I really don't get the anti Mutant sentiment in comics anymore. You have all these superpowered beings, including ones like Hulk and Sentry that are mentally unstable and also Very capable of destroying the world. Some get their powers from chemicals. Some are aliens. Some are cyborgs or pure robots. But those are all fine, just hate on the ones who get powers from a genetic mutation. For some reason.
the allegory sorta doesnt work yea but also i think it's more mutants are considered unstable. Captain america is seen as a symbol and likely tied to the government (often seen as a symbol of security). People like thor are gods and iron man is a scientist. These are things that can mostly be anticipated. It's the same reason why hulk was often seen as a potential threat. When people cannot foresee something, they often fear it
Yeah, but then you have teams like the Power Pack or Future Foundation, which have two dinosaur-like characters on their team, and everyone is OK with them 😅
In a world of sentient robots, sorcerers, living gods, and cosmic entities just wanting a hamburger, hating on mutants is just dumb and a waste of everything lol.

The creepy thing about this comic is that the wild sentinels turn a plane into a fist and then ram it into the sky scraper Magneto is in. This happens in issue 3 of E for extinction, issue one dropped in May 2001, issue 3 dropped in July 2001. In September 2001 terrorists fly planes into the World Trade Center, an attack that nobody had ever seen before but was depicted in the comic a little over a month before it happened RL.
Grant Morrison’s run was after the X-Men film. This run was Marvel’s response to the film’s popularity. Especially because they weren’t making money on the films.
Yeah. It's...a little concerning, to be honest. That and some of his views on societal issues represented in comics tend to lean towards fascism as a solution. If you're aware of it, you're kind of self-inoculated, but I can easily see a younger comic fan thinking that his view on things is totally reasonable. I love his excitement for stories though, its very contagious.
I don't get how they literally didn't see 4 kaiju-sized robot monstrosities heading their way; even if they were coming in via the ocean, there would have been tremors, and tidal waves...
You would think that an island nation of 16 million+ would have its own military or militia to defend against such threats. Even if the majority of the mutant population has benign or crap powers, they should at least have access to normal weaponry.
@@ashleybanks-wm4cg - Opinions, vary. A LOT of people didn't like what it did to Magneto! I think that Magneto's story should have ended after either X-Men #3 (Chris Claremont's final issue.) or at the end of the Fatal Attractions storyline. But the Xorn twist was a classic, and Planet X did have some really good moments here and there.
Humans almost went extinct many times, usually from disease or from hunting available food to extinction. Interestingly, the carrying capacity for humans on earth is less than a million without farming.

17:33 I don’t think this is the first appearance of super negasonic teenage warhead. I think she first appeared in the story where Cassandra Nova attacked the X-Mansion and made her appear to Kitty Pride telling her that she dreamt that Kitty lost control of her powers and phased deep into the earth. I believe it was later revealed that she and the others attacking the X-Men were all just projections made my Cassandra’s powers but I think that still counts as her first appearance.
"You know that helmet in the films that Xavier uses to detect mutants? It all started with Grant Morrison" Wtf? Grant Morrison didn't invent Cerebro. Where the hell did you get that idea? Cerebro has been a thing in the comics LITERALLY since the X-Men's creation in the 1960's. Grant Morrison's run started in the early 2000s (I want to say 2003, because I was reading them as they came out back then and then I moved countries and for a few months and couldn't get them until I learned where things were in London, and that was 2004). Seriously, if you actually did research or have read the issues where this stuff is all literally on the page, you'd know this. C'mon, man, this is BASIC STUFF, and you claim to be a so-called expert... Hell, Cerebro was in the early 90's animated series, at least a decade before Morisson's run, and even then it had already been around for three decades! It's a bit suspect that these basic knowledge errors happen a lot, especially with regards to your X-Men videos. It genuinely comes across that you have literally just read these issues and make a video about them without actual knowledge of a lot of characters or concepts and their history.
Whenever the onslaught of tragic storylines gets me down, I will intentionally search out some of my favorite X-men issues. The ones when they are playing baseball or attending a wedding or drinking at a bar or having a Christmas celebration or something. I know it’s cheesy and it’s just a fictional universe but it makes me happy that these characters sometimes get that reprieve where they can just have a good day enjoying each other’s company
Except they DID catch a break! They got their own country, their own planet and everything! EDITORIAL JUST DECIDED TO RUIN THAT LAST YEAR TO MATCH UP WITH THE UPCOMING MCU SYNERGY! AND I HATE THEM SO MUCH FOR IT
Wouldn't Sentinels made the size of attack dogs make way more sense and be way deadlier? For every one 5 story Sentinel you could make hundreds of not thousands of small Sentinels multiplying the number of targets to destroy and making them harder to hit.
For as often as they "kill" the same characters over and over, I'm surprised and a little disappointed that they didn't have a dead SpiderMan somewhere in this story.
Kinda wish all comics had a page at the beginning saying whose in the comic with a picture. Sometimes I'm going pagea trying to figure out who is who. I think i only have one that have done it, but it would be great
It's been a long time, and I haven't regularly been reading Marvel Comics enough to know much about this Cassandra Nova. Does she think she's one of the *good* mutants? Or does she want to kill off every mutant in the world including herself, eventually?
I think she will try this genocide in the Deadpool 3 and TVA wants Deadpool and Wolverine to Stop her.The only difference will be this time she targets multiverse instead of mutants.

