of 00:10 people are struggling 00:11 with uh everything's going on right now 00:13 with that rhona that is running around 00:16 i just want to say real quick for the 00:17 start of this video i wish i would have 00:18 said it in other videos and just i kind 00:20 of felt like i've been trying not to 00:21 talk about it but 00:22 it just seems like it's one of those 00:23 things it's not going away so 00:25 i just hope that before we get in this 00:26 video you're being safe 00:28 you're taking care of yourselves and 00:30 that you and your families 00:31 are steering well and clear 00:34 of all of this that said we're gonna be 00:37 talking about x-men 00:38 number nine by jonathan hickman and 00:41 lionel francis you 00:42 and in this video we're gonna discuss 00:44 exactly 00:45 what the brood king egg really 00:48 is and the role that brew will play in 00:52 this 00:52 going forward we're gonna talk about all 00:54 that and more 00:55 right now but first let's hit that intro 00:59 word of wise grass only greener when 01:01 it's fertilized gave them truth in these 01:03 songs they prefer the lies 01:05 destiny beautiful adrift in her purple 01:07 eyes you can't see me you stevie 01:09 wondering how i reach more evolutions 01:12 [Music] 01:14 if you want to see more awesome comic 01:15 book videos like this one it only takes 01:17 two clicks to become one of earth's 01:19 mightiest subscribers 01:21 click click in this book we've learned 01:24 that since the brood have returned we 01:27 know the reason why they're clashing 01:29 with each other 01:30 in this war to take control of the king 01:33 egg and that reason is the cree you see 01:36 even though the cree 01:37 are currently facing their own 01:39 extinction currently but are also 01:41 kind of going through a resurgence now 01:42 in lieu of everything going on 01:44 with empire right now but in the past 01:47 we learned that supreme or the kree 01:50 supreme intelligence foresaw all of this 01:54 that they would not be around 01:55 to see the fruits of this labor but 01:58 decree 01:59 are the ones who created the king egg 02:02 as a way to take control of what they 02:05 saw 02:06 as a weaponized asset and use it against 02:09 other societies you know 02:11 when the need arose this isn't too 02:13 dissimilar if you're familiar with 02:14 movies like the aliens 02:16 franchise you know you think about the 02:18 company waylon yutani 02:20 that's kind of their whole mo was taking 02:22 the xenomorphs 02:23 and turning them into weapons and that's 02:25 exactly what the cree 02:26 are doing here they were trying to use 02:29 the brood as a weapon against their 02:31 enemies 02:32 matter of fact the brood weren't even 02:34 the first ones they actually tried to 02:36 use this on 02:36 they tried to use this on the talabari 02:39 the sidri who we just recently saw 02:41 in a giant size x-men nightcrawler 02:44 they just recently kind of made a return 02:46 all of a sudden the scatter the phalanx 02:49 the brood was really the first one they 02:50 got any actual success with 02:52 and they planned to use this against all 02:54 of their rivals the skrulls the badoon 02:56 the shiar galador which i know this is 02:59 not the first time galador 03:01 has been brought up since uh you know 03:03 all this has been going on 03:04 galadore was actually brought up during 03:06 cable number one now i didn't talk about 03:08 it in the video because 03:09 well one i'm not the biggest fan of rom 03:12 the space night it was 03:14 never really a thing for me um it was 03:15 one of those situations where i think by 03:17 the time 03:18 that you know i was coming up in rom the 03:20 space night was a thing 03:21 i was already aware of in my humble 03:24 opinion 03:25 better space nights than rom 03:28 uh in the form of the space sheriff 03:31 series which you know like 03:32 gavin scheider spielbaugh 03:35 b fighter cabato you know the shows that 03:37 gave you the vr troopers 03:39 and the big bad beetle borgs 03:41 respectively 03:42 not to mention huge kamen rider fan you 03:43 can kind of see right here i've seen 03:45 better space 03:46 nights than rom sorry so galador just 03:49 really didn't stick out to me as 03:50 anything important but now that i 03:52 you know did a little research a little 03:53 reading i'm now aware of who