Chris Claremont: An Interview! 

Watching this video for the first time. Claremont's take on what he would love to see in Infinity War warmed my heart. His take on Wolverine appearing like that had me in stiches. His writing is just too good for this world! Wish we got that scene.

You two need to start a weekly X-podcast! This was great!!

How the hell did you manage to get an hour interview with this man? DAAAMN, OMAR!

This was PERFECT! Bet you were in heaven the entire time. Mr. Claremont is a really funny guy and I agree with what you said. Marvel might own the characters but Mr. Claremont gave them their voices. WELL DONE ladies and gents!

I love how he just fan fics about the movies. These are like conversations I have with myself. 😂 Man, Chris Claremont is a fucking team.player that he followed you to a second location to continue talking. This is simply amazing.

Great interview omar. I could listen to this guy speak all day!

They kicked a legend out of the hotel? They should be ashamed. This conversation is fantastic. Loving every minute of it. It is funny he mentions how he wanted to bring in a female audience, because one of my best friends in middle and high school was a girl that loved the X-Men as much as I did and it was the only comic she loved. Her favorite character was Storm. So he absolutely brought in women in a way no other American comics at the time did.

Omar! How could you not just want to hug this man the entire time? This is so much fun to listen to. The man behind so many stories and as you said before your childhood and he's right beside you.

This was a great interview in that you approached it as a fan and Chris responded both as a fellow fan and to fans.

Thanks for this, Omar. Mr. Claremont penned some of the most memorable stories of my childhood. Loved the characters he wrote, and how he made them "feel" real. Wonderful memories. Thank you, Chris.

so good...can't believe you got kicked out of your first location. ah the out takes!! :P this made my day :) have some fun with the oxford comma or lack of... remember that weekend at c2e2 where i drank too much one night and got kicked out of a hotel with Chris Claremont

Awesome interview, love Clermont stories...

NO EFFIN WAY! EPIC!!!!

Wow. Wow. Wow. This was freaking amazing!!! I don't have the words to praise this interview enough. Omar, I hope you feel very proud and have a real sense of fulfillment for doing such an amazing job. To say that I'm jealous that you got to not only meet the man but spend that time with him goes without saying. Omar, you've done a lot of great stuff for this channel but this blows everything else away IMHO. I wish I could think of something grander to say to you then "Well done" but I'm at a loss for words right now. VERY well done, my friend, VERY well done. #OmarRules

I haven't even started the interview and i'm giddy with excitement. I can't imagine how you felt! NMC is the channel FOR THE PEOPLE!

that was awesome!!!!!!

Omar, this one was the greatest interview ever. I had not yet seen an interview with Chris Claremont like this. It's really great that he made his way into comics and wrote so many great stories for X-Men (and others). Great to see his fan side, and also how cool he was for the 2nd part of the interview. It was also great to see him "daydreaming" on how to introduce the X-Men in the MCU, even though I guess that probably the FF will be introduced first. Avengers Endgame is a good opportunity for it, just a guess. I'll be re-watching this video quite a few times. Fastball-Special!!

Omar, great interview! It's always fascinating how candid and (rightfully) critical about the industry Claremont is, yet always so full of ideas and just a fan of the characters and great stories. I'm glad you met one of your idols to chat about X-Men and share it with all of us. Thank you!

One of the best interviews with Claremont ever!

Chris Claremont LEGEND

Damn, bro...nice interview.

I know he's also written novels, so I would love for Chris Claremont to write a book - or at least an outline - about all the dangling threads he never resolved in the X-Men and what he had originally planned to do with them. He's given the details on some, but there are SO MANY STILL!!! Also, I want this man to know I am probably the only goddamn person in the world who has Sage as their favorite X-Man.

One hour interview with Chris Claremont! Omar's dream come true.

That had to be awesome to sit there with the man that came up with all those great x-men stories!

Amazing interview, thx guys. Have a great day.

Awesome interview with a legend. Thank you.

It was a great interview 10/10!

Wow! El interview con una leyenda. What a great opportunity for you to have done this. This goes down on the history books. Thanks for sharing! Firme y adelante!

Holy shit Omar. Great work. Can see this video being your most successful by a long way. Awesome stuff!!

Awesome video thank you mate. Chris is one of my favourite story tells

CHRIS “AMAZING” CLAREMONT I love X-Men and every X “X-Force Excalibur New Mutants “ Comeback to write from MARVEL ... And come here to BRASIL 🇧🇷 in CCXP in December

Never watched interviews that was a mistake its great to get a feel for who Claremont is as a person and see his thought process about different plots great video omar

I love seeing Claremont talking about Carol's friendship with the X-Men. I hope in another dimension he could make great stories with Ms. Marvel, and for a long time, just like he did with the mutants. Congratulations, great interview! P.S. 8:23 He predicted the end of GOT!

