Been trying to make a video on the Silver Surfer forever, it's exciting to finally get this out there, hope you guys dig the vid :D
Thanks @SuperFrame for this video, there are not many recent or older videos out there based, on the ethereal, astonishing Silver Surfer
You did great, man.
I think Kendrick Sampson should play silver surffer he's shown as one of the meta humans the thinker possesses on the flash that he can play a character and make that character feel intelligent and lonely and most of all alien
That blood panel might get you demonitized.
@@Multi1 it’s in fair use, because it’s used for critical and analytical purposes
If Marvel ever makes a film or miniseries about Stan Lee’s life, as they probably will, then I think his fallouts with Jack Kirby and other creative partners like Steve Ditko provide a lot of dramatic potential similar to The Social Network. Pay tribute to Stan’s legacy while still shedding light on the other creatives who he couldn’t have done it without.
They are
every time I see him in a cameo from old movies it makes me feel warm inside
who is jack kirby and steve ditko and why did stan lee steal all of their credit?
@@SilverScarletSpider Find out in theaters!
@@SilverScarletSpider how tf do you know stan “stole” all the credit but don’t know Jack Kirby and Steve ditko?
Jack kirby's idea of Radd's origin is just as interesting. A shame he was never allowed to realise this.
Do you have a link to this Kirby initial origin?
Same as the other person what was his original idea
This is true where stan Lee, did tried to take credit for kirby's Invision of the silver surfer creation.
Silver Surfer is a great example of a character that can be both powerful and meaningful at the same time
If only Superman was like that
He would be the best fictional character if he was🙄
@@fademiller3874 superman is
@@nkemnoraulmanfredini7286 nah man superman isn't cool or meaningful. Really his story doesn't even make sense to me like how does our sun power him if he is not even from our Galaxy let alone people like Lex Luthor getting the best of him even though he has unlimited power 🤣
@@sonoisrael4660 superman essence permits him to absorb light and become light . lex luthor is superman but evil
one of my favourite marvel characters
Jack Kirby's concept and design for him alone is so cool but the way Stan Lee and other writers after him decided to write him just gave him so much more depth
At his best, the Surfer is a cowboy; chasing a stagnant sunset that both goes on forever and never goes anywhere.
Norrin Radd has an itch to find new frontiers and a code to keep himself in check that are at constant odds and prevent him from settling down anywhere.
This character is high-concept sci-fi at its best and far too cerebral for Marvel Studios to ever accurately capture.
It wouldn't work as the execs want. Surfer is a taste of not a whole meal. They'll want so many "epic" battles. When really he's just showing up to "worthy" planets right before their end. It'll be closer to a Carl Sagan doc than a Marvel movie
I like to think that Stan and Jack were in the same room coming up with ideas together, such as a character who comes across less as a typical comic book alien and more as a religious figure, or a character who can directly speak on behalf of the authors while existing within the story, and those ideas ultimately came together to form the Silver Surfer as we know him today. Of course, that would imply that neither fully appreciated the other’s contribution, and both tried to take all the credit. But I think Jack’s powerful imagery is just as important as Stan’s philosophical dialogue. Sadly, it’s not easy to accept that a single phenomenal character could have been originally created by two talented people who have different visions and don’t always get along.
I agree
He's not a power tripper, an ego maniac. Just a powerful being who is often outraged by the injustices in the Universe.
I really love Silver Surfer. I've got no hope that Marvel Studios will adapt him properly, but Norrin is easily one of the best characters in Marvel, in my opinion. Truly the observer.
Not like they have adapted all of the characters half assed. Except she hulk
Agreed, I have no hope for them to make a good surfer
@@jacobharris954 Thought Tatiana was fantastic. The actual series though? Spotty……………………..
@@thestarseeker8196 Marvel casting is always spot on except iron fist was not Kevin feige and Sarah finn fault lol
So, true there will never be a proper rendition of silver surfer. Because you would have to get the rights from the kirby kids to use their father's work and story boards rights.
Wow Lee and Kirby were fighting over such petty things, lots of ego. They really couldn’t have seen that the comics and their success were nothing without Kirby’s illustrations and lees dialogue and story telling.
I’m shocked how we never got a Silver Surfer movie or a cartoon or even a video game. He’s a such a cool character that needs more recognition.
