I was playing 3DS while listening to the video and when Matt yelled "Jennifer Lawrence!" it got my attention. Sure, I wasn't the one he ment.. but I'm gonna pretend I just got a shout-out. ;)
"Me and my dad, we played this together back in the day." "It was a bonding moment." Now I want to see a "Best Dads Beat ´Em Ups" video where it is just Pat, Matt, Liam and Woolie´s parents playing games. You know they are supposed to play the game and talk about it, but you also know they will start talking shit about their sons. And THAT... is EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT.
You know what's an even better bonding moment between Woolie and his dad than playing X-men? Woolie and his dad double cloth lining a young football player to DEATH!
See the thing about Gladiator not making sense is, he's powered by his own self-confidence, which is just about the best thing ever. He was clearly just intimidated by Rogue's sassy southern wiles.
I love how there's a 15 minute gap in the middle of the video where Matt & Woolie are talking about comic books and Liam literally doesn't say anything because he was too young to have read them.
"It's not called Hell to him." You're right. It's called Hel to him. Hel is the land of the dead in Norse mythology and one of the 9 realms. The Christian Hell actually does derive its name from the Norse Hel. It is featured in the comics. Most importantly, it's ruled by Loki's daughter, Hela. So since his own daughter rules Hel, I think he knows what it's called.
Cyclops isnt as bad as people think. He's the first X-Man. He does what needs to be done. It's not his fault that writers dont like him and mess up his character alot
And it's not any one character's fault in Heavy Rain, Indigo Prophecy or Beyond Two Souls that David Cage doesn't know how to write. That won't stop us from hating them all the same.
I have a feeling the audio and video is out of synch solely for when Woolie interrupts Magneto when he says "Welcome to die!" so we can hear Magneto say it. Thank you, Matt.
You know, Wolverine could defeat bees just by standing there and letting them sting him. Because bees die after they sting you and his healing factor probably gives zero fucks about goddamn bees. Then again, those are wasps, so maybe slash them a bit.
Juggernaut runs over Blob 10-0 because Juggernaut is FUCKING MAGIC. Seriously, no amount of mutant immovability can stand up to forces stemming from dark and chaotic gods from eldritch dimensions.
What Loki said was correct. For the Asgardians in Marvel, there is a dimension called Hel (spelled with one 'l') and it is ruled by Loki's daughter, Hela. In the comics, Hell is not one realm with different names ruled by one entity with different names. Just as there are a variety of different pantheons of deities (Nordic, Greek, etc.), there are also a variety of Devil-like figures with their own dimensions which they command. Mephisto is not Satan. In the comics, he is just a powerful demon who controls a dimension he calls Hell or Hades; although it is neither the hell of the Christian religion nor the Hades ruled by Pluto. He refers to it by these names, because he wishes to exploit man's belief of a singular being of evil who rules such a realm. And yes, I am in fact this nerdy.
Woolie, Ragnarok is the end of the world in Asgardian lore. There is a hell, and often times its interchangeable with the other word its called, but its certainly not called ragnarok.
This. Also: goddammit Woolie, Azazel is Nightcrawler's father, not fucking Mephisto. Didn't you even watch X-Men First Class? He's basically a red Nightcrawler in that movie. Stop being full of shit.
CidTheNinja Using the movies to prove a point about the comics isn't always the best idea. For example, in the comics, but not in the movies, Nightcrawler is also the son of Mystique.
In Norse mythology, Hel, the location, shares a name with Hel, a female figure associated with the location. To avoid confusion between the two, a number of literary texts often called this underworld Helheim (from Norse heima or heimr - "home", "region", "abode"). In late Icelandic sources, varying descriptions of Hel are given and various figures are described as being buried with items that will facilitate their journey to Hel after their death. In the Poetic Edda, Brynhildr's trip to Hel after her death is described and Odin, while alive, also visits Hel upon his horse Sleipnir. In Snorri Sturluson's Prose Edda, Baldr goes to Hel upon death and subsequently Hermóðr uses Sleipnir to attempt to retrieve him. "Hel-shoes" are described in Gísla saga.
