@@Username-ic7vm I’m excited to Loki in a way. However it does feel like because he is so popular they want to bring him back which is a shame because I loved what they did with the character after the first Avengers film. Still though. 2012 Loki is my favourite Loki so I can’t wait. As for Hawkeye. I’m more so interested because of the comics run. I won’t lie I’ve started reading Marvel because of the films so I haven’t read the comic run yet. Same with Moon Knight but from what I’ve seen of him he looks amazing with the spilt identities and the brutality. I’ll probably read The Bottom first and then go from there.
@@liamhemstock2286 Moon Knight comics are a trip, due in large part to how obscure he is. May I recommend the Warren Ellis run with Mister Knight. It’s a really good detective story with lots of batshit insane elements. Like the talking bird skull.
@@liamhemstock2286 whatever you do. Make sure to read Matt Fractions run on Hawkeye first! Other runs will likely put you off the character. What Fraction does is superb, bringing a humanity that you usually don’t see in many marvel or dc’s non-vertigo titles. It’s all on marvel unlimited. I’d recommend reading it as soon as possible. Also Barton will return as ronin for a brief appearance which is Epic! Because while Barton is white, seeing Japanese influence is always a treat.
Going from a jumping jack Frenchman, to fighting a Nazi with a mask stuck to his face, to a suicidal vampire with a plan to make the whole world sterile. "You can write this" is the understatement of the Year
Red Skull: *makes Sam Wilson's life better only to betray Captain America* Sam: *Doesn't betray Captain America* Red Skull: I might not have thought this through...
0:39- I agree with Ben. Cap choose to pass the shield to Sam, so he gets to be the new Cap. The government shouldn’t mess with that. 30:24- I love Sal’s “Holy shit... what?” face there.
Must admit Falcon and Winter Soldier was great. Character development, dealing with trauma and showing how truly damaged Bucky. Thoroughly enjoyed it. And again great episode guys
13:04 That beautiful goodness only Ben can provide, I look forward to it in every Back Issues! I love where his mind goes sometimes! And Sal & Ethans reaction is priceless! 🤣😂🤣
Everyone made the assumption that Cap giving Falcon the shield in Endgame would just herald in a new Cap with no complications, as a fan of this arc I knew it could never be that simple. Plus I just want to see Falcon in action as his own hero before he becomes Captain America. I love that Red Skull of all people got rid of all the terrible stuff that made Sam Wilson a bad 70s stereo type! Lol
I preffer to believe Sam was always a good man and The Red Skull was the one who created the Snap persona to try to manipulate him and use him against Rogers. Remember it was a retcon. Before of it Sam Wilson was Indeed a social worker not a hoodlum. Years later was That the writers came up with the backstory of him being a Former criminal
@@Akkatlah Well dammit, after 2 years you have convinced me! THATS my new head canon and honestly I’m kicking myself for not even entertaining that explanation! Thank you!❤️🙏🏾
I liked this Story a lot... The Page When Sam asks the Birds from the Everglades to Eat the Fleas or Ticks was Great Art and Cool use of Falcon's Power
Well, there is that famous saying: "If life gives you... ummm... sterility-inducing Inhuman henchman kid, you make sterility-inducing weapon of mass extinction out of it... I guess..."
30:17 The Process Ben is talking about is known as Blood Doping. Essentially you add more blood cells into the body to increase Oxygen transfer into the muscles. Problem is it also makes you speed up nutrient consumption and it cause all sorts of health issues. I mainly know the nutrient thing since Blood Doping is what Luffy's Gear Second ability is based on in One Piece
15:30 Ben's reaction to Redwing catching the shield just made me think of that bit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. "It's not a matter of where he grips it, a 3-pound bird cannot carry a 10-pound Vibranium shield!" 30:14 Yeah, it's called "blood doping" in case anyone's curious enough to look it up. Hydra's plan being old-school eugenics with mandatory sterilization for "inferior people" (that is, everyone not Hydra) is so perfect for Hydra.
1:04:10 The little bit on the cure delivery method keeps bringing me laughs. The idea of a Superhero getting access to a cure but opting out because it required stabbing their gonads is so funny!
All-New All Different Marvel really was my favorite phase of Marvel, I like all the diverse legacy characters. Miles Morales really is my all time fav character in comics. I love Sam as Captain America
Absolutely love Falcon being the new captain America. It’s a cool choice gotta give the dude the super soldier cerium somehow complete with vibranium wings? It’s a fitting replacement.
I honestly miss Sam as Cap bc he was a cool,really growing into the title,and relevant!! His costume was Awesome❤💙 & having him date Misty was Chef's kiss🔥🔥
With regards to the blood thing, it's called blood doping. When you lose blood volume you're body produces erythropoetin which causes you to make more blood to replace the lost volume. Later on you take the removed red blood cells and reinject them to significantly increase your O2 delivery to muscle. This allows for greater ATP production during long exercise (things like marathons and triathlons which is why it's so big with cyclists).
Buy the All New Captain America right here! amzn.to/2OIfg7T
Pretty great series glad you’re covering it
So Red Skull is pretty much the ultimate Marvel Editor retconning bad stereotypes left & right! lol
Wow, the unfortunate implications of this comic were just threw the roof.
I think the process Ben was talking about is called doping. I’m not sure what it does but that would make sense. I think it was a problem in the olympics or something lol
Sal's borderline horrified reaction to Ben's athlete blood anecdote is one of the funniest moments on Back Issues.
Apparently Celebrities do a similar thing where they instead use the Plasma in you Blood to keep your Hair Growing and Skin Fresh or some creepy shit...
@30:09 for future reference.
Such a perfect moment. That real, _genuine double take..._ Perfect.
_"I don't like that at all..."_
Hahahahahahahaha
Falcon's cap suit is a miracle, there is no reason for a patriotic bird suit to look that good.
I like but I can’t help but miss the full cowl.
My brother swears that's his favorite cap suit all time.....it's tough to argue.. what a beauty.
I can't believe they didn't go for some sort of eagle thing
I dare say it should have been a patriotic bird the whole time
Facts!! I looove this suit so much that I use it in the Marvel Future Fight Game!
Red Skull really needs to stop using Cosmic Cubes to rewrite people’s backstories. It never works out for him.
Oh just you wait till he uses it to rewrite his own backstory. Theres no way that could go wrong.
If you have unlimited cosmic power and still eff up then God just doesn't like you 😂
"He can talk to birds, like Cinderella" -Ben. Yes, that is exactly what the Red Skull was going for when he gave him powers. The shield is the glass slippers!

