The thing is I bet the Thing was just happy to see his thing again, and the really great thing is that the Thing got to share share his thing with Alicia.
That's the thing about Johnny. He's a cocky, showboaty, honestly kind of jerky person. But even with that, you'd be harder pressed to find someone as true of a friend in Marvel as Johnny is to those around him.
@@BlindDragoon the best bros are like that. They will laugh at you being in the hospital for doing dumb shit while making sure you are as comfy as possible.
As much as a "Jerk" Johnny is towards Ben, deep down Ben knows he's a guy with golden heart. Even Ben himself got extremely depressed when Johnny was trapped in Negative Zone.
Just imagine that you have an ability to turn off your ability but the stress because of your ability is so strong that you are not able to turn off the ability that you are so stressed about
Fun fact: there was a study conducted once on a group of people who had insomnia. They were issued a strong drug that they were told would amp up their system and make it impossible to get to sleep. You heard what I said: the insomniac were given a drug to PREVENT sleep. It turned out that afterward, a lot of them dropped right off. What had been keeping them awake was anxiety about not being able to get to sleep, so once they knew sleep was impossible the anxiety went away and so did their problem.
@@Mereologist As someone who has crippling insomnia related to other co-morbid mental health issues, this is a whole load of bullshit. Nothing I can find on the internet supports this wacky ass misinformation. I can't speak for everyone, but my anxiety is a symptom and is treated as such by my therapist, and any other good mental healthcare practitioner. My insomnia (primary factors being intense repeated traumatic stress and persistant psychosis) and many people's insomnia, is not formed from anxiety, their relationships to each other are complex and very much case-by-case, as referenced: (Copied from a scientifically evidenced National Institue of Health Article) ''Are there studies on lack of sleep and anxiety? ''These findings were replicated for chronic insomnia in a recent study, which further showed that, insomnia appeared before the anxiety disorder in 18% of cases, anxiety and insomnia appeared about, in the same time in 38.6% of cases, and anxiety appeared before insomnia in 43.5% of cases.'' Just fuckin Google stuff.
Absolutely love how Hickman shows how truly Fantastic each member of the Four are. They absolutely deserve their status in the Marvel Universe as the golden family.
0:06 The way the Thing originally looked. One of my favourite comics as a child was Marvel Two-In-One #50 when the Thing went back in time and fought himself in 1961.
@@Mulletman_Comicsin the future I am potentially making a marvel Lego stop motton series and I don’t yet have any voice actors on standby I would need a thing and a Johnny va
The biggest take away from me is that in a way, we're all The Thing, needing our own human torch to help burn away our insecurities and help get us over ourselves.
Ben is one of my favorite characters too. I'll never get tired of your deep dives into his stories. I always found it interesting - Reed could cure him in a heartbeat, but the real problem was making it so Ben could transform just like everyone else on the team. He LIKED his powers, he wanted what Johnny had, for example.
I love that Alicia doesn't notice that Ben is normal again because she doesn't see The Thing as anything but regular Ben. And it isn't until Ben speaks up that she actually notices. She doesn't ask questions. She doesn't judge. She just embraces Ben like a normal person. That's real love.
Alicia in the current F4 run is so precious, in the blood hunt tie in with her and Reed is a highlight. It almost proves she’s an honorary member of the F4.
This is why You're one of my favorite youtubers because I don't get to read these comics so it's cool to go through them with you. Like if a friend told me about this issue
Thank you for sharing the Thing stories that you do man. The Thing has been my favorite hero since I was a little Tyke. And it's been amazing how he's been relevant to me at different times in my life for different reasons. He just has so much humanity to him and represents to me how powerful super hero stories can be. There are too many great Thing stories for me to count, especially if you read up some of his great Marvel Two in One shenanigans, but if I had to pick one, It would be FF40. If you've never read that one, look it up. It's not exactly Thing-Centric, but it's one of the most impactful moments of his.
Hey man, just wanted to let you know your voice acting is damn good. From the voices themselves, to how you deliver each character's lines, the dialogue between them, everything is just excellent.
i wonder if bens poker night would be all that different even as the thing since he is surrounded by super guys anyway, i feel thats something he can still enjoy as the thing
I get the feeling it still would have been the same either way. They’d all need a bit of a bigger table but you could totally see something like this in the MCU, after some long fought battle the guys just sitting down, playing some card games and having a few beers.
@@petconerd1984 Pretty sure thats because its tradition for Ben to host a poker game, with the winnings being donated to a charity of the winners choice
Ben’s the glue that holds the entire team together, but love it whenever Johnny gets to not be a hot-head for a bit, ‘cause he cares more than he ever lets on.
I forgot Alicia is blind and was like, imagine you date a big giant rock monster and your first thought is “hey something looks different, did you get a haircut oooorrr”
4:20 dude seriously u put this scene up and pair it with the music from Captain America and the end of Avengers Endgame you get the most powerful and beautiful scene ever that I think rivals that ending with Steve and Peggy i’d really love to see a scene like this in the Fantastic Four movies with Ben and Alicia
