  Hello Marvel fans, comic geeks, nerds in general.
• 0:14
  I am Megan with vigilante vibes and I am here to answer another
• 0:17
  anonymous question that was sent in to me by my incredible
• 0:20
  listeners today. The question is also if you
• 0:25
  would like to send me anonymous questions so I could answer on
• 0:27
  the podcast, just click the link under this episode.
• 0:30
  I welcome it all. So this question is, what Marvel
• 0:34
  hero from the comics do you want to see in live action who hasn't
• 0:38
  been done yet? Beta Ray Bill, next question.
• 0:43
  No but seriously, Beta Ray Bill. If you don't know who Beta Ray
• 0:46
  Bill is or why people like him so much, it's OK.
• 0:52
  Imagine your Thor, you know you are God of Thunder, you have
• 0:56
  Mule near your super cool hammer, and you're just living
• 1:00
  your life. And then one day you are going
• 1:06
  through the galaxies doing your thing and you run into a whole
• 1:12
  fleet of ships that are following this one ship named
• 1:15
  Scuttlebutt. And they are fleeing from their
• 1:19
  home planet to somewhere else. And you're like, Oh my gosh, I
• 1:23
  have to fight them. But so you you do that.
• 1:27
  And then this guy, this huge dude comes out.
• 1:30
  He has a horse face and he picks up Mulnier and just starts
• 1:35
  beating the brakes off you. What are you to do?
• 1:38
  First of all, I love a good Thor humbling.
• 1:41
  I do love it. It it makes me happy.
• 1:44
  But Beta Ray Bill does it in such a way that you're like,
• 1:48
  it's impressive because he beats the brakes off Thor with Mulnir,
• 1:54
  which grants him the powers of Thor because he's able to lift
• 1:57
  up the hammer. He's worthy enough.
• 2:00
  Well, he's worthy not enough. There's not like a scale.
• 2:03
  It's just like worthy or not. So then what are you to do?
• 2:12
  You are Thor. This has never happened to you.
• 2:14
  And Odin being Odin's, like, you know what?
• 2:17
  Why don't we just, like, fight to the death for Molnier?
• 2:22
  And you're a Thor. Sure.
• 2:23
  You're like hell yeah. And Beta Ray Bill's like, you
• 2:26
  know what? I don't know, but I'll do it.
• 2:28
  And Beta Ray Bill wins. He wins.
• 2:33
  And then he's like, you know what?
• 2:35
  But I'm not going to kill you, Thor, because it's not right.
• 2:38
  And you're like, you're Thor in this situation.
• 2:43
  And you're like, dude, this guy has beat me.
• 2:45
  He has taken my hammer and now he's showing me mercy.
• 2:48
  What is this guy's deal? Well, this guy's deal is
• 2:51
  actually, he's like Thor and power sense, but he's actually
• 2:58
  just one of the kindest, most trustworthy and loyal characters
• 3:05
  in the entire Marvel Universe. And from the moment he refuses
• 3:12
  to kill Thor, he promises to be his battle bro for life.
• 3:16
  It's a bromance like no other. And it leads to I can't remember
• 3:23
  if it was Thor or Odin ordered a hammer to be made specifically
• 3:28
  for Beta Ray Bill and that is Stormbreaker.
• 3:30
  Many of you will remember Stormbreaker from Thor four.
• 3:34
  Well, that's Beta Ray Bill's Beta Ray Bill is kind of like
• 3:40
  he's like he's all the good aspects of a good comic, a Thor
• 3:46
  comic run built into one character.
• 3:50
  So he's basically one of the most honorable characters.
• 3:56
  He's noble. He's so good of AI don't even
• 4:00
  know if he's a person anymore. He's so good of a person that
• 4:04
  the as guardians were like, OK, he's making us look bad.
• 4:08
  So he's there. There is the horse face.
• 4:14
  He does have a horse face, which adds to the character.
• 4:17
  But his planet, Corbin, it went through a huge genetic
• 4:21
  transformation to help its people survive this alien threat
• 4:26
  that was coming, which was the reason they left the planet to
• 4:28
  save the species. Beta Ray Bill's people were like
• 4:31
  genetically engineered to become more powerful.
• 4:35
  So his appearance is directly from that, which is which is
• 4:39
  interesting. But yeah, the last time I read
• 4:43
  him, he was in the new Storm run where right at the end of the
• 4:51
  Thunder War going on, he was one of the Thunder gods.
• 4:55
  So he is an incredible character.
• 4:57
  He's so cool. But personally, I think he's way
• 5:03
  better than Thor. He's what Thor should have been,
• 5:05
  but it's just he's not. But he's a character that comes
• 5:11
  with so much depth. He has.
• 5:14
  I mean, I mean, look, to put in perspective, his one of his like
• 5:18
  personal enemies, someone he has beaten the trash out of and
• 5:22
  almost killed was Galactus. Do you know how big, powerful,
• 5:27
  how many powers Galactus has? He's huge.
• 5:29
  He's huge in every sense of the word.
• 5:32
  And it's just all this guy is, is like a robot alien who kicks
• 5:40
  so much ass. And it's I just don't think he
• 5:43
  ever gets the credit he deserves as who he is as a character.
• 5:48
  He's such a big part. Well, I mean, what I consider a
• 5:52
  big part of Thor's story in the comics, I think he adds to Thor.
• 5:56
  But it's like, what? Come on, we're only going to get
• 5:59
  Thor in like one or two more movies, right?
• 6:02
  I would think so. Why not moving forward after
• 6:05
  that? Why not be Beta Ray Bill?
• 6:09
  I don't see what? I don't see what the problem is
• 6:10
  with that. But yeah, so that's who I would
• 6:13
  choose. Let me know in the comments who
• 6:15
  you would choose. If you'd like to ask questions,
