This is so much better than my attempt. The creative decision to use a tv filter combined with data pages is masterful.
Well done
"Dawn of X manages to feel both astonishingly varied, yet uncannily consistent." I see what you did there.
"We...we lose?"
"No, it's much worse than that. *We always lose.* "
That dialogue is so impactful that its one of the few dialogues in this long storyline that I never forgot about.
Hickman’s refresh of the X-men came at crucial time and made me fall in love with the mutants all over again. It’s sooooooo good even if I don’t always understand all of it or agree with every moment. Claremont / Morrison / Hickman. So good.
You nailed it
The problem is that Hickman turn them into Inhumans jerks.
@@mayotango1317 it's just unfortunate we didn't get to see how Hickman would've actually ended his story
Same. They needed it bad. Seemed like stories in between were mid-to-bad. Especially after taking a back seat to inhumans for a second there. This was what I wanted to see from this group. Them coming together like this was the most badass and inspiring thing at times.
what? good? its a pile of rot with the stench of ultraprogressivist transhumanist politics all over it. i have never read a story more offensive. freshness isn't good, in this case, it is dogshit.
And then he LEFT US! For money on SubStack! It's like DC Rebirth all over again! I get invested in where the story is going, and then the end gets undone by some behind-the-scenes stuff!
I blame editorial for this too. Once the line became revitalized they didn't want to trust the process and let Hickman do his thing.
The Editorial fucked Spider-Man too😊
For me, i blame all the Writers he brought along... They seem to do whatever they wanted letting the quality slip and doing stuff that wasnt planned or would tie in.
@@Subject_Keter Hickman wanted the other writers to be empowered. His original vision for his adjectiveless X-Men series was to be a travelogue that just set up prompts that other writers could run with
@@TheKaijudistI’d say that there’s some really good writers in the office. Victor Lavelle’s Sabretooth trilogy is looking good and made me like the character.
Hellions was wild.
Immortal has been pretty great along with Legion of X.
Heck, even X corp was good
THE definitive exploration on the Hickman era. Love having it all together in one place. Wonderful work my friend!
To raise black children away from the hate of the world. For the dream of Krakoa I would pay any price. Wonderful series of essays! Loved Hickman's era and was really sad about his leaving. I jumped off of all X-Men titles after Inferno (I lost all confidence once the writers turned Moira into a robot. Destroying a character that was incredibly and beautifully reimagined) but thank you so much for reminding me of what a great ride those initial 2 and some change years were. You've made me realize that I shouldn't be sad that Hickman's vision spiraled into garbage under the hands of lesser creatives but to be thankful really that House and Powers of X even happened at all. That, for a moment, Hickman allowed us to see beyond the tired status quo of Mutant in-fighting in the face of global hate towards a world of new exciting united possibilities. Even as a motley crew. Even knowing conflict amongst such a wildly diverse, and often adversarial, group of mutants with drastically different views of what mutant sovereignty should/could be was inevitable. He gave me hope. He gave me Magneto, Xavier, and Apocalypse at a United Nations meeting being straight bosses. He gave me the Summers family as a beautiful slightly broken but ultimately loving family (INCLUDING Wolverine!). I never thought I'd ever see that. He gave me Emma as the hardcore badass mover and shaker that I've loved her as...but on the world stage. He gave me hard sci-fi universe building with the Phalanx. The mother effing Phalanx! It was the most exciting X-Men has been in a long long time. I can't see myself coming back to X-Men now that the quality is wildly inconsistent and the cohesion of overall story is in shambles. The greed of the X office to mine this resurgence as hard and as fast as humanly possible, flooding the market with mediocre X-titles that readers really couldn't keep up with or afford, at the expense of the universe is really what destroyed this era. With that being said, what an exhilarating read that initial reboot was. Excellent content.
They turned Moira into a robot?!
@@esjuan2112 Yep, it's absolutely terrible.
The visuals and editing in this are so good, you matched the aesthetic of the books spot on. You have some AMAZING editing, seriously!!!!!!
Thanks so much!
"Thank You" for giving the {Mutants} the best point of view of fighting for their "Future". I truly appreciate the work that you're doing?! 🙏🏽 KRAKOA-FOREVER!...⚔️
I wished Hickman stayed longer with the X-Men just like Claremont.
