Like a proud father to his *surviving* children. The other ones are all dead. Father killed them for their failures. And while he did take joy in their brutal murder, Father is proud of the few ones worthy of living. Apocalypse is such a great symbol of love.

@@aryan7767 not really cuz they are selling them as the real ones. Until they start tackling them as clones, which they haven’t as they brought it up once but brushed it off, then the deaths are meaningless. It also makes the characters a lot weaker than what they really are. Wolverine fought Thanos with the infinity gauntlet, yet is getting killed by robots. This would be understandable if it wasn’t for the fact that he’s survived nukes and the sun.
I've been reading xmen for about 15 years and I am so hyped for this. My favorite scene from any xmen comic was when Emma Frost showed Captain Marvel the death of her students. It just threw the hypocrisy of the Avengers in their face.

Moira comes back in the exact same body and relives her life with the exact same people in it. The only change is the Everytime she comes back she has all the knowledge of any previous lives and is even self aware in utero. The only changes that occur are the ones that she chooses. For example the way she approaches Xavier or not.

When they hit me with "ONE BLACK HOLE IS AN ENTIRE CIVILIZATIONS WHICH MAKES UP ONE NODE OF A 100+ UNIVERSAL EMPIRE" I said, "Hickman plz let me breath plz👁️_👁️"
Whatever. Apocalypse. Is exactly what their speaking about. Celestial technology hundreds of years passed. Always upgrading. Losts to human resources. Marvel's endings seem to be the worst. So humans attached with 1990's implants technology is more radical than a powerful mutant before and after infused with celestial genius.??. You need to be a writer if you dropping in a story. Ultron, she hulk iron Man RoboCop all have apocalypse number huh?.
Count how many times he says "basically" ... Sometimes multiple times in a single sentence. Love the content, but this would be a half hour shorter of you were to cut out all the "what this is, is basically..."
There's a novel called 'The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August' by Claire North, the basis of which is very similar to how McTaggert's life resets upon death, and how each life plays out differently. Would highly recommend if you're a fan of what Hickman did with McTaggert (38:15)
This sort of thing is what I was hoping the movie "Infinite" was going to end up as, until they got Wahlberg and turned it into pretty much standard action shlock instead of what it could potentially have been. The idea of someone reincarnating life after life and accumulating knowledge and experience of a world that ends up changing around them is very interesting.
I love how they used to come up with crazy situations to make Cypher important. Back during the New Mutants, he was basically useless. They even added that alien Warlock basically just to give him some purpose. Like finding battles in water to give Aquaman a purpose in the old JL cartoons. Lol
47:57 I think something like this happened in Heroes, a tv series that came out in 2006, where a kid who had manifested the ability to suck up the oxygen around him had accidentally killed everyone in his school.
I've gotten only variant covers for every issue. I think Johnathan Hickman has once again crafted a masterpiece. I never thought it was possible that the xmen could be renovated this way after all of the nonsense the fans have had to deal with since the fox movies.
We should establish something called the "Maaaaan..."-o-mether, to determine how awesome a comic book is just by counting the amount of "Maaaaaan...!"s he gives us.
@@GreyEyedAthena thats ok . i would like a robcore ring but i don't need to be in the robcore to be part of the robcore. as long as you like Rob himself we wont have to ressurect you krakoa style.
Hickman's take on these characters and the way he uses them in such a complex and interwoven story is so enthralling. Inspiring to read as a writer, honestly.
Agreed. I love Claremont. 90's X-Men TAS honors him, mainly. I don't think it should be recreated after Fox's debacle. Hickman's run should be the MCU blueprint to focus more on the stories leading up to a big event. X-Men is all about characters and stories.
@@jorienwachukwu466 what isn't well explain is how she is alive hundreads of years in the future as Akkaba (wich i REALLY find AWESOME since they finally are exploring the whole Cable future, but this time with Ninrod rulling instead of Apocalypse...)... what exactly happen to her, she is in some sort of stasys or somenthing?
@@efxnews4776 Apocalypse has access to celestial technology so high tech it`s practicly magic for example his main servant Ozymandias is a human who he turned into immortal living stone. She probably became a horsemen in this timeline or he used a life/death seed.
