I think that one of the reasons that people like Spider-Man so much is his rogues gallery. They are what Peter could've became if he didn't adhere to "With great power comes great responsibility." In essence, they are all mirror images of him.

@@matthewschwartz6607 well he stole power from New York several times which could’ve caused a lot of deaths, he’s in the sinister six/works with evil people, and constantly tries to murder Spider-Man. Rob also said he tried to DESTROY THE WORLD on a few occasions. Idk about you but that sounds pretty evil to me.

I mean, he seems to be used more as a thug and or villain for hire. If you ask me, the best Electro stories are Spectacular Spider-Man #133-135 (Around there. It was the sequel to The Death Of Jean DeWolff.) and Amazing Spider-Man #423-425.

@@rnspurgn3015 Agreed. Slott’s main problem was that he HATED Peter Parker and pretty much depicted him as an irresponsible asshole, who’s problems weren’t bad luck but we’re justified punishment for his terrible behavior, which is, ya know, the exact opposite of who Peter Parker is. I think it’s telling that the story he is best remembered for is the only Spider-Man story with little to no Peter Parker.

Ok Rob, going to all of your newest videos, and commenting on all of them. Want to let you know how awesome your content is. You've brought me back to the fold. I need comics in my life rn. You've given me that gift. Ty, ty, ty, ty, sir.
I really appreciate that you always explain everything as though it's the first time you're bringing it up. It really helps me keep up.
I never get the "X defeated Y - so he has to be stronger than Z because he got defeated by Y in that specific circumstance!" Characters are always treated like there is something like a singular definite "power" stat by which you can rank everyone. That is just not the case. It's much more akin to Rock/Paper/Scissors - a character may be incredibly strong in one circumstance, but utterly useless in another. Sure, at some point characters become so strong that their strengths almost counter anything that could exploit weaknesses by default, but even there you can find interesting interactions... Let's look at that example at 11:06 : The Hulk has a history of being knocked out. Overloading his brain in various ways is one of the few ways to defeat him (given you're quick enough that he doesn't pass a certain threshold in rage). A well aimed and powerful electric shock from Electro can certainly do that. Spider-Man on the other hand has no such ability at his disposal, forcing him to face the Hulk head-on - and the latter massively eclipses almost all Spidey's powers... However, pairing Electro and Spider-Man against each other, you again have a different scenario: Electro has a power output that Spidey can't compare to, but that's about all. Between the spider-sense and peak agility/mobility, Peter largely negates that, dodging all his attacks - long enough to figure out a way to take him out using his genius-level intellect. Of course that doesn't always have to be the case and small changes in the exact circumstances can vastly tip the balance - let's say next time the Hulk is just a tiny bit too angry for that shock to knock him out; or Electro visited some trap laying 101 courses where he learned how to prepare the battlefield to his advantage... It would all go very differently... From this angle things like Galactus beating Dormammu in his home dimension make enough sense: An energy based entity attacked an energy absorber, noticing far too late that he had been feeding him his own power... Paper covers Rock.
Heck Yeah Rob Corps are here woa.
I really appreciate the time you give your corp. Been following your education since 2014.!.!
I just wanna say, sometimes change can even be good. It just needs to be done well. I think MoonKnight is a good example.
I love that he treats every video like everyone’s first video, even if I’ve heard the explanation of something I NEVER skip it
If this was Rob 6 years ago he’d die before covering any Spider-Man content.

Rob, The thing you said @ 15:40 about "treating every video as someone's first video" (I'm assuming you mean to your channel) is a great way to gain new subs & retain the ones you have. It's also one of the many reasons I've been subbed for the last few years. Some characters & stories you cover could very well be someone's introduction to the video's topic. The best uploads like that are the ones that tell you just enough that you'd wanna read for yourself, no major spoilers and have some humor. Hopefully I'll run into you someday like @ a convention or something 😂!! I'll be sure to speak, if I recognize you, since I recall in another video that you get a kick out of those kinda things! Keep up the great work!! (At your leisure ofc. Nothing is more important than self-care.)
I'm always learning stuff from this channel 🔥

Re mastered The Rob Files
For a split moment in the movie he had a star of electricity on his head, I noticed it because it reminded me of nova
I just want more info into that run where he was depressed and Spiderman only noticed it when he saw the blocks Electro had blacked out spelled out "Help Me"
I like how in Spider-man TAS Electro is basically consider a living weapon worst than a Nuke.
Electro has the most ridiculous mask that I actually like.
Damn Amazing Spiderman #9 was one of the four comics I ever owned, brought back the feels . Had the other one where he met Dr. Doom and the Fantastic Four. Thanks Rob for the nostalgia 🤘🏽
Love the spider-man content! You should do more
The funny thing is the deeper side of Electro’s orgin from the comics was originally going to be in Marc Webb’s cut of TASM2. I remember Jamie Foxx mentioning in the comic con pannel that Max had a farther that left him when he was kid,which made his mother over protective, and a wife that left him for whatever reason. It does really explain in the actual movie we got why Max acts the way acts and says a lot about who he is.Hopefully this does get revisited in some way with him no appearing in No Way Home.

As it is, it's very easy to chalk up everything Max does in TASM2, before and after he gets his powers, to "That guy's crazy!!"

Great video, Rob. Any chance you could an Inhumans video someday? I'm curious how you feel about some of the earlier concepts Kirby and Lee presented, as well as Charles Soule's and Saladin Ahmed's interpretations. Thank you for your consideration, and have a blessed day all.
Wouldn't controlling the electromagnetic spectrum basically make him almost at reality-warping tier? (since he basically controls one of the 4 fundamental forces) (and basically at, if not better than magneto outright)

Yall have some conservative thoughts. I mean studies have shown that criminals and drug addicts are much more likely to reform when given treatment and rehabilitation. Electro seems to me to be one of the villians who could actually be a good candidate for this kind rehabilitation. Based off what Rob said he seems like he is a villian born of circumstance, who continues villianous acts because it is the most beneficial to him. Homeboy needs better opportunities and therapy. Of course all of that hinges on whether or not the person wants to/believes they can be better

I like that Sony is fleshing out the villains of Marvel . In a way they are giving these villains more context and heart than even the comics in some instances or they have the opportunity to . When Venom was released I figured maybe because Marvel is so big in catalog of characters Sony and Marvel Studios could be teaming up to bring the marvel universe to the big screen proper with Disney producing the more family friendly stories and Sony handling the more mature stories . But they could actually add more layers to the villains simultaneously giving them the Thanos treatment to make the audience question the morality of whatever future contention arises between the heroes and the villains . Giving these characters more depth and motivation on top of more comic accurate narration of significant events will please fans, intrigue casual movie goers, and take the lions share of movie and merchandise profits to put It nicely.
If I want to get into the MU and start from the classic and slowly get into the new stuff- - how could I start or should I just start with the new?

I love comics. There's an optimism to them. In real life few, if any, would be able to not be corrupted by actually having super powers. It may take longer for some but powers like the ones we see in comics would make everyone do selfish things more and more until they just felt better than other humans. It's natural. The food chain and such. I feel like that's the reason no one actually has super powers. Our species wouldn't be ready for it.
I know this is way off topic but I was just thinking. We could possibly see a kang variant in eternals. I was noticing watching the eternals trailer they were in Egypt at one point.
