Editor Matt here. I’d like to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to these special effects. They took days to storyboard but I think it was worth it.
The darkest timeline is the one where Corn Of Coblin reveals himself to not be made of corn, and to actually be Mephisto (played by none other than John Krasinski)
I like how you can tell in the tone of James voice wheter or not he's talking to Maso or himself in these videos. It's always a fun game to play at the intro of every video.
I am thinking about dropping out of school to focus on my career as a star on RUclips. I already make a lot of money on RUclips. School bores me so much. I need more opinions and since I don't have any friends, I gotta ask you, steve
I remember sitting in french class and finding a marvel comic in the 2099 timeline in french so people could learn. And I went through it and on one page there was a floppy disk. Maybe the funniest panel I’ve seen, the fact that they thought floppy disks would be a viable medium 100 years in the future wildly amuses me.
There's Renew your Vows where Peter and MJ have a kid named May in which they become a crime-fighting trio and Avengers World where there's a planet with the Avengers logo on it.
all life on earth are completely taken over the symbiotes, plant earth is just a symbiote planet. depending on the writer this a true unified utopia or the conquest of a dark army.
Deadpool killustrated is interesting. He kills the marvel universe, he kills alternate universe people, then he starts going into literary works like tom Sawyer and killing them... and a team of people I think lead by sherlock holmes have to stop him
I really liked the MC2 continuity back in the day, where most of the OG Avengers were either dead or retired after a horrible experience in an alternate reality, so a bunch of kids of superheroes, one kid of a supervillain, and an android allegedly programmed with a personality based on tony Stark reformed the avengers after battling Loki together. Oh, and in the same continuity, Peter Parker's daughter is Spider-Girl.
@@umbraan1ma641 Marvel Ruins is a timeline where anything that Can go wrong, DID. Peter Parker was turned into a shambling, walking mass of cancerous radioactive tumors from his spider bite. Wolverine became deathly allergic to His adamantium, so now all his flesh is constantly sagging off his bones. I think Nick Fury ate Captain America in the past...and Jean Grey became a prostitute. And The X-Men were all mutilated so they could fit into normal society. And Daredevil was violently killed by a hit & run while saving the old man.
Hulk: The End was a fantastic alternative universe where the world is destroyed in a nuclear war and only bruce banner is left along with the hulk. Absolutely brilliant read, a very dark story tho.
Betty Ross was originally hinted to have been killed off by radioactive Hulk exposure, but then it revealed that the Hulk was framed. This is the 616 universe btw, so Spider-Man Reign didn’t do the idea first like the internet thinks.
@@arthand7672 Those mini-series were just so depressing and graphic, I’m glad it ended with that Deadpool trying to kill all alternate versions of himself, leading 616 Deadpool (or “Deadpool Prime” if you will) to kill the Deadpool from the Deadpool Kills trilogy, finally putting him out of his genocidal misery.
@@Popcultureguy3000 funnily enough, the "deadpool killustrated" one where he kills the literary characters was one of the first marvel comic books I got as an adult and that one you mentioned where he hunts down that deadpool I think might have actually been my last.
@@arthand7672 I wouldn’t let some aggressively “grim-dark” bunch of comics dissuade you from exploring other adult oriented comic books. From Marvel you could check out Marvels and Marvels: Eye of the Camera, The Superior Foes of Spider-Man, from Image you can check out The Wicked + The Divine, Saga, I [Hate] Fairyland, from Dark Horse you can check out The Mask series (much darker than the movies, but still hilarious) Hellboy and all the assorted spin-offs of it and from DC you can read Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman series, Transmetropolitan, Kingdom Come, the newest Hellblazer series, and the new Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen limited series.
My favorite part of the original Marvel Zombies series was that Hulk had a huge hole blasted in his stomach, so every time he ate, the food would just fall out. He was so grumpy and frustrated.
I was expecting a shouout to Ruins. It's depressing, mean and sad but also short and weirdly fascinating with sort of an ugly but not really ugly artstyle to complement. I like it.
