Thanks for doing a remaster of the X-Men. Even after 25 years of reading comics, they're still my favorite comic book team of all time.

Rob, I have my own production company and I have done many documentary style productions, and I like to say I appreciate the professionalism and the seriousness in which you take your audience. Your channel is growing because you take pride in what you do and your "very consistent" with content. If you continue to do what your doing with same care and dedication you have always done. I see you as a stand out "You Tuber" at some point and you become the model in which others follow in putting out You Tube content of this nature. Always know your strengths don't try and do too many things, stay a specialist, and before you know it you will become an authority. I believe you are building something very special here, I hope you know that as well. Thanks

X-Men are better than the avengers

I considered myself to be well-versed in comics, especially x-men comics, but Rob I must thank you. You have enlighten me to the status of mutants. The reason they are feared so much is because mutant powers can range from something as simple as flying to something as devastating as forced spontaneous combustion of a living being(just a thought). They aren't limited to the circumstances that gave them their powers at all

you should do a video about the "God loves, man kill" storyline

You left out one thing that most people don't know about the X-Men franchise. The X-Men was intended to relate to the Civil Rights Movement making each of the major characters resembling some of the most inspirational and influential people in the Civil Rights Movement.

Great explaination of the Xmen's history. Claremont is writing the treatment for the Gambit movie, yet, his attempts to get back into writing them again are so watered down & lackluster compared to what he used to write at the height of his tenure writing the X-men.

Man, this old theme and intro is so nostalgic now, I love it.

Can you do a video on storm? She's like the best x men member and one of the most iconic.

I love how professor X takes Storm away from providing life-giving water to her people. Lol. What a jerk.

That was a great start to the video with that song man

Dark Phoenix Saga, God Loves Man Kills, Mutant Massacre, Extinction Agenda, Age of Apocalypse, House of M, Messiah Complex, Messiah War and Decimation are some of the pinnacles of comic book story telling ever including Marvel and DC

Hi Rob, great video. I noticed an inaccuracy though: In the Giant-Size X-Men Second Genesis story, the original X-Men had not yet formed X-Factor. The new team are recruited by Xavier to rescue the original team from the living island Krakoa (this is actually Xavier's second attempt to create a new team, as shown later in Deadly Genesis). It wasn't until the real Jean Grey had returned, after the Dark Phoenix Saga, that the original X-men decided to regroup and create X-Factor.

Great recap. :) The X-men are my favorite heroes in all comics. They have such an interesting evolution and the current Uncanny X-men comics are among the best in ongoing series imo, albeit a little slow.

No mention of Grant Morrisson's run? I thought you were ramping up to it. Marvel draft's one of DC's best writers to helm one of the most character driven runs. Morrisson explored deeply into the character's of Cyclops, Wolverine, Beast,Jean, Xavier, and he introduced some of the more colorful new students you still see today the Stepford Cuckoos, No-Girl, Ernst, Glob, Angel Salvatore (made it into First Class movie), and Quentin Quire who was played a pivotal role in the Schism event

Apocalypse and Mr Sinister are two of my favorite characters in all of comics and media in general

6 ads in a 20 min vid. This is getting rediculous.

4:35 enter comrade Claremont 9:03 we switch to my favorite and thank you comrade rob

Stan Lee and Jack Kirby were geniuses !!!!

Your videos are just _Insane_ in their quality man. I mean, dear lord, from the quality of your voice and script, to your quality sources, to your ability to synthesize so much information in such a quality, informative way. Just fantastic, thank you for this!

Is it just me or does Cyclops have so many alternate universe kids that he doesn't know what to do with.

Cyclops wasn't a member of X-Factor at that time, X-Factor wasn't created then. The Original X-Men team had been captured by the living island and Xavier assembled a new team to go out and save them, that was the reason for the new team from within the X-Men comic book.

Hi Rob. Congratulations, great vídeo. Keep it up. You're seen in Portugal!

This was extremely helpful for someone that decided to pick up x-men comics only in 2015 after having watched the films. So much content I had no idea where or why I should even begin at what. Now I do though, thank you.

Love this remastered series your doing! It makes me feel so good about the channel knowing that your willing to update ur content when it needs it or the quality is lacking! Man you the best rob!

Thanks for making this video. I was collecting xmen comics up until Age of Apocalypse storyline. So, been wanting to get back into their story.

I miss the old videos man that music ... them screen transitions glad to see you improve on every side but I miss this every now and then rob . Also I noticed you say SO. in the beginning of every video I love it.

What's the song playing in the opening? Great vids btw

Thanks for the recap. I’ve read these stories but I love to jump into videos like these to kill some time during breaks at work

Omg Rob from 9 years ago sounds so soft spoken. Its wild

I love the Marvel Universe all together, especially the X-Men. I didn't follow the comics religiously and tuned into the 90's tv cartoon adaptation. This video makes me want to tap the comic book part of it. Especially with the "House of M" explanation and creative character depth.

Magneto had his own comic years back from what I understand and few others as well.

Just want to say, the dedication shown to these videos is commendation worthy.. I've always wanted a history of Marvel comics and on this I finally have it and the fact you're improving the old videos is incredible, I'm so impressed by this channel... Good luck in the future pal, keep up the awesome work!

Still rewatching this in 2024 😊

0:00 A legend was born

Hey Rob, recently been trying to catch up with the X-Men and thought I'd mention that I really like the intro song in this video. Consider bringing it back 🤙🏽

Rob this is the calmest I have ever heard you lol love the video

Have you done a video specifically for Rogue?

