CBR Saga

Despite it being a huge moment in MCU history, the after-effects of the Blip have barely been highlighted. The direst consequences we’ve seen are students having to retake classes and midterms after getting dusted halfway through the school year. However, in Episode Four of Wandavision, we learned the true effects of the blip as a hospital that was already at capacity faced chaos as the vanished returned. If this took place in one hospital, think about what took place worldwide and across the universe as people randomly returned to the exact places they vanished? There would be an insane amount of casualties all across the universe and that isn’t even the worst of it.

After the universe got dusted the first time, everything essentially fell apart. As we saw in Avengers: Endgame, the world was barely managing to provide for those who survived, and now out of nowhere three and a half million people suddenly appear? What effects did this have? In today's CBR video we are going to discuss the lasting effects of the Blip in regards to housing, resources, and much more. How will the Vanished and those who survived to survive in this new world? We will also discuss Thanos’ ideology and ask was he justified in his reasoning to snap away half of life? By the end of this video, we will know if The Avengers are the hero of this story, or truly the villains? If you're ready CBR fans, this video starts right now! Thank you for watching!

Star Wars lore is a constantly expanding, consistently exciting subject that fans will literally never stop obsessing over. The never-ending wars between the light side and the dark that consume the rest of the galaxy are as fascinating as the lore that writers of both canon and legends have fleshed out over the years. One of the best aspects of Star Wars lore is the Dark Jedi, the dark side forces users who don’t identify as Jedi or Sith. These often-forgotten characters in Star Wars lore have fallen into obscurity since the Disney canon wiped most of them out. If I’m reading the signs of the future of the franchise correctly though, I think they’re about to make a comeback! So what better time is there to go over the fascinating history of the Dark Jedi, their powers, and even some of the most famous of their order?

First, we’ll start with where the term Dark Jedi comes from. The book series offered us our first continuing journeys of Star Wars long before the sequels or even the prequels would try. Then we’ll go over the history that followed as more writers took a crack at their version of the backstory of the Jedi and their dark counterparts. Finally, we’ll show the canonical and legends Dark Jedi that has made the term so legendary and even the ones who may be on the way.

So let’s dive into the history and lore of the Dark Jedi!

Doctor Strange’s charge is no small feat. He’s been tasked with protecting our reality from supernatural threats. In the Marvel Universe, that is a crowded field. There are gods from regular pantheons to deal with like the Norse and Greek gods on top of other-dimensional beings like Dormammu and Mephisto. With all the different universes and powers bopping around it can be hard to keep track of it all. Then there’s the task of cataloging all the spells one would need to defend the Earth from these threats. What would help is if someone wrote down everything you needed to know about the threats to our universe and the spells you’d need to do that. Enter the Book of Vishanti. There are a lot of spell books and tombs in Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum but the Book of Vishanti is the most important. It also has the distinction of predating the very idea of a Sorcerer Supreme. But who wrote that book? What are the Vishanti and why did they think they needed a book in the first place? We’ll explore the trio of powerful beings including Oshtur, Hoggath, and Agamotto that formed the Vishanti and the Elder Gods that created the need for such a book. Of course, you can’t have a good thing without having a bad thing as well, so there is also the demon Chthon’s Darkhold, the dark magic antithesis of the Book of Vishanti. Join us while we explore these powerful magic tombs and what they mean to the Marvel Universe.

Out of all the upcoming MCU shows that are coming to Disney+, the most exciting one has to be Secret Invasion, which is set to star Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury and Ben Mendelsohn’s Talos and adapt the popular and game-changing comic story of the same name. But looking at the current state of the MCU, it’s clear that the TV show will make some massive changes to the source material. Just how will the MCU tell this story? And who will be revealed to secretly be a Skrull in disguise? That’s what we’re here today to discuss!

