Once more you have utterly failed to disappoint. While I've adored your methodology from the first; to hear you personally detail that - your journey, your formative process, your CV, as it were - is, was, and likely always will be a delight. This isn't just for its own sake, mind, but rather it's a delight because of how clearly the through-line of your passion is presented. The obvious and un-abject smile that kept creeping onto your face was bright enough to not just shine, but blaze through on your audio. As much as I enjoy your content, as a rule, I think hearing not just the story of Insert-Character(s)-Here, but of "you", in a very real sense... It isn't just ok for you to have offered this up; it's "right" that you offered it up in this format, at this time. One of the things I've always loved about your work is that you always, always speak with passion. You speak, perform, narrate - orate in a way that feels genuine, and shows active drive. As I may have mentioned in previous comments on previous videos (not that I expect you to remember,) I'm legally blind. Comics are no longer an option for me. Too much vision loss. To have work like yours - deep dive, passionate drives up and down amnesia lane (all respect to Dead Poet's,) is something I can't oversell my appreciation for. Would still love to work with you, or just buy you a pint when I fly back overseas at year's end. Regardless, let me once more say it. Thank you, mate. Thank you largely. ~JP Corwyn

This, as with your last comment, was incredibly wonderful to read, and I cannot thank you enough. I have a confession as well. Last year I was diagnosed with Kerataconus. I didn't understand the full extent of this until the sight in my right eye started to deteriorate. There is no cure, currently, for Kerataconus, just management treatments that unfortunately I am not currently taking well to. I have no idea how much worse my vision will get, but it's actually made editing videos slightly more of struggle than it was (if people notice anything off centre in a video, it's because I can't judge edges very well anymore without squinting extremely hard.) My right eye, currently, is mostly blurred, and text ghosts above itself when I read letters. To be able to make content that gives you comics back in a different medium is something I get more now than I used to, WAY more than I used to. Really hope I can keep that up for you and others in the future if possible.

Wow, you artsy types sure do use some flowery language. But, B-mask enjoyed it, so good job you. Pretty long winded way to say something made you happy though. Heh, Theater nerds. Never change guys. And I do mean that. I'm not being mean spirited in the slightest. I genuinely enjoy seeing such a vastly different perspective and method of expression. It's great. Hey B-Mask, you ever consider doing a video on the Commedia dell'arte? I heard it mentioned by a dude named Brian David Gilbert and ever since then I've been curious about what, exactly, it is. I know the basics. Character archetypes that are themselves, not characters but concepts of characters. You know, the basics. But Is there really anything to the idea that Fire Emblem is based on the Commedia dell'arte? I want to explore this line of theater thinking, and I can't think of anyone better at elaborating points in detail then you. Since you've got a theater background you'd be perfect for this.

I am so sad about the general negativity of the internet, but bloody hell, seeing you genuinely GENUINELY love that stuff is just wonderful. I prefer seeing someone talking about something they love vs listening to people ape the AVGN or Plinkett. I get it. Spewing bile is fun. But listening to you just show your love of a medium I love is just validating for me and giving me as much of a reason to STILL love those characters. Oh, btw, your scene in Sly of "Ditko vs Romita"? Made me know you were legit. Hell, when you put up your thing on twitter and mentioning Sonic the comic?

And that days of the future past never happened thanks to the Fantastic Family.

Knowing more about the process of making the F4 retrospective gives me an even greater appreciation for the work that went into it than I had before. I said it in my last comment, but it's worth reiterating. It really is a great video. Seeing Thunderbolts mentioned at all as a potential future topic made me very excited. Normally I'd be all for a video essay about Spider-Man but Thunderbolts is always one of those things that goes just under the radar so it could definitely stand to have more exposure. Fabian Nicieza's run on the book is easily my favorite but seeing any of them covered would be great. Well, any of them except for Fightbolts but we don't talk about that.

