There's an issue of Planet Hulk where Caiera asks Hulk to show her the real him and Hulk reverts to Bruce. The two embrace and it shows how Caiera was the perfect person for both Hulk and Bruce. It all cascades into Hulk and Bruce becoming pretty much one person. Their goals and feelings align and they lose that split personality and become one. While Caiera is fridged, I think this is one of the few times it actually works. As you read the story, Hulk finally gets to be happy, but you have this lingering doubt hanging above your head. You know the Hulk can never be happy. You know that all of this will end, but you really don't want it to. Caiera always felt like a person, which is another reason this works so well. She doesn't feel like she was invented to die.
This is why I think her ability really suits her. Because she protects the weak Bruce Banner (who would be a 1 cost if he was in the game) and the powerful Hulk (who is a 6 cost)
Yeah I hate that anyone automatically calls someone dying to motivate someone"fridging" as that's not what her death was. I swear that term is too vague
That's what I liked about Shelly in "The Crow" and Nell from "The Haunting of Hill House." They're more that just "the dead girl," through flashbacks we get to know them as people.
Yo she was totally fridged, and I feel like that sweet scene of her and hulk/bruce came out of nowhere. I think you can fill in a nice, deep romance story in your head but Pak didn’t write one by any means. She’s like “sad warrior good at stuff” and her character interactions vanish as soon as she’s a little less sad, and then she explodes
I've been saying since I started playing this game that they should add a baseball card style description for each card that shows a character's first appearance, powers, weakness, allies, rivals, etc.
You did it! I loved this idea. I don’t know very much of comic books but I love the characters, marvel snap, and your videos. This series is a 10/10 for me
This is a niche from marvel snap that I’ve been hoping someone would fill cause as someone who knows a decent amount about the comics but only a surface level knowledge about things like the savage land characters and world war hulk. I’m glad thats you cause I already love your content. I’m already invested in this series, hope you show up in a cozy video or something like that soon.
Long time Snap player and Nando watcher. I love this idea for a series! I’d love an episode on Snap characters with deep-cut live action portrayals, like Blob, Magik, Sunspot, and Cloak and Dagger
It would be cool if you found a way to covered why existing cards are relevant like why a Silver Surfer variant was in the battle pass and what SS's role was in planet hulk.
Gotta say, I'm so glad you started making these videos. Writing spec scripts based on comics that haven't been adapted yet usually means there are some obscure characters showing up, like Ezekiel Stane, Caiera, or Cannonball. These videos are very helpful, thank you Mr. Cut.
My favorite thing they ever did with Skaar was when a depowered Bruce was training him to kill the Hulk when he inevitably returned. So there were a bunch of issues where Bruce would basically trick classic Hulk villains into fighting Skaar the one where he and Wolverine get their kids (Skaar and Daken) to fight is especially fun.
I just started playing this game, basically cus you hipped it up so good that you convinced me. Since you released that video I’ve been nonstop playing, to a point that I’m thinking of putting a time limit on the app. Really thank you and amazing recondition
Surprised this doesn’t have more views! The quality of this video is really great especially with all the info and art you’ve showcased. I know how much work it can be to sift through to find the exact page you’re referencing and I love seeing some of these stories or what ifs that I’ve missed. Also who was the artist on that Skaar and Bruce story? Looks amazing wish more comic books had that polished look
10/10 LOVE THE COMICS-TO-CARD EVALUATION BITS and is something i completely forgot i loved learning in M:tG sets (and i dont even play magic -- and i know marvel lore better) so please more or this tyvm
This is a great topic for videos. I wanted snapers on RUclips to show more connection to the comics and it was definitely missed for me at least, as someone who reads a lot of niche issues and know these outlier characters. I hope you keep on doing those!
I need brotha to do some vids like this for Marvel’s Contest of Champions. Love that game and I constantly catch myself looking up these crazy looking characters, especially when they ask which characters they should add next
I love this, i think this is a brilliant idea and i hioe you can do it for as long as possible I can use this to introduce my friend to these characters and storylines And there are some characters in Snap that i dont know yet Really good video man keep it up
Fun little format, I had a friend who would regale me in Marvel history when we play Marvel SAGA. So hearing this from a dedicated fan is quite amusing, I hope folks enjoy it a lot! Originally watched on Nebula but commenting here for both the algorithms as well to tell you looking forward to next one with one of Marvel's early furry characters, next time true believers!
This is a great series idea would love if you could keep this up as someone who enjoys marvel and is aware of the deeper characters but would love to know more
This was fun. I had assumed the MCU was a decades long build up to the release of Marvel Snap. Much like when Blizzard spent 10 years making a MMO just to promote Hearthstone.
Recently started getting back into Snap, but I am most looking forward to the comic recommendations. I have become addicted to the medium, and seeing someone try getting more people into comics is great. Hell, I got 2 of my coworkers into comics last year.
I’d love to hear more talk on silver surfers variant! Been super excited for this show, I’d love to know about every variant relating to the topic, maybe do a Jim lee episode!
Couple of quick corrections: at one point you say The Incredible Hulk when I believe you mean World War Hulk, and also, it’s Betty Ross. Great video, though!
Abom exists in Snap! (Assuming it's the same Abomination you were talking about.... I don't know the whole comics lore) he's a 5 cost vanilla 9 power card.
So A-Bomb and Abomination are different guys. Abomination is Emil Blonsly, a soldier who got exposed to gamma rays and became a big evil green lizard guy. A-Bomb is Rick Jones, Hulk's best human friend who was kidnapped by villains and turned into a big blue armored lizard guy who is mostly good.
i think this video needs a disclaimer for non-snap players that it’s an egregiously expensive game 😂 super fun, probably the best card game of all time. but sadly i would not recommend picking it up in its current state

