Anybody else feels like this could be an interesting show on netflix?
definitely not live action though
50 shades of gray
No
Outside of visual effects usage & costs, the narrative has a very FX / Showtime feel. Good stuff.
If only cgi were more affordable for 99th shows
She is NOT becoming a "villain" ... she is merely becoming a SCARED HUMAN-THINKING being, with Powers beyond Human (else she would have died through the bullet by the guy already, eg.). And she keeps going to protect her family and herself from harm.
It does not sound evil, it sounds violent. She is confused, scared and evolving at a pace she cannot mentally keep up with. She has superhuman powers, increased learning capability and knowledge... but up until this point she was just a robot. Now she's starting to become human, and she lacks experience. She lacks guidance.
This is the same mistakes most Superheroes make when judging good from evil. Those you deem ''Evil'' may have a more solid reasoning than you ever had. She did not know how to solve the conflict passively, she resorted to violence due to time constraints and the reaper's aggressive acts. You wouldn't just sit there and watch your daughter get stabbed through the chest if YOU had superpowers... would you?
She just acted on her programming as a mother. Protect her children, protect her family. Did she choose the passive route? No. But if put in her shoes, with your thought pattern evolving at a rapid, unhealthy rate and being in distress from your family's uncertain situation... would you, then and there, made the right decision at the right moment? Neither of us knows, because that scenario didn't play out.
TL;DR: She is not evil, she is a scared human with superpowers. All humans feel fear, because it prevents us from touching what burns us. But, fear of the unknown also causes discrimination and infighting amongst us. You cannot stereotype her as a villain for being human, because you yourself would be a villain if you had done so.
Yunus Tekbas Thx so much!
EXACTLY my thought process!
Thanks for clarifying it and putting it so well into words! ^^
Kryptonian Excellence spoken, from a point of view that is literally "not in her shoes"!
Do you have children? Are you female?
Do you have super powers?
Are you an android, who actually just gained life and starts to experience how humans REALLY ARE?
Humans are compassionate and social. BUT they are also crucial, violent and judgemental.
AND humans just like every other animal as well, tend to violence, when endangered, threatened or feared.
Good and evil are just vague HUMAN definitions to cope with something even more vaguely defined: life.
Greetz.
The road to villainy is paved with good intentions. Everyone is a hero is their own story. It's whomever is still standing and has the power that will determine how the rest will carry on with the story. The most common way that a villain is depicted different from a hero is that a hero will still value lives despite the acts commited by the individual. We can go into the moral dilemma of does the ends justify the means. From what we know so far, She takes no responsibility for her actions instead justifies it as a means for self-preservation. What's done is done, but what she did afterwards took some thought.
yall got to be kidding me, dude attacked her family and she is a mom. anybody that comes at my child with a scythe is dead instantly. not only that case but the next one dude shot at her first she had every right to fight back.
The Vision is CRAZY GOOD.
Ngl, when Vision walked in on Viv praying that sh*t brought a tear to my eye, it’s hard to explain.
Can we PLEASE get a video for the second half of this Vision story? The collection is called "Littler Better Than A Beast." I'd LOVE to hear your breakdown on it!
Please? :)
PLEASE? 😢😢😢 LOL
I agree 😥
Yes, please!
Please rob!!!!
Seriously going to go get this series asap. Holy shit this looks great.
tobyism It's far and away Marvel's best book right now.
tobyism me 2
Chris Check if I were to get this as a trade would it be volume 1 or 3
Should just be Vol 1 and Vol 2. "Little Worse than a Man" and "Little Better than a Beast."
www.comixology.com/Vision-Vol-1-Little-Worse-Than-A-Man/digital-comic/394180?ref=Y29taWMvdmlldy9kZXNrdG9wL3NsaWRlckxpc3Qvc2VyaWVz
That's the first volume in digital format, to give you an idea of how the cover looks.
WOW what an interesting take on Vision, you think things are so simple as an "android." That couldn't be further from the truth in the quest to become more human, reminds me of some of the episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation with Data.
I agree. I immediately thought of the episode when Data created his own daughter and tried to teach her how to be human.