Your enthusiasm really made this a wild ride! I mean, it's an incredible story on its own but thank you for doing all the footwork and relating with callbacks and whatnot, great work!
Oh my goodness, this video is SO good! To say you really know your stuff is an understatement. I've always loved X-Men and knew it had such rich, complex story archs etc. but you really bring it altogether so well and explain it thoroughly. This was awesome, thanks!
I know this can be seen as an old video now but I have to say. Thank you Rob, your passion alone is worth the stay. I absolutely love to listen to all (real OG here since the early days). This was yet another story well done. Voice over was amazing to listen to and the visual edits done excellently too. I feel a better comic fan for being a Rob fan.
I've been listening to this dude ( Rob ) since he had 40k subs.....a real historian of comics....hope he gets invited & involved in story development for movies....because holy shyt....he's always on point...
Man lemme tell you... such great content. Ive never actually read any comics because there is just so much out there nowadays I dont have any idea where to start. The answer was with Rob, Man.
I spent weeks trying to find this channel. I’m subscribed to a ton of comic book UA-camrs and I really wanted to find “The Rob Core” channel. This is the video I found. It’s like cheesecake for my brain.
As much as I loved this run and that AMAZING art work, Moira is right. The always lose. They never get a good ending. And while I don't expect the X-men comics to stop being printed, it's really depressing to realize that they will probably make progress enough to have some semblance of peace.
Humans can be that ignorant, fearful, hateful, prideful, disrespectful,etc. Check your history books kid. Shoot first, ask second, and hear it," awe. To bad I really wanted to know more about them". Pay attention. Good luck you'll need it.
@@Ares99999 humans can't see people being people of another ethnicity or culture how much more to have an advance organism that is a human just another threat
It took me numerous attempts to get through this whole thing, but it was well worth it. Your excitement is palpable, and as I started reading x-men the same time you did, it's very satisfying! (Especially since Nightcrawler is alive and has something significant to do)
I am attempting it now. I quit x books years ago shortly after secret wars.... Jumping into this i had no clue about anything and im fairly well versed in x lore but hickman has an uncanny ability to confuse the hell out of me. I cant help but think this book is hickman sucking himself off in many ways, i think he thinks hes the smartest writer in the world. I think its okay, its nowhere near his FF work. I am still deciding if this book is horrible, or good. Im not sure yet its gonna take awhile as i get into the books that come after.
honestly, looking back on it, given the virtues and values captain America, Steve Rodgers, stands for and basically defines himself by, when he had the willingness to have a people, mutant or otherwise be persecuted regardless if they did anything wrong or not, must have been getting a punch in the gut from the hulk
Monolith G Tattooing right! I really want to support DoX because of the great foundation Hickman built, but I think there are too many titles and it’s too slow for me to want to keep up. Maybe I’ll pick one or two to keep up with and hopefully ComicsExplained will fill in the gaps!
I listen to this and several others before/while in bed and everytime Rob says, "let me tell you something" all angry... I crack up. Enthusiast Rob is legendary.
14:08 one of my earliest comic book memories was that fight between wolverine and sabertooth that goes on for ages. they fly out of a window, onto the top of a truck I think and they end up going over a cliff (but then psylocke using cerebro teleports wolverine away or something) it's a hazy TBH, but I got a marvel annual for xmas one year and this was one of the stories in it.
The story is Groundhog Day, they are caught in a infinite loop tied in to her birth, death and rebirth. Even if she is able to create the perfect world, it will end with her death.
I theorize that if they ever do come to some form of peace, she will find a way to destroy herself from existence in a way where she does not die, simply does not exist in her original form or in any form at all. Or more likely, she will freeze herself in time in some manner, inside of a universal spaceraft like in Secret Wars 2015, so she will live and be ready for anything the x-men need (including dying for a reset if they're peace went to pot) and/or survive into the next universe, destroying her chance at being reborn into a universe that doesn't exist.
@@ML-yn9yu No. I'm about 40 minutes in and he clearly thinks, at this point, that she dies and is born at the point in time that she dies. That her first life was "around 100 years before" her second, he says that specifically. He might get a better grasp later in the video but at this point he's not understanding it.
