I prefer his original origin tbh but the added thing about Alec Holland not being swamp thing and swamp thing coping Alec Holland is very clever and an amazing add on.

That was Alan Moore’s idea for Swamp Thing and honestly he’s the best writer that Swamp Thing has ever had. Way better than the creator of the character.

True
In the American Gothic storyline (under Alan Moore) Swamp Thing was the only being that could reason with The Great Evil Beast, an entity literally supposed to rival the power of the Presence. Doing this, he prevented the destruction of heaven and hell and probably everything else too.
Such amazing powers, Greenpeace would love to hire him for sure.

Necessary reading in that seminal series is the one where Dr. Arcane is creating deformed creatures including using the body of a young womans father that Swamp Thing befriends. A Frankenstein looking creature with most of the story told from his POV. Fantastic!

I'm watching Swamp Thing right now in 2020, it's a TV series and it just came on! Blessings and hugs!
i just finished the first ep for Swamp Thing. thank you so much for this great video you got yourself another subscriber :D
"Get rid of all plant life to kill him" Batman Who Laughs: "Write that down"
Before Swamp Thing was in his own comic, I remember seeing his story in either Creepy or Eerie magazine. In the end, a murdered little girl was thrown in the swamp and became his daughter, and they lived happily ever after. No joke this was around 1970.
Minute 4:20 and Arris saying "Defenders of the green"... Well played!

Just announced: DC swamp thing horror film in the works.
He was sooooo right...red skull was in infinity war lol
It's worth noting that Jason Woodrue dissected Swamp Thing to discover that there was nothing left of his human form. This was also written by Alan Moore and penciled by John Totelben, inked by Steve Bissette, if memory serves. Woodrue was the Floronic Man, a pre-exisisting character with plant based powers, much like Poison Ivy. Alan Moore, eh? That eccentric knucklehead.:) Also, the art is so intricate because Totelben was going blind, and had to work closer and closer to the page. It's extraordinary. It's worth owning, even in reprints.:)
I LOVE your videosThank you for posting!
Hey Arris. Wasn't there a time in the late 80's where Swamp thing was the earth elemental, red tornado was the air elemental and Firestorm was the fire elemental? Someone also might have been the water elemental but I can't remember.
In the summer time, I guess we could all say we have a Swamp Thang 😏😂

Aayla Secura same I knew nothing abt him and seeing Alec become swamp thing was crazy. I thought fosho he was gonna die.
The new DC TV series pilot is mind-blowing in set design, CGI and the horror elements. The morgue scene was definitely a homage to that classic segment in John Carpenter's The Thing (you'll know when you see it). Though we don't see much of Swampies form, what we are shown is a perfectly realistic take on the comic character that doesn't look at all like that rubber one in the 80s film. This is going to be a fantastic series and just as awesome as "Cloak & Dagger", "The Doom Patrol" and "Titans".
Would be interesting to see a cross over story where poison ivy meets swamp thing

DC blows my mind in how complicated they make character development.
Swamp Thing is a combination of the Heap and The Incredible Hulk. It's a shame that both Swamp Thing and Man-Thing, have played second fiddle to the Hulk. It's time to give them the spotlight alongside Hulk.
3:32 You left out the part where the explosion was caused by terrorists were after the bar restorative formula that Alec and Linda were working on together.

Alan Moore's Swamp Thing was DEEP! ST grew from thinking he was Alan. Then he learned he wasn't & had to deal with that mind bender. Then he learned how powerful he was as an elemental. Then, he fought Batman over several comics & brought Gotham city to its knees for areesting Abby for loving a non-human. Then Gotham hired Lex Luthor to kill him, which just made him "jump" to another planet while his body burned. Then, he saved a planet from dying & even time traveled a bit on his search to make it back to Earth. Oh, and he saved Superman when he got sick & went mad from a spore from a Kryptonian meteorite. It involved a kind of mind meld with Superman via the spore in Supe's body & it was trippy. Of course there was fighting.

Swamp Thing is badass. Alan Moore is a genius storyteller for sure. Obviously he didn’t create the character, but he evolved the character. Gave him more depth, not being so one dimensional so to speak. Also, I’ve read and watched about many fans that complain that everything is being made to be darker and more mature, taking away from the lighthearted versions of the early years of comics. Um, yea, I’m an adult that loves comics. I want dark, complex, violent stories and characters. I do get that not all comic book fans are adults, but that’s what kid’s cartoons are for. You gotta have a balance of both. You can’t just have content for kids only or for adults only. We already have that but there’s people actually complaining that there’s stuff being made for adults in general like all they want is the lighthearted kids stuff. To each their own I guess 🤷🏻♂️ I’ll take my mature content thank you 😂
