Doom having set up his own attack that day and inadvertently causing a good chunk of 9/11 conspiracy theories is a pretty trollsy idea so it’s my new headcanon.
Realistically, I don't see how that would benefit Doom. He's not usually portrayed as someone who kills just to kill, or kills to attempt to make a statement. Unless it immediately benefits him, don't think he would care that much. He just wants power and to rule the world. He listened to Tears for Fears one time and knew what he wanted in life lol. But jokes aside he is a character who is mostly opposed to pointless violence. But he finds heroes quite irksome and usually just can't help but get into some kind of conflict with them
Obviously. They can literally stop and manipulate time. Dr. Strange probably watched the whole thing happen outside his sanctum while sipping cocoa in his slippers.
Doom moarning for the victims just doesn't make sense. If anyone, Kingpin would be the most devastated as he loves his city, and maybe Magneto could show some empathy, but I just can't see Doom care anyhow
Also, there's one screwed up thing that people forget to mention about this tribute: after this comic, Osama bin Laden never appeared again and the marvel wiki lists him as alive, which means that in the marvel universe, he canonically got away with it.
Iron Man would have come down with the fist of white American colonial nationalism on Bin Laden in like 12 hours of the event if 9/11 had happened in Marvel.
Your right Americans really talk about 9/11 like it was the biggest loss of human life ever. There were tsunamis in 2004 that killed over 250,000 people across Asia bit it is not brought up all the time like 9/11

@@kwayneboy1524 it's a topical comic, like spider-man meeting obama. marvel universe has sliding timescale, so at the start they lived in the 60s, currently fantastic four was created around 15 years ago. if tony stark said "it's 1973" in 1973, the current version is he said "it's 200X". the 9/11 issue is fully topical and interrupts the main story, nobody ever spoke about its canonicity so even if it was canon it's been retconned out of existence.
I can appreciate the sentiment of the people behind this comic, but making it happen in marvel or dc doesn’t make sense. I think the comic would’ve worked better had it been through the perspective of a child seeing the emergency responders and volunteers as the marvel heroes. You could also explore the idea of 9/11 being prevented by the superheroes what would that world look like? would everything be better or would there be a worse event that takes place? There are ways to have heroes be relatable to victims of 9/11 without having to make 9/11 a thing.
The Boys comic does explore that, the Seven were successful in keeping the twin towers standing (at the loss of 3 of it's members) but they caused the plane to destroy the Brooklyn bridge instead.
It was too soon to do something in such poor taste as have the heroes prevent the disaster. Also, just the act of changing real history in the comics would require a LOT of base level world building in every single comic going forward, because the superhero universe would NOT be like our universe anymore, not unlike the way the ongoing Snap consequences are awkwardly depicted in the few Marvel Movie that tried to deal with them. Also note that hero science and magic stuff is never adopted by the general public, because that ALSO requires tons of worldbuilding that the comic writers were not willing to maintain for decades. Look specifically at OG animated Transformers Season 3. In the start of this season, there is a 20 YEAR forward time jump, to the far future (at that time) of 2005 (when the animated movie is also set). This changes the entire show, for the worse, it turns out, as the Transformers technology is adopted by society, and everyone has hoverboards and hovercars, and all the buildings look like Blade Runner. Effectively this means that most episodes CANNOT happen on Earth anymore, because of the Scifi story writing that would have to go into every Earth episode, because now Earth society itself is effectively an alien world, and, of course, this would have to be ret-conned out anyway, since we got to 2005, and we had none of the cool stuff the series had the public having. Clearly Season 3 had some VERY lazy writing, in actually thinking that every existing building would be replaced in 20 years, when that type of thing has never happened in Earth history, even when building tech changed in fundamental ways, like with the introduction of metals as building materials, replacing stone.
DC has a much stranger approach to 9/11 where it only exists if needs to motivate a character. Simon Baz has an origin linked to 9/11, to my knowledge batman has never mentioned it
@@tylerbain5727the thing is, Superman doesn’t live in New York and can’t always save everyone, either he’s saving Lois, fighting some strong alien, saving people from a natural disaster. My point is he can’t always save everyone. The difference is that in marvel everyone lives in New York pretty much, so someone could’ve definitely stopped it.
That's why "cancer-plots" have never really worked for me in the comics I mean these guys can travel to another galaxies dimensions and micro-worlds and you REALLY telling me they CAN'T FIX A BROKEN SPINE? Or Reed Richards who (despite all of the above) cannonically has thousands of ideas how to destroy the World and cloned Thor (as well as travelled to the afterlife) CAN'T FIND A WAY TO CURE CANCER? ARE YOU EVEN SERIOUS?
The only way I can imagine 9/11 happening in a superheroes' world is if there's an event that occupied all heroes capable of preventing the disaster, and likewise villains that may care about it, in a separate dimension such as Battle World. Imagine after the event all the characters return to Earth just to find out what happened when they were gone.