I love your videos and I love even more the fact that I can slow down the videos to 0.75 and listen to you speaking slowly lol... You get excited with the subject and tou speak so fast... Not complaining... But is funny. Keep up with the good work? Cheers from Brazil!
I really like what he did with apocalypse at the end of part 4 2:05:54 I feel like this is the apocalypse we were always ment to get like you can be nice but niceness only gets you so far as well as sometimes you have to obtain your goals regardless of what people think
Bro, let me tell you something.. I'm 37 years old. The last time I picked up an X-Men comic book was back in the late 90's. I remember Operation Zero Tolerance, Search For Professor X, and the Magneto War being the last stories I read. I gave up after that. It was just all filler IMO. But bro, I'm back in! This was so the direction the X-Men needed. Thanks for what you do.
The last significant run I remember of the xmen was when Cassandra nova had the sentinels attack genosha And Xorn turned out to be Magneto. I was very young This X men run is now the interesting Storylike to introduce people back into x men And this storylike I'd love to see MCU build up to and adapt this storyline
For me it was the House of M/Messiah Complex/Messiah War/Second Coming era. The Uncanny X-Force and X-Factor titles shortly after Second Coming we're also really good I thought. After that I quickly lost interest. Particularly after _AvX. I'll definitely go check this out after seeing this though.
@fluidicbeats would be nice if you could edit the audio, Rob. In hindsight, some assumptions, interpretations and theorizing doesn’t hold up as to what Hickman was actually planning/writing/putting out there.
I enjoyed this a lot however Jonathan Hickman throughout the story dumps huge amounts of knowledge my brain almost burst.It was a great story I’m excited for the future of this X-men,But I am also scared for this.Rob I have a question though the way we’re heading do you think we will end up on the road to a possible Avengers vs X-men II
While I haven’t read the comics (supporting my family doesn’t leave room for comic volumes) I’ve always LOVED these videos and it’s interesting to see that at 55:07 as soon as Magneto is shown the truth the shadows he was in are gone, immediately he’s in the light and dare I say his first panel he looks pretty heroic! Curious...very curious. Love this!
After binging tons of your full stories and smaller ones. 1) you’ve got the best UA-cam channel for sure. 2) Hickman is consistently the best author and probably best in Marvel’s history
14:20 "if kids these days went back into Xbox live lobbies from 10 years ago, they'd never make it" - Rob This is exactly why I gave up online play as I got older. It's so different than it used to be. I miss those days.
Jesus Christ this and the flash point have solidified my LOVE for comics. Thank you brother for putting it on a form that I can intake and process. This is ART.
Hey whats up man ? Ive been listening to your full stories for a while, and let me tell you I love your X-MEN comics explained full stories.....The best..want to say thank you
If we want to be technical, one could presume Magneto a telepath, part and thanks to the ability to mess with electromagnetic waves. He could literally tamper with brain chemistry. He could stop your heart beat by stopping the battery like pulse it produces to keep going. You could probably get a massive mountain of ideas of what he MIGHT be able to do, in fact, Magneto has one of the most interesting a large scale lists out there, because electromagnetism is such a fundamental component to almost everything in existence related to matter. I even imagine him capable of separating the bonds of physical matter by releasing it of its electromagnetism. He's probably even capable of affected the strong and weak nuclear forces because of it. I'm certain, that if Magneto devoted his life to studying his own power, he would find out to some at least SMALL degree, he really is a reality warping character. Lastly, one who can control magnetism inherently should be able to control the freeflow directional patterns of electricity itself, essentially saying if Magento wanted to become a lightning rod, well, scientifically speaking.... he technically should be able to.
That's not what telepathy is and Magneto is already classified as an Omega level mutant, meaning there is no upper limit to what he can do with his powers. Although he is capable of reality warping as that's a completely separate ability that mutants like Proteus have.
@@dogico telepathy is communication of thought. If you can affect electromagnetic waves, you can affect thought. You can also as mentioned above affect the heart and even the very neurological pathways from the brain to the rest of the human body, because you're a walking talking electromagnetic field. That's just basic neurology and physics. Even down to the atom and dark matter, electromagnetism is a fundamental part of it, which mind you, Magneto can affect.
