For the last 5 months we have been working hard on Volume 2 and we can't wait to share it with you! Coming July 29th only on Vimeo-on-Demand, only $3.99! vimeo.com/ondemand/epichistoryxmenvol1/121379924 Special Thanks to everyone who purchased Volume 1 and made it possible for us to produce Volume 2! :D
nice info, that fact of wolf being manipulated by the prof x and that prof x is not 2 be confused with Martin Luther king, while he made his child warriors who died, i can dig that Magneto follows the same strategy as Malcolm X still active as we speak :-),,,,, Volume 2 will bring out the New mutans, Phoenix story line is great and one first look of that great power:-)
Bigotry racism stereotypes all stem from natural ability to discern our environments what racism is weaponizing natural human behavior. Its obvious that people have different skin colors cultures etc. But what someone did was take our innate fears of unknown and our ego and desire to be great and turn it into a weapon to justify taking from others for the benefits of one
I hope she's changed her stance on the Nuclear Family. As it's safe to say the destruction of it by feminists has completely help deteriorate our modern society. Just take a look at the differences in these videos of CBG19....and ones she's made lately. The difference in her is crazy. Vulgar....
I came just to get all nostalgic about my beloved X-Men but I love that you brought up actual history that inspired the stories. Now, I'm going to share this with my little girl so she can learn and perhaps be inspired. Thank you!
Everyone claims the Disney Avengers Movies were better then the X-Men ones by Fox, & makes it out like the Avengers are better then the X-Men now, but in reality? All they really want is more X-Men, & now that Disney is going to buy & own the X-Men rights, now all the Fans are going to forget about the Avengers, & just care about only one thing? The X-Men, lOl… Because that is all they really want, hahahahhaaaaaaa… ^_- MORE!!!
You talking about the Stealing of things from DC or vise versa, or from other Movies & Comic Characters? Things like that? How Deadpool, Deathstroke, & Ravager all look similar? I don't really see them as the Same character... I find their each unique, you can go & say or see & think they are the same, just simply because of a piece of clothing, or the way they act is similar in Design... But I find them similar, but yet also different in a way... ~_~ Deathstroke or Slade is to me a Villain who looks like & orange & Black version of Deadpool, but, but? He uses Weapons & Gagets to kill, & does everything in his power to do so, he is a sinister Villain who is not to be taken lightly... So far, I've seen him face the Titans mainly Robin, Batman, & Green Arrow... He's also Serious... --------------------------------- Deadpool however? We'll be not only looks like Deathstroke, uses Gadgets & Weapons, but he originally had Teleportation, & later gets Wolverine's Healing, as well has he completely Defies all logic, I mean, he just does whatever, whenever, however, even if that means altering time & space, he's just one of those, I dunno, Unknown Types, lOl… He's also a Mouth Full of can't sht up... lOl… --------------------------------- Ravager, we'll hes more old school from like 80's or earlier Generations... He's got this bad attitude vibe going on, oO He wears that whole Trench coat thing some Characters go around with along with a Utility Belt, & has futuristic blasters... The Guns are his only real type of Futuristic things about him... & his mask makes him look more like a burgler or Klown, or Bank Robber... Major Differences? Deathstroke is that iconic Villain to some chars with a Suit & Mask... Deadpool is that 1 thing that is wrong with the Universe, that just can't settle down or find a place in it without ruining it, lOl Ravager is that old school Punk with a Coat, Mask, & Gun, o_@ -------------------------------------- See? They aren't technically the same, they have stuff the same, yet, but still not completely the same characters, o_@
Special thanks to everyone who bought Volume 1 on Vimeo on Demand, your contributions have made it possible for us to make Vol 2. Also big ups to everyone who bought our CBG19 Calendar whose funds helped us to produce Epic History X-Men Vol1...we couldn't have done it without you ;D
comicbookgirl19 I never leave comments on RUclips videos but I have to say: This was fantastic! You've undertaken something very ambitious and you're off to a great start, I can't wait for Volume 2.
comicbookgirl19 I am so glad I bought it I watched it 3 times and I totally can't wait for volume 2. You have so much talent for making things like this, I really don't mind paying for vids, they are not expensive for the quality. :):)
This was not what I expected at all. This was FANTASTIC. I really like the blending of the X-Men history and the historical context in which it was written. Very well done.Thank you.
@@6a1aRZA but that's literally the back drop of the X men. If you want to fully understand what inspired the creation of the X men then learning about that time period is key. Maybe you might not appreciate it but other fans will
Tyrone Mawela I understand what you are saying. However, don’t give me some feminist liberal spewing profanity in purple hair pushing out a wayward perspective. That’s why she sucks from a conservative male perspective.
@@6a1aRZA but X-Men definitely has progressive-type storylines, it's hard to deny it... If you follow much of the history of the franchise you see that some of it's best moments looked towards a philosophy of acceptance of "the different". The conservatives actually hate mutants in the comic's universe lol
Just continues 😂 6 years ago, sure, 2 years ago probably worse than ever, with the pandemic beginning, and even worse now with the Russian invasion of Ukraine 😅
I just discovered this channel in 2022 and I'm blown away by the production quality and information. I fell in love with the X-Men (and comic books in general) in like the 3rd or 4th grade when _X:tAS_ dropped, and have never looked back. Thanks for this.
@@jaredgarcia8638 JJ actually was very outspoken against both the Mutant Registration laws, and the Superhuman Registration Act. So as messed up as he is, he still has some small level of integrity.
***** The plan all along was to eventually release it to the public for free. Team 19 needs to pay rent but they also don't want all their content behind a paywall
***** They said from the beginning that these would all end up on RUclips eventually. They will make money off ad revenue on RUclips as well. Regardless of how many people paid 3 bucks, what you are saying equates to saying "I guess nobody bought tickets" when you see Jurassic Park aired on broadcast television.
@@TowDow3 F that. Pedos are not wanted anywhere...and anyone I know who are LGBT want NOTHING to do with Nambla and the like...just like most of the world who thankfully think these "individuals" are just the sick weirdos that they actually are.
My uncle gave me ROM #17 and TPB Wolverine #1-4 limited series for Xmas...that was in 1987 and I was only 5! But he saw how I was always drawn to Wolverine when I would watch him organize his collection ...after that the X-men would always be a big part of my life! 💙💛❌💙💛
comicbookgirl19 was slightly worried as a new subscirber. diggin' your videos, plus love irreverent humor. California On Comic-Con 5 had a couple irreverent 'racial humor' moments that didn't quite stick the landing... as in least be funny... just to me. whatev, it's your channel. awesome retrospective tho. i'm actually a historian/documentarian---and now confirmed fan.
Absolutely not. She understands x-men totally but let’s be real shes way too much of an activist.... I couldn’t trust her with the characters. There are some really fucked up heroes in the x-men and I wouldn’t trust her to highlight that well at all.
