The dopest voice in all cartoon history in my opinion was Soundwave. Nothing tops his voice. Then Apocalypse from X-men evolution when he had the psychic conversation with Xavier!!! "The future came to me on that craft, I have embraced it, and merged with its technology, so that I may lead the evolution of the human race!"
I will never understand how they took one of the coolest looking villains from the comics & went with such a lame design for the movie. But they did Rogue dirty too so 🤷♂️
And then I saw Oscar Isaac without the makeup and I was like "Man they did Apocalypse even dirtier than I thought" because I didn't know the actor by name.
Cartoon sketches don't translate well into live action. The design is sensible for manufacturing the prop in way that's it's wearable without compromising user mobility. Of course it was let down by his rather human size presence than Thanos level intimidation.
I always thought it was weird how both humans and many mutants would refer to mutants as a different species. It's not. It's still homo sapiens. The only thing that would make them different species is if humans and mutants could not reproduce, or at least if they couldn't produce fertile offspring. Anything else still falls within the same species. They also claim that the only thing that differentiates them is that mutants have the X gene. Sorry, but one gene doesn't matter.
I believe the main reason why Apocalypse ever loses is because of the 'plot': he's based on earth so he has to lose or all our characters are dead. While other overly powerful characters get to destroy planets that nobody cares about and therefore showing their immense strength, Apocalypse doesn't get that luxury which makes him look weaker.
Also, probably because of his arrogance. Because he's so powerful, he believes nobody can ultimately defeat him. That allows people to exploit his very *slight* weaknesses. It's like Palpatine in Star Wars, where because he could see almost any move anyone could make against him, the one thing that could take him down slipped past his foresight: Luke turning Vader against him. We saw this in the animated series, where he has Cable at gunpoint, and instead of killing him there, he turns to ignore him. Believe he doesn't believe Cable can a pose a *genuine* threat to him. Obviously it turned out he was wrong; Cable was a threat, and he gathered too many allies for Apocalypse to combat. Although I do think it was cool of the animated show to show that Apocalypse had actually won in the future; he'd taken over huge parts of territory, and Cable was having to wage all out war against him. He outlived all his old enemies in the X-Men.
As a 44 year old man I find myself sitting here watching these videos back to back just reliving my childhood. I love apocalypse the best and feel my guy is just misunderstood 😂
@@rustymixer2886 What are you even talking about?🤔 Jean Grey and Cable are OMEGA Level Mutants... Storm is Also an OMEGA Level Mutant... So is Magneto.. it took MULTIPLE Omega level Mutants to defeat Apocalypse So Again I ask... what are you even talking about "LESS Mutants"?
@ColinoDeani none of them are near him, like he said I'm above yall as yall above regular humans. If it took 10 "omega" mutants to beat 1 mutant than yeah that 1 mutant is top notch
Oh my, why couldn't the Apocalypse of the 90s X-Men TAS SERIES been made on the big screen. That voice actor deserves some serious recognition. Best monologues for sure.
Idk bout y’all, but Apocalypse was a lot shorter in the movie (Just so small) compared to his comic version. Dude played him pretty well, but they should’ve given him the Thanos CGI work up, in my opinion
That was where Bryan Singer went wrong. He said he wanted to have a much more 'human' Apocalypse, and it was like, "why?" We don't need to have grandfatherly or fatherly Apocalypse in the film, he's supposed to be a beast! XD Bryan Singer's one of those guys where he's done some good things for the franchise, and he's done wrong things for the franchise. You can't really classify him as all good or all bad, creatively speaking.
Oh snap! Y’all done did it now! Apocalypse is my FAVORITE supervillain of all time! Thank you so much for doing a video on him! Please do more on him if at all possible. Thank you so much again!!!👍🏿
Can you imagine if Michael Duncan Clark was still living and he played Apocalypse? His size, his face, his voice and acting ability would have made PERFECT for that role. Omg. Plus if they would have done the C.G like the Transformers. DAMN. THAT would have been classic!