Chris Claremont an amazing British man ahead of his time.

Awesome! I was waiting for you to post this interview!! I knew you interviewed him and I watched your other vids but I thought maybe something happened to your digital file for this interview. Thanks so much for taking the time to do these interviews, I really enjoyed them! I think you've found your other profession if you wanted to get out of IT!! ;-)

I am in awe of this gentleman , just purchased 2 Story Board Pages , Sovereign 7 , Thank you ...

I wonder how long Claremont takes ordering dinner 😂

That was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When you suggested Michael Biehn as Cyclops I immediately thought of that scene in Step Brothers with Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly: Ferrell: Did we just become best friends? Reilly: Yup!

Could you ask him when marvel will reprint those bloody Xmen omnibus whales that no one can afford😂

Very enjoyable and great interview Omar!!

You. Lucky. Banana. And it's an hour!

Awesome interview Omar! I'm a big fan of Chris and especially his X-Men run. I was thinking of getting the "Marvel Universe by Chris Claremont" hardcover (Omnibus format with over 1000 pages). But I was wondering, have you read it? And if you have, what did you think of it? How was the art for example? Thanks for your time & take care!

EXCEPTIONAL interview with Claremont. This needs to be rewatched a couple of times, as he is really cooking with the comments. I especially liked his choice of casting Bob Hoskins as Wolverine, who would have been amazing. (Think of Hoskins in THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY, PENNIES FROM HEAVEN and MONA LISA.) Omar, you had a really good rapport with Claremont, as he talked about a lot of subjects that were new to me. I also enjoyed how both of you recovered from being chased out of the hotel lobby by some clueless DICK. Thanks for this wonderful in-depth interview with one of the giant creators of Marvel.

13:31 *_"...grab the glove!!"_* 😂

Amazing!

His ideas for continuing the X-Men movie franchise was actually solid (obliviously), you can tell he loves seeing his characters on the big screen. Like all of us he's excited to see what the MCU will do with the X-Men.

Wow, really cool interview!

Wow this was awesome

Ok this man just made his point about correcting the X's movies in the right way. Fox should have listen to him all along.

CHRIS FREAKING CLAREMONT!!!

What a creative genius

A fantastic writer 👍🏾👍🏾

Literally got goosebumps when he said “here’s our daughter Rachel”

only just watched this. How awesome was that meeting Mr Claremont?

Chris and Omar go back aways. Chris used to write Omar for 17 years.

Genial!!!! gracias

This interview was indeed to short, Omar geeking out over Chris, great hearing the guy talk about out favorite mutants!

Daw~ he's such a nice man.

Chris , ..please take over the great man's (sir Stan) right to appear in every marvel movie...

Which issues from start to finish did he write wow

So much of me wants to dislike this video because of pure jealousy!! But I won't. Saw about 10 minutes of the interview...will watch later. Interview Jason Aaron!

Which book are those panels of Jean and Sarah from? I know they're not from Uncanny.

Did CC actually give away the ending of GoT? "who says there will be a throne?"

Fucking genius

Seeing this in 2021, you guys are sitting waaaay to close.

0:42 ouch, Chris

You guys think Omar has a man crush on Wolvie? Because i only heard him mention it 4 million times so i'm still not sure.

Dude I just bought aqmuan and spider verse the ending has a love letter to Stan Lee Omar you might like both of them lol

Holy FUCK!

How come no one ever asks him about Legion in these interviews?

Now, I’m going ask the important question. Did Claremont give you any free stuff?

He seems to just want things to go his way and that ideas from other people aren’t as good. He holds himself in a higher opinion above all others.

#ChrisFUCKINClaremont.

Imagine being the guy that kicked The X-men out of your hotel lobby

i remember my friend and i reading the story where they killed Dark Phoenix and she was so pissed. She said 'Who cares if she destroyed a planet full of useless blue people!'...lmao. I thought that was so funny.,

How come Shooter never held Galactus accountable who killed billions? Jean was a cosmic force like Galactus. Jean was seeking sustenance just like Galactus did.🤬

What’s wit da subliminal messages?

Great creator and writer, but he seems quite smug and up himself. It’s not what he’s saying it’s how he says it. Seems like he thinks he’s better than other people.

This was PERFECT! Bet you were in heaven the entire time. Mr. Claremont is a really funny guy and I agree with what you said. Marvel might own the characters but Mr. Claremont gave them their voices. WELL DONE ladies and gents!
