The Ever Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing can't ever seem to catch a break, can he? For more awesome content, check out: whatculture.com/ Follow us on Facebook at: / whatculture Catch us on Twitter: / wc_comics
SPOILER: I like the story where he saves a girl from being mugged, has a relationship with her, wants to marry her, she gets kidnapped by the dude that changes his form to whatever he touches, and then its revealed she hired him to take a piece of Thing's armor to manufacture with her company. She never loved Thing and stated "how could anyone love something like you". He was so heart broken he literally ripped a chunk of himself off and gave it to her.
He did get the ability to do so thanks to a watch during the spiderman animated series equivalent of secret wars. He unfortunately lost the item in question once the challenge was comple and things were reset back to normal.
I always find it morbidly funny how when a hero kills a villain, they are jailed in the same place as the villains they put away, not only that but then when a villain destroys whole cities, kills hundreds of people or harms the hero's lives, the villain is almost never permanently put away but instead is basically put under a similar jail area, that doesn't ever seem to work at either changing their minds or helping to make the villain rethink their idea's...kinda sounds like our own world where the justice system never really works except for the .01%.
Yup. Because why bother reforming criminals when it's so much more satisfying to treat them worse then zoo animals? Sure it's way more expensive, way less effective, a massive detriment to society, and does nothing but spread human suffering, but here in the USA we're all about making sure people get what they deserve!* *Unless they're rich, of course. Because money is the same thing as virtue, so having a lot of it must make you a saint.
Ah, Aunt Petunia is fine. Pretty sure Doom undid just about everything his former master did purely out of spite for him. And, you know...for turning his blood into lead and feeding him to a megaladon.
@@SilverByakuya It's fine. Doom was actually standing there watching the Marquis of Death fight his past self. So he got the last laugh, even if he had to stand there and watch his own defeat to do it.
4:39 This is why I love The Thing. He's actively transforming into a human pineapple, and yet the first thought upon hearing someone in need is: "Can't think about *myself* right now." He may not be all too bright or nuanced, but he's wise and down-to-earth in a way that ironically makes him the most human member of the Fantastic Four.
@@michaell6807 too many people think being smart and being strong can only be separate. Thing wasn’t on Mr. Fantastic or Dr. Doom’s level of intelligence but Thing was very bright.
I'm pretty sure that in the Ultimate universe he gets that in a way, it was revealed that his "Thing" form was a sort of cacoon state and then when he finally bursted from it, he was resembled his human appearance before the accident but he was purple and emanating energy and more powerful(he was basically that universes version of Wonder Man) and he could change back and forth between the two forms depending on the situation (Thing form for defense and Purple form for power)
I like how the thing looks in older comics because of the lack of most lines and cracks that make him look like a walking wall he legitimately looks like a person who’s covered in lumps and is swollen
I was never much into the Fantastic 4 as far as collecting or reading the comics regularly. I was, of course, aware of them (how could a Marvel Comics reader not be) through crossovers. From doing so, I always wondered why Thing wore a helmet for a time. Now, I know...
Unfortunately characters with angst issues like the Thing, Spider-man and Cyclops are never allowed to ever move past those things. Any writer that does progress them past that will see their efforts wasted as the latest writer after them reverts them back to what they consider his 'proper' version. So some writer will always come along and go 'oh this won't do, Thing's supposed to be miserable because he can't be human or happy.'
There was a storyline where The Thing died and Reed built a *portal to the afterlife* to drag him back despite his wishes to stay in paradise where he was free of his deformed body. The kicker was the bit where they met “God” before returning to Earth, who turned out to be the artist.
Before even playing the video...I need to see the end of Secret Wars when he gets dumped for Johnny Storm. Reading that as a kid depressed the hell out of me. That's my number one.
That’s like taking your friend who has a severe disability’s girlfriend. You could’ve had any other woman, but you chose the ONE person who he loved. Thankfully it wasn’t the real Alicia, but I’d never be able to forgive a friend or family member for doing that to me.
I am not normally one to turn away from something, just because it's depressing, but I just got past 3 and I don't want to see any more sad things The Thing has gone through. Three was enough.
Let's not forget.."Secret Wars" was Marvel's chance to remove the FF from the books for a couple years...since they wanted the movie rights from Fox. So to me, they were being petty....but the FF a good "For now" send off.
Him going spiky wasn't bad at all in my opinion and finally made him a REAL heavy hitter. Always felt he got shafted by being turned into a LITERAL monster and still have his but handed to him by the hulk who was for all intents just a green oversized human. (An incredibly strong one, but still human)
I really loved the pep talk after the exciting video, it's the first I've ever encountered here on RU-vid and it definitely made my day, is Thank you very much sir
Doom didnt rewrite personalities in Secret Wars. He took a Sue Storm that didnt have a Reed, Dr Strange was still himself but he believed everyone else had died and Doom held the universe together as best as he could so he accepted being Dooms right hand, and the villains were all just overpowered by Doom so they had little choice but to kneel. Doom did a lot of mental manipulation, but he didnt often just rewrite peoples minds in secret wars. That just seemed like a really weird thing to put in the script when its pretty openly explained why the people mentioned did what they did.
There is also the time when it is revealed that he always had the power to change back into his human form but couldn't do due to his subconscious prefering the rocky and when they found out he no longer had the power change due to the hundreds of attempts to "heal" him.
shows pictures about hulk and the thing ".. calm and collected..." ... admittedly we are talking about Jules here, those two would not stand a chance against him and jeremy XD
To be honest, I think that there's enough story potential for The Thing to have his own movie, or at least his own extended story arc. He really should be a more popular character.
I don't think mutating again was bad, he was alread used to looking like a monster, and now he was twice as resistant and twice as strong, and his knuckles where like knifes
It’s interesting… She-Thing actually looks more like the original “dinosaur hide” concept for The Thing’s appearance. (He kept getting penciled with this look for a while, despite the final comics using a rockier appearance)
Nope, Spiderman and the Human Torch are in fact best friends, when they first appeared they were the only teenage heroes around (excluding the X-Men) and had lots of adventures together in the Marvel Team Up comic.
When Jerry Lee Lewis was 26 he married a 13 year old first cousin once removed years later they divorced and some time after that he married the ex-wife of another first cousin once removed.
That was remake of The Thing movie which predates The Fantastic Four comic book although in the original it did not have all that shape shifting and The Thing was played by James Arness before he played Marshal Matt Dillon on Gunsmoke.