In defense of Cyclops... In the storyline where he gets it on with Emma right after Jean's death, it's actually Jean from the future who uses her Phoenix powers to manipulate Cyclops into getting with Emma so that the shitty future she was in wouldn't happen. Throughout Morrison's run, there is implication of "stuff" happening between Scott and Emma, but it turns out they were just therapy sessions. In Whedon's last part of Astonishing, Cyclops' part was really cool. He's also right now the coolest/most rational character in Marvel with him basically being falsely accused of being a villain since AvX. Also, I am pretty sure in Thor 2 that Loki was mentioning Hel, the lowest of the nine realms. /endcomicbookfanrant
Cyclops' problem is that people write him badly a lot and he's never really been given a time to shine until now. Cyclops was boring leader-man for most of his existence.
Those "therapy sessions" were telepathic sex, sure it seems Cyclops technically didn't cheat to us but to Jean and other telepaths he certainly did. I think my main problem with Cyclops is that he always acts like he's got the worst mutation, yeah he destroys things with punch dimension eyes *big whoop* put on some ruby lenses and it's fine. Some mutants e.g that kid that kills all organic matter around him have it so much worse.
I went to skating rinks not to rent skates and actually use the establishment for its intended purpose, but rather to gather up all my quarters and friends to play fucking X-Men. We beat it once and it was the best moment of my childhood.
I once went to the skating rink on a field trip, repeatededly fell flat on my ass on the ice, then went to the arcade cabinets only to realize I left my wallet on the bus. It was the worst moment of my childhood.
"Remember that time when..." Yes. Every time they say that, I somehow do actually remember whatever crazy thing they're talking about. Though that's basically most comics anyway.
Comics are so awesome because there are so many ridiculous situations that occur in them, but I could never actually read them because there are just SO MANY COMICS!!!
Matt: Dazzler is Jubilee. Nope! Dazzler's power is solar energy and can do nuke like attacks(as she does in this game) Jubilee's was explosions and could do all the way to a fusion bomb(if she wanted to kill) Dazzler was a product of the 70 and Jubilee the late 80s early 90s. Personality wise they are also very different. TLDR Matt is wrong
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_(being) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hel_(location) Here you go, guys. Some basic Norse Mythology information. And in case you don't want to read it, here's the short version- Loki's Daughter, Hel, rules the realm that shares her name (also Hel). The saying "Go to Hel" is literally saying "Go die, and suffer at my daughter's hands." In the comics (which I don't read, but even I still know this because INTERNET), Hel is... let's say not super fond of Loki (that's a nice way to put it). She also had an incest baby with Thor, that he later killed in battle.
I would like to point out that "Hel" is a realm and deity in Norse mythology. I don't know whether they emulated it/her in Marvel, but since it is based on Norse myths I think Thor can say that.
TheBlackSpiral Not the same, but surprisingly similar. Hel is like the underworld where dead go (if not somewhere else depending on how they died). So you could still use it to say something like "I'm taking you to hell" because its actually a broad word
Only thing I know about Hel in the Marvel universe is that apparently she's Loki's daughter, and Thor and Loki have to go there to get Bruce Banner's soul back after Loki kills him so they can reunite him with The Hulk so they can send him back to Midgard/Earth to stop his rampage on Asgard just before he kills Odin while in the Odinsleep.
I usually know everything they talk about. But I never knew about nightcrawler having to run from apocalypse during bamf. That is some fucking Epic level dnd shit a sadistic DM would come up with. Fucking awesome.
27:30 It's hilarious that they talk about people not getting a hypothetical "See you in Ragnarok" line (that doesn't really make sense, Ragnarok was just an apocalypse event) while not knowing that Hel is an actual place/person in Norse mythology.
FUN FACT: This game is an adaptation of the Pryde of the X-Men pilot. The character designs are exactly the same and the lineup is the same (Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Dazzler, Nightcrawler, Colossus). I'm sure if they waited a bit longer to make this game, it'd have the Fox Kids X-Men lineup (Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Beast, Gambit and Rogue) and it'd FUCKING RULE!!!
Liam is more silent in this one, but he played better than in the Dragon's Crown video. It just shows how hard it is to concentrate on a game while you're talking, especially when thinking of the next joke you make. I remember playing this 6-player with a bunch of friends when it got rereleased a few years back. Good times.
Now to be fair to Loki and Thor: The Dark World, he could have been saying Hel, which was the Norse underworld for those who didn't die in battle or died shamefully and was ruled by the ice goddess of the same name.
