    I think you oversimplified the concept of the Living Tribunal. The Tribunal is not restricted only to magical imbalances. I agree that he did not stop Thanos in the Infinity Gauntlet. According to the comics and Marvel's official website, his reasoning was: "Although Eternity argued that Thanos was seeking to supplant its role in the universe, the Living Tribunal simply observed that it was the nature of all life, and it was allowed to be played out. However, when the gems wounded up in the custody of Adam Warlock, the Living Tribunal ordered that the gems be divided." When Warlock had the stones, the Tribunal did intervene and divided them, it invalidates your whole argument about magic. The Tribunal also intervened in the case of Protege whose powers seemed innate and not magical.

    • @AllYourPals
      @AllYourPals 6 років тому +16

      jamesleung0 I imagine rob is going off what the tribunal himself said in his first appearance. It was an an encounter with doctor strange where he explained his role and specified that he WAS in fact a judge of magic, although in later story’s writers seem to have just ignored this particular fact. So while rob is not technically wrong, he’s not right either

    Actually, the Living Tribunal does intervene in events outside magic. He tried to stop Protege, but failed when Protege copied his powers as well. He didn't stop Thanos in Infinity War because it was basically natural selection, and he who had enough power to overthrow a cosmic entity was considered to be just the rule. The superiors replaced the lesser.

  • @Strawberrymilkdrink
    @Strawberrymilkdrink 7 років тому +537

    the living tribunal sounds useless AF I could see if it just "oh I know what's happening but I'm so powerful the problem warrant me wasting my time on it" that's fine with me but to me it like " Help the every God and cosmic entity is dead and the multiverse collapsing in on itself! *the living tribunal looks up from his paper* does it have anything to do with magic? no? then it's not my problem."

    • @lucariomew365

    • @mazhiwezakizo3513
      @mazhiwezakizo3513 7 років тому +73

      yeah, I'm pretty sure it wasn't an issue about magic being misused. The Tribunal didn't help in "Infinity War" because he said it was the Cosmic Entities duty to not get replaced. A survival of the fittest mentality. If Eternity wasn't strong enough to prevent getting replaced, then it was it's own fault. Had Thanos just annihilated a ton of Cosmic Entities and not filled those roles himself, then there would be an imbalance. Which doesn't explain the "Cancerverse".

    The Living Tribunal is concerned with cosmic imbalance, not just magic. He ordered Adam Warlock to separate the infinity gems. There’s more than one example to prove this point. This wouldn’t have annoyed me if you hadn’t have said “a lot of people think this, but they’re wrong.”

    • @NikolaosSkordilis
      @NikolaosSkordilis 7 років тому +15

      Apparently the Living Tribunal ruled against Adam Warlock because he did not want to replace Eternity but rather co-exist with him. That would create an imbalance of power in the (main) universe, which of course has absolutely nothing to do with magic, but rather with power balance and stability. That bit is right after the Tribunal ruled against Eternity over the case Thanos (if I recall correctly), which was included in this video. So why was the ruling against Warlock disregarded, because it contradicted the stated purpose of the Tribunal?

    • @Daveyboy_GolfR
      @Daveyboy_GolfR 6 років тому +1

      Nikolaos hit the nail right on the head. Fanos was willing to usurp and replace the role of Eternity as the one and only eternity in which there would be no imbalance and that's why the tribunal didn't intervene. However Adam Warlock wanted to use the stones and coexist with eternity which is impossible because eternity cannot be split into two different abstracts yes. Which makes me wonder why Warlock didn't just agreed to usurp the role of Eternity and completely take over that role. Then the tribunal wouldn't have interfered and he could have kept his complete omnipotence instead of losing all the gems at the Judgment of the Living Tribunal

      @realoneinthestreets6829 5 років тому +1

      I think the Tribunal works like this:
      If there is a magical im balance then it will come to whoop dat ass
      If it sees someone trying to work with the same roles as you
      ( Adam Warlock trying to work alongside Eternity as the universe representation) then It will come for that ass
      If a being becomes too powerful and happens to be multiversal threat (Protege )
      Or They start to try become just like the one above all ( Thanos with the H.O.T.U) Then that ass must be dragged to court because there must only be only two beings that hold supreme in this bullshit hierarchy of a franchise and that is me and my omnipotent boss
      And last,but not least if you don't belong in this multiverse (Beyonders) then you will haf to walk dat ass back to the shit hole you call a reality or I will have to drag you there MYSELF!!!!
      I really don't know people The Tribunal's role has been butchered like SO many times just so it could fit the storyline or show how powerful some CURTAIN characters (y'all know who they are) are just by whooping the Tribunal's ass off 😂😂

