#AlphaFlight #XMen #Wolverine
I'm American, but Alpha Flight was always my favorite as a kid in the early 80s (West Coast Avengers were number two). Puck has one of the best personalities of any Marvel character.
I always felt kind of sorry for Alpha Flight. Everyone was so messed up, and it made for great stories. Tragically flawed all the way.
Absolutely loved alpha flight Sasquatch to this day is one of my favorite superheroes He's unbelievably powerful a lot of people don't realize just how powerful Sasquatch is he can go toe to toe with the hulk any day of the week and he got more powerful as time went on one of my favorites I don't read marvel comics anymore because social justice has destroyed them the left-wing anti-mayo anti-American anti white people movement has made me not want to read their books but they were awesome back then
I still love Alpha Flight. Sasquatch was always my favorite character. I still have the entire run of the original series, complete with cross overs and annuals. Hard to believe that was 40 years ago.
Back in the 80's when all my friends were team X-Men, I was team Alpha Flight. Thanks for the vid of my favorite team.
Marv Jones Awesome! You had good taste even back then Marv 😎
Yeah my friends back in the 80’s considered me weird because I was an Alpha Flight fan and not an X-nut like everyone else, and I’m not even Canadian.
Yes, also a fan of Alpha Flight
they need a live action movie
I wholly agree with you
Yeah
kcvic I hope we get some sort of live action iteration
Tell you what, it’s save the mcu from relying on China’s revenues🤔🤔.And the storyline is original origin story for wolverine and saber tooth, Marina for the anticipatedSubmariner. Guess there gonna scratch how the infinity gems cause mutants and and use Covid as the reason. MCU is done unless there’s Galactus ( done properly) and Beyonder( Secret Wars) anything less is trash!!
One of my FAVORITES ! I pray they never screw up the COMIC BY DOIN A WOKE LIVE ACTION!
Not a canuck. But,always a fan of the flight!
I would LOVE to see Alpha Flight in the MCU, I remember reading the comics when they first appeared.
Yeah that would be awesome
I'm Malaysian, and honestly Alpha Flight has been my favourite superhero team since i was 11. And i cant wait for them to get their screen time on the big screen or on disney plus. Come on MCU make it happen sooner
Rumor dropped today that Ryan Gosling may be interested in playing Guardian. I would love to see Alpha Flight introduced into the MCU
They can easily do a Wolverine meets, joins and battles Alpha Flight movie. They would have to cast a new wolverine tho, as I think Hughe is done with Wolverine now
Hi: I believe Alpha Flight, would make a good movie, or series, if they can afford to make it... It would have to be a big budget movie.
There are so many plot twist, and good, characters to play with.... MCU, needs to jump on that....
Alpha Flight casting call!
Guardian - Joshua Jackson (Fringe)
Heather Hudson - Annie Murphy (Schitt's Creek)
Aurora - Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black)
Northstar - Gaspard Ulliel (French actor/model)
Sasquatch - Seth Rogan (Knocked Up)
Shaman - Chaske Spencer (Banshee)
Snowbird - Kristen Kreuk (Smallville)
Marina - Cara Delevigne (Suicide Squad)
This list is totally subjective, and might be hit or miss, but Tatiana Maslany is Dead. On. for Aurora.
I also hope they bring Alpha flight and X factor to MCU!
Loved Alpha Flight! I fondly remember waiting for the first issue of the series. John Byrne at his height of success.
Same here. Those first 24 issues were great.
Thank you for the memories. John Byrne and Chris Claremont are the absolute gods of my adolescence.
would love to see alpha flight in the mcu!
Still waiting on an Alpha Flight movie!
Happy Canada Day to Canadians everywhere!!😀👍❤🇨🇦😷🎂🎈✨🎇🎆
I'm late but yay! Eh👊💕
Great to see a fellow Canadian
I would like to see Alpha Flight become a movie
Alpha Flight is my favorite non-Fantastic Four superteam! Thank you for this!!
Always loved them. Vindicator💪
Wanted to hear more about box, maybe next time
Easily the BEST ALPHA FLIGHT YOU TUBE VIDEO I've Seen
Master of the World is such a great underused and lesser-known character. Armored, super-intelligent, powerful, with access to advanced alien technology, he's a essentially a Canada-based Doctor Doom.
