In this video I talk about the most powerful character who's fascinated me ever since the dawn of time. He's not the real god though, that guy's directing Doctor Strange 2.

What’s cool is that DC’s own version of the One Above All (either the Presence/Writer) is actually referred to as “The One Above All” in a few issues of the Spectre comics, implying that it’s all the same character even across two different companies.

ostrander (anything post ostrander that features corrigan is non canon because uhhhhh videogames) didn’t really use god that much.

I like the idea that TOAA looks different to different people. It takes the form of what the character wants it to look like in order to not break their minds. It also gives a look into the characters' psyche, as you literally get a physical manifestation of what they think a perfect, all-powerful being should look like.

I haven’t completely read the Immortal Hulk comics, but seeing TOAA’s line at 6:29 is really intriguing as a Christian. That’s because it mirrors the book of Job near its end, where God answers to Job’s question of “why?” by asking him that same question of “Where were you when I laid these foundations?” The way I see it, God creates good situations and permits bad ones, and they all have a purpose in our lives, even if we never understand said purpose. Even if you’re not a believer in any way, I think reading a synopsis of Job will make you appreciate the story of Immortal Hulk and its portrayal of TOAA just a little bit more.

the biggest problem with creating a god character is you that you take the idea that should never be capable of understanding and give it form, it requires you to set some sort of limit for the power, even if it is a limit not visually shown(the imagination of the creator of said character) the higher the limit or the more they break the mold the better they are because they are slightly closer to what a god could be compared to the all knowing but benevolent personality most god characters have

I've always enjoyed the concept of an in-universe author-god. That is, characters being able to speak with their creator without breaking the fourth wall. I enjoy the idea because what they'd quickly realize is that their god's decisions aren't fuelled by morality, but by a desire to craft a compelling narrative. In a comic by Neil Gaiman, Reed Richards realizes this. When the Thing asks if figuring this out will help him turn Ben back into a man, Reed says that it's absolutely within their power to do so, but that no solution can ever be permanent. This is because Ben will always be more compelling as a monster then he is as a man.

I interpret the TOAA as a representation of the writers and artists at marvel like Stan lee and jack Kirby. I think the one above all is really cool bc he usually makes other people do stuff or fix their own mistakes like that one time where thanos absorbed him and took his powers (yes this did happen tho I’m not sure if it’s cannon anymore) and fucked up the multiverse (or something along those lines my memory is ass) and it makes him a lot more interesting instead of if he himself just intervened at least to me it makes him more of this laid back kinda god who wants people to discover their mistakes or give them some advice but don’t directly give them the answer to everything Like when he talked to Peter. So for these reasons I find the one above all to be a really interesting character IMO.

Great work as always, man. I'd never read that Fantastic Story, but it sounds like a pretty damn good read. Also, i remember reading "The Book Of Peter" story during the Back In Black-era of Spider-Man; and finding it sadly heartwarming. That scene where he shows Peter all the people he's saved on the beach was pretty emotional for me. Maybe it was the painted-looking art style, or the text epilogue that (Unfourtanetly) gives a false prediction of Peter and MJs future together. I'm an orphan myself, and am agnostic, but the idea of afterlife being a picturesque beach is a really nice thought.

The problem with having an 'all-powerful god' character in stories is they must be purely neutral observers of the universe because any value system they hold would necessarily be immediately enacted upon reality. In simpler terms, a 'good' or 'evil' deity wouldn't allow for good stories since suffering/joy would not be allowed to exist. Other more complex value systems are possible but if you allow these systems to be explained in-universe you must forever make sure every story you write must fit with such a system and that is limiting to good stories. Thus, the only way such a deity character could work that I can think of would be for it to be unexplained for the most part and an impartial observer in most, if not all, situations.

@shawnboahene5231
@shawnboahene5231 2 жыл бұрын
But there is an all powerful God who is all good and allows for suffering already. It’s the real God, the God of the Bible. We suffer because we chose to when we decided to be be our own gods instead of following Him. God is love and in order to love you must be free to love. That is why God does not force you to love Him but wants to convince you to and do it out of your free will. Also why do you think that a good God would not allow suffering? In this fallen state of ours suffering now a guaranteed feature of life. Christ who is God Himself came here to suffer and die as it was foretold in the book of Isiah and played out in the New Testament. No secular person I knew would ever call Jesus bad or evil, in fact they all agreed that Christ is good and blameless. So if God while in human form had to undergo suffering why do we think we shouldn’t? I say this, because it seems to me you believe suffering is greatest evil, but suffering is not automatically evil or at least the greatest evil. In fact, it is quite often used for good. Exercise is suffering, discipline is suffering, and in fact the very heroes shown in Marvel and DC are so impactful not just because of their virtues but the suffering they undertake to stand in those virtues. I doubt they would be as well liked as they are if they did not have trails and tribulations to overcome as virtues would not mean much without the Will to suffer for them. Next you make the assumption that this deity must be impartial for it to work (deism). There’s a problem I have with that, if that deity cannot or does not love or is good, why would they create? This all powerful deity who is completely self sufficient (I assume) why would they create anything that could potentially muck about and even destroy the universe the deity creates. Why run the risk of creating anything at all? I never heard an artist or engineer who was impartial to their work or created dispassionately.

Glad to see my man's still rocking it with his vids. I like the switch up of talking about a personified theme in the comics rather than a series or character as it brings more depth (Not saying your videos are bad, they are far from it, just nice to have something unique and different to other comic channels). And don't think I don't recognize the big brain move of having a sick track at the end to get people to watch all the way through :D

I’ve never read a single marvel comic book but I’ve always imagined that it would be cool if the creators of the comic books were part of the universe as a sort of unreachable god entity that decides how the stories go, so cool so see that the exact kind of thing has already been made.

I firmly believe the Jack Kirby depiction is literal, The One Above All is just the writers and artists who make the stories. Because of course the writers need to write bad things, there's an excellent quote I cannot remember the origin of, but it was something like "If everyone's happy, then there's no more story". So the creators make good forces, and evil forces, and push them together. To tell stories. Which should also leave The One Above All to only ever appear when they've truly written themselves into a corner, have no other ideas, no other options, nothing that'll meet the deadline, other than a literal self-insert to fix it, like Jack Kirby (honouring him, really Mark Waid for that specific issue) bringing The Thing back to life, not through a crazy plot or interesting magic or science or adventure, but through literally drawing him back into the story. Same with boosting Peter Parkers spirits, what on earth could cheer him up when Aunt May is possibly about to die, it's too much for just an MJ chat or some plot driven revelation, so the writer themself drops in to perk him up, but doesn't even answer the question, leaves too early. The One Above All would be great, if they just leave it at that level