This reminds me of a question I asked years ago, what percentage of Humanity are Mutants? Like I think one story said in about 20 years Mutants will outnumber Humanity. So what is it, 1 in 50? 1 in a 1000?
@ according to house of x the highest number they reached was 17,508,236, this was at some points in the 2000s so let’s say it was 2005 and back then we were 6,586,970,132 (assuming that their universe has same population numbers as us), they would equal 0.27% of our population (they keep getting gen*cided so this number kinda means nothing)
@@NoOne-lc8qj I also assume the number can get tricky since a lot of superpowerd people are just assumed to be Mutants. Spider-Man has been accused of being a Mutant a few times and Deadpool at least pretends he's one. Franklin Richards changed his DNA to match theirs, but he wasn't one originally.
Your comment reminds me of how around the same time Grant Morrison was working on X-Men and he had two giant Sentinels devastate the island of Genosha which was full of sixteen million mutants at the time.
That has been one of the problems with Marvel choosing to have their universe set on 'Modern Day' earth. Then, you have to account for changes in the real world that could affect the Supers. The best they could do was acknowledge that it happened, then go back to telling their stories, knowing that if supers really existed, they would have stopped it in any of a number of ways (or gone back to fix it after the fact if necessary).
Actually in general, one of the most awkward things in fiction when dealing with alternate history of any kind that takes place in the same world as ours. Is that they tend to be weird about ANY historical tragedy Like I am serious. In the Percy Jacksons series, the way they handled WW2 was one of the worst things that Riordan did, in that Hitler is canonically a demi-god son of Hades, and the reason the greek gods had to get involved and they gave the allies and axis magic and stuff Like they tend to get odd, and weird
@@vardiganxpl1698 I think that's why a lot of series have the superpowerd stuff be a secret, or have them only deal with a specific thing. That way they can write around any historical events happening. What were the Jujutsu Sorcerers doing during World War 2? The most devastating conflict in human history? Well they were dealing with Cursed Spirits. I imagine all that Death and Negative Energy culminated in some crazy Cursed Spirits. ESPECIALLY after the bombs dropped.
@@bulletxwound3559 It’s something they introduce immediately in the first book when they’re explaining to Percy why The Big Three don’t have kids anymore. They said “Yeah, literally every time there were a bunch of those kids running around, mass destruction and war follows. After WW2, they just agreed to stop.”
@@superiorcomicfan Captain america is still frozen, ancient one protects against mystical threats, Captain marvel was off world, the fantastic 4 movie coming up takes place in another universe, ant-man probably couldn't do anything at that current time
The 9/11 issue is great tribute( the supervillains crying makes no real sense though)but you really have to suspend your disbelief for it to work which is a problem when you want to add relevant topics or real world events into your fictional story without creating holes in your stories world building.
This is why incorporating too much from the real world in superhero comics doesn’t make sense. DC generally avoids this, but Marvel tries to have its stories fit in our world.
@kwayneboy1524 he means that if something like say a massive flood ravages the state of Florida and all we have is first responders while marvel has literal gods and monsters that can make short work of said flood, why have the heroes stand around when they could have prevented the flooding in the first place
@@kiwilord9628 There's also the trope, "why doesn't Reed Richards cure cancer?" It's another head-scratcher that comes up when you have superhero comics taking place in the "real world". Even in the MCU we see Tony Stark invent limitless clean energy and figure out time travel in a single night, but the world still has mundane problems like cancer, even though the technology and magic that these characters have access to should be able to solve most real world problems.
@@jayb8934This is why having modern day problems in comics has never really made much sense. I remember the infamous image of Jon Kent protesting climate change acting like he doesnt live in a world filled with people with ice powers or those who could straight up reality warp away pollution or push the sun away by a centimeter or something. Gun control? Bruh why is a superhero complaining about people having guns for self defense in worlds where things like Doomsday and Ultron exist? What about random mutant #253 who can just randomly awaken his powers one day and melt a whole town unintentionally? This doesn't even go into the problem of what would humanity do if a supe went rogue? There's a lot more problems than joe schmoe thinking his has 2nd amendment rights. Then there's the ones that try to tackle religious discrimination, in a world where Hercules, Thor, Odin and Ares can all pop up to fight other ancient mythological deities in downtown New York or the freaking Devil himself can be walking around town. If anything that would lead to a religious crisis rather than discrimination.
To me the only thing that was weird about it. Was that Doctor Doom cried. I mean why on earth would Doom ever care about something like 9/11. Also I'd say having 9/11 happen in the dc universe makes no sense at all. Your saying Superman wouldn't have been aware and couldn't have done anything.
