Unpopuler opinion: I think that costume looks pretty good

Not as unpopular as you might think. When I posted this on FB, tons of people commented about their love of the Bag Man, and a number of them were a little salty about my apparent slamming of the costume. However, I'm as big a BM backer as anyone - I bought this off the rack as a kid, and it was one of my favorite comedy moments of the era, one I never forgot and which led me to making an almost 20 minute documentary on it all these years later! Maybe I shouldn't have called it 'lame' in the thumbnail, but I was implying it from Peter's perspective of being humiliated by the Torch. That's why I wanted to cover every little element of his history & merchandising. Hope you liked it

@@DarthOlyx - hey man, I really appreciate that. Hearing comments like that really does help. I gotta be honest, I thought this vid's Spider-Man connection and quirky/fun trivia would be a bit of a hit, but it's been down to like 2 views a day. I know part of that is because I'm small, and I've had similar videos that start gaining traction as they get into the thousands of views, but it's tough when you but like 30 hours+ into a vid to see it eeking along like a wounded animal. So at this time in my YT journey, comments like yours help cushion the blow of low performance, as at least I know that the content is good, that you/people respond to it. So thanks again, and I ain't to proud to ask, if you can, share it with your comic friends on social media. Thanks again, Olyx - and hit that notifications bell because I have some crazy stuff coming soon!

Right on! I gotta get one myself! I was pretty floored that it came out after my video; it's a 6" right? That's what I said fans wanted in the video! I've gotten a bunch of new viewers that found the video because of the new action figure, so that's pretty cool. Glad you got your figure finally!

Isn't that crazy?? I can't believe what's happened since I started planning this ep a couple yrs ago; adding the figures was a late addition to the script - I like trying to be comprehensive. But I never imagined the Bag Man (and the video) would get a boost by a new Legends figure and then by appearing in Across the Spider-Verse! It's the year of Bag Man!

He’s actually gonna be in the new Spider-Man movie, also Nogla did him so it should be called, Across the Vanosserve.

In the Marvel Super heroes players book (TableTop RPG), Bag-man was featured on the character's creation section. That's when I learned spider-man somehow joined or was affiliated with the fantastic 4 when I was very young lol. (around 1989). The character was still heavily featured, for me (a child) to learn about it back then.

Hey, I was hoping I'd get some viewers that knew the costume from the game's bonus skins! You have to realize - I'd been working on this script at least back to last year. Originally, it was just a video on an obscure bit of Spidey history I remember (and loved) from when I was a kid. I hoped 80s Spidey content would be enough to get it some attention - I never expected Bag Man to come back into the limelight. Then the game came out - well, I was working on some other videos at the time and so missed out on timing the video with that - but I figured that many players would be like "where did that costume come from?"; then to my shock, after I finally get the video out, a new action figure is announced and he's coming to the Across the Spider-Verse movie! Crazy stuff. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed learning about all the backstory. Thanks so much for watching and sharing your thoughts

Apparently so; if you go to my channel's "community" page, I posted a still from the Into the Spider-Verse teaser promo that was the Bag Man, in Spiderverse animation style. I'm really thrilled, I thought the video turned out great, but it got a slow start, so I'm hoping it may get a larger audience from that.

I thought my love for the character would be obvious, maybe I shouldn't have said 'lamest'?