It would be nice to see Apocalypse as the man antagonist in an animated movie. Or at the very least an animation covering his origins. Preferably with the same director as the one who did the X men show back in the nineties.
I do wonder what Apocalypse has planned in the new revival show. Apparently Disney was so impressed they already ordered a season 2, without season 1 having premiered yet! It's the same writers, so it should still have the same quality. When we last left him, he'd been 'killed' and banished to the Astral Plane, but managed to come back by tricking Magneto's former lackey (good riddance, Fabian Cortez sucks). But with him having a very different role in today's X-Men comics, I wonder if he'll change to more of an antagonist, than outright villain? He already tried to destroy the universe and failed, so he probably won't be satisfied with just ruling the Earth again. He has to find something different to go after.
I don’t even have words for how powerful Apocalypse is. He was toned way down in the movie X-men Apocalypse. Apocalypse may be the most powerful being I’ve ever seen.
Honestly Apocalypse has gotten the best rework / reboot of any Villain in marvel Post House Of X - Swords Of X. Seeing him not necessarily leave his role of " Villain " but being and Ally to the X Men and Krakoa. Having him sit down at a Table with Xavier, Jean, Scott, Magneto, Storm, Exodus, Mr. sinister, Emma Frost, Mystique and Shaw. And Giving us this organically softer side of his Character with the Introduction of His Wife and his multiple generations of Omega Level descendants. And the Entire Culture of Arraki Mutants. His new backstory reinforces his Darwinism ideology with more purpose and plot and less generic copy and paste villainy. It was interesting seeing how capable of a leader he could be in a political sense and how much wisdom and resources he had to provide the X Men as an Ally.
Agreed! I love that they took Apocalypse during the Krakoan era and gave him a back story that is befitting of such a long-time character. I've always been a fan of Cable and the AoE universe, so seeing "A" become fleshed out and sympathetic was pretty cool. I do hope we get to see his character come back from Arakko and have a cool story arc at some point in the near future.
I wasn't a fan of him going from ultimate villain to being neutered into an ally He was Apocalypse Seeing him considering other beings his equal isn't apocalypse It's a complete 180 for the character
I saw your Wolverine video yesterday as Wolverine is my favourite comic book character and Apocalypse is definitely my second favourite. I used to enjoy Apocalypse when he showed up in the X-Men animated show which I have been watching recently on Disney + as a kid I don’t think I got to see all of X-Men episodes here in England so it’s been good to get to watch them all in order
I’ll never forget how in the comics when Stryfe delivered such a beat down to Apocalypse. Apocalypse was bleeding and getting knocked around and couldn’t land one hit on Stryfe. It was very impressive. Great comic. Stryfe is basically Cable’s “twin”. Long story. But anyways, I enjoyed this video. I gave a Like 👍
He's a badass and all. However, I tend to have more of an affinity for characters who are more human and not as overpowered. Ive always liked the idea of the "underdog" whether inhanced or not, prevailing over insurmountable odds.
90s apocalypse episodes always gave me a feeling of dread-imagining myself being in the cartoon and having to contend with apocalypse and his terrifying voice.
Here's the thing that everyone forgets....he has technically never been defeated since he fused his DNA with the celestials. He gets postponed alot lol, but never outright beaten. Either he gets trapped in another dimension ( which can't even detain him for too long ) or the battle gets to a point to where he just flees. But to 2nd other people's comments, they have yet to show the true extent of his powers.
Yeah, he's usually more concerned with whatever his current survival of the fittest pop quiz is, and if that gets foiled then he just leaves. He's not interested in killing everyone, he's interested in testing and evolving and recruiting those worthy.
Apocalypse is my favorite X-Men villain, but i HATED his movie portrayal. His portrayal in the 90s cartoon was the best. "I am as far beyond mutants as they are beyond you! I am eternal!"
