Who is Image Comics' Thaedus? Viltrum's "Great Betrayer"
Vložit
- čas přidán 18. 06. 2021
- This video explores the abilities, powers, and origin of the Image Comics character "Thaedus." From being the first Viltrumite to turn away from their species' conquering ways, using his scientific genius to develop both strains of The Scourge Virus, dispatching of the Viltrumite Emperor Argall, taking his qualms with the Viltrum Empire to the point of founding the Coalition of Planets with the Unopians and Geldarians among others to resist the expansion of the Viltrumites' Empire, helping develop the Unopan breeding program to create an alien Super-Soldier that resulted in the powerful Allen the Alien, leading the Coalition's High Council in it's strategies for victory, sparking the Viltrumite War by ordering the incursion at the Dridell Outpost, personally leading forces to the orbit of the Viltrum planet, using his genius and strategic mind to enact an impromptu surge that destroyed the Viltrumite homeworld, to his valiant last stand-off against the strongest Viltrumite ever named Grand Regent Thragg; Let's take a look at this wise Image Comics superhero, and one of the smartest and most strategic Viltrumites in the Invincible Comics Universe. This includes a short, canon character biography and my own opinionated "Sage Rating," which I use to give ratings of comic book and science fiction characters.

Dude looks like a Greek philosopher lowkey
Highkey... Even his name
its not cannon but due to how long they live he literally could of been plato or some other philosopher.
High High Key
@@BG-it7hb nag it’s more Jesus disciple, St. Jude Thaddeus.
No, he looks like Atlas.
This guy has so much courage. Betraying the most powerful race in the universe and killing the ruler by yourself and having to live in hiding to strengthen efforts to stop them entirely
I mean, look on his mouthstache. It is well known that the bigger the mouthstache, the stronger is viltrumite.
Yep
@@user-xw5xo3bv1n Kregg?
He was a coward who caused the dawnfall of viltrum if he didn't killed argal the viltrumites would have never been so wrong
I agree with you. Thaedus was very brave to turn on his own people and help save a lot of innocent lives. I understand where the 8 rating came from but this guy deserves a 10 rating
8 is a SHADY rating.
His hand was LITERALLY the hand that affected EVERY single Viltrumite, every conquered planet, EVERYTHING.
He's galatically iconic.
10!
That's what I am saying
No he's not this may be important in the overall viltrum mythos but not image comics to much
Definitely a bad ass character. When he revealed his identity and pulled his beard I was laughing
...and as it turns out, he will be voiced by Peter Cullen himself in the show.
Who would have thought he would sound like Optimus Prime?
Very fitting that such s heroic voice belongs on such a Paragon of the story.
Oh man, the f? Just done watching the 3rd ep of S2 I noticed immediately and thought he sounded like Optimus Prime. Very iconic.
HOW IS THIS NOT A 10 he clearly STARTED the entire invincible comics
8?
This guy should be a 10.
He created a council to thwart the Viltrumites, elevating how many alien civilizations?
He created a virus that decimated the Viltrumites
He orchestrated the plan that destroyed the Viltrumite homeworld
He crippled the Viltrumite empire.
That's a 10 my friend.
In terms of influence a 10.
And since he is a viltrumite thats another 10 in power
Definitely a 10 tbh
After thinking about it (and finishing recording 😅) I wanted to give him a 9, for some of those very reasons. 🤔 Including the fact that he's a BEAST of a leader and warrior! 💪🏽😎 Small difference in rating. But it WOULD just feel right. 👍🏼
@@NewSage I wouldn't call him a beast of a warrior. He killed Argall from behind, not exactly what I called a great warrior's action. EoS Invincible could probably decimate him, but still definitely a 10.