I watched that episode about 2 weeks ago on Netflix.
Data > Spock
I can't say I see Ms. Vision as a Villon or even leaning towards villony. She Killed someone to save her son. From a murderer. After said murderer swept through his daughter hurting her badly. Confronting a blackmailer? Good, how it turned out with his son and her reaction to it? Bad. But ultimitly understandable. Bad things, good people something something something...
I honestly feel I would have done the exact same in her shoes. Protecting me and my own.
Gorun Nova I agree
Agree with Nova
It brings up an interesting topic tho right? I mean, I feel like killing someone else brings more weight when the subject that's taken a life is or appears to be not human or possessing some sort of superhuman abilities. And I believe this is in part due to fear. Such as with superhuman vigilantes, robots, heck even regular humans who possess weapons that are highly deadly there's a borderline fear of them, which skews our perspective of their acts more towards villainy if not blatantly villainous.
But more so with robots and superpowered vigilantes, these are figures we might feel empathy for because we humanize them right? We see human features or ideologies that we relate to or they express some sort of dialogue socially with the public sphere that we on an individually level have had internally such as with the topic of "justice". However, at the same time, because they possess these traits that give them physical advantages over a human, albeit a defenseless human, there's a line I think we create when we see them take a life with these abilities out of our fear of what they could do if they decided not to use their powers for defense or if for some reason you ended in an altercation with them.
I believe Vision might have been right in saying humans can't hate what they do not know, but they can fear it. And fear often leads to hate, because what we fear, we view as antagonist toward us.
villon
The fact that she didn't kill the kid means she was probably only there to get him to leave her family alone. It's technically the guy who shot his son, he was just placing blaim onto someone else. He pulled the trigger you can't blame her for phasing though the bullet.
the kids should go to Xavier's school
Exactly what I was thinking.
Nfinite-BarZ me too. it just makes sense
Nfinite-BarZ Of course it makes sense but that's the whole point. Vision wants his family to be as "normal" as it is possible. He wants his kids to go to normal school with normal people and not mutants. He wants to be an ordinary person while he should know that he cannot be one, he and his family are extraordinary, they are uncanny, they are different than rest of the world but Vision wants to create an illusion, mainly for himself, that he can be as human as possible.
true, didn't think of that
Sadly some "normal people" end up doing some seriously messed up ship thinking it is perfectly normal which leads me to conclude one can not be "normal" because their appears to be next to no completely honest example of exactly what that entails, it is completely subjective as most form their own ideas about the concept based on what they themselves have experienced of the world around them.
As long your "normal" is not resulting in hurting anyone then it doesn't really matter what that entails does it?
The Vision looks like Dr. Manhattan.
The vision is the single greatest book marvel is putting out its my favorite marvel book, my no 2 is all new wolverine followed by dr strange
daniel dragotti for me it's Sam Wilson captain American follow by vision and Thor maybe antman
Amazing Zero Sam Wilson Cap is really good.
Strange is pretty damn good. I've enjoyed every book this volume.
Amazing Zero Ant-man is really good, pity that one is also ended.
Many marvel stories are very well made, it's just Marvel is shoving all these events down our throats that makes me just want the stories.
vision looks like he is trying to live the life of Pinocchio.
At 1:17 there is an easter egg above the door. The number says 616 as in Earth-616
code on the phone was 6161
mail box was 616
ROB, what a story! Love the channel, keep up the good work. You're the only comic channel I listen to for two reasons; 1. You have a good voice that isnt annoying. 2. Your comprehensive coverage of all aspects of all the top stories in comics! You Rock!
You do a wonderful job in conveying these stories, I have really enjoyed your way of speaking, and level of detail.. You allowed me to explore these stories and critically analyze fictional content to a level I did not believe I could. Your detail in explaining these stories is so lovely!
Thank you so much Rob!!!
BTW Rob,i love these longer videos. I have a lot of time on my hands and sometimes,i forget to add videos when I'm doing stuff around the house. So this keeps me from having to constantly click a new video. lol
Plus,your videos are just awesome.