This is amazing. It answered so many suspensions I had about the X-Men movies, specially in the recent Days of Future Past film were they talk about the Cuban missile crisis, horrible human experiments by the government, terrorism attacks, and many theory's proposed or discovered around that time I bet. Thank you for confirming that the X-Men weren't just fun, but tied with the Social and political problems we faced and still face today. 😀
Also, now that I have seen the documentary, WHAT STORYLINE COULD POSSIBLY TOP THOSE WHICH YOU SAID!?!?!? Those which mirrored us were like OHMAHGERD like they were that fucking awesome. Can't wait to find out what the heck could possibly top that.
The passion that oozes out from your voice and the combination of the epic soundtrack really makes this not just informative but also an emotional journey.
I like this explanation of why other super heroes are not discriminated against as the mutants. Now that I think about it, ...it could be looked out as ridiculous just as such biases are hypocritical and ignorant in real life. It was always off to me how the Marvel Universe subjugated some heroes and not everyone.
I've been going through your videos -- just found you on the youtubes -- and I want to say how much I respect your voice and your passion. It's a breath of fresh air and it's badass.
Thank you so much for doing this. I didn’t have comic book stores near me when I was a kid so despite my love for everything fantasy and superhero, I could never foster it. I could only watch the cartoons of x-men in the 90s and then the movies. This was always my favorite comic story and now I can finally learn all of the history and backstory! Keep being awesome!
Comic Book Girl 19 This is an amazing documentary series. I truly hope to see you do more of these because 1) you are incredible at this. 2) I haven't seen many girls do comic videos and I would love to see more. 3) Your energy is incredible and pulls you into the story and its themes. 4) you have a hilarious side kick robot 5) your incredibly knowledgeable about the comic universe. Please continue these amazing videos.
I've always thought the success of the "All New, All Different" X-Men was due to the resonance a multicultural, multi-racial team has with the "world that fears and hates them" part of the X-Men tagline. There's a dissonance between the X-Men's primary theme and a group of white kids who could all pass as average people.
YESSSS!!! This is why I love you, CBG19 (and team)! What an educational, entertaining, well-produced, well-researched video! I loved all the little animations, pictures from the original comics, and your little jokes with Robot. I have always loved the X-Men, but like many people I mostly know them from the TV shows and movies. (There's just too many comics to catch up...) This video was GREAT. I just want to add that usually, when I'm watching RUclips videos, I hit play and then do other stuff at the same time (games, food, work, etc). But I actually sat through the entire hour of this video glued to the screen. Please know that your work is VALUABLE and greatly APPRECIATED. Thank you!!!
comicbookgirl19 Just playing devils advocate for a tick....You talk about human's fear of mutants being this totally bigoted perspective...and in this real world of ours that generally holds, however, in the Marvel Multiverse, Mutants are a threat to the well being of the general public....a homosexual isn't likely to lose concentration...have...say a midlife crisis...and whoopsie...Storm just obliterated the planet because she was in a grumpy mood...which if I'm not mistaken is a reality for her...this is why Xavier always does those shady moves, like putting mental blocks inside of Jean Greys mind, to prevent full access to her potentially devastating powers. He acknolwadges that some mutants have powers, that if brought to light of public scrutiny, would set his peaceful coexistence efforts back....at least a decade or two. He puts the wellfare for the mutant population ahead of the individuals right to free will. Which when you get down to it is the basis for the argument FOR mutant oppression. Again I am playing devils advocate but, I think it's important to address these issues from every angle. I belive the symbolism in mutant oppression is more profound that that of drawing parallels between it and racism, or other civil rights issues. I think you could think of the artsy misfit kids that never seem to fit into anyone peer group in highschool. The ones who...while exploring different subcultures and identity roles...don't manage to find a neat little box to place themselves within. I didn't know if if I was punk, goth, or a hippy....I just knew I liked a lot of music and liked to dress flamboyantly (I'm straight...not that it matters...just wanted to be clear on the term flamboyant)...a group of friends and I...visual artists, poets, like myself, and musicians formed a school club after one of our numbers commited suicide...two ore followed her that year and it wasn't long before trailer park mothers with their behive-1970's hair, were having meetings about us...and dragging the teacher that helped me organize our meetings and performances in for questioning (even accusing her of cheating on her husband...with another teacher on school grounds...all to try to shut us down...so I made a ton of friends of Xavier T-shirts wth the X-Men logo and that is what I mean about X-Men being about more than just bigotry and ignorance...while still examining what a threat seems like to a white power nut....to a skinhead...a non-white....non-Christian...non-straight, person...is just as dangerous as the Scarlet Witch on her worst day of pathological instability....really wonder what your thoughts are on these comments...so, assuming I haven't already lost you to whimsy...thank for reading and I look forward to your opinion.
Black Widow If nobody cares about my original post, I wish they wouldn't comment on it, rather than just leeching on it for attention since CBG19 actually replied to me. But alas, here we are.
The x-men are my all time favorite super heroes ever and I'm still waiting to see them done justice on the big screen. Storm is my all time favorite character and she deserves better.
Rogue and Gambit more than any other characters deserve justice on the big screen. Rogue didn't get it in the original trilogy and obviously Gambit hasn't gotten his due.
Sebastian Gonzales I remember when I first saw X-Men as a child and getting a light up Cyclops toy he was the best. He's always getting the shaft on the big screen though...

That background part in the beginning just about what was going on in American history was really well done. Honestly had me in shedding tears, just had the hair on the back of my neck tingling. Thanks :)
Just discovered your documentary while wasting away another boring work day. You truly do a great job with your subject and you nail it perfectly. Comic book girl you make us nerds proud and I truly mean that. You hit on the undertones that have been there since the beginning!! I am watching part two today.
Why everything she said in relation to the civil rights and the X-men is wrong. It has to do with liberty vs security. Nothing to do with being gay or being black. Just the worst.
wow....reading thru some of these comments here...some of you guys are negative as fuck! Id like to see yall try ur hand at what this chick is doing....I wouldnt consider myself a huge fan of comics...but she has actually ignited my interest...and has explained a lot of concepts i didnt quite understand in the movies. So what if shes not 100% accurate? Art is subjective...n though I might not be able to quote dates n comic issues...Hats off to CBG19 for making it relatable n interesting to the rest of us who are not consumed by escaping into an alternate reality (though this one shes painting is hella awesome). Books...movies...opinions...never the exact same viewpoint....I admire the passion this was made with...n the intention to clarify n condense a ton of info into one of the best youtube vids Ive ever seen. Keep it up Team CBG19
I don't know, I just wanted it to be perfect in my mind. I was hoping I'd learn a lil' bit, reaffirm some things I'd known, and just enjoy watching you kill it..... But if you didn't I would have been highly disappointed, (Like a shitty RRM fan) despite knowing your hard work and resolve on this matter. Didn't think it was fair of me to hold that over your head. So I didn't watch it. I watched everything else you put out and acted like it didn't exist. But one day I said "FUCK IT" and watched it, and I was amazed. You hit all the dots and then some. My buddy, who never watches your show loved it. So basically I was afraid to watch it because I'm an asshole.