I was wayyyy too short. I’m almost scared we’ll go back to where we were.
It's a shame once Hickman left that the incumbent writers couldn't really nail the quality in the same way this video does! What a recap! Excellent.
It's an interesting phenomenon, I don't think it's a lack of quality as much as a lack of a big-picture vision linking it all together.
I've kept up with a lot of the ongoing series and I like what each one is doing, but without the bigger story carrying everything it feels like the line is a bit stagnant. I'm hoping Sins of Sinister is the first step towards them bouncing back from that.
@@ForEveryKindofGeek Now with Sins of Sinister out, I’m glad we are heading towards the endgame Nimrod saga. I can’t wait for it all to build up to Nimrod event. I think they’ll title it Age of Nimrod or something like that.
Maybe this is a stretch but I feel like there are historical parallels between Krakoa and the real world Communist experiments namely USSR and Mao’s China. Nations established with good intentions and for justifiable reasons, but due to external attacks and infiltrations, internal conflicts of interest, and stacking ethical errors, eventually crumbled or morphed into a twisted behemoth of their original founding ideals. In the end, we all know the status quo will be re-established for the X-Books. My only hope is that it ends in a manner that doesn’t discredit the importance of oppressed people’s right to self-determinism and the struggle for autonomy.
This is the Comic Book run that truly showed me just how Terrible the Fox Adaptions of the Xmen really are.
The amount of Characters that not only have interesting Powers/costumes but interesting storylines and specifically how different the mutants are compared to the other Superheros
I wouldn’t say one is better than the other, more link different flavors of a great concept. I really like how grounded some of the fox movies feel, but at the same time I love it when someone like Hickman or Morrison takes a concept and spins it in a whole other direction. Just goes to show you how much range these ideas have!
I feel they started out alright, but then the studio pushed star power over story and essentially began repeating the same story themes with haphazard continuity. The world of mutants is much bigger than just Xavier, Magneto, Mystique, and Wolverine. Also, after 2 disastrous attempts at the Dark Phoenix Saga, which I adore the source, I'm not sure it should be attempted again.
I'm curious to see if the Feige will start with or lead to the concepts of Hickman's Krakoa era. Regardless, plenty of stories to pull from or reinvent within the state of the MCU.
@@JonGarcia honestly,I just want ti see a Comic Book Accurate Depiction of Cyclops. This dude is maybe the Mutant equivalent of Capain America and what Fox Studios has done with the character Is shameful.
I'm agreeing absolutely with @@dominiqueodom3099 on this. On both of Odom's comments. You rock though, F.E.K.O.G. (just not here).
@@dominiqueodom3099meh he’s not exactly a Boy Scout like Cap is through anymore
Hickman got me back into marvel comics
This production value is top tier. Thank you for your time!
Can't believe they didn't follow Hickman's plan after he made X-men popular again.
His plan was to basically end the era, probably going back to the status quo since he had finished telling the story he wanted to. He wasn't going to keep telling stories.
Im glad Krakoa is still going.
@@justingoers I come from the future...
@@Melkac yeah, that's the baffling thing; this is all so dynamic to just end it where Hickman wanted to, especially for a company trying to make money, I'm glad they kept it going too. Why take down everything and establish a new order to just end it so quickly?
Well it's over now and what's next doesn't look promising
An absolutely remarkable deep dive. Awesome stuff.
Thanks so much!
Really great to have such a solid update / recap. I really appreciate this!!😅
This video just popped up on my feed. and I could not be happier. This was an excellent overview of Hickmans X-men and really cleared it up and made it easy to follow. It was this run that literally got me back in Marvel and X-men books overall. I love the direction and now I am getting ready to read the whole A.X.E. storyline. And I can not wait to see the outcome and its effect on the future of mutants. Lastly I have now subscribed to your channel to what else ya got and my suscribing is soley based on this video alone. Thanks for an excellent video.
Thank you for taking the time to make this comprehensive review! Really helpful.
11:21 “giving his most inspiring moments a … ~SINISTER~ new energy” YOUR MIND A YEAR AGO TO NOW
Total coincidence is my mutant gift.
this editing is amazing. Not even in 50 years do I see myself coming close to this.