He is still human in the end, even being Doom. Not to mention he himself runs a country. It doesn’t make the most sense but this comic isn’t really about what makes sense for the Marvel universe, rather addressing the tragedy which occurred
@@sopebarrofficial3557Nah man, the excuses you gave just don't work. He's a human who doesn't care, and have been shown to not care dozens of times, like the video suggests. He doesn't even care when it is in Latveria. They should just have kept him away for this one. Magneto kinda works, he's a bit more sympathetic, but Doom? It's like drawing bin laden crying. He would have done it himself and on a much larger scale, like he already did multiple times.
Selfish of Magneto being on Ground Zero, and not helping the first responders by using his powers to clear the rubble. There could have been mutants trapped! And, I've heard that Juggernaut has knocked down one of the towers in a comic, don't know which one.
We could say that all the heroes tried to stop the planes but the TVA warned them that it was a cannon event and they had to let it pass. the villains crying? let's just say they weren't real villains, they were actors who were there dancing and taking photos with the tourists for money.
@@DavidMartinez-ce3lp"Miles, I have to sleep with your mother." "What the f- why?!" "It's a canon event, bro." "There's no way in hell that's a canon event." "Where do you think your Latino heritage comes from, Miles?"
you know how when a wrestler dies in WWE or some tragic event happens they have all the wrestlers standing together paying their respect before the show begins? this what these comics felt like. It made the conflict between the heroes and villains look like kayfabe. It isn't real, nobody is really harmed or dead, it was all just a show.
I'm surprised it took everyone so long to talk about his ridiculous this story is... or maybe, it was so ridiculous that nobody even cared to talk about it.
It was meant to help deal with the current situation mate and honestly does anybody really care if it's not accurate to their world? It doesn't have to make sense
In my opinion, the writers employed this technique to demonstrate that not all heroes originate from comic books. They paid tribute to those who valiantly fought but ultimately did not return. While I understand your point that they possessed the ability to prevent the towers from collapsing, their failure to do so remains an enigma. However, this could have been a deliberate choice by the writers to express their profound grief while simultaneously uplifting the individuals and city affected by this tragic event.
This is a great example of why writer should just not touch these topics like bruh wdym 9/11 is canon event and im sorry but who even cares about 9/11 that much in the marvel universe they deal with this stuff daily also the fact that there are still terrorism is a sign of failure in superheroes more than anything like supervillians are just evil people but terroirst habe actual reasons to do what they do
So are you telling me that the planes passed through countless defense systems, Stark Tower and The Baxter Building, at least ONE Shield Helicarrier, and multiple heros on patrol??? Hell nah man its a inside job.
As a Muslim i know the impacts of 9/11 so I can relate the aftermath And goddamn you have an obvious point and the whole time i was like yes like what is going on 😂
PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord! Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it! I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died. God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him. Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. I have had times where I was thinking about Holy Bible quotes and have stumbled across them flipping through The Holy Bible at random the same/next day. God is here for you if you let Him guide you. The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil". LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.", "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." and, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
While it doesn't make sense with in the narrative of a comic book world full of superheroes for a terrorist attack of this magnitud to happen, unless there was a conspiracy just as massive, that wasn't the point of this issue of The Amazing Spider-Man, it was meant to send a message it was Marvel's way to talk to their readers and let them know "there are real heroes doing all they can and we will move on from this, we can still live on", they even used 9/11 other times, like in Spider-Man Life Story, Peter ages with the pass of time like any normal person would, and he is an old man when 9/11 happens and actually stop being Spider-Man for years at that point, but he put on a makeshift mask and help getting people out the rubble; Also it needed to be acknowlaged by Marvel in some way, the artist and writters could just keep using the twin towers like nothing happen (in the real that is), this is why DC has an advanted with places that don't like Metropolis and Gotham, they can do what ever they want, I mean Marvel can too, but they have to stick to real world events and DC doesn't; so the 9/11 in Marvel was necessary to acknowlage, I don't if DC did something similar though.
Bro did you literally watch any marvel movie, read any marvel comic, or watch any marvel show, like at all? Normal people were trying to fight the hulk, normal people were trying to fight captain america, normal people were trying to fight spiderman, they don't care if they're supes, they will try to fight them
@VegetaandGoku_Gaming you are talking about marvel normal people. Not real normal people. That's the point of the fucking video. Bringing a real event to the marvel world doesn't work. If there were Sups in the real world USA would be an unstoppable empire and rule the entire planet.
he doesnt do that in the comics, but yes he has a lot of other powers to prevent or repair the thing. I mean, Magneto was there, and he just saw a building made of metal falls...
5:21 Thoroughly unrelated to the video overall, but one of the best parts about Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is how goddamned BRUTAL the combat is. Like Kraven *definitely* lost a henchman there, whether she survived that crushed windpipe or not.