Yeah, that's it...do something worthwhile like making a video about the history of fictional characters that will do shit for the world...SOOO worthwhile...this video might cure cancer or eliminate hunger and poverty...fucking moron
TheMaximvs these videos DO serve a function, and so what if she's not curing cancer, she's a comic lover who took the time to explain the convoluted history of these characters to people that only know the movie versions of these characters. There is so much history behind them that the films can't possibly go into.
TheMaximvs the whole point of this video is that THE FICTIONAL PROPERTY OF THE X-MEN HAS DONE SHIT FOR THE WORLD! The entire goal of their story, aside from giving great entertainment and storyline is to enlighten readers on the evils of prejudice and bigotry, which is so very present in this world today as it was then. The devoted fans of the X-Men should be more likely recognize these evils when they see them in the world and identify them and understand the right thing to do. And this girl here understands that very well and is expressing that in this video with great enthusiasm and clarity, which maybe you just didn't watch, or didn't get. So I'm not sure why you're even here, bro.
First of all, I just found this and it’s fantastic. History, comics lore, and a summary of all the old comics I don’t feel like dredging through. Second of all, the x men have stayed surprisingly relevant since the 60s which is great for the characters but probably not a good thing for society
Epic indeed, you guys did an amazing job, this is very entertaining and informative, its also super educational on modern American history and social issues, fantastic job, my hats off to the entire crew.
I recently started reading comic books again and decided to start with the original 1963 X-men and work my way through the books in the order they were printed. The stuff from the 60s is so damn cheesy but I try and pay attention to when it was printed and associate it with what was going on in the world at the time. I stumbled across this video and wanted to applaud you, well made!
I started reading X-Men again during the pandemic. I read it during the 90s, but this time I went back to 1963. This video was so well done. Glad I came across it.
While I hugely respect all the effort you put into this very eloquent, cohesive and well-edited video, the fact that we NEED these explanations to understand comic book continuity is also the reason why I will NEVER start reading super hero comics. 60 years of continuity with a bajillion retcons, crossovers and event comics are just too much. Good stories need to end. Yet they just keep piling and piling everything on top of each other until it collapses under its own weight. I can't get into this. But I WILL keep watching these videos. :)
SilverAnicore Everyone thinks that at the beginning, but it gets easier) You can always use Marvel Wiki and other sources if you want to just know whos who and what happened. Comics are like a never ending tv series))) And its awesome
SilverAnicore Well it might be a bit easier come this fall post secret wars. It depends on how well they condense and if they retell origins afterwards. If they do then that'll be the new baseline to start from. And with Dc they've already done that with the new 52 and previous crises so if you're looking for something with less continuity to sift though that could be an option for you.
SilverAnicore That's why I liked New 52. It said fuck everything, start over. Some of it was good, some bad, but it was nice just being able to sink in.
Personnally I can't understand this mentality. When I got into comics I was immediately blown away by the rich history. Characters had decades worth of adventures (with beginnings and endings) behind them. One book made you care for characters appearing in another book which lead you to discover another great book and so on. If something was bad, you just ignored it and discovered a dozen other great things. Videos such as these and the internet in general should not make continuity a big issue anymore.
SilverAnicore i thought the same but i really wanted to read xmen comics so i started from the 80s and then the 60s, i have a general view but to this day i've havent fishined them yet
This may be my opinion, but I've never liked the cat version of Beast. His original blue design had enough abnormality to it that he looked nonhuman but he still had a kind, welcoming face that matched his personality. Cat Beat's face always looked angry and bitter to me and that really turned me off to the whole design.
My only complaint I have is that the music is a bit too loud in some parts. Makes it harder to hear her in some moments. But overall. This is fucking phenomenal.
Having started to read the original comics I feel like this overview kinda skips over the fact that a lot of what she was talking about as far as the minority allegory would come a little later. Most of the original problems where mutants that themselves decided they were better than anyone else, and a lot of people loved the X-men after they beaten Magneto the first time. And Magneto didn't really have his backstory yet. It would be only after the Sentinels were revealed that the idea of human enemies would start changing the ideas of the X-men. And I think Charles and Magneto being allegories is a bit of a stretch at this time.
Silver M21 you’re correct that it’s a stretch in the beginning but Stan Lee still claims it was supposed to be an allegory... To be honest, I don’t think his stories in this book were anywhere near as good as his work in Fantastic Four or Spider-Man, but his issues were better than most of the Roy Thomas and other issues of the Silver Age X-men era. To me, it didn’t get really good until Giant-Size #1. The best thing you could say about Lee and Kirby’s run is they created so many classic characters. It wouldn’t be until later that they were written very well.
I grew with the X-MEN AND NEVER REGRETTED A SINGLE COMIC BOOK READ. THEY WERE MORE THAN MOST EVER IMAGINED. OUTCASTS AND HEROES IN A TWISTED WELL WRITTEN WAY. NOV 20 2023
did you watch the video. i didn't, I listened to it while I did other things, when you can't see her lips moving,you realize that most of the time throughout the video the music and her voice are almost the same volume, which means they are competing. the music does not share her timber or vocal range and therefore does not compliment.
if its her opinion that it does complement her voice then whats it to you to tell him differently, its his opinion people interprets things differently and your view isnt always the right view, you act like a douche bag to almost everyone that replied to your comment, being a smart ass and condescending is no way to act to people specially thoughs who where looking for a nice discussion and to synthesis. also manumitier was just trying to add some comedic affect to the situation and you again act like a rude piece of shit, but im not gonna get to worked up about it i know sooner or later you will forget that you are not behind your keyboard and say the wrong thing to the wrong person, and hopefully realize that the way we talk to one another actually has affect on our day to day life. your opinion isnt always others and there is no need to break it down to a science just to try and prove that your correct, as i said people perceive things differently being a douche doesnt change a thing.
Behind the scene, the idea of mutants having been born with there powers came up when Stan Lee ran out of ideas for more original ways of getting super powers. There's like so many ways how people get there hands on radiations or other crap. So basically Stan Lee was lazy, but whatever works.
A little off on Malcolm Xs views, but it's all good lol. His were the same as MLK views, he just advocated for going about getting there differently. Both wanted equality though
James Dobson their factions were coming together when MLK was killed. Civil rights would of looked a lot different with these two together. I'm usually not one for allegory but I guess I'm growing old and sentimental.