Liked it before I even watched it lol

This was awesome!

Has anyone else seen the Amazon Prime original "Chris Claremont X-Men"? I'm here from that even though I've been watching Rob's videos for years

I'm sorry for being dumb, but what is the reading order? I have googled it but couldn't find a define answer. Would really like to get involved in the x-men universe.

☼ that intro is unsurpassed. idk why you didnt make it permanent.

Rob thank you! Your videos are almost as good as reading the comics Can't wait to see all the remastered content.

Thanks for x-plaining it for us

Seeing your channel grow is just awesome. :)

Your videos are great. I don't have to read all the huge articles on marvel database or wikipedia where I get distracted by characters and events I didn't know yet. And the intro is dope.

this video was great. saved me a lot of time. Also you have a very easy to listen to voice.

ROB!!! Bring the old intro back plzzzzzz

storm was so hot

love that Rob gets muddled over X Factor. such a cute mistake x

Hey Rob, love all of your content please don’t stop. Was just wondering if you had a video of the entire fatal attractions story or maybe you knew where I could read it online. Thanks hope you continue the great videos!!!

I loved watching this and hearing the last bit with hox and pox being a thing today. I love the X-men, thank you Hickman for your brain!

What a coincidence another KZfaq Chanel uploaded a {Xmen themed} video Today also.

Who/what is that music at the beginning of this video? I need to know I love it!

Hey Rob, what editing software do you use?

you forgot to mention Marc Silvestri, the best X-Men artist

I don’t like the long intro but I still hit like because it’s still a great video

Please do a video on Cyclops if you can; that would be really interesting.

great video,so much context.

Great Job. very thorough

Why this nigga so professional with this?? Keep it up I like dat best on KZfaq hands down

Sick intro my man

Wating for the day Rob does one on Fatal Attractions arc....would be amazing.

It took the first X-Men movie for me to get into the comics. Once I did, they became one of my favorite Marvel superteams.

Hi rob loved the vid ! Never knew there were sooo many mutants !! Keep up the great work btw can u do a video on the black panther and his origins? Thanks Mr . Fifa

From now on you shall be known as Professor Jefferson, thanks this was amazing!

Great video keep up the good work

The intro to this was dope

This is awesome!

Magick and Nightcrawler should become heralds of Apocalypse ;-)

awesome... and what's with the deadpool in the end..? lol...

Much appreciated information, never heard of the Stryker graphic novel. Looking forward to the read.

Can you please tell me the song name to use in the opening and i love your all videos

Character-driven stories will always be more interesting to a large readership than story-driven characters.

My favourite Marvel comics team EVER!

Rob, at 19:45 you mentioned that after the Messiah War we got "The Twelve Lights" but wasn't the series before Generation X called the "Five lights"? Seems like a mistake, unless you know something I don't. Good work with the whole video though.

Awesome job!!! Love to see you do Age of Apocalypse!!!

Very cool rob thanks for researching everything story time rules

I love this old introduction

i miss these videos so much

I started marvel with the xmen, with cyclops more precisely. I will always be a xman fanboy because of nostalgia

5:03 - lol BATMAN

Hey Rob! Could you explain the siege perilous and its relationship with the X-Men?

Hey hoping you're still taking suggestions for lead-up videos! It'd be awesome if could do James Madrox and the formation of the Madri! :)

You should seriously create a DCXplained man, for sure. Do you only like Marvel, and is DC just not your cup of tea? You are among my top 3 comic youtubers [along with variant, and comicstorian], and I would love your in-depth guides/explanations, and opinions on DC as well as Marvel It would be seriously amazing. Is it just a matter of not having enough time to simultaneously run a DC-Xplained concurrently with this channel without degrading the content? P.S could you give me a couple youtube channel recommendations, on various topics, from comics to w/e you think is extremely interesting? Something tells me you must have some sweet channels you like, which I have yet to experience!

Rob. You are the best there is at what you do, and what you do is very nice. Indeed

Love these

The music (at the end), where does one find it?

What's the name of that's song in the beginning and then the one at the end?

MarvelExplained Cyclops didn't return to the X-Men from X-Factor. The original team (Cyclops, Havok, Beast, Iceman, Angel, Marvel Girl and Polaris) detected a mutant via Cerebro and went to the island of Krakoa to meet this new mutant and all but Cyclops were captured by the living island. The new team was the second attempt at rescuing the remaining captured X-Men. X-Factor came after the combined teams defeated Krakoa.

Just wondering if you will do a character focus on X-23.

Love you Rob!!

Damn! Whats that song at the beginning?

Havent heard this video but I am excited... thanx ahead..

Great video

Hey Rob, how bout revitalizing this 💪🏾

I would like to know how Wolverine regained his adamantium after Fatal Attraction please. Thanks for the videos by the way much obliged.

There were other events that killed off mutant characters in the X-Men saga, one being notable was the aftermath of the Legacy virus. I remember when Pyro died from it in an issue of X-Force iirc. Many notable characters were killed by the virus (or created by the strain that mutated non-mutants and gave them powers). This was one of Marvel's beginning attempts to thin out the character population. Another well-known character that died as a result of Legacy was Kwannon, who had her body switched w/ Psylocke by Spiral in Mojo's Body Shoppe. Kwannon became Revanche, and had Matsuo Tanaka kill her when she discovered that she had the Legacy virus. Of course Legacy was a result of the X-cutioner's Song storyline, which was mentioned in the video, but I think that Legacy should have been talked about a bit.

great job