One of my favorite characters of all time. Especially when written well. Some writers drop the ball but yeah he over powered hulk and Thor. Can’t wait until his return this summer fall of X
I remember watching X Men in the 90's and it was one of my favorite series, if not the most favorite of all at that time. It may not be that they have known how to use villains like Magneto, Stryker, Sebastian Shaw, Sentinels in live action versions, but with two of the MOST powerful villains of the X Men they have made garbage. I remember that I had recorded all the complete episodes of the series on VHS and I even made my own movie combining all the episodes of the Phoenix Saga up to Dark Phoenix in a single video and I put together another one with all the Apocalypse episodes of all the seasons and they fit me some "movies" much better than what they have done lately in Live Action
Say what you want about the movie but Apocalypse was a powerhouse nonetheless. This guy fought all the Xmen to a standstill and if it wasn’t for Jean Grey victory would have been extremely unlikely. His mutant abilities were truly omega. He could transmute matter, enhance the abilities of others, teleport across vast distances, use xavier’s telepathy as his own biological cerebro to contact every mind on the planet. He also possessed technopathy, rapid healing, force field generation. It wasn’t one of his best roles but I liked Oscar Isaac’s portrayal of the legendary villain. He was conveyed as an Apex predator who never had to evolve, an archaic mutant with a god complex. The character lacked depth but he kicked Xavier’s ass along with the rest of the team. A true final boss for sure.
@@starfox8006 He didn’t look stupid. They wanted to make him as real as possible. Avoiding CGI or motion capture. It worked for the story they wanted to tell. Oscar Isaac is a brilliant actor and he successfully brought the character to life. Regardless how he looked, he was a powerhouse nonetheless.
Always been one of my favorite comic characters, thanks for this video. Now I know how powerful he really is. I've been sampling his quotes from the X-Men animated series, he says some pretty dark shit.
In the Marvel multiverse this villian made by Fox studios was just a tad unimpressive when being powerful is concerned. There are others version that is yet to be revealed. Maybe one day a standalone Apocalypse movie by something not by Fox or Disney!
This got to be the best video out here on my guy apocalypse and yes apocalypse needs his own movie to explain more about the cholesterol and their deal
I thought the apocalypse story in the comic books in X-men during the late 80s was awesome , I also really dug mr sinister - the comic books were amazing then : not to slam them now, I haven’t read them so I don’t know if they are good or not
Writers basically have to make him forget about his abilities so that he can be defeated. One thing I would really like to see happen is for him to take up the gem of cyttorak, and become Apocalypse Juggernaut
I doubt that. Cyttorak is a jealous and spiteful demon who wants full loyalty from his avatars. He would absolutely reject Apocalypse for his connection to the same celestials which are the reason he needs an avatar on Earth instead of being on Earth himself anymore.
My favorite villain, with his "sidekick" Mr. Sinister❤ 'em! This was a really amazing video. Hopefully MARVEL will make good on him when they finally get to the X-MEN.
Apocalypse is the ONLY villian that can 1v1 Thanos. Thanos knows he needs power ups like the infinity stones becuz Apocalypse can just weaponize his body to fight, team Apocalypse!!
He should be on the short list for "the big bad" of the McU now that they have the rights. Of all the potential villains, Kang was a ridiculous choice.
Kang also got his ass kicked by Apocalypse, if I remember right. I think they're probably saving the really big stories for Doctor Doom, which poses an interesting issue. We know Doom has an actual good reason for what he does, besides just wanting power. He also considers himself a worthy ruler of his country. It might be interesting to have two villainous 'kings', one human, the other mutant, dueling over the fate of humanity and the world, while all the heroes are caught in the middle. Instead of doing one 'big bad', do two morally complex bad guys that actually have great reasons for what they do. And maybe if the heroes take them down completely, it would be the worst possible outcome for Earth. I don't know if Marvel is capable of it, but I think that would be a good route for them.
The only problem with that is the work Marvel would have to put in to rehabilitate him from that awful X-men movie but I agree he definitely should be the big bad at some point
@Chris Segee if they were as patient (BIG IF, recent $ failures probably have them desperate) as they were with Thanos, they'd have 6-8 years of slowly building him up.
