Whilst MODOK isn’t my favourite villain, he has been in some of my favourite stories such as Jeph Lobe’s Hulk run and is the reason Thunderbolt Ross is able to turn into the Red Hulk.

@watcherofthemundane Год назад

I remember collecting marvel universe cards in the 90s, reading all the first appearance dates and realizing a lot of crucial characters debuted in 1963

@JD-iu6rv Год назад

I hope they don’t kill him off. He would be a cool villain to have come back in different movies. Like the first 15 mins bc he’s an obstacle

@ONLYALEXISOMAR Год назад

Would be a cool villain for the young avengers

@lexruptor Год назад

Who, Modok? Ew, now. Hopefully he's killed off. We need cool characters to not be killed off, the cringe can die.

@jonathanzimmerman634 Год назад

He’s played by the guy who played Yellowjacket, so this is their answer to what happened to him when he was shrunk to oblivion. It’s a great throw back to Scott’s origin.

@VinylSebas Год назад

Please don’t kill him off. I know berry little about MODOK but he’s already looked interesting to me. He doesn’t show up often in non comic book media. Hope they use him more than just this movie.

@protalghulnist4126 Год назад

@Bitmoji2468 Год назад

MODOK in the new Antman movie is probably the same version of Darren Cross from the first one, but at the end it's revealed he was sent to the quantum realm, but improperly, so his body was all messed up so Kang put him in the chair. His brain probably stayed the same size comparative to the rest of his body which will be the reason why his head is so large

@ianokay Год назад

Or he just fully entered the quantum realm but was experimented on by Kang due to his affiliation with Antman and created into MODOK

@igiveupfine Год назад

This is probably my favourite video in a while. It's much more like the older videos that got me checking out the channel in the first place. This video is more informative and focused, instead of just being loud and saying things are amazing. Loved this video, and learned a lot about a character I knew VERY little about. Would absolutely love to see more videos that feel like this one. It just feels more passionate, which is great. Had me wanting more.

Otherwise why would I be here. But Im providing feedback on what I enjoy more and praising how much I liked this video. That seems pretty positive to me.

@jackflash8218 Год назад

Agreed. Got really into Rob's vids precisely because he WASN'T the typical obnoxious, shouting RU-vidr. Then everything went wrong...

@EskimoKillaz Год назад

I think its the Darren Cross from Antman. When he imploded it actually shrunk him and deformed him while also sending him to the quantum realm. Kang then has him imprisoned, taken care of and gains info from him about Scott, Hank, Hope and Janet. Kang and Darren build the MODOK suit.

I don't believe it! You're finally covering MODOK. I know he's regarded as a C-lister, but his body horror is a great example of what Marvel could be.

@evenhartwick4422 Год назад

hes a C-Lister who used like an A-lister though. he's in surprisingly a lot of media outside of the comics. he's a major role in tones of cartoons like the 90s Iron Man as a main sidekick to the Mandarine, he's a main role in Super hero squad where he's a main sidekick to Dr.Doom. he makes appearances in tones of other shows. he's even on the villain team in that Phinias and Fred Marvel crossover. not to mention having his own cartoon, being a playable character in Marvel vs Capcom 3 and being the main villain of that new Avengers video game. its actually insane how many things Marvel has put him in over the years

@stevelucky7579 Год назад

Since your doing a run of the smartest people lately, will you do an explanation video on The Leader? Since his potential intelligence can surpass Doom and Reed, I think he is slept on. All he needs is one good story to show how dangerous he can be. Of course I don’t know if his intelligence is affected by his emotions or if it’s just a matter of recording information. In which case he just needs to watch a long video of everything reed has ever done on like 20X speed and he should be as smart as reed is thanks to his computer like brain.

@lordofninjas1 Год назад

He probably will, though much like this video it'll probably be closer to the Leaders MCU appearance which is Captain America 4 in May 2024. I think he has done stuff with the Leader in the past as well.

@Matt_El_Comicologo84 Год назад

Cool video Rob. And any of us that have read comic books, knows this is true. MODOK unfortunately was not taken seriously and turned down into a comedic/insulting role. He was an absolute menace (back then) and it also related correctly with the Iron Man cartoon tv series from the 90s (yes, he was more a henchman of The Mandarin but still, he was a serious character) and for the very least, he was serious on that awful cartoon Avengers Assemble. Other than that and in comic books, not so. And let's hope the MCU MODOK is a serious one and not a mediocre slap of cheap-455 comedic form (although, personally I don't like the idea that they are recycling actors for other characters that will be the case of Darren Cross, but, that's for the very least of my worries looking in hindsight)