There was a cartoon
At the very least he's ruling Marvel Snap right now
There was a cartoon.
Silver Surfer did have a Animated Series
There is a Silver Surfer animated series and it was incredible. Sadly, only one season. Kind of went over kid's heads.
Who is more Marvels space Jesus, Silver Surfer or Adam Warlock? The fact that they are both silver and gold always left me wondering if they were like the sun and the moon inversions of each other in some way.
I really enjoy philosophy and to have a character who dives into that, I find to be really cool. I’d love to see how he is added into the MCU if he ever gets there
Silver Surfer is such an underrated character when it comes to being adapted into other media. The 90s animated series & the F4 sequel may not have been well received, but they both pretty much nailed the character of Norrin Radd perfectly. If the Surfer ever does appear in the MCU (probably by the end of Phase Five's Secret Wars), it will pretty much take the fandom by storm.
Yeah. The 90's series is very underrated. If wasn't Marvel suffering financial problem it would probably lasted longer and could help make the Surfer more popular in other medias.
The animated series from 1998, is fantastic! Nails it!
The Silver Surfer still owes me money.
Silver Surfer, literally a damn near perfect character. Power, Morales, Value.
Sooooooo slick dude
Fantastic vid about my all time fav character. Surprised you don’t touch on SS: Black. Would be curious to hear your thoughts on that amazing series.
He killed billions. He is on the most epic redemption ark across the cosmos.
LETS GOOOOO
Silver Surfer was the very first comic book I collected and read on a monthly basis thanks to the gift of a subscription as a kid in the 80's. It sparked my love for comic books as a whole and I am so thankful for that. This character is a special one to me. Great video.
I've liked the Silver Surfer for years.
I love how he questions his place in the universe, and why the beings around him, act the way they do.
I admit to wondering why I'm here, from time to time.I think a lot of people have.
Remember the animated series he had in the late 90's? It captures him perfectly!
It was even done in Jack Kirby's art style!
I know I'm going to get a lot of flack, but I liked it more than X-Men:TAS!
It was a shame it ended on a cliffhanger!
I grew up on the 90's Marvel shows, so X-Men, TAS, and Silver Surfer. They were basically what introduced me to so many Marvel characters. It's funny my wife wonders how I know so many different Marvel characters, and catch all the random references from the MCU. My secret? 90's Marvel cartoons!
It's a shame the studio that made the Silver Surfer cartoon went bankrupt because the series ended on a cliffhanger.
I loved this video. The Silver Surfer is my favorite comics hero and you did a remarkable job of explaining what makes him great.
Bro I love your videos so much. Is there any DC character you want to talk about in depth? I’d love to see a video on Kyle Rayner, Wally West, any of the Robins, Mister Miracle or The Question
Yes, I second The Question
Dude what a great video ! The surfer is my favorite super hero of all time 💜 love the comics you chose to highlight as well ❤️
Silver Surfer was the best comic book antihero. Darker, and way more profound than other heroes.
The editing in this video went pretty crazy. You showed out for this one
Great video! Silver Surfer is my favorite comic book character and was the biggest reason I started reading/collecting comics back in the early 90s. I even have a couple issues of Silver Surfer framed on my wall. I think you really nailed what makes this character so great, and I really hope that one day we can get a film adaptation that does him justice and introduces him to a new generation of fans.
And I guess one of my takeaways is that I have some more recent Silver Surfer stories to catch up on ☺
My favorite super hero of all time. Its not even close. The surfer can do no wrong. " to me my gleaming board" -SS
Brilliant video! Thanks for making it!🏄
This was wonderful truly a marvellous video on the character
Awesome doc! Really enjoyed revisiting these story arches in this format, mixed with audio clips from the greats themselves. Truly epic storytelling!🤘 One critique... Why no Mephisto?! 😈
Ngl that little audio clip from the podcast is a really interesting insight into Kirby and Lee’s relationship and how they felt about each other’s work
Amazing video! Silver Surfer, I think, is one of the most fascinating Marvel characters ever created. I really hope the MCU adaptation (that is surely coming some day) does it justice, as it deserves to be among their best characters on screen
the silver surfer, still has my favorite character, a modern-day Ivanhoe. Also I really appreciate that you talk about it so well.
I have absolutely loved Silver Surfer, his character design, origin, and I remember watching the cartoons as a kid. I rewatched it as an adult and it was incredible.
