    Hey, heroes! Thanks for watching another video! I went back and fourth on how I wanted to structure this but I think it turned out pretty well. I hope y'all like it!

      This was awesome! Many thanks. It answered a lot of questions for me. Back in my teen years I read the original four part miniseries on Rocket and Halfwirld and loved it. I stopped following comics but was always sad that they hadn't continued the story, it was really creative and fun, bot your usual superhero stuff. Thanks for filling in the blanks!

    I think my favorite sentence in this wonderfully impressive video is --
    "Joined by the Hulk, Rocket and Wall Russ took their ship, the Rack and Ruin, and headed to the Space Wheel, fighting their way through the killer clowns."

    The Queen of a far off alein planet's daughter, the Princess Ilse Pterigil, has been in a coma ever since she was struck in the eyes by a laser beam. the Princess was the Star-Thief, who has been subconsciously making the stars disappear because their light reminded her of the laser that blinded her and made her afraid during this time her mind reached out across time and space connecting to certain individuals (likely those with inhuman genes that gave them telepathy but also with weak minds, and also possibly wanted the stars to go away too) like Ditmal Privat, or Barry Bauman who were both given a portion of the star-theifs powers to steal the stars and make the stars go away

      I agree as interesting as this backstory is for Rocket. The classic ableism is a bit much. I get that it was the 80s but it just would been eaier to have be a group of average humanoid colonist, there robots, and the animals they brought with them. The world itself being unfamiliar territory could and in some way evole the animals to hyperintelligence along with the robot. Still making the half world.