And given the number of villains, would collapsing 2 towers be just another Thursday? Like destruction happens so often this wouldn't be anything new or shocking
It can be argued that it was a lot more shocking to them for regular humans to have done it using hijacked airliners rather than some intergalactic threat or supervillain
@@doodledangernoodle2517ww1 and ww2 I’m pretty sure have canonically happened in the marvel universe so I don’t see how 9/11 would be seen as extremely different considering how messed up humanity got during ww2
That one point about superheroes being largely restricted to serving under a very specific umbrella of heroism for the sake of maintaining the status quo has always been a rather curious observation to me. It's something that I'd be genuinely interested in seeing explored and deconstructed further within the genre in the near future. Seeing superheroes be allowed to explore and apply their unique abilities to issues lying outside the usual ballpark offered to them by the "powers-that-be" has potential for some really interesting discussions.
The fact that dr doom legit says "what kind of monster would do such a thing?" Or something along those lines and cries is so out of character if anything he's be mad he didn't think of doing it first 💀
Yeah, as other people have pointed out the only one that would really make sense to be devastated is Kingpin. I’m trying to get maybe Magneto being empathetic, but I honestly can’t see that either as he would probably just view it as another example of humans being fucked up to further justify his crusade.
Reminded of a comic Ex Machina where the main character is able to stop the second tower falling but has angst for “missing the first plane”. It was a nice compromise
To be honest on a world like marvel 9/11 would be prevented of ever happened, on the other hand the stanford incident works better as marvel's 9/11, and in mcu's case the battle of new york. On the comics of the boys it's pretty well done how 9/11 is an important plot point by homelander's fault when he left everyone died the washigton bridge ended up destroyed instead
I love how this is a mix of using comic logic on real-world events. It doesn't make sense in the comics they managed to carry out both plane attacks successfully on the Towers, but at the same time, it would have been insane for it to play out differently in the comics. I think they would have gotten a crazy amount of backlash if they were just like, "Well, Spider-Man stepped in and stopped the second plane." or "The F4 stopped the whole thing from happening at all." while the world was still dealing with the actual reality of it.
This video feels pretty cringe, honestly. It’s almost like it’s missing the point of this comic. Its a commentary, not a literal depiction of what superheroes "should" have done. The comic reflects the writers’ feelings and the country’s collective grief at the time not an attempt to fit seamlessly into Marvel continuity. You kind of a touching on this at the beginning of the video doesn't negate the fact that it's just commentary. Yeah, it's a bit goofy choice seeing Doom cry but the purpose is to convey how the writers felt. Romita himself said that it was an artistic choice on his end. Sure, the heroes could stop 9/11 in-universe, but how much more cringe would it be if Spider-Man just stopped the second plane? That would trivialize a real tragedy even more, turning it into a power fantasy. This issue wasn’t about Marvel continuity it was about mourning and reflecting on something horrific in real life. Something that the writers were there for. Marvel officers were literally located in New York at this time so it adds a bit of extra reality to them. Trying to nitpick it as if it’s a regular comic story kind of misses the point.
Hey! HEY! What are you doing?! Comic book fans collectively agreed never to talk about this! It was a traumatic time, and even then we knew Doctor Doom wouldn't shed a tear for a bombing in New York! You fetuses born after 2002 think you can come in and break THE PACT? Be prepared for a nighttime visit from Joe Quesada wielding two Japanese tantos.
Out of Doom, Magneto, and Kingpin, only Kingpin makes sense. He’s sometimes been characterized to care about New York and it’s people (although, I wouldn’t say it’s consistent, but I like the idea so I’m gonna pretend it is). So, I could see him helping, but definitely not Doom or Magneto.
2:18 By the way, this is one of his best stories. It was the first comic book of spider e read, and even youg me was impressed by the quality of this. Very inspiring and emotional
When discussed 9/11, one thing that doesn't work for me is the Marvel Universe "sliding timeline," especially when it comes to the 616 timeline. Peter Parker has been Spider-Man for around 15 - 20 years. As of writing this comment, 9/11 happened 23 years ago, so Spider-Man wouldn't have been involved with the tragedy simply because how time works.
I can see Magneto being upset about it, as a holocaust survivor I don't think he likes any mass casualty event. As for trying to kill the population, that Magneto is super inconsistent. Magneto in the 60's would kill all humans, but post trial of Magneto, he vows not to kill humans anymore. Then, in the 90's when Moira McTaggart tries to wipe his memory, he freaks out and becomes evil again, but then becomes good again right after. In Morrison's New X-Men, Magneto also tries to destroy the human race, but that wasn't actually Magneto, it was Xorn disguised as Magneto. When he was back in the 2010's he was a good guy again, almost always on the x-men in some capactity. In the most recent Krakoa era, Magneto AGAIN vows to "kill no man" TLDR: Magneto does not support mass killings, he fought during AXE: JUDGMENT DAY to save the population of the planet. Currently, he is STILL on the X-Men. Edit: I also forgot to mention that as a jewish person and a mutant, he is adamantly against racism, which is unfortunately the lasting legacy of the war on terror, Magneto would fight for anyone being marginalized and attacked.