Wookie its Mark Millar aka guy who wrote Wanted, that wrote Old Man Logan, aka were Logan fights insect hulks He also wrote Civil War And the Unfunnies you bought three copies of Wanted You allowed it to happen
Old Man Logan was written by Mark Millar you nerds! He was the dude who wrote the story where Wolverine crashed a sentinel into a city full of killer ninja's and he killed every single last one of them!
not to mention Pyro WASN'T immune to fire and could be burned by it if he wasn't paying attention and Iceman is like a freaking Demigod if he ever discovered the true extent of his powers, ice regeneration and reconstruction if he ever lost parts of his body, anyone? Lol
Woolie and norse mythology I tell you man... Ragnarok is the end of the world and Hel (not Hell) is the place they were referring to. Unless of course this is all comic book logic.
I remember when I was younger I used to go to Chuck E. Cheese's and play this. I later found out you could get it for $5 on the Xbox Live Arcade. That deal's better than 50 thousand quarters
Fun fact in Norse Mythology their version of hell is actually called Hell. Hellhiem is the long name but many followers of the Norse religion just called it Hell for short.
If i remember correctly Juggs did have a run in with the Blob, and What happened was he hit the blob so hard the Earth underneath him gave way so a chunk of the street and the blob flew like 3 miles away from the force
For a group attacking Konami for not reading the comic... You have no clue about the comics. Cyclops sucks 2: first referencing psylocke as the individual of the affair. Later corrected to white queen but still. Also future Jean pushed cyclops to stay with white queen because if he didn't he'd quit the team and things go all post apocalyptic. Wolverine went feral after the removal of adamantium and his secondary mutation kicked in. Stick and Electra brought him back. Just a few errors...
Why is it that mutants in the X-Men series are prominent enough to gain global attention and are the subject of every new station and media outlet, and yet in every other Marvel Series there's barely any mention of other mutants besides the prominent ones?
Remember when one of the Green Lanterns was a cartoon squirrel that got sad when he came to Earth and saw that none of the animals were talking cartoon animals, and so he went home and tried to kill himself, but then later somebody runs him over in a tractor, and then in Blackest Night he gets turned into a zombie cartoon squirrel until Guy Gardner shoots him in the face? And no, I didn't make any of that up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%27p
Did these guys even read the comics? How do you confuse Psylocke and Emma Frost? That stage of grieving thing happened in Astonishing X-men. He did make out with Emma right after Jean died. That happened at the end of the New X-men. But guess what, Jean pushed him to do it from beyond the grave with Phoenix powers, because future would die if Scott and Emma didn't restart the x-men. And you know what? Wolverine may have been cool, but he was never "Magneto bowed down to me" cool. Cyclops is the x-men.
OH also one thing they got wrong Nightcrawler is NOT Mephestos son he is Azreal/Azazael's son. Also in the comics there were human sized sentinals to lessen property damage...also Xmen legends had a story around them. This game's plot is based of the old Xmen animated pilot. Magneto pretty much stole all these robots. OH ONE MORE THING I WANT TO SAY. Punisher is the lamest comic book character(used to think it was Hulk) He is LITERALLY EVERY BAD 90S COMIC BOOK ANTI HERO
***** I was tempted to cheat and link an image of punisher 2099 but I can't find some of the worse covers. He may not have had shoulder pads but he has the pouches www.comicsvf.com/scans/vocanc/punisherwarzone/3.jpg and the biceps goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Punisher_WZ_cover.jpg also a number of 90s anti heroes were also because X killed my Y so now I use the super power of guns. TO be fair he is better then domino..who's mutant power IS guns
***** also here is why Hulk is shit, he is boring. All he does is go BRJRJHEDJBFJFB HULK SMASH! So no personality. His power is inconsistent. To beat him you have to hit him just right not too hard(it just pisses him off) not too light(does jack and shit) and the "just right" is always variable(IE whatever the plot calls for unless it is Thor he always wins) though usually he does not stop until a puppy or something calms him down.So he is even overpowered with the how you beat him being variable unless Thor's around.
Woolie, not to be rude but he wouldn't say "go to Ragnarok!" because Ragnarok is the Norse version of Armageddon. Plus if Loki was saying Hell, he could've meant Helheim. The Norse underworld...ruled by his daughter in Marvel lore.
Hate to interject here, but there is a Hell in Norse mythology. It's called Hel, short for Helheim. It's the ninth world, and it's even referenced in the Marvel universe. While not a place of eternal punishment (the Christians added that tidbit when they borrowed the name for their version of the underworld), it's a place where the souls of the dead are supposed to go. Some texts refer to it as just another name for the afterlife, while others distinguish it from Valhalla as a place for people who do not die in battle and instead die of sickness or old age go. In the case of the movie, it might still be used wrongly though if Loki is saying that line before violently killing someone (haven't seen the movie so I don't know the context).
