I wonder does he asked the guests in much they willing to spend?
Did y'all cancel this?
Maybe because his performance is fresh in my mind, dude could pull off a really good Silver Surfer.
Tremendous choice, wish I thought of that. Very commanding and recognizable voice
I also just really like what Yahya said about how he portrayed Manhattan about how far to lean into humanity or godliness.
yoooooooo GREAT shout
AMazing choice honestly, Id love to see this.
Wow that’s perfect
Dude has a mega-watt smile. Little wonder, the way his career is going.
“Where did you send them? Why didn’t you send me?”
“Because... I didn’t want to be alone when I die.”
Lindelof and Yahya made me genuinely care about Manhattan like I never did before, and even managed to break my heart. He’s truly a great pick for the role.
Probably why they didnt always have his eyes glowing. THey wanted us to feel the emotions from Manhattan, to see his human eyes. I think he was Cal for so long that he still felt his humanity as he was "dying", so they wanted to keep some human connection still, hence the eyes. Otherwise I REALLY wish they wouldve kept his eyes glowing with the black shade around them.
Who knew Dr Manhattan was such a romantic
Game Boy What can I look up to find your profile pic 😭
😂😂😂😂... I also kinda cried when I watched that scene... plus black love that was shown and is usually scarce in media.
@@psytron939 somebody else explained this so well for why they kept his eyes... as i did on haters RUclips comment on why they didn't keep his eyes...
Yahya comes across as not fake, down to earth dude. Also glad unlike a lot of actors cast in comic book properties admitted he wasn't a fan.
yeah most of them do the fake research they parodied on Entourage with the fake Aquaman movie. it's very weird.
Love his explanation though: "I was in debate club, I was in chess club... comics were a little too nerdy for me" XD
And unlike Jake Gyllenhaal who couldn't even feign respect for the medium, Yahya seems actually open to it.
The man is working.
Black manta
Dr manhanttan
Matrix 4
Keep going dude
And then Black Mirror this year, he's in US, man is killinggggg it
Matrix 4? woot
@tyrese smith Yep!
Don't forget black mirror, he was fucking dope in that too...
@Elliepopcorn YES!
Cast this man in everything please. Could have been a great John Stewart
He is doing good as black manta
True. I hope they give him a bigger role in the sequel.
Or sliver surfer
imma be real....dc gave him manta...so marvel should give him BLUE MARVEL...as for john stewart green lantern...thats for my boy Sterling K.
lol the guy in chess club thought comic books were too nerdy...
As another chess nerd I agree, lol.
😂😂😂😂I swear the micro discrimination within nerds group is hilarious.
I love his honestly. He said he didn't into comics but he is here to learn. Most of the actors straight up says they been reading comics their whole life and don't know jack shit about comics
"is there a such thing as pop up comics"
Wow that is the most Architect-like question I've ever heard asked about comics (!)
Djo Fortunato not to mention, that’s not a bad idea. I think I would be interested in seeing those type of comics going forward. That would be intriguing.
@@ainsgrant absolutely !!! Can we get a pop up comic from and about him ??
I know there’s a pop up comic of spirit but that’s the only one I remember
He should get that old Jack Kirby 3D comic
There’s a few pop up comics! And a Stephen king pop up book. But I mean since it’s all contemporary can’t it just be called a comic?
Honestly this is the BEST stack a guest has ever left with. Yahya is a chill dude.
Officer K found out dude went to Yale and Berkeley and had to up my game. A FINELY HONED STACK
Yahya is just dripping with swag
See how the real comic book nerd and the comic book actor really appreciate whatever the great comic books are and where it came from. Not like those ameuters who fight everyday in the comment sections of every DC/ Marvel movies videos.
One my favorite actors working today. Loving the choices of people coming on the show. Coy is just a wealth of knowledge lol. Watchman show was amazing.
Knew Yayha was someone to keep an eye out for since The Get Down. Good to see he's killin it out there!