@@kwayneboy1524 it's a topical comic, like spider-man meeting obama. marvel universe has sliding timescale, so at the start they lived in the 60s, currently fantastic four was created around 15 years ago. if tony stark said "it's 1973" in 1973, the current version is he said "it's 200X". the 9/11 issue is fully topical and interrupts the main story, nobody ever spoke about its canonicity so even if it was canon it's been retconned out of existence.

@@ZoomToMalwareYeah just happened in a different timeline within the infinite multiverse
@@ZoomToMalwarearnt most of them topical like any story involving a Russian
I can appreciate the sentiment of the people behind this comic, but making it happen in marvel or dc doesn’t make sense. I think the comic would’ve worked better had it been through the perspective of a child seeing the emergency responders and volunteers as the marvel heroes. You could also explore the idea of 9/11 being prevented by the superheroes what would that world look like? would everything be better or would there be a worse event that takes place? There are ways to have heroes be relatable to victims of 9/11 without having to make 9/11 a thing.
I feel like exploring a world where it didn't happen would have been considered in poor taste at the time, but I love your other idea.
The Boys comic does explore that, the Seven were successful in keeping the twin towers standing (at the loss of 3 of it's members) but they caused the plane to destroy the Brooklyn bridge instead.
Superheroes stop the planes... and towers still fall down.
It was too soon to do something in such poor taste as have the heroes prevent the disaster. Also, just the act of changing real history in the comics would require a LOT of base level world building in every single comic going forward, because the superhero universe would NOT be like our universe anymore, not unlike the way the ongoing Snap consequences are awkwardly depicted in the few Marvel Movie that tried to deal with them. Also note that hero science and magic stuff is never adopted by the general public, because that ALSO requires tons of worldbuilding that the comic writers were not willing to maintain for decades. Look specifically at OG animated Transformers Season 3. In the start of this season, there is a 20 YEAR forward time jump, to the far future (at that time) of 2005 (when the animated movie is also set). This changes the entire show, for the worse, it turns out, as the Transformers technology is adopted by society, and everyone has hoverboards and hovercars, and all the buildings look like Blade Runner. Effectively this means that most episodes CANNOT happen on Earth anymore, because of the Scifi story writing that would have to go into every Earth episode, because now Earth society itself is effectively an alien world, and, of course, this would have to be ret-conned out anyway, since we got to 2005, and we had none of the cool stuff the series had the public having. Clearly Season 3 had some VERY lazy writing, in actually thinking that every existing building would be replaced in 20 years, when that type of thing has never happened in Earth history, even when building tech changed in fundamental ways, like with the introduction of metals as building materials, replacing stone.
DC has a much stranger approach to 9/11 where it only exists if needs to motivate a character. Simon Baz has an origin linked to 9/11, to my knowledge batman has never mentioned it
At least none of them live in NewYork.
Also, you'd think Superman would be able to hear everything going on in both planes. And idk. Catch them or something. Like he always does.
@@tylerbain5727the thing is, Superman doesn’t live in New York and can’t always save everyone, either he’s saving Lois, fighting some strong alien, saving people from a natural disaster. My point is he can’t always save everyone. The difference is that in marvel everyone lives in New York pretty much, so someone could’ve definitely stopped it.
@@anthonynieto5307 the actual thing is, this was Silver Age Superman
Just assume it’s the sliding timeline effect. As the farther we get from 9/11 the less likely the chance superhero’s were active? Idk
Magneto could've easily prevented the second plane at the very least
That's why "cancer-plots" have never really worked for me in the comics
I mean these guys can travel to another galaxies dimensions and micro-worlds and you REALLY telling me they CAN'T FIX A BROKEN SPINE?
Or Reed Richards who (despite all of the above) cannonically has thousands of ideas how to destroy the World and cloned Thor (as well as travelled to the afterlife) CAN'T FIND A WAY TO CURE CANCER?

The only way I can imagine 9/11 happening in a superheroes' world is if there's an event that occupied all heroes capable of preventing the disaster, and likewise villains that may care about it, in a separate dimension such as Battle World. Imagine after the event all the characters return to Earth just to find out what happened when they were gone.

Doom actually attacked New York with missiles after Nick Fury and the Avengers secretly infiltrated Latveria for an undercover black ops mission.
3:36 "were the towers full of mutants"😭😭😭😭
This reminds me of a question I asked years ago, what percentage of Humanity are Mutants? Like I think one story said in about 20 years Mutants will outnumber Humanity. So what is it, 1 in 50? 1 in a 1000?
