No I can't see him glancing and even if that is the case I'm pretty sure it's a guide. Practice makes improvement and robs come a long way. Bet your bottom dollar he can spitball on any given day providing references, citations etc. I've seen Rob plenty of times on Periscope talking to his audience without guiding tools presenting them to the same high standard of these videos. Pointing that out does absolutely nothing to his credibility.
Liefield didn't even make Cable's origin. When Liefield first introduced Cable, he was a mystery man for a couple years. Other writers afterwards fleshed out his origins and made him more interesting and complex. Cable actually has one of the best origins in comics and his existence is linked to several other prominent characters.
Dude. I have been devouring your videos and had no idea you were not scripting these. Your knowledge about Comics is incredible. Thanks for sharing these stories
Last thing I knew about Cable was him being targeted by Deadpool after Strife starting using the favors he had after saving Deadpool's daughter and the family that had adopted her, with him escaping after a failed attempt at taking Strife's life.
For the past two or three weeks I've been bingeing literally dozens of your videos every since I found this channel. Surprisingly out of all of that this is the first time I've seen you in front of the camera. It's pretty cool to finally have a face to go with the voice (I thought you'd be older! 😳 🤣)... Nice to finally *meet* you bro! I'm loving the content so very many muches! Peace and love bro! 😁👍
Rob, I feel like you give the most in-depth knowledge on marvel comics and the MCU. Keep it coming. I need something new from you, maybe a shuri/iron man avengers 4 theories...i love when you give your theories because it sounds almost right from the scripts lol
Been watching your channel for awhile now, I like how you’ve gradually updated the style of your channel without it coming off as a complete reboot, very marvel of you lol
I love how you go unscripted, it shows how much insight you have and how much you love comics, if I hadn’t found this video I wouldn’t have known most of them were unscripted! You’re a legend man 💯
Saw it yesterday at the red carpet screening. Way better then the first one. The Easter eggs are phenomenal, and the 4th wall jokes were on point. A must see.
The way you do your videos now are way better then some of your earlier work. You used to repeat the same lines like "what we see here..." OMG that used to be so annoying but now your channel is one of my favs and i love your work man keep up the good job.
Just wanted to say you're the main reason I've started getting into comics and watching your videos have been there for me for a long time now :) keep it up bro :)
King Jaylen He is also the ilegitimate son of DIO Brando before he got his head cutoff. He sent his sperm into the future impregnating Batman's wife with the early stages of the power of The World. So in turn Cable's y chromosomes belongs in the past while his x chromosome's from the future. And he got Death's phone number 'cause why not doot Thanos' spoopy sweety.
44 years old, I used to collect comics in the 80s -90s. Recently just got back into it. Thank you so much for the video. Cable was always an awesome character. Subbed man! Hey also nice hat, we suck this year lol hopefully we can turn it around
I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. They are very insightful and well researched. I have become caught up with the day to day grind for the past 10 years and haven't picked up a comic book in quite a while. This video showed me how much I have missed out on the characters I grew up with and have loved. I need to catch up! It's time to "marathon" some comic books! Thanks for the inspiration to get back to the characters I didn't realize I missed and loved so much!
Can somebody help me answer this out of topic question? I wasnt sure where to ask so.. Why doesnt Tony Stark make a Iron Man armor made out of vibranium?
I absolutely love your videos unscripted you have so much comic history in your head and it comes out in a funny random way. You get the point across keep it up man.
