This trilogy is my favorite Marvel story. Alex Ross is a genius. To put together every single aspect of the MU at the time it was beautiful. Characters that you haven't seen since you were a kid become relevant, criminals that always get caught have their potential shown. I watch this every time Rob puts it up. I wish he would get it together and do Universe and ParadiseX!!!
You know what is funny about this storyline? The fact that as this is a alternative timeline in the marvel universe, it puts into perspective the whole story of apocalypse in that comic arc involving the young Thor when he first met him. More specifically apocalypses' contact with the celestial technology and the agreement he made with that celestial in exchange for learning how to use the tech he found. It feeds into the whole psychology of apocalypse and his ideology of survival of the fittest and why it made sense. The celestials basically nurtured that ideology in him for the purposes of guiding the new evolving humans into battling each other all the while becoming stronger to the point they can protect the celestial egg inside the earth.
Yes- good observations. Add to all that how Hickman (in S.H.I.E.L.D.) had the Brotherhood of the Shield cut a deal with the Celestials to save the Earth waaay back in ancient China. They put their embryo in the Sun instead of the Earth. SO much of modern Marvel is derived from this great series- with many of the best writers using it as inspiration.
I was so hyped on this whole series back then (universe x and paradise x as well). The way they connected the history of marvel comics and provided an explanation for it all. The wait in between each issue was agonizing!
Thank you so much for doing this. Earth X is one of my all time favorites and really enjoyed seeing Alex Ross'artistic vision of a dystopian future Marvel Universe - kind of like the Marvel version of what he did with, DC's "Kingdom Come"
This story is my fav of all-time. I freaked out at some of these revelations. I hope he did the other two stories. I loved all of the little details. Like Skull riding in MODOKs chair? Damnnnn!
I mean, killing Death, then finding out that wasn't a good thing ? So they had to make a new Death from the obscure character from one issue of Two In One. The writers really knew their Marvel history.
I listen to these videos every single day on the way to work/on the way home. Others listen to music. I listen to this golden voice lol. Don't stop Rob, your videos are what got me back into reading comics. Never stopped liking them, just stopped reading. You've given that back to me and I appreciate you for that.
I found this video because Jim Krueger himself recommended it! Really great job, and you sound much better than most out there. Consider me a new subscriber :D
Wish Kevin feige would make earth x a trilogy movie. This would be the biggest movie ever in the mcu. It's a great story line with all the greatest characters in the marvel universe. I remember collecting this entire series connecting the covers to make the most beautiful poster, and Alex Ross's art is so magical. It would make a great movie. It's a great comic book saga. I love the end when black bolt screams norrin to come bring galactus and devour the celestials. Just amazing.
I’ll never forget picking up a earth x comic as a kid and it totally blew my 11 year old mind. Never got around to reading the entire series though so thank you for this!
I met Jim Krueger, the writer of the series, back in 2001 at the Chicago Comic-con and he was a real awesome guy. He signed all my Earth X and Universe X comics that were out at the time. Also, you seem to think that Skull gave Cap visions but that's Spiders-man doing that. The Skulls powers are analogous to The Mule from Issac Asimov's Foundation series. He doesn't control your thoughts but your emotions and can basically nail them in place.
Watching this for the 4th time and have been asking on and off on his vids to do Universe and Paradise Xto no avail. I really wish he did. I love this story and more people need to get hop to the amazing story
Yes to both please!!! Also have you thought of releasing just the audio of these videos as a podcast? I would listen to listen to them at work in a heartbeat!
Once again I gotta thank the hell out of u Rob. Earth X was a great original story that i really enjoyed and had never heard of so probably would have never read. This is why this channel is so dear to me. Love ya a bunch buddy!
Four years later I’m still waiting, I’ve read universe, paradise, and marvels x. And while I enjoy a lot of parts of the three(ask me and I’ll give details) I do admit the stories on the whole can be confusing especially with mephisto’s plan over universe and paradise.