This was a masterclass of a youtube retrospective. The editing and script were beautifully handled. Looking forward to this channels growth.
The production value on display is wild friend. Well done 💪🏾
I just came across your channel 2 days ago,glad that I did.Your retrospective review is-EXCELLENT !!! Gonna watch this again. LOL.I know this is a 4 month old review,but had to say something:KEEP up the-GREAT work.
I keep binge watching this. I feel calmed and relaxed listening to this fun video 🏆
I find it's a slightly hypnotic view to try and take in and digest Hickman's ideas . Thanks
I love this video. It's a wonderful breakdown of all the modern X-Men titles that can be confusing and overwhelming for people new to following the comics, especially the way Hickman tells the story. 😆 Great editing and lovely voice acting talent really made this video stand out!
Ive been reading X-men since i was 8 (1975). This is my favorite run since Claremonts earliest days. Possibly the best run ever. And absolutely the most unique run.
You think the Krakoan era is the best era ever? Wow, I rarely seen that being said, it’s overwhelmingly said to be the worst era in X-Men history, that’s why the sales are so bad.
I’d expect someone born in the ‘00’s to say that, but not someone born in ‘75, wow.
I watched this video months ago and was amazed by the quality. Currently reading through Dawn of X and wanted to revisit this- cannot believe it doesnt have the millions of views it deserves. Great stuff.
This video is criminally underrated, This is High Quality Content, Analysis, and Fucking sweet editing!.
Hickman is THE visionary writer of his generation ..his work is just awe inspiring
It's just nuts to see how much of an impact his stuff has left on comics as a whole. I've been fascinated watching his style develop over time.
you’re an amazing editor!
Thanks for this, is in an Amazing video with all the covering of all the X line of Hickman. There are some ideas there that i was desperate to somebody talk about it in Xmen on how its being a weird time since Morrison tok it before. Again Amazing video.
This was very extensive. You know what you’re talking about. Hickman’s run has made me love the X-Men again. Consider me subscribed.
Could you possibly cover all the Arakkis? To me they are the most fascinating thing to come out of this current run. You rocked this
This video was amazingly well done
Great video - def one of the greatest X-Men stories ever. Brilliant stuff.
This is a beautifully made video essay. Great work!
Thanks so much!
This was really great, I hope you continue with the X-men and would also love to see u tackle Hickman's Avengers
It feels like ever since Hickman was kicked out of the X-Office, the entire X-Men line has been directionless.
Each threat from Dawn of X was a sign of a future threat taking shape or a new experimental way to "Solve for X" and take them out for good.
Nowadays it just like a big slapfightm
I agree. I hope he comes back.
amazingly well done
Great video, House of X/Powers of X and Kingdom Come are my two favorite comics. Love the 80's sci fi themed music used in the video also
This video is simply incredible.
I was so glad when Hickman left X-men, because I thought, "great! Now, we can get back to writing a super hero comic, instead of a damn Frank Herbert novel!"
Then, I read what they started doing after he left, and to my horror, it was much, much worse
Hope they go back to writing the X-Men as a super hero comic
This video is very well made and researched!
My only small gripe is the unnecessary/excessive sound effects. Got annoying after a while, but other than that it's an awesome video of my favorite X-Men era!
Never comment on anything, but this is great. One video subscribe here. I enjoyed the art choices and information as well as the cuts and edits. Only constructive criticism would be the audio cues on the panel pop-ins (sounds like a little bit of feedback or static) was a bit distracting on my admittedly poor audio set-up in current form, but a cool idea that fits the theming.
As long as this video is I'd watch it all over again at some point down the line as a super cut with even more examination and detail, perhaps about some of the historical X-Men connections Hickman was riffing on at key parts.
Fantastic work!
Yep the crackle sound effects used in transitions became way too frequent and distracting. It’s like Lucas with his wipe cuts.
I haven’t even finished yet, and I’m in awe of this work so far. Amazing job!!!!!
Great vid, truly deserves more views!
Thanks! This one has a really strong start so I’m hoping it’ll keep bringing in more people over time.
