#Marvel #Comics #Galactus
When I see Jack Kirby's art presented digitally I get reminded of when I had good eyesight still. When I see his art I still get that same feeling of excitement, joy and anticipation that I did 50 years ago when I first discovered comics here in the UK. Jack Kirby is my all time favourite artist, whatever the medium but, that's probably just reflecting my age which coincided with the last few years of when he was drawing loads of comics at the same time for DC & Marvel, 'King' Kirby's iconic drawing of Captain America is always what I imagine when 'Cap's' name is brought up.
The king is dead long live the king. R.I.P.
Yep! LOL
This is like watching The Official Handbook Of The Marvel Universe!
Great!
'Nuff said !
That series was awesome! I read the whole run.
I am freakishly obsessed wish marvels cosmic stories in comics. I own most of the comics shown in this video and just wanted to say GREAT job man, great job. You covered it beautifully and it's 100% legit.
*Great to know!*
About to take a 50mg edible and watch this over a plate of Alfredo with a Shirley temple to drink
😁 Such an enjoyable comment. Thank you so much for brightening up the day 😁
❤❤❤
@@phillipwalters7702❤❤❤
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣
I have read almost all original and Canon non-Canon material on Galactus and I am still interested in watching this video.
Virgin
Rest in Peace, Comichistorian
Truly sad.
What ? Did the narrator die 😢??
@@Zakarman43 unfortunately yes.
@@BeerBreath702 damn smh
This isn't comnic historian though
I find it interesting that Is galactus actually considers reed richards His friend
And it's also interesting to know that franklin richards He is eventually going to go through the same process as When the current marvel universe no longer exists
The dynamics between Galactus and Silver Surfer are my fav thing in Marvel. Also my fav characters since ever.
The most Cosmic history of......... yet. I always loved that Kirby put that capital G in the center of his chest. Very Superman-like, yet completely absurd at the same time.
How about a video cataloging the position of "Herald of Galactus"? Just a quick run down of every herald in the order of when they served Galactus and how they left their position as herald.
As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!
I always tought that letter G was stand for God.
We were supposed to see Galactus in our own image so it makes sense
Ever since finding out his backstory I always assumed the G was for Galen.
Which incidentally means "insane" in Swedish.
I bought Galactus #1 for 35cents...I'm soooooo old
Wow you were there at Galactus's beginning???
That means you're at least 14 billion years old! 😋
I bought it for a dollar.
"I gave a promise once to an honorable man, that planet is not for such as we" -galactus
I've been a Silver Surfer fan since I was a child. But this is the best Galactus origins I have ever read or seen.
THIS CHANNEL IS 'EXCELSIOR' 👍 ..
you just have to love that classic Jack Kirby artwork!
"I am Galactus. The be all and end all of the universe."
In all of space I stand alone.
Perhaps Galactus ought to taken Ozempic to reduce his appetite.
I so enjoyed the art from this Era of Marvel Comics
Idea for marvel. Make a movie about galactus. Dont tell anybody its about galactus. Just a back story on the planet tah and galan. Then end the movie on galan loses his universe. Post credit scene is galan becoming galactus and connects to the MCU
Mind NOT blown.
That's literally the idea everyone's had for the past 20 years.
Bad idea.
They would make Galactus a black woman and change all the other entities into white men who are oppressing Galactus.
Galactus would still be a bad guy, killing entire planets and such but it would be ok because hes oppressed.
Wtf are you yappin about @@JobVanDam
@@JobVanDamsounds like someone's making this about race. Also sounds like someone's butthurt and needs therapy from the-rapist. See what I did there?
Hello there Merry Marvelite. I just wanted to say thank you so much for this great video dealing with Galactus. I really found the information to be amazing and absolutely marvelous. Can't wait for the next exciting installment of the History of the Marvel Universe. Until then I hope that you and everyone else in this community have a fantastic day. Peace Out & Excelsior to All
Marvel's cosmic crazy boogaloo was one of the best aspects of his universe.
29 ft tall? Did you mean 290 ft tall? The big guy with a ship the size of a solar system could easily just offer asylum to sentient life
Marvelite, I love your origin stories because you go deeper indebt and tell us unknown facts about these characters than their original origin stories, so keep up the good work.
no one is or looks as cool as galactus, noone!
Wow. The last time I saw these pages the comic was on the sales rack. Great traveling back with this review!
Thanks for the amazing video ❤️
I opened up YT and this is the first video I saw.
Here's an interesting question.What's the Best comic book story you've read and saddest thing you've read in a comic book
One of the saddest ones i've read Is a marvel what if story We're susan's storm dies giving birth to franklin Honestly pretty good Story but honestly very said but Namor Actually surprise me In that story Because for his love for susan She would honor her member By help reed Raise franklin
Never knew about the Galactus' origin story, I thoroughly enjoyed how you narrated this. Thank you! Just subscribed.
This is my new favorite channel. Thank you!