@ according to house of x the highest number they reached was 17,508,236, this was at some points in the 2000s so let’s say it was 2005 and back then we were 6,586,970,132 (assuming that their universe has same population numbers as us), they would equal 0.27% of our population (they keep getting gen*cided so this number kinda means nothing)
@@NoOne-lc8qj I also assume the number can get tricky since a lot of superpowerd people are just assumed to be Mutants. Spider-Man has been accused of being a Mutant a few times and Deadpool at least pretends he's one. Franklin Richards changed his DNA to match theirs, but he wasn't one originally.
Every mutant working in the towers just so happened to call in sick the day of the attack
Your comment reminds me of how around the same time Grant Morrison was working on X-Men and he had two giant Sentinels devastate the island of Genosha which was full of sixteen million mutants at the time.
Not Juggernaut hanging around as if he didn't do a 9/11 in the 90s.
That has been one of the problems with Marvel choosing to have their universe set on 'Modern Day' earth. Then, you have to account for changes in the real world that could affect the Supers. The best they could do was acknowledge that it happened, then go back to telling their stories, knowing that if supers really existed, they would have stopped it in any of a number of ways (or gone back to fix it after the fact if necessary).
Actually in general, one of the most awkward things in fiction when dealing with alternate history of any kind that takes place in the same world as ours. Is that they tend to be weird about ANY historical tragedy
Like I am serious. In the Percy Jacksons series, the way they handled WW2 was one of the worst things that Riordan did, in that Hitler is canonically a demi-god son of Hades, and the reason the greek gods had to get involved and they gave the allies and axis magic and stuff
Like they tend to get odd, and weird
@@vardiganxpl1698 I think that's why a lot of series have the superpowerd stuff be a secret, or have them only deal with a specific thing. That way they can write around any historical events happening. What were the Jujutsu Sorcerers doing during World War 2? The most devastating conflict in human history? Well they were dealing with Cursed Spirits. I imagine all that Death and Negative Energy culminated in some crazy Cursed Spirits. ESPECIALLY after the bombs dropped.

@@kiwilord9628because it was their day off
@@kiwilord9628 There's also the trope, "why doesn't Reed Richards cure cancer?" It's another head-scratcher that comes up when you have superhero comics taking place in the "real world". Even in the MCU we see Tony Stark invent limitless clean energy and figure out time travel in a single night, but the world still has mundane problems like cancer, even though the technology and magic that these characters have access to should be able to solve most real world problems.
@@jayb8934This is why having modern day problems in comics has never really made much sense.
I remember the infamous image of Jon Kent protesting climate change acting like he doesnt live in a world filled with people with ice powers or those who could straight up reality warp away pollution or push the sun away by a centimeter or something.
Gun control? Bruh why is a superhero complaining about people having guns for self defense in worlds where things like Doomsday and Ultron exist? What about random mutant #253 who can just randomly awaken his powers one day and melt a whole town unintentionally? This doesn't even go into the problem of what would humanity do if a supe went rogue? There's a lot more problems than joe schmoe thinking his has 2nd amendment rights.
Then there's the ones that try to tackle religious discrimination, in a world where Hercules, Thor, Odin and Ares can all pop up to fight other ancient mythological deities in downtown New York or the freaking Devil himself can be walking around town. If anything that would lead to a religious crisis rather than discrimination.
im a firm believer this entire video was an excuse to post as many 9/11 memes as possible
Imagine JJJ accidentally blaming spiderman for it before the plane actually hits
"SPIDERMAN IS A MEN- **cut off to the news reporting 9/11**"
To me the only thing that was weird about it. Was that Doctor Doom cried. I mean why on earth would Doom ever care about something like 9/11.
Also I'd say having 9/11 happen in the dc universe makes no sense at all. Your saying Superman wouldn't have been aware and couldn't have done anything.
Doctor Doom almost blew up HIS OWN COUNTRY just to kill 4 dudes, and he's gonna care about american civilian casualties?
He is still human in the end, even being Doom. Not to mention he himself runs a country. It doesn’t make the most sense but this comic isn’t really about what makes sense for the Marvel universe, rather addressing the tragedy which occurred
Doom was crying because he was beaten to the punch
Doom cried because it wasn't the Baxter building.
@@sopebarrofficial3557Nah man, the excuses you gave just don't work. He's a human who doesn't care, and have been shown to not care dozens of times, like the video suggests. He doesn't even care when it is in Latveria. They should just have kept him away for this one. Magneto kinda works, he's a bit more sympathetic, but Doom? It's like drawing bin laden crying. He would have done it himself and on a much larger scale, like he already did multiple times.
Selfish of Magneto being on Ground Zero, and not helping the first responders by using his powers to clear the rubble. There could have been mutants trapped!