Thank you, and glad to see a fellow T-Bolts fan! I agree, Fabians run was strong and probably the closest they got to being a team of genuine heroes out of either the Avengers or Zemo's shadow. A video on them would be shorter and probably only focus on a couple of major points- I don't even think i'd go much further than the Osborn era- but i've got a pretty good idea of how to structure it to get the most of their history in. Will be a long while before I'll know if it's in production but do stay tuned!

Fantastic stuff once again - as I said in my comments on your first FF video, I really hope you get a chance to do a sequel about the Silver Surfer and/or John Byrne's She-Hulk someday, yes...? (Or better yet, Marvel and/or IDW's Transformers comics...). Also, when you mentioned that you wanted to do a Spidey video, part of me hopes that it'll involve Kurt Busiek's 'Untold Tales of Spider-Man' run from the mid-'90s, as it's a) horribly underrated in general, and b) the '96 Annual of that series, wherein Spidey goes on a date with Sue Storm in order to spite Johnny is a real hidden gem - and with groovy Mike Allred art to boot!!! PS: Yellow Submarine references in a future FF movie? Yes please...!!! Also, the only actor that I'm set on in my dream FF movie cast is Matt Smith as Reed Richards, but your cast sounds great too, yes...? PPS: Just thought I'd let you know that I've since seen your Scooby-Doo video to boot, and I thought it was very groovy too - makes me wonder what a FF/Scooby crossover and or mash-up would be like, eh? (It'd certainly be cool to see Scooby himself hanging out with Lockjaw, for example; or to hear a Thing-like Shaggy say 'Zoinks! I guess It's Clobberin' Time, huh Scoob...?!'). Excelsior...!!!

You probably won't see this but thank you so, SO much for making your original video. I've always had an interest in the F4 (me and my three guy friends were called the fantastic four when I was in elementary lol) but besides the crappy movies and ok tv shows, I didn't know where to start. Your video was perfectly well made and I felt a lot of emotions through the whole thing. I liked that you went over the music you used in this vid - my favorite bits were the Marvel vs. Capcom 3 songs you threw in there, because that's one of my favorite games ever and it's the game that made me love Dr. Doom. So when you used the mvc credits theme! In the credits!! I literally cried!!! lol. Anyway your original vid also convinced me to give the Waid run a shot. The misogyny in the Lee/Kirby and Byrne runs is kind of cringy to me but the Waid run has been spectacular. I've laughed and cried at it so much already, I don't want it to end. I'm going to start the Hickman run after this (I am ready to get hurt some more lol). The story of the F4 is truly beautiful and they have always had an oddly special place in my heart. Thanks for helping me understand why I found them so compelling in the first place, and thank you for helping me love them even more.

I'm particularly interested in your opinion on Luigi's Mansion 3. 👻 Have to say, your sense of drama makes for a distinct flavour compared to other... analysts? Reviewers? Whichever you prefer, it's cool. _I won't lie,_ I frequently go back to part 1 of _the Sly Cooper retrospective_ just to hear you talk about *Clockwerk.* I suppose since the character is relatively obscure, I've rarely seen or heard anyone who treats him with the same reverence. Heck, even pointing out how insanely unsettling the very character concept is. It's actually made me look back on Sly 1 with *real paranoia,* thinking "Good God, what if he's actually _out there?_" Using the unsettling sounds of _The Swamp's Dark Centre_ helped to hammer it home. 😨 I feel you did the same for getting across the magnificence of *Dr Doom.* There's that might and muted intimidation that he exudes as well as the unique, bombastic arrogance. Not even *Lex Luthor* has that unique energy. I _adore_ Luthor's smug and sneery demeanour, but Doom is _serious._ Doom is kind of _scary._ Doom is _Doom._ Anyhoo, good work. Always glad to see more.

I always find it surprising how long your videos are, especially since yours making money off doing them. Normally you would split videos like this into seperate parts or segments to avoid burnout, give yourself more content in between, and more time to plug the holes and fill out the seams for a more complete package, including adding in things you might have missed or thought out more later on. Plus it is very hard to hold a group of people's attention for this length of time. So, in addition to your content being very well done and a joy to watch, the fact that you did these videos in such a way is both impressive and intriguing. I'm curious as to why you do your videos in such a way?