You forgot Apocalypse, like Thanos lives by a code. Social Darwinism, where only the strong has the right to live. He is not necessarily Evil, more of a force of nature. The Dracula blood etc story Arc was butchered and rushed to a head scratching ending that involves Dracula.
“Bunch of androids….Apocalypse shows up and can control them all…” That movie KINDA sorta was already made. Avengers: Age of Ultron. Android army commanded by a single entity by his mind/network. I dunno, kinda sounds similar. I’d like to see an Apocalypse movie of that too.
ive been noticing lots of parts of the script essentially loop/ are repeated a handful of times? not trying to be negative or anything just curious if its a problem on my side or literally in the video
4:25... what do you mean by he can "Strangle his enemies with his body..." Like, Plastic Man or something? The visual reference is just him choking Psylocke... what's special about that?
hard to say I would love to see Apocalypse on the big screen. However FOX proved they can't do the character justice and I have zero Faith in Disney especially with the current problems they face with begining to go belly up.
@@ShaolinSoldier dude you need to pay attention to whats going down with the Mouse right now. They are getting rid of 7k jobs aacross their theme parks as well as gettign rid of the entire department that does Marvels comic books. this is not a sign of a successful business, in fact the opposite.
Apocalypse, Thanos, Magneto and Dr. Doom all need their respective origins as video games, where you play as them and make choices that effect outcomes like in Witcher 3.
Yet with all that energy, knowledge, intellect, and power, he still get defeated again and again by the X-men.. Anyway, in the movie his original power was his ability to absorb the power and abilities of other mutants, like Rogue, only permanently at the expense of their death. In the 1990's animated TV series, his longevity was due to his Lazarus chamber. Which is why he would disappear for a time to regenerate.
In the start of movie he is seen to age & very old, and the transfer chamber allows him to switch bodies to a new host body....only this time into a mutant with rapid healing & very slow ageing like Wolverine. I'm not sure about the techno pyramid origins though like is it something Apocalypse creates or another power taken from a mutant who has knowledge to build celestial level tech.
Can’t thank you enough for this Apocalypse video.
Agreed. He’s my top 3 Marvel villains of all time.

Say what you want about the movie but Apocalypse was a powerhouse nonetheless.
This guy fought all the Xmen to a standstill and if it wasn’t for Jean Grey victory would have been extremely unlikely. His mutant abilities were truly omega. He could transmute matter, enhance the abilities of others, teleport across vast distances, use xavier’s telepathy as his own biological cerebro to contact every mind on the planet. He also possessed technopathy, rapid healing, force field generation. It wasn’t one of his best roles but I liked Oscar Isaac’s portrayal of the legendary villain. He was conveyed as an Apex predator who never had to evolve, an archaic mutant with a god complex.
The character lacked depth but he kicked Xavier’s ass along with the rest of the team. A true final boss for sure.
Fox studios made him look soooo stupid
@@starfox8006 really he was talking about him dominating not the design of the character smh
@@frandemarco yeah don't matter, fox still made him look stoooopid.
@@starfox8006 He didn’t look stupid. They wanted to make him as real as possible. Avoiding CGI or motion capture. It worked for the story they wanted to tell. Oscar Isaac is a brilliant actor and he successfully brought the character to life. Regardless how he looked, he was a powerhouse nonetheless.
@@master-of-mind5881 he looked straight up retarded bro. I'm a hardcore comic fan. Nobody wants a 5'5 Apocalypse
Always been one of my favorite comic characters, thanks for this video. Now I know how powerful he really is. I've been sampling his quotes from the X-Men animated series, he says some pretty dark shit.
Man, I had high hopes for his cinematic debut but it turned out to be a turd; Apocalypse is one of my favorite Marvel Characters
More like En Sabah Turd am I right?!?
The greatest villain ever written imo.
Could be written better and i agree 👍
“Apocalypse cannot not exist.” Nuff said
You forgot his godlike ability to trash talk while whipping your ass
Apocalypse died way too easily in the movie.
Same with Sabastien Shaw
that was weird because apocalysp cant die no?