I've seen almost all of these, and I've never seen anyone so eager to learn about comics than Yahya. I hope this guy's career goes far. He's fantastic.
YAM-II is a national treasure. Another great episode from Coy and crew.
A god walks into a Comic book store
Not my Dr. Manhattan, sorry
This guest was really into it
This guy has so much charisma
Yes, a Master's from Yale in acting is impressive, but in all honesty, his Bachelor's from Berkeley in architecture is waaaaaay more impressive from an intellectual rigor standpoint, not to mention the all-nighters required of an architecture student (often 2-3 per week) are borderline criminal.
Chris Beffa I couldn’t FATHOM that amount of knowledge. Definitely did my due diligence on this episodes comic pulls accordingly
Brilliant man...
Manhattan, Black Manta, Could be an amazing Silver Surfer, and an amazing John Stewart too. This man has a bright future in movies.
He was great in Black Mirror too, and I can't wait to see what he does in the Matrix 4. I normally don't like using cliche lines like this, but this guy is one to watch.
Hoping Wan utilizes him better in AQUAMAN 2 cause he was great in Black Mirror & WATCHMEN as Dr. Manhattan. Would love to see him in the MCU as well as say Kang the Conqueror, Dr. Doom, or Blue Marvel.
you know James wan will deliver
@@kavari3444 he or whoever wrote that script for Black Manta didn't the first time so... But I do think he'll do a better job handling him the second time around
@@jennajamez1967 James wan is one of the best directors right now from fast and the furious 7 to aquaman amazing camera work to Transformers.. he got this
@@jennajamez1967 yes script for Black Manta was a bit off
Wow Dr Doom is an interesting choice. Thats cool asf.
Sneaker shopping....but with comics 🤙🏽
living vicariously through good sir Coy right now. so good!
What a cool dude! Wish I could walk out with $250 of comics every time haha
ME TOO! Iv been saving up (I shit you not) to buy those 3 Hardcover Saga’s!
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II is awesome 🙂
YAY! OMG Coy I’m so excited you got to talk to Yahya! He seems so laid back and down-to-earth!
I love how he lets it slip that he's Dr. Manhattan halfway through this.
best show on the internet
questhate 6664 thanks so much! I love doing it
This man is WORK WORKING, so proud of him
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but...I really loved Yahya's portrayal of Cadillac in The Get Down. It is a shame Netflix cancelled the second season as they were in the process of making it.
Coy: "I know issue one is sitting right there, but let's start you at issue 3."
W H A T
This dude is my idol. He is such an amazing actor and a humbled down to earth man
Coy you’re the best. sending love
I enjoyed HBO's Watchmen. Yahya is an awesome actor.
Awesome episode Coy. My favourite so far. Yahya was just amazing.
Man, I love this guy!
Coy you’re absolutely killing it with these! Great job!
Please bring this show back on collider.
Great guest! Love his enthusiasm and willingness to learn!
I love these videos so much! Great job!
It’s crazy how much of a difference a beard and a smile makes. I didn’t realize that he was Black Manta and Doctor Manhattan just because he looks so different when he smiles. Amazing
Great episode once again! Love this series, keep the episodes coming please !!
Enjoyed that alot. Keep'em coming.
That is a beautiful man right there
was literally just thinking to myself last night that Silver Surfer is a really cool character, I wonder if he has any current comics? Just ordered Silver Surfer: Black. Thanks Coy!
Pete Rich hell yeah!
Super-fun, Coy! Thanks!
Every one of Coy's pulls from that week's comics were great! Frankly that whole stack he gave him was a real solid selection. Marauders has been the best Dawn of X book (with XForce & New Mutants being tied for 2nd)
He would be a perfect Silver Surfer
Silver Surfer Black.
Best. Comic. Of. The. Year.
Dang is he and Mahershala Ali having a contest on who will cover the most characters in their respective comic book universes?
Lipstick Zombie if you’ve got Maharsha’s contact I will moderate this debate on an ep
Yeah yeah comics. But im here for this man's beauty. I'm a fan of his acting but his vanity is why I'm committed to wanting to know so much more 😍
So great as Cadillac in The Get Down
Man I hope I get to work with Yahya in a film one day, he’s future Oscar winner.