I feel Lee took alot of credit for Kirby's work.
Highly recommend to those who haven't read Silver Surfer Black to do so! If you can get your hands on the treasury edition do yourself a favor it's an incredible experience.
Justice League III Next?
Fantastic…. My favorite for years !!! Love it
I REALLY feel the Silver Surfer and to me he represents the human soul questing the cosmos and learning about life......
I find the Silver Surfer fascinating a character who is an ever explorer always trying to make up for the past sins of his helping for galactus, trying to get back to Shala bal, and trying to teach us how we can be better the Silver Surfer is an amazing character and I do hope we get an mcu special presentation for him showing everyone what a great character he is
Helping Galactus was not sinful. Galactus has always been essential to the universe and Surfer actually has saved countless civilizations by leading Galactus to uninhabited worlds.
My second favorite marvel hero of all time NORIN RADD aka the SILVER SURFER
I love the silver surfer theme at the end of the video
Hands down my favorite character! I dont get how they havent created a movie with him.
Jack Kirby originally envisioned a being of pure energy who never had an origin revealed.
Excellent podcast Super Frame.
Surfer has always been my no:1 character in any comic books, be it Marvel or DC 😊❤
This vid was amazing! Just subbed
The Silver Surfer is a character that I’m interested in. Great video.
Any Stan/Jack conflict doesn’t matter to me. Their combined and equal passion is all that was needed for these characters and worlds.
I think Jack was the better writer though. Stan was a little too campy and he was less interested in world-building. I mean, Stan barely knew what to do with Daredevil or Doctor Strange.
Thanks for putting my appreciation of the Surfer into words.
I loved this. I would love to see a video of beta ray bill
These are my favorite videos of yours, analysing specific comic book characters. I would love to see more of these, but I am still a fan of whatever video type you make. Keep up with the great work.
Silver Surfer has been my favorite superhero since I found Silver Surfer Requiem in my high school library back in 2008. (In Thy Name is another favorite).
I was once told by a friend "who your top 3 heroes are says a lot about you", and I think that's one reason why seeing others appreciate him just as much as I do brings me joy. If more people admired him and aimed to embody who the Silver Surfer is, even if they fell short, because even Norrin does, the world would be a better place. I love how much care and thought you put into wanting to give him a proper video.
(I must agree that Stan's runs felt like a lot of empty words. They were too grandiose. Just about everyone else has written Silver Surfer with more weight.)
2:21 perfect opportunity to put white texts that float across screen saying “this guy”
I want a Stan Lee and Jack Kirby biopic movie.
I always loved this fella from the 1st time I saw him talking to Hank Hill on Fox Kids. I didn’t really think much of him until Marvel Ultimate Allianxe where I started bootlegging comics to understand the characters.
Him, Ghost Rider, The Thing, DeadPool, Wolverine, Luke Cage, Storm.
“Victory comes with no certain satisfaction. I may never know why we fought. If violence is ever truly justified, then perhaps, there is something worthy in the battle. Something beyond my understanding
- Death Battle Martian Man Hunter vs Silver Surfer
That line alone is so powerful and truly who this guy is
I love The Silver Surfer. And as I'm currently reading the comic book run of Marvel's First Family The Fantastic Four by Stan The Man Lee and Jack The King Kirby I can see why. He is such an awesome character.
what a beautiful video to one of the greatest philosofical marvel characters
I love the character studies.
This is a great video. I am getting a silver surfer tattoo this month. The cover of issue 5 by tradd moore
Silver surfer deserves more love it deserves a movie
Damn he’s such a legend. Even if I hate how comics look most of the time except some extraordinary shots. Boy really knew how to create his own bible 😂
Do a video like this on Doctor, Hulk and Iron Man
Beautiful man, thank you. Its been a wonderful life
Feel that they could intertwine SS with the lanterns
Regardless of who deserves more credit, I will say that Marvel characters have always resonated with me in ways others never did. Superman is a god among men, and he's indestructible, infallible, perfect, always right. But Marvel heroes felt like real people with real problems. They struggled, they overcame not just through brute strength, but through being clever and smart. I was more interested in heroes like Spider-Man and Daredevil, who were super, but also so deeply human.
