    It's worth highliting that the design for Ultimate Captain Marvel was actually the design Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes ended up using for their take on Mar-Vell and kree soldiers. It's a solid design that updates the character's classic costume to the modern day.

      @@TevyaSmolka Galactus was lame but you can see the event book is more about how to assemble the complicated Ultimate Universe to identify and face a planetary threat than about Galactus as a concept or a character (even if their take on it feel soooo 2000's movie script it hurts). I would've like a take on infinity gauntlet with or without Thanos.
      The Thanos arc wasn't great but it was one of the better arcs of the book if you're actually reading Ultimate FF and not just checking the Thanos issue... He's still a highlight.
      What made Thanos great in the first place was that as Starlin's baby he ended up being much more of a main character in the books featuring him than an antagonist and, unlike the movies, I don't think the Ultimate Universe figured that out or was even trying to. Had they developped him or brought him back the stars were not aligned for him to be any more than an average Super Villain.

      @@marcusharris188 Deadpool is complicated, his first comic arc is actually quite close to the movie with Blind Al and Weasel and his kind of slacker attitude as a guy in general, he's nasty and has a twisted sense of humor but it's mostly apparent in his domestic life and the rest of the time he was a badass merc/anti-hero who never shuts up in the way Spidey does.
      For some time as he had no longer a solo serie his characterization was less humoristic, it fluctuated until some writer leaned in very hard into the voices in his head and absurd humor. I don't think Way came up with it but once deadpool had a solo serie again and Way began writting it the deadpool we know today was fully formed. It was way before the movie I'd say.

Then you had the external friend group with Mary Jane and Kitty and Aunt May as the mom of them all. Sad that we never got to see more stories of Peter in David Marquez's artstyle after he came back to life (Even though I think he had the best death in comics), but I'm glad we get to see this new 6160 version from Hickman that hits all the same beats but in a different way!

    Morbius - Who only appears in two issues of Ultimate Spider-Man where he were a ACTUAL vampire is the son of Vlad Dracula who instead help defend people from evil vampires, which probably make him a much better version of the character than what Sony did with the Morbius movie.

    Honestly, a lot of the Ultimate line can be summed up as "wasted potential".
    The vibe that I got back in the day was that they had some kind of plan but it either kept falling short or never materialized(like Bryan Singer was supposed the write a big story arc for Ultimate X-men but directing conflicts made it never happened). Also didn't help that it felt at times like the ones in charge didn't care as long as nothing messed with whatever the big names had planned.
    Which just leads to a lot of cool ideas and characters with nowhere to go.

    A bit late to this, but great work Owen! I find it fascinating how, as impactful as it was through it’s 21st century reinvention of characters like Spider-Man or the Avengers/Ultimates, the original Ultimate Marvel Universe had its fair share of updates that just didn’t land the way they should’ve.

    One honorable mention for me is Ultimate Sinister. Instead of being a mad geneticist, he's an almost supernatural psychic mutant serial killer with two guns and hallucinations of his God Apocalypse. Is it different, yes. But I personally really like that he's basically a fanatic with a gun and how dangerous that can be. Also the line "The one true enemy of the great Charles Xavier...Stairs" before chucking Prof. X down a staircase will never not be funny to me.

    Thanks Owen been looking forward to this one. Im honestly not surprised the Ultimate Universe was so popular at times but it does seem like they dropped the ball on the majority of stuff and a lot of good ideas! Im starting to collect Ultimate Universe Omnibuses now and after this I’ve been visually drawn into a few more. Ultimate Deadpools look is clean! Ultimate Thanos with a bit more of a Darkseid-esque look and motive is interesting but with Black Suit Reed Richards by his side that has got me! Even Cable it’s like more of a What If Wolverine & The Phoenix got married not Cyclops so that works for me. Another Visual is Charles Xavier in the Onslaught inspired suit & what I assume was Wolverine/Cable next to him in the X-face suit. I’ve been following the new Ultimate relaunch closely so far and exited for what’s to come!

    Minor note
    Ronan is Thanos son in the 1610 universe and resembles Steppenwolf too. And in Hulk vs Wolverine, Jen Walters sells the Hulk serum and found out by Fury to be asking for a copy of the reboot of Star Trek, written at the time by Lindelof and JJ Abrams in a ha ha moment of deprecation.

    ultimates apocalypse Shouldn't even exist in the Earth's 1610 continuity due to how thee mutants came into existence That being a pathogen that was created from Wolverines dna that was then put into the water supply by a Canadian government meaning it's completely impossible for some one like apocalypse to exist since Mutants didn't show up in the ultimate universe until after those experiments on Wolverine occurred

    Wow. Great video and thanks. A lot of these characters retakes are pretty interesting but some were not executed all that well. Cable looks to be the coolest from this list. I've been delving into the Ultimate Universe as Marvel releases them in omnibus form. I am really enjoying it. Ultimate Spider-Man is quickly crawling into my top 10 runs of all time. The Ultimates By Millar And Hitch is some thought provoking and crazy stuff. Hickman is solid as per usual. I really liked Ultimate X-Men By Millar but I think it got better with Bendis, Vaughn, and I'm halfway through Kirkman's stuff. That take on The Vision almost seems more in tune with the Silver Surfer. Alien being comes to Earth, has ties to Gah Lak Tus, finds it's humanity. I also really liked those minis by Bendis and Sandoval that told the downfall of Reed. I'm excited to keep reading this stuff. And then there's the new Ultimate Universe kickstarted by Hickman. Haha. Take care and peace.

    Could you do a video on Jonathan Hickman's tenure at Marvel? I feel like the man has done so much crazy stuff, it warrants a video.
    Especially the recent X-Men stuff and why he left that.

  • @user-op8yh6xl6t

    Gonna be that guy. Reed didn't trap Thanos in a time loop in the Cosmic Cube. He removed a safety mechanism in the Cube that prevented it from granting subconscious wishes. Since Thanos's greatest subconscious wish was to permanently become one with death, the Cube granted his wish by killing him. Then Reed opened a time warp to the past to give Thanos the Cube thousands of years in the past, creating a closed time loop and explaining the origin of the original Cube Thanos used.

    There is one more appearance of Ultimate Deadpool, though it's outside the comics. In the Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions video game, he's a boss fight whose personality is much closer to that of his 616 counterpart. I think there was some background text or throw away dialogue that said the explosion had scrambled his brain.

    I really love Ultimate Deadpool's costume and his more serious portrayal, while still being a motor mouth psycho. I wish he'd appeared more often and gotten some character development. Classic Deadpool is a cool, but I wish he wasn't quite so ridiculous.

    I'm in the small group who actually quite enjoyed Ultimate Fantastic Four. Especially once Pascal Ferry took over the art. It felt very experimental and explored interesting concepts, and while I'm normally not into more abstract art Ferry grew on me, and his style really suited Godwars which addressed additional dimensions beyond the four we can experience here. It also felt less beholden to the post 9/11 mindset mentioned in this video that permeated other comics in the lineup, especially The Ultimates which does not hold up well at all in retrospect (even ignoring the horrible 3rd mini), which makes it more timeless.

    Ultimate Deadpool did get a bit of a redemption in the Spider-Man Shattered Dimensional video game where his level is actually considered to be one of the best in the game. Though it's quite clear that they did change him a up a bit to be more in line with his 616 counterpart.