Really really great video! You had me paying attention from start to finish and the historical frame you included was very interesting and informative! I've been researching a lot about the X-men recently and this video talked about things I had never heard of. Thanks!
This was very well made. I loved it. The writing, historical parallels, your delivery, it all worked wonderfully. I didnt intend to watch it all but I did and Im going to watch the others also.
@@allieversaid I mean yeah, they’ve got Thor and Hulk, but the X-Men have Storm and Colossus, Thor has said Storm is almost his equal, and Colossus has gone head-to-head with the Juggernaut
I KNOW! Buying those 94 fleet ultra cards at the Indy ComicCon was the best decision I've made in a while. It's crazy how looking at those images can immediately take you back!
As an avid X-Men fan this video was amazing. Great history, information, and editing. Absolutely loved this! Would recommend this to any newcomer who needs a fast crash course on the X-Men. Truly a legendary comic franchise! The best imo.
Hey... Im subscribing... I ❤ you! I've loved x-men my whole life!! I really enjoy your combo of telling the stories in your words but showing the art. I can't wait to finish the series hun! You're super dope! Keep it up!
I am actually old enough to have had and read all the original X-Men, the reprints, and the new team. I think you did an X-cellent job on this in-depth look into my favorite mutants. Claremont and Byrne were my favorite creative team. I can't wait to see your take on their run.
OMG - I highly admire the way you convey and relate the real hardcore story of Marvel's X-Men to the social-political movements. Makes me tear out of joy. You inspire me. Thank you much for sharing
I enjoyed this video... But I really dislike when people (usually white) boil down Malcolm X to media stereotypes like "he hated white people." Malcolm and Martin had a lot more in common then not. His last year involved him going to places like Oxford letting everyone know the horrible conditions of blacks in America. Telling ALL folks that they need to fight for freedom.
Comic Book Girl 19, I appreciate you understanding the gravity of what has been going on in this country for only a few short decades. I feel the same way you do. I grew up in the 80's being born in 1976 and fortunately didn't have to go through the horrors of what people from a older generation had to go through. it was still tough having to deal with some racism being a African American man, but fortunately I lived up north in New York in my younger years as a child. I hope more people that are "millenials" will acknowledge how the country was just a few decades ago and appreciate what they have now, although there is still plenty of work to still be done. Thanks
Constructive criticism: It sounds good in my headphones, but imagine on my stereo it'd be waking people up and I wouldn't watch at at night. Love the video though! :)
The Giant-Size X-Men was my re-introduction to the world of superhero comics as an adult. A friend gave me a back copy in 1981 when I was in college, and I was hooked. Afterwards I ate up the X-Men, New Mutants, Avengers and New Teen Titans for several years. Most Saturday afternoons you'd see me in the Student Union Cafe, reading old and new issues over coffee, just like the girl in the A-Ha video "Take On Me". Sadly, no one pulled me into the comics, though!
Please make captions available!!!!! My partner is deaf and was trying to share this with him so he can fall in love with X-men with me, but he can’t hear it 😞
one thing people forget is that after malcolm x went to mecca he calmed down a lot, and a lot of the things that were attributed to malcolm x were not his doing.
+naturalistmind EXACTLY! The popular/group think media has let people believe otherwise. If you learn about him, independently, you learn that he had every reason to feel how he felt because the times and the actions of many "non-mutants" validated his resentments and even still, towards the end of his life he saw another path
Not necessarily into comics, but loved this documentary. Very interesting, X-Men characters are great. I only watched the tv series in the late 80's early 90's. Malcom X and Dr.King info...love it
For the last 5 months we have been working hard on Volume 2 and we can't wait to share it with you! Coming July 29th only on Vimeo-on-Demand, only $3.99! vimeo.com/ondemand/epichistoryxmenvol1/121379924
Special Thanks to everyone who purchased Volume 1 and made it possible for us to produce Volume 2! :D
Thanks for putting up volume 1 on RUclips for free
nice info, that fact of wolf being manipulated by the prof x and that prof x is not 2 be confused with Martin Luther king, while he made his child warriors who died, i can dig that Magneto follows the same strategy as Malcolm X still active as we speak :-),,,,, Volume 2 will bring out the New mutans, Phoenix story line is great and one first look of that great power:-)
Link is broken. Is this still available for purchase?
@@vaer-k it’s available free on her RUclips
Get Ready! Epic History X-MEN Volume 2 - The Phoenix Saga! Coming JULY 29th 2015 to VIMEO-ON-DEMAND!
comicbookgirl19 can't wait
So fucking rad! First time I saw this tonight... cheers. You guys run game, robot son & comic girl19 daughter! Continue the badassery, no doubt.
comicbookgirl19 So rad, thank you for this!
Volume 2!! Excited
Yusssss!! Highlight of a shit week
Best line ever: "It doesn't make much sense, but bigotry never does". :) great video, I'm happy to have found it.
33:50
Woketard crap
The stamement she makes right before that "bigotry sentence" makes no sense, because it's not a contradiction.
Bigotry racism stereotypes all stem from natural ability to discern our environments what racism is weaponizing natural human behavior. Its obvious that people have different skin colors cultures etc. But what someone did was take our innate fears of unknown and our ego and desire to be great and turn it into a weapon to justify taking from others for the benefits of one
I hope she's changed her stance on the Nuclear Family. As it's safe to say the destruction of it by feminists has completely help deteriorate our modern society.
Just take a look at the differences in these videos of CBG19....and ones she's made lately. The difference in her is crazy. Vulgar....
I came just to get all nostalgic about my beloved X-Men but I love that you brought up actual history that inspired the stories. Now, I'm going to share this with my little girl so she can learn and perhaps be inspired. Thank you!
Everyone claims the Disney Avengers Movies were better then the X-Men ones by Fox,
& makes it out like the Avengers are better then the X-Men now, but in reality?
All they really want is more X-Men, & now that Disney is going to buy & own the X-Men rights,
now all the Fans are going to forget about the Avengers, & just care about only one thing?
The X-Men, lOl… Because that is all they really want, hahahahhaaaaaaa… ^_-
MORE!!!
VZA the history is not accurate. You should look closer. They made money of others, culture, ideas and movements.
You talking about the Stealing of things from DC or vise versa, or from other Movies & Comic Characters? Things like that?
How Deadpool, Deathstroke, & Ravager all look similar?
I don't really see them as the Same character... I find their each unique, you can go & say or see &
think they are the same, just simply because of a piece of clothing, or the way they act is similar in Design...
But I find them similar, but yet also different in a way... ~_~
Deathstroke or Slade is to me a Villain who looks like & orange & Black version of Deadpool, but, but?
He uses Weapons & Gagets to kill, & does everything in his power to do so, he is a sinister Villain who is not to be taken lightly...
