Nice
Hype
✋🏻😎👍🏻
Hey..I just watch your video about History of Mister Sinister... but then, I also just watch X-Men First Class recently and realized that you didn't make a video about History of Sebastian Shaw and Hellfire Club..can you make that video, please?
Namor is a problem 😅
I didn’t know he was THAT strong. They need to go ahead a put some respect on his name and have him swap blows with Thor
Yeah he fought Hercules and won in the avengers comics
He defeated the hulk 3 times
You know they’ll need him
Big reason why he’s confirmed for 3 movies of this stage
He's the counter of aquaman he was made just for that
Namor is one of the very first Marvel characters who doesn't have alot of his own series & who only shows up in Black Panther & Fantastic Four comics. He's literally never around whenever there's a huge event going on. The fate of the world or universe is at stake & he couldn't be bothered lol. Marvel needs to do more with him much much more.
The Sub-Mariner did seem to make many "cameo"/cross-over appearances in the Marvel comic book universe, and Namor did seem to have a distant co-existence relationship with the other Marvel characters. Perhaps because of his mistrust in humans for using the oceans (his realm) as a toxic waste dump. An analogy might be the difference on how Native Americans and early European settlers viewed nature.
That’s the point of him though. He only cares about his people. Unless his people are being affected he wouldn’t care less about anybody else especially surface dwellers
@@refelicia824 yeah but if the world is at stake which is always then it'll effect him so you'd figure he'd step up and help.
@@ahappyklingon3631 I agree with this, I was just telling my brother Wakanda is obviously the last hope for the surface world, and Talocan would be the last defense of the underworld, obviously if something catastrophic was happening Namor would be there, but I think that depends on the outcome of his oceans, because that's all he really cares about.. Then again, when Thanos snapped half of everything away, obviously Namor with all his sea life, and more citizens than blades of grass in Wakanda, it would be absolutely catastrophic
he had his own stuff going on in the 40's, but it took a while for him to get a series again
I appreciate wakanda forever did not remove the wings on his feet. Else it would have been just aquaman
Bro that’s the only thing he shares with the comic character lol they shouldn’t have even added dude to the movie
@@NostalgiaVomitBootlegs why
@@kingshinobi3501 they changed EVERYTHING about the character for a subpar reason. Making him “the voice of the colonized” sucks. Just like all the movie backstory. And lastly the actor just isn’t that good
To soon
@@NostalgiaVomitBootlegs naw the actor the good
You left out a few Namor factoids there. First, he has a healing ability which is triggered by being in the water. Namor can go toe to toe with anybody so long as he can get to water in order to heal. All Atlanteans have this ability, but Namor's ability is 'Wolverine-level' because he is a mutant hybrid. Second, Namor's mixed heritage makes him go insane if he spends too much time in one element. If he's out of the water or in the water for too long, he loses it. That's the main reason he switches from hero to villain so often.
Thank you, I never knew that and that explains alot of the movie for me now thank you so much. Question is him being out of the water for too long a reason why he went crazy in invaders?
@@angeloftheuchiha.4810 It is. It's something that rarely gets mentioned in the comics. Maybe once every 30 years or so. I guess it depends on the writer like everything else.
@@kennyrosenyc okay that makes alot of sense
Even the Hulk thought he was a hot-head when they were companions in the Defenders. You know that's bad
The story of Namors name in BPWF was actually pretty F sick. Talocan also sounds so much more badass than just another "Atlantis" so job well done to the creative team.
🤢🤮
@@Red-zh7vq cry 😂
I'm so glad that they did something new and interesting instead of literally just Aquaman, seriously, he's even a human Atlantean hybrid just like aquaman but raised underwater.
Agreed
@@marlarki5280 would have been nice if Auquaman was actually stuck to the comics. You know since he didn't look anything like Jason Momoa
My dad has Sub Mariner #1. I believe its a 6 or 7 graded. We got it many years ago but its def a super valueable book.
For some reason I thought u mean a watch
WOW. COOL.
Sweet
Then your dad knows he's not from Aztec origins. Good for him.
Namor is mutant because he has traits that normal Atlanteans and humans dont have, namely his ears, wings and strength.
And that forehead.