@@TheWatchmanOfTheEnd mutant telepathy doesn't work through electromagnetism, and Magneto can't read minds via electromagnetism ergo he's not a telepath.
Dude this is would be an amazing storyline! They should use this idea as a plot twist in a future series, e.g. in a battle between Magneto and a telepath.
yeah magneto has fired both lightning and lasers before, but only once each, and not many people know about it. basically the writers did it once and just dropped it. but, he has full command of the electromagnetic spectrum, so why not? he even pulled kitty back when she was trapped in that giant space bullet from across the universe with his magnetism, although he had to be hopped up on that mutant drug that amplifies their powers, and he suffered a miniature stroke doing it. Still, if he can use his power across that much distance .... yeesh.
Duuude the closed caption is only in auto generated korean! I mostly listen to your videos but thought you’d like to know. Huge fan, been watching/listening for years. You are by far my favorite comic expert! Keep up the good lords work 🙏
I've been waiting to watch this video for when the comics showed up on Marvel Unlimited because I really wanted to experience this story myself and "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!" It was so worth it. As soon as I finished I then watched this video just to make sure I didn't miss anything. I can't wait for Dawn of X!
Rob, I think you're favourite X-Man is... I think it's Legion. Coz MAN LEMME TELL Y'ALL SOMETHIN', Legion is awesome, just pure awesomeness, and I'm really interested in the fact that Legion was included in the list of omega level mutants, so like, where is David, and what have the other personalities been up to? Have they increased in number? Maybe they've actually decreased in numbers, they could merge personalities?? Multiple different superpowers and different traits of other personalities, a little bit like Rasputin
Always been an anime n manga guy, just got into comics during quarantine and I LOVE your videos. I hope you can survive off the views and get to create things you love comfortably dude!
I love how you can click on any random video of Rob's, with no prior context, & come out almost the same as someone who's read all the books leading up to said video. He's just that cool that he covers anything he needs to, as best he can in each video.

@@Camera1productioni😂fggggc Judy ❤yuy
This is more of a "why I love Hickman writing" Fan tribute than anything else lmao.
P. S: you've made me a Hickman fan
His run is over already lol
Don’t how to feel about it. It was decent but I’ve seen far better runs.
“You’re going to love this just trust me”
“This is my regular form,”
“This is master mold”
“And this is a level beyond master mold, mother mold if you will,”
“And this..... this is to go even further beyond!”
“AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
When they hit me with "ONE BLACK HOLE IS AN ENTIRE CIVILIZATIONS WHICH MAKES UP ONE NODE OF A 100+ UNIVERSAL EMPIRE" I said, "Hickman plz let me breath plz👁️_👁️"
Whatever. Apocalypse. Is exactly what their speaking about. Celestial technology hundreds of years passed. Always upgrading. Losts to human resources. Marvel's endings seem to be the worst. So humans attached with 1990's implants technology is more radical than a powerful mutant before and after infused with celestial genius.??. You need to be a writer if you dropping in a story. Ultron, she hulk iron Man RoboCop all have apocalypse number huh?.
Which ultimately leads to a complicated boring story.
It’s so dumb, although it is meant for children.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 dope DBZ reference
Take a shot every time he says “I love Jonathan Hickman”
If you take a shot for everytime he said "man let me tell ya something" you would die
jeremy144713 no I like my liver
Count how many times he says "basically" ... Sometimes multiple times in a single sentence. Love the content, but this would be a half hour shorter of you were to cut out all the "what this is, is basically..."
I haven’t been this excited since the Casandra Nova storyline.
"it's the craziest thing"
There's a novel called 'The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August' by Claire North, the basis of which is very similar to how McTaggert's life resets upon death, and how each life plays out differently. Would highly recommend if you're a fan of what Hickman did with McTaggert (38:15)
That is a great book! I keep meaning to check out more of her stuff.
This sort of thing is what I was hoping the movie "Infinite" was going to end up as, until they got Wahlberg and turned it into pretty much standard action shlock instead of what it could potentially have been. The idea of someone reincarnating life after life and accumulating knowledge and experience of a world that ends up changing around them is very interesting.
