Why The Maker Could Be The Ultimate Villain For The MCU

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

The future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is very much in flux, even with Avengers: Secret Wars on the horizon. But if the MCU is to continue beyond that movie, it’ll need a new villain.

And I strongly believe the Maker should be that villain.

He’s not just an evil, broken version of Reed Richards. He is the ultimate worst case scenario for any Marvel universe. And he would present a truly unique threat to the MCU for multiple phases. Enjoy!

PS: I started working on this video before Fantastic Four: First Steps came out. And I was too far along when I eventually saw it. So, please keep that in mind.

Ultimate Universe One Year Later: Promise, Outlook, And Concerns

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

In this video, I reflect on how Marvel’s all-new, all-different Ultimate Universe has developed over the course of the past year. It has been generally good, but with a fair amount of not-so-good here and there. Things did slow for a while, but new series and new developments in 2025 hold great promise that’s definitely worth discussing. Enjoy!

Thought Experiment: How Much Power Can One Person Effectively Wield?

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is another thought experiment about the nature of power and wielding it effectively. Whether in ancient times or during a modern day election season, people seek power and they seek to wield it. The extent to which they’re effective tends to vary wildly.

But that raises an important question. Just how much power can one person effectively wield?

The implications of this question are far-reaching. Our society needs people in power to run effectively. But what is the limit? And how do we navigate it? I welcome any additional insights or thoughts. Enjoy!

Jack’s Comic Gems | King In Black

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This is video another entry in my ongoing “Jack’s Comic Gems” collection. And this particular comic is essentially a case study in just how great a modern comic book crossover event can be. “King In Black” might as an event centered on Eddie Brock and Venom. And while they are certainly part of it, this story is so much bigger than that.

It’s a dark, but beautiful display of superhero worldbuilding and epic battles featuring the god of all symbiotes, Knull. The stakes couldn’t be higher, personally and globally in King In Black. And it’s one of those unique events that shows just what Marvel can be at its best. Enjoy!

Ultimate Marvel Universe 6160: The State Of This New Marvel Universe And Its Ultimate Future

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

It’s been a year since Marvel launched and all-new, all-different Ultimate Universe. Jonathan Hickman got things going with Ultimate Invasion. Since then, multiple new series have come out. And the aftermath of Ultimate Invasion has been building towards a major showdown against the Maker’s Council.

In this video, I take a moment to reflect on how far this new Ultimate Universe has come in the past year, where it may go moving forward, and potential pitfalls it may encounter along the way. Enjoy!

Avengers, X-Men, And Why The Difference Matters

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World.

This video is a bit of a rant on the Avengers, the X-Men, and how they’re depicted in popular media. One is a celebrated team of heroes. The other is hated and feared, even as they try to be heroes, as well. There are many reasons for this that go beyond the general narrative. And with mutants poised to enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I believe the time is right to highlight and scrutinize those differences. Enjoy!

Fallen Friend: The Death Of Ms. Marvel #1 | Reaction, Spoilers, And (Uncanny) Speculation

This is a video from my YouTube channel, Jack’s World. This video is a general reaction to the events of Fallen Friend: The Death of Ms. Marvel #1.

After the incredibly dumb events of Amazing Spider-Man #26, which resulted in the death of Ms. Marvel, this issue deals with the aftermath. And while there are certainly moments worth highlighting, there are also some hints and teases that have me making some distinctly uncanny speculating. Enjoy!

Also, I uploaded this video just a few hours before the news dropped from Entertainment Weekly about Iman Vellani writing “Ms. Marvel: The New Mutant.” So yes, I’m aware it hasn’t aged well already.
