Hey, heroes! Thanks for watching another video! As always, let me remind folks that if you'd like to support the show directly, you can do so by going to Patreon.com/MerryMarvelite ans signing up. As little as a dollar a month will get you the role of Mighty Avenger on the Discord server and put your name in the special thanks at the end of the video. I'll also be streaming on Twitch this weekend. On Saturday, we'll be playing Night Trap. Sunday will be our monthly Demos & Discounts stream in which I play a variety of random games and demos on Nintendo Switch. Streams start at 2:30 and go for 3-4 hours. Hope to see you guys there! Excelsior!

Damn, Uatu just can't catch a break. Hopefully he'll have better luck in the MCU. As for future suggestions: 1. Uatu's nephew Aron 2. Squirrel Girl 3. Arnim Zola 4. Voyager (Va Nee Gast/Valerie Vector) 5. Grandmaster and/or Collector 6. Michael Korvac 7. Morgan Le Fay 8. Chthon 9. Psycho Man 10. Crystal

Honestly Uatu is one of my favorite characters in Marvel because of his interference. He sees everything. Every sin, every crime, every pain and yet he still choses to interfere to help us out. Not the Kree, not the Skrull, not the Shi'ar, we are the ones he cares for so much.

There's a wonderful few panels during the Onslaught saga where Apocalypse emerges from his tomb to see the coming battle play out only to find the Watcher already at the entrance of the tomb surveying the would be battle ground of New York across the water. Apocalypse wasn't sure Onslaught was a big player in his coming age but seeing Uatu standing in his silent vigil tells him all he needs to know. It still gives me shivers thinking about it 25 years later

Cool! All I had known about the Watcher, prior to this video, was that he watches and records events from throughout the multiverse and that he had been recent killed by Nick Fury, who then took his place. I had no idea that his presence and powers where so significant in the Marvel Comics Universe! So thanks.

I'm slowly making my way through your videos, and I appreciate your exhaustive research, tight scripts, and engaging narration. But this comment is mainly to praise the beautifully reproduced comic art, and the way you juxtapose frames from different artists, in different books, sometimes separated by decades, often out of chronological order in terms of publication, but presented in a new context. Amazing work. As far as a few random suggestions, I'll say Jack of Hearts, the Micronauts, Machine Man, Captain Universe, Moondragon.

However, I took a great oath of noninterference, so I must refrain from liking and sharing. Regardless, I have decided to make myself known to you by leaving this comment, and I have indeed subscribed for maximum watching efficiency. Please accept my kind regards as you continue your journey. I will continue to quietly watch from a distance.

So, after 2000 is when Marvel decided that the Watcher was "Multi-versal". What If comics were always just teh Watcher using his cosmic powers to show us what might happen and to be happy with the way things were because they could be much worse. Everything happens for a reason. If the MCU had kept that, the the crappy What If series could never happen.