I love how they used to come up with crazy situations to make Cypher important. Back during the New Mutants, he was basically useless. They even added that alien Warlock basically just to give him some purpose. Like finding battles in water to give Aquaman a purpose in the old JL cartoons. Lol
47:57 I think something like this happened in Heroes, a tv series that came out in 2006, where a kid who had manifested the ability to suck up the oxygen around him had accidentally killed everyone in his school.
This event was a giant love letter to sci-fi and I couldn't love it more.
I've gotten only variant covers for every issue. I think Johnathan Hickman has once again crafted a masterpiece. I never thought it was possible that the xmen could be renovated this way after all of the nonsense the fans have had to deal with since the fox movies.
Man Hickman himself is a masterpiece like Stan Lee.
This is indeed a masterpiece
Funny how after Disney bought Fox we get GOOD Xmen stories
At least the movies didn't make the X-Men a creepy soulless cult.
Can somebody explain how resurrected Wolverine has adamantium? Wait does he? If he does that's a massive plothole.
The best X-Men story i have ever read...... what a masterpiece 🙌🏼 and my guess for your favorite is Nightcrawler
We need
“Mmmmmm Mannnnnnnn lemme tell you something MmmmMmmmrrr”
T-shirts
This. Always my favorite parts
u know what the rob is coooking
We should establish something called the "Maaaaan..."-o-mether, to determine how awesome a comic book is just by counting the amount of "Maaaaaan...!"s he gives us.
Fuckn hate that tbh
@@GreyEyedAthena thats ok . i would like a robcore ring but i don't need to be in the robcore to be part of the robcore. as long as you like Rob himself we wont have to ressurect you krakoa style.
Hickman's take on these characters and the way he uses them in such a complex and interwoven story is so enthralling. Inspiring to read as a writer, honestly.
Agreed. I love Claremont. 90's X-Men TAS honors him, mainly. I don't think it should be recreated after Fox's debacle. Hickman's run should be the MCU blueprint to focus more on the stories leading up to a big event. X-Men is all about characters and stories.
It sounds as if Moira possesses the ability of “serial immortality” rather than being truly immortal
A sort of retroactive immortality through reincarnation.
@@jorienwachukwu466 what isn't well explain is how she is alive hundreads of years in the future as Akkaba (wich i REALLY find AWESOME since they finally are exploring the whole Cable future, but this time with Ninrod rulling instead of Apocalypse...)... what exactly happen to her, she is in some sort of stasys or somenthing?
@@efxnews4776 Apocalypse has access to celestial technology so high tech it`s practicly magic for example his main servant Ozymandias is a human who he turned into immortal living stone. She probably became a horsemen in this timeline or he used a life/death seed.
Hearing your voice for almost three hours telling such a great story, what a great way of spend a Friday afternoon :D.

Already watched the individual videos... oh well, here we go again
>Relatable comment
Yo, that speech by Apocalypse as he fights those Nimrods is one of the most BALLER moments in the history of the X-Men
LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING! I've been listen to this for 2.5 hours straight. You are so good at explaining and telling stories.
Your enthusiasm really made this a wild ride! I mean, it's an incredible story on its own but thank you for doing all the footwork and relating with callbacks and whatnot, great work!
Oh my goodness, this video is SO good! To say you really know your stuff is an understatement. I've always loved X-Men and knew it had such rich, complex story archs etc. but you really bring it altogether so well and explain it thoroughly. This was awesome, thanks!
I know this can be seen as an old video now but I have to say. Thank you Rob, your passion alone is worth the stay. I absolutely love to listen to all (real OG here since the early days). This was yet another story well done. Voice over was amazing to listen to and the visual edits done excellently too. I feel a better comic fan for being a Rob fan.
I've been listening to this dude ( Rob ) since he had 40k subs.....a real historian of comics....hope he gets invited & involved in story development for movies....because holy shyt....he's always on point...
The passion in this man's voice keeps me coming back every time
The title 'powers of 10' just made sense to me, 1, 10, 100, 1000 for the time-frames. I can't believe it took me this long
What time to be a X-Men fan! 🔥🔥🔥
Indeed!
Its 4:46 here
2:01:23 thanks alot Nightcrawler!
Ya blue sumumabich.
Man lemme tell you... such great content. Ive never actually read any comics because there is just so much out there nowadays I dont have any idea where to start. The answer was with Rob, Man.
