Why blame Marvel? Todd left the comic, plus keeping an ip alive is hard work let alone mainting it popular enough to be mainstream and the comic is doing fine. Plus honestly much of its fame came from the collectors bubble (where people would only buy comics thinking the comic would cost a lot like old Spiderman and Superman issues, spoiler: they didn't)

The comic peaked after the first 5 or so years, the toon got cancelled mid-story and the film sucked. Soul Calibur 2 was his last hurrah but i would like so see a hard-R movie reboot and a fixed and restarted book for him. It sucks now and barely sells.

Honestly man, Kristian's editing puts just about everyone on YouTutube to shame. These videos must take so much work!

"The Rise of Image Comics" could really make a compelling dramatic film in the current cinema landscape imo. Cast Christian Bale as Todd McFarlane, Matt Damon as Rob Liefeld, and Daniel Dae Kim as Jim Lee. De-age them a bit using the same techniques from Civil War and Ant-Man and I think it could work. Or if casting younger, I'd go with Aaron Paul, Jesse Plemons, and Steven Yeun as McFarlane, Liefeld, and Lee respectively.

Very interesting. You don't normally hear someone say something POSITIVE about 90's comics.

While the launch of Image was absolutely a major milestone in creator's rights and independence, don't you think it's a little odd to hold McFarlane up as the gold standard of creator's rights given his terrible treatment of Neil Gaiman? McFarlane claimed that he would share the rights to the characters the two of them created together in issue 9 (Angela, Cogliostro, and Medieval Spawn) and then backed out of the agreement, claiming it was meant to be work for hire and he exclusively owned the rights to the characters. The guy hardly walked the walk when it came to creator's rights once those creations were worth a substantial amount of money.

Each of your videos displays your deep love and care for the subject you decide to cover and it can be nothing short of inspirational.

From the bottom of my heart I wish you the best in your endeavors on youtube and beyond. A loyal fan- Sean

These last two uploads were closer together than usual. I'm so happy! I've fell in love with this channel since the first video. Since 15,000 subscribers. Can't explain how great these videos are. It's almost unbelievable how truly great they are. Feel like these should be on tv with a huge budget and production team.

I watched series just so I could watch some of your videos. Amazing work and good luck to you on future videos/projects.

Your videos are amazing. I understand this is an older video but it is so well crafted. I could watch these videos over and over. They are so well crafted. You deserve more subscribers than you have.

When I get a notification that you put up a new video the quality of my day completely improves

Every time you create a video it's a must watch. Even with limited content you are my favorite channel

Way to knock it out of the park again. My music library has been growing as well due to the amazing music you use.

Another BANGER video from the Kaptain. Good work man. Incredibly top notch. You need your own feature length documentary subject. Would love to see you cover something you're truly passionate about. I love your enthusiasm, direction, transitions, and editing. Keep it up!

I'm blown away every time you upload. I never click anything so fast in my sub box

every time you make a video, I get so inspired by the people are things you talk about

I grew up with Adult Swim and Gorrillaz and plenty of the things you've made videos on, and I didn't even realize just how much they had made an impact on my life until I watched those videos. You were able to put it into words, and they always click with me. Great stuff man, I can't wait to see where you can go as a creator.

Literally never change the style of these videos. They are actually such quality because how you talk and word things and present them in almost unbiased ways (I'm sure you do most of these videos because you enjoy them). The way you present these things is just amazing and I can't wait to see more content.

You are by far my favorite you-tuber, i re watch your videos constantly. Thank you for making such amazing content, and introducing me to things I never would of listened to (Gorillaz, Childish Gambino) or seen (x-men animated series, being reminded of Batman The Animated Series beauty) or seen a lot of the stuff on your channel.

Easily one of my favorite videos on KZread. Amazing!

you speak to my soul, i feel like every video you put out is a video about something im genuinely passionate about

You need to do a feature length documentary on art and creative culture, my friend. You're incredibly insightful, great work man.

I liked the little inspirational message at the end. Thanks for that.

I really love the recent influx of channels like these. These videos are high quality and start interesting discussions and present several valid points. Keep up the good work. I love your videos.

Please never stop making videos. You're my favorite channel.

Honestly your videos are truly inspiring, do us all a favour and never stop ☺

I feel obligated to comment on every video just to tell you that this is one of the best channels on youtube. Keep it up, Kaptain!

Another excellent choice in subject; even though I rarely go into one of your videos with similar appreciations to you, you always somehow manage to articulate on behalf of creators whose vision and passion succeeded over everything external to their art. Your videos perfectly embody creative integrity. Good on ya :)

I just want to say I love your channel. It's great how you try to inspire people and encourage others to do great things.

Your Videos are so freaking good. I just increased my Patreon pledge again. Keep up the amazing work.

you're the best youtuber out there right now And somehow you keep getting better

"Take a chance, and go make some stuff." Thanks for this. Ive always loved to read and I'm just starting out with my first writing. My dream is to make of living by writing.

No other KZread channel can consistently deliver this high quality of content. Each video is so well made and informative.

Hey Christian. I'm starting to be a huge fan of your videos. I'm a huge fan of some of the subjects of your videos (Calvin&Hobbes, Watchmen), & your videos truly do them justice. Keep up the good work.

This dude bumping killing it yet again, he uploads like once a moth but when he does, the wait is worth it.

i know little about comics, but i love this channel, you make me hyped about any subject!

Yo, you are hands-down the best youtuber ive seen. keep it it up.

Context is important on the comics sales numbers you mentioned. There was a huge boom in the comics industry in the '90s followed by a tremendous crash. Those numbers cited were a mix of brand recognition, #1 issue hype, style infatuation, and a craze spinning out of control; the actual quality of the comics themselves had little to do with it.

your channel continues to inspire me to be better and work on my craft

i think ive said this on eveyone of your videos...you are the BEST youtube has to offer. you knock it out of the park everytime, and as soon as i get some money, id be honored to support your pateron.

I love the quality of your videos! Great work!

I hope your channel blows up soon, you deserve millions of subscribers unlike other KZreadrs.

I had no clue about Spawn before this but i watched anyway because your videos are always amazing. idk how much of a film fan you are but id love to see you tackle a certain director or screenwriter for a video? Sorkin, Greengrass, inuarittu etc. in any case keep up the good work man, yourr probably my favourite channel

kaptainkritian, you are the man. You get it. You wowed me with your Godzilla video, you enamored me with the FLCL video. You got me to fall in love with the "cheesy" X-Men costumes. Those old Superman cartoons I had seen only a few times as a child were given new and enlightening perspectives on a character I usually am bored with. You reminded me that those cartoons were and still are amazing. The level of enthusiasm you have for art, all the way from Calvin & Hobbes to Spawn, is inspiring. Thank you for representing these mediums, these characters, these franchises, with all the respect they deserve. Thank you.

This is by far my new favorite channel

I think the best thing about these videos is that they never fail to be inspiring. Which is just incredible.