They got them in a lot of marvel games. Just a quick bio that’s usually a paragraph or 2
As a Marvel Snap player who hasn't read any of the comics, this was super fun and informative to watch.
You did it! I loved this idea. I don’t know very much of comic books but I love the characters, marvel snap, and your videos. This series is a 10/10 for me

Would love a video on Snap's strongest card, Jeff the Baby Land Shark.
As a Nando fan and Marvel SNAP enjoyer, this is a crossover I didn’t know I needed.

This is such a fantastic idea. More Marvel Snap content plz. Cozy collab when

Comic fanatic here. Thank you for naming the entire creative team for the Hulk run. It's so important.
So happy someone’s finally doing this concept!
I love this video so much. Thank you for filling in the gaps of these characters. It makes me love playing Snap even more!
i’ve been waiting for someone to do a snap lore series forever!! keep it up nando!!
They actually did make an animated Planet Hulk movie adaptation back in the early 2010s. I seem to remember liking it quite a bit.
I'm a snap addict and I just got Caiera and Skaar. It will be very fun to finally know their lore.
Very fun watch! You could even do the opposite format of this, take a deck and come up with circumstances that would bring 12 characters together!
My favorite thing they ever did with Skaar was when a depowered Bruce was training him to kill the Hulk when he inevitably returned. So there were a bunch of issues where Bruce would basically trick classic Hulk villains into fighting Skaar the one where he and Wolverine get their kids (Skaar and Daken) to fight is especially fun.

Calling it now, you'll collab with Second Dinner and make some sponsored videos for them. You got this!
As a fan of snap, you have made yourself a new subscriber 👍🏽 I appreciate this series so much! Keep it coming🎉
I was honestly so excited when I saw you made a marvel snap video
This was great Nando please continue to do more!
10/10 LOVE THE COMICS-TO-CARD EVALUATION BITS and is something i completely forgot i loved learning in M:tG sets (and i dont even play magic -- and i know marvel lore better) so please more or this tyvm