In the Marvel multiverse this villian made by Fox studios was just a tad unimpressive when being powerful is concerned. There are others version that is yet to be revealed. Maybe one day a standalone Apocalypse movie by something not by Fox or Disney!
@@changsangma1915 I swear these characters are nerfed to the point of being useless.
Apocalypse, Thanos and Ultron would be a excellent team.
Very true but they wouldn’t get along long enough to accomplish much. Their in fighting would be epic though
@@rbname7318 I agree
They'd prolly run a train on each other
When I was a kid and Apocalypse would come on the x-men animated show it was scary man, his voice and everything
Where does the artwork come from for these thumbnails. They are AWESOME!
“I am Balrog, and my super power is that I, uhhhhh, have everybody’s powers”
“Damn it Cartman you can’t do that”
APOCALYPSE SINISTER AND STRYFE ROCK, my favorite bad guys🧔🏽♂️👍🏽
This got to be the best video out here on my guy apocalypse and yes apocalypse needs his own movie to explain more about the cholesterol and their deal
Apokolypse could possibly take control of the Sentinels, including Nimrod.
False
With his technopathy i believe it
UA-cam, I guess I’ll watch this. I mean might as well you been shoving it through my feed the past day lmfao
I thought the apocalypse story in the comic books in X-men during the late 80s was awesome , I also really dug mr sinister - the comic books were amazing then : not to slam them now, I haven’t read them so I don’t know if they are good or not
Current X-men has been pretty great, editorial’s been shitting on Spider-man since One More Day though
He definitely deserves his own orgin film 🎥
As well as many others, I would love to see an Apocalypse movie. I mean one that's two and a half hour long that is basicly a biography. Thank you
Writers basically have to make him forget about his abilities so that he can be defeated. One thing I would really like to see happen is for him to take up the gem of cyttorak, and become Apocalypse Juggernaut
Yep. Dude can manipulate his cellular structure. Hence, he is, as a character, at the mercy of whatever writers choose to do with him.
I doubt that. Cyttorak is a jealous and spiteful demon who wants full loyalty from his avatars. He would absolutely reject Apocalypse for his connection to the same celestials which are the reason he needs an avatar on Earth instead of being on Earth himself anymore.
@@knightofkorbin888 You should look up the story about Trion Juggernaut.
My favorite villain, with his "sidekick" Mr. Sinister❤ 'em! This was a really amazing video. Hopefully MARVEL will make good on him when they finally get to the X-MEN.
I hated how chubby they made Oscar Isaac look, the comic book look should have been used heavily
"I cannot be harmed, I cannot be touched. Watch, as I bring the purity of oblivion...to your world."
I would love to se an animated film well written with great art
One of the best villains ever!
Apocalypse is the ONLY villian that can 1v1 Thanos. Thanos knows he needs power ups like the infinity stones becuz Apocalypse can just weaponize his body to fight, team Apocalypse!!
No
Really? The ONLY villain? What about cytorrak or galactus ? They would decimate Thanos
They did apocalypse so fucking dirty in live action. He’s literally the final villain in X-men
He should be on the short list for "the big bad" of the McU now that they have the rights. Of all the potential villains, Kang was a ridiculous choice.
Kang also got his ass kicked by Apocalypse, if I remember right.
I think they're probably saving the really big stories for Doctor Doom, which poses an interesting issue. We know Doom has an actual good reason for what he does, besides just wanting power. He also considers himself a worthy ruler of his country. It might be interesting to have two villainous 'kings', one human, the other mutant, dueling over the fate of humanity and the world, while all the heroes are caught in the middle. Instead of doing one 'big bad', do two morally complex bad guys that actually have great reasons for what they do. And maybe if the heroes take them down completely, it would be the worst possible outcome for Earth. I don't know if Marvel is capable of it, but I think that would be a good route for them.
The only problem with that is the work Marvel would have to put in to rehabilitate him from that awful X-men movie but I agree he definitely should be the big bad at some point
@Chris Segee if they were as patient (BIG IF, recent $ failures probably have them desperate) as they were with Thanos, they'd have 6-8 years of slowly building him up.