Great list of comics Coy has selected.
how come y'all stopped posting these videos? they were my favourite!
This man IS Doctor Manhattan. Period.
He's actually a man who died in vietnam possibly of a heart attack
@@KINGKONG1OO he's actually the actor Yahya Abdul-Mateen II
Nah, he looked ridiculous. Billy Crudup IS Doctor Manhattan.
@@georgemirnich33 who the hell is that?
@@agonleed3841 He was Doctor Manhattan in the 2009 masterpiece by Zack Snyder.
I'd love to see more actors in comic book character roles which don't know a hell of a lot
dude was good as Dr Manhattan - but he was truly awesome as Black Manta!
Nice video! Gabriel Rodriguez the artist for Locke & Key is an architect as well, it would have been interesting to see him check out some of the building elevations/designs in that book.
And to think, acting was his plan B job.
MY BABY🥰🥰🥰
I think we've found the MCU's Adam Brashear aka Blue Marvel.
Raphael De La Ghetto Oh man he’d nail that role
Perfect for Morpheus. Hope he doesn't get the razor scars.
Great episode!
Great show again!
Super late on this, but just wanted to leave a comment and say well done to Coy who's filling some very big shoes and of course props to Yahya who is absolutely killing it and seems like an extremely relaxed dude! :-)
Cadillac with the get down in the comic shop.
Yet another great episode thanks Coy and crew. Who is the next guest of the show???
now that i know he went to school for architecture, he would make a great green lantern
omar johnson I see what you did there
He would have
I would also have pointed him to Promethea, which feels almost more Moore-ish as it's a completely original property. Or Tom Strong , or his brilliant run on SUPREME.
But whatever man. You do you.
*How could you share Marauders (written by my brothers buddy, Gerry Duggan) and NOT recommend House of X (?)
It seems like it might not make sense without it?
Also: for any actor of his calibre - X-Men "God Loves, Man Kills" would have been a real home run, I'd say :)
two most likable dudes on earth ahahaha
I think he'd be epic as either Bishop in a X-Men/Deadpool film OR Silver Surfer!
Coy: have you read Saga... of Swamp Thing
y'all knew what you were doing with that opening shot.
This series needs a “Read this book because I think you could play this character”.. a good example being when you gave him Silver Surfer..
Ryan Cass you think I recommended Mr Miracle to Jake by coincidence? ;-)
0:11
Bad ass😎
If this guy weren't already in the DCEU (or whatever they are calling it these days), he would have made a great John Stewart.
These videos need to BLOW UP (get more popular)
PeteBricky word of mouth! Share em! Pimp em! Help me grass roots this ish!
Can we shop at House of Secrets, just once? Please?
Also, Mauraders is one of my favorite books in a while. Glad you pulled it.
Love the show
Awesome channel.
Baaaabey this man is so damn fine!!!!!
Intro music sounds like the Key and Peele dubstep parody sketch
That comic book store has all of the rare collectables
If they ever decide to recast T’Challa, this is the guy I want
i like the alan moore run as much as the next but it honestly saddens me that everyone seems to ignore the entire swamp-thing run that came before
I would have given him moebius or James stoke for architectural stuff. Then maybe Manhattan projects by Hickman cause it’s so smart and strange...
Dude was a recently graduated architecture student who went to Yale for drama and he used to think (and probably still does think) that comics are nerdy?
truly you have to ask..is he really going to read all these books..they should do a followup episode asking them about what did they think of the books
Could see him playing val zod
I would have recomended him the Before Watchmen Dr Manhattan volume by JMS but those are nice picks
He probably already read it
Degree in Architecture?? Dammmm
8:53 handsome squidward!?
I’m surprised he didn’t recommend Saga again
He would be the perfect Spawn
Baby, we're in trouble...
Cool
why they make my mans wear a crop top jean jacket 😭