This truly made me change my views on Galactus. I often would be like "Galactus aint evil, he's just a force of nature, etc" but now that I know about him twisting his moral compass so he could eat populated planets... well now that explains why he IS a villain
2:54 …due to the Dweller in Darkness.
appreciate these videos a lot, my good sir!!
In a volume of What If?, the villain Korvac caused a resurrected Captain America to destroy Galactus with the Ultimate Nullifier; and later, used the same weapon to destroy Eternity and the universe he dwelt in, as well as himself.
I like galactus spot onslaught and villains to hope we see him marvel mcu
Thanks for the video I really enjoyed it lots of info I always wondered about because I never was blessed to have comics as a kid
WOW that was fantastic I’ve waiting for you to get around to him , it was worth the wait
I really like the Galactus battle in the Avengers Lego video game. Even in a Lego game, he's terrifying. Yes, I know he does the num num num thing, but still.
Very nice! Thanks
I had the comic that explained Galactus' origins when I was a kid (and that was either late 70s or early 80s; don't recall exactly when). :)
EXCELSIOR!!!!
Stan lee, jack kirby, Roy Thomas, John and sal buscema, Jim steranko, Steve ditko, herb trimpe, gentleman gene colan, jazzy John romita sr. All hail to you who created marvel’s golden age and overtook DC in 1972. Who else remember- Two More triumphs for marvel
Love your videos. Thank you for making this.
your videos are amazing and straight to the point man - love it
Could you videos about the History of Captain America's 2 main love interest, Peggy Carter and Sharon Carter?
Man, seeing Galactus get turned into a giant subservient gun in the Annihilation series was satisfying.
His subsequent rage and escape was pretty awesome too.
Very enjoyable. Thank you!
And then he tries to consume the Zero Point.
I mean, that was canon right?
I just found your series and I'm obsessed.
I hope you do a video on the StarJammers Like you did for the Shi'ar Imperial guard!
Please make a video on when Galactus going to Mephistos realm and then feeding on that demon's realm.
Can you do history of the characters mentioned in this video?
Are you going to do history of Shalla-Bal Silver Surfer and the other Heralds of Galactus like Firelord and Terrax?
I love how the main Marvel timeline ends on Franklin Richards becoming the next Galactus for the 8th incarnation of the cosmos.
Wait 8? What happened to 7? Galan of taa flew into the implosion of the 5th firmament and became Galactus in the 6th. Which is what we are in now. Franklin is from the 6th one. So what happened to the 7th?
Can you do history of the Living_Brain, the Elementals, Cyclone, Hydro Man, Molten Man, Puck, Ahab, Rom_the_Spaceknight, Stingray, Noh-Varr Marvel_Boy, Starbrand, Nightmask, Ava Ayala the White Tiger, Crossfire, Living Laser, Century, Lore and Technovore?
Thanks for the video
I'm guessing surely Galactus does not like the Sun any other sun large or small it has high property of nuclear power I'm guessing he's allergic.
I figured as Gallen became Galactus, his companions would have become the Eternals or Elementals or something, but I guess not.
I heard some of this also that was shown on the old fantastic four show I always did wonder how he came to be you make it easy to understand unlike most
Okay… so are you erroneously saying “multiverse” or was something retconned? Or when you say multiverse do you mean the negative zone, dark dimension, realms such as Asgard, Midgard, hel, etc, micro verse, and so on as a multiverse. Like how universe 616 has multiple planes of existence within it?
To my knowledge the multiverse has reset a few times. And by multiverse I mean the one that has universe 616 (not 616 as a multiverse)… but Galactus, as far as I know was in the previous universe (I would assume 615) and was the last surviving being from that universe. But other universes in the multiverse have a different, but similar, being in them. Like Gah Lak Tus (or however it’s spelled) from 1610 (ultimate universe).
Are the number designations just different timelines? How does that work?
He may have said it wrong but lemme explain.
1 universe includes all the realms of existence, normal earth called midgard, asgard niflheim etc. Dark dimension heaven hell negative zone all of it. 1 universe.
Many such universes make up a multiverse.
Many multiverses exist. They all together are called para or omniverse, barely referenced. This also includes beyond verses.
Everything above is a part of the 6th firmament. We are in the 6th firmament. Regardless of universe number, marvel 615 is still in the 6th firmament.
There was no multiverse but a single plane of existence during the previous 5th firmament. As that "universe" ie the entire 5th firmament was imploding, galan of planet taa drove his spaceship into the singularity.
He was accepted by the life energy of existence itself and made part of itself. To be born into the next firmament.
And thus a version of Galactus is born with each universe (with rare exceptions) and regardless of universe number, everything is still in the current 6th firmament still.
Unless this has been further changed or retconned recently.
Amazing video, well done!