High quality stuff man like it by much.
I’ve been waiting for a video like this 🎉🎉🎉
Glad to hear it! Hope I did it all justice
Great compilation. I would do a vídeo for destiny of x until judgment day, then other until the end of Sims of Sinister
I love the deep dive, but have to say, as a rapidly middle aging X-Men fan both comics and other media, I've not been a fan of the Pod People Non X-Men.
That's valid
One issue i got never got was people complaining that Xmen had a safety net to stop their deaths, So many other ways to win yet people only focus on one thing? Kinda patheic imo.
@@Subject_Keter It does cut down on the tension when you know you can die and then just come back. Though to my mind its not even "Them" that comes back but a copy. Like Palpatine comes back as a clone.
Really cool video!!! They flowed surprisingly well together too
Wow, fantastic video!
My favourite run!
Great video and editing. I will say though as some constructive criticism, that the constant background music (perhaps a tad too loud) and crackle effects when panels phase in and out gets a bit much after a while. It’s ok to keep things a bit more subdued and let your narration do the heavy lifting.
I've already watched the individual videos, but leaving a comment for the algorithm because these are excellent! ^_^
Always appreciated. Thanks!
Hi, every one, great effort for the channel maker by producting this documentary. I posses in my comic collection this Hickman´s miniseries. Is there any upcoming writings of Hickman on Marvel or DC?
really good but I think the segment """see what we can build" (min 48 to 52) probably should've been cut and pasted somewhere earlier (probably after minute 7)
Apologies to my newest patrons The Comics Cave and Zachary Parkerson for the out-of-date patrons card. This video was edited and banked a while ago, but your names will be listed on December's video and everything after!
awesome video!!
I was a huge X-Men fan when I was a kid. I started reading X-Men in 1991 and stopped a little after Onslaught. I would stop and check in on the mutants every now and then but it wasn't until Hickman that I got back to reading X-Men on a weekly basis. I was a little late to the party and read House of X Powers of X in late 2020. I've been hooked since. A little over a 20 year gap since going to a comic shop on a weekly basis.
Great video, but the static noise whenever an image comes up gets really distracting after a while.
This was a fantastic breakdown/analysis of the best X-Men comics since Claremont's run. Can't wait to see the next one!
Chris Claremonts innovation, characterisation, twists & superb X-Men remains unmatched although I enjoyed the Ball issues, especially the Hellions issue
Excellent deep dive possibly your Best x video yet
Glad to hear it! With Destiny of X and everything coming up, I wanted to start building these into bigger, all-encompassing videos so I don't end up having a playlist of 30 videos.
I'm still going to be releasing my regular-sized videos but I'll definitely try putting out longer-form comps like this whenever I reach the end of a series
Pure Bliss!!🎉
Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan...this is AWESOME.
Keep up the great work.
Lavender Jack...Swooping On Down.
Thanks so much!
@@ForEveryKindofGeek, you are quite welcome.
Your videos really are a breath of fresh air.
I could (and have, on occasion) watch for hours.
Lavender Jack...Swooping On Down.
So Beautiful. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh... I didn't expect a compilation. With your usual output I was hoping for an original video.
Definitely still working on DoX, but between work and life stuff I didn’t really have time in the schedule for a full video in November. Already working on December’s, though!
great video
Fantastic man. U r brilliant. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
After being away from the X-Men since 2009, I started reading Jerry Duggan's X-Men book in 2021. I must say, it's quite good!
Lore of X-MEN under Jonathan Hickman | The Rise Of The Krakoan Empire momentum 100
Whoever did the Xavier voice did a very groovy job.
That'd be Aeric from the Geeksplained Podcast! He's got a fantastic voice.
Wow, impressive work!
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it!
To be honest I haven’t watch this video yet and for now have only skimmed because the beginning edit caught my attention. This editing is so cool and I subscribed because I know I’ll want to see more of it. You don’t get this much production in comic videos except for maybe Variant comics so this is a breathe of fresh air. Can’t wait to watch and see more content.
Surprised you only have 4K subs.
Thanks so much! I’m actually not quite to 4K yet but I’d love to grow, and I don’t see myself stopping on these videos any time soon.