Awww, Ben Grimm/The Thing is my favorite superhero of All Time, but I've Never seen This story!😳😳😳 Big Big THX for Posting This, I cried at the end, it was soooo Beautiful!!!🥲🥲🥲❤❤❤😃😃😃🥰🥰🥰
I love the image of Ben with Cap and all the heroes. I love when heroes are just being friends doing normal shit and not fighting each other for some dumb reason.
What's Crazy About This Is When The Thing Took The Cure & Became Human Again, He Must've Thought This Was A Prank & Then He Started Yelling At The Human Torch, Who Started To Laugh.
I love all of your amazing videos and comic videos that you do PS I wanted to ask we need more Marvel Spider-Man comics and more about alternate universe of Spider-Man and parallel worlds about Spider-Man also please
I always get hung up on the Fantastic Four. On the one hand they seem really wholesome and inspirational, and on the other they let their youngest child have play dates with the worst mass murderer in human history. That is severely messed up.
The Thing has always been one of my most favorite characters. This was an excellent issue because in the classic FF stories, Ben and Johnny would sometimes hang out with each other but not often.
Johnny is the best wingman Ben may find him aggravating most of the time, but he still cares about him immensely and I’m so glad Ben was able to get his greatest week
There was a story where it came out that most of the pranks that the Yancy Street Gang pulled on Ben were actually perpetrated by Johnny. He accidentally left the receipt in the box with one of the exploding pies, and Ben was going to track down the store and make the owner tell him who bought the gag gift. Johnny went into full panic mode thinking Ben might kill the store owner, and might kill him when he found out it was Johnny. In the course of following Ben, he witnessed Ben stopping, and deciding to go back to the Baxter Building, because on a certain level it actually made him happy that the guys from his old neighborhood weren't scared to take the piss out of him and keep him humble. Which of course destroyed Johnny even more than Ben trying to punch him into next week would have. So, to this day, Johnny still occasionally sends Ben gag gifts under the guise of the Yancy Street Gang, because he doesn't want Ben to think his old neighborhood has forgotten him or stopped thinking of him as just one of the guys.
as a kid watching the F4 movies I thought the Thing was just this big ugly rock guy, but having grown up the stories of Ben wanting to be seen as a regular person and the emotional turmoil that creates really resonates with me and he’s quickly become one of my favourite marvel characters
That "Good for you, Ben" at the end was the most deserved thing ever
He was givin’ someone his thing, if you know what I mean.
It seemed genuine too, like he was really happy for ben.
The thing is I bet the Thing was just happy to see his thing again, and the really great thing is that the Thing got to share share his thing with Alicia.
The things the thing gets for waiting for the thing is so worth the wait
@@litiangparra6799for the thing right?
@@MaewCatt yes that thing
@@litiangparra6799 no the other thing
If the Thing doesn't have his thing then why he's wearing pants?
Johnny is such a bro. Definitely a bro Ben deserves. We need more bros like that
He also fucked Doom Bride before the wedding making Doom keep being a villain
Hes also a great bro for spidy
He's so full of snark; it's nice to see the caring that's actually underneath that.
That's the thing about Johnny. He's a cocky, showboaty, honestly kind of jerky person. But even with that, you'd be harder pressed to find someone as true of a friend in Marvel as Johnny is to those around him.
@@BlindDragoon the best bros are like that. They will laugh at you being in the hospital for doing dumb shit while making sure you are as comfy as possible.
Man Johnny's such a jerk. But when he tries, he can be the best guy imaginable.
He’s the best of both worlds
Johnny is definitely a wild card, but his heart is as bright as the sun. Man makes everyone shine.
As much as a "Jerk" Johnny is towards Ben, deep down Ben knows he's a guy with golden heart. Even Ben himself got extremely depressed when Johnny was trapped in Negative Zone.
Johnny is the kind of friend who would tease you relentlessly, but will jump at the opportunity to make you the happiest man alive.
I like that when Thing goes human he looks like a era appropriate 1960s version of what a guy in "shape" looked like.
Yeah me too
Hey.
That's a shape.
Not a bad shape either.
He's built like a wrestler or a heavy weight boxer.

Johnny is like a brother we should never take for granted
Or for granite 😂
I remember when he died, spidey and Franklin talked about how much they missed him. It was bittersweet.
I can only imagine how hard Ben went blowing out back, just being happy he’s himself again. Bravo bud, you earned it several times over.
AYO 💀

Lol. Honestly same I'm like go pipe your GF dude. Fantastic comic though, really sells Ben and Johnny's friendship.

At the end of the day, it's great to see that The Thing got his rocks off

Johnny is always such a bro, i wish we could see more of his day-to-day with spiderman and the things like a "boys are back in town" vibes

OK, so I'm NOT tripping balls here...got it.
Is that a real comic panel ?

Seeing winter soldier captain America’s having fun playing cards is such a weird sight to me idk why lol
Video just started and he shows a panel of the thing busting a load 💀

Damn, I didn't know how much of a real one Johnny is until this comic lol
W wingman Johnny
great story, thanks for the video!
bro can only lay pipe one week out of the year and still has Alicia on lock. Ben got game for sure
I cannot wait to see this Ben and Johnny dynamic in the MCU. One of the most underrated duo in comics.
