    The death of Barry Allens mother would be quite important because of the whole Flashpoint event and how that changed everything into the New52

      And Barry became he flash due to his mother dying. He then became a forensic scientist and the lightning bolt hit him and the chemicals and he become the flash. That’s also why Eobard Thawne killed her. He wouldn’t become the flash without her dying.

    Man, I thought Jason Todd had the longest comic book death (1988-2005) but I guess Barry Allen the Flash has him beat. Over 20 years, yikes.

    @wavemaster4891 8 років тому +11

    the flashpoint paradox shows the fact that barry could have gone back to save other important people from dying. He chooses to go back and try to save his mom from dying and single handedly causing every hero to have a worse future or fatal to many of them. Leading to ww3 and barry barely getting out of that ruined timeline in time to try to stop himself from saving his own mom. The worst part is professor zoom beating him everywhere while ww3 nukes are landing. Zoom telling barry how he was responsible for all this, how he didn't have to even do anything. How selfish barry is, and how all zoom has to do is keep the speed force for himself, so barry can't escape.

    • @ksvkeeb
      @ksvkeeb 8 років тому +3

      why didnt you add nora allen's death, flashpoint happened because of barry saving his mother. The whole world was messed up because of one death. superman doesnt become super man, One death can change the whole world.

  • @MikeSears100
    @MikeSears100 5 років тому +6

    In my opinion, the most important deaths in comic book history is the death of Thomas and Martha Wayne.

  • @Bro-ne5uu
    @Bro-ne5uu 8 років тому +46

    another important death is flash's mother and is a crutial part of the flash and the new 52

    • @Task4ce141
      @Task4ce141 8 років тому +3

      +MasterRazzer76 her death is important in the dcu. When Barry Allen saved his mom, it completely shattered the foundation of the universe and created flashpoint.

      @vidarye5859 3 роки тому

      and if she never died he wouldn’t have even become the flash in the first place, no barry, no wally, no hunter, and no eobard

  • @TheWoodenBees
    @TheWoodenBees 5 років тому +2

    The death of Nora Allen literally prevented Earth-1's essentially worst case scenario timeline and was the catalyst for Flashpoint and the entire New 52 reboot. Id argue her death is the most significant comic book death of all, in terms of actual impact on the world of comics and its storytelling, rather than just the raw emotional impact or significance to one character.

  • @blearyvision5957
    @blearyvision5957 8 років тому +4

    Spider-Man Earth-616 death, I'm new to the whole comic stuff, but when I found out he died I literally almost cried right there, right then.

  • @emsleywyatt3400
    @emsleywyatt3400 4 роки тому +2

    The death of the original Superboy in the Legion of Super-Heroes story "The Greatest Hero of Them All". This had to be shocking as Superboy seemed to have the ultimate "plot armor" as we all knew he'd grow up to be Superman.

  • @millennialmike575
    @millennialmike575 8 років тому +3

    If the death of Gwen Stacy was the transition of comic culture going from the silver to the bronze age, signifying a darker and more mature tone, the MCU is iron age taking it back into the silver ages.

  • @haarissiddique9246
    @haarissiddique9246 8 років тому +3

    Hello Arris, have you ever created a video on some of the best/most important comic book story arcs??

  • @marysherrill8821
    @marysherrill8821 8 років тому +2

    Knowing that Peter Parker was Spider-Man, the Goblin kidnapped Gwen Stacy to use as a hostage against his longtime foe. Gwen fell into a state of shock and was apparently unaware of all the events following her capture by the Goblin. The Green Goblin brought the unconsious Gwen to the top of the George Washington Bridge, where he fought Spider-Man, who was desperately intent on rescuing the woman he loved. Finally, riding his flying "goblin glider," the Goblin knocked Gwen off the top of the bridge. Spider-Man caught her with his artificial webbing before she hit the water, only to learn that the shock of the fall itself had already killed her. (The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe book of the dead deluxe edition).

  • @sarahrutherford9808
    @sarahrutherford9808 8 років тому +1

    Your list should also include The Flash's mothers death, for so many obvious reasons...also maybe should have included the reason why the Punisher came to be

  • @MilesDouglasGarrett

    The death of everyone on Krypton. Without that we wouldn't have Superman haha

  • @JNPotter
    @JNPotter 8 років тому +1

    I think you should cover Superior Iron Man. I think it's a very underrated Iron Man story and it's personally one of my favorites.

  • @1acroyear1

  • @VicGeorge2K6
    @VicGeorge2K6 8 років тому +1

    If a comic book in the Silver Age said "TURNING POINT" on the cover, you know something serious is about to go down.

    • @goldenstatewarriors9418
      @goldenstatewarriors9418 3 роки тому

      Isn't it the opposite? Usually they overadvertized stuff on the covers in the Silver Age. Now they use online platforms to overadvertize and then retcon a few years later, but even back then, on literally every cover they said: The greatest fight ever, or the most dangerous and sinister villain ever faced! Nobody really questioned why the editor's note said: "We will wait to reveal the title till the end." By the last page, we finally know why.

  • @koenclijsen8874

  • @DaveVespa
    @DaveVespa 8 років тому +1

    Some other deaths worth a mention:
    Captain America at the end of Civil War
    The comedian in the watchmen
    Goliath in civil war

  • @tzford
    @tzford 3 роки тому +1

    Technically not a Comic Book death but I think everyone of a certain age knows Transformers the Movie really hit everyone the hardest.

  • @Agel1ic
    @Agel1ic 8 років тому +1

    Wolverine will be back at some point, Steve Rogers remained as an old man for little more than two years, so my guess is he'll be back soon.
    After all Old man Logan has to return to his time line to fight the good fight and to take care of his "son" little Bruce.

  • @theHardyMonster1984
    @theHardyMonster1984 7 років тому +1

    While I hated Barry Allen dying I think it was essential for Wally to be able to step up and become the great Flash that he was/is/will be (hard to say with the whole time travel business).
    Barry sacrificed himself by going light speed which helped Wally break the light speed barrier (and survive) later on in the Flash timeline.

      Why do people believe that Cap was always a Hydra agent? Of course he isn't they're just gonna play the good old mind trick/ false memories shtick. Sure, it's stupid that Cap would be a Hydra agent since he was a kid, but I can actually see an enjoyable story where Cap is captured and broken both physically and emotionally to believe he's a Hydra agent.

    • @roadblock506

    Regarding number 9, when Spiderman was telling Aunt May "I did it", I`m reminded of a story told to me by an EMT a few years ago. Don`t read this if you don`t want to tear up. Story below the "Read More"
    A young man living with his dad had committed Suicide, and given the grisly nature in which he had done so, the EMTs had blocked his father from entering the room and seeing his sons corpse in the state it was. After trying in vain for several minutes, the fear and sorrow on his face suddenly disappeared, and he went to the basement. Down there, he sat down in a rocking chair and began tossing a baseball from one hand to another, mumbling "It`s okay, buddy. Papa`s here. Papa`s here, buddy. It`s okay."
