Yeah. Jay was sweet and I did find his interactions with Dust kind of adorable because they were like two very shy kittens. That issue where she meets his mum made me cry.
For card/character synergies, I think it's worth noting Cannonball also works well with Professor X. Cards can't move into Professor X's location, whether it's full or not, so he can help set up a situation for Cannonball to destroy another card
All I need now is Karma for my full OG New Mutants deck. Something I like about Sunspot and Cannonball is how much of a bromance they have, but in my head canon , similar to Logan, Scott, & Jean, Roberto, Sam, & Izzy are in a throuple as well.
I didn't make the connection until your backstory that him leaving rocks behind harkens back to his mining background, which is cool! Really hope they go back to having him leave behind a rock after moving the opponent too, like the original data mine.
I remember reading an X-Force comic when I was a kid and being blown away by his character. I also remember being disappointed with his figure back in the day because he had no jet blast lol. He came with like a catapult 😂
@@ThePapaDragon Yeah. She survived until issue 6. Then she came back, got shunted off for 11 years finding her siblings, found them, came out, continued that tradition of being one of the girls Kitty stands up and is usually one of the cooler heads on a team. The closest she had to a commanding role would probably be in the Shadow King side of Vita Ayala’s new mutant run. That’s a great book. Her name was also changed a little to be more authentically Vietnamese; Xuan.
@@christopherbennett5858 yeah; I get why they went with Shan at the time for readability but I do vastly prefer a more authentic approach, especially with the multinationality of all the mutants
@ Yeah. At the time, the resources were limited. At least now there’s a little more effort put in. Just surprised that she’s never seen in adaptations because you’d think she’d be seen as rather compelling. For me, Karma fits into the same category of mutants as Stacy X, Beak, Angel Salvadore and Dust of “I just want these ones to be happy.”
Got an ad right in the middle... Nando: This is similar to the first actual RELATIONSHIP relationship Sam will have which is Ad: NEEDLES. Necessary for sewing Bear Bear back together again. But maybe not necessary for you. Me: Ah. So it's a Demon in a Bottle thing.
Ngl, until this very moment I thought Cannonball was that guy from the Wrecking Crew. You know the 4-5 guys who got Asgardian enchantments on some construction equipment.
I really appreciate the reading recommendations. Didn’t care much for Pixie strikes back, but I loved Hawkeye and Mockingbird (was not expecting Crossfire to be treated with that much gravitas seeing as I was introduced to the character in the 2015 Ant-man book). Excited for more😊
Yeah… and yikes. But I have to admit that his crush on Dust was cute. Mostly because, with her racist roommate Surge being around, I was all for Sooraya getting some sort of positive interaction.
@@liamlennon3316 Unfortunately, much like Judaism, Islam has often been described as being an ethnoreligion. Regardless, you have to wonder what Dani Moonstar and the staff were thinking with that decision.
@@EricChoiniere Ohh okay, so you take off the 'Ro' at the start, and then remove the 'r' in the middle, and also you say the 'e' differently? Yeah that makes sense, that seems like a reasonable shortening.
Beto is probably the most common nickname for Roberto in Brazil, and he’s a Brazilian character. He’s very often called Berto or Bobby in comics, but Beto is better
@@eieru_ Interesting! I wonder how Nando became aware of the Beto nickname if it hasn't been used in the comics. I'm used to everyone calling him Bobby, or just Roberto
Enjoyed marvel snap but had to give it up. Multiplayer games have a bad effect on my mental health and in game transaction have a bad effect on my wallet.
If Nando doesn't open the War Machine video with "Boom, you lookin' for this?" we riot.
Why do I even talk to you guys? Everyone else, that story kills.
The Guthries are like the mutant Weasleys
Yeah.
Jay was sweet and I did find his interactions with Dust kind of adorable because they were like two very shy kittens.
That issue where she meets his mum made me cry.
This is how I describe them to my parents
😂 spot on

I used to use something similar with Jean Grey & Juggernaut, play Jean first then Juggy (or Cannonball) if you like.
HE‘S NIGH‘ INVULNERABLE WHILE BLASTING!!!!!!
One of my favorite issues as a teen was uncanny x-men 341 where Sam goes toe to toe with Gladiator. Lots of great art from Joe Madureira in that one.
I feel the need to mention that Gladiator wasn't in the best headspace there and cause his confidence was lower, his power levels were weakened.
such a great issue
Such a great issue. I miss Sam being the leader he was during later New Mutants and X-Force
And, of course, if Gladiator pulls Canonball in Snap, Gladiator gets knocked into another location.
17:02 ....I'm sorry, but you choose the codename Icarus and you expect NOT to die?????

