Love me some Beta Ray Bill - the way he conducts his affairs, with such honor and no BS, is amazing. His character really opened up the opportunity for other characters in the Thor mythos.
My only regret is that no one will understand of our orange horse boy once he makes his MCU debut. He’ll be the fifth person to lift Mjolnir and the second wielded of Stormbreaker. In the comics, dude was the first in comic history to lift the hammer besides Thor. He was designed to look like a monster because Simonson didn’t want it to be a typical pretty looking good guy who picked up the hammer. He reached into molten metal to make the Stormbreaker specifically his.
He did just get a power boost he basically went into hell to claim the twilight blade, which considering his original connections with surtur it's probably a better weapon for him than storm breaker was
@@Jayming42 I thought he covered it on the channel already but I can't find it at the moment, the start of it is covered on the channel with beta Ray bills king in black tie in
@@eluminaryxarrais7735 that’s what was SUPPOSED to happen but then ofc Jason Aaron came and fucked it up and made him fodder against the sentient Mjolnir motherstorm who was merged with Mangog in Thor’s most recent run. Jason Aaron completely ignored the fact that the Twilight Sword can cleave through galaxies and the fact that Korbinites get stronger in hot environments, so the Twilight Sword SHOULD amp Beta Ray Bill’s natural abilities and powers as well as being a powerful weapon on its own…but, Jason Aaron….🤦🏾♂️
Love BRB because he wasn’t some sort of golden Adonis, or a Captain America like character, the one that was worthy ended up being this strange alien horseman that was the last line of defense for his race.
Love Beta Ray Bill and always preferred him to Thor. I like MCU Stormbreaker, but I always hated the fact they made it just an upgrade for Thor instead of bringing in BRB. Then the comics had to make it worse and have Thor destroy Bill's version... Then have Sif curve Bill... What did Bill do to deserve all that lol.
to be fair, the destruction of storm breaker in the comics was more so to do with thor going a bit overboard in the moment than anything to do with the mcu
Bill's debut still holds up to this day as just a great comic along with the rest of Simonson's run. But Godhunter might be in my top 5 and is woefully under appreciated. I had forgotten how impactful it was that Bill looked like a monster and was the first besides Thor to lift Mjolnir. I keep holding hope for him to debut in the MCU and it feels more and more possible as Thor becomes more cosmic, but I have no idea how he'd debut and be appropriately integrated with the current canon.
I’m fairly new to comics and collecting action figures. I had been very curious about Beta Ray Bill as I started seeing a lot more of him in Instagram posts. This is great!
My favourite beta ray bill moment was in Thor Disassembled, where he made his entry like a badass and obliterated Fenris the wolf , screaming "who dares lay hands on the mighty thor". Such a badass dude
I remember seeing BRB for the first time on Planet Hulk and instantly feel in love with him (pause) the way he throw hands , his not gaf no bs attitude. Dude just simply badass
I'm still waiting for the continuation of Beta Ray Bill's story after acquiring the Twilight Sword cause in the words of Rob, "that story.... was... Amazing!" lol
As a new-ish fan of comics in of in themselves, Beta Ray Bill is that Thor character that avid fans really, _really_ like. From what I've heard fans talk of the guy he seems like the ultimate Bro to Thor, being the kind of guy who's always there for him and is always straight and to the point. Basically a cool horse headed guy.
seeing that cover with "nothing can stop the juggernaut in a video about the first person to also be able to pick up mjölnir i got the stupidest idea. what happens when you lay mjölnir in juggernauts way. he isn't worthy so he can't move it but his entire identity is that you can't stop him moving so will he trip over the hammer and then just fly forward without losing speed as he can't be stopped by running into the hammer but he also can't move it away or break through it.
No he isnt worthy so he cant lift it or grab and weild it. You can alter its trajectory. Many many characters in the comics have deflected mjolnir. In the MCU Thanos, and The Acursed have deflected the hammer.
@@benvaun1330 you have it the wrong way areound. what i'm talking is juggernaut runs at mjölnir that lies on the ground as a tripping trap BECAUSE he can't lift it
It’s a question that has been asked before and has been ongoing for a few years. The answer is it depends, are we talking old school Thor and Juggernaut or are we talking Eight day or Trion Juggernaut and the current mjolnir origin? These things would effect which would win let alone the question does Juggernaut have enough time to move out of the way
Beta Ray bill to slept on I can't wait to see some of the most legendary comic book characters come about in up and coming marvel movies and other new movies to come
I dunno you if you didn't read it or if you left it out intentionally but Bil now wields Surtur's Twilight sword and it AMAZING (from the most recent Beta Ray Thor series which is a spin off of Donny Cates' Thor run)
I can only imagine you were as upset as I was when Vision became the the first and picked up Mjolnir in Age of Ultron. In all the MCU films to date, in my opinion, that was the biggest misstep. Beta Ray Bill alone should hold that honour.
I appreciate your vids, Rob! They're so informative and appreciate your layout of Beta Ray! He's long overdue to join the MCU....but will they do him justice??? If he's on par with or even stronger than Thor, He should be very impressive!
So, scuttlebutt is often referred to as a water fountain in todays Navy terminology, but in old "traditional Navy" terms, scuttlebutt is equal to the rumors onboard a ship.
I love me some "Thorse" and Skuttlebutt. The last I read with him in the main Thor comics, I was heartbroken seeing Sif do him dirty by denying him that Asgardian Ass for not being able to transform back to his Korbin form due to the destruction of Stormbreaker. 😞 Bad writing on that part. Sif wouldn't give a jot about the looks compared to a Man's fighting spirit and honor. 😤
Someone who saw the movie told me he’s not in it. Someone get me on the line with Lord Feige! This is my favorite Thor character I just want to see him on screen!!!!
Bill seems like a samurai that's lost his daimyo. Wandering the universe, looking for purpose, for his path. Seeing him as a guardian of the galaxy made me say YES!!
Beta Ray Bill is great, the first time I seen him was in the Avengers animated series. His origin was basically the same as it always it, except Odin summons Thor and BRB had his hammer so it was him that was summoned and he thought they were enemies because there magic looked like Surturs energy ect..... but the more I read of him, the more I liked the character! I didn't know of the Alpha Ray character, I wanna read that story!
Love BRB because he doesn’t question his honor. He lives the Asgardian ideal because he knows it’s what’s right not because his gods told him to or because he the son of Odín. He has flaws but that doesn’t get in the way of his duty
Odin was so impressed by Bill he made a Hammer for him Idk what it is about him. The design or the backstory but I've always found Beta Ray Bill much more interesting than Thor. An Alien bestowed with the Magical powers of Asgard
I honestly don't care much about Thor as a character but Beta Ray Bill is a guy I can actually admire even though he is pretty much horse-thor, given what he overcomes and how he's looked at, both in and out of comics.
Great video. Beta ray should have been more than a vet statue in ragnarok by now. I hope marvel gets on the ball. Since phase 4 they may be going full steam ahead as far as shows on the D+ channel but the movies have become 2-2.5 hour long intro stories with some exposition of what’s going to happen by time I hit 56. Currently 33. I don’t know if they’ve realized that their actors aren’t going to be young enough to play the same roles by time house of M or secret wars completes.
I wonder if Tom D'Falco's Thor run was used in Marvel Ultimate Alliance. I know people are probably tired of hearing this, but I gotta say *Cosmic Ghost Rider* has the sickest designed Marvel character I've seen. He beats out *Asgardian Venom* (War of the Realms) imo.
Also beyond omega level: Gwenpool. Ik there’s not a lot of source material for her but after reading unbelievable gwenpool, yeah she’s definitely beyond omega level
I feel like maybe they wanted to put him into the marvel cinematic universe, but their budget probably couldn’t account for extra cost it would take to create his character on screen.
My mates favourite Character is bill so he is really hoping he is in TLAT. As well we made r/Thor_beta_ray_bill. So we are fans. Hope your enjoying the holiday Rob.
I mean what you say makes sense, many writer dont know what to do with him. Even his love intrest sif was like that, befire she got the role of hiemdal. Hell the writers arent even sure about which firearm he currently posses, him having storm breaker in reckoning war and twilight sword during the thor run of him losing All father odin and lead to the smashtronaught run. They could keep him at rest like sentry till a proper plot narrative is available.
The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon did such a great job with Beta Ray Bill and the story direction. I wish the Surtur saga would have been finished.
Still like the comicbook characters, but they've gone through so many permutations ; I no longer recognize them, and I can't afford the comicbook costs anymore,
He is one of my favorite characters simply because he goes so hard.
I am pretty cool 😎
Pause ⏸ 😅
And thats the only way he knows to go! My favorite Marvel hero.

