#Marvel #Thor #BetaRayBill
Walt made thor look so bad ass in his old costume. I forgot how much I preferred that old costume and look of asgard. There was very little to improve design wise.
Walt Simonson’s run on Thor was some of the best art and storytelling in the 80’s.
How does it hold up today? Sadly, John Byrne’s work doesn’t hold up all that well.
I remember this as a kid. It was one of the greatest stories I had read. Walt Simonson’s run on Thor brought new life to the series.
Beta-Ray Bill is a cool character and doesn't get enough attention. I would love to see a movie about his backstory.
Take a shot every time he says Scuttlebutt.
They could easily make this a movie. I hope we see him on the big screen some day.
Maybe Thor 5, along side Hercules.
Of all of those doing commentaries and histories of Classic Comic Characters you give the most informed performance and the visuals you choose fit precise;y the story lines you are sharing with us, and not only this but they also provode evidence of what you are saying. Thank you for you wonderful work and service to the comic community.
My childhood thanks you. Walt Simonson was one of the best things that happened to the Thor mythos
Bro. How you don't have over one million subscribers is beyond me! I've binged your entire channel the past week - amazing work! I’d love to see you do a video about Iron Man. I’d be more than willing to collab or help with anything for that video!
Omg those are some amazing character arcs! They could easily make a 3 movie series out of that! thanks for education me on my new favorite super hero!
Awesome vid, thanks for the info!
I never knew that a Marvel character like Beta Ray Bill is such a massive fan favourite. I collected Thor comics in the late 80s, just missing out on the classic Walt Simeonson run where Bill made his appearances. Great synopsis. I'd like to know the origins of Jack of Hearts. *EXCELSIOR!!*
Beta Ray Bill deserves his own Marvel special.
Can you do history of Namor the Submariner, Crossfire, Living Laser, Whiplash, Darkhawk, Union Jack, Annihilus and the Broods?
Alpha is an early version of a software program and Beta is the software program undergoing tests that comes after Alpha. Perfect names for the characters.
Sith had the thickest legs in comics lmao
*Sif.
It’s probably difficult to make him look good and realistic but I’d love to see bill in the mcu all we got is an Easter egg so far
0:38 "Was wiped oot." LOL, you must be Canadian! 🤣🤣🤣
please, do videos on the enchanting Asgardian sisters: Amora and Lorelei.
⚡😎⚡
I just got this channel on my recommendations but I usually watch comicestorian,nerd explain or variant.
I'm enjoying this more.
The narration is great & to the point 👉.
Subscribing 🤗
Amazing video, very informative.
Wow, you did an amazing job, thanks!
I can't believe I am crying...😢 beautifully read
one of my favorite charaters in Marvel. Beta has more gusto than thor to me.
I have always like beta ray bill more than Thor as well.
i appreciate all your videos dont stop making vids i love them so much
Love this guy he will probably be in guardians and eventually in space Avengers with Nova Captain Marvel Jack of Hearts Pip And Nova
Just recently found this channel and hooked!!
Indeed bata ray bill is awesome I LOVE BILL they need to give Bill his own movie
I can´t wait for his arrivel in the mcu
Do you think Christian Bale should play Beta-Ray-Bill in the MCU?
Oh hell yeah here comes a mighty Warrior thank you for the video
What do you think is the best thing about Beta-Ray-Bill in the comics apart from lifting Mjolnir and defeating Thor in hand to hand combat?
Great stuff thank you for the most amazing videos.
Namor
Wonder man
Ice man
Mister sinister
Alpha flight
With Mephisto rumored to be the big baddy in Wandavision and maybe even beyond, it'd be great if he were the next to receive the MerryMarvelite treatment!
This was Awesome! Thanks , I really enjoyed it! 😉
How many times did you have to cut you laughing when saying "Scuttlebutt"
Beta Ray Bill is my favourite defender and the most favourite one who wielded Mjolnir after Thor ......