One of my favorites this season, love the flavour in the ability.
Keep up the good work man, I appreciate this series
So Mirage and Cannonball are kinda like Spock and Kirk? Honestly, i love that dynamic in leadership, i should really read some more New Mutants.
After the first leader, Karma, supposedly died.
@@christopherbennett5858I mean that happens kind of immediately, and once Karma comes back she doesn’t exactly fulfil that leader role anymore
@@ThePapaDragon Yeah. She survived until issue 6.

im so glad that you're excited to talk about the thunderbolts! im so ready for those videos haha
Are you going to make videos about already existing cards too? That would be awesome!
I have an Original Cannonball painting/sketch by Joe Jusko of him
I don't even play snap anymore, I just like your breakdowns of obscure comics characters
Hey Nando, thanks for getting me into Marvel Snap! I'm addicted now lmao
I'm not very interested in the card, but the character sounds cool. I wanna see more of him in either the comics or a future audition to the MCU
Ngl, until this very moment I thought Cannonball was that guy from the Wrecking Crew. You know the 4-5 guys who got Asgardian enchantments on some construction equipment.
Always great rewatch videos 🎉🎉
Good coverage!
Did you know he’s nigh invulnerable when blasting?!!
Really enjoyed this! Surprised nobody has really talked about using him with Prof X.
So glad you do these videos, I've been looking for this exact thing!
I really appreciate the reading recommendations. Didn’t care much for Pixie strikes back, but I loved Hawkeye and Mockingbird (was not expecting Crossfire to be treated with that much gravitas seeing as I was introduced to the character in the 2015 Ant-man book).
Excited for more😊
I don''t remember Husk doing super well stability-wise last time I saw her in Wolverine and the X-Men. She was definitely on Krakoa though
I loved Canonball and Sunspot in Hickman’s avengers, and I’m excited to learn more about him
Haven't played the game in months but love this series
He has another sister who lost her powers on Mday. I think her name is Melody and she could fly. I'm not sure if she got her powers back on Krakoa.
Hot take, the New Mutants movie was good actually.
I wanted to see more of them.
Just unlocked this character while on SNAP lmao
You know, the way you talk about Cannonball joining the X-Men makes it sound like it actually doesn't go very well...
why would someone intentionally choose the name Icarus given what happens to him in the myth...its like naming a new cruise ship Titanic
Yeah… and yikes.
But I have to admit that his crush on Dust was cute. Mostly because, with her racist roommate Surge being around, I was all for Sooraya getting some sort of positive interaction.
Surge wasn't racist. She just criticized her religion

IM SOOO HAPPY HES MY FAVE!!!
omg we love new mutants so much,
Vita Ayla's run was really good too
"18 to 25"
Uh, doesn't he have a daughter now?
If he cant move someone they die to rocks. Just like Sam's father...
real quick.... who the hell is "Beto"?...... pretty sure the boys name is Roberto Dacosta
Good vidd
Bedo? I thought his name was Robert Da Costa?
Isn't Beto a nickname for Roberto? Like Beto O'Rourke?

Did they call him that in the movie? _____i own the original 100 issues, i never heard that other nickname back then in the books
Enjoyed marvel snap but had to give it up. Multiplayer games have a bad effect on my mental health and in game transaction have a bad effect on my wallet.
I respect that
I love Cannonball
i feel like making someone's codename "icarus" is deeply irresponsible
❤
Fta
Wish you’d stop saying “Beto”. Other than that great job
Nobody would call following source material woke ugh
Then why do grifters complain about the comics themselves being "too woke"? 🤔
Netflix got called woke for a gay Alexander the great....
They would tho, some people care that little
and this is more about calling the source material woke