he is 03:55 and that said this is just another way 03:57 to kind of remind us that this is all 03:59 connected 04:00 we also learned that the accuser who we 04:03 met in the previous issue of x-men 04:04 he was around when the king egg was 04:06 brought into being 04:08 now because of all the things that have 04:10 happened between now and then that the 04:11 cree had fallen on hard times 04:13 that kind of makes sense as to why the 04:15 she are had the king egg in their 04:17 possession 04:18 in new mutants number one and with the 04:19 mutants having it it's kickstarted this 04:21 whole 04:22 damn brewed swarm but in light of all 04:25 that we do learn the cyclops havoc 04:27 vulcan 04:28 marvel girl and company they were all 04:29 able to successfully 04:31 lead the brood away from earth at least 04:34 we assume there are hundreds of 04:37 thousands of millions 04:38 of brood bearing down on them right now 04:42 and they have followed them all the way 04:43 to the station where the accuser 04:45 and corsair and the rest of the star 04:47 jammers are hiding out 04:49 to make matters worse gladiator and his 04:51 son and 04:52 the rest of the the shia imperial guard 04:55 have also pulled 04:56 up so it's just really interesting 04:57 almost like if you ever familiar with 04:59 movies like uh snatch 05:00 or lock stock and two smoking barrels 05:02 it's one of those situations where it's 05:03 like oh wow we got these people 05:05 who are coming from completely different 05:06 sides of things all 05:08 converging on one point and hilarity 05:11 naturally will ensue with the accuser 05:14 and gladiator who at this particular 05:16 point has 05:16 full permission from his son to run that 05:19 fade on this creed dog and i mean 05:23 spacing this guy in the process this all 05:26 leads to cyclops and company 05:28 leading one of these giant cosmic space 05:31 whale things the brood use to pilot 05:34 their way through space 05:35 and crashing into it and sending 05:37 everything down to the planet below 05:39 which supposedly this planet 05:41 seemingly has no life now one of the 05:43 things i found really 05:44 interesting in this is that when the 05:46 that when all parties converge into this 05:48 nearby cavern 05:49 on the planet where they've crash 05:50 crash-landed we get this really 05:52 interesting conversation between cyclops 05:54 and gene about the state of the brood 05:56 and 05:56 why they're doing what they're doing 05:58 because scott wants her to read their 05:59 mind see if she can probe in there 06:01 maybe exert some form of control and 06:03 marvel girl reveals that their thoughts 06:05 are too manic and mad to try and control 06:08 to imagine the sheer amount of control 06:10 that the queens of the brood 06:13 have over the rest of the hive the fact 06:16 that the queens pretty much 06:17 do whatever they want whenever they want 06:20 they eat whatever they want whenever 06:21 they want 06:22 they kill whatever they want whenever 06:24 they want and to further iterate this 06:26 the fact that she has 06:28 millions millions 06:32 willing to die just so she can have in 06:35 excess 06:36 of everything she already has everything 06:38 that she you 06:39 could ever want that she doesn't even 06:41 really truly need and then try imagining 06:43 what it feels like when something comes 06:45 along 06:46 that threatens that i don't know man 06:48 that's a lot of really powerful 06:49 commentary 06:50 uh about the state of things when you 06:52 think about the one percent 06:53 uh in this country you know they have 06:55 more money people who have 06:57 billions and billions of dollars 06:58 literally have more money than they 07:00 could ever 07:00 hope to want to attain they have more 07:03 money than they would even know what to 07:04 do with 07:05 they have so much money in fact that 07:07 they never would ever be able to spend 07:09 all of it 07:09 and yet somehow whenever someone comes 07:12 walking along 07:13 saying oh hey we want to tax you you 07:16 on every extra millionth dollar you make 07:18 after this certain number of millions 07:21 suddenly they start screaming and crying 07:23 out in pain as though they've been 07:24 you know struck down by lightning by 07:26 thor the god of thunder himself 07:28 i think that's a very interesting 07:29 