You are the first station i subscribed to and Still my Favorite. My favorite part of your production is the fact that you include involved material. Pics from the tales your telling. Clips and fragments from the comix. Thanx for doin what you Do
Yeah definitely exited to learn more on cable, been looking forward to Deadpool 2 💯💯💯✌🏻 keep up the great work, love your content and channel. New sub forsure. 😇
I love the way you do your videos right off the top of your head and it shows your passion that you have for comics. I learned a lot watching your videos so keep up the good work man
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but does anyone remember Tyler Dayspring aka Genesis? He was the adopted son of Cable and once tried bonding adamantium onto Wolverine, but failed (Wolverine 1st series #100.) Information on this character is hard to find unless a person really looks for it.
dayum! Rob thank you. I lost touch with comics in 96 but I'm a big X anything fan. i learn a lot from your vids. i appreciate the time you put into them. thanx bro
they werent all killed off. Skin... who didnt definitely didnt have the making of an omega level unless he was a one piece character. Synch definitely did have the making of one. Someone who could synchronize with and/or shutdown abilities from close and long range. Jubilee's development was getting kinda up there in the dangerous zone. But she's now a vampire babysitter. M, who was like a female version of Gladiator who could have easily proved to be stronger if she wanted herself to be. New M was kind of a disappointed and definite downgrade in power level. Mondo(or better yet the self-made clone/spawn of Mondo), could have been Marvel's real counterpart to Swampthing. Husk was interesting. They were pushing her to being able to be able to copy anyone including their powers.
Ian-Devon Lewis my point is the reason you attempted to disqualify Rachel would disqualify 90% of the characters out there. Who hasn't died in comics at this point? And yes I was a fan of Generation X but I really don't see how dragging all of that into this discussion is remotely Germain
ROB, thanks for all your super awesome explanation videos! You are by far the most knowledgeable comic book authority I have heard. And for your efforts, I have clicked on the ad videos that pop up on your videos, so you'll get paid more! Hahah. Seriously I do. Thanks again!
Note: i tried to see this video and got ads for 30 minutes. I finally had to force it. I hope its good. I actually remember that stuff. Thank You. It was good
I love the bit at the beginning of your videos about making sure to hit the bell so we "never miss out on (your) sexy voice." Because you know, you're not wrong about that.
As a long time subscriber I can say your unscripted content is way more entertaining. Your personality shines more. Your scripted videos are fine but can be flat at times since everything is so linear. Anyway love your stuff rob
Do your channel however you wish. I do want to say though... personally, what made me subscribe is that your scripted videos are like sitting and speed reading comics with you narrating key points. Which to me is very enjoyable. Your joy and excitement of comics still comes out, but I find myself able to experience many comics through your channel that I have not read fairly thoroughly through your scripted and in depth videos. That is why I subbed. Watching you just sit and talk about them with comic panels tossed in from time to time, doesn't appeal to me as much. Your knowledge is impressive, but I thought this channel was more about educating comic fans on characters and story lines they may not have the time to invest in catching up on. And the best way to do that for us is to experience the comic with you. Through the panels AND your sexy voice. Which I really enjoy and have enjoyed. So in closing, mad respect, just wanted to offer a perspective based on the other side of the coin. I may be in the minority here, but I enjoyed the in depth scripted videos walking us through the comic panels. I get it is more work on the editing, but yeah. Thanks for reading and thanks for your channel it has been very educational and entertaining.
Honestly man, it had never even crossed my mind you go straight from the dome and don't use a set-in-stone script, bc honestly it's that good bro. It seems like it comes pretty natural, and you clearly have the knowledge on lock so it's no issue for you to just tackle a subject coherently. I feel like using a script would actuallu hurt your videos, bc your style is suited so well to freeform discussion. Ultimately, it all comes down to the individual. Some channels I watch clearly use set scripts (I mean where they don't seem to deviate AT ALL from what they've prepared) and it works for them. Some rely on scripts yet it just falls flat and is unrelentingly boring. Some content creators try to dive in and improvise, and it couldn't be more apparent they really NEED to use scripts lol. Your style & format works great, keep it up! 👍👍👍
I'd love to see these people that down your video go ahead and make their own channels and try to explain the Origins of comic characters as good and quick as you do it, btw another great video
Robb i love all of your videos!! i've been following your vids since the first days of your civl war playlist c: happy to see how much your channel has grown!
