The Marvel of Marvel Comics

There are videos that are always trying to sell you something, no matter how hard they try to hide it. Variant Comics made a video called, "The Top 10 Facts You Never Knew About Marvel Comics," and the video is informative and intriguing.

This video listed interesting facts that the general public (or even the average X-Men fan) probably don't know about Marvel Comics. For example, there was a little boy who didn't want to wear his hearing aid. Marvel found out about this and created Blue Ear, a superhero who wears a hearing aid!

Also, most fans don't know about the Marvel/DC Mash Up. Characters were merged together from both DC and Marvel superheroes creating a new genre in the realm of comics. This video was not only intriguing but it wasn't long, gave interesting facts about Marvel and its history.

Surprisingly enough, the video didn't contain any information or facts about Stan Lee. For years, Stan Lee and Marvel have gone together in the same sentence. However, this is a good thing because it's unexpected and went outside of the norm. There is so much more to Marvel Comics than Stan Lee and the characters that he created.

The video generated 382,521 views on YouTube and is still thriving. Under the comments section on YouTube, there was a lot of debate going but the debate wasn't based on the video per say. The debate was sparked over which is better, DC or Marvel and which superheroes were better. Overall, I was even more interested in the history of Marvel Comics and the video made me think about more than just the superheroes. I never felt like this was an ad or that Marvel was trying to convince me to leave DC Comics in any way.