So far, I've seen him face the Titans mainly Robin, Batman, & Green Arrow... He's also Serious...
---------------------------------
Deadpool however? We'll be not only looks like Deathstroke, uses Gadgets & Weapons, but he originally had
Teleportation, & later gets Wolverine's Healing, as well has he completely Defies all logic, I mean, he just
does whatever, whenever, however, even if that means altering time & space, he's just one of those, I dunno,
Unknown Types, lOl… He's also a Mouth Full of can't sht up... lOl…
---------------------------------
Ravager, we'll hes more old school from like 80's or earlier Generations... He's got this bad attitude vibe going on, oO
He wears that whole Trench coat thing some Characters go around with along with a Utility Belt, & has futuristic blasters...
The Guns are his only real type of Futuristic things about him... & his mask makes him look more like a burgler or Klown, or Bank Robber...
Major Differences?
Deathstroke is that iconic Villain to some chars with a Suit & Mask...
Deadpool is that 1 thing that is wrong with the Universe, that just can't settle down or find a place in it without ruining it, lOl
Ravager is that old school Punk with a Coat, Mask, & Gun, o_@
--------------------------------------
See? They aren't technically the same, they have stuff the same, yet, but still not completely the same characters, o_@
@Lane Dallas wtf You hacked your gf?
That's why I hated this video. I just wanted X0Men, but I for this woke agenda crap talking about social structures and nuclear families not working.
Special thanks to everyone who bought Volume 1 on Vimeo on Demand, your contributions have made it possible for us to make Vol 2. Also big ups to everyone who bought our CBG19 Calendar whose funds helped us to produce Epic History X-Men Vol1...we couldn't have done it without you ;D
comicbookgirl19 its an incredible doco and a pretty big achievement. you should be proud of yourself
comicbookgirl19 this was just amazing i really enjoy the background music and voice overs you used. i really excited for vol. 2 now.
comicbookgirl19 MOAR plz
comicbookgirl19 I never leave comments on RUclips videos but I have to say: This was fantastic! You've undertaken something very ambitious and you're off to a great start, I can't wait for Volume 2.
comicbookgirl19 I am so glad I bought it I watched it 3 times and I totally can't wait for volume 2. You have so much talent for making things like this, I really don't mind paying for vids, they are not expensive for the quality. :):)
Malcolm's stance on segregation had greatly changed by the end of his life
He was also working with Dr. King eventually
Yea, it's sad how much of history is left out to keep those two great thinkers apart and thought of as enemies of sorts.
Whenever someone talks about Cyclops' powers and makes it a point to say it's not a laser I am instantly friends with that person.
This was not what I expected at all. This was FANTASTIC. I really like the blending of the X-Men history and the historical context in which it was written. Very well done.Thank you.
Came for comics, learned about the 60s
Yeah this broad sucks!!!
@@6a1aRZA but that's literally the back drop of the X men. If you want to fully understand what inspired the creation of the X men then learning about that time period is key. Maybe you might not appreciate it but other fans will
Tyrone Mawela I understand what you are saying. However, don’t give me some feminist liberal spewing profanity in purple hair pushing out a wayward perspective. That’s why she sucks from a conservative male perspective.
@@6a1aRZA but X-Men definitely has progressive-type storylines, it's hard to deny it... If you follow much of the history of the franchise you see that some of it's best moments looked towards a philosophy of acceptance of "the different". The conservatives actually hate mutants in the comic's universe lol
Tyrone Mawela perhaps so, I was born in 81’ and Jim Lee did the X-men just right.
“In my opinion, right now, we’re in the middle of another era of sweeping social changes.” Well, that aged well.
Yup lol
Continues to age well
You have no idea, I wish I was back then
Still aging 😂
Just continues 😂 6 years ago, sure, 2 years ago probably worse than ever, with the pandemic beginning, and even worse now with the Russian invasion of Ukraine 😅
I just discovered this channel in 2022 and I'm blown away by the production quality and information. I fell in love with the X-Men (and comic books in general) in like the 3rd or 4th grade when _X:tAS_ dropped, and have never looked back.
Thanks for this.

My uncle gave me ROM #17 and TPB Wolverine #1-4 limited series for Xmas...that was in 1987 and I was only 5! But he saw how I was always drawn to Wolverine when I would watch him organize his collection ...after that the X-men would always be a big part of my life!

comicbookgirl19 was slightly worried as a new subscirber. diggin' your videos, plus love irreverent humor. California On Comic-Con 5 had a couple irreverent 'racial humor' moments that didn't quite stick the landing... as in least be funny... just to me. whatev, it's your channel. awesome retrospective tho. i'm actually a historian/documentarian---and now confirmed fan.

Kevin Feige hire this woman to consult for X-Men
Yes
Her and rob @comicsexplained are a total dream team for x-men comics
Ty Long Kevin is a asshole
Absolutely not. She understands x-men totally but let’s be real shes way too much of an activist.... I couldn’t trust her with the characters. There are some really fucked up heroes in the x-men and I wouldn’t trust her to highlight that well at all.
@@Herbieswizz I mean aren’t the x-men activists to other mutants?
This is amazing. It answered so many suspensions I had about the X-Men movies, specially in the recent Days of Future Past film were they talk about the Cuban missile crisis, horrible human experiments by the government, terrorism attacks, and many theory's proposed or discovered around that time I bet. Thank you for confirming that the X-Men weren't just fun, but tied with the Social and political problems we faced and still face today. 😀
Also, now that I have seen the documentary, WHAT STORYLINE COULD POSSIBLY TOP THOSE WHICH YOU SAID!?!?!? Those which mirrored us were like OHMAHGERD like they were that fucking awesome. Can't wait to find out what the heck could possibly top that.
The passion that oozes out from your voice and the combination of the epic soundtrack really makes this not just informative but also an emotional journey.
Hate is indeed a passion. She hates the source material with every fiber of her being.
I like this explanation of why other super heroes are not discriminated against as the mutants. Now that I think about it, ...it could be looked out as ridiculous just as such biases are hypocritical and ignorant in real life. It was always off to me how the Marvel Universe subjugated some heroes and not everyone.
Her eyes opened wider when telling the Wolverine part. She fucking nailed it with awesome soundtrack. Children of the Atom forever.

I've been going through your videos -- just found you on the youtubes -- and I want to say how much I respect your voice and your passion. It's a breath of fresh air and it's badass.
Thank you so much for doing this. I didn’t have comic book stores near me when I was a kid so despite my love for everything fantasy and superhero, I could never foster it. I could only watch the cartoons of x-men in the 90s and then the movies. This was always my favorite comic story and now I can finally learn all of the history and backstory! Keep being awesome!