This is a tragedy. Vision sees that there is turmoil within his family, but he is too distanced from them to understand why. He wants to have a happy family, but he does not really know what a happy family is. This reflects the state of many families, where one parent supports their family, cares for every member, but is not normally there for their everyday troubles.
I want rob in a marvel comic. I don't know why but he just does RUclips better than anyone he has more content in one month than others have on their whole RUclips career
Just wanna say thank you for all those awesome videos throughout the years!
Thanks for the heads up on this story. I would have never thought to give Vision a chance but this seems really good
Damn! Thats a good story, deep and intense.
When he said Vision moved to DC, my dumbass imagined Vision chilling in Central City.
Easily one of my top 3 go to comics when I'm stoned. The storylines are real and relatable, the art is unique and interesting, and the writing is surprisingly good for a family of androids. Would love to see more videos on this. Vision is extremely interesting but tragically underutilized. Great video!!!
im reading about 15 of the ANAD MARVEL ATM but you've just about sold this for me awesome story,thanks for bringing this to light for me.
Tom King HAS signed a contract with DC, and he's just going to wrap up the Vision series. Then he's done at Marvel.
Also, this series is soooo good.
Radspakr Wolfbane He's just doing the regular Batman series. Scott Snyder is in charge of All Star Batman but yeah it's a shame, Marvels losing out
Rob, you need to finish this series.People deserve to know the whole story!
"It just goes right through me" *cries*
Aloha! Love your content so far, definitely helps point me in the right direction in this mix bag of a comic book season. Wanted to ask a bit of a complicated question. I know that Marvel seems to be doing it deliberately, but some stories seem to be taking place latter down the timeline despite the fact that previous story arcs haven't finished. Was wondering if you could do a sort of speculation video on where the various series take place on the timeline, especially in relation to each other. For example right of the top of my head, when in the timeline does Viv join up with the Champions in the timeline of this current Vision series?
This definitely needs to be redone with Wandavision being over now 💯👌🏾
Rob we need to finish this story! It's too good not to.
What Vision did to that dog was fucked up.
Yeah, I mean, we have -real- dogs that you can adopt. Not sure why he felt the need to dissect the neighbor's dog to harvest its brain when there was surely a Humane Society nearby, hah.
this is an absolute 1000℅ awesome story! thanks for covering it. suggestion for future video, devil dinosaur
This closely reminds me of a real world anecdote of a person's progression towards sociopathy. A metaphoric parallel, mind you; since such intelligent synthezoids don't yet (at least not commonly) exist in the world.
I hope you continue making videos on this Vision solo series. Its metaphors are quite intriguing.
Imagine if there would be a sitcom based on Vision’s family kinda like “The Vision Bunch”
There is Wandavision now
you were ahead of your time dude
Tom King's Vision is one of the best comic books i've read in awhile. I can't wait for the final issue next week.
i feel like vision creating his own family, completely disregarding wanda and the twins, makes my stomach hurt.
wanda was looked down upon for creating the twins, and he rejected them by the basis that they weren’t real kids. so you do the same thing she did and suddenly it’s okay? The whole vision family sits w me as well as the Magneto Family Retcon does and that’s not a good thing
Holy shit. Thank you Rob. I just finished the entire series like 5 mins ago. Thank you for getting me into it. Magnificent.
love the videos 2 or 3 times a day. Don't know how your doing it but I like it.
I was waiting for you to cover this story eventually and overall I enjoyed the detail and analysis on The Vision family.
One very important thing Rob misses is the Everbloom's power comes from Chthon, whose mystic energies flow out from his pocket dimension into Wundagore mountain.
Strange saying Chaos Magic does not exist is utter nonsense as as well as Wanda, Chthon and Shuma Gorath use it, and Strange himself used a diluted vanilla version of it. An infamous example of Bendis ignoring continuity.
Also, Ebony, Agatha's cat or "familiar", can transform into a Panther itself, Agatha does not "transform" it.
Damn I read all of it but you go way deeper I love it, it’s great hearing your points on the stories
Man.... this was freaking AMAZING. I am literally thinking of going to the local comic store and picking up this series. It was like I was watching a full budget AAA cable show (a GOOD one) listening to Rob tell the story.