Though I did also always love the Silver Surfer. He was powerful, and invincible, and god-like, but he was also internally conflicted, trying to gain understanding about himself, his place in the universe, and life. For whatever reason the Surfer resonated with me in ways other god-like heroes never did.
The way you can easily tell you barely read any Superman comics “perfect” is anything but to describe the character
Ron Lims artwork is beautiful
Stan was such a charming guy.
That was his strength and it was important. Despite any flaws, Marvel wouldn't be what it is without him.
My favorite superhero’s I got into him when I watch the movie breathless with
Richard Gear.
its about time
This is a pretty good video :) have a nice day.
A picture says a thousand words.
My fav hero. I’ll love to see him get a bigger role on the big screen.
Nice take.
Honestly tho, I'd rather see Gambit. I feel there's so much that could be done with the character. Like a curve from street/gambling/reckless /discovering his powers /discovering his 'greatness' /switching from antagonist to protagonist and however...
What do you think. Not exactly parallel comparisons..
I came here cuz the recent news about what Disney is about to do pissed me off glad I found this.
How that's another version of the character that exists in the comics too
Pissed you off how?
Thanks for the video. When I first saw the cartoon series about the Silver Surfer I was intrigued. How do you write a story of a being who has cosmological level of powers? How do make someone who can almost do anything interesting and compelling?
The Surfer is probably the raddest (heh) cosmic character
I think a silver surfer special presentation for silver surfer based on one of his first comic runs would work well. You have a lone surfer who has had his memory taken from him by galactus floating through an empty universe. He carries out his duties helping hat away unpopulated planets until he is hit by a solar storm that starts visions of a woman he’s never seen. He awakes confused and goes to galactus to find answers to his visions but the conversation amounts to nothing and the surfer is sent on to another planet, alone and isolated again. It is on this planet that he begins preparations for galactus until he is confronted by a tree like people. He is on Planet X (groots homeworld) many years before the mcu began. He is unable to communicate effectively with this race but begins to learn about life again and what it means to be kind. The film would end with him confronting galactus and regaining some of his memories but galactus will end up destroying Planet X but not before that give a sapling to the surfer and ask him to carry it to safety and continue their race. This action reminds rad of his original sacrifice and gives him new purpose. He eventually returns to his home planet to see that it is long gone. Galactus shows up and it is revealed that the flashbacks the surfer has been seeing were many many centuries ago and that his family and planet are long gone. The surfer realises that if he does not serve galactus that the destruction of planets will still continue so decides to act as his herald again to ensure that no more planets hosting sentient life are destroyed again.
Video suggestion: Will Galactus work for the MCU and how?
So long as they keep true to the comics, where Galactus is the cosmic pendulum between Eternity and Lady Death. They also must portray him as being neutral rather than villainous.
Even as Norin, he still had CAKE :P
We always talk about Stan this nigga jack was a menace tooo
😂😂
Jack Kirby described the Silver Surfer as a fallen angel being his inspiration for the character
Have you guys seen the old silver surfer show on Disney plus criminally underrated homeboy fights Thanos like twice
Where can I get the full interview between Stan and Jack?
they definitely did it together more or less
The Silver Surfer SHOULD have been introduced in Thor Love and Thunder or at least Beta Ray Bill should have been in that disappointing movie. Guardians Vol. 3 is a good slot to place the Herald of Galactus
Always been my favourite.
Make a pitch of a silver surfer movie or series
Awesome
Silver Surfer is more Satan on a surf board if he is a fallen Angel as Jack Kirby said
Just a interesting character i need to read some silver surfer
when i get out this grave; we could all talk about whatever you want.
Love the appreciation for one of my favorite heroes
…. and ace in the Marvel edition Top Trumps game in the 1970s along with Galactus.
Had a cool glitter and tie dye power cosmic T shirt in the 90s too. Geek! Yours Aye!
90s animated series is a masterpiece,
Disappointed it cancelled.
I completely agree!
Yeah that series is a shiny gem in the annals of time.
I love the Silver Surfer original series and I agree with Stan the writing does matter. I always preferred John Bucema’s art over Kirby’s when it came to drawling the Silver Surfer.
I always found Silver Surfer to be similar to Dr Manhattan. Also Silver Surfer is the only character from Marvel feels Majestic, imo.
Can you do an analysis for iron man in the comics.
How about a thunderbolts video?
Someday