I've always thought Punisher was a good character, it's just important to remember he isn't really a superhero even as much as Wolverine is. Which is saying something!
It should be noted that Cyclops cheats on Jean all the time. Psylocke, Emma Frost, hell one of the next issue of all new x-men has young cyclops macking on X-23 (though I think Jean cheated first there). He even cheated on Jean's clone, who he married, with Jean herself when she cam back to life, which cause her to become the Goblin Queen. What a hero indeed.
I'm actually learning stuff about the Xmen I didn't know before. For example...I knew Cyclops was a complete tool, but I didn't know half of the shit they said about him. xD
edenfire Honestly Cyclops is just sort of that guy who comes across as a tool even when he's not actively being a tool. It's part of his character, at least imo, and what makes his interactions within the stuff interesting. Sort of like his role/contribution to the cast or whatever you want to call it. Without Cyclops, we'd be stuck with Xavier for Toolness. :3
I enjoyed hearing the badass and retarded stories of the Xmen comics more than the actual video. You guys should play more Xmen games so we can hear more because I stopped reading Xmen comics years ago.
Just something that I think would be of interest to those who don't know, but this game in part was released to promote a 1989 X-Men cartoon series that was never released, and was later revamped a few years later becoming the X-Men series we all know today. That girl toward the being with Professor X is actually Kitty Pryde not Jean Grey like Matt was saying.
I'm in the middle of a class, and bored out of my mind...so here's how you beat Wolverine's 2nd stage in Arcade's Revenge: -Make sure you drop all the suspended **anvils and weights (they don't need to hit Juggs specifically, he takes damage just by running into them) -In between dropping the anvils, get close and hit Juggernaut with a few uppercut slashes **Some of the anvils and weights have poor hit detection
That's not Jean, that's Kitty Pryde, the game is based off of Pryde of the X-Men. Also, Nightcrawler's dad's Azazel, not Mephisto, totally different Red Demon. Azazel has a demon pirate crew and attacked heaven!
Balls... seriously, that menu looks like they just hit the "rotoscope" in photoshop and called it a day. The Blob looks like a fucking Joe Cartoon caracter from the late 90s!
I was playing 3DS while listening to the video and when Matt yelled "Jennifer Lawrence!" it got my attention. Sure, I wasn't the one he ment.. but I'm gonna pretend I just got a shout-out. ;)
"Me and my dad, we played this together back in the day."
"It was a bonding moment."
Now I want to see a "Best Dads Beat ´Em Ups" video where it is just Pat, Matt, Liam and Woolie´s parents playing games. You know they are supposed to play the game and talk about it, but you also know they will start talking shit about their sons. And THAT... is EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT.
Katamari Roller
Yes. YES!
I love how four guys who don't read X-Men are complaining about Konami not having read X-Men.
All-time #1 best X-men quote:
"NOTHING MOVES THE - OOugh"
You know what's an even better bonding moment between Woolie and his dad than playing X-men? Woolie and his dad double cloth lining a young football player to DEATH!
See the thing about Gladiator not making sense is, he's powered by his own self-confidence, which is just about the best thing ever. He was clearly just intimidated by Rogue's sassy southern wiles.
I love how there's a 15 minute gap in the middle of the video where Matt & Woolie are talking about comic books and Liam literally doesn't say anything because he was too young to have read them.
My favorite part is that the new voice actors (all 2 of them) were specifically told to be as cheesy as possible.
"It's not called Hell to him." You're right. It's called Hel to him. Hel is the land of the dead in Norse mythology and one of the 9 realms. The Christian Hell actually does derive its name from the Norse Hel. It is featured in the comics. Most importantly, it's ruled by Loki's daughter, Hela. So since his own daughter rules Hel, I think he knows what it's called.
Thank you for saying this, that discussion drove me crazy.
I came here to post exactly this, good lookin' out.
also, if I remember right Ragnarok isn't hell, its the apocalypse :P so they were double wrong
Marvel actually has a lot of hell dimensions: Limbo (where Colossus's sister Magik rules); Mephisto's hell, Azazel's hell, Norse Hel, Hades, and more.