7:34 Michael Turner baby!!! Hands-down one of the finest artists to ever pencil a comic, Rest In Peace my man
Agreed! When I learned he passed away a few years ago I was so sad. His art is so dynamic and grabs one's attention immediately! I loved his variant covers for comics.
Oh, man! Got the Michael Turner poster in my room. Dope...
Yes,he really needs to be remembered. He is in a rare class. Perez,Ross,Deodato just to name a few of a short list.
Iconic cover
NGL. I liked Black Panther's iteration of Namor's backstory alot more than the comics. KuKulkan the feather serpent GOD
I’ve been watching this channel off and on since 2018. I love coming back each with so many new videos to catch up on. It’s very comforting
Replying to this to claim a giveaway
Namor is a very invincible cool character, yet he's highly underrated. Glad he's being introduced into the big screen.
Too bad they got such a shit and politically charged actor to play him.
Agreed
You won't be glad once you've seen what they've done with him lol
Not like this though they butchered the character for the silver screen
@@TinobiSan lol
I just watched Wakanda Forever and I really enjoyed it. I really like the back story of the MCU Namor. Hopefully they give him his very own solo movie in the future and we get to see more of him in future MCU films.
I hope so too
How'd you forget about Black Panther 2005. When he and Namor first met. That one was pretty cool.
I kid you not I was looking for this yesterday and you guys upload it today?
You guys have got to share your mind reading abilities.
I'd love to see a Namor/Serpent Crown storyline in the MCU.
I agree. Plus they can make the link with the Serpent crown and Kukulkan
I'd love to see namor in the mcu
Go see Black Panther 2 with MCU debut of Namor. It's really good!
1 of my all time favorite Anti Heroes of all time. Wasnt expecting this take of Namor but it looks damn badass
My first memory of this character was actually teach how to draw marvel super heros in Elementary school. Glad too see this anti hero grown more in popularity.
My first memory of the Sub Mariner was him being critical of humans, for irresponsibly polluting the oceans (early bronze age comics).
Its been a while since ive seen your content. I love how you made one of my favorite marvel characters into this video!
Thank you! These "history" videos are great!!
Loved this video! If the channel hasn't done so already, I think it would be cool for Variant to do a comparison between Submariner and Aquaman!
and also one between Namor and NAMORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR xd
Hey guys LOVE your shannel. You forgot ONE power of the Sub Mariner. He has the ability to absorb energy blasdirected at him and blast it back on his opponent. It is an all but forgotten power.
Imagine Namor vs Captain Marvel 🤔
I wonder what the replacement for “Imperius Rex” will be
Something subpar just like the character design
Up with fence
@Gabe Mark he wears several decent looks from the comics they could have chosen from like his Dark X Men look. Of course though, the green speedo argument everyone who hasn’t read the comics uses. Whatever man enjoy your voice of the colonized lol that’s so fucking terrible.
Imperius rex
changed his history a whole lot for the new black panther mivie
He was so good and in BP2
Great in the Invaders...1 of my favorite comic books when I was a kid!
Always loved this channel
I dunno what it is, but Namor looks similar to Black Adam. They have this exotic, tough look and I like it 🔥🔥🔥
Elf ears and angry eyebrows are very exotic and tough
@@santyvalens yes, plus their hairline is similar too
Well, Black Adam didn't debut until December 1945. Namor's been around since '39. Also, you might be interested to know that Spock from Star Trek was influenced by Namor and this has been admitted to by the creator, Gene Roddenberry.
I thought the "I was a mutant." line was just a throw away bit. Oh boy, can't wait to see where this goes.
No, in real life comics, Namor was the FIRST mutant. Because there are older mutants and mutants from back in time perhaps, but none were created before Namor in real life time.
@@cryptozoomauler5505 Also a sign that we might see mutants in the MCU sometime soon.
Wish we got this version of Namor. The REAL Namor. What we got right now is Kotal Roman Kahn El Submarino. If you can't stay close to the source material make a new character or some shit. What is Marvel doing. 💀💀💀
Not marketing to you I guess 🤭
Can you do history of Alfred Pennyworth, Batwing, Flame Bird, Batwoman, Azrael, Signal(Duke Thomas), Bluebird, Stephanie Brown and Carrie Kelly?