I agree on all points. 👍🏾
I don't know about this one. This guy killed a Virtrimite ruler, created the coalition of planets, created the scurge virus, created Allen the alien, and took out the Virtrimite homeworld. I think he should be better than a 8.
he legit stabbed him in the head plus no one said that argall was stronger than a regular viltrumite they followed him for his knowledge not his power
@@sinceredtb3227 well thank god influence is part of the rating
@@sinceredtb3227 I'm pretty sure that's not what the guy meant. He meant that killing such an important character should score him a higher rating. This channel is great but I think this guy is a 10 or at least a 9
After finishing up the vid, I thought about it some more and figured that he could've gotten a 9. 😁 But this isn't an exact science, so I let it ride... Especially since it was 2am! 😅👍🏼
@@NewSage don't worry Sage glad you decided to give yourself a break and leave it as is, gotta take care of yourself man 😊
So having a mustache is just a common trait with all Viltrumite males? I don’t have a problem with it, it’s just a funny quirk to give to an alien race. A typical planet of hats.
It's a culteral thing x)
Fun fact....the part of your lip where mustache sits on is called the PHILTRUM......I'm 99% sure the writers knew this when they came up with the name for them
@@danielberra6747
Very true
According to the pseudoscience of physiognomy the more visible the Philtrum the more healthy and robust the person is but the moustache pays homage to an Austrian painter WW1 soldier who was one of the central figures of WW2
Fact: Thaedus is going to appear in the second season of the Invincible TV series. He is voiced by legendary voice actor Peter Cullen (the voice of Optimus Prime in much of the Transformers franchise).
So happy that Thadeus is now voiced by the great Peter Cullen.
Dude fights for all sapient beings, like a certain Cybertronian Autobot Leader before him.
One shall stand. One shall fall
I know people have already said this, but Peter Cullen is a great choice to voice this character. Looking forward to seeing him in Season 2.
I’m loving the consistent content! Always taking some boredom out of my day.
I concur
@@shuroddaniels8052 🤝
Indeed fellow Sagian
@@jakehero95 that’s catchy 👌🏾
Truth
So lemme get this straight
First traitor of viltrum
Slayer of Argol
Engineer of the scorge virus
And Destroyer of viltrum
Dude had a vision and he went for it
I think he deserved a rating of 10.
I've read the whole comic twice and just realized his name isn't "Thadeus"
Same. I was about to post a correction, but then I looked it up and was like "damn wtf??"
What is his real name?
@@gl8592 Thaedus, just like the video says. If he had another name before, I don't think it comes up, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong.
Thaedus*
Odin isnt the same as Dino
He's gonna be peak since he's voiced by Optimus Prime himself.
Peter Cullen is voicing as Thaedus
Would having a fake beard make a difference? I laughed so hard at that scene the first time I read that Twist. I can't wait to see this animated. :P
Oh, that wasn't a fake beard. The Tullock pull means you gotta rip your real beard right off your own face.
Yeah, him having a real beard would've still made sense, given how Nolan grew himself a beard during the slaughter of the Flaxans
Thaddus: **rips beard off** Told you I'm a Viltrumite.
Thragg: Hold my beer.
I take it that he’s like the first Viltrumite who didn’t have spiders in his soul
i love how he shows his mustache to show who he really is
Informative, to the point, Short, sweet and accurate. Keep up the solid work friend
Thanks! You got it bro! 😎👊🏽
Bro I love this channel man.
This guy annunciates like a professional teacher, yet his tone is relaxed and chill. He’s that super smart friend you got that you kind of enjoy listening to the rants of cos you walk away going “huh. Didn’t know that before.”
I'm so glad I found your channel, keep up the great work dude!
Peter Cullen let's goooo
This channel never fails to make me more of a geek. And I love it
THADEUS WILL BE VOICED BY PETER CULLEN OUR OPTIMUS PRIME
Thanks for all the great content so far💙💙👍
Wish I can discover your videos for the first time and binge everything ❤️
Love the direction the show is going so i can learn about the comics on the side without fully knowing what happens next
Love the vids man keep making these!!
Thanks! You got it, bro! 😎👍🏼
I've always known about Invincible but never got into it. I'll tell you though Sage,since you been dropping these vids I've been on the hunt for all back issues 😎
You did it! Thanks a ton for accepting my request
No problem! I appreciate you, and have a good one! 😎👍
thaedus plan is to have Thragg realize that he has no hope of wining and let him take earth hostage. by having the vultrimites holding earth hostage and hiding by living as humans it which would inevitably make the vultrimite more human, Thragg fell for that trap.
0:46 didn't know that beard could complement a fighting stance lol reminds me of Dexter's lab episode beard to be feared.