Comic Book Girl 19 This is an amazing documentary series. I truly hope to see you do more of these because 1) you are incredible at this. 2) I haven't seen many girls do comic videos and I would love to see more. 3) Your energy is incredible and pulls you into the story and its themes. 4) you have a hilarious side kick robot 5) your incredibly knowledgeable about the comic universe. Please continue these amazing videos.
Robot sucks.
She’s not gonna let you hit
The sheer amount of work put into this video! I know I'm here 8 years late, but this was fantastic! Best part, I can watch part 2 right away :D
I've always thought the success of the "All New, All Different" X-Men was due to the resonance a multicultural, multi-racial team has with the "world that fears and hates them" part of the X-Men tagline. There's a dissonance between the X-Men's primary theme and a group of white kids who could all pass as average people.
YESSSS!!! This is why I love you, CBG19 (and team)!
What an educational, entertaining, well-produced, well-researched video!
I loved all the little animations, pictures from the original comics, and your little jokes with Robot. I have always loved the X-Men, but like many people I mostly know them from the TV shows and movies. (There's just too many comics to catch up...) This video was GREAT.
I just want to add that usually, when I'm watching RUclips videos, I hit play and then do other stuff at the same time (games, food, work, etc). But I actually sat through the entire hour of this video glued to the screen. Please know that your work is VALUABLE and greatly APPRECIATED. Thank you!!!
okashi10 LOL< thanks okashi10. Happy to hear we could help you overcome your ADD. :)
comicbookgirl19 Do you find George RR Martin attractive?
comicbookgirl19 Just playing devils advocate for a tick....You talk about human's fear of mutants being this totally bigoted perspective...and in this real world of ours that generally holds, however, in the Marvel Multiverse, Mutants are a threat to the well being of the general public....a homosexual isn't likely to lose concentration...have...say a midlife crisis...and whoopsie...Storm just obliterated the planet because she was in a grumpy mood...which if I'm not mistaken is a reality for her...this is why Xavier always does those shady moves, like putting mental blocks inside of Jean Greys mind, to prevent full access to her potentially devastating powers. He acknolwadges that some mutants have powers, that if brought to light of public scrutiny, would set his peaceful coexistence efforts back....at least a decade or two. He puts the wellfare for the mutant population ahead of the individuals right to free will. Which when you get down to it is the basis for the argument FOR mutant oppression. Again I am playing devils advocate but, I think it's important to address these issues from every angle. I belive the symbolism in mutant oppression is more profound that that of drawing parallels between it and racism, or other civil rights issues. I think you could think of the artsy misfit kids that never seem to fit into anyone peer group in highschool. The ones who...while exploring different subcultures and identity roles...don't manage to find a neat little box to place themselves within. I didn't know if if I was punk, goth, or a hippy....I just knew I liked a lot of music and liked to dress flamboyantly (I'm straight...not that it matters...just wanted to be clear on the term flamboyant)...a group of friends and I...visual artists, poets, like myself, and musicians formed a school club after one of our numbers commited suicide...two ore followed her that year and it wasn't long before trailer park mothers with their behive-1970's hair, were having meetings about us...and dragging the teacher that helped me organize our meetings and performances in for questioning (even accusing her of cheating on her husband...with another teacher on school grounds...all to try to shut us down...so I made a ton of friends of Xavier T-shirts wth the X-Men logo and that is what I mean about X-Men being about more than just bigotry and ignorance...while still examining what a threat seems like to a white power nut....to a skinhead...a non-white....non-Christian...non-straight, person...is just as dangerous as the Scarlet Witch on her worst day of pathological instability....really wonder what your thoughts are on these comments...so, assuming I haven't already lost you to whimsy...thank for reading and I look forward to your opinion.
Whoa. 57 lines and totally unrelated to my original post or CBG19's reply...
Black Widow If nobody cares about my original post, I wish they wouldn't comment on it, rather than just leeching on it for attention since CBG19 actually replied to me. But alas, here we are.
The x-men are my all time favorite super heroes ever and I'm still waiting to see them done justice on the big screen. Storm is my all time favorite character and she deserves better.
Rogue and Gambit more than any other characters deserve justice on the big screen. Rogue didn't get it in the original trilogy and obviously Gambit hasn't gotten his due.
Renlys Other Lover oh gosh STORM is my fave too like omgg she deserves better yes
Renlys Other Lover I'd like to see a better Cyclops, mardsen and tye did a good, just wasnt developed as the leader
Sebastian Gonzales I remember when I first saw X-Men as a child and getting a light up Cyclops toy he was the best. He's always getting the shaft on the big screen though...

now people, this is the way , to tell the xmen story .. I fucking love you comic book girl 19
I rewatch all these videos every few months. 😁👍
That background part in the beginning just about what was going on in American history was really well done. Honestly had me in shedding tears, just had the hair on the back of my neck tingling. Thanks :)
Just discovered your documentary while wasting away another boring work day. You truly do a great job with your subject and you nail it perfectly. Comic book girl you make us nerds proud and I truly mean that. You hit on the undertones that have been there since the beginning!! I am watching part two today.
I love your enthusiasm. The way you tell a story kept me watching. Keep it up can't wait to see what's next.
Out of all of the comic stories, X-Men is also my favorite and the one I most relate to.
Mind = Absolutely fucking blown.....
+Rooster Gentry We are very happy to hear. :)
Why everything she said in relation to the civil rights and the X-men is wrong. It has to do with liberty vs security. Nothing to do with being gay or being black.
Just the worst.
+darkjester434 the power of hindsight. that's what it boils down to but in the moment...
wtf? X-Men literally mirrors the civil rights movement and was made in the 60's. Don't be stupid.
It had everything to do with those 2 things: the writers have stated as much... what are you on about?
wow....reading thru some of these comments here...some of you guys are negative as fuck! Id like to see yall try ur hand at what this chick is doing....I wouldnt consider myself a huge fan of comics...but she has actually ignited my interest...and has explained a lot of concepts i didnt quite understand in the movies. So what if shes not 100% accurate? Art is subjective...n though I might not be able to quote dates n comic issues...Hats off to CBG19 for making it relatable n interesting to the rest of us who are not consumed by escaping into an alternate reality (though this one shes painting is hella awesome). Books...movies...opinions...never the exact same viewpoint....I admire the passion this was made with...n the intention to clarify n condense a ton of info into one of the best youtube vids Ive ever seen. Keep it up Team CBG19
"So what if she's not 100% accurate?" Are you not familiar with the concept of nerds, sweetheart? lol
Recently came across your videos again and I forgot how much I loved your work.
So glad I found your channel again.
I came here to wash away the dirt that is Xmen Apocalypse.
I'm feeling ya brother
lol..... Me Too
same
Damn... why is this movie so mixed...?
Yeah
Damn, sorry I took so long to watch it, I hold the X-Men so dear I was afraid to watch it. You did a good job.