I spent weeks trying to find this channel. I’m subscribed to a ton of comic book UA-camrs and I really wanted to find “The Rob Core” channel. This is the video I found. It’s like cheesecake for my brain.
Totally gonna get the hardcovers just cause i loved this story so much.
setokaiba200x yooo lemme borrow
Agreed
I brought the entire series off this alone. & all the titles as they have been coming out.
Me too
just gonna watch this vid and pay nothing 😏
Hox/pox brought me back to the Xmen. First xmen book I’ve paid for in years
As much as I loved this run and that AMAZING art work, Moira is right. The always lose. They never get a good ending. And while I don't expect the X-men comics to stop being printed, it's really depressing to realize that they will probably make progress enough to have some semblance of peace.
Humans can be that ignorant, fearful, hateful, prideful, disrespectful,etc. Check your history books kid. Shoot first, ask second, and hear it," awe. To bad I really wanted to know more about them". Pay attention. Good luck you'll need it.
Okay ,'Tyrannica'l.?.
@@nicolasmejia7895 Of course, these 'Mutants' are actually just 'Humans+Powers'. I see no greater mindset here.
@@Ares99999 humans can't see people being people of another ethnicity or culture how much more to have an advance organism that is a human just another threat
They can always collect the infinity stones and just wish for mutants to always survivor or win the war on evolution
It took me numerous attempts to get through this whole thing, but it was well worth it. Your excitement is palpable, and as I started reading x-men the same time you did, it's very satisfying! (Especially since Nightcrawler is alive and has something significant to do)
A2awwaawawwwaawaauawwqwaw. Ae flaw
I am attempting it now. I quit x books years ago shortly after secret wars.... Jumping into this i had no clue about anything and im fairly well versed in x lore but hickman has an uncanny ability to confuse the hell out of me. I cant help but think this book is hickman sucking himself off in many ways, i think he thinks hes the smartest writer in the world. I think its okay, its nowhere near his FF work. I am still deciding if this book is horrible, or good. Im not sure yet its gonna take awhile as i get into the books that come after.
This story is so beautiful and the ending made me feel so comforted and at peace for the X-FAMILY
honestly, looking back on it, given the virtues and values captain America, Steve Rodgers, stands for and basically defines himself by, when he had the willingness to have a people, mutant or otherwise be persecuted regardless if they did anything wrong or not, must have been getting a punch in the gut from the hulk
I love it when Rob gets so excited he can't contain himself.
"home in time for corn flakes." lol
Joe Dillehay you are a cute asss bear 🐻
Me: **listens to this to fall asleep**
This, every 10 minutes or so: *"man, let me tell you something!"*
Its super funny :D
One year later and I still know “why I love Hickman”
Finished the whole book yesterday. I have to just say I love it! Can’t wait for the rest to come out!
Thanks for doing the whole story.😎👍🏽
Is anyone else impatient with Dawn of X after how great HoX/PoX was?
Monolith G Tattooing right! I really want to support DoX because of the great foundation Hickman built, but I think there are too many titles and it’s too slow for me to want to keep up. Maybe I’ll pick one or two to keep up with and hopefully ComicsExplained will fill in the gaps!
The "let me tell you somethin' " intensifies lol
I listen to this and several others before/while in bed and everytime Rob says, "let me tell you something" all angry... I crack up. Enthusiast Rob is legendary.
14:08 one of my earliest comic book memories was that fight between wolverine and sabertooth that goes on for ages. they fly out of a window, onto the top of a truck I think and they end up going over a cliff (but then psylocke using cerebro teleports wolverine away or something) it's a hazy TBH, but I got a marvel annual for xmas one year and this was one of the stories in it.
The story is Groundhog Day, they are caught in a infinite loop tied in to her birth, death and rebirth. Even if she is able to create the perfect world, it will end with her death.
thank you his strange confused read on this was driving me crazy.
I theorize that if they ever do come to some form of peace, she will find a way to destroy herself from existence in a way where she does not die, simply does not exist in her original form or in any form at all.
Or more likely, she will freeze herself in time in some manner, inside of a universal spaceraft like in Secret Wars 2015, so she will live and be ready for anything the x-men need (including dying for a reset if they're peace went to pot) and/or survive into the next universe, destroying her chance at being reborn into a universe that doesn't exist.