commentary that hickman is making there 07:31 i mean i'm kind of drawing it myself but 07:33 i mean 07:33 knowing the type of writer that hickman 07:35 is and his thought processes about this 07:38 it's not really that much of a reach but 07:40 that's not the most 07:41 important part of all this because the 07:43 problem is it's the king 07:44 egg the king egg is the reason all this 07:46 is happening you see originally 07:48 i thought that they wanted the queens 07:51 wanted to hatch this egg because it 07:53 would just increase their power 07:55 that is not actually the case what they 07:58 wanted to do 07:59 was eat it you see whoever can get a 08:01 hold of the king egg will hold 08:03 absolute power over the hive that's why 08:06 all the queens 08:06 are freaking out and doing everything 08:08 they can to kill whatever gets in their 08:10 way so they can get 08:11 to the king egg and as the x-men and the 08:14 star jammers 08:15 and the shia imperial guard are 08:17 literally fighting for their life 08:18 the brood suddenly stop they stop 08:21 attacking 08:22 they stop swarming they just sit and 08:24 wait 08:25 because now a new king 08:29 has stepped forward to control the brew 08:31 you see the brood 08:32 are a matriarchal society there were 08:36 no kings the most you had was an empress 08:39 and an 08:40 empress would bear the firstborn of the 08:43 brood 08:44 and then those would spawn off more 08:46 brood now 08:47 that's where things change because the 08:49 empress 08:50 was destroyed and when she was destroyed 08:53 her firstborn died with her 08:55 and this is what leads to that hierarchy 08:57 falling down to the queens the queens 08:59 right now 09:00 are the only law in brood society 09:03 with dwarf queens under them and then 09:05 drones 09:06 after them but if someone were to say i 09:09 don't know 09:10 eat the king egg i don't know 09:13 maybe someone by the name of i don't 09:16 know 09:16 brew he would possess the power 09:20 of the empress what's inside the king 09:22 egg is 09:23 synthetic pheromones the same pheromones 09:26 the cree use 09:27 to control the brood or at least back 09:29 when they tried 09:30 brew will basically be lord of the brood 09:34 and they will do 09:35 whatever he says for the next five 09:38 to ten cree cycles now i would be remiss 09:42 if i didn't at least mention that all of 09:45 this 09:45 can be undone and disrupted should 09:47 another king 09:48 egg be produced but who 09:51 in all of the known universe would want 09:54 to do that 09:56 that motherfucker did but the problem 09:58 being with that theory is that 09:59 if he could make a new king egg he 10:01 probably just would have done it anyway 10:03 instead of having the star jammer steal 10:04 one but who's to say that maybe he just 10:06 felt that that was the easier path 10:08 but either way something tells me a new 10:10 king egg is going to get introduced 10:12 at some point but i'm even more curious 10:14 now as to what's going to happen with 10:16 the brood now 10:17 that brew is in control of them is brew 10:20 going to bring them back to krakow is he 10:22 going to send them somewhere else 10:23 are you the musical gonna you know 10:26 repurpose the brood in much the same way 10:28 that that supremor 10:29 was going to use them back in the day i 10:32 mean you know 10:33 the x-men do need an army they are a 10:35 nation they are no longer this is 10:36 something i think people keep forgetting 10:37 yes they are 10:38 no longer heroes they are a nation and 10:40 that's kind of pardon parcels the reason 10:42 why black panther 10:43 just doesn't go do things willy-nilly 10:45 he's a king and that's always the point 10:48 of contention with his characters that 10:49 he's a king he's not supposed to go do 10:52 all the things that he's doing 10:53 but he does them anyway sometimes and 10:56 sometimes he doesn't because he knows 10:58 when to pick 10:58 and chooses battles that's what's going 11:01 on here so part of me wonders 11:02 are they going to bring the brood into 11:04 the fold and use them 11:06 in some sort of way and maybe that will 11:08 come back to bite them in the ass in the 11:09 long run because 11:10 you know you got to tell a story i don't 11:12 know but i'm very curious to see where 11:14 it goes 11:16 now before we get out of here are
