This befuddles the absolute shit out of me because Galactus is one of the most powerful beings in the multiverse (depending on the iteration/ issue/ author and on how satiated he is). Furthermore, Galactus literally cannot die, sure, Thor killed him, but he was revived. Galactus cannot die. He is "fated" to see the end of the universe and be reborn in the next. During his fight with Odin, he was able to fight telepathically and telekinetically: he could find Earth using his mind even if he was on the other side of the universe. HE CAN FLY SEVERAL TIMES FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF LIGHT. There is no way that he wouldn't have been able to find Earth and consume it before he died.

I don't really think he hates superheroes that much. There are writers who have done worse things to superheroes just because they had the chance to write them. Garth Ennis is the classic example, but his time on the Punisher and Nick Fury caused a lot of controversy with Marvel, to the point where George Clooney had to say no to a Nick Fury movie because of the horrible things Fury did in the comic.

Weird how things like mutations, Galactus, Silver surfer, etc. are adapted pretty faithfully but simply had sad endings while characters like Thor and Ghostrider are these weird real world edge lord adaptations. There's some interesting ideas here but the inconsistency is kind of distracting and makes me wonder what the point of it all is. The art is nice though. Also, no mention of how Phil Sheldon is the protagonist of Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross's Marvels series? It's a really great read

It is a mirror image of the 616 universe. If everything is fine there, the heroes win, and mutations give amazing super-abilities, then everything is bad here, mutations bring only suffering and painful death. There was even a phrase, for every light there is darkness. The meaning of the comic is to show this mirror world and it is so terrible precisely because of the way the original universe is. Interestingly, being a reflection, this universe is the most realistic.

Here you have is a man of the law who had lost his family from the mob and now he devotes his life on a violent path of vengeance, vowing to destroy all those who "wronged" him. Even when he eventually eliminates his enemies his continues on his futile quest for "justice" and due his past and his current actions he can never even attempt return to a normal life. By abandoning his principles and disregarding due process and innocence till proven guilty, he becomes the very thing he is trying to get rid of. A broken man like Frank Castle is more of less destined to die like that.

Even Dark Knights Metal wasn't this edgy lol, and even the Kingdom Come and that one batman comic (Arkham Asylum ) make sense with regard to the characters and their motivations, this just feels like Marvel's attempt at DKM but they only had the budget for one comic Curious about the fate of Dr Strange in this universe, though it's probably going to be him performing horrific experiments on his patients to achieve his "third eye" ala Hellraiser or red skull

Either "tryhard" or "exploitative"

So, in this universe: Captain America: Eats human flesh. Iron man: Became a Serial Killer. Wolverine: Gets a bone disease and is destined to die. Punisher: Gets killed. Silver Surfer: Exploded. Galatcus: Died of hunger. Cree Warriors: Living in the worst conditions. Black Panther: Sent to jail. Hawkeye: Executed in public. Nick Fury: Gave up in everything. Dark Pheonix: Becomes a hooker. Bruce Banner: Becomes a tumor monster, destined to suffer. Darkholme: Kills herself. Magneto: Becomes a hippie. Professor X: Tortures mutants. Cyclops: Got his eyes burned, getting tortured. Nightcrawler: Getting tortured, most likely dying of hunger. Quicksilver: Got all his limbs cut off, being tortured. Thor: is just a crazy doctor. Jhonny Blaze: Died by putting his head on fire, screaming as he used the motorcycle. Reeds: Died of cosmic radiaton, wich made him stretch to death. Jhonny Storm: Got burned to a molecular level. Suzan Storm: Died of cosmic radiaton. Peter Parker: Got a disease from the spider, that will eventually kill everyone that touches him. I thought that Zombies and Ultimate were alr dark asf, but this universe is something else. Everything is destined to fail.

Emma frost : still Emma frost

The art style is absolutely incredible, the begginning of the comic being cleaner as we've not been introduced to the terrors of this world, but as the story progresses and the more and more we learn, the more grotesque the art style becomes.

This is a very Souls-like story. Everything is as bad as possible. The whole world is dying. It’s all slowly collapsing into decay. It’s all gradually succumbing to madness. And there’s nothing anyone can do to stop it.