@@thejoeeffect Strange and confused read? He pretty much spelled out exactly what was going on.
@@smgeezus7186 she invented the mutant cure. She can stop whenever she wants.
@@ML-yn9yu No. I'm about 40 minutes in and he clearly thinks, at this point, that she dies and is born at the point in time that she dies. That her first life was "around 100 years before" her second, he says that specifically. He might get a better grasp later in the video but at this point he's not understanding it.
Don't know how many times I have watch this video I never get tired of how Rob is so hype.
So this is basically the X-Men version of the movie Groundhog Day
17:03 notice how the GOAT monarch is the first on the list?
I love your videos and I love even more the fact that I can slow down the videos to 0.75 and listen to you speaking slowly lol... You get excited with the subject and tou speak so fast... Not complaining... But is funny. Keep up with the good work? Cheers from Brazil!
I really like what he did with apocalypse at the end of part 4 2:05:54 I feel like this is the apocalypse we were always ment to get like you can be nice but niceness only gets you so far as well as sometimes you have to obtain your goals regardless of what people think
This line changed the game in such a positive way. XMen hasn’t been this cool for. Long time !
nothing like rob narrating a jonathan hickman story, I am gonna watch this video like 100times
Bro, let me tell you something..
I'm 37 years old. The last time I picked up an X-Men comic book was back in the late 90's. I remember Operation Zero Tolerance, Search For Professor X, and the Magneto War being the last stories I read.
I gave up after that. It was just all filler IMO.
But bro, I'm back in! This was so the direction the X-Men needed. Thanks for what you do.
"so anyway, jumping 1000 years into the future..." that's Hickman for you
The last significant run I remember of the xmen was when Cassandra nova had the sentinels attack genosha
And Xorn turned out to be Magneto.
I was very young
This X men run is now the interesting Storylike to introduce people back into x men
And this storylike I'd love to see MCU build up to and adapt this storyline
For me it was the House of M/Messiah Complex/Messiah War/Second Coming era. The Uncanny X-Force and X-Factor titles shortly after Second Coming we're also really good I thought. After that I quickly lost interest. Particularly after _AvX.
I'll definitely go check this out after seeing this though.
I love watching your uploads week to week and then a massive rewatch when the run is don. Keep killing it for the corps 🤙
@fluidicbeats would be nice if you could edit the audio, Rob. In hindsight, some assumptions, interpretations and theorizing doesn’t hold up as to what Hickman was actually planning/writing/putting out there.
I love these when working on my truck

I enjoyed this a lot however Jonathan Hickman throughout the story dumps huge amounts of knowledge my brain almost burst.It was a great story I’m excited for the future of this X-men,But I am also scared for this.Rob I have a question though the way we’re heading do you think we will end up on the road to a possible Avengers vs X-men II
While I haven’t read the comics (supporting my family doesn’t leave room for comic volumes) I’ve always LOVED these videos and it’s interesting to see that at 55:07 as soon as Magneto is shown the truth the shadows he was in are gone, immediately he’s in the light and dare I say his first panel he looks pretty heroic! Curious...very curious. Love this!
After binging tons of your full stories and smaller ones. 1) you’ve got the best UA-cam channel for sure. 2) Hickman is consistently the best author and probably best in Marvel’s history
Rob, you’re open was so genuine and builds wonder.
14:20 "if kids these days went back into Xbox live lobbies from 10 years ago, they'd never make it"

This is exactly why I gave up online play as I got older. It's so different than it used to be. I miss those days.

You'll die
How is it going to be if Wolverine and Cyclops both enter Jean's room at the same time... _and she's not even there_ 👀👀

But that Jean is the teen version from the past?

Jesus Christ this and the flash point have solidified my LOVE for comics. Thank you brother for putting it on a form that I can intake and process. This is ART.
Hey whats up man ? Ive been listening to your full stories for a while, and let me tell you I love your X-MEN comics explained full stories.....The best..want to say thank you
So Moira basically has regenerations like Doctor Who, only she starts over as a baby instead of an adult.