Thanx for this In-Depth Refresher.
Now I'm certain Marvel/Disney has just destroyed another A-List character 🤦🏾♂
So does this mean Namor is the first official mutant to debut in the MCU?
Professor X was in Multiverse of Madness tho
In the comics, Namor is Marvel's 1st mutant. Inside Marvel fictional continuity, Namor is not the 1st mutant. Who knows who is, in the MCU? There are X-Men villains who've thousands of years old...
No, that would be Kamala Khan
@@witzitzilin She’s a inhuman not a mutant.
no because they retconned him beyond recognition
Namor's debue in the MCU is so lit
I'd like them to explore his mutant powers more, and this business they mention here of Atlantian magic which he wields at times!
MY MAN NAMOR
Love this guy the Invaders are one of my favorite comic
It’s been a very long time coming but I’m very happy to see Namor finally get the live action treatment especially when having his own origins video
So you are enjoying the assasination and destruction of his lore and charecter? You are the problem with modern disney marvel movies. You just accept getting spit at.
Who?
This Aztec warrior looks cool, but 'Namor brought to the big screen' he is not.
Its not even atlantis ffs
So how would you make a movie now that aqua man came out what would you call it?
@@isaiahjr9259 NAMOR THE SUBMARINER DUH
That's not Namor. Not even close.
"El Niño Sin Amor"
¡Que Barbaridad!
Loved the film trying to get all his info here!
Damn he's strong asf
Great History Of Variant Comics! If anyone can answer this question for me. What is a key difference between Aquaman(DC) & Namor The Sub-Mariner(Marvel) as far as a personality standpoint?
In a nutshell (or seashell) Aquaman is more of a traditional hero, whereas Namor is a villain and occasional anti-hero. Aside from that, their abilities are quite similar, but Namor actually predates Aquaman. In fact, before Superman could fly, Namor did it first.
@@sa-x19 appreciate the response and clarification! Thanks!
I knew you would do a video on this marvel character.
Great refresher before BPWF! Can't wait!
Are you going to do history of Shuri as the Black Panther, Riri_Williams Ironheart, Namora and M'Babu in honour of the upcoming Black Panther Wakanda Forever movie?
Can you do a versus video between DC_Aquaman and Marvel_Namor the Submariner?
Aquaman because he’s been able to push oceanic plates and has the Trident of Poseidon which allows him to control all sea life including the Trench. And his telepathic abilities work on other planets as well 3 states of matter are everywhere regardless of dimension or universe. Namor can keep up with him in strength but more times then not Aquaman has to fight some OP characters; Hercules, Superman, Wonder Woman, Darkseid and even his trident stabbed him in the eye. He has more times in comics showing off his raw strength. But what makes him win the fight is his powers aren’t just on earth he can be on other planets and be able to do the same thing.
@@jaysenbustamante9926 LOL Namor would kill Aquaman.
Namor has been one of my favorite Marvel Heroes. Everytime I hear Namor being mentioned, I would shout: "IMPERIUS REX!!!!"
Thats racist. He isnt Greek anymore. Now hes some other f*ckin character also named Namor
@@Lubey4U No it's not. Namor literally shouts this phrase when he summons the entire Atlantian army or when he unleashes a tsunami.
Líik’ik Talokan!
They could’ve at least told the actor to workout, dude looks he just came from a backyard cookout and they action 😄
Great job sir
Which Avengers vs. X-Men are you recommending? The series from 1987 which you keep showing the cover from, or the 2012 series that you show screen shots from and the plot recap from?
Logic would say the 2012 series but If u can’t figure it out that’s on you
‘Logic’ would say do your research better and put up the correct cover.
‘Logic’ would say do your research better and put up the correct cover.
Namor really needs to lighten up with everyone he attacks for no reason. Is it awesome everytime he shouting the words "Imperious Rex"? What do you think is the best thing about Namor the Submariner in the comics?
🤣 it's quite obvious that you don't know about Comics or Namor at all, the reason why I Namor attacks everyone he encounters is because of his half-breed heritage, because of his unique heritage it interferes with his blood that's why he is always calm or violent and also has to do with him going up and down inside of water, this was explored in the Namor series that came out in the 90s
The fact that everything he does is for his people, for love, or for the environment. He's not a selfish character but he is a prideful one.