Cyclops isnt as bad as people think. He's the first X-Man. He does what needs to be done. It's not his fault that writers dont like him and mess up his character alot
And it's not any one character's fault in Heavy Rain, Indigo Prophecy or Beyond Two Souls that David Cage doesn't know how to write. That won't stop us from hating them all the same.
Also, Fox didn't make it any easier for Marvel to use the X-Men with the rest of the universe.
Cycolps just got raw deal, even in first Uncanny X-Men old comics he's the lamest power compared to the others.
This ones for you, Morph
I have a feeling the audio and video is out of synch solely for when Woolie interrupts Magneto when he says "Welcome to die!" so we can hear Magneto say it.
Thank you, Matt.
You know, Wolverine could defeat bees just by standing there and letting them sting him. Because bees die after they sting you and his healing factor probably gives zero fucks about goddamn bees.
Then again, those are wasps, so maybe slash them a bit.

And yes, I am in fact this nerdy.
I really like how Stan Lee stuck with the mythology for a lot of the things. Making Norse Mythology cooler than it already is.
My good man, you just saved me a great deal of typing.
Zack M
No problem, man :)
I kind of wanted to clap when I read this. Is that weird.
PenOverSword
Not in my eyes. In fact, I would definitely be cool with it if you did :)
If you were a kid back then, and saw this at the movie theatre arcades, this was the freakin best thing ever with it's two wide screen cabinets :)
Woolie, Ragnarok is the end of the world in Asgardian lore. There is a hell, and often times its interchangeable with the other word its called, but its certainly not called ragnarok.
And just to add to it. Saying "I'll see you in Ragnarok" would probably be deemed as encouragement.
This. Also: goddammit Woolie, Azazel is Nightcrawler's father, not fucking Mephisto. Didn't you even watch X-Men First Class? He's basically a red Nightcrawler in that movie. Stop being full of shit.

Using the movies to prove a point about the comics isn't always the best idea. For example, in the comics, but not in the movies, Nightcrawler is also the son of Mystique.
Your profile picture fits so well with this comment.
Chris Merkel Studios Angry Nene is the ultimate pic to use when frustrated or your jimmies have been rustled.

I just remembered how Xavier's childhood was basically reverse Jojo, and Juggernaut is the shit version of Dio.
+TheEditedOne This comment is so understated its killing me inside because its so true!
Man listening to these guys geek out over the X-Men is great
In defense of Cyclops...
In the storyline where he gets it on with Emma right after Jean's death, it's actually Jean from the future who uses her Phoenix powers to manipulate Cyclops into getting with Emma so that the shitty future she was in wouldn't happen. Throughout Morrison's run, there is implication of "stuff" happening between Scott and Emma, but it turns out they were just therapy sessions.
In Whedon's last part of Astonishing, Cyclops' part was really cool.
He's also right now the coolest/most rational character in Marvel with him basically being falsely accused of being a villain since AvX.
Also, I am pretty sure in Thor 2 that Loki was mentioning Hel, the lowest of the nine realms. /endcomicbookfanrant
cyclops is still an asshole i hope one day wolverine kills him
Cyclops' problem is that people write him badly a lot and he's never really been given a time to shine until now.
Cyclops was boring leader-man for most of his existence.
You can thank Fox for that.
Those "therapy sessions" were telepathic sex, sure it seems Cyclops technically didn't cheat to us but to Jean and other telepaths he certainly did.
I think my main problem with Cyclops is that he always acts like he's got the worst mutation, yeah he destroys things with punch dimension eyes *big whoop* put on some ruby lenses and it's fine. Some mutants e.g that kid that kills all organic matter around him have it so much worse.

For me it was Captain America and the Avengers. AMERICA STILL NEEDS YOUR HELP!

"Remember that time when..."
Yes. Every time they say that, I somehow do actually remember whatever crazy thing they're talking about. Though that's basically most comics anyway.
Whenever Professor X talks with his mind it looks like the SA-X is doing a dance on his forehead.
Comics are so awesome because there are so many ridiculous situations that occur in them, but I could never actually read them because there are just SO MANY COMICS!!!
Mal Nexus
Getting lucky by finding a solid starting place, either before or after a shitstorm.

I read everything that comes out every week. Only takes two night usually, sometimes I space the reading out.
When Loki says "See you in Hel" it's accurate...in Norse mythology Hell is spelled HEL short for Helhiem
I was going to say the same thing even though this channel is dead lmfao.