I don't want to see him in MCU because I don't want to see him deteriorated......
Even hit the Tales of Asgard where they tried to take Storm breaker. Nice
*THUNDER BROS FOR LIFE.*
Bill is such an badass and underused character in modern Marvel. Not even the cartoons show him much. I'd love to see him in the MCU, but given the track record of the cinematic universe I think I'd rather not.
The Story.... A Ballad if you will
I see you've done the Scarlet Witch. Could you tell us about Master Pandemonium?
Can’t wait to see Beta Ray Bill in The MCU..They did show his face tho in one of The Thor Movie..So he is a thing in The MCU..But I hope to see him soon..
Biggz Was Here. Peace.
Is Avengers Earth's Mightiest heroes and Planet Hulk movie the only time we got to see Beta-Ray-Bill apart from the comics?
He appeared in the Super Hero Squad Show.
In Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1 you can unlock a alternate skin of beta ray bill. I think it’s just cosmetic though
Fantastic! ❤️
Very good video. Although no mention of his time in the annihilators. Maybe you could do a video on them? :)
Here hoping beta ray Bill is in Thor Love and Thunder!
Thanks!👍
Great Job. Thank you!
Beta Ray Bill is such a bad ass. Shame he wasn't in ragnarok, I got so excited when I saw his statue 😂 but they'd have struggled to fit his back story in. Fingers crossed he shows up in love and thunder. Even if it's quick. Maybe when thor leaves the guardian on his way back to earth 🤞
Awesome story!!!!
This was Awesome!!!!
Oh poor Ysgramor and Hircine. I am guessing that Beta Ray Bill is what Thor ends up becoming when he goes down and out? What the heck kind of animal is Beta Ray Bill... a Donkey?
Awesome story!🤘
I guess Bill is a pretty intergalactic name.🤔
If Disney had balls this would be the Thor that replaces Chris Hemsworth.
Great job.
Yo this one is a real gem
10:50 Why are Sif's hips so comically wide here?
Can you do history of the Squadron Supreme, the Thunderbolts and the Illuminati?
Soooooooo cool 😎👊😷 have a good quarantine!!!
Beta Ray Bushwick Bill!
To think, such an awesome character came from a "Norse sounds like horse" joke.
Will you be doing a video of the Chameleon?
They should make this into a movie
In Avengers Infinity War, What would have happened if Thor made himself Jarnbjorn to defeat Thanos so that Beta-Ray-Bill could have been the one to wield Storm breaker? Do you think Thor would pass the axe to Beta-Ray-Bill?
Sif was Hela THICC back in the 1980's
henry cavill as beta ray bill since dc booted him to do black superman
You should mention that Beta Ray Bill also join The Guardian of the Galaxy
Bill is awesome!!! Why did I hate him so much as a kid???
so canonically stormbreaker exists and thor currently has his own hammer so beta ray bill on his way?
So this is what schillinger does with computer access.
The Question. ..
I'd be cool to see him in the MCU. I think that ship has sailed but we can wait and see lol.
He is in there, watch Ragnarok again
@@ashr704 It's kind of a long movie lol. Also, I've seen it like 4 times.
@@alandgomez5905 Beta Ray Bill's head in statue form (one of the champions)
@@ashr704 Huh, I'm kind of curious if I noticed it, and then completely forgot about it lol. Thx though, I'll check it out again.
Best name eveeeeer
From everything I keep seeing in movies, cartoons and comic books. Galactus is not a bad entity no one writes him as an evil entity
Walt was the last in a generation of great Marvel creators.
Super skroll as a body of a 35 year old American Woman got to love politics
Beta Ray was clapping cheeks so much I'm surprised he could get so much done
Can you do please do the history of the alien known as Century since apart from the comics, he only appeared in the 1994 Iron Man series? It would be great if people knew more about him marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Century_(Alien)_(Earth-616)
16:59 alright, hear me out, it's a bit far fetched.