@@newdgamer4118 very true they could have very easily built him back now it will be another mess I fear ( if they do it at all)
Excellent work as always Marvelous Videos
Here’s a Death Battle that I’d Freakin Love to see 👊😎
Apocalypse Vs All For One
"The One Above All"
How many powers does Apocalypse have?
Yes.
It did XMEN a serious disservice how much Apocalypse was nerfed in the movie.
2 second clip: he's a mutant
I love your videos keep up the good work
You forgot Apocalypse, like Thanos lives by a code. Social Darwinism, where only the strong has the right to live. He is not necessarily Evil, more of a force of nature. The Dracula blood etc story Arc was butchered and rushed to a head scratching ending that involves Dracula.
my fav quote from the uncanny x-men cartoon of all time is "i am as far beyond mutants as mutants are beyond you" -apocalypse
The movie missed up his abilities and made him into a mutant with leeches power turned way up
“Bunch of androids….Apocalypse shows up and can control them all…”
That movie KINDA sorta was already made. Avengers: Age of Ultron. Android army commanded by a single entity by his mind/network. I dunno, kinda sounds similar. I’d like to see an Apocalypse movie of that too.
He's basically unbeatable...
he cant die?
@@christianprevost8455 he's immortal..An Ex-ternal which is a group of immortal mutants plus all his other upgrades.
@@munoken oh ok
@@christianprevost8455he cant die for long he has multiple ways to come back
ive been noticing lots of parts of the script essentially loop/ are repeated a handful of times?
not trying to be negative or anything just curious if its a problem on my side or literally in the video
Mans was Madly Nerfed in the movie 🙁
and looked awful
Everytime in X men the cartoon I heard Storm say Apocalypse then her thunder struck gave me chills
I don't like the way he looks in the movie, his face isn't distorted enough.
16:36
What the hell is 8 star star?!
Marvel tends to make heros and Villains way to powerful
Human mutant. Glad I cleared that up for you.
He is the rocks of the eternal shore.
Crash against HIM and be BROKEN!
4:25... what do you mean by he can "Strangle his enemies with his body..." Like, Plastic Man or something? The visual reference is just him choking Psylocke... what's special about that?
hard to say I would love to see Apocalypse on the big screen. However FOX proved they can't do the character justice and I have zero Faith in Disney especially with the current problems they face with begining to go belly up.
181 billion= belly up
@@ShaolinSoldier dude you need to pay attention to whats going down with the Mouse right now. They are getting rid of 7k jobs aacross their theme parks as well as gettign rid of the entire department that does Marvels comic books. this is not a sign of a successful business, in fact the opposite.
Apocalypse first appeared in X-Factor #5 (June 1986)
Apocalypse deserves his own movie as much as Black Adam did.
Apocalypse, Thanos, Magneto and Dr. Doom all need their respective origins as video games, where you play as them and make choices that effect outcomes like in Witcher 3.
O.p isn’t the word.
THIS! Is Apocalypse, that bullshit in the movie was not apocalypse. Great video 👍
BUT CAN HE REPRODUCE???
(As far as his "species", that's simple...
Mutant.)
Yes, he had a son named Nemesis, who was later known as Holocaust.
Yes he has children and plus hes a metamorph so he could control his stuff lol 😆
Yes he has children, Blink and Chamber are his descendants etc.
I am the rocks of the eternal shore, crash against me and be BROKEN! - Apocalypse
Yet with all that energy, knowledge, intellect, and power, he still get defeated again and again by the X-men..
Anyway, in the movie his original power was his ability to absorb the power and abilities of other mutants, like Rogue, only permanently at the expense of their death. In the 1990's animated TV series, his longevity was due to his Lazarus chamber. Which is why he would disappear for a time to regenerate.
In the start of movie he is seen to age & very old, and the transfer chamber allows him to switch bodies to a new host body....only this time into a mutant with rapid healing & very slow ageing like Wolverine. I'm not sure about the techno pyramid origins though like is it something Apocalypse creates or another power taken from a mutant who has knowledge to build celestial level tech.
