who else thinks that Darwin's death in First Class is stupid? the guy can literally adapt to ANYTHING! his powers should have been able to find a way to adapt to Shaw's kinetic energy blast instead of being overloaded by it. They had one of the coolest characters and they killed him off to show how bad Shaw is. waste of a great character.
It is but the biggest plot hole to their immortality is that they can be killed if u can match said immortals power in regeneration in raw brute strength they can be killed
Kills me how when he fought The Hulk instead of his power like adapting some physical trait or ability to beat The Hulk it just goes "Nope" and teleports him away.
Flight or fight response. His instinct was flight, therefore that's why he teleported away. Had he felt the need to fight, he would have adapted to take on the hulk
I think Marvel can use the First Class move to bring Darwin in to the MCU with the other mutants. 1. Darwin falls into a stone stasis coma , simultaneously protecting against and feeding off of shaw’s energy. 2. With Darwin’s body dependent on energy it reaches out to the energy used when Tony snaps the infinity stones. 3. Upon connecting to the energy, Darwin’s body is recreated in the MCU and activating the mutant gene in the nearby residents.
Isn't this the same x-men that tried fighting the hulk, but was cut very short because his ability teleported him out of the situation, because there is no way his body can adapt fighting the hulk?
It's not that his body couldn't adapt, it just thought the best adaptation would be to teleport away from the Hulk. It was crazy but interesting at the same time, but we've also seen other characters just toy with Hulk too.
@@princeharris2660 thanks for that, I really hate the fact that in x-men: first class when dawin died because I'm pretty sure he could have survived eating havok's energy blast when Sebastien fed it to him
@@mr.hotcupofjoe6414 to be honest I think the writers knew Darwen was OP so they didn't want him to take the spot light by being able to fight everyone without dying. XD
@@Wolfbane1677 They could've just knocked him out in the script or something. This is a issue with the franchise. They only give few characters justice. Iceman, Storm, Colossus, Bishop, Cyclops and many more were never shown even half their potential.
@@princeharris2660 but I've got into a deep debate using Darwin's other feats as example and tbh it's because he couldn't adapt to hulk . Kinda like in dbz where ui last resort is to just sheild you when it knows it might not be able to protect you but it's gonna do it's best ae the sheild or Darwin teleporting . Because why didn't he just turn in a Spector form ? Or like literally pure energy that would counter the hulk ? His ability is limitless shown any other time until it comes to that . Or could it just be the actually entity or being that is hulk Darwin's ability is aware of and knows ultimately it's best choice is to just leave
I remember hearing that in the World War Hulk storyline in the comics, his body realised that the best way for him to survive a fight with The Hulk was...to just not fight The Hulk, so he spontaneously gained the ability to teleport and noped the hell out of there 😂😂
@@knova7597 maybe to make him more op in terms of offensive capabilities, like his powers mostly adapt him to survive, maybe under apocalypse, his powers may adapt to kill/end/eliminate the threat to him not just survive it
@@noelramirez9532 They were trying to show off that 'Woah this Shaw is too powerful. Able to kill someone supposedly immortal. Someone who's entire purpose is that he can't die.' Really I doubt the person that wrote him in even knew anything about him.
Basically the more you throw at him the stronger he gets. Whatever you come up with to kill him his body will adapt. That technically makes him one of the most powerful being in Marvel
the mental gymnastics that were done to kill him off in X-men first class is ridiculous...but suffice to say? they killed the one black dude in the group...and the ONLY other dude to die was the main antagonist....don't you think that's fucked up?
@@silverhawkscape2677 Yup, dude could withstand literal death touching him, which should kill literally anything that lives, but nope, some jackass who could manipulate kinetic energy or some shit, was able to do it with no effort.
Yeah and it also bad , for having him to be a taxi cab driver although he should be a high level genius intellect . But yeah that movie did him so wrong and badly. Maybe it because of his skin color.
You would think that his body would respond to the catastrophic emotional trauma his appearance caused him and he would evolve an aesthetic that met his emotional needs, like many different species of animals on this planet.
Morira? Morira McTaggert? Mo-eera? While I appreciate the pun in you calling her "She will die" (since she's a mutant who can resurrect).. her name is MOIRA. Moira McTaggert. You literally said it every way but right.
Darwin should have a son that is beyond omega level and has biokienisis, metamorphosis and everything to do with evolution and be way stronger than his father and can evolve other lifeforms not only mutants
Typical of these recap/explanation channels. They literally do the least amount of research and add words to their scripts when they dnt even kno the word.
Right and at the same time an genius level intellect user some how have to be an taxi cab driver . 🙄😏. The first class movie did him so wrong. It's not even funny
He had above average intelligence, but his powers gave him genius level intelligence in order to fulfil his wish of getting his mother to love him. His mother blamed his mutation in why his father left them, and that was his powers way of keeping him safe: by evolving an ability, that he believed would be useful to his mother, in order to gain her love.
I bet in the "main", when Thanos snaps, he just reconstitutes right afterwards, that is if his body just rejects/negates the snap altogether. I do also realize that Darwin wasn't in the main....just having fun.
This is why you need to have experienced comic book followers on the production team. So the cocky production team don’t kill off the black hero in 20 minutes of the film.
Well to say Darwin cracked genetics is a bit of a stretch. Humans were breeding dogs, work animals, and crop plant cultivars for many thousands of years before Darwin's birth. These simple agricultural efforts may not have been because the farmers knew what genes were....but they certainly understood characteristics were being passed from generation to generation.
so Darwin's powers allow him to adapt to anything the universe throws at him besides the movie first class which is kinda like he's cryptonite...he's mortal weakness he can't escape
This was probably Brubaker’s only real lasting or memorable contribution to the X-universe (He did some good work and issues , but his run was meh overall.). God knows that Vulcan sucks (WHY did they bring him back? Whyyyyy?).
The narrator needs to spend a little time on Google finding out how to pronounce a lot of words. He has a lot of talent but throughout the videos he stumbles over a lot of words. A couple of seconds before recording or rerecording after would make things a lot better for him. I only want the best for his career.
At the beginning of the video he said 'hearsay' which is a word but he was trying to say 'heresy'. The definitions are significantly different. It's kind of odd in his videos he speaks clearly and reads a script, but just randomly pronounces a word like someone who has never heard or spoken English. He should definitely look up any word he is not sure of and hear how it's supposed to be said and make notes. And another thing he needs to work on is pronouncing names of people, places, and things. Before doing any video any character, object of importance, or location should be looked up. Just because you have read it that way in your head for years doesn't mean it's correct.
Completely wasted potential of a character Actually there's so much stuff that could be done with x-men but they were wasted It's clear that Fox had no idea what they were doing
It’s kind of ironic that his appearance didn’t change into something more human with all the abuse I mean I’m no expert but wouldn’t it make sense for him to survive longer if people didn’t bully him? It’s like attacking an army soldier dressed in pink camouflage your obviously gonna see him
I swear i remember another character who was a geneticist who had almost the exact the same powers but was a villian (it wasn't High Evolutionary) and i cant remember where its from. It feels like one of the more short lived comics in marvel. I tried google and i cannot find it. It had to have been maybe 20 years ago?
The only thing I dont like about this video essay channel is the recaps and repeated information. But its a good channel with alit of stuff I didn't know about
>Darwin gets Hella's - goddess of death- touch of death >he gets some of her powers and survives >Sébastien makes Darwin eat a ball of kinetic energy >*dies* WHAT?
Would love to see the MCU have him show up out of nowhere from a ball of energy and say, "had some guy put a ball of energy in my mouth so my body became energy"
I don't like how he was treated in First Class it was my introduction to what would now be one of my favorite Marvel characters and even then I felt like he was misused
Considering how normal ppl are treated just for petty things like skin color, I think having ppl who were actually genetically different would lead to anarchy.
Here's a thought, if he can adapt to anything to the point where he can increase his intelligence because he wanted to impress his mom, why then can't he change his appearance to one his mom can accept, look like a handsome human boy, young man?
I do not believe in Darwinistic evolution, or evolution of any kind, but I do enjoy the character of Darwin a lot. Probably the most tragic background I've ever heard of in superhero fiction.
Omega level yeah he got ended so fast in that movie and he was a black dude He got killed before the title screen In X-Men First Class I was so F N mad
Awesome video. One of my favorite Marvel characters. This origin story was very emotional for me. And duck Fox fir how they portrayed the only male Black character in that Xman movie. The only character who would have survived that attack was killed and was black. Fuck you Fox. Thank you Marvelous!