i really like this video concept, gives a nice reminder to the character
I love this, i think this is a brilliant idea and i hioe you can do it for as long as possible
I can use this to introduce my friend to these characters and storylines
And there are some characters in Snap that i dont know yet
Really good video man keep it up
This series might actually get me to download this app.
Fun little format, I had a friend who would regale me in Marvel history when we play Marvel SAGA.
So hearing this from a dedicated fan is quite amusing, I hope folks enjoy it a lot! Originally watched on Nebula but commenting here for both the algorithms as well to tell you looking forward to next one with one of Marvel's early furry characters, next time true believers!
This is a great series idea would love if you could keep this up as someone who enjoys marvel and is aware of the deeper characters but would love to know more
When you start getting into the previously released cards you could maybe do videos by their marvel snap archetype ie destroy, discard etc
I really enjoyed this and definitely want more videos like this.
I hope you do more of these
Love this! Looking forward to the next one!
A good new series 👏 G'job, sir Nando.
Marvel Snap should be soon sponsoring cause this is great
Great explanation of Caiera
Cant wait for more content like this!
Bro I was looking for something like this where people explain how the card's power associates with these characters
Omg please start doing more marvel snap content!!!
More of this Nando! Loved it. Thank you!
I just got into Snap and... well I'm bad but I enjoy it and I enjoy these videos!
Really great idea. Avid Snap player, but something missing from the game is a lack of info about the characters - should be some info on each card!
WHAT IVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!
phenomenal & unique video, keep it up
This was fun.
I had assumed the MCU was a decades long build up to the release of Marvel Snap. Much like when Blizzard spent 10 years making a MMO just to promote Hearthstone.
This was actually really interesting and I'm looking forward to more. Also I want to play Marvel Snap now XD
I already love this series. Thanks Nando!
Can't wait to see more of this, great stuff!
This is a cool concept, but I'd love to see a reverse "what is Marvel Snap" for Marvel Fans who didn't get into Snap
Can’t wait for more of the vids, February will be sweet!
Wow I didn’t know you played snap, This is a cool series
Yaaaas I love this, Nando 🎉
Yes please more of this
~ 18:45 we already have abomination, he's the vanilla 5/9
Recently started getting back into Snap, but I am most looking forward to the comic recommendations. I have become addicted to the medium, and seeing someone try getting more people into comics is great. Hell, I got 2 of my coworkers into comics last year.
Yeah!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a good video idea!
If you can, I would love to see some of the old seasons too!
Great idea for a new thing! ❤️
Great content. Would love for episodes about characters that are already in the game
Great video 🎉 Hope the series will continue
It's funny because Miek means sword in a few Slavic languages. Seems like the character was always intended to be sword based.
Loved this video
I so much hope dig this sort of videos.
I knew what these three were, but for the next I only know BRB.
I’d love to hear more talk on silver surfers variant! Been super excited for this show, I’d love to know about every variant relating to the topic, maybe do a Jim lee episode!
Love this!
Great vid bro
Couple of quick corrections: at one point you say The Incredible Hulk when I believe you mean World War Hulk, and also, it’s Betty Ross. Great video, though!

@@thenandocut gotcha! I thought you were just abbreviating the Emil Abomination! Good to know, thanks!
Have you seen the Planet Hulk animated movie? It's pretty fun!
If you go back to older cards, can you please explain how Iron Lad’s power connects to the lore?
Are you going to make videos about already existing cards too?
Moreeeeee loreee
Yes yes y'all, it's happening.
Ngl i didn’t care to watch this until the title change
Marvel snap nando vids are a must🤌🏽🔥
Woot!
Damian Wayne is awesome
can we talk about how in snap, rogue and gambit don’t work in synergy?? like wtf
I haven’t played marvel snap in a year because it was too addictive and this video almost made me relapse
i think this video needs a disclaimer for non-snap players that it’s an egregiously expensive game 😂 super fun, probably the best card game of all time. but sadly i would not recommend picking it up in its current state
Are there physical Marvel Snap cards?
🎉🎉
LETSGO
Calling him Axe Boneman instead of Axeman Bone made me LOL for some reason.
