Back in 2017 I moved to a new town for a job and I didn't know a soul. I wanted to get caught up on comic book so I looked for a channel and Comics Explained was the first I tried. I have been a huge fan since then and I don't go a day without checking for your content. Listening to your content helped me through a very isolated and lonely part of my life. What you do is much more than just talk about comics, and I hope all the great things in life happen to you. Thank you Rob.
I knew it was Gor the second he called gods "all the same". In the comics Gor is a show-stopper. He killed hundreds of gods and kept stacking power till he rewrote reality and made a new god killing bomb.
I love this channel- I'm not much of a comics guy, and even less the superhero genre of comics, but the enthusiasm and perspective here is contagious. It actually makes me want to pick up a few titles to try.
Between all mythologies brother so fuckin many you wouldnt believe it almost every era had several religions that had numerous gods, counting every pantheon i know of like 7 pantheons but thats already over 100 gods big and small

Jean Grey Phoenix is just amazing because her emotions is what makes her the beautiful and powerful. Seem like all the fight she gonna take. SHE DOES NOT WANT TO BEAT THEM, BUT TO SAVE THEM. She believes everyone has a story❤ that’s beautiful
I hope the Justice League gets more Stories like that because that's what you do with characters who are that powerful: they save everyone, they fix problems, and they turn Tragedies into Triumphs.
Been telling you to cover this. Phoenix series have been great so far. I like the slow story building. Instead of Jean just erasing or creating everything, she is actually trying be a hero rather than a God. They are definitely building up to something of a great payoff.
This channel got me into reading Marvel comics. I scroll and try to see every day if there's new content to watch with my morning coffee. Happy to see you keep doing what you love, Rob! ✨
Wow, this breakdown was absolutely epic! The introduction of Paricus and the level of power he's bringing to the table is crazy, especially with his dark god status. I loved how Jean Grey's internal struggle with the Phoenix Force is being portrayed-it's like a ticking time bomb! And that cliffhanger with Gorr the God Butcher? Insane! Can't wait to see how the Phoenix will handle that fight, especially with the stakes so high. Thanks for keeping us hyped with these detailed comic updates!
Rob dropping real wisdom is always dope! So many comics shows online seem like they're run by folks who only read wikis and have never actually picked up a book, this man however might as well have a doctorate in comics philosophy! Thank you!!!
I absolutely love Gorr The God Butcher! Gorr The God Butcher is one of the best villains ever!!! I love that Marvel is bringing him back and keeping him relevant where he kills the Phenox and up there with other Gods like Thor and all other gods in Marvel and that they are not throwing him away as a one time villain who had his moment and he is not fodder that will always be defeated. I love that he is still strong and relevant, and that he could possibly be the only one to defeat Knull and Meridius and King in Black Eddie Brock and Dylan Brock, and maybe even King in Crimson Carnage. Gorr is definitely up there. I hope that they keep Gorr around and keep him like this as a strong and relevant threat that kills Gods and I'd not thrown away or made into fodder, because he is one of the best villains of all time.
Perikiss, as you said when arriving on this planet and saying 'you have pain', reminded me of Star Trek Undiscovered Country, where Sybok )Spock brother) 'frees' these beings from their pains. Lol
I like it. Jean is human and makes human "mistakes" because of her empathy and her limited, mortal worldview. IF you take that away from her though, she immediately becomes a God of Fire with no care for consequence and a fundamentally dehumanizing worldview. They're really talking about what it means to be a God.
Gotta love listening to Rob while doing my mundane life things. Lovely soothing voice PLUS getting to hear him get excited at the best parts of a comic book equals pure brain bliss for me!
Ok this 1 got me intrigued. Like so many running stories. Gorr and Phoenix. In Robs own words...ahem...."Son! Son! Son!" Please tell me Rob. Cant wait for this 1 that Adani chick bout to be OP!!!
Yoh Dude. Sweet integration of your own individual translations of the Meta/Implications/Inherence of what I would clearly appreciate as an amazingly written Literary Narrative. Love the Comic, but moreover gripping, by virtue of your conveyance. Great Man