Why were you afraid to watch it Quintin?
I don't know, I just wanted it to be perfect in my mind. I was hoping I'd learn a lil' bit, reaffirm some things I'd known, and just enjoy watching you kill it..... But if you didn't I would have been highly disappointed, (Like a shitty RRM fan) despite knowing your hard work and resolve on this matter. Didn't think it was fair of me to hold that over your head. So I didn't watch it. I watched everything else you put out and acted like it didn't exist. But one day I said "FUCK IT" and watched it, and I was amazed. You hit all the dots and then some. My buddy, who never watches your show loved it. So basically I was afraid to watch it because I'm an asshole.
+Comic Book Girl 19 hi love your videos and your robot! are you are gonna do the 80s, 90s and 00s era later on?
LOL!
This video gave me chills. Made me remember why I originally started loving and drawing comics! Awesome work!
Seeing stuff like this reminds me to get off my lazy ass and create something worthwhile out of love. Amazing work.
JUST DO IT!
Yeah, that's it...do something worthwhile like making a video about the history of fictional characters that will do shit for the world...SOOO worthwhile...this video might cure cancer or eliminate hunger and poverty...fucking moron
TheMaximvs these videos DO serve a function, and so what if she's not curing cancer, she's a comic lover who took the time to explain the convoluted history of these characters to people that only know the movie versions of these characters. There is so much history behind them that the films can't possibly go into.
TheMaximvs the whole point of this video is that THE FICTIONAL PROPERTY OF THE X-MEN HAS DONE SHIT FOR THE WORLD! The entire goal of their story, aside from giving great entertainment and storyline is to enlighten readers on the evils of prejudice and bigotry, which is so very present in this world today as it was then. The devoted fans of the X-Men should be more likely recognize these evils when they see them in the world and identify them and understand the right thing to do. And this girl here understands that very well and is expressing that in this video with great enthusiasm and clarity, which maybe you just didn't watch, or didn't get. So I'm not sure why you're even here, bro.
billny33 some folks just are born being jerks lol
First of all, I just found this and it’s fantastic. History, comics lore, and a summary of all the old comics I don’t feel like dredging through. Second of all, the x men have stayed surprisingly relevant since the 60s which is great for the characters but probably not a good thing for society
This is better than actual x-men movies honestly. Thank you comic book 19 for introducing the real X-Men.
Epic indeed, you guys did an amazing job, this is very entertaining and informative, its also super educational on modern American history and social issues, fantastic job, my hats off to the entire crew.
I recently started reading comic books again and decided to start with the original 1963 X-men and work my way through the books in the order they were printed. The stuff from the 60s is so damn cheesy but I try and pay attention to when it was printed and associate it with what was going on in the world at the time. I stumbled across this video and wanted to applaud you, well made!
I started reading X-Men again during the pandemic. I read it during the 90s, but this time I went back to 1963. This video was so well done. Glad I came across it.
I love you
3 years later and I finally found a video to help me better understand my favorite marvel characters and to expand my knowledge of them. Thank you!!!
Just got done watching this and you have totally convinced me to read this. Thank you so much.
While I hugely respect all the effort you put into this very eloquent, cohesive and well-edited video, the fact that we NEED these explanations to understand comic book continuity is also the reason why I will NEVER start reading super hero comics. 60 years of continuity with a bajillion retcons, crossovers and event comics are just too much. Good stories need to end. Yet they just keep piling and piling everything on top of each other until it collapses under its own weight. I can't get into this. But I WILL keep watching these videos. :)
SilverAnicore Everyone thinks that at the beginning, but it gets easier) You can always use Marvel Wiki and other sources if you want to just know whos who and what happened. Comics are like a never ending tv series))) And its awesome
SilverAnicore Well it might be a bit easier come this fall post secret wars. It depends on how well they condense and if they retell origins afterwards. If they do then that'll be the new baseline to start from. And with Dc they've already done that with the new 52 and previous crises so if you're looking for something with less continuity to sift though that could be an option for you.
SilverAnicore That's why I liked New 52. It said fuck everything, start over. Some of it was good, some bad, but it was nice just being able to sink in.
Personnally I can't understand this mentality. When I got into comics I was immediately blown away by the rich history. Characters had decades worth of adventures (with beginnings and endings) behind them. One book made you care for characters appearing in another book which lead you to discover another great book and so on. If something was bad, you just ignored it and discovered a dozen other great things.
Videos such as these and the internet in general should not make continuity a big issue anymore.
SilverAnicore i thought the same but i really wanted to read xmen comics so i started from the 80s and then the 60s, i have a general view but to this day i've havent fishined them yet
Still love this series. Thank you so much for it. I wish there was something like this for every major comic group.
I'm glad you went into the politics of these comics.
This may be my opinion, but I've never liked the cat version of Beast. His original blue design had enough abnormality to it that he looked nonhuman but he still had a kind, welcoming face that matched his personality. Cat Beat's face always looked angry and bitter to me and that really turned me off to the whole design.
Im a marvel fan .it started in 1988
What a fantastic piece of content. 1 hour and I didn't skip or pause once unless I was grabbing a new beer. Kudos!
The job you have done with this is just perfect!! thanks for this masterpiece.
I love the X-Men so much this made me cry tears of joy

My only complaint I have is that the music is a bit too loud in some parts. Makes it harder to hear her in some moments.
But overall. This is fucking phenomenal.
I agree.
keith jones they work for fox
Ikr.
Having started to read the original comics I feel like this overview kinda skips over the fact that a lot of what she was talking about as far as the minority allegory would come a little later. Most of the original problems where mutants that themselves decided they were better than anyone else, and a lot of people loved the X-men after they beaten Magneto the first time. And Magneto didn't really have his backstory yet. It would be only after the Sentinels were revealed that the idea of human enemies would start changing the ideas of the X-men. And I think Charles and Magneto being allegories is a bit of a stretch at this time.
Silver M21 you’re correct that it’s a stretch in the beginning but Stan Lee still claims it was supposed to be an allegory... To be honest, I don’t think his stories in this book were anywhere near as good as his work in Fantastic Four or Spider-Man, but his issues were better than most of the Roy Thomas and other issues of the Silver Age X-men era. To me, it didn’t get really good until Giant-Size #1. The best thing you could say about Lee and Kirby’s run is they created so many classic characters. It wouldn’t be until later that they were written very well.
After giant sized x-men it got a lot better

Love the video, would be better if the music wasn't competing with your voice.
I would actually say it was complementing her voice.
did you watch the video. i didn't, I listened to it while I did other things, when you can't see her lips moving,you realize that most of the time throughout the video the music and her voice are almost the same volume, which means they are competing. the music does not share her timber or vocal range and therefore does not compliment.
Had the same thought.
