My guess is the living tribunal is still recovering from the death of the multiverse in secret ward and oblivion got a boost from it. That’s why they’re even now

Not sure if I like this new scaling: Death, Oblivion, Infinity and Eternity being even parts was pretty logical to me. It's Hickman writing, though, so definitely worth waiting to see.
So much of this reads like DC/Vertigo's The Invisibles, both the language and the artwork.
Could you imagine if Cypher were to decipher the language of the Black Priests? That would be an interesting story-arch.
Damn, who would’ve suspected that the retired old women at The Villages could be vicious enough to cook up the traveler in a pot?

Well, it shouldn't really matter. Cosmic entities only really fight against their antithesis, who by definition is equivalent in power, or the universe would become too out of balance to exist anymore.

the final moments with oblivion were crazy intimidating. Such beautiful art.
I love how oblivion looks he’s other worldly but not eldritch horror but rather a great shadow telling you just how wrong you and everything else is but having to live with that shadow no matter how much you deny it because you know it’s a irreplaceable part of you what could happen if you don’t keep it on a very tight leash and how despite the consequences you agree with that shadow somewhere deep down in your soul
Finally I've been waiting on this! While I agree with others that I don't like seeing The Living Tribunal "depowered" I like this story because we get to learn more about the cosmic entities.
How can he be the LIVING Tribunal when he dies so much?

Rob, you should do a video ranking all the cosmic entities and characters. We are so confused recently... we want to know how the hierarchy is set nowadays.
Good job on the scene transitions. They look really good!
the criminal reference killed me lol (sorry for my spelling).
Aiko: “ I need the bad thing I did changed” Amidalog: “Nope”😂😂😂😂😂😂
Amazing job on the video Rob. The Living Tribunal and Oblivion are some of my favorite characters in marvel.
When you say 'even keel' I think you should note that from a hierarchy they may be on the same level but their power may not be, especially depending on how restricted or unrestricted they are by their nature.
These kinds of series are my favorite. I love when we get to learn more about the Marvel cosmics. Interesting that Order and Chaos were mentioned, considering their other interaction in another story where they killed the LT to create a new being "LOGOS"

@@RafaAldezTo exist "on the same axis" does not have to mean that these beings are equal in power. Look at the context. He is being asked to meddle in the affairs of The Powers That Be and The Natural Order on the claim that he has done so in the past. He corrects this misunderstanding which indicates someone else did but the term "axis", rather than any other term, is very telling as if two points exist on the same axis then they can never meet or intersect one another. Therefore all we learn here is that The Living Tribunal has no authority over these groups not that he is weaker than them which isn't really unexpected as we know his jurisdiction mainly extends only to lesser beings becoming multiversal threats.
Thank you for your work on these issues. Found you through your Xmen work, but I absolutely adore this series - I must get my own issues now...
I didn't knew that Knull the Symbiote God was an avatar of Oblivion. I wonder if Eddie Brock, Dylan Brock, and Carnage will be involved in the future. And where does the Eventuality fit in this?

Where did you hear that marcellus' soul was in the briefcase? As far as I know Tarantino himself said he left it ambiguous and open to interpretation on purpose, because he wants the viewer to make their own ending.

Hold up. Haven't you (Rob) been saying Oblivion was more powerful than the one above all 🤔? I remember saying in your videos (you can see it if you go back to them) oblivion isn't more powerful or as powerful as the one above all. This video proves he's not more powerful than the one above all. Also she said she serve two masters (Oblivion and LT) this does not automatically equate to Oblivion being as powerful as LT. It just means Oblivion is more powerful than her. Lastly, master order and lord chaos are not on the same level as LT. That's not what this issue tells me. Similar purpose yes. Same powel levels? No.

i never understood what you meant by “the link to the playlist is below”... every video i check the description and the only links are to otjer starting points for various comic types but not necessarislly the playlist for the storyline in the current video. Honestly It’s why I stopped watching these videos because the playlists are too confusing to navigate with how many there are and the description usually doesn’t have the actual link
This story feels like the most complete currently on the market
I cannot get enough of this 🍿
To share the same representative does not mean two beings are of equal power and authority. To draw an example within this theme of laws and judges, a lawyer can represent many people who are very different and in some cases when someone cannot afford a representative of their own one can be provided for them by the authorities. Following that there we're brought to the conclusion that Oblivion is not capable of having or refuses to have a representative and therefore The Living Tribunal assigns their own representative to also represent Oblivion. Indeed it is very odd among the Marvel gods to not have an avatar or representative within the physical world..
that’s so badass, waiting for Robs breakdown of the marvel Gods hierarchy