you know how when a wrestler dies in WWE or some tragic event happens they have all the wrestlers standing together paying their respect before the show begins? this what these comics felt like. It made the conflict between the heroes and villains look like kayfabe. It isn't real, nobody is really harmed or dead, it was all just a show.
Actually a pretty good point. Never thought about it like that. Your point is actually made stronger by the writers making Dr. Doom cry.

Remember getting this at bargain store warehouse. Dr Doom crying was peak comedy for me. Truly a piece of comic history
i like the Boys version of 9/11 rememberance where Homelander and the 7 prevented the twin towers from being destroyed
and still made it much worse.
Well not worse but still bad. They destroyed the Brooklyn Bridge and failed to save the plane but the death toll was reduced.
I'm surprised it took everyone so long to talk about his ridiculous this story is... or maybe, it was so ridiculous that nobody even cared to talk about it.
The comic was to help kids cope with the tragedy
It was meant to help deal with the current situation mate and honestly does anybody really care if it's not accurate to their world?
It doesn't have to make sense
Doom: ¿Quien hizo e'ta diablura?
In my opinion, the writers employed this technique to demonstrate that not all heroes originate from comic books. They paid tribute to those who valiantly fought but ultimately did not return. While I understand your point that they possessed the ability to prevent the towers from collapsing, their failure to do so remains an enigma. However, this could have been a deliberate choice by the writers to express their profound grief while simultaneously uplifting the individuals and city affected by this tragic event.
100%. Treating it like an incontinuity story is a bit silly imo. It's meta commentary for the real life people who were affected
It’s a cannon event dr strange informed them that they couldn’t change it or it will erase there entire reality
This is a great example of why writer should just not touch these topics like bruh wdym 9/11 is canon event and im sorry but who even cares about 9/11 that much in the marvel universe they deal with this stuff daily also the fact that there are still terrorism is a sign of failure in superheroes more than anything like supervillians are just evil people but terroirst habe actual reasons to do what they do

As a Muslim i know the impacts of 9/11 so I can relate the aftermath
And goddamn you have an obvious point and the whole time i was like yes like what is going on 😂
PLEASE, you, and EVERYONE, if you haven't already, embrace the One True Only God YHWH Jehovah, Only One Jesus Christ His Only Begotten Son and Lord and Savior of our souls and the Only One Holy Spirit. God is good. God is love. Jesus is Lord! Jesus IS coming. Your soul depends on it!
I have seen God act in my life. He saved my soul, changed my heart, changed my mind, helped people through me, took care of people in my life, people I hurt before I found God. God is the only reason I was able to reconcile with my dad before he died.
God worked through Jesus Christ to save our souls. Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins. Believe in your heart and confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and that God raised Him from the dead and you will be saved. Be baptized in The Holy Spirit, and if He wills, water as well. Repent of your sins, accept God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit into your heart, that Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, that all who believe on Him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth and The Life. No one comes to the Father Jehovah God but through Him.
Not long after I got saved I prayed to God for help understanding the Holy Bible, and that same day someone knocked on my door asking me if I wanted to understand the Bible. I have had times where I was thinking about Holy Bible quotes and have stumbled across them flipping through The Holy Bible at random the same/next day. God is here for you if you let Him guide you.
The Holy Bible says, "love thy enemy", "turn the other cheek", "If your enemy is hungry, feed him", "if he is thirsty, give him a drink", "pray for those who persecute you", "do not repay evil for evil".
LORD willing, all humans may commit sin of almost every kind (gay, straight), and that's wrong, and all humans sin, as God tells us through the The Holy Bible, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." The Holy Bible also says, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.", "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." and, “For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."

While it doesn't make sense with in the narrative of a comic book world full of superheroes for a terrorist attack of this magnitud to happen, unless there was a conspiracy just as massive, that wasn't the point of this issue of The Amazing Spider-Man, it was meant to send a message it was Marvel's way to talk to their readers and let them know "there are real heroes doing all they can and we will move on from this, we can still live on", they even used 9/11 other times, like in Spider-Man Life Story, Peter ages with the pass of time like any normal person would, and he is an old man when 9/11 happens and actually stop being Spider-Man for years at that point, but he put on a makeshift mask and help getting people out the rubble; Also it needed to be acknowlaged by Marvel in some way, the artist and writters could just keep using the twin towers like nothing happen (in the real that is), this is why DC has an advanted with places that don't like Metropolis and Gotham, they can do what ever they want, I mean Marvel can too, but they have to stick to real world events and DC doesn't; so the 9/11 in Marvel was necessary to acknowlage, I don't if DC did something similar though.

Doom is crying because he's wondering why he didnt think of it first.
