Hey, heroes! I'm going to be streaming again on Twitch this weekend! On Saturday I'll be playing the PSP version of Final Fantasy III, and on Sunday it'll be more Yakuza Kiwami 2 for the PS4! www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite

i'd like to see squaresoft make a 24 bit version of final fantasy 7 and other final fantasy games in 24 bit. PSP had the best look for Final Fantasy games. I'd even say they should do the same for romancing saga

hope you do more of Annihilus, he's a very underrated FF villain

@trexadvent4726 3 ай бұрын

Can't imagine why he wasn't made into an Avengers villain like Kang the Conqueror and Thanos

@PauTheDeo 2 ай бұрын

@@trexadvent4726 I'm sort of thankful for that, I'd much rather they be saved for a future FF movie. After all, there's like 5 FF villains who have already been used in the MCU.

Love these silver era comic origins. It was a weird time where creators like Jack Kirby would add eclectic themes ranging from gnostic to hyborian to their work. That’s why G.O.D.S and Immortal Thor are my favourite series right now.

This was soooooo much more than just the history of Annihilus. The Negative Zone is such an interesting and important part of the Marvel Universe. My second favorite realm right behind the Savag Land. (Maybe a video on the Savage Land is on the horizon?) My suggestion for a future video is the Alpha Flight member SASQUATCH. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!!

How many of you remember seeing Annihilus in the Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Fantastic Four world's greatest heroes and Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H?

@kindlingking 3 ай бұрын

To me it's the best interpretation of the character. There are plenty of cosmic warlords with generic "conquer everything!" flavour, but EMH's Annihilus is more like a horror villain mixed with some cosmic horrors elements. But the best part of the episode was the atmosphere of isolation, which I think should be the defining traut of all stories with Negative Zone - you're not one convenient portal away from home, you're deep inside an alien hostile environment with it's apex predator eyeing you and your world as his next prey.

Note about the Microverse: If you shrink to get there, it’s smaller. What’s that, multiversal travel also led there? Cool, some multiversal travel must have size-altering properties.

He would be a great recurring MCU villain since he deals with many characters already in existence in the established MCU. Aside from Doom, Magneto, Apocalypse, and Galactus.

Just a thought and an idea for you . I've always wondered if " Deathlok : The Demolisher " ever met any other Marvel Heroes or Villians for that matter? And whether or not Deathlok's genesis is linked to perhaps the Vision or the original " Human Torch " [ The early Android version, not Johnny Storm ]? Could the Demolisher be related to Ultron ?

Did it feel messed up that Annihilus would use Franklin Richards to maintain his immortality when he awakened his unstable powers? Do you think Agatha Harkness would have easily stopped Annihilus with her magic? Can you do history of Franklin Richards and Valeria Richards?