Rob, you perfectly explained at the end there why Marvel comics have not been fun to read for about 20 years. I hope some editor will listen to this and get back to high octane mile a minute action stories.
Rob. I love you and your channel man. I need you to know this though, watching this video basically helped me create a new drinking game. 'Basically, it's like this', is simple, pick one of your videos and every time you say basically, we have to drink, basically the point is to get people incredibly intoxicated. Bonus drinks are consumed when you say 'basically' and 'it's like this' in the same sentence. I may end up using a version where some players are on team 'basically' and others are on team 'it's like this.' I don't drink anymore, but for this I might need to come out of retirement, basically for research purposes.
I like your videos unscribed too because when they were you always had a monotone voice. But now I really feel more of a passion for this stuff in your voice without a scripted
I remember when you used to do them scripted and since you've made the transition, it comes off so much better and your knowledge is on point! 👊🏾
Buxi I tho
Buxi you can CLEARLY see him constantly glancing at a script of some form.
No I can't see him glancing and even if that is the case I'm pretty sure it's a guide.
Practice makes improvement and robs come a long way.
Bet your bottom dollar he can spitball on any given day providing references, citations etc.
I've seen Rob plenty of times on Periscope talking to his audience without guiding tools presenting them to the same high standard of these videos.
Pointing that out does absolutely nothing to his credibility.
Buxi guide script whatever.. I don't like being lied to or taken as a fool when it's clear.
Charlie Durham 1 you have no proof!
2 you don't have to watch his channel...
Cable has probably one of the most overcomplicated backgrounds in Marvel comics.
Hey, that's what happens when you get Liefeld on there. Bad 90s stuff.
Also feet
Read chronologically. It clears out in no time i swear to god
You clearly never seen Selene if you this Cable origin is over complicated.
Liefield didn't even make Cable's origin. When Liefield first introduced Cable, he was a mystery man for a couple years. Other writers afterwards fleshed out his origins and made him more interesting and complex. Cable actually has one of the best origins in comics and his existence is linked to several other prominent characters.
Overcomplicated background?
*Psylocke entered the chat*
Dude. I have been devouring your videos and had no idea you were not scripting these. Your knowledge about Comics is incredible. Thanks for sharing these stories
TLDW: He's cyclops son from the future and he, magneto, storm, and sentinel are all top tier MvC2 picks.
*Rob(ComicsExplained): The youtuber we never asked for, but the youtuber we always needed.*
BunchoStuff Why?...
BunchoStuff y u do dis?
BunchoStuff plz be nice 😊
People pls read it properly he's complimenting Rob, it's clear from the words typed that it in no way shape or form implies disrespect.
Dimitri Patakos plz be hateful🤬
Rob!!! Cable is one of my favorite characters all time!! You crushed this video especially for no script. Great content!!
I enjoy your unscripted channel because it feels like we're having a conversation instead of being 'told something'.
Keep it up Rob!
Dude you need to do a comic book collection... what’s the word? Tour? Show and tell? Show us your comics 😂
I'm interested in seeing it
I concur! Show yo shit homie!!! :) Raw..? Graded? What's in your long box!?
Dude
@B. Tisdale dude

Who’s here after latest xmen 97 episode
Me
Only you loser
ME
Ha ha me too
This is a great added format for your channel. I enjoy the face time, feels more relaxed and friendly. A nice change of pace.
Never script your videos, Rob. Your channel is unique
I appreciate you Rob. Going thru some old vids and I'm getting nostalgia
Last thing I knew about Cable was him being targeted by Deadpool after Strife starting using the favors he had after saving Deadpool's daughter and the family that had adopted her, with him escaping after a failed attempt at taking Strife's life.