    I really love these kind of videos about the cosmic entities! I can't get enough information on these guys! The more the better as far as I say. When one of these cosmic guys fights another that's when things get awesome.
    ComicsExplained- The more videos like this you can make the better. I know that there are other viewers like me who want to see more of this stuff to. I am talking about more comics with story arcs about the celestials would be a great place to start. Start a "Celestial Week" where you start narrating as many comics with stories featuring the Celestials as possible.
    Then have an Eternity special narrating the best Eternity comics. The Grand-Daddy of them all could be Galactus month or something. Galactus is in so many stories that you could even pick the best of the best to Narrate. I know you probably don't have access to all of these comics unless you work in a comic shop or something so I have no idea how you would source all of your material then scan it all in to make a video for us. However you get your source comics please consider doing this as I know that many occasional viewers of your channel like myself would then stick around to watch every single one of your cosmic entity comic narratives!
    Usually I flip through your channel along with a couple of other comic narration channels, and if I come across a comic that I am interested in then I stick around to watch it. When it comes to a lot of the new Marvel I don't really watch it to be honest. When it goes cosmic then I definitely always stick around to watch it!

    • @whitephoenixofthecrown8523

      Five Seven i think u r confused about the PF part, Scott became a host of a Phoenix that does the Phoenix job in one universe, the actuall entity is multiversal/omniversal.
      It would distroy GED, it is beyond any level a being can reach, beyond time and space. The Phoenix that does the Phoenix work in one universe is a fraction power of the actual Force.
      It possess all the power anyone can think of or can possess. It is all powerful, has limitless power etc. It is the most powerful one in the MU second only to TOAA.

    • @Yokai_Yuri
      @Yokai_Yuri 6 років тому

      I doubt the Phoenix force is stronger than the true living Tribunal (the one that fought the beyonders) Multiversal eterinty or any of the beyonders out there. People seem to high ball things like WPoTC (white phoenix of the crown) because she held one pocket universe in her hands and "healed" that universe means she is a "creator, she is a destroyer a god etc etc" No, it's not the same as the statements the beyonders said about creating everything which holds more weight considering Marvel's omniverse rules do not apply to them as where the Phoenix force is still restricted to the rules of the multiverse. Also when scott as the PF host faced a beyonder powered Doom, Doom murder stomped Scott really hard it was like an ant vs the sun AND TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION. The power God Emperor doom had it was a very very minuscule fraction of the beyonder's power because we learned it was the molecule man who held the vast majority of said power and doom just borrowed from it. Like a battery. That's why The molecule man took away God dooms powers.

    The Living Tribunal said to Eternity in the Infinity Gauntlet storyline he refused to help Eternity because Thanos simply wanted to replace Eternity in the cosmic order - eluding to some cosmic equivalent of survival of the fittest.
    That did not stop him from acting against Adam Warlock with Infinity Gauntlet (a fight he said would destroy reality) or Thanos when he used the Heart of the Universe (in which he absorbed the Living Tribunal, Eternity and Infinity without issue) or even the What If Last Planet Standing Galactus or as you mentioned prior the Beyonders. The Living Tribunal is basically a nigh-omnipotent cosmic judge who can challenge anyone with the Infinity Gauntlet (which was able to hold it's own briefly against God Doom) and often acts if it warrants his involvement - often ignoring the shenanigans of his cosmic fellows who are doing what they're intended to (Oblivion/ Chaos King). As for why his new form was killed by Order / Chaos, he tells them prior that the cosmic order is still in flux post Secret Wars, creating an opportunity for them to usurp him, much like Galactus does to them earlier.

    Rob, I hate to go against one part of your video but explanation of why The Living Tribunal didn't interfere with Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet because what he was doing was the natural order of those who have power and wanting to conquer. Remember the Tribunal got mad at Warlock for having the power but did not want anything. We find out later that Warlock had separated good and evil from himself in order to use the gauntlet's power with pure logic.

    Bro, do you not see that the Celestials that would report to the universe are just the Angels that show themselves to God the Father the creator, and the Celestials that would not show themselves are the fallen angels, and then yes there was a war between the fallen angels and God's good angels. The fallen angels were known as wondering stars. I wish everyone could see that everything is spiritual, and these writers are getting these stories off of truthful things that have already happened in the spiritual realms. If you read the bible and the book of Enoch you will see your story played out there as well. The bible says no one can see God the Fathers face jut as this living tribunal is saying, and the cherubim are a higher group of angels that have four faces that of a man, ox, lion, and the eagle.

      I'm not trying to disrespect your faiths, but many of us read comics to escape reality. So we like to keep all the religion and politics out of them. Thus why in marvel there is no proper "God" or "Satan" but there is a One Above All creator type person and so on and so forth. You'll find that all religions share extreme similarities but that delves into topics that again shouldn't be delved into for comics. Just have fun and detach yourself from things like that for a moment and lose yourself in a fake world. Or if you don't want to just go read DC where they have a straight up god and Lucifer.

      Also, theres really not that much of a difference between straight up portraying Lucifer or replacing it with a flimsy analogue such as The Beyonder or whatever, thats a fucking silly difference to make, in the end they are still portraying Lucifer in all but name (not to mention an actual straight-up fallen angel Lucifer does exists in Marvel, remember Ghost Rider?)