The way Marvel fused science with myths, stories, religions (notably the Abrahamic ones), heroes, villains and gods from our past and then fused them together (ignoring any contradiction) with the science facts, theories and even crackpot ideas of our own times to create an ever evolving creation myth for the Marvel universe was genius, and an important reason why DC trailed behind in 2nd place for so long, because DC seemed to treat their characters and earth versions in a general sort of isolation, of course they had team up's, the Brave and the Bold , JLA, JSA etc. but there didn't seem to be any universal structure that held DC lore together.
Yo yo yo. Thank you. Your content is awesome. I watch all the time. I'll try to get all my likes in.
Can you do history of the Elementals(Hellfire, Magnum, Hydron and Zephyr), Bastion, Master Mold, Nimrod, Inferno, Zora_Vukovic Victorious, Night Nurse, Lilandra, Death bird, Lady-Lotus, Sundragon and Phyla_Vell along with the Supreme Intelligence, Puppet_Master, Diablo, Mole_Man and Angel Salvador/Tempest along with Exodus and Ex-Nhilo?
Good stuff!
I JUST LEARNED A NEW WORD TADAY!!! INTREPIDACIOUSLY!!!! Now to look up the etymological definiction of such a word!
Great episode, but I wish you had covered the John Byrne stuff. Galactus Part 2, perhaps?
I feel so dumb but is that why there are six infinity stones, represent the previous 6 infinities or w/e
Galactus was the inspiration for Unicron
In the original Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Origin of Galactus, Thor had succumbed to "Warrior Madness". For penance, Odin sent him out into the Universe to discover the Origin of Galactus. Which was: Galactus and a bunch of his people were on a spaceship that was pulled into an "exotic" sun. The radiation killed all but Galactus...who lived and was transformed into the energy seeking world-destroyer we all know and love. (The Mighty Thor #168, et als).
In an issue of the Fantastic Four, Galactus was placed on trial. Before that, Dr. Strange caused Galactus to collapse by raising up the ghosts of all the beings Galactus had ever killed, which shut down his mind.
Loved this
Looking at the list before watching I'm wondering if you bring up "The Last Galactus Story".
This got pretty deep.
Galactus the original Beerus lol
Beerus but actually interesting and not a shitty joke like half of super.
What was up with the Black Winter and what was up with the Sentience of the Sixth Cosmos that turned Galan into Galactus after his universe was no more? How would the heroes deal with this cosmic entity without the Ultimate Nullifier?
I guess I've been out of the game too long. In my Thor comics (in his nomadic penalty phase to atone for Thor succumbing to "Warrior Madness"), they reveal that Galactus was aboard a ship that crashed into a sun, where all on the ship were killed except Galactus. He was "changed" and from then on, sought the energy of planets to survive. So, what changed?? or when??
When I was a kid i wanted to be like Galactus without the hunger to eat planets. To give certain people a portion of the power cosmic.
This was sweet.
Are we going to see Galactus with the Power Cosmic in the MCU? Is the Ultimate Nullifier going to be the replacement for the Infinity Gauntlet?
Nice!
Hello everyone. The Tinkerbell deal is that it was that a few times. I've seen a bunch of different ones but I bet if we watch the older vhs we can find it.
I would love to see a video on either The X-Man Nate Grey or Ben Reilly The Scarlet Spider, Both 90's made and both totally trashed by Marvel in the end

Hey quick question 🙋♀️ are the black winter and the void the same thing? 🤔
You should get a galactus action figure it has a huge extremely and umcomfortably bright pink helment
Sick
Speaking of the Silver Surfer, Since you did the history of Norin-Radd Silver Surfer, Are you going to do history of Shalla-Bal Silver Surfer?
What do you think is the best thing about Galactus in the comics compared to Kang the Conqueror, Thanos, Annihilus and Tryco Slatterus the Champion of the Universe? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?
Less carnival barker and more Sir Richard Attenborough.
Wonder if Disney's version will have the big "G" in the middle of his chest as in the comic...classic.
How many of you remember Franklin Richards making Galactus his Herald? Can you do history of Franklin Richards?
I hate the black winter it was an unneeded addition to Galactus' backstory.
So, do the infinity stones represent the prior six infinities? Each one a remnant? And has there ever been a story where the comrades of Galan (Galactus) were ressurected somehow?
Hey look, Marvel’s Best Villain! Or Anti-Villain, I guess would be more accurate!
A timely marvel..
a shout out to Ben
Finally
Is Galactus similar to Pac-Man since he's called the great Devourer and has an endless hunger?
At 16:13 you say that Galactus is not considered an abstract entity, but I thought that he was the embodiment of Necessity itself? I could totally be wrong but I thought that that was his title because what he was doing was a necessary. And if he didn't do it the universe would over populate? And he was necessary and if he didn't do his job then Abraxes would appear and just destroy everything! But I'm probably totally wrong though lol.
So when are you going to do history of Zora_Vukovic Victorious since you did the history of Dr_Doom?
Seems legit lol
Remember the story of the silver surfer