The only Viltrumite to turn against Viltrum on Viltrum.
Did you know this guy will be voiced by optimus prime!😀
I really like your invincible videos and i hope you come out with more video on this Great comic series.
I will! 😎👍🏼
I love this character so much he should get an instant 10 he is a badass in every way he orchestrated a resistance against his own people to stop the evil that his people were spreading throughout the Galaxy and together with Nolan and Mark destroyed his Homeworld just to stop thragg; he should have been the second strongest character next to him, he should have been the one to rip out his heart at the exact same time he got his head ripped off wonderful character can't wait to see him in the Animated Series!
Na I enjoyed seeing his head get ripped off. Having him kill Thragg would defeat the purpose of having Thragg be the strongest ever.
@@marcusmulethaler5367 respectfully it wouldn't for it would show that even though he was the strongest thaedus's will and drive to win was more powerful remember he had genius-level intellect the writers should have played on that and showed that between the brains and brawns the brains always win out, and if it had been written where they met up with Luther Strode and train with the Herculean method it would have went entirely different with thragg!
@@vmaninc.761 no. That sounds like stupid plot shit. The whole reason I like this comic/show is cause they don’t use plot as much. Showing his “drive to win” by ripping Thraggs heart out would of been just another plot device. A stupid one at that.
@@marcusmulethaler5367 most def showed plot every episode…mark got his ass kicked and nearly died every episode but every time they never killed him that’s plot…and if the older you got the stronger you then no way n hell mark should have ever been able to beat thragg..but plot armour…he wasn’t full blooded and beat him…and that shouldn’t have happened
Nice video man.
Great vids as always 👌
Thanks for this one!
4:37 man that damn scene got me so hyped to see it in animation
Of course, they got peter cullen to voice this guy. . .
Man I'm really loving this invisible now that I know about it
1. I like how you don't overclock your videos.
2. What are your thoughts on Petra from Luther Strode?
I love your content new sage!
A Virtumite that grew a conscience. More like the great savior.
It's wierd that the viltrumites say they followed the old leader before thragg because of his wisdom but if that was so why did Thaddeus kill him when they were already becoming bad
Because they dont know about thaddeus he was wiped out of there history books
Wise doesn't necessarily mean good-aligned.
@@knightgabriel1311 true
Wait, he made his own weakness? I mean I understand but bruh
Hey Sage, I was wondering if you also factor a characters appearance and overall thuggery along with "powers, abilities and influence on their universe" into your 1-10 rating? And what are some of your favorite character designs?
I think the most interesting fact about him is that apparently I’ve been misreading his name as Thaddeus this entire time lol
What do you think is the best thing about Thaedus in the comics? Which one of his powers and abilities do you think is the best?
A being who chose to Rebel against his people and fight for the good of the Universe by uniting all sentient beings against them? Yep, that sounds like a job for Optimus Prime all right
If you don't get it, Peter Cullen is playing him in season
Not to mention he’s up against a Tyrant who is a former fighter of his species who had a DISDAIN on their former rulers and their ideology is purely for the betterment of their species.
My bro I one told you youvwrre doing s very good job with you're videos a couple of years ago I believe , now you're doing a superb job this series of invincible is fuking fire and im happy you're following it also I haven't read the comics I wanna make time for it but already saw the season 1 of the series and again it's fire, thank you for youre hard work that most likely you love with a passion I'd wish you would make more videos and best of luck in youre ventures .
Yeah! The series is 🔥! I appreciate you, and have a good one, bro! 😎👊🏽
Thank you for your correct pronunciation of his name.
This guy is like the Yamoshi of the Viltrumites. Except more successful.
Thaedus so powerful and clever
Love the content! Can you do Rexplode next?
Thanks again! And yeah. He's on the to-do list. 🤓👍🏼
@@NewSage YH!
Yay! I asked for this dude.
Haven't checked out your library yet but can you do one on Squirrel Girl? But on Thadeus even if you're plp are evil kinslayer is unforgivable
Is this space hippie going to be in season 2? Can't wait!
This is the dude that, _by his own will,_ defied the conquering ways of his people, took out the brutal king of Viltrum, formed a coalition to fight against his own people, and held true to his beliefs for _millennia,_ to go against the Viltrum empire.