Lifelong groundhog "day"
If we want to be technical, one could presume Magneto a telepath, part and thanks to the ability to mess with electromagnetic waves. He could literally tamper with brain chemistry. He could stop your heart beat by stopping the battery like pulse it produces to keep going. You could probably get a massive mountain of ideas of what he MIGHT be able to do, in fact, Magneto has one of the most interesting a large scale lists out there, because electromagnetism is such a fundamental component to almost everything in existence related to matter. I even imagine him capable of separating the bonds of physical matter by releasing it of its electromagnetism. He's probably even capable of affected the strong and weak nuclear forces because of it. I'm certain, that if Magneto devoted his life to studying his own power, he would find out to some at least SMALL degree, he really is a reality warping character. Lastly, one who can control magnetism inherently should be able to control the freeflow directional patterns of electricity itself, essentially saying if Magento wanted to become a lightning rod, well, scientifically speaking.... he technically should be able to.
That's not what telepathy is and Magneto is already classified as an Omega level mutant, meaning there is no upper limit to what he can do with his powers. Although he is capable of reality warping as that's a completely separate ability that mutants like Proteus have.
@@dogico telepathy is communication of thought. If you can affect electromagnetic waves, you can affect thought. You can also as mentioned above affect the heart and even the very neurological pathways from the brain to the rest of the human body, because you're a walking talking electromagnetic field. That's just basic neurology and physics. Even down to the atom and dark matter, electromagnetism is a fundamental part of it, which mind you, Magneto can affect.
@@TheWatchmanOfTheEnd mutant telepathy doesn't work through electromagnetism, and Magneto can't read minds via electromagnetism ergo he's not a telepath.
Dude this is would be an amazing storyline! They should use this idea as a plot twist in a future series, e.g. in a battle between Magneto and a telepath.
yeah magneto has fired both lightning and lasers before, but only once each, and not many people know about it. basically the writers did it once and just dropped it. but, he has full command of the electromagnetic spectrum, so why not? he even pulled kitty back when she was trapped in that giant space bullet from across the universe with his magnetism, although he had to be hopped up on that mutant drug that amplifies their powers, and he suffered a miniature stroke doing it. Still, if he can use his power across that much distance .... yeesh.
This is incredible, I’m definitely buying this run for sure. Thank you 🙏🏾 😎
Duuude the closed caption is only in auto generated korean! I mostly listen to your videos but thought you’d like to know. Huge fan, been watching/listening for years. You are by far my favorite comic expert! Keep up the good lords work 🙏
1:39:07 Rob, please make a one excellent scene with that moment, or whatever you do, your passion for the xmen is contagius, man, i love that!
I've been waiting to watch this video for when the comics showed up on Marvel Unlimited because I really wanted to experience this story myself and "LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!" It was so worth it. As soon as I finished I then watched this video just to make sure I didn't miss anything. I can't wait for Dawn of X!
Stan: Oh my God, they killed Moira!
Kyle: You Bastards!
Rob, I think you're favourite X-Man is... I think it's Legion. Coz MAN LEMME TELL Y'ALL SOMETHIN', Legion is awesome, just pure awesomeness, and I'm really interested in the fact that Legion was included in the list of omega level mutants, so like, where is David, and what have the other personalities been up to? Have they increased in number? Maybe they've actually decreased in numbers, they could merge personalities?? Multiple different superpowers and different traits of other personalities, a little bit like Rasputin
Apocalypse becoming apart of the nation of Krekoa send chills down my spine.
Simply amazing.
This is like Re:Zero meets Medaka Box and that's a combination of words I'd never ever imagine saying
Would love to see House/ Powers Of X be made into an animated tv series. Maybe 6- 7 seasons to do it justice. The story is amazing.
I have never seen xmen in this kind of light before. i like it.
Always been an anime n manga guy, just got into comics during quarantine and I LOVE your videos. I hope you can survive off the views and get to create things you love comfortably dude!
I love how you can click on any random video of Rob's, with no prior context, & come out almost the same as someone who's read all the books leading up to said video. He's just that cool that he covers anything he needs to, as best he can in each video.
Man, I really enjoy these comics explained video you make. They're so good. Thanks for taking the time to make each so well, since I can imagine these take significant time to create.