Or a more decked out vandal savage.XD
I would like Alpha Flight to be incorporated in the MCU. I think the easiest route to go with them is to make them a superhero horror team. They did have all kinds of strange and scary threats such as Scrambler, The Great Beasts and Pestilence so this direction won't be too far fetched. Plus The New Mutants are already leading the charge on this so why not have Alpha Flight come up right behind them?
personally i think its a good way to do an on going series and they wouldn't have to hide the fact that they film in Canada to save money. plus as a Canadian i feel under represented in fiction, you don't see a lot of heroes on the international stage that are from Canada and a lot of times what i see is that stereo type of us acting like lumberjacks and talking with over accented A sounds, we don't all do that, in fact i don't know anyone who sounds like that
Wrong. Wrong. WRONG
Alpha Flight is awesome I heard of them in 1992 X-men T,v, show excellent Job.
Oooh I loved alpha flight, because I was a deep X-men nerd in 1980 and when alpha flight came out and the wolverine tie alone - I’m in!
I am such a big Alpha Flight Fan! I have the first twelve issues which to me are some of the best. The team went through a lot in their run, but that first dozen issues were really tough. If I ever get to meet Mr. Bryne I definitely want him to sign my issue #1.
It would be nice to see Alpha Flight in a live action film.Provided they got the right director and some decent actors.The last time I saw them outside the comics.Was in an episode of the 90's X men show.
I have a soft spot for Alpha Flight, hope they get some MCU love real soon👍
I could see Puck fucking up a room of mercenaries in like 10 seconds. Super-dwarf on swoll. Mini-Beast
I have been an Alpha Flight fan for decades . One thing that drew me in was that they are most often seen in action in rural settings , I grew up and still live in a rural area , all the other superheroes are always in action in the big city , that didn’t capture my imagination as a boy running through the woods
One of my ALL TIME FAVOURITE teams (along with New Warriors)
Hope they get so much more of the spotlight. They are definitely a true fan favourite
I'm dying to see AF in the MCU!
Always been a guardian fan, I liked his costume
What a detailed and thorough video and I enjoyed every second. Thank you.
I want Alpha Flight In Marvel Now❄️🙏😎!
They should make a real movie!!!
I loved Harry and The Henderson’s when I was a kid and I discovered Alpha Flight, along with XForce and Spideman at the time. Sasquatch became a fan favorite at that point.
Alpha Flight was vaguely hinted at at the end of "Logan" as the group over the Canadian border the kids were trying to reach.
With the exception of Northstar and Aurora they weren't mutants
I like the name Weapon Alpha. A lot to diggest in regards this awesome team, thanks for the references you included within the video. I enjoyed as well the "What if... Wolverine led Alpha Flight".
Alpha Flight Series!
Alpha Flight was one of those teams that I've always wanted to check out, but never got the chance. I'd love to see a new version of the group.
I have issues 1-12 bagged and board in my comic collections, there is talk of a Wolverine/Hulk movie that is suppose to feature the Alpha Flight, fingers crossed.
Sadly it went downhill after Bryne left.
Who are Alpha Flight? A severely underrated title of the 1980s
I got issues 1-12, great comic.
Demetri Harlan I had most of those and was into the New Mutants as well
One my dude you got great taste in baseball. An ya alpha flight is a show I'd watch all day on Disney + . Not sure it's big screen worthy. But I love me some alpha
@@Kevinstw76 thanks. Let's go Mets. I agree I'd watch Alpha Flight on TV. It's not movie material but who knows.
It's has some things that they would struggle with.
Vindicator is eerily close to iron man so how to do something original without redoing something we've already seen.
Sasquatch could be bad ass or a very cheesy special effect.
My personal fav was box ⁵ and the second run of alpha flight. Hudson wife took over as vector. Purple girl, sasquatch who was a man and was turned into a woman. Puck and I think one other guy.
Since the Avengers has been somewhat run through, I could see a Alpha Flight brought into an X-Men movie in much the same way as you mentioned, and I discovered them, trying to take back Wolverine. This could give them a platform for their own movie run or series.
I will always remember issue #12. The death of "Vindicator"!
Love me some Alpha Flight
Would love to see an Alpha Flight movie in the MCU. As a kid I had the hots for Heather Hudson lol. I think she started my love of red heads lol 😄
Agreed and those glasses3
It was alluded to several times that Wolverine had a crush on Heather too!
@@petersaturday true, do his past interests in his nanny (Rose) James Howellet has a thing for redheads, this seems to further aggravated by the weapon X programming. In one issue of the X men, he admits that he had a erotic dream about Rose, a redhead from Ireland.
I had the comics, I would love to see a live action Movie!
Alpha flight second best team in the MCU another collected series that met demised from my parents who thought comic books was ruining my life. Ive always felt John Byrne took the idea of Vindicator from Space Ghost and swiped a cool canadian logo for the cape and bracelets.
They need to make a movie 🎬, that will be great 👍. I grew up reading 📚 that comic book 📖 in the 70.