But what if it actually IS Jesus Christ?
Or an angel.
I thought it twas just Bill😂
Where is Beta Ray in the Marvel Movie Verse??? 🤔🤔🤔 Disney Needs to wake up!!!😎👍
Thunderstrike?
Dude they have GOT to do Bills Story. All Marvel wants to do lately is a bunch of Dumb Crap that nobody cares about.
legit
Bro they should make a movie about bill instead of ladie Thor
I KNOW RIGHT.
Bill should of just left his spieces
Damn, I thought all the Korbinites were horse face
I bet he talks to everyone like that 😅😅😅😅
Knowing the MCU, they're going to screw up his origins AND his awesome look; just like they did with everything else
One of those annoying nitpicky inconsistencies was how (depending on the writer/story) Mjolnir would sometimes change back into a cane after being separated from Thor and other times it wouldn't.
Mjolnir is like that sometimes
EAST COAST AVENGERS
A classic ‘80s character from a legendary run by Walt Simonson. Good to see him get some attention.
One of the smartest plot twists in Marvel history was having Odin gift the Don Blake enchantment to Bill. A stroke of wisdom worthy of Odin, which made perfect sense given Thor's history while opening the door to a relationship between Bill and Sif, who was going nowhere. In contrast, everything after Simonson in this video just sounds dumb.
Actually, the Beta Ray minis that he got were pretty good. I would recommend the Annihilators mini-series too.
A warrior so noble, he even brought out the good hidden inside Galactus himself! I'm feeling emotional over this, and tbe fact he finally found home....
Easily one of my favorite Marvel characters of all time. Still hoping he makes an appearance in the next Thor movie!
Thats if they have the rights to the character 🤷🏾♀️
I think in thor ragnirok they had a giant head of him as a cameo or something so yeah, he will show up.
@@allenfryre9670 that’s right. The Grandmasters tower has four giant heads. One of them is BRB.
@@allenfryre9670 The warriors that past Nebula and Gamora fought were actually Bill’s people
Christian Bale has been cast as Gore
When I first saw him, I thought, “pfft, who is this clown?”
Now I know better, this guy is righteous.
I was just watching he's first appearance on Avengers Earth's mightiest heroes. Great video
Me too!
I wish they bring that show back
This is not for you
@@georgefrieje6601 ?
Sorry was a mistake
"YOU HAVE A GOOD ANNOUNCERS VOICE!!!!!"
He _does_ have a wonderful voice!
Beta ray bill is one of my favourite characters thank you for making t this !!!!
Thank you for making a video on my boi😭😭 🙌🙌 Bill is an Underrated Legend that deserves more love and respect ❤🔥💪🏾💪🏾
Agreed. Beta Ray Legit AF
So true
I would like to see one about Blue Marvel.
Blue Marvel gets more love on youtube than he does at marvel. Marvel has him collecting dust, I mean he is literally at the back of the bus. Gatekeepers hard at work!
@@nevilleevergreens6522 The idea of a black man being portrayed with that much power and so little weaknesses seems to get many people uncomfortable.
@@gerardrbain1972 Portraying him the way Marvel has, is completely disrespectful. A man that powerful should NOT be acting like he is scared of his own shadow.
@@nevilleevergreens6522 I find it interesting that the character of Blue Marvel was from my father's generation. Black men from that time period seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time and energy going out of their way to seem as docile as possible.
@@gerardrbain1972 Because they're seen as a threat. Kevin Grevioux has written Blue Marvel well past that stage(Legend of Blue Marvel series). Other writers have him as the most powerful man in the room but is too scared to let him cut loose. Like in the Ultimates how Blue Marvel could have done more in the fight against Thanos but we all saw how it ended.
This channel is pure comic book lore gold! Your voice, presentation and knowledge is excellent and yeah, Simonson's run on Thor brought this most excellent character and that's why the 80s had so many memorable characters from Marvel. Keep up the good work...and cheers!
