Were you born in the 80’s or early 90’s? Because you know way too much about things back when I was a kid.
Can u do a vid of the guardians of the galaxy from the future that have captain America in it?
the original character designer for the Digimon franchise cited Spawn and other 90's comics as inspiration for the first batch of creatures as they were trying to differentiate themselves from other popular monster collecting franchises
“The kids like chains” lol
There's a reason why Donny Cates used it for the name of his self-published line.
@@rolandkatsuragiand then Cates put chains on his new Venom lol (Eddie Brocks son)
He was talking to me 😮
Funnily enough while reading the 300 storyline, I noticed Todd not only forgot K7-Leetha's name, but that she's a parasite, not a symbiote.
Excellent video, bud! The reason Todd McFarlane was writing as "Will Carlton" was created as a test to see the fan reception and sales for Spawn's "new" writer without McFarlane's name attached to the comic. There were mixed reactions among fans, readers were saying they liked Carlton's writing and others preferred McFarlane. But Todd McFarlane heard from comic retailers that sales were down, so he "returned" in Spawn #216.
Isn't this the same reason JK Rowling ditched her pen name, when it turned out nobody liked her new book?
That is both hilarious and kinda depressing.
Spawn is an amazing character, but visually didn't come into his own until Greg Capullo started penciling him.
Spawn needs another movie or a tvshow.
Josh talking about Spawn, let’s go!
FIRE 🔥💯
Spawn is a really interesting character in my opinion
"Kids Like Chains" is now the name of a kickass Substack from Danny Cates, Ryan Ottley, and four or five other artists.
Good. I've always loved Spawn, such a cool character.
Knew all of them ! To me the Noprize !
I always look forward to a Spawn video!
You make some of the best comic videos. You just fall out of my algorithm between releases. I just hit the bell
I didn't know a few of these - thank you! I found it particularly interesting seeing the initial Spawn drawings from McFarlane's teenage years. They feel like they were heavily inspired by the stuff Jim Starlin was doing at the time.
I did know much about this stuff, but I was a Spawn reader on and off since the start through most of the 90's. The Tony Twist thing was known to me, but also, there's the reason behind why Chapel was no longer Al Simmons' killer later on in continuity or the movie. You might've hit on it in another video, but McFarlane danced around a lot of land mines in making this landmark character and his lore.
The record for longest "Creator Owned" comic is fine, but Dave Sim wrote and penciled art (all of it, except for the ridiculously detailed Gerhard backgrounds) to all 300 of those issues of Cerebus.
True, Macfarlane penciled I think, around 17 issues, not very impressive at all. After that, he co-pencilled a half dozen or so with Capullo and a few others. Then he inked Capullo for maybe a dozen issues. Since then, he's probably only penciled a handful, I think he did 200 or 300?
You'd be amazed at the number of times Todd took ideas from the letter pages of Spawn. Blood Fued definitely originated from a fan letter, even though Moore wrote the story.
I didn't know about half...buuuuuut it did make me want to go and crack open some of my spawn volumes, so a win all around!!! :)
The Gin and Beetlejuice line was funnier than it should have been.
Very informative video. I only knew 3 of these.
You know with todd mcfarlane also having to been one of the people who created Venom I wonder how much of Spawn’s traits was originally going to go to Venom? Because with both of them having two parasitic suits that are sentient there have had to have been some unused ideas for Venom that eventually went to Spawn right? I mean lots of creators reuse unused stuff for future projects so who’s to say this isn’t the case for Spawn
The concept of the symbiote suit was created by David Micheliene before Todd started drawing Spider-Man.
@@Aaron-zt5ee The concept of the symbiote was created by him, sure, but Venom wasn’t. After Todd McFarlane decided he didn’t like the look of black on Spiderman him and David started brainstorming, but the short version is that they would rip the symbiote off of Spiderman and put it on someone else. When Todd was designing the character all he had to work with was the colour black, but he made the character his own. Almost every design choice was his; He made Venom big, he gave him the teeth and eyes, etc.
@@eclipse_6964 the redesign wasn’t that severe. All he had to do was slap a mouth on the costume more or less. As for taking the suit off, that was done because of fan pressure at the time. I think it was a PAD story where he finally took it off.
@@Aaron-zt5ee It was done by fan pressure but it was also a decision that Todd agreed with heavily, so it doesn’t really matter. Sure Todd didn’t do anything crazy with the design but thats not the point, the point is nobody was stopping him from making the character exactly how he wanted seeing as all he had to work with was the colour black. There are podcasts where he talks about it and Im pretty sure he mentions it during his Live Drawing videos on the McFarlane Toys channel.
@@eclipse_6964I'm sure he mentions it a lot. Todd has always claimed to be the creator of Venom with plenty people at Marvel showing that the foundations for the character predates Todd's first Marvel work. Todd had a hand in it, but not any more or less than, say, Mike Zeck.
Savage dragon video incoming???.
I just found you today! I love this channel! Thank you!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy my videos.
You cannot make me learn things about Spawn. I refuse.
Maybe you guys can chat about Tomb of Dracula instead?
Surprised you weren't cited as Spawn's #1 fan, tbh
Love your videos man! So happy I stumbled on your channel🎉 Btw could you please tell the name of that groovy track from the very beginning of the video?
"What every edgy 13 year old wants to see in a comic book"
Never before have been so offended by something I 100% agree with
Awesome vid
you are criminally underrated!
Thanks! I appreciate you saying so.
No Meteor Man is the 1rst actually first BLK super hero movie
This is a good attempt at an “um, actually” but if we rewind the tape, I very clearly say “comic book movie”. Oh well, better luck next time!