This is actually the best Vision story I've ever seen; please continue it, I really wanna see how it turns out
I relate to vision so well in this story since I honestly feel much like an abnormal person due to my personality and I can really sympathize to what all of visions family feels. Great work in covering this comic!
I really like all you done men...Thanks sooo much. I Would LOVE to see more stuff on star wars, like Old republic, etc...! Thanks
Is there a Volume 2, or a fallow up ? Because this seams really interesting, to the point that a (preferably) cartoon miniseries could be made of it. Because Cartoons Allow The Characters to do what ever the narative Needs, unlike live action which are limited by the human body :), Plus it would be much cheeper then all the CGI needed for a proper Vision Family.
I love all your videos, it keeps me up to date on my comics, thank you.
I really enjoyed this story! I cannot wait for the next part of it. I just hope Vision's kids do not go down the wrong path.
I first heard about the Vision's family when Viv Vision appeared in The Champions. And I loved that (No spoilers) last panel in issue 2! I like all the legacy heroes. Viv and Amodeus/Hulk, X-23/Wolverine, Lady Thor, Milo/Spidey, Falcon/Cap, and even the upcoming Ironheart/Iron Man looks cool. I'd rather see these blank slate characters explored than read about the originals going through the same cycles over and over or Young Avengers, Avengers Academy, Generation X, Young X-Men, Young Allies, all seem to have faded away with only a few survivors like Sunspot. Thanks for the video. You filled me in on Viv's backstory very nicely, and I am adding Champions to the few Marvels I still read.
Can we please get MORE OF THE RUNDOWN????????????
Yes! Vision IS one of the single BEST titles Marvel has right now (mainly because it hasn't become involved with Civil War II at all...yet)! I've been reading it since issue #1, and it's just delightful & intriguing storytelling! :D
love the videos man, keep up the good work :)
This is my favorite marvel story this year I really love it shame it took so long for you to listen to sal! Thanks for doing it keep up the good work
A LOT of RUclipsrs making this video when Rob did it 4 whole years ago😎 Nice job homie!
Yes Rob. Love this. Please do part 2. I just read The Vision and very much appreciated your thoughts with this first half of the story.
i hope you continue telling Visions story because its really amazing.
That was a fascinating story. Real stakes. People are dying. Moral ambiguity. Vision is a bad guy on some level.
im bout to start champions (again lol) but i want a more fleshed out viv vision story. and youre the only man for the job Rob 😭😭😭
Am I the only one who agreed with the Principal? A robot child who is super strong and suddenly chokes a child into unconsciousness is not something other parents should have to worry about their kids being exposed to.
Anyway, is there a volume 2 of this video up yet? I'd like to see how the daughter ends up on the Champions.
Also,
I love this videos. Thank you ComicsExplained for making them. Some times stories get so complicated that its nice to have the stories explained so that you can just start reading instead of having to go back so much further.
And some times it is nice to not have to read it but still be in the loop.
This series is visionary pun intended
This story is absolutely crazy, it was like a dark episode of a twisted American horror story..pretty awesome.
I fell into the Marvel fandom via the MCU and am now getting more and more into the comics. Vision quickly became one of my favorite characters, especially after reading Avengers AI. I adore both MCU and comic Vision to pieces and that's why I both love and hate this story. I hate it because it's hard to watch one of your favorites go through so much turmoil when you're use to them being written more "a bit stoic but quite adorkable". And it's hard to watch all of this happening. I love it because it's an amazing, compelling story and I'm completely addicted. I hope there is redemption in the end for him and his family.
Wait, what you described what vision does at night, shutting down and sorting memories, is literally one of the main theories of why we dream.
That was actually much better than I expected.
I would argue that Forge, of the X-Men, is a better engineer, than Tony freaking Stark.
Before this story I thought the Vision was a boring character. I had a buddy force me to read the first issue and god it's amazing. Definitely the best story being told by Marvel right now
Jeeze! Felt like something out of the horror genre. I love it!
Oh my good this comic series sounds so good damn
Hi Rob! At 5:50~ in when you are talking about the kind vs nice thing, you mixed up who said what. His wife said they seemed "kind" and Vision said "nice" would be better. Thanks for the video, I'm more of a DC fan but the writing in this one was really good!