For the past two or three weeks I've been bingeing literally dozens of your videos every since I found this channel. Surprisingly out of all of that this is the first time I've seen you in front of the camera. It's pretty cool to finally have a face to go with the voice (I thought you'd be older! 😳 🤣)... Nice to finally *meet* you bro! I'm loving the content so very many muches! Peace and love bro! 😁👍
13:26 Huh, seems like Deadpool and Ryan Reynolds were meant to be
Rob, I feel like you give the most in-depth knowledge on marvel comics and the MCU. Keep it coming. I need something new from you, maybe a shuri/iron man avengers 4 theories...i love when you give your theories because it sounds almost right from the scripts lol
No scripts needed, you're doing great! Love this channel.
Wow your knowledge is incredible, the fact these videos are unscripted, I take my hat off to you. Absolutely awesome.
0:35 No script needed your channel is AWESOME
Been watching your channel for awhile now, I like how you’ve gradually updated the style of your channel without it coming off as a complete reboot, very marvel of you lol
I love how you go unscripted, it shows how much insight you have and how much you love comics, if I hadn’t found this video I wouldn’t have known most of them were unscripted! You’re a legend man 💯
Keep freestyling Rob, love your channel
Saw it yesterday at the red carpet screening. Way better then the first one. The Easter eggs are phenomenal, and the 4th wall jokes were on point. A must see.
Deadpool with Infinity Gauntlet
vs
Bugs Bunny
"Let's just say I know the right people."
- Deadpool
Thanks guys, I liked the original comment but your two responses made it GREAT. Lol
The way you do your videos now are way better then some of your earlier work. You used to repeat the same lines like "what we see here..." OMG that used to be so annoying but now your channel is one of my favs and i love your work man keep up the good job.
Just wanted to say you're the main reason I've started getting into comics and watching your videos have been there for me for a long time now :) keep it up bro :)
Cable is the son of Batman born in the year 2099 after the Skrull War crisis on Infinite Battleworld.
There
King Jaylen your the worst kinda person 😂
King Jaylen He is also the ilegitimate son of DIO Brando before he got his head cutoff. He sent his sperm into the future impregnating Batman's wife with the early stages of the power of The World. So in turn Cable's y chromosomes belongs in the past while his x chromosome's from the future. And he got Death's phone number 'cause why not doot Thanos' spoopy sweety.
Saúl Ortiz Rivera never mind YOUR the worst kinda person
You forgot that he was born in Wakanda! Brah! Come on.
seems legit...
44 years old, I used to collect comics in the 80s -90s. Recently just got back into it. Thank you so much for the video. Cable was always an awesome character. Subbed man! Hey also nice hat, we suck this year lol hopefully we can turn it around
You don’t need to script anything because you’re obviously so passionate about what you’re talking about, it’s genuinely great to listen to
I really appreciate and enjoy your videos. They are very insightful and well researched.
I have become caught up with the day to day grind for the past 10 years and haven't picked up a comic book in quite a while. This video showed me how much I have missed out on the characters I grew up with and have loved. I need to catch up! It's time to "marathon" some comic books!
Thanks for the inspiration to get back to the characters I didn't realize I missed and loved so much!
i was actually surprised when you said you were not scripting your videos, it really shows how much you know about this stuff. impressive!
Can somebody help me answer this out of topic question?
I wasnt sure where to ask so..
Why doesnt Tony Stark make a Iron Man armor made out of vibranium?
I absolutely love your videos unscripted you have so much comic history in your head and it comes out in a funny random way. You get the point across keep it up man.
I know this is an old comment but I can’t begin to thank u guys enough for all of the content, specifically u rob. U are absolutely amazing my friend
Yeah go over his powers and who xman is. There's also a part in cable and deadpool where cable is at the height of his powers
love the channel and the format keep it up
You are the first station i subscribed to and Still my Favorite. My favorite part of your production is the fact that you include involved material. Pics from the tales your telling. Clips and fragments from the comix. Thanx for doin what you Do
I have never read a single comic book but I know more than anyone I meet about comics because of you! Keep up the good work appreciate ya
Yeah definitely exited to learn more on cable, been looking forward to Deadpool 2 💯💯💯✌🏻 keep up the great work, love your content and channel. New sub forsure. 😇
I love the way you do your videos right off the top of your head and it shows your passion that you have for comics. I learned a lot watching your videos so keep up the good work man
Never script your videos. You're awesome and have a great creative spirit. Keep doing you man.