@@ForEveryKindofGeek please don’t! I hope to become a huge fan
Gonna start this deep dive video but one thing that ticks me is that marvel made too many titles that all tried to connect and it hurt hickman. I preferred hickman with his avengers runs where it was all very self contained and in the end he did Secret Wars but then again non avengers titles weren't being demanded to connect to the avengers run
Good premises, the reason he left is unknown to me. I feel like apocalypse was missing from axe
Still waiting for the amazing stuff. So far all they seem to be doing is tearing everything down that was built.
I can see you have other videos on the various parts of the hickman era. Are those necessaty to watch this?
Not necessarily, this is a compilation of all my previous videos on Hickman’s X-Men so far
Dude. The glitch sound effects are brutal while using my car’s audio. Can’t do it. I wanted to watch this, but I’m out
Why are you watching a RUclips video in your car
I'm three minutes in, and the production quality is insanely good. I know this story pretty well, but I'm happy to take this ride.
The analysis is amazing, too! A great job by the writer(s?), narrator, editor, and VO actors. If I could offer a very minor note, the transition page flip sound could be a tiny bit quieter.
This was amazing I really love the X-Men they are the best superhero team in comics
This video is great.
By chance are u on Spotify?
This was absolutely amazing !!!!
Thanks so much, glad you liked it!
Hickman's run made me really want to collect the xmen, so for me, collecting his run is my giant size xmen1
Best comic line in the last decade easily. .
That's pushing it, considering Hickmans Avengers' run occured during this last decade
I agree. While his run with Avengers was great, his run with the X-Men was even better.
Tbh this was a amazing way to reboot the entire series it’s time that the strongest species on earth stop being victims and be what they really are powerful strong but also now that they are their own country they have to follow rules other countries have or risk going to war with the world
Will you ever cover the magneto run by cullen bunn?
I might, I’ve liked that and Greg Pak’s mini for the longest time
Can't wait to listen to the video while doing some homework
Thanks!
I made some Krakoa portals 1:12 scale KRAKOA IS FOR ALL MUTANTS
over an hour?? We are EATING
BON X-PETIT
I miss Hickman on x-men because he did a excellent job with the X-men and I it’s him gone nothing in the x-men is making any sense anymore.
Where can I find the comic dubs shown in the video?
There aren't any, I have friends do readings of certain scenes but that's it.
I really dislike the multiple titles approach. Becomes both expensive to follow and convoluted
It can be expensive on the whole but I wouldn’t say it locks you into that approach either. My first time around I only bought a few titles and those did a great job of setting up the broader points.
That said a lot of the earlier ETA’s being collected in compendiums which are way cheaper than buying every individual trade. They’re also more curated in those, too
Real talk, Destiny derailed the whole story and she couldnt even "predict" the future ... so she is not only worst then Moira but organized it so she would destory Krokoa if she didnt get her way? Low blow, Low blow.
Also Judgement Day was kinda stinky.
What I'm confused about is if this is a new universe or not. Moira talks to Xavier before he forms the x-men. So what is confusing me is if the past events actually happened or does Moira just remember it happening and no one else does?
It’s all the same series of events. Imagine Days of future past in looping form, with Moira as the main character instead of Kitty.
@@ForEveryKindofGeek thank you. Although it's not clear to me in days of future past either. It's just confusing that Moriarty told Xavier all of it before he formed the x-men so wouldn't they not do everything they did? I get what your saying because I know that jean is the tie displaced jean from all new x-men. But it's just confusing to me. My mind tells me that it's a different universe. Again if I was told everything going I'm going to do won't work I wouldn't go that route.
Moira* not Moriarty
I think they probably decided that this reality was the best option up until a point, as long as they set up the Krakoa innovations behind the scenes.
1:01:39
THE THEME!!!! Aww, they're playing the fuckin' theme!!!!
Best X-Men run bar none. I'm scared that it won't last, but while it does, it's amazing.
Sorry, did you forget Chris Claremont exits?
@@chriscueva1866 I did not forget. Claremont is great, but he's not my favorite (or second favorite) X-run.
Hopefully he left a map and the actually follow after fall of x. After all this growth I hope it doesnt end with a more style reset that would be tragic.