Great question! Funnily enough I did consider breaking the FF video into parts at one point- to be honest it would actually be more convenient as my current setup prevents me from fast uploads (looking to get that sorted soon.) However, there's a part of me that feels like I have only one opportunity to gather up all these ideas and thoughts on a subject and get them all into one video, like a painting I can hang on the wall and just be its own thing forever. It's like an excorcism, I like to think that, once everything I really want to say is in that video, I feel way less like I have to keep putting it out there in different online posts or conversations, I have a solid thing I can point to where all my feelings on the matter are. That being said, I'm working towards doing shorter content more frequently precisely because the burnout is very real. FF was the last of the HUGE projects I knew I wanted to do for the channel, everything else I can think of right now is pretty short form. Not to say there won't be any bigger videos in the future, but if I want to keep growing and also focus on my own life I need to keep videos to a viable length and production quality.

As someone who consumes streams and podcasts, I actually liked this. Sad that it's a one-shot, but the quality is undeniable. Gonna use this to show my friends why the F4 are the best (and why Ben Grimm is the best of the best).

Alright, here’s one: who’s your creative dream team on Fantastic Four? Your video made me realize something important: no woman has ever written the series. No MOM has ever written the series. So in that regard, I know I’d really love to see Kelly Sue DeConnick take a crack at it, along with either Chris Samnee or Christian Ward doing the art. Maybe ever have them switch off. Earth stories go to Samnee, space to Ward.

Okay here’s a movie pitch for... It’s a movie where the four are an established team, they’ve been around fire a little over a year, but they haven’t saved the world from like a Galactus or anything. The crux of the plot is about Sue Storm getting pregnant and the struggles that came with that both in crime fighting and around the Baxter Building. A few villains do show up, but it’s not really about that, it’s about the four’s life leading up to Franklin’s birth, and the changes they go through to prepare.

Haha yes! Shannon, the first VA I cast, was awesome too, but sadly her situation changed and she was unable to record for any projects afterwards. I did message her before the FF video casting to check in on her and sadly she was still unavailable. Would happily work with her again too if given the opportunity.

Great Job man! Incredible retrospective and essay! I have watched your beyond pictures series since Sly 1 and got immediately hooked on all your videos. Im not going to lie, I have wanted to make essay based videos (mostly retrospective based) and I’ve been funneling some ideas through the format that I seem to view your videos from, they all differ in incredible ways. Specifically I wanted to talk about the power of music in animation especially the music by John Powell. I’m in your boat where I’m super passionate about music and how it feels but have little to no talent when it comes to playing... Anyways, any tips when it comes to writing a retrospective about the music in entertainment? Thanks again for inspiring me so much! Keep up the fantastic work!

Your Fantastic Four documentary was well-written, well-put and well done, especially your choice of music. Speaking of which, what was the music score used in the end credits, you know, the one after the acapella version of the 90s Fantastic Four cartoon theme? Just wondering cause, that music is well suited for the FF themselves (if it was made into a well made movie for the MCU) or the type of music I hear when I have my adventures in the world of fiction.

I’m going to be honest with you, the only time I ever read any comics with the F4 in them was the introduction to Spiderman. I’ve always been drawn to the more “basic bitch” characters like Wolverine, Thor, Daredevil, etc. I’ve had this belief that the F4 are lame but in hindsight that was because of the movies. Your video made me realize just how wrong I was about Marvel’s first family. For someone unfamiliar with the F4, what is your go to if you’re trying to introduce them to a new reader?

Honestly i come to watch you very excitedly show us something meaningful to you. if you made something that we would love but you hated. i would feel that and be sad you bent yourself so far to please an audience instead of following what you love. while a little bending is fine (interest in a subject isn't a yes/no affair). i just hope you don't drop things that you love with the thought "nobody will ever want to see this". Thank you for reading this.