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but does anyone remember Tyler Dayspring aka Genesis? He was the adopted son of Cable and once tried bonding adamantium onto Wolverine, but failed (Wolverine 1st series #100.) Information on this character is hard to find unless a person really looks for it.
I know you cannot possibly read all these but your videos are quite enjoyable.
Honestly I really prefer when the videos are part face cam and part comic panels. I like seeing Rob!😩
we all know why were here... XMEN IS BACK BABY!!!
dayum! Rob thank you. I lost touch with comics in 96 but I'm a big X anything fan. i learn a lot from your vids. i appreciate the time you put into them. thanx bro
Your voice is amazing and to focus it on how you do is truly awesome
Hey Rob can we get an Omega Level video on Rachel Summers (Phoenix 2) please.
Or a would-be Omega Levels, if they didnt get left behind or killed off. IE Generation X team
Ian-Devon Lewis if you are going to use the criteria of a character never having been killed then you're going to have an awfully small list
they werent all killed off. Skin... who didnt definitely didnt have the making of an omega level unless he was a one piece character. Synch definitely did have the making of one. Someone who could synchronize with and/or shutdown abilities from close and long range. Jubilee's development was getting kinda up there in the dangerous zone. But she's now a vampire babysitter. M, who was like a female version of Gladiator who could have easily proved to be stronger if she wanted herself to be. New M was kind of a disappointed and definite downgrade in power level. Mondo(or better yet the self-made clone/spawn of Mondo), could have been Marvel's real counterpart to Swampthing. Husk was interesting. They were pushing her to being able to be able to copy anyone including their powers.
I just miss Generation X... such a miss opportunity for an underrated team led by someone who became one of the strongest telepaths.
Ian-Devon Lewis my point is the reason you attempted to disqualify Rachel would disqualify 90% of the characters out there. Who hasn't died in comics at this point? And yes I was a fan of Generation X but I really don't see how dragging all of that into this discussion is remotely Germain
I like the way you do it. that's what set you apart from everyone else. you are the encyclopedia of comic book knowledge 😂😂
Rob your style of video is awesome, half the fun is listening to you do this off the top of your head. Do what you do robcore fan 4 life!
Hey Rob gotta question, how many comics have you read, if you can give an estimate. Dude knows so much, thanks.
Great video! and continue with the ad lib format. Its quite impressive you are able to pull all this information off the top of your head.
ROB, thanks for all your super awesome explanation videos! You are by far the most knowledgeable comic book authority I have heard. And for your efforts, I have clicked on the ad videos that pop up on your videos, so you'll get paid more! Hahah. Seriously I do. Thanks again!
I think this is the third and most successful attempt at explaining mutants post House of M, cheers Rob to another 4 years of your videos!
EXCELLENT recap Rob! And surprisingly concise considering the mess of backstory you had to untangle!
Wolverine, Cable, Domino are some of my favorite characters.
Dope breakdown. Had to hit the sub button, im pretty hyped on this channel.
Note: i tried to see this video and got ads for 30 minutes. I finally had to force it. I hope its good. I actually remember that stuff. Thank You. It was good
I love the bit at the beginning of your videos about making sure to hit the bell so we "never miss out on (your) sexy voice." Because you know, you're not wrong about that.
VIPER!
.
HYPER!
.
im ready!
I'm glad your videos aren't scripted. It feels more personal. Not in a weird way.
I swear, Rob. You’re like the Neil deGrasse Tyson of comic books.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is the Rob of Astronomy
Mutant Jesus Cable will always be my favorite character
Great video it could have been better I was hoping you explained his powers and tell a couple of his feats im trying to put ppl on cable
I'd love a Dredd-like Cable movie.
