actual history starts at 3:50

Just makes me respect thanos even more..using the reality gem to trick magus thinking he has the real gem lol.. brilliant!!

I like these videos. I think artifacts with a large backstory like the Infinity Gems make videos like this great. They have a long history & have touched a lot of characters.

You've gotta to leave the song names in the description, man. Your taste is so *GOOD.*

I could listen to you read the ingredients of a snickers bar.

Such a good video. Love the style. Taking the item in question out of the context of any one story and giving a complete overview of the items history. You rock Rob.

I'm absolutely hooked on these videos... kinda new to the whole comic realm so I wouldn't even know where to begin.. awesome content thanks dude!

I really enjoy these history videos,keep them coming Rob! Awesome work as always!

Premiere Pro apparently didn't do some of the animations I told it to. Not sure why. Bear with it if you can.

I find that videos like these are both useful and enjoyable to someone who only has a basic knowledge of certain areas. So thanks for there Rob and please do more like this!

Great video Rob! Thanks for making this as the infinity gauntlet has always been so full of mystery to me. I have seen your other videos but its nice to tie it all together like this. Also that song your playing is a great song! Still listen to that off the samurai champloo sound track.

I am loving your videos. I know nothing about comic books, but am feeling less lost with your videos. Thank you.

I like the videos where you run through the chronology of something such as an artifact or item. It's nice because many of these stories are so spread out over a span of years so the video complies it all into one place.

Loving these vids man. Keep 'em comin'. 😊

1:18 telling us about Romance releases will increase our knowledge of the Infinity Gems

Another fantastic video that must have taken a good while from script to finish. Makes me nostalgic and want to pull out my old archives. I'd love to see more artifact videos, Rob. I don't know how much information you find on the Cosmic Control Rod, but I'd love to see a video on that and/or the Ultimate Nullifier. I was thinking maybe a series of videos about fictional places with the Marvel universe, like videos about Genosha and Latveria. Thanks again for this video first, though.

That was a low energy "Peace" at the end bro! xD Messing with ya, love your stuff as always.

That was awesome synopsis of the Infinity Gems, throughout Marvel history. Only one correction that I can see. When Adam Warlock had the gauntlet after the Infinity Gauntlet event, he did not split himself into two beings, but three. He actually cast good & evil from his "soul", and became a being of logic. Evil became the " new" Magus, who tried to gain the gaunlet (Infinity War). And "good" became the Goddess, who attempted to bring about universal suicide (Infinity Crusade).

I greatly appreciate these kind of videos. They help add a lot of context to the stories.

Read The Thanos Quest. It's one of the best solo stories I've ever read.

Great video, I would love more of these. I'm personally a fan of the longer videos anyway.

Man!!! I really loved this video!!! The history of the gems it's absolutely fascinating. I also didn't realize it was so expensive across the marvel universe. It's also cool it was used as a plot device so many times.

loved this vid great work Rob

Dude, you're great at this. Keep'em coming.

One of your best videos yet

Very informative video! I would really appreciate it if you made more, thanks Rob.

So. Damn. Complicated. Thanks for putting in the work to make these videos.

I love it, its great! Also, your longer videos have always been my favorite

we are the infinity gems, we'll always save day, and if you think we can't, we'll always find a way.

Excellent video, keep doing this kind of videos

I like these videos because it gives you a foundation and the "after-story". I have a better understanding now. Thank you as always.

You are always so good at informing the reader and breaking it down. keep it up!

Your videos make me want to stay up all night reading Comic books.

I like these kinds of videos Rob

This format is great, Rob. I'd like to see one for the Ultimate Nullifier.

Although I am tired of hearing about gems I would like history videos on other marvel artifacts.

+ComicsExplained : Great informative video.. adds depth to the MCU films, even though theyre a different context they can be applied still...

I can't even imagine what Rob's vollection looks like or how much money he has spent. It must be staggering. Great job again. Just love these videos.

I enjoy your videos. keep them coming.

Why does this explanation jump back and forth in time so much??

I love these kinds of videos.

new subscriber here, love the videos and very informational on the comics I haven't read yet! :)

I like these videos. I think you do a great job of explaining things.

Thanks Rob! Awesome vid.

Haven't watched the vid yet, but I already gave a thumbs up cuz I know it's going to be awesome.

I love these vids. Infact I like what you do

this video couldn't have come at a better time! At my comic book club I'm doing a run down of the infinity gems and this will be a great video to show

Love these vids!

love the presentations from the explains to comic and pop culture goodies and sweet sound track /song selection also *inserts fist punch*

Back in the 90's I felt like I was the only true collecter. I wasnt doing it for resale, I just loved the stories and art.

I think these videos are awesome. They help new comic fans know a little more about what may happen in the movies an they give old farts like me a well made an thought out refresher course.