In the comics, the members of the Illuminati were captured by Princess Veranke and her Skrull Empire and studied enough for the Skrulls to successfully infiltrate Earth, replacing such heroes like Electra, Hank Pym and Spider-Woman. Since the Skrulls are basically good guys in the MCU, what does that mean for this storyline? Will Talos and the Skrulls turn against Nick Fury and Earth? Or is there a rogue set of Skrulls out there somewhere plotting to take over Earth?

So check out today’s episode of CBR Saga to find out more! Once you’re done, be sure to hit that big like and subscribe button for more awesome MCU content like this! Also, I heard the only way to prove you’re not a Skrull is by hitting the subscribe button, so why risk it? Do it now! Alright done? Good. Let’s get into today’s episode, right now!

Thor has been through a lot in his time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He’s gone from a brash warrior who was willing to restart a war out of some bravado to someone who dealt with the loss of most of his people, his homeland, his father...and that isn’t even touching the complicated journey that he’s had with his brother who also eventually died. Died with an asterix because the multiverse is a complicated thing. He’s abdicated his throne to Valkyrie and hit the spaceways to find himself. Now, Thor will break new ground. He’ll be the first Avenger to get a fourth solo movie with Thor Love and Thunder. While we know that this is the movie where Jane Foster will get her Hammer on and gain the powers of Thor, but there might be more Thors than just that. Gorr the God Butcher has been revealed as the big bad of the new movie suggesting that Thor has more than just a bad guy to deal with, he might have to deal with not only himself but his past self and future self as well. Redditor TheMediocreCritic has pointed to the stories of Gorr from the comics to suggest that Thor in the MCU is destined to face himself in a way to explore the kind of growth that Thor has experienced across his time as an Avenger in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This might also provide the necessary mechanism for Jane to get ahold of Mjolnir and gain the powers of Thor. Gorr might even meet a key figure in someone else’s story, Knull and All Black the Necrosword. Let’s take a look at the many faces of Thor and how they all might be in Thor Love and Thunder.

Saiyans have long been touted as some of the greatest warriors to ever exist. Known for their innate rage, the power of the Saiyan has seemed limitless especially with transformations like Super Saiyan, Super Saiyan Two, Ultra Instinct and more being brought to the table. It’s their rage that gives them their strength -- or at least that’s what we were made to believe. According to many fan theories, many have come to believe that a Saiyans anger and emotionalism is actually their greatest weakness. If the Saiyans learned to control their rage then they could reach their true potential.

It’s an interesting question to think about so we’re going to look into this in today’s CBR video. What is it exactly that's allowed Goku to progress as far as he has and what is it that’s holding Vegeta back from reaching Goku’s potential? Why was Gohan able to turn Super Saiyan so early in his life and even more so Goten and Trunks? Does it have anything to do with their apparent gentle nature? Also, let's say the Saiyans did let go of their rage and emotionalism, what would their culture look like and how powerful could they become?

These questions and more are going to be answered in today's CBR video so if you're ready let’s get started! After watching we want to hear your thoughts. Is anger really a Saiyans greatest weakness?

Well, it’s FINALLY time for the MCU to come back! WandaVision is premiering soon and that will be the starter course to a never-ending Marvel feast of Disney+ television shows like Falcon And The Winter Soldier, Loki, and What If? Then there will be a second course of movies like Black Widow, Shang-Chi & The Legends of the Ten Rings, and The Eternals. Once all of that MCU goodness has been taken in, that means the road might be clear for plenty more in the future. That means we could get into some of the weirder corners of the Marvel comics universe. Weirder corners like The Ancient Avengers.

If you’re not a comic book reader who is intimately familiar with the works of Jason Aaron, you might be thinking, “Ancient Avengers? What is that like the same superhero team but the way in the past?” Well, if that’s what you’re thinking, you’re pretty much right on the money!

The Ancient Avengers or Avengers 1,000,000 B.C. are heroes from Earth’s ancient past who defended the planet before history was even around to record it. They included a few familiar faces like the original Black Panther, Iron Fist, and Sorcerer Supreme. Then there was the old king of Asgard Odin himself!