Glad I bought the OG DVD!
Wow. Cool video. I gotta check out those Namor issues.
Just like how you did the comic book origin of Marvel's Namor the Submariner and Attuma, Can you do comic book origin of characters like the origin of Marvel's, Namora, Tiger_Shark, Stingray, Dorma, Marrina and Kamar?
Namor came out before Aquaman and he went the long haired bearded look twice in 1962 and 1992 long before Aquaman too.
The Sub-Mariner was one of my favorites growing up in NYC during the '60s. I wish I had the foresight to have kept all of my comics.
I am glad that you give readings/comic books to help people understand the origin story… and not from 1 comic. I will subscribe because of that alone.
Before there was Aquaman there was NAMOR.
Finally Namor getting some love and recognition 😊
They are destryoing him. Mcu must be stopped, this isnt good.
@@jonathansoko1085 Bro?? 🙄🙄
Oh yeah. Fundamentally rewriting the character until theres nothing but the name left is the DEFINITION of 'love and recognition'
@@Lubey4U
Namor is racially ambiguous, he's not a straight up white man, since "newsflash"...Atlantians are NOT REAL. So the most he could have been is half white, but he has always MOSTLY LOOKED ASIAN. So why aren't you asking for an ASIAN casting? And why are you NOT complaining about Aquanman who is NOT Racially Ambiguous, since he's always been depicted as a Blonde Hair Blue Eyes WHITE MAN, but DC/WB decided to make Aquaman Hawaiian and cast Jason Mamoa...so why the double standards? What's wrong with improving a Racially Ambiguous character such as Namor, when he's been mishandled and underutilized decades in the Comics?
@@jonathansoko1085
☝🏾 Same goes for you my friend.
I love this channel 👍
Great video but I was surprised by no mention of his founding membership in The Defenders along with Dr. Strange and Hulk. That was a perfect vehicle for him to occasionally show up all high and mighty and fight alongside some other oddballs of Marvel herodom...
I am surprised he didn't that namor was part of a group during world war 2 called the invaders who members included captian america and the original human torch.
He was really strong holy shit.
Forward Atlantis imperius Rex!
yeah, i don’t know about that mcu namor. such a big departure from the comics.
As long as namor has his ankle wings and is a dick, he is namor.
I hope namor plays out well in this black panther new movie 💕😌😌
I wish Namor was actually in the movie.
He won’t. Too different and cucked
Please do 10 best black panther comics for Chadwick
Amazing man. That ks
I love you @variant ❤️❤️🍫
Whoever is in that movie is not Namor The Submariner
History of Man-Thing please!!!
Loved how he liked water and looks like Milos from Atlantis the lost empire💕
Have y’all read Isom #1? Would love to see what y’all think
I read it. It was good but I didn’t love it. I know Eric had to introduce a whole new universe in 1 book so I’ll definitely check out the next book. What about you?
GOAT
I wore that same shirt to the movie tonight😁
Do a video on Chip zdarskys Invaders comics I really liked that story about Namors life
Ys it's epic
Please do the History of Bumblebee (DC Comics)
When are you going to do history of Marvel's Sandman and Kurt Conners the Lizard since they made a live action comeback in Spider-Man No Way Home along with the Elementals who were mentioned in Spider-Man Far From Home?
He’s sooo underated
I love how he made a comic book origin video for a completely different character.
This Imperious Rex guy sounds pretty interesting, wonder when we'll see him
the mcu dude aint namor, its a damn travesty is what it is. Disney is dead set on complete destruction of marvel.
The movie is an ADAPTATION of the character. ADAPTATIONS don't compulsorily have to be accurate. There is always room for creative exploration and reimagining and i think the Namor in BLACK PANTHER suits that story perfectly. ALSO, admit that him screaming IMPERIUS REX in a live action movie will be the EPITOME OF CRINGE!
@@omolade6553 Stop. No one claims it has to be 100% the same. Just stop your strawman bad arguments. Trash is trash.
@@jonathansoko1085 what you have just said is quite buffoonish to be honest. For me to believe it is TRASH, you must give CONVINCING REASONS why it is TRASH. Your statement makes ZERO sense. A five-year-old child would express themselves far better than you have just done, boy. Give me FACTUAL REASONS. SOLID REASONS WHY IT IS TRASH. That' s how to debate, boy.