Matt: Dazzler is Jubilee. Nope! Dazzler's power is solar energy and can do nuke like attacks(as she does in this game) Jubilee's was explosions and could do all the way to a fusion bomb(if she wanted to kill) Dazzler was a product of the 70 and Jubilee the late 80s early 90s.

Hel is in Marvel too. She's kind of a jerk. But like... In a mysterious grim reaper way.
I love your zack picture.
But wait, Hel in norse mythology isn't the same thing as what we call Hell if I remember correctly, right?
TheBlackSpiral Not the same, but surprisingly similar. Hel is like the underworld where dead go (if not somewhere else depending on how they died). So you could still use it to say something like "I'm taking you to hell" because its actually a broad word

I was just about to point this out. Nice to see culture.
I did point this out just before I saw this
MrDarklord965 we are all cultured, then
I remember playing a similar x-men arcade game when I was a kid... thanks TBF for my childhood memories once again
FUN FACT: This game is an adaptation of the Pryde of the X-Men pilot.
The character designs are exactly the same and the lineup is the same (Cyclops, Storm, Wolverine, Dazzler, Nightcrawler, Colossus).
I'm sure if they waited a bit longer to make this game, it'd have the Fox Kids X-Men lineup (Cyclops, Wolverine, Storm, Beast, Gambit and Rogue) and it'd FUCKING RULE!!!

This!
I will forever defend my love of Cyclops.
Hel is an actual realm in nordish mythology
+Maioly I know. Ragnarok is armageddon. Hel is just hell.
I feel like such a nerd, I knew of 95% of the things you talked about in this just from playing so many of the games and watching the cartoon...
Asgardian Hell is totally called Hel. It's one of the nine worlds.
I don't know what Woolie's thinking. Ragnarok is basically the Norse version of the apocalypse, so saying "Go to Ragnarok" makes even less sense.
and the norse version of hell is hel, just one less l.
Guys, Asgardians do have an afterlife called Hel. Ragnarock is an event, not a place.
As an Australian I can confirm we all have flame packs.
Wookie its Mark Millar aka guy who wrote Wanted, that wrote Old Man Logan, aka were Logan fights insect hulks
He also wrote Civil War
And the Unfunnies
you bought three copies of Wanted
You allowed it to happen
The long wait for a new video makes it all the better, feels so good gurrrrrl.
"hey nightcrawler could u Bamf across the room and get me my coffee"...."I really don't want to" best ever 26:00
thank you for doing this game. Alex jr. spent days of his life playing this arcade game, and had forgot about it until now
Cyclops was right!
Punchbeams from the punch dimension!
Also the Norse mythology totally has a place called Hel, run by a goddess named Hel
Every time you mention Liefield, an artist's soul dies a little. ;_;
Old Man Logan was written by Mark Millar you nerds! He was the dude who wrote the story where Wolverine crashed a sentinel into a city full of killer ninja's and he killed every single last one of them!
IT WAS MAD HYPE!
The world needs more cities of ninjas being killed by Wolverine
ALL THE CITIES!
Actually I think Whedon referenced that in his Ashtonishing X-Men run.
The fact that theyre playing this not long before they're guests at MAGFest makes me so happy
not to mention Pyro WASN'T immune to fire and could be burned by it if he wasn't paying attention and Iceman is like a freaking Demigod if he ever discovered the true extent of his powers, ice regeneration and reconstruction if he ever lost parts of his body, anyone? Lol
Sounds like that dumb Fiend of Fire from Final Fantasy 4. For some reason he can still be hurt by fire sometimes.
Pat: least kills, but gets the final kill. Pat wins.
Woolie and norse mythology I tell you man...
Ragnarok is the end of the world and Hel (not Hell) is the place they were referring to.
Unless of course this is all comic book logic.
I just KNEW if I refreshed enough a new video would pop up!
Someone needs to photoshop Pat's face onto Magneto.
I remember when I was younger I used to go to Chuck E. Cheese's and play this. I later found out you could get it for $5 on the Xbox Live Arcade. That deal's better than 50 thousand quarters
Fun fact in Norse Mythology their version of hell is actually called Hell. Hellhiem is the long name but many followers of the Norse religion just called it Hell for short.
Wasn't it named after the person who lives there, who is named Hel?
Actually it's called Neifelheim, which is ruled by Hel, Loki's daughter. Hulk Vs Thor kinda explained it.
I always played Storm as she had a slight reach advantage since she used a staff.
Hel is also a place in Norse Mythology. Woolie knows nothing about anything.
