The Smark Avengers

In a Smark Avengers first, the trio has become a duo as Jon is in Germany so you know what that means? Join Corey and Dylan as they talk about beaches and one of Dylan's favorite characters - Hydro Man!

The city's youth have fallen prey to a mysterious new drug called Mash and the person capable of saving the day is a cowboy and his catatonic son! Also... Spider-Man is there too. Oh! And Kitty Pryde likes hugging old men she just met after breaking all of their shit! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they watch episode 3 of Japanese Spider-Man and the pilot episode of the late 1980's X-Men cartoon - Pryde of the X-Men!

Shoulder pads? Check. Pouches? Check. Absurd guns in both size and quantity? Check. A mysterious backstory? Check. That 1990s "in your face" attitude? Oh you better believe it! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they hop into a time machine and discuss the most 90's characters they can think of!

Last week's episode was so jam packed that we couldn't keep it contained to one part! Listen to Corey, Dylan, and Jon discuss Wonder Woman's pants, Jean Gray's pink bubble armor, Chamber's surprising bloodline, and more as they look back at character updates that just didn't stick!

All new! All different! Earth shattering revelation! The world will never be the same! Blah blah blah... we've all heard this song and dance before, right? Some hotshot writer comes in with a new status quo that's going to change everything but is ultimately retconned and forgotten within two years. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they discuss the electric blue Superman, Spider-Man's organic webshooters, Jubilee being turned into a vampire and much, much more!

Scott Summers has been the longest tenured member of the X-Men ever since Charles Xavier recruited him to his school of gifted youngsters. He's been the consummate leader, the ultimate strategist, and not afraid to make the hard calls that will put him at odds with his teammates. Is there more to Cyclops behind the ruby quartz sunglasses? Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they break down Cyclops' history, his trouble with women, and his militant approach to protecting his people from the looming dangers of the world!

It's that time again! Despite having a list of topics they wanted to make a show about, the Smark Avengers said "fuck it!" and are going to talk about whatever! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they discuss such topics as Armless Tiger Man footjobs, follow-up conversation on Generation-X, alcohol in Ireland, and even more X-Men talk!

What started in an earlier episode as an unlocked memory for Corey and Jon has culminated in this moment! What does a product placement for Virtual Fighter, Max Headroom doing a Jim Carey impersonation, a terrible Irish accent, and a bunch of unlikeable creeps have in common? Fox's 1996 television pilot for the Marvel Comics X-Universe tie-in series Generation-X! Emma Frost and Banshee have assembled a team of young teenagers played by young adults to train and develop their powers while a mutant hating inventor obsessed with dream experimentation and loud suits tries to accomplish a not-so-clear plot. Please join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they watch Generation-X!

This should be easy right? All we're going to do is talk about Ben Reilly, right? Well you can't talk about Ben Reilly without talking about the Clone Saga... and you can't talk about the Clone Saga without talking about Kaine... and you can't talk about Kaine without talking about The Jackal... and you can't talk about the Jackel without talking about Spidercide... and... I'm sensing a pattern here. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they talk about their favorite Spider-Clone, the Scarlett Spider, Ben Reilly!

Previously on X-MEN... "Wolverine look out!" "This one's for Morph!" "Scott!" Sorry. Had to get that out of my system. Anyway, for those of us who grew up in the 90's, the X-Men were the be-all, end-all of comic book characters. So imagine how we felt when the very first live action X-Men movie came out in the year 2000. Since then there have consistently been X-Men movies coming out for almost a quarter of a century! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they talk about what works and what didn't work in 25 years of X-Men movies!

The bell has rung, the small tights are on, and Dylan is coming off the top rope with a big elbow drop all the way from Belfast, Ireland to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania! What happens when 1/3rd of the Smark Avengers travels all the way to America for the biggest professional wrestling show of the year? You get an extra long episode of the Smark Avengers as Dylan recounts what it's like to be in America, Jon talks about watching it on TV, and Corey didn't watch it at all! Can it be? Are the Smark Avengers finally going to live up to their joke name? It's a cold day in Hell indeed!

Ugh! This guy again? Why does he have so many powers? Why is she the only character that can beat that villain? Why is this guy in EVERY single book plus his own mini-series, plus his own elseworlds title, plus his own original graphic novel?! Don't the publishers realize that they SUCK?! Oh... wait... they don't? They actually make the publishers a lot of money? Huh... ain't that a bitch? Anyway, when have the Smark Avengers ever let something like logic get in the way of a good time? Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they talk about over-rated characters and why they hate them!

The most important part of being part of a team is having a unified goal or vision. Some want to make life a little easier... some want to leave the world a better place than how they found it... and some just really hate Spider-Man. A team that has seen the likes of Doc Ock, Kraven the Hunter, Mysterio, and the Vulture - the Sinister Six is the premier villainous team-up in the world of the Webhead. Over the past 60 years the Sinister Six have seen multiple line-ups but who is to say that any of those were the PERFECT line-up? Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they discuss who they think could make the best line-up of the Sinister Six!

It's not all movie analytics, killing costumed heroes, making lists of characters, and breaking down X-Men for the Smark Avengers. Sometimes it's important to just hang back and shoot the breeze! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they discuss topics such as Armless Tiger Man's return, the upcoming changes to the X-Men titles, and the failed Generation-X television show!

The Fastest Man Alive... the Sultan of Speed... the Scarlet Speedster... the Monarch of Motion... the Soldier of the Speed Force... and the latest victim of the Smark Avengers! Not satisfied with the demise of Aquaman, the bloodthirsty boys of the UK are back and have claimed the Flash as their next victim! I mean... the Flash just has super speed right? He certainly can't have a million other powers... right? Join Dylan and Jon as they plot the demise of the DC Universe's premier Speedster... and Corey raining on their parade with how it may not be as easy as they think!

Don't call it a come back! The Smark Avengers are back to continue their series of videos breaking down the original five X-Men with the "coolest" member to... no. No. I can't. I can't do this. Bobby "Iceman" Drake may be the youngest of the original five mutants but he's also one of the most powerful as an Omega Level... and yet also the most boring. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they discuss Iceman and how despite always being used in series they never seem to do anything interesting with him!

Everyone knows the origin of Batman's right hand man, the Boy Wonder, Robin! He was a circus performer... no wait... a different circus performer... hold on... I meant to say a street kid trying to steal the wheels off the Batmobile... or did I mean to say a boy genius who could be the greatest detective alive one day... or was it a girl trying to show that she was more than capable enough to prove herself to one of her harshest critics... or was it the son of Batman? Well, okay, maybe there is more than one origin because there is more than one Robin! Wait, there are five?! And they all count as part of the same continuity?! Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they discuss all the main continuity characters who have dawned the "R", the downsides of working with Batman, and why dead parents seems to be part of the recruitment process.

Robert Frost once wrote, "Nothing gold can stay." Before there was the MCU, the DCU, and every CU aside from the Intense Care Unit, a little company called Sony hired Sam Raimi to make a movie about everyone's favorite wallcrawler and things were good! Then, suddenly, things weren't so good... and then the Mouse got involved and cut a deal too good to be true and suddenly things looked even worse. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they discuss the rise and fall of Sony's Spider-Man universe!

How do you follow up 23 super successful movies? Release a bunch of stuff no one particularly cares about. How do you compete with the largest, multi-genre, crossover movie series of all time? Put out a bunch of stuff full of executive meddling that no one particularly cares about. Join Corey, Dylan, and Jon as they discuss the history of the MCU, crunch some numbers, and discuss whether or not the super hero genre will ever see the same heights again!