Can you do history of the villains of the Stargirl TV show like Mr_Bones, Dragon king, Brainwave and Icicle? When are you going to do history of the Flash Villains Mirror Master and Top since the second half of season 6 of the Flash has finished?
Can you do history of the Atom, Major_Force, Captain Atom, Plastique, the Blackhawks, Rocket Red Brigade, Blue_Beetle, Mr Terrific and Plastic Man along with the history of the Villains Dr Alchemy and Abracadabra?
Namor had a good original story but I feel like he was too powerful for them if he wanted he could easily brake their necks or something lol but he admired wakanda cause they were outsiders like him also they made it look like he had feelings for shuri
I'm just remembering saying "I ship it" while watching them together. He's waaaay too old for her though
That human torch is Not to be Confused with Johnny Storm has he was Not the first person To Claim that Name
Hold on. I remember watching the cartoon series back in the 60's . When Namor clashed with the army he got shot. How did he become bulllet proof?
Whatever that is Disney is trying to pawn off isn’t Namor. I said what I said.
My favorite character.
Mine too. I got into Namor heavily from his early 90s series. It was so good.
Namor vs Aquaman?
Since you did the origin of Sonic the Hedgehog characters Tails and Knuckles in your previous video, when are you going to do history of Sonic the Hedgehog himself?
Since you did the history of Miss Marvel Kamala Khan, Can you please do origin of the Nega Bands in your next video since that's going to be the source of Miss Marvel getting her powers in the MCU?
Finally
I love Namor. He’s been a favorite of mine for a long time, but this version from the BP2 movie is NOT Namor! I’m just not happy about this at all. I thought Henry Golding would’ve been a better Namor
They better not kill this guy off in the film
Admiral Byrd’s journey of exploring the Antarctic is crazy. Look it up on RUclips for a good hollow earth conspiracy story.
Namor!!!!
How was Namor the first mutant? He wasn't the first Apocalypse was the first mutant.
@nature93 not canonically no but in real life named Moore was the first character to be classified as a beauty like 20 years before the X-Men
Not within the Marvel universe but within our universe as in publication date. Namor is Marvel’s first character but the character is also a mutant meaning he is Marvel’s first mutant to debut in comics.
@@arfhat89 they did that with apocalypse in dark Phoenix the movie. The writers stay changing something
Who was the first mutant gets changed alot.
Selene is the first mutant
Hey, don't forget that Namor was also fighting the war as a member of the INVADERS, with Captain America and the android Human Torch.
Yes, he was the powerhouse of the team for sure.
Bout time you did this orgin story
I definitely like the direction this new Namor has taken. Even reinvention of his spanish name NA-MOR fits his attitude perfectly.
That's bull crap
Spanish? Atlantic Ocean is now suddenly in the Pacific/ Gulf of Mexico. He’s got a nose plug. Yeah, fantastic casting Disney!
Namor is Roman spelled backwards. It has nothing to do with it being Spanish or any other language. Everett liked it because it sounded regal. Also he is a mutate, not a mutant, because he was alive inside his mother when she drank the potion to give her water breathing abilities. Movie Namor's body was altered by the potion so his powers didn't happen because of the "X genes" like Cyclops had.
Namor's origin in Wakanda is so much better than him just being from Atlantis.
YES ! And it has so much more emotional depth too
No
Hell no. Go read the comics. 🤦♂️
I disagree. Telocan makes zero sense AND the design of namor is a godly swimmers body. That means smooth skin and no facial hair. Also why would he be brown when he’s under water for most of the time. The movie version is telling us they didn’t think out the details without telling us they didn’t think out the details. Would’ve made more sense if it was a hidden Asian style country or “island”.
@@kleeklee4572 why so?
really cool
I thought namor was an alanteen not a mutant
Namor is both Atlantean and Mutant. He was born and raised in Atlantis, but a human-Atlantean hybrid born with genetic mutations that made him far beyond the regular human or Atlantean. His oxygen imbalance issues are one of his major weaknesses that crop up in the comics from time to time.
🔥