25:09 but apocalypse can teleport as well as that you'd think with all his power he'd find a way out
If i remember correctly Juggs did have a run in with the Blob, and What happened was he hit the blob so hard the Earth underneath him gave way so a chunk of the street and the blob flew like 3 miles away from the force
Guys I know that you probably have gotten this before but in Norse myths there is a place called Hel also a person with the same name that runs it
For a group attacking Konami for not reading the comic... You have no clue about the comics. Cyclops sucks 2: first referencing psylocke as the individual of the affair. Later corrected to white queen but still. Also future Jean pushed cyclops to stay with white queen because if he didn't he'd quit the team and things go all post apocalyptic. Wolverine went feral after the removal of adamantium and his secondary mutation kicked in. Stick and Electra brought him back. Just a few errors...
Why is it that mutants in the X-Men series are prominent enough to gain global attention and are the subject of every new station and media outlet, and yet in every other Marvel Series there's barely any mention of other mutants besides the prominent ones?
Oprah's final form is Queen Latifah in taxi.
I love how it looks like night crawler is using super speed
Remember when one of the Green Lanterns was a cartoon squirrel that got sad when he came to Earth and saw that none of the animals were talking cartoon animals, and so he went home and tried to kill himself, but then later somebody runs him over in a tractor, and then in Blackest Night he gets turned into a zombie cartoon squirrel until Guy Gardner shoots him in the face?
And no, I didn't make any of that up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%27p
Did these guys even read the comics? How do you confuse Psylocke and Emma Frost? That stage of grieving thing happened in Astonishing X-men. He did make out with Emma right after Jean died. That happened at the end of the New X-men. But guess what, Jean pushed him to do it from beyond the grave with Phoenix powers, because future would die if Scott and Emma didn't restart the x-men. And you know what? Wolverine may have been cool, but he was never "Magneto bowed down to me" cool. Cyclops is the x-men.
definitely man, Cyclops is the best!
Uh, Woolie? Loki was Hela's father...she had control of one of the nine realms, which was named Hel.
Cyclops is a jock mutant while wolverine is an emo psychopath
Said only you.
Nagato Uzumaki thats fine
OH also one thing they got wrong Nightcrawler is NOT Mephestos son he is Azreal/Azazael's son. Also in the comics there were human sized sentinals to lessen property damage...also Xmen legends had a story around them. This game's plot is based of the old Xmen animated pilot. Magneto pretty much stole all these robots. OH ONE MORE THING I WANT TO SAY. Punisher is the lamest comic book character(used to think it was Hulk) He is LITERALLY EVERY BAD 90S COMIC BOOK ANTI HERO
Thank you!
I think Matt likes him because he's so stupid. I know that's why I do.
***** I love you Thomas.
*****
I was tempted to cheat and link an image of punisher 2099 but I can't find some of the worse covers. He may not have had shoulder pads but he has the pouches www.comicsvf.com/scans/vocanc/punisherwarzone/3.jpg and the biceps goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Punisher_WZ_cover.jpg also a number of 90s anti heroes were also because X killed my Y so now I use the super power of guns.
TO be fair he is better then domino..who's mutant power IS guns
*****
also here is why Hulk is shit, he is boring. All he does is go BRJRJHEDJBFJFB HULK SMASH! So no personality. His power is inconsistent. To beat him you have to hit him just right not too hard(it just pisses him off) not too light(does jack and shit) and the "just right" is always variable(IE whatever the plot calls for unless it is Thor he always wins) though usually he does not stop until a puppy or something calms him down.So he is even overpowered with the how you beat him being variable unless Thor's around.
Man, I love doing the Colossus "All-out" attack sound in real life. That shit makes you feel powerful.
Woolie, not to be rude but he wouldn't say "go to Ragnarok!" because Ragnarok is the Norse version of Armageddon. Plus if Loki was saying Hell, he could've meant Helheim. The Norse underworld...ruled by his daughter in Marvel lore.
Right!
Morph ended appearing on Exiles, that X-Men team that traveled thorugh the multiverse.
Hate to interject here, but there is a Hell in Norse mythology. It's called Hel, short for Helheim. It's the ninth world, and it's even referenced in the Marvel universe. While not a place of eternal punishment (the Christians added that tidbit when they borrowed the name for their version of the underworld), it's a place where the souls of the dead are supposed to go. Some texts refer to it as just another name for the afterlife, while others distinguish it from Valhalla as a place for people who do not die in battle and instead die of sickness or old age go. In the case of the movie, it might still be used wrongly though if Loki is saying that line before violently killing someone (haven't seen the movie so I don't know the context).