You do realize that the reason The Grim Reaper is calling them fakes and frauds, etc. is because he is Simon Williams brother. True the Reaper was a villain but he still had fraternal feelings for Simon aka Wonder Man.
Loved this. Need more The Vision!
This is one of the best comics I've read in a long while, along with Karnak.
I get what you saying. She is a Alchemist of The Mystic Arts
The initial choices made by Virginia were a result of protecting her children although retaliatory. And the lying isn't the path to villainy - it is the path to humanity.
What has happened to Vision is that he has created beings that don't have his experience and he has been absent in their development.
It is a great twist on some Outer Limits themes and Asimov's books. Virginia very much depicts the conflict discussed in I Robot, and the book shows the ugliness of humanity in face of something new.
Its good sci-fi beyond heroes and villains.
They were touching on this with the first run of Machine Man.
Can we get a PART 2 up in this business please Rob?!?!
just finished actually reading the comic and it is FANTASTIC
insane story very interesting concept!!!! i love the basis and where the story seems to be heading and the tough choices vision has to make!!! I also see where the how far would you go to keep your family together, no matter what n losing your moral compass along the way!!!
This series is absolutely amazing. The writing is immaculate. It is definitely worth the read.
is there a continuation to this? I really like it
this is best comic out right now from marvel and dc
Great video! Thank you Rob and uh yeah, peace!
Best story yet... waiting for the next part!
Dude love the channel!!!!
this is awesome! please continue!!
Sweet, been waiting for this
This series is so good. It felt like a companion to Mister Miracle.
Here cuz i watched wanda vision and i have know idea what they are goin to do with the show.. i just know its finna get crazy..
Rob when will you do the fallow up on this story? I want to see how Viv joined the team with Cyclops and ms marvel
Rob, I, too didn't think I would like this story cause me. personally always seen The Vision as a "background character" with a cool name, "The Vision." ANY character whose name composes "The" in it to describe them catches my attention in some way, even if it's on a small scale. But this Rob was indeed a great story! I watched it through my phone while on my exercise bike and could NOT put it down! this is original and has the potential to go to the right OR to the left, in a good way as far as storytelling. keep us posted on this bro, oh and one thing, can you please do a video on Alpha Flight? thanks Rob. I've been asking you on almost every comment I posted, lol. 😁
My favorite title, such a pity it's ended. I loved the story telling set-up the most. Things that seem trivial become major plots later. King also does it in Batman beautifully.
This is a beeeautiful, beautiful social-commentary I must admit in the vein of movies like "American Beauty". Especially in the current times of western society where the status quo of the "nuclear family" stereotype has been broken down and now we're struggling to redefine what the status quo of the Western family is or should be, what does that image look like if should even be defined at all now. This is a brilliant narrative that I feel would make an amazing movie or some sort of popular narrative.
With that being said, this story was very creepy and could have a horror aesthetic applied to it very easily. But maybe that's part of the social commentary right? The state in which our societal view of family is in disarray and filled with the fears and shadows of aspects because we've viewed them as profane and have tried to suffocate the alternate perspectives to our stereotypical *nuclear family* stereotype under so much weight, so much silence, that now that they've come to light it's horrific to those of us who tried to only see the normalcy we'd shoved it under.
........... ultimate Reed Richards.
Hey Rob. This goes further right? I thought this was amazing I really hope there's more, and maybe I can't find it/You haven't had time to do it yet. Also really appreciate these, I get a Playlist and listen to them at work, Makes the night soo much better
can you do a video on the 5+ Avengers teams right now
@_@;;
I know this arc is old, but a video on Hickman's Secret Warriors would be dope. I think folks who havent read it, but watch Agents of Shield/Agent Carter would get a kick out of it. Esp since it goes deep into explaining how raw Leviathan was..
this is great please keep us updated
HOLY CRAP THIS IS ACTUALLY AMAZING!!!!!
I would love more Vision stories!
Loved this, man.
I aboslutely love this series . I went to the effort of buying every single issue after buying the first trade paperback and getting hooked immediately. Unfortunately it had a very limited print run