I do believe that the Phenox is up there with the Beyonder and other strong beings, but until Marvel actually shows the Phenox taking on a few beyonders or all of them, then I won't consider the Phenox as "The strongest being in existence."
@@louie576 Defenders Beyond already pretty much settled any argument as to where Phoenix/Jean falls in the Marvel heirarchy. No one is above her except the creator, The One Above All. Also, there was no mention of Phoenix being the strongest being in existence in the comic. Carol said that she is the most powerful person in the universe, person not being.
The Phoenix Force actually scale above the beyonders. It directly below TOAA and act as the multiverse forger. Where TOAA reign in House of Ideas and any and every ideas that come out is either forge by the fire of life to be created or burns by it to be modified and rebirth in it's creation again.
As much as I love to see our boy back in action... it does make me wonder... is this around the same time as Venom War? Are the other symbiotes aware of his existence? Well... I guess it wouldn't matter much considering Phoenix is about to disintegrate him but... yeah lol
Rooob ROOOOOOOOB why always with the utmost anticipation with these cliffhangers these hard hard super intense cliffhangers ahhhh dammit rob!!! You truly are the most vile of villains! Curse youuuu!!! Lol
I only watch this channel for the narration😂😂 this guy is awesome. Thank you so much for all the great videos you put out. I will forever support this channel💙💙💙🌊🌊🌊
Yeah, you have covered a lot of stuff Rob. The Annihilators couldn't even have a book...they were too strong. I knew it was Gorr but it looks like he's going to get ran through. So the All-Black can separate, being with Gorr and Knull at the same time? Huh...
Cool video Rob!!! Thanks. Could you cover Simone's X-Men and maybe even Mackay's Uncanny please? I want to know what's going on in those titles. Take care and peace everyone.
It’s even crazier that Jean manhandles the Black Order because in Avengers/New Avengers during the incursions, they killed dozens and dozens of entire worlds of different heroes, some who don’t even exist normally across the multiverse just for fun
I love that Rob doesn't actually read the Comic to us. He tells us the story of the Comic. Like a great orator passing down stories to the younger generations. His channel needs to he preserved on the Internet somehow in the way dinosaur bones and old art are preserved in museums.
I'm still confused how Gorr is here? I thought the point where he traveled to the future happened already? Meaning he shouldn't exist in the present. Am I wrong? Did Marvel just bring him back despite the fact it makes no sense again? Or is Gorr beyond time now like Eddie who can time travel sort of.
The difference is the Phoenix is now basically Jean. They merged as 1 whole entity. It would be weird for phoenix to talk to itself. Regarding echo the last person to handle her was Jason Aaron probably one if the most terrible writers in Marvel basically made phoenix mute
@@ytsi7505 it was a weird thing where they kind of hint at the Phoenix having these destructive urges but they never show it. It was always her saying that and occasionally getting a little angry. I chucked it up to authorial intent hindered by poor writing. Jason aaron seems to have fun with his stories but they're never all that deep
I agree, the Phoenix book may be the most interesting of the new X-Men books. Who predicted that? Great cosmic story with bringing back the original god killer Dan Jurgens & Romita jr. created for us.
if i wanted to start reading and collecting comics where should i start? i kinda like starting from the beginning but its so much to catch up on. awhile ago i started from the beginning with 1939 #1 but stopped after that.
the first comic book i purchased was avengers infinity #21 still laminated haven’t even read it. i know most of the story bc of you. i also know a decent amount about marvel comics because of comicstorian, explained, variant, and screen rant videos.
Anyone remember the comic story where some Alien was on what looked like a Moon, dug his hands into the dirt and pulled up a Skeleton that he reanimated? Was it Hank Pym who was brought back to life? Who was the alien with the fish bowl on his head? I’ve been looking everywhere.

If there are any new subs or first timers here. If Rob says “man lemmie tell ya somethin” or “son son son” it’s about to be a banger of a story!
There's more than truth in this statement!
And if he says both, oh man is it about to get insanely good!
I can’t lie I love when he says that lol

Marvel can't spend one week without introducing a new God to their mythology.