Rob has tried simplifying Cable's complex origin on multiple occasions, this is his best attempt and, perhaps, success in doing so thusfar.
This is the most comprehensive video on Cable Good Job Rob！
As a long time subscriber I can say your unscripted content is way more entertaining. Your personality shines more. Your scripted videos are fine but can be flat at times since everything is so linear. Anyway love your stuff rob
I remember when the videos had comic panels and artwork with Robs voice, that was nice.
You should really finish all hail megatron i really enjoyed that video
Rob...!! @ 8:38 in.. you got a big ole fly buzzing around!
I'm REALLY glad I watched this. Jean Grey dieing 14 times didn't make sense to me. This definitely filled in a lot of blanks
Do your channel however you wish. I do want to say though... personally, what made me subscribe is that your scripted videos are like sitting and speed reading comics with you narrating key points. Which to me is very enjoyable.

This answered a couple of questions I've always wonder. Thanks rob
Great commentary. Helped me catch up from my reading of Cable early X-force days.
audible don't got shit on you and comicstorian love you guys keep on doing what y'all do I appreciate it
I love how informative these videos are.
I love these unscripted explained videos Rob!! Well done and engaging.
You should read Cable's current run, it's a fun read and imo gets *REALLY* good in issue 155
Honestly man, it had never even crossed my mind you go straight from the dome and don't use a set-in-stone script, bc honestly it's that good bro. It seems like it comes pretty natural, and you clearly have the knowledge on lock so it's no issue for you to just tackle a subject coherently. I feel like using a script would actuallu hurt your videos, bc your style is suited so well to freeform discussion.
Ultimately, it all comes down to the individual. Some channels I watch clearly use set scripts (I mean where they don't seem to deviate AT ALL from what they've prepared) and it works for them.

Robb i love all of your videos!! i've been following your vids since the first days of your civl war playlist c: happy to see how much your channel has grown!
Your videos are still entertaining, and amazing as usual and I always learn something new for watching your videos
great video! do you ever interact with random people then discuss comics and astound them? because id be like wtf this man is my hero.
Rob, you perfectly explained at the end there why Marvel comics have not been fun to read for about 20 years. I hope some editor will listen to this and get back to high octane mile a minute action stories.
I highly enjoy your way of doing the on camera comic chats. I feels like y he talking to me. Keep it up sir
You rock dog. I have been listening to you for a min. Keep it up.
Rob. I love you and your channel man. I need you to know this though, watching this video basically helped me create a new drinking game. 'Basically, it's like this', is simple, pick one of your videos and every time you say basically, we have to drink, basically the point is to get people incredibly intoxicated. Bonus drinks are consumed when you say 'basically' and 'it's like this' in the same sentence. I may end up using a version where some players are on team 'basically' and others are on team 'it's like this.' I don't drink anymore, but for this I might need to come out of retirement, basically for research purposes.
Jeph Loeb Cable was the best. Great vid!
I like your videos unscribed too because when they were you always had a monotone voice. But now I really feel more of a passion for this stuff in your voice without a scripted
It’s cool that you have this wealth of knowledge and can you do it unscripted… but I think the information fire hose lacks focus
question: which is the best cable comic in your opinion?
Clod Vi yes
Well played sir. Well played. This is very impressive. Awesome. Keep them coming
Love all your videos...stopped reading after Civil War 1, been using them to catch up. YOU ARE AWESOME. Thank you for these.
Hi Rob, big fan of your work here. Anyway, may i ask if you can do a summary of Cable vs Silver Surfer? Thanks! 🍻
Do you do podcasts? I would love to listen to these while I work, but I can’t keep RUclips open the whole time.
Great video Rob. Damn , you are dropping some LBS. Nice work man!
“The names Cable, Remember it”
You always do such a great job. Keep up the awesome work! Please keep the info flowing!!
Never go scripted. This is the best content on the web. Flawed and all