I want to point out that was not Jean near the beginning, that was Kitty Pryde my comic nerd rage is epic. Also it wasn't Mephisto it was Azazel.
Wow, I miss this game. These Beat 'em Up episodes are great : ]
I'm not playing the Elder Scrolls Online Beta right now to watch you guys. Feel loved, shitlords.
Damn it, I got into that BETA but I don't have a gaming PC anymore. :(
Did you get an invite for Tomorrow as well? So did I. :3
I imagine the human sized Sentinels are for the really crappy mutants that don't have helpful powers and they just made them that size to cut costs
What series is the one they're talking about when Nightcrawler bamfs Apocalypse to his dimension?
man i still have thus arcade, lover playing it now and then
I've always thought Punisher was a good character, it's just important to remember he isn't really a superhero even as much as Wolverine is. Which is saying something!
Hel (aka Helheim) is a realm of the dead in Norse Mythology. >_>
It should be noted that Cyclops cheats on Jean all the time. Psylocke, Emma Frost, hell one of the next issue of all new x-men has young cyclops macking on X-23 (though I think Jean cheated first there). He even cheated on Jean's clone, who he married, with Jean herself when she cam back to life, which cause her to become the Goblin Queen. What a hero indeed.
Did he ever bang a guy?
That's not a joke, I'm asking a legitimate question. I figure a fop like him had to have taken it in the butt.
Not so far as I know
I think it would be ironic if Scott cheated on Jean with jeans.
Don't think so, but in the Ultimate Marvel series, he and Toad were good friends.
I think he's secondary mutant power is he can't control his penis as well as eye beams.
Colossus. The spirit of Magfest.
I'm actually learning stuff about the Xmen I didn't know before. For example...I knew Cyclops was a complete tool, but I didn't know half of the shit they said about him. xD
Get current. Cyclops is the greatest of all time.
edenfire Honestly Cyclops is just sort of that guy who comes across as a tool even when he's not actively being a tool. It's part of his character, at least imo, and what makes his interactions within the stuff interesting. Sort of like his role/contribution to the cast or whatever you want to call it. Without Cyclops, we'd be stuck with Xavier for Toolness. :3
Thanks to Fox, Cyclops was. If not for them hogging the characters, he wouldn't have been written as the new Magneto.
6:49
You were quick to deny that, Pat.
I enjoyed hearing the badass and retarded stories of the Xmen comics more than the actual video. You guys should play more Xmen games so we can hear more because I stopped reading Xmen comics years ago.
Just something that I think would be of interest to those who don't know, but this game in part was released to promote a 1989 X-Men cartoon series that was never released, and was later revamped a few years later becoming the X-Men series we all know today. That girl toward the being with Professor X is actually Kitty Pryde not Jean Grey like Matt was saying.
Matt, please remember to sync the audio with the video. It gets kind of annoying when you guys react to something that happens 2 to 3 seconds later.
Me and two friends just played this at a barcade and spent more money beating this game than we spent getting drunk.
Actually the Christian term for their after-life, Hell, comes from the Norse Goddess, Hel.
So yes, it does make sense.
never understood the cyclops hate... until this video! Now it's starting to make more sense...
Actually, there's totally an Asgardian Hel.
I'm in the middle of a class, and bored out of my mind...so here's how you beat Wolverine's 2nd stage in Arcade's Revenge:
-Make sure you drop all the suspended **anvils and weights (they don't need to hit Juggs specifically, he takes damage just by running into them)
-In between dropping the anvils, get close and hit Juggernaut with a few uppercut slashes
**Some of the anvils and weights have poor hit detection
Cyclops was right.
He's so right, everyone else becomes wrong by proxy.
Dazzler's power is to turn sound vibrations into light; she's basically her own light show at her concerts.
That's not Jean, that's Kitty Pryde, the game is based off of Pryde of the X-Men. Also, Nightcrawler's dad's Azazel, not Mephisto, totally different Red Demon. Azazel has a demon pirate crew and attacked heaven!
Hel (spelled like that) was totally a place in nose mythology.
Balls... seriously, that menu looks like they just hit the "rotoscope" in photoshop and called it a day. The Blob looks like a fucking Joe Cartoon caracter from the late 90s!