Please, make a video on new ongoing spawn spin-offs, I think, many people don't pay due attention they deserve.
Fun video that made me fetch the Batman/Spawn Crossover from my shelf ;)
I was just reading Gunslinger and saw that was on my recommendation tab 😂😂
I knew all of it lol but still love hearing it and the video 💀🤘🏾🤘🏾
Can you do a video on the midnight sons/suns and there history?
Also a solo ghost rider video
May I ask where you got the shirt from? Looks cool
"Jinn and Beetle juice" Let's write the book. Thanks for the video.
Great video. Unrelated but can we get a collection tour??
Thanks! Funnily enough, I just filmed a collection tour last week. It will be up at some point this month.
Yay! Can't wait!
More Spawn, or Cerebus, or TMNT please
Don't forget he crossed over with the Ant and Angela including Jade in the series and the other DC and Marvel characters.
Thank you, Josh! Do Wanda or Terry bear any physical resemblance their real-world counterparts, or was Todd just in the habit of using people's names? I've occasionally been curious about that.
An addendum to the first point about the character being birthed virtually fully formed when Todd was a teenager in the late 70's: No one to my knowledge has ever made an official statement one way or the other, and I'm not calling Todd a liar because it well could be a case of convergent [design] evolution, but I can't help but notice some significant similarities between Spawn and John Byrne's Alpha Flight character 'Nemesis', who debuted just a few years prior to the founding of Image. I strongly encourage anyone to have a google and share your thoughts.
Holy moly, I didn't know about Nemesis.
@@landofthesilverpath5823 yeah, there's enough similarity that if I was John Byrne, it would've raised an eyebrow at the very least. BUT, he never caused a fuss, so....
Innnnteresting. I totally see it. Todd could showed Byrne his childhood drawings in private maybe?
@@user-rd5bu1hg1v Very possible. I'd always heard that the two didn't get along, but I can't find anything about a feud, so I might be just assuming based on how abrasive and outspoken both men are known to be. I figure if there was any [intentional] plagiarism in either direction, you can bet we would have heard about it.
My friend's dad was named Al Simmons.
Hi josh ... Thanks for good videos.
which was first: - Nightwatch (marvel) or Spawn ? (With there living caps)
Thanks
Spawn came first. Nightwatch is a Spawn rip-off, for sure. Glad you like the videos! 🙏
Thank you !!!
As a spawn fan, I actually like the idea of a white guy being a lost soul used as a disguise.
But I’m a white dude so I can say “literally me”
As ridiculous as the Spawn movie is, I think casting Snoop would've just turned it into a parody lol
Cool!!
How have we’ve not gotten a Spawn reboot movie or video game yet?🖤❤️💚👻
DID YOU KNOW Spawn even has his own dedicated month? #Spawntember baybeeee
Actually Alex proyas who directed The CROW 1994 with Brandon Lee in it (Rest in peace legend) was the first candidet to direct Spawn movie but he left to direct Dark city which is good but failed at the box office
Im starting to like spawn because of this
Most remakes are pretty pointless, but Spawn is one of those movies that should be remade. I remember Malebolgia looking dreadful. With the technology that's available today the character can really be done justice.
Yeah except theyll make spawn a trans genderqueer that's the problem
Do you have anything on Image comics THE HAUNT?
I actually knew all of that information.
Get that sponsorship money, hell yeah
Forgot i had a spawn batman crossover.
Comics are a great escape!😊
If Tim Burton would have directed spawn movie spawn would have been white for sure 😂
My dream come true
Well at least there's the best comic crossover between Spawn which is him with Batman.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
A guy named “Tony Twist” got 5 million dollars because McFarlane named a character “Antonio Twistelli”
I’ve never much cared for Macfarlane’s work and I still think that’s bullshit.
3:50 through 4:54 - Yeah that was fucking weird when I read that issue......so would this be on equal footing of yikes as Frank Castle being turned black?
8:12 - Shit I would kill for a DOOM 2016 clone with Spawn at the helm.....maybe one that pitted him against both Marvel Zombies and DCeased in one big high octane super zombie apocalypse where he then goes kill off Mistress Death and Necron and becomes the new grip reaper. And it plays like a hybrid of DOOM and DMC where he has to use melee attacks to fill up his "mana" for use with his "Hell Guns" but he also gets the option to use mortal made "Zombie Killer" guns made by Rocket Raccoon, and there's a co op multiplayer mode where the other players can play as either Ghost Rider or Etrigan.....
I was a huge Spawn fan but I have to admit I’m surprised that it is still being published. All the spin-offs aside the main series should have ended after 225 issues, then maybe two years of a Gunslinger Spawn and King Spawn would lead to 80 issues of Hellspawn vol.2 but some time off (and later return) would help to revitalise interest in the character.
👍
I knew all of these.
I want a free world spawn video game!!
Love your videos, wanna see your toy shelves
✌👾
He bought that character from the real al Simmons
Never hread of the hockey player Tony Twist. 🤣
Todd Mcfarlanes Career > Tony Twist Hockey Career
Todd McFarlane is the best artist in the world.
all I want is to DC, Marvel and Image to join forces and make a Spawn, Ghost Rider and Lobo crossover to make the most metal comic book that ever existed
is this just a Marvel channel?
No, I mostly make videos about 90s and 2000s superhero comics, cartoons, toys, and movies.
@@PanelstoPixels Oh okay, I love Image comics, Marvel and a Big DC comics fan
You should talk about something else instead of comics
What do you suggest?
If they can make a black little mermaid, spawn can definitely be a white guy. He would be a productive spawn
No lol