who doesn't think its stupid?
If they didn’t kill him then there wouldn’t be any point to anymore cmen movies cause then he can just solo the verse
10:08 he explains it
Darwin literally is a immortal but First Class didn't know that
Fo sho they didn't mane
Maybe he still exists as pure energy haha
They did him so dirty so quick 🤣🤣🤣
But he died in the movie I was disappointed it's probably because of this immortality that made them kill him off in the movie...
Or probably because he was black
Kills me how when he fought The Hulk instead of his power like adapting some physical trait or ability to beat The Hulk it just goes "Nope" and teleports him away.
the only way to survive the hulk is to be somewhere else

No judgement btw

he could be in stories of beings trying to change and should or should not change and he helps or hurts them depending on who they are to him
Most insane pronunciation of Moira I've ever heard
Too bad they killed him off in the weakest way possible in the movie
In real life would humans hate mutants or be hopeful their children would be a mutant?
Considering how normal ppl are treated just for petty things like skin color, I think having ppl who were actually genetically different would lead to anarchy.
The movies did Darwin dirtier than WWE's booking of Finn Balor 😭
First class really treated bro like a throw away 🤦🏿♂️
I hope the MCU somehow rectify what they did to that man. They nerfed him worse than Deadpool on origins
Here's a thought, if he can adapt to anything to the point where he can increase his intelligence because he wanted to impress his mom, why then can't he change his appearance to one his mom can accept, look like a handsome human boy, young man?

Being black in a movie even if It’s not a horror movie and ur power pretty much makes u invincible u will still have a 95 percent chance of dying.