When it comes to Blackbolt I'd argue there might not be as much buffing and nerfing of his powers in terms of their individual use (not their upper limits where he can break a god) if you consider projecting your voice. Actors can use their diaphragm and stance to help get their voice to carry around an auditorium even as a whisper, it is louder and audibly distinct but its still a whisper. Id argue in the individual instance where decimated that area with a whisper he made that whisper carry by essentially pushing that whisper out. Love the compilation videos though been watching them non stop lately thank you for doing these :).
the 'Everybody becomes Inhumans with global Terrigen Mists' thing was also in the recent Inhumanity event and was the main plot in that Avengers game nobody liked
@@Voltan I will never forgive that movie for taking that plot point but completely ignoring the idea of the eternals being trapped in space vibranium. If only because being trapped nigh-unbreakable metal makes more sense than an oath not to interfere in non-deviant threats.
Hey Rob I've never commented on your stuff before but I am a major fan and love the comic histories especially your delivery of some of these elegant but convoluted stories in a way that I can digest in an hour and a half! I'm not sure if you did Universe acts and Paradise acts but I sure hope so I'll be looking for them
Rob, I'd love for to see you do "Paradise X" & "Universe X." I listen to your channel all the time while I'm driving, (I'm a trucker) and it keeps my mind occupied on the miles. Plus it keeps me up to date on stuff I've missed over the years.
You're forgetting when this was written. This was written before Brubaker's Captain America run where we retconned Bucky as still alive, that's why he's still dead in this. Valeria Richards isn't mentioned because she didn't exist yet, this was written before Chris Claremont created her. You may as well ask why Miles Morales isn't in it.
14:31 I've watched this video over 100 times easily no lie & 3 years later, it's June 5th 2021 & this is STILL on one the funniest threats/reactions/jokes Rob has ever blessed us with💯😂🤣 straight outta old school 90s wrestling, 'If i see a Galactus panel pop up on here 🤦🏾♂🤬 Maaaann ur gonna be in world of hurt 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾' 😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤💯💯
Glad I'm not the only person that loves this story!!!! I felt like for years everyone I met talked trash about this fantastic story! Better than kingdom come fight me!!!!!
Wow!! I heard of this story for a long time but I never really been a comic person and start read each one. Thank you very much in explaining everything that has happened in part 1 of the trilogy and I definitely want to hear about Universe X and Paradise X :-D
Thank you for allowing me to finally hear this story. When I was a kid I picked up a issue because I thought the cover was cool but it didn’t really have much story inside it was just introductions to all of the characters with a little written next to their pictures. For some reason I LOVED that thing but I was never able to find any of the other issues. I had actually never even heard of the inhumans then and for the longest time thought they were just invented for this as a future x men spin off lmao
@Robcorps...I love what you do..Everytime, I listen to these comics..You make them seem that much more exciting..I grew up watching Spiderman, X Men, & Justice League you take me back to my child hood everytime that I tune in..You're the best Rob..Definitely, get me through tough times..
Not a complaint about the video, Rob I love your stuff especially your long videos, I listen to them at work and they help me be through the days. That being said does it bother anyone else that they make a point of Captain America not killing people, especially people who are evil to the core and commit terrible atrocities. The guy was a soldier in WW2 where he had no choice but to kill people, not that I'm advocating Nazism but soldiers are not inherently evil regardless of what side they fight on, they are just people doing their jobs and he killed the hell out of a bunch of them.
You have to remember that up until six issues into the EX story it was an "in continuity" future of the Marvel universe there is even a six issue miniseries depicting how Reed turned Galactus into a sun, the plan fell apart when the writer for this story wanted Johnny Storm to die in the actual FF book that's when the decision was made to make the rest of the X trilogy going forward an out of continuity story.
Guy has the best sleep voice and stories ever! Sounds strange but play this while sleeping and dream about being a superhero, try it never fails! I got this guy on playlist and call it sleep mix lol. And Yaaaaaaaaa! Peace
Rob, we are still waiting for Universe X and Paradise X. I'm actually surprised that nobody has done this before other than talking about it in passing. This is one of my favorite Marvel series. Please, good sir, finish the bloody series.
I really line this format. You tell the stories complete instead of one by one. It makes it harder to follow one by one. Kepo it this way or make them like this after you're done with them one by one. 👍👍👍
Cap doesn't have a no Kill rule. Cap used to mow enemy soldiers down with machine guns and shit. He just considers it tactically better and more humane to capture when he can. Gets more info that way.

Man, the art on those covers is so majestic, it’s a shame Alex Ross didn’t draw the whole thing. I don’t believe the story is done proper justice
Alex Ross is one of the greatest artists on earth, if not the very greatest.
Can’t take anything away from Alex Ross, but JPL’s art in this series is incredible. R.I.P.
JPL's art is wonderful.
it seriously sucks so much that he only does covers now
14:18 I like when rob gets hyped about stories "oooh man! Guys wait, just wait until...!!!" LMFAO
This story is my fav of all-time. I freaked out at some of these revelations. I hope he did the other two stories. I loved all of the little details. Like Skull riding in MODOKs chair? Damnnnn!
I loved the Earth X Trilogy. It was just so breathtaking.
Reed Richards: "It's finally over."
Doctor Strange: "We're in endgame now."
I mean, killing Death, then finding out that wasn't a good thing ? So they had to make a new Death from the obscure character from one issue of Two In One. The writers really knew their Marvel history.
Lol seeing this written out this way... it's just like The End Of Death in the SCP universe.
At least it was like the cancerverse
I’m sad and this is lowkey the only thing that makes me happy thanks rob

No, read Marvels X.
The comics feel a lot more emotional hearing Rob's voice after his passing RIP buddy

I'm sure Iceman must go to Chicago for Winter vacation
Once again I gotta thank the hell out of u Rob. Earth X was a great original story that i really enjoyed and had never heard of so probably would have never read. This is why this channel is so dear to me. Love ya a bunch buddy!
Of course we would like more of Earth X

It's crazy how so many ideas from this series shows up in comics' main continuity and the cinematic universe.
yeah the Eternals movie straight up takes that 'Humanity as Celestial Antibody' concept the Earth/Paradise X series laid the foundation for.
the 'Everybody becomes Inhumans with global Terrigen Mists' thing was also in the recent Inhumanity event and was the main plot in that Avengers game nobody liked
@@Voltan I will never forgive that movie for taking that plot point but completely ignoring the idea of the eternals being trapped in space vibranium. If only because being trapped nigh-unbreakable metal makes more sense than an oath not to interfere in non-deviant threats.
It’s crazy how one messed up universe of MARVEL folklore would end up spanning an amazing trilogy of this crazy series. This is NUTS, DUDE!
Such a great retelling.
Really liked some of the redesigns.
I Also legit thought the the Skull was Franklin and no one could see for some reason.
Man, I so love these! I love how you go back and bring up all things that are relevant. Yes please, cover all the things!

Came back to rewatch this 3 years later. Please go back and do Universe X and Paradise X!
Well damn Rob, that was pretty epic and I'm not usually a Marvel guy myself. Awesome!
Please do both I listen to these at work every day for 8 hours I haven't read any marvel or DC and have learned a whole lot from you
Yes I want to see both paradise X and universe X
Bro i remember watching this a year ago and absolutely begging for paradise and universe X and im still waiting what u doing
This comic looks incredibly beautiful, it really gives me sandman vibes for some reason.