That one point about superheroes being largely restricted to serving under a very specific umbrella of heroism for the sake of maintaining the status quo has always been a rather curious observation to me. It's something that I'd be genuinely interested in seeing explored and deconstructed further within the genre in the near future. Seeing superheroes be allowed to explore and apply their unique abilities to issues lying outside the usual ballpark offered to them by the "powers-that-be" has potential for some really interesting discussions.
The fact that dr doom legit says "what kind of monster would do such a thing?"
Or something along those lines and cries is so out of character if anything he's be mad he didn't think of doing it first 💀
Yeah, as other people have pointed out the only one that would really make sense to be devastated is Kingpin. I’m trying to get maybe Magneto being empathetic, but I honestly can’t see that either as he would probably just view it as another example of humans being fucked up to further justify his crusade.

To be honest on a world like marvel 9/11 would be prevented of ever happened, on the other hand the stanford incident works better as marvel's 9/11, and in mcu's case the battle of new york.
On the comics of the boys it's pretty well done how 9/11 is an important plot point by homelander's fault when he left everyone died the washigton bridge ended up destroyed instead
"aliens paying a visit" has a real TFS vegeta "I'm going to go pay him a beating" vibe to it in this context
I love how this is a mix of using comic logic on real-world events. It doesn't make sense in the comics they managed to carry out both plane attacks successfully on the Towers, but at the same time, it would have been insane for it to play out differently in the comics. I think they would have gotten a crazy amount of backlash if they were just like, "Well, Spider-Man stepped in and stopped the second plane." or "The F4 stopped the whole thing from happening at all." while the world was still dealing with the actual reality of it.
This video feels pretty cringe, honestly. It’s almost like it’s missing the point of this comic. Its a commentary, not a literal depiction of what superheroes "should" have done. The comic reflects the writers’ feelings and the country’s collective grief at the time not an attempt to fit seamlessly into Marvel continuity. You kind of a touching on this at the beginning of the video doesn't negate the fact that it's just commentary. Yeah, it's a bit goofy choice seeing Doom cry but the purpose is to convey how the writers felt. Romita himself said that it was an artistic choice on his end.
Sure, the heroes could stop 9/11 in-universe, but how much more cringe would it be if Spider-Man just stopped the second plane? That would trivialize a real tragedy even more, turning it into a power fantasy. This issue wasn’t about Marvel continuity it was about mourning and reflecting on something horrific in real life. Something that the writers were there for. Marvel officers were literally located in New York at this time so it adds a bit of extra reality to them. Trying to nitpick it as if it’s a regular comic story kind of misses the point.
They knew it was a canon event so they couldn’t stop it
Hey! HEY! What are you doing?! Comic book fans collectively agreed never to talk about this! It was a traumatic time, and even then we knew Doctor Doom wouldn't shed a tear for a bombing in New York! You fetuses born after 2002 think you can come in and break THE PACT?
Be prepared for a nighttime visit from Joe Quesada wielding two Japanese tantos.
The cryer was a rogue Doombot.
Out of Doom, Magneto, and Kingpin, only Kingpin makes sense. He’s sometimes been characterized to care about New York and it’s people (although, I wouldn’t say it’s consistent, but I like the idea so I’m gonna pretend it is). So, I could see him helping, but definitely not Doom or Magneto.

When discussed 9/11, one thing that doesn't work for me is the Marvel Universe "sliding timeline," especially when it comes to the 616 timeline.
Peter Parker has been Spider-Man for around 15 - 20 years. As of writing this comment, 9/11 happened 23 years ago, so Spider-Man wouldn't have been involved with the tragedy simply because how time works.
Yeah, it’s weird, although during the run of Spider-Man where 9/11 happened, he was probably around 25. He just got a job as a high school teacher.
This is actually a very clear insight into how closely connected the comic book industry is to the military industrial complex established after WW2.
I can see Magneto being upset about it, as a holocaust survivor I don't think he likes any mass casualty event. As for trying to kill the population, that Magneto is super inconsistent. Magneto in the 60's would kill all humans, but post trial of Magneto, he vows not to kill humans anymore. Then, in the 90's when Moira McTaggart tries to wipe his memory, he freaks out and becomes evil again, but then becomes good again right after. In Morrison's New X-Men, Magneto also tries to destroy the human race, but that wasn't actually Magneto, it was Xorn disguised as Magneto. When he was back in the 2010's he was a good guy again, almost always on the x-men in some capactity. In the most recent Krakoa era, Magneto AGAIN vows to "kill no man"
TLDR: Magneto does not support mass killings, he fought during AXE: JUDGMENT DAY to save the population of the planet. Currently, he is STILL on the X-Men.
Edit: I also forgot to mention that as a jewish person and a mutant, he is adamantly against racism, which is unfortunately the lasting legacy of the war on terror, Magneto would fight for anyone being marginalized and attacked.