I like that the writer is allowing Jean Grey to be herself and not rely on the Phoenix. I like the character driven story vs SOP stories
What is SOP?
Been telling you to cover this. Phoenix series have been great so far. I like the slow story building. Instead of Jean just erasing or creating everything, she is actually trying be a hero rather than a God. They are definitely building up to something of a great payoff.
Yoo what a STORY!! Im in awe this phoenix run is insane!! 🔥🔥

I was thinking about Dr Doom when Jean was walking towards the voice!!!
Why ... Doom overrated
@@tonyslicer7399 the way Rob gets so excited when Doom is involved that's why I thought it was him.
I kinda figured it was gorr but didn't think they'd bring him back
the text bubbles was a clear indicator for gorr, i knew it once i saw them pop up. Also this whole thing is about gods so made sense.
It always cracks me up when you close like that, great video!
Scott: Why my father isn't wearing cloths?
Jean: It's ok, forget about it...
Cyclops: what we were talking about...?

I freaking love your videos man. Thank you
I really hope they somehow connect Gor to what’s going on with Venom War. That would be pretty dope to see
Damnittt Rob lol...the cliffhanger!!
I was shocked to see Gorr The Godbutcher didn’t expect that
You are the best comics reviewer on RUclips. Subscribed 🍺

Lemme tell ya something Son!!! U killin it lately. Keep ot coming Rob.

Best comic content on the toob!!!
Marvel this is a 7th time in a row you've shown a new god in class
You wish this was only
The 7th time.
The character isn’t even new.
Answer me this. In an infinite universe, what would be an appropriate number of gods for you?
Thumbnail made me thunk if Aku from samurai Jack lol
Me too
🐐
"Smasher"... I see why they call her that, LOL
Lookin' like Danny Phantoms Mom
Gorr is basically a king in black now.
Gorr and Carnage need to meet.
No he’s not…
Gorr: "Ahhh.....another God. Doesn't matter"
No he’s not, he’s beholden to Eddie actually.
Shiiiiii knull needs too meet gorr
I want a three way fight!
Gorr, Carnage, and Knull all at the same time. If not that, than Thanos, Perrikus, and Gorr.
Great post-classical Rob video
Rooob ROOOOOOOOB why always with the utmost anticipation with these cliffhangers these hard hard super intense cliffhangers ahhhh dammit rob!!! You truly are the most vile of villains! Curse youuuu!!! Lol
13:28 Why does Star jammer's mustache look like it was put on by Jiggly Puff??😕
The art on this run was rough. Thankfully Phoenix will get a new artist after issue 6 I think.

these cliffhangers are criminal 😅 cant wait for the follow-up!🤙🏽
New Comic line, “The Magus and the Eternity Gems.!” The Infinity Gauntlet and Eternity Glove square off.
Given the nature of the symbiote codex everyone who was ever added to the hivemind is basically immortal so this makes perfect sense.
This is the Cliffiest of cliff hangers, gordammit ROB!
Literally thought it said "Marvel's new Darkseid" 😂
I'm still confused how Gorr is here? I thought the point where he traveled to the future happened already? Meaning he shouldn't exist in the present.
Am I wrong? Did Marvel just bring him back despite the fact it makes no sense again? Or is Gorr beyond time now like Eddie who can time travel sort of.
I think they weren't tracking the continuity and just wanted to bring him back
The Gorr appearance wasn't really a surprise. I mean c'mon he is on the damn cover.
16:00 It was introduced in Jeff Lemire's Thanos run.
This story is AMAZING! I knew it was going to be Gorr. I wish the MCU would adapt some of these awesome stories
When does “a massive cliffhanger” become an understatement?!😂
Gorr is bout to get his shit caved in harder than the time Thor put him down...

So how do I know wtf comic is next...? I wanna watch the next video but all the vids look identical now and there's no title identifiers
I keep waiting for Rob to start in with the Grimm's faerie-tales. And rekindle a desire for ancient folklore.
At 9:06 you said the third brother of cyclops…. Doesn’t he only have the two? Or did I miss something?? 😂😂😂

Please cover Ryan North's Fantastic Four🙏 Rob
Could you cover the Transformers Cosmology
is g.o.d.s. still happening? haven’t seen anyone cover it in awhile
Yeah I wanna know what happened
Last I saw it was on 6 and I think Rob covered up to 3 or 4
The whole Gorr thing is a bit hand wavy but I am enjoying the series.
Darkhawk's amulets have their own god specifically to fight The Phoenix.
‘Perrikus” somehow reminds me of “Aku”.
I've been waiting for The Phoenix meets, Thanos, meets, Gorr, meets Death.