I like how the one time Ben Grimm (The Thing) finally doesn't suffer an awful fate, it's in a world of pure chaos for everyone else. The single instance you could say he caught a break, it HAD to be in a world where everyone else suffered. Love the poetic shift there.

Honestly, if Galactus is really dead the universe is fucked. There's no reincarnation, no chance to fix their mistakes, once the universe explodes, that's it. Everything's over. In fact, since Galactus is the only thing that separates Eternity and Death, the ruins universe is probably already dying. Which explains Philip Sheldon's feelings of impending death and destruction.

My theory is that Donald Blake was actually Thor, but nobody believed him and he ended up as a wretch as a result...

Just like our universe, we kill all our heroes.

I read this comic for the first time today. I’ve read my dad’s trade copy of Marvels many times throughout my life, so upon learning that there was a What If story for it, I had to read it. I expected something dark, but I didn’t expect this. This makes Marvel Zombies look like Adam West era Batman. It was just flat out depressing, seeing all the heroes I grew up with reimagined as withered, rotting, hollow shells of beings. And the returning art style of the original story made the body horror elements all the more horrifying. While I found this to be an interesting read and recommend it to anyone who’s a fan of Marvel, Marvels, horror, and alternate universe story’s I felt emotionally drained after reading it. I may re-read Marvels again as a palate cleanser.

Awesome video. I’d love some more longer videos like this. You always cover great stories. I especially like the depressing/dark ones. Keep sticking with what you think is good. You got good taste 🤙🏻

I believe that the doctor is actually Thor whom was stripped of his powers and forced to live a life as a feeble civilian with a has been past and had gone crazy not being able to pursue his destiny.

"Now Washington D.C. is known for drugs, crime, and havoc" my man it's always been that way, D.C. has always been the city where the poor get poorer and the rich make a penny off it. Its rough as hell.

"hey you know this character what if their power: but it killed them and they were a bad person."

It's a world with no plot armor. If I had read this as a child, probably even as a teen, chances are I would have been scarred by it. This is such a twisted story but it's the art especially that drives it home. Looks like Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark.

Geez. Tbh this is a pretty tasteless story. They basically took every hero and said "How can we violently kill everyone for no reason?"

I find it interesting that this is the world where Ben Grimm avoids his fate of becoming the Thing. Imagine the psychological toll seeing yourself in that form everyday and being called by the codename "The Thing." Truthfully, every other universe is the one where Ben suffers. In this one, he laments how all his friends perished.

That’s actually the hardest ending of all time. This universe was so messed up that the story wasn’t even told in the first place 😂

But here, without any superheroes and supervillains, the world lives as it used to live, even Galactus himself died a step away from salvation. This world doesn't need heroes, it's fine as it is.

There was one thing that always kinda bugged me. Why would Peter need to take a job at the Bugle in a world where Ben was still alive? In most continuities, the only reason that job even stuck out to him was that they wanted pictures of Spider-Man. Also I wish Ellis had taken the time to hint at what was going on with Xavier. Like, I've read enough X-Men to take a guess and feel pretty confident in it, but still.

Peters uncle still probably died due to the robber. The fact is the only reason Peter sees that the robber got away was because he was there and didn’t stop him. But reality wise if Peter didn’t get powers and wasn’t there the robber still would’ve got away and made it to the Parkers and shot Ben. Probably this time in front of Peter.

This just feels really weird, some heroes are given super powers normally while others are just straight up diseased. What’s with the inconsistency, they want to use the common backstories, but then don’t go all the way and instead make up some overly gruesome scenario which occurs instead. It’s just so unnecessarily edgy and doesn’t really care about who the characters are, they just wanted to make a cliche ‘superheroes aren’t really heroes’ story where everyone dies because ‘death is cool’.

The comic is absolutely crushing just seeing your favorite superheros mistreated and in constant pain and agony everything that was supposed to go wrong just went wrong The most soul crushing scenes were that of Peter. A very friendly and helpful student in one panel brightly smiling and in the other he's just a skinless cancer. That look of despair on his face and how he's holding that blanket will just stick with me for a while it's kind of traumatic to see

Let's face it, if mutants actually existed in our world, _this_ is what reality would be.