Back in the early nineties I got back into comics for the first time in 15 years, alpha flight and excalibur were my favorite marvel books(Andrew not doreen orr)
Alpha Flight was one of my favorite Marvel teams, especially Puck!
I'd like Alpha Flight to be a TV show and FINALLY Vancouver can actually be Vancouver in a super hero show!
In the MCU they would do better as a streaming show since their story has fragments of reoccurring characters that are already and rumored to be entering the Main stream MCU movie side. Bridging Namor, XMen , Beta Ray Bill, Hulk & Sasquatch etc., etc.
Yes I would love to see Alaph-flight in the MCU hell yeah. Them going up against X-men or the Avengers or the ThunderBolts.....yeah.😆😬
I just recently heard about them from someone talking about them on TikTok. They are badass 🔥 they might take the spot as my #1 favorite superhero team in Marvel 🥰🥰😁😁!
They have battles with wolverine from the animated series
Even though I liked Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike, & Deadpool as villians in the Hulk vs Wolverine animated movie, I always wanted Alpha Flight to be the ones Bruce & Logan had to team-up against at the end. It'd be interesting to Wolverine escape the teams' grasp because they're too busy trying to contain the Hulk's rampage.
Blackton Obvious this is an excellent angle!
@@JLSComics Thanks. I think when the Hulk "cuts loose" Alpha Flight will have to call both Beta & Gamma Flight for backup (it'll be even more characters for Hulk to run thru--showing just how powerful he is).
Agree Alpha Flight was super cool,but Disney would ruin them.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but want Northstar technically the first gay superhero
He is the first gay superhero in a mainstream comic
Alpha Flight in Deadpool 3. Calling it. To some degree at least.
Wasted in first 15 minutes like Suicide Squad 2?
Puck was My Favorite.
haha, he's the shortest superhero..
@@l3lackStarLiner_GameBoy actually he's like 5' 9" he was cursed over 50 years ago which gives him his current shortened height but has also slowed down his life span somewhat. Thanks for the reply.
Ant Man could be shorter. Lol.
Love Alpha flight
Ive been reading immortal hulk and even know this is the first time alot of these characters are introduced to me personally its cool to see their original stories!
Read the comic as a child...since I'm an old carnuckle head...love the comic
Definitely deserve their own MCU series!!
Vindicator, Aurora, Northstar and Snowbird appear in a panel of Marvel Zombie Resurrection #3.
Kevin needs to bring you on if they ever make a movie.
Give Canada's superhero team some respect. 😀👍🇨🇦🇺🇸
FREAKING LOVE ALPHA FLIGHT!!!!!!
I like pretty much every character on this team, I especially love Northstar
Alpha flight was my first Marvel comic series I bought. -This series was responsible for getting me into Marvel comics in the first place. -The original John Byrne version Alpha flight was the best imo.
Me too. I thought they were all mutants which is why i bought it but marvel communicated so poorly and i think it was on purpose. They clearly wanted to capitalize on xmen and mutants and did a very bad job at letting us know they most of them arent. Its not hte end of the world but it greatly diminished my care. I remember the day #1 came out Judging by the cover and asking my comic shop owner, everyone thought it was another xmen family book
A movie would be great with right director
Them vs. Tundra!! The original story as a stand alone movie/stream. That way back stories can be fleshed out to bring the audience into the culture of Canadian folklore while deeply diversifying people in general.
They should make an Alpha Flight movie have an easter egg in Falcon & Winter Soldier.
There's an Alpha Flight Easter egg in Deadpool 2.
Always loved this series. Would LOVE to see them live action. One of the few teams that has a Native member!
I've always enjoyed AF and I even own a number of issues including the two where AF and Xmen go at it I wouldn't mind a movie That would be cool
bring them into the MCU
Fr
That it was they always say
I do want them to have their own MCU show on Disney+
Jordan Gavaris could play Northstar (he's a gay Canadian actor; he's best known as Felix from the amazing show "Orphan Black") In fact, I could see a lot of the actors from that show as roles in Alpha Flight.
Oh, golly, yes - here's another vote for an *_Orphan Black_* cast reunion *_Alpha Flight_* series. Excellent idea!
This is great. I collected the first series of Alpha Flight comics and the original X Men comics they debuted in but I sold them when I grew up lol. All the new stories are news to me. Thanks for the catch up.
Your welcome Canada! 🇨🇦 You'll get to have your own canadian version of the Avengers!
i think they are very different than the avengers as they have more diversity plus they aren't a public image team like the avengers -they do a lot of shady stuff.
