My only regret is that no one will understand of our orange horse boy once he makes his MCU debut. He’ll be the fifth person to lift Mjolnir and the second wielded of Stormbreaker. In the comics, dude was the first in comic history to lift the hammer besides Thor. He was designed to look like a monster because Simonson didn’t want it to be a typical pretty looking good guy who picked up the hammer. He reached into molten metal to make the Stormbreaker specifically his.

Love Beta Ray Bill and always preferred him to Thor. I like MCU Stormbreaker, but I always hated the fact they made it just an upgrade for Thor instead of bringing in BRB. Then the comics had to make it worse and have Thor destroy Bill's version... Then have Sif curve Bill... What did Bill do to deserve all that lol.

Bill's debut still holds up to this day as just a great comic along with the rest of Simonson's run. But Godhunter might be in my top 5 and is woefully under appreciated. I had forgotten how impactful it was that Bill looked like a monster and was the first besides Thor to lift Mjolnir. I keep holding hope for him to debut in the MCU and it feels more and more possible as Thor becomes more cosmic, but I have no idea how he'd debut and be appropriately integrated with the current canon.

The last I read with him in the main Thor comics, I was heartbroken seeing Sif do him dirty by denying him that Asgardian Ass for not being able to transform back to his Korbin form due to the destruction of Stormbreaker. 😞 Bad writing on that part. Sif wouldn't give a jot about the looks compared to a Man's fighting spirit and honor. 😤

seeing that cover with "nothing can stop the juggernaut in a video about the first person to also be able to pick up mjölnir i got the stupidest idea. what happens when you lay mjölnir in juggernauts way. he isn't worthy so he can't move it but his entire identity is that you can't stop him moving so will he trip over the hammer and then just fly forward without losing speed as he can't be stopped by running into the hammer but he also can't move it away or break through it.

It’s a question that has been asked before and has been ongoing for a few years. The answer is it depends, are we talking old school Thor and Juggernaut or are we talking Eight day or Trion Juggernaut and the current mjolnir origin? These things would effect which would win let alone the question does Juggernaut have enough time to move out of the way

As a new-ish fan of comics in of in themselves, Beta Ray Bill is that Thor character that avid fans really, _really_ like. From what I've heard fans talk of the guy he seems like the ultimate Bro to Thor, being the kind of guy who's always there for him and is always straight and to the point. Basically a cool horse headed guy.

@nicktuck5855 Жыл бұрын

Great video. Beta ray should have been more than a vet statue in ragnarok by now. I hope marvel gets on the ball. Since phase 4 they may be going full steam ahead as far as shows on the D+ channel but the movies have become 2-2.5 hour long intro stories with some exposition of what’s going to happen by time I hit 56. Currently 33. I don’t know if they’ve realized that their actors aren’t going to be young enough to play the same roles by time house of M or secret wars completes.