1-Warlock wasn't comatose after Infinity War. The -Warlock and The Infinity Watch ran a long time afterwards and didn't end until after Infinity Crusade. 2-Warlock's evil became Magus and his good became Goddess, Warlock was neutral and devoid of both good and evil. 3. Thanos wasn't revealed as keeper of the Reality Gem until after Infinity War and merely mocked Magus for not realizing he never had control of Reality. 4- Thanos realized, by research with the Infinity Well, that the Infinity Gems wereu being used incorrectly (by everyone) and with that knowledge, set out to reacquire them. 5. Magus was a ghost inside Soul Gem because he was only the evil portion of Warlock's soul.

I really enjoyed the "history of" breakdown like this and would love to see more!

Rob! Next to your character videos, these are the best. Keep the item based reviews coming!... after your hiatus, of course.

You used Fat Jon music in the background. I think I love you.

I can dig it thanks for the info bro I really in enjoy these videos

Awesome dude ... Great video

I hope Nemesis appears in the movies. I imagine her having an echoy voice.

Loved this Did you explain the cosmic cube already

Awesome video! You should do the same for other artifacts such as the Cosmic Cube or DC's Warlogog, really interesting man :)

I love the MCU so all this background is really useful to me so thank you for all your hard work in putting theses videos together. So please keep it up.

By destroying a soul gem you're sacrificing a unknown amount of innocent lives, I just witnessed Captain America killing more lives than Carnage or the Joker dream about.....

Loved it. More please

SAMURAI CHAMPLOOOO! Nice music choices sir!

Loved this video

Listening to this channel makes me feel like I'm taking a college course and I should pull out some paper to take notes

Please continue collecting these stories of artifacts

Awesome video, can you do a quick video of the Heart shaped Herb?

i love this discussion on items, being a tech geek this really satisfies me

Thanks a lot Rob. I've been trying to get into Marvel more but it's just..a lot. I've found a thread on reddit that gave me everything for the current Secret Wars reading order, but I feel like I am missing so much from not knowing the original backstories from all the smaller characters. Any tips for where to get started on that?

I enjoy these they give great background knowledge.

Thanks for fully explaining this!

I really like the video. could you complete the remaining video on the infinity war with the magnus?

Diggin your tunes man, and thanks for the explanation

Loved the vid and if I processed everything correctly only 1 comic was left out that I consider essential to this and it's marvel team up #55 which leads into warlock #15 and then marvel death watch issue of avengers annual #7. You can say it's a prelude lol. In this issue 3 of the gems appear and are used which are The Stranger, The Gardener, and Warlock. At the end The stranger walks away with his gem, warlock goes on with his, and the gardener just throws in on the ground of the moon and walks away. But hey I could be wrong but hope this helps adding a essential issue in the future :)

these "artifact videos" as you put it seem to be really cool considering how many crazy things there are. Do a video on heart of the universe or ultimate nullifier next

You should do more of these, such as one about the Ultimate Nullifier.

I like this video. And I miss videos that lasts longer than 10 mins because I find these videos much more informative.

Late at night I have to turn off my sub woofer so Rob's bass doesn't get me evicted LOL

you should do more of these artifact videos. I would like to request for a Cosmic Cube video.

Jesus Christ Marie! They're Minerals!

yes, artifact videos - this was great!

I'd love to hear you do an episode all about "Dog Welder", even if just for fun.

I really like these types of videos that focus on the celestial side of marvel. can we please have more looking at gods in the universe? maybe the place that gods such as odon play compared with the higher ones e.g. living tribunal

Did you overlook the Avengers story arc where The Hood was hunting down the infinity gems? It's how Captain America ends up with a gem during Hickman's run

Thanks man, this is my favorite history class.

I need to find those songs you posted in this video. +ComicsExplained

Great video

I like the details you give from the connected comic book stories and the extensive history of the gems/stones and gauntlet. Would you make a video explaining which gem/stone is the most powerful. I'd like to hear your commentary on that point. I've got my top three gems/stones as TIME, MIND and SOUL, however I've heard many points made that the MIND might be more powerful than the SOUL. Your thoughts?

She Hulk did get the power stone during her solo series. If you can get a copy of the collected edition it has the story where she got it. I had that book a few years ago but recently lost my entire comic collection so I don't have it on hand to give you more details at this time.

I'm just now seeing this. I loved it.

Great vid

I enjoy these artifact vids. Feel free to keep em coming if you want.

Loved it, please this video felt like your old stuff and the way you formatted the old content is cream to me. Not to say that the new stuff isn't good, it is, just like the old stuff better

The gem on the moon had belonged to the Gardener, one of the Elders of the Universe. He discarded it on the Blue Area of the moon after a fight between him, Warlock and Spiderman against the Stranger.

😁great video rob I really know a lot about the gems now😎😎

Hey Robb, new fan here, I found your channel via ComicPop and have watched you on Elseworlds Exchange a bunch. Could I make a request? This video is awesome, and your Death of Thanos (Annihilation) video is kick-ass, do you think you'll be doing more Cosmic stories from the DnA era?

I love the artifact videos. If you could do them until the end of linear time, that would be appreciated.

That was awesome thank you

I believe in you, and everything you do for us, love your work.