#justlikecanada
@@JT5555 ahahah!
great video, I just got the Alpha Flight 6 inch action figure collection and they're great, thanks for this retrospective to accompany the arrival of my friends (I had Sasquatch from an earlier Marvel Legends edition, the apocalypse build a figure).
If this team does show up in the mcu, should they be played by actual Canadians?
I thought the same thing with the Spider-Man’s. 2 of the 3 are played by British actors. Wolverine is played by an Australian. I don’t think they care where the actors are from, as long as they do a great job.
Generally speaking it's irrelevant. Though for those from Quebec I think should be cast from actors from Quebec since that dialect is only found there.
A lot of people in Canada speak with the Broad American dialect so an American actor can pass for a Canadian and vice versa. The real key is casting an actor who fits the role and who doesn't have a US regional dialect
They didn't mention in the first movie when Wolverine is helped out by the old couple, the old man is actually guardian or whoever
Alpha Flight in the MCU?! Hellz yeah! Would be a good introduction for Wolverine.
Is nothing sacred?
"Agents of SHIELD" made mention of Canada's Department H in a couple of episodes
Good video
Marvel Phase 4 or 5 should start to diversify instead of sticking to all the OGs this is a good way to introduce the X Men into their MCU.
i have like 90 percent of the comments and they are pretty good through and through, they are kind of like the canadian version of west coast avengers quality comics
I read the first couple years of AF, and I actually really liked it (I was a sucker for almost any John Byrne books, really). But man! It got convoluted after I grew up. I can't imagine getting back into comics really. How the same heroes, like Spider-man can stick around as 20-somethings for 70 years stretches credulity more than super powers.
MAKE AN ALPHA FLIGHT ANIMATED SERIES OR MOVIE
Yes to both ideas.
This team might be 1 of the reasons why I lean more towards Marvel then DC. At least they directly say Canada exists in this universe. When was the last time anyone heard anything about the great white north in DC?
Well let's see. There's uh....or that time....how about...ya know, I think you've got a point there.
For those in the know, Alpha Flight showed up on the scene and on the very next page took a major L.
Alpha flight was one my favorite new comers back in the day
Very good video with lots of facts which I always enjoy
Brian Rebmann Thanks Brian!
I would love to see alpha flight in the mcu’s phase 5
Members I hope join the MCU:
BETA RAY BILL
GUARDIAN
PUCK
SASQUATCH
SHROUD
SNOWBIRD
SUNFIRE
VINDICATOR
WOLVERINE
love Puck very cool
Damn...I remember when this joint came out
Guardian can use that suit to teleport, using the rotation of the planet, thats bad ass. Puck wasnt a dwarf, he had Razor inside of him. As for a movie, it has to have Sasquatch, Puck, Shaman, Guardian, Nemesis, Wire, Diamond Lil, Madison Jefferies (as Box) facing off against Omega Flight(movie 1), the Mystic Beasts (movie 2) and Bedlam (movie 3) but Paste Pot Pete and Power Pack will probably make the MCU first.
Love howncandian the alpha flight is, ae.
You mean eh
If they did an AF movie, I'd prefer it to be after Hudson gets blown up when Heather distracts him after fighting Omega Flight; a year later she recruits Judd, a long-time and exceptional agent, already has Langkowski, Twoyoungmen, and oddly an unmoving Nemesis. SHIELD wants them gotten rid of so sends mutants to destroy their facility, Puck and Shaman run them off but Langkwoski gets mutated into Sasquatch. Heather refuses to use her Vindicator suit after what happened to James. They learn Joshua Lord, the Master, one of the richest people ever, was behind SHIELD's actions (partly) and is planning to make the world better as any utilitarian would, kill all the disabled, kill people judged as not worthy, people with wrong think, on and on murder, but raise everyone else up to be just like him, with collateral damage inevitable. AF learns from an ex-Lord employee, Roger Boxx, about his plans; no one will listen to them and they have to go on the run, abandoning Nemesis. They feel they must stop Lord and attack, the media is on his side, the government, SHIELD, mutants, so they have to expose him or else. They fight his guards, his metahumans, the army, and get to Lord but Lord defeats them and kills most (I know, I know, but read on). Puck hurts Lord in his armour but is saved by Nemesis and they get away.
In the second movie Puck forms a new team with Nemesis, Talisman, Box, Persuasion, and Wild Child and winds up defeating the Master and putting an end to his plan. Hooray!
I would have loved to see Alpha Flight as regular characters on Agents of Shield.
I remember an early episode of AOS mention they got assistance from Department H, and thinking "YEAH!", but then they were never mentioned again.
You know the show is ending in 6 episodes, right?
@@JTLittleWad Yes. That's why I said "I would have loved to see", not "I would like to see".