Nolan was deeply conflicted and had to be shown by his son, another species, and circumstances that his conquering ways were wrong. Mark was born on Earth, hadn’t developed his powers until late, and had empathized with humanity.
Thaddeus was alone in his march, but he _kept marching._
Thaddeus is truly a 10/10 if you ask me.
Awesome
Choose which race you would like to be, between a saiyan, viltrumite, or a kryptonian
Daxamites in the 31st century. they're technologically superior to all 3, they've developped a solution to their "kryptonian" equivalent weakness and their population can't be counted on 2 hands.
Or whatever race metroman is from (from megamind), since he has no known weaknesses and is notably faster than all 3 races at their peak potential.
@@mikejohnstonbob935 cool
@@mikejohnstonbob935 metroman is weak to lead
Saiyan Kryptonian hybrid.
@@walterdayrit675 Dont forget Vultrumite. You need that faster regen. Combine it with zenkai boost and sun bathing. You would kick superman's ass.
Nice
Dude, you could link the intro song in the description. It's cool and only has like 1k views.
Thank you sage he was a cool character
Can you do Marvel's Synch(Everett Thomas)? I heard that he can copy powers from other mutants and superhuman beings like Spider-Man
Do one about the Ragnar's please I need to know how they can wreck viltrumites
Great character!
How you been doing mate?
Can you do comic book origin of DC Fatal Five?
Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's the Leader?
Another cool character from the invincible universe.
Hell yeah was wondering who this guy was
Fun fact same VA of Optimus prime.
In the show, they made it seem like he is the double agent for the viltrumites. They've already changed a bunch in the show, so I'm wondering if they'll keep that change
Thaedus deserves a 9 at least he was the 1st pure viltramite to go against his empire and did what was right for the entire universe I am still very upset when he go his head removed by Tragg
I love tech jacket
can Viltrimites regen like Abraham Linkler does O?
Letsss goooo New Sage got the data in
My name is Optimus Prime....
I think he deserves a higher rating Fam .
I think it's fun trying to guess the rating at the end.
Same
Can you do Walking dead’s Rick Grimes, Negan, or Mercer
Really can't wait to see him show up on the show and see who voices him, I think Michael Cudlitz should voice him.
peter Cullens is way better
Thaedus was a badass character but speaking about power he wasnt so much powerful, he probably was a little above regular Viltrumites but far away from Mark, Nolan and Allen's league. You can note that when Thaedus order to fly faster to destroy the planet and Mark and Nolan are very calm. Also, both Allen, Mark and Nolan were able to exchange blows with Thragg while Thaedus died easily with 1 blow.
Thaedus wasn't weaker than Nolan & Mark though, it's just that the whole time Thragg wasn't taking them serious until they blew up the planet and then he got pissed and stopped holding back. He could've easily ripped off the head on any of them, but he went straight for Thaedus because he's the one who killed their ruler.
Jk Simmons needs to play Thaedus in the live action Invincible
Uh oh did they cut that check??we back y'all image comics by the man of sage how else would i start my morning my 🌿🌿lol then the sage image if u didn't please 💲💲💲👜👜👜he's earned it guys thanks my dude for the content be safe
😅👍🏼 They haven't cut it yet! But I'll wait for it! I appreciate you, as usual, my dude. Have a chill weekend, too! 😎👊🏽🐅
Yes my quest is complete
If Thaedus never betrayed the Viltrumites, they would have conquered the whole universe by now.
Thaedus is literally just the viltrumite cecil
Basically
We need the backstory of Argall now or a spinoff. Like who are his other surviving heirs besides Nolan?
Probably dead. If not, they are just random viltrumite under Thragg
Mark, Terra, and Marky I guess?
Thanks
🏆 4th to the party today! I appreciate you, my dude! 😎👍🏼
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do Simon dark 💯💯
That was a good character origin but I think I got a good one for you I think you like it the villain's name is called shumo-gorath!!
An 8? Cone one, man. He technically single-handedly organized the fall of the Viltrumites. At least a 9, maybe.
Edit: Yea, no. After reading other comments, I realized I wasn’t trippin. He deserves a 10.