Sam Wilson as captain America was super underrated at least in my opinion.
@InfernoDelta yeah that's true man stupid marvel editorial ruining everything.
He was a great replacement for Cap.
@@funkyweapon1981 I agree
@@TevyaSmolka I agree, friend.
I wholeheartedly agree with that sentiment, my friend.
Why does Red Skull have a history of rewriting peoples histories then getting surprised when that shit backfires on him

Zemo: Um yeah?
“Well his blood can make people sterile...idk what you want to do with that.”

I want to thank Nick Spencer for giving me my favorite interpretation of captain America this run is my run.
Spencer's run gets a lot of flack, but everything he did with Sam was fantastic, especially how he used him in Secret Empire.
So you completely missed the fact that Rick Remender wrote this, huh? This is not the Nick Spencer run.
You mean turning Steve Rodgers into a Nazi?
"You don't need a cosmic cube to do that. You just need a therapist." - since there are no therapists in comics, this is how people deal with tramau.
Actually Dr. Samson is a certified therapist and a Superhero

Falcon Captain America has to have my all time favorite captain America costume. I hope we see it in the show, most likely at the end.

The blood doping tangent in here is priceless...it is fucking weird, and it was validating to watch your reactions.
Ben explaining blood doping is one of my parts of this episode
Ben talking about blood doping was so funny
I stepped away from comics for 5 years, came back in 2020 and love that ComicPops back issues have gotten even better!
I loved FalconCap....also Stuart Ihmonnen's artwork in this is soo good
I’d never thought I’d ever hear Sal utter the words “This will blow up on TikTok!”
Cast away in dimension Z is one of my favourite cap stories. Please do it on back issues
I feel ashamed that I lol'd at Ben's "france - hit you once joke"
51:36 that is the best reaction ever. And the exact one I had
Hey I had totally forgotten about Ian. WHERE IS HE? Marvel bring back Ian Rogers he was pretty cool.
they did keep Vampire Redwing for a bit, and it connects to champions now i think.
Well, there is that famous saying:
"If life gives you... ummm... sterility-inducing Inhuman henchman kid,
you make sterility-inducing weapon of mass extinction out of it... I guess..."
I was THIS close to injecting myself with more blood, but thank heavens for the warning NOT to, Comic Pop! 30:55

15:40 It's a simple question of strength to weight ratio. A 3.5 pound bird cannot carry a 10 pound shield!
30:24 Sal’s reaction to this is amazing. I did the same thing and was like: “Excuse me... What the fuck!”

I love that ben is the one dropping knowledge lol i love when he is the dismissive one on the couch its freaking hilarious
The sad part is that falcons only live like 12-15 years. Poor Sam he'll outlive Redwing.

Any idea if Baron Blood ever met Dracula in the Marvel Universe? Could be an interesting story arc.
Lance Armstrong came to mind when they talked about oxygenated blood

Sam was also Captain in 1999. Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty. He didn't have wings then.

I enjoy how Ben has it out for that bird
One of the few things I've actually bought all the issues for
So hyped for the show! Great content as always lads

I'm definitely hyped for Falcon and The Winter Soldier this week!

It's nice seeing Sam's suit in the finale of the show and it looks so great
This was a very fun episode
Ahh now I'm thinking of The Falcon that's a Falcon man.
I remember seeing the first issues of this run on the shelves in the first few episodes of back issues
Cyclops. the original teleporting X-Man, eyes on dimension Punch!
this story sounds soo cool!