I get what they WANTED to say with Spider-Man Reign, like Peter being too intimate with someone ultimately caused their death, because being with someone that has radioactive blood is dangerous. But I and a lot of others couldn't take the 'death by semen' scene seriously. Otherwise it wasn't a bad comic, but just as James and Maso said.... weird.
There were multiple people in the editing/publishing process that read that and said: "Yes. This is a fine and normal thing to put in a Spider-Man comic."
As a kid, my favourite apocalyptic present was the age of apocolypse. Not a dystopian future, as it got nuked into the past until they kept dredging it up for diminishing returns.
Also no they can’t yet, they still haven’t introduced like 80% of the heroes in that, so what your asking for is them to remake age of ultranationalist with some of the comic characters but still not the important ones, just dumb lmao
The Last Avengers Story may fall short of being a classic, but it has some cool moments. And I think the running gag on "Falcon and the Winter Soldier" of Steve Rogers being on the Moon was inspired by that comic
The old What If? series was always an excuse to do alternate timelines where your favorite heroes died horribly. I remember one was What If Death’s Head I Had Lived? It had Baron Zemo in an unstoppable robot body, brutally killing The Fantastic Four, Captain America, War Machine, Luke Cage and Namor, but that all means that Death’s Head I, a character I have never heard of or seen anywhere else, got to survive. Worth it?
Cant tell you how happy I am to see this video in my recommended. I just worked an awful 6am till 10pm shift and Im gonna sit now and have a beer and fully relax.... hell of a day but so happy for the next 15mins.
Speaking of dark timelines, you guys briefly spoke about it but never did a review here or on the podcast. The Watchmen TV show is incredible and I actually just finally watched it. I would love a Caravan of Garbage on it, it is honestly my favorite Superhero TV show or movie. It was incredible and I’d love to see what you guys felt about it.
This podcast/channel/PSA or whatever USED to be GUUD! But now there's simply too many *special effects* !!! Did Michael Bay direct this?!?.........It's pc gone mad.
I wish that marvel would make more pg-13 and or R rated cartoons like dc, because after invincible I very much would like to see an animated old man Logan TV-MA cartoon.
The Age or Ultron isn’t the movie, it’s the era under the oppressive thumb of the Sokovia accords, and a period where the Avengers where divided. In a way, the ACTUAL Age of Ultron is depicted in Captain America Civil War.
6:48 Earth X came after Kingdom Come and it was conceptualised because Alex was asked to do a dystopian version of older Marvel characters. He drew concept art and bullet points of each characters synopsis, however he didn’t write the eventually gravel novel, as an other writer complied these notes to write the story. That’s why the story isn’t that good but the concepts are brilliant.
With Raycon you can drop it in the toilet, lose it under the bed, lose them in the park and all you have to do is just buy more! Its foolproof. Spiderman wears them in Reigncon
Not so much a future apocalypse, but I the one where all the superhero origins go wrong, the hulk dies from cancerous tumours, captain America becomes a cannibal etc. I like the concept.
My favorite dystopian marvel future is the one where Corn of Cobblin' microwaves all the heroes until they pop like popcorn and then he douses the city in butter and salt.
I would love an old man Rogers, where we follow an old and retired Steve Rogers who lives in peace somewhere. Nobody knows he exists. A new threat faces the planet, and they need Rogers back. SHIELD comes to him and asks him to pick up the shield one more time.
wait a minute, wait a minute. STOP EVERYTHING. Are you telling me that this video is sponsored by Raycon? Like, for real? THE Raycon??? I would have never guessed that. My jaw is on the floor.
Editor Matt here. I’d like to thank everyone for the overwhelming response to these special effects. They took days to storyboard but I think it was worth it.
Yes!!
It’s incredible what you can do with special effects. Remember me when you win an Oscar.
Sincerely, they were my favorite part! 🤣 However much money it cost, they were worth it
Matthew
I was completely immersed in them. Seamless integration of the real world and the special effects, m8.
The darkest timeline is the one where Corn Of Coblin reveals himself to not be made of corn, and to actually be Mephisto (played by none other than John Krasinski)
The horror!
This joke will never get old
@Bongo Kongo That’s pretty easy

