For example, Skyrim is a good blueprint for a doctor strange or masters of the mystic arts game. Their are games that have mechanics and premises that would match well with a marvel inspired game.

    6:32 I know of a similar case which is the character Circuit Breaker who was a Transformers villain back when Transformers comics were being done by Marvel. As per their agreement, any character created for the Transformers comics would be owned by Hasbro. But the writer and creator of Circuit Breaker didn't want her to be owned by Hasbro, so he had her put into one panel of Secret Wars II. Marking that as her first appearance before being in Transformers and thus owned by Marvel, not Hasbro. And after the run of Transformers under Marvel ended, they did nothing with her. Which is unfortunate because she's a pretty cool character and I could see Marvel repurposing her as a villain in the MCU. She'd basically be very bad news for anyone in a powered suit like Iron Man, War Machine, Black Panther, Ant-Man, The Wasp, Falcon, Spider-Man(if he's in one of the suits Tony gave him), and probably even Vision.

    I started reading Uncanny X-men and New Mutants in the late 80's. I do admit that I became a huge fan after the Xtinction Agenda when the Xbooks got renamed. I still read Xmen (blue team) because I've always been a big fan of Psylocke, Wolverine, Gambit (I used to call them the "grimey squad"). But I would ride my bike to the comic store to see what Shatterstar and Cable were up to before I touched any other Xbook.

    Actually, the X-Force members from DEADPOOL 2 are all from different points in X-Force history. Domino was a founding member, debuting (apparently) in NEW MUTANTS #98 (1992), while Shatterstar appeared in the following issue. Bedlam only showed up in X-FORCE #82 (1998). The acid-spewing Zeitgeist made his only appearance in X-FORCE #116 (2001l.

  • @Lank55
    @Lank55 2 роки тому

    Just watched this, and perhaps someone noted it below, but yes: X-Force #1 was a huge seller because it was a #1 issue of a NEW X-title. But another reason? Pure marketing. Each issue came in a sealed bag, and in each bag was a little card with an X-Force character on it. There were five cards in total. As a kid, that meant that I had to (yes, HAD TO) buy all five, PLUS one that I could gently razor blade open at the top to actually read the book. So, I bought (and still have) six bleeping copies of that book.
    The same goes for the new X-Men book. I forget the number, but Jim Lee put out like 5 variant cover that, when placed side-by-side made a large mural, which was also available in a special issue with the whole mural on a gatefold cover. Needless to say, I bought all of those, too.