We’ll discuss the origins of all these heroes, how they could be introduced into the MCU Phase 4 and what an Ancient Avengers movie could look like. So let’s jump into the past together as we prove why the MCU needs to introduce the Ancient Avengers!

The future of the marvel cinematic universe looks bright with new characters and old characters, new formats, and old formats. While it’s been a long wait, the first entries in Phase IV of the Marvel Cinematic Universe have started to come in and they promise an epic follow-up to the epic Infinity Saga. Wanda and Vision have dealt with grief and loss and in the process unlocked some reality-bending powers as the Scarlet Witch. Sam Wilson has taken the mantle of Captain America and now the green magician is facing consequences for some of his actions. The Prince of Lies that left 2012 when he shouldn’t have has found himself in the hands of the TVA and hidden in the orientation by Miss Minutes is a clue to what might be in store for the Marvel Cinematic Universe going forward. Like the Marvel Ultimate universe created a few too many timelines for Marvel Comics, the divide between Marvel Studios and Marvel Entertainment, and the merger between Fox and Disney bringing in the Fantastic Four and Mutants, the Marvel Universe now has its own too many realities problem. Could it be that Miss Minutes' story about the different multiverses going to war is a portent of things to come? In the comics, the solution to that problem was 2015’s Marvel Comic that saw universe 616 come in conflict with the Ultimates 1610 with only one reality left standing in the end. Do you think this will be the epic conclusion of the new saga? Let us know below and be sure to like and subscribe for more CBR videos straight to your inbox.

The Avengers are going through a major change right now! Iron Man and Captain America are now gone and with them, the entire Avengers team is now in question. The main question we should be asking ourselves is who is going to step up and lead the Avengers against the next big threat that comes knocking on Earth’s door? Well, we think there’s only one answer! Spider-Man!

That’s right, Peter Parker should be the next leader of the Avengers. We just think overall it makes the most sense! Captain Marvel will be too busy doing off-world adventures, Black Panther has his own country to run and Doctor Strange seems like more of a lone wolf than a team leader. Spider-Man on the other hand is in a great spot to lead the team. He has a good heart, he’s a genius and he’ll always do whatever is right. Sure, he’s a little gullible right now and does things like give dangerous weapons to criminals, but we think he can grow out of that with a little more experience! Plus, Spider-Man would be the perfect character to be front and center as the MCU gets ready to explore the multiverse. You’re going to need a character like Spider-Man around as we start to explore different realities so it’s best for everyone if he’s the leader of the team!

So today’s video is all about Spider-Man and why exactly he should be the leader of the Avengers. We’ll be talking about some of his best moments in the MCU so far, as well as what he needs to go through in order to get him truly ready to be a leader. So check out the video below and be sure to leave a comment after you’re done telling us who you think should lead the team next.

He Who Remains hinted that out of all his variants, he’s one of the better ones, which is an idea that should terrify all of us. The third Tic-Tac movie surprised a lot of us by casting Jonathan Majors as the next potential Big Bad of the MCU and his placement in one of the franchise's least successful series of films raised a lot of eyebrows. But it makes a ton of sense. The Quantum Realm is going to be very important for the Immortus variant to move around through time in our universe so pitting Majors against the super Ant and the rest of his friends and family is the next logical step for the MCU.

But will everyone make it out of the movie in one piece? We don’t necessarily think so! For this new villain to really assert themselves and make a statement about their new dominance of the MCU, we think that means the main cast member won’t return for any more sequels! But just who exactly would that be? Would the franchise be so bold into ending the smallest superhero ever? Leaving his daughter and Wasp to avenge him? Or is it more likely that the first tiny shrinking hero, Hank Pym would be the one to get in the way of He Who Remains? Join Jacoby and Nick as they discuss all this and more on today’s CBR Saga!
