I love the dissection of this character. 16 minutes about 1 (one) (a single) character that definitely stays on track all the time is exactly what I wanted out of a video :D it's great
Great video, and only one recommendation; the record scratch sound is quite jarring and I would recommend finding a quieter version. Other than that, great vid 👍
Reading the second genesis X-men books for the first time, the Eric the Red stuff bothered the heck out of me. There was CLEARLY an idea there originally: Scott SPECIFICALLY calls out on meeting Erik that "*I* was Eric the Red", plus the fact that the first thing the mother trucker did was kidnap Polaris (who was so involved in the first Eric the Red shenanigans). The completely dropped plot would make sense if it was a Hobgoblin situation, but like... Chris was the writer on the X-books by then, and Chris was notorious for doing whatever the heck he wanted (the whole Firelord thing brought up was Chris thumbing his nose at then Marvel head Jim Shooter, because he wouldn't let Phoenix beat Thor or Silver Surfer because she had ladybits.) He just set up this reveal and then later just... forgot, I guess.
Damn. I'm so mad that I'm here for episode 1 and not discovering this at episode 50+. I'm casually into marvel or comics in general at best, and completely clueless at worst. But damnit if this isn't THE PERFECT hyperfixation fodder. I'd EASILY binge 50 eps of this. About so many characters. In a row.
I am learning things about the X-Men I will try desperately to forget with the aid of denial. I will fail miserably. Why must ye be cursed with such knowledge?
Hell yeah! I won’t stoop to getting tiktok myself (good god my brain is already massively adhd I don’t need any more rewiring) but I pester my sister to send me your videos cause I think your hilarious. So glad you have a channel now, instant sub
I love how everyone always brushes over the whole "Cyclops' dad is a space pirate" thing
We've all just come to accept it at this point.
I had somehow completely memory-holed adam x and combined him with vulcan. That whole area is wild

I was reading marauders and I saw Erik and was like "Nikhil is defiantly gonna mention this some day"
There is no hetero explanation for the choice of which words were bolded in that misty knight panel
The set up for this video is so cool! Nikhil talk show.
Can't wait to see more episodes :D
I only knew about the Great Shame era of red do to my Krakoan read through, but I heard tales of the many Eriks
As someone who only knows the basics of X-Men this video was easy to follow and entertaining. Good job can't wait for more!
"The Shi'ar are known for their anti-baby guns." I mean from a certain point of view all guns are anti-baby guns
Know what could be funny? If one of the blue mutants becomes Erik the red next
I SUPPORT THIS SERIES
Ah yes the absolute madness of the soap opera that is the xmen comics
Great video, and only one recommendation; the record scratch sound is quite jarring and I would recommend finding a quieter version. Other than that, great vid 👍
Will do!
Your delivery continues to be amazingly hilarious. Love the way you explain things.
Looking forward to more of these!

I spent like a minute reading the title as "Regi X" and felt the need to share.
Needs to be more known and loved

I wanted this to go on for two more hours 😂
Very Excited!!!

Amazing, I need more of this series

Erik red was in the animated series (shi'ar version) so we know him. Also: COMICS
I Just ran here from insta❤️
"Not Wanda"🤣
I never had the time to get into Marvel comics, along the X-men, and honestly your content seems like something that would solve it! :]
Yo. Bane here. Probably. Just got here from your tiktok. Love this and Erik the Red
i need more of this!!!! (with better audio, perhaps. a cheap boya lav will make sound a ton better)
Awesome video, love your tiktok content, hope you do more "longer form" content like this
Sup bro aint seen you since highschool

Why don't you like the Trial of Gambit? Not chastising, genuinely curious cause that's one of my favorite X-Men stories.
I was View 666. Neat.