***** too bad it's not funny, even for a 15-20 second bit, let alone the whole video.
if its her opinion that it does complement her voice then whats it to you to tell him differently, its his opinion people interprets things differently and your view isnt always the right view, you act like a douche bag to almost everyone that replied to your comment, being a smart ass and condescending is no way to act to people specially thoughs who where looking for a nice discussion and to synthesis. also manumitier was just trying to add some comedic affect to the situation and you again act like a rude piece of shit, but im not gonna get to worked up about it i know sooner or later you will forget that you are not behind your keyboard and say the wrong thing to the wrong person, and hopefully realize that the way we talk to one another actually has affect on our day to day life. your opinion isnt always others and there is no need to break it down to a science just to try and prove that your correct, as i said people perceive things differently being a douche doesnt change a thing.
Behind the scene, the idea of mutants having been born with there powers came up when Stan Lee ran out of ideas for more original ways of getting super powers. There's like so many ways how people get there hands on radiations or other crap. So basically Stan Lee was lazy, but whatever works.
that man was nothing lazy, just pure genius and served his country.
Awesome to watch this in 2024 right before X-Men 97 S1 final, thank you Comic Book Girl 19 / Danika XIX !
A little off on Malcolm Xs views, but it's all good lol. His were the same as MLK views, he just advocated for going about getting there differently. Both wanted equality though
James Dobson their factions were coming together when MLK was killed. Civil rights would of looked a lot different with these two together. I'm usually not one for allegory but I guess I'm growing old and sentimental.
That 60s intro hit hard bro 😂
Really really great video! You had me paying attention from start to finish and the historical frame you included was very interesting and informative! I've been researching a lot about the X-men recently and this video talked about things I had never heard of. Thanks!
This was very well made. I loved it. The writing, historical parallels, your delivery, it all worked wonderfully. I didnt intend to watch it all but I did and Im going to watch the others also.
X-Men>Avengers
All day, everyday, twice on Sunday and one night in Vegas
Lol Avengers do have a god and a hulk. But yeah X men are intense. Reading Dawn of X?
@@allieversaid I mean yeah, they’ve got Thor and Hulk, but the X-Men have Storm and Colossus, Thor has said Storm is almost his equal, and Colossus has gone head-to-head with the Juggernaut
CBG19, I just want to say that I still watch this series. Thank you so much.
I really like the hard work and dedication you put into this video!
1963 also bore us spider-man, I know this video isn't about him but a shout out would've been fun.

I KNOW! Buying those 94 fleet ultra cards at the Indy ComicCon was the best decision I've made in a while. It's crazy how looking at those images can immediately take you back!

Holy cow, this is one good video explaining the history of X-MEN
I know!!!!! Disney needs to contact her, and allow her to oversee a series of movies that introduce each X Men
I’m thinking the same thing! This is so excellently done!
As an avid X-Men fan this video was amazing. Great history, information, and editing. Absolutely loved this! Would recommend this to any newcomer who needs a fast crash course on the X-Men. Truly a legendary comic franchise! The best imo.
Still the best x men documentary ever. who's watching these vids in 2020?
Just discovered this. It's a nice companion piece for Chris Claremont's X-Men documentary.
Hey... Im subscribing... I ❤ you! I've loved x-men my whole life!! I really enjoy your combo of telling the stories in your words but showing the art. I can't wait to finish the series hun! You're super dope! Keep it up!
I am actually old enough to have had and read all the original X-Men, the reprints, and the new team. I think you did an X-cellent job on this in-depth look into my favorite mutants. Claremont and Byrne were my favorite creative team. I can't wait to see your take on their run.
This is the most amazing video ever made like it. All the depth and details from history. I hate that it took us all over 3 years to find this.
This was one of the BEST history videos ive seen. I CANNOT wait until you do Vol.2.
This video is just perfect. Better than expected.
This is amazing. Thank you for putting this together.
+woff woff SO AWESOME!
This video is a piece of nerd art. Thanks for putting this together, I enjoyed every minuet of it.
OMG - I highly admire the way you convey and relate the real hardcore story of Marvel's X-Men to the social-political movements. Makes me tear out of joy. You inspire me. Thank you much for sharing
I enjoyed this video... But I really dislike when people (usually white) boil down Malcolm X to media stereotypes like "he hated white people." Malcolm and Martin had a lot more in common then not. His last year involved him going to places like Oxford letting everyone know the horrible conditions of blacks in America. Telling ALL folks that they need to fight for freedom.
This video should be shown in every high school across our nation. Very well done!!!
This is a great video and painful reminder of how good Marvel was before Disney.
Comic Book Girl 19, I appreciate you understanding the gravity of what has been going on in this country for only a few short decades. I feel the same way you do. I grew up in the 80's being born in 1976 and fortunately didn't have to go through the horrors of what people from a older generation had to go through. it was still tough having to deal with some racism being a African American man, but fortunately I lived up north in New York in my younger years as a child. I hope more people that are "millenials" will acknowledge how the country was just a few decades ago and appreciate what they have now, although there is still plenty of work to still be done. Thanks
The background music is WAY to fucking loud....
yes, kind of ruined it
I thought the same,
Constructive criticism: It sounds good in my headphones, but imagine on my stereo it'd be waking people up and I wouldn't watch at at night. Love the video though! :)
it drew me in, then again im watching through a proper monitor and full range speakers. the low freq's rumble my arse
The Giant-Size X-Men was my re-introduction to the world of superhero comics as an adult. A friend gave me a back copy in 1981 when I was in college, and I was hooked. Afterwards I ate up the X-Men, New Mutants, Avengers and New Teen Titans for several years. Most Saturday afternoons you'd see me in the Student Union Cafe, reading old and new issues over coffee, just like the girl in the A-Ha video "Take On Me". Sadly, no one pulled me into the comics, though!
The more I hear about the awesome x-men comic lore, the more pissed off I get at the X-Men live action movies (except Deadpool, they nailed him)
Please make captions available!!!!! My partner is deaf and was trying to share this with him so he can fall in love with X-men with me, but he can’t hear it 😞
This is the definitive xmen documentary
one thing people forget is that after malcolm x went to mecca he calmed down a lot, and a lot of the things that were attributed to malcolm x were not his doing.
+naturalistmind EXACTLY! The popular/group think media has let people believe otherwise. If you learn about him, independently, you learn that he had every reason to feel how he felt because the times and the actions of many "non-mutants" validated his resentments and even still, towards the end of his life he saw another path
DANG! THIS was SO MUCH FUN watching or listening while I worked today!!!!
Holy crap, this was exceedingly well-created! Subbed immediately.
Not necessarily into comics, but loved this documentary. Very interesting, X-Men characters are great. I only watched the tv series in the late 80's early 90's. Malcom X and Dr.King info...love it