Wow Rob I LITERALLY rewatched your first E for Extinction video 🤣 the moment I clicked out I saw this.
Thank you for covering this 😺😺😺
Awesome 👍 awesome work, thank YOU, please finish this up....this is amazing!
Grant Morrisons run, while may not be a run I treasure more than some, its one run I remember more, only because its very memorable.
Rob love the content! I didn't even know anything about her character until now. Thank you.😂
This is so interesting it’s the first time I hear Rob narrating word by word.
97 is cooking
And we're back!!! Marvel is back!!!
"Maybe it happened, but 16 million?"
Finally! I've been waiting for you to do this story! It's mentioned all the time and I didn't know what it was. Finally explain the comic!
He did a video on the same story in 2016. This is just a remake.
Here after xmen 97 latest episode
Me too
Grant Morrison’s run was after the X-Men film. This run was Marvel’s response to the film’s popularity. Especially because they weren’t making money on the films.
Was literally watching the video you did on this 7 years ago last night lol
Every time there is genocide Rob be like “It’s Amaaazing”
That was my response to his opening line also.

@@ghuff31 It's a fictional story.
"Sentinels move around." I'm sure they do.
I predict that his next video will be [Person] destroys [group of people] and in the video he tells us that the ending will blow our minds.
It's almost like a drinking game at this point. Drink every time he says, "Now the [adjective] thing is." Still fun to watch, though.
Amazing! Place in the bigger picture. and of Finish with all their living. @@DaftSheep
You guys are missing an "exceedingly powerful" point that will change this game on an "astronomical level" 😂
These comments are the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth
I can’t be the only person came here after searching for Cassandra Nova after watching ep5 of X-Men 97…
This is the 2nd day Scott has said "Look into my eyes" and blasted someone. Didn't he say the same thing to Deadpool in the video yesterday?
Well lol he said look at me but yeah
Lmfao, Scott is pretty bland personality wise, maybe he doesn't have a great imagination for original one liners every time
I think it's his catch phrase now.
It is what got me back into the comics. Morrison’s New X-men was a breathtaking run at its best. The “twist” in this storyline was quite impressive.
mutants... they always get wiped out, but theres always millions more of them... and they keep having more and more power.
I don't get how four sentinels defeat 16 million mutants.
I don't get how they literally didn't see 4 kaiju-sized robot monstrosities heading their way; even if they were coming in via the ocean, there would have been tremors, and tidal waves...

It's literally explain at 14:50
No every mutant is an omega level mutant.
This is a good channel!
that episode was brutal
Definitely finish the story Rob. Thanks 👍🏽
Yeah, this was Grant Morrison and he made his debut with a BANG! This and the Planet X arc are his two classics .

11:54 - 12:12 Ehhhhhh, that's definitely not true for every avg person ..
Right, if morality was subjective to the avg person we would devolve into pure chaos.
Neat twist but current studies lean more towards homosapians almost went exstinct because of the neaderthals.
Didn’t they just release a study of how Hunter gatherers were wiped out very quickly once groups started setting.

Finished rest! And plz do a video on project wide awake
What happened with the JLA vs Monsterverse? I was feeling that
It releases like 1 issue a month or something slow like that. I’m waiting very impatiently for the next issue 😂
What happened to Fall of X did it just end?
That one Cassandra nova drawing:
👁️👄👁️
I believe Cassandra Nova is going to appear in X Men 97.
I thought that Cable, Emma Frost, Jean Gray, like... Kid Omega, and some of those top-tier telepaths are stronger than Charles Xavier?
They are. Even psylocke is higher. Charles is only alpha level and telepath is the most common omega level.
Came here after watching episode 5 of X-Men 97.
11:30 is it just me or does it look like bald lady is helping hank hill look for his glasses? lol
Cassandra both freaks me out but also grabs my attention so much.

Ahhh...Cassandra Nova. Religated to a pre 'Fall of X' time travel story. Oh, how the 'mighty' had fallen.

Jesus this was horrific
have you ever done the full thing of marvel zombies?
I’m interested to find out how the XMen bounce back.

Now yeah, this story is “AMAZING”!
Don't forget about time travel.