Thought it was just me lol
You're not alone!
Ooh, me too!
i thought i was the only one
Can tell right from the start masons in the vid lmfao
Shame about the Raycon money, but putting it all into these stunning special effects was worth it.

Incredible special effects in this video. Must've spent that entire Raycon ad money on them
Fun fact: Marvel Zombies had a one page parody ad where they found some little kids and turned them into Hostess meat pies.
The forbidden meat
@@HambleyBambley the other other white meat
That was probably the most f***ed parody I’ve ever read

what if its a 1000tb portable SSD in the SHAPE of a floppy disc :O
Maybe they were feeling nostalgic?
0:43 "Grimm stuff all 'round!" Nice editing, as usual.
Spider-Man Reign: Where Peter Parker looks like one of those chess playing old men in that old Pixar short.
Don't forget his radioactive sperm. Never forget.
No. We all want to forget that...
Remember when Spider-Man killed Mary Jane with his radioactive sperm
Spider-Man’s nut killed MJ.
@@TheSuperNaruto96 Nah. Instead, I'll always remember Spider-Girl, daughter of Peter Parker and MJ. Much better than that embarassing comic.
Captain America kicking Hench man off the boat was cold and dark.
I think James and Maso were forced to operate on 40% for this one in order to compensate for those stunning special effects
I watched the whole RayCon ad so they can continue to afford those incredible special effects.
Just finished Community yesterday, and now you post a video about dark timelines? This is truly the darkest timeline.
You've seen all of Community?

The Peter/MJ/May crimefighting team sounds especially bonkers
The real Darkest Timeline were the friends we made along the way.
Why does this get me every time
Bhahaha damn skippy 👍🏻
*friends we lost
"The Darkest Timeline was inside you all along."
This joke always gets me but I have no idea where it originally came from lmao
What If Idea: The meteorite that landed in Wakanda actually had Venom symbiotes on it instead of vibranium
So Cap's shield is made out of goo?
all life on earth are completely taken over the symbiotes, plant earth is just a symbiote planet. depending on the writer this a true unified utopia or the conquest of a dark army.
@@olivermeloche2042 Knull leads his army of Wakandan Cavemen and Dinosaurs the end
Or why not both. Vibranium + symbiotes. It'd even help counter the vulnerabilities some. Also a venom \ symbiote dinosaur always sounds terrifying lol
Every reality where Corn of Coblin does not reign supreme is the darkest timeline
Deadpool killustrated is interesting. He kills the marvel universe, he kills alternate universe people, then he starts going into literary works like tom Sawyer and killing them... and a team of people I think lead by sherlock holmes have to stop him

Shocked that literally the best apocalypse story wasn't listed. Age of Apocalypse. That will always be my all-time favorite series marvel has done.
I’d love to see *’The 10 Darkest DC Timelines’* next.
Number 1 is the green lantern movie timeline
Number 2, WW1984
Betty Ross was originally hinted to have been killed off by radioactive Hulk exposure, but then it revealed that the Hulk was framed. This is the 616 universe btw, so Spider-Man Reign didn’t do the idea first like the internet thinks.
The budget for this episode was really through the roof.
Deadpool killing all of marvel was pretty dark. Just the idea that if Deadpool loses his voices he just goes on a murder spree like holy shit
What he does to the fantastic 4 alone is dark and brutal. Or wolverine?! DKTMU can be equal parts funny and bleak.
How about when he paints that fence with tom Sawyer's brain in the follow up?

Well there goes the special effects budget for the quarter. Worth it tho, I'd say.
I literally have a Pavlovian impulse to hit like even before his videos start

No Age of Apocalypse? Some of my favorite issues are the ones dealing with what everyone else not X is up to in the Marvel Universe. Good list.
Cn they do age of ultron again, but the comic version, that looks way better 👀

There's Marvel 2 which is 20 years in the future with a younger generation, or the original Guardians of the Galaxy in 3000.
My favorite dystopian marvel future is the one where Corn of Cobblin' microwaves all the heroes until they pop like popcorn and then he douses the city in butter and salt.
I would love an old man Rogers, where we follow an old and retired Steve Rogers who lives in peace somewhere. Nobody knows he exists.
A new threat faces the planet, and they need Rogers back. SHIELD comes to him and asks him to pick up the shield one more time.