Love BRB because he wasn’t some sort of golden Adonis, or a Captain America like character, the one that was worthy ended up being this strange alien horseman that was the last line of defense for his race.
And he isn’t some Mary Sue who just comes in and is insanely powerful because of “reasons.”
Well said.
Hell yeah more Thor content. Been waiting on Beta Ray Bill. Love his character
Thanks from the man himself

I want my stormbreaker back.
When Thor got stormbreaker in endgame I was soooo hyped and nobody knew why. I was sad about that lol.
Rob I’ve been watching your videos for some time now & the one thing I can say is I respect the amount of comic book knowledge you posses.
Lots of respect

Your goddamn right it was 🙌🏽
Beta Ray Bill would be a 10x more popular character if he had his own unique costume and look (not Thor)

I did love that they had the statue of Beta Ray Bill on the Grandmaster's tower in Thor: Ragnarok
I like that, it implied Bill was busy being a badass elsewhere
Love Beta Ray Bill, the newest series is sick, love the artwork by Johnson.
The fight with Surtur was pure awesomeness
I had fun acting in it haha
Was waiting for BRB backstop! Great content!
22:54 Damn Rob, you miss the Daniel Warren Johnson límited series of Beta Ray Bill on a quest for the Twilight Blade, was fenomenal
Broke my heart that there was no mention of the Annihilators

Mcoc introduced him after the we have been asking for years 🎉
Honestly, I love beta Ray Bill, comic book wise he's very interesting but my favorite showing of him so far has been planet hulk the animated feature
He probably could have been taken more seriously if he didn’t have such a silly name. It would be like naming the Hulk “Gamma Ray Gary”. 😂
😅
Nahh Beta Ray Bill’s name goes *HARD*
Love these videos so very much. Listen to them all the time. BRB is my favorite!
He prefers Beta Ray William. It's more civilized. Lol
Caught me off guard with that lol 😅
