    Hey, heroes! I'm going to be streaming again on Twitch this weekend! On Saturday I'll be trying to finish Final Fantasy III while on Sunday it's more Yakuza Kiwami 2! www.twitch.tv/merrymarvelite
  • I think Thomas Haden Church did a great job playing the character way underrated if the script would have gave him more time on screen he would have been recognized more for the role

    "I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere" Stan lee
  • Im definitely looking forward to a Part 2 to this Sandman video..especially the more recent story illustrated by Chris Bachalo were he's losing control of his body's sand particles... also we need a video about Paste Pot Pete AKA The TRASPSTER!
  • @amanzeihedioha
    I wish his fall from heroism made more sense instead of "poof" "Evil again".
  • @sergioruiz733
    I love Sandman, the Marvel Two In One issue where he has a drink with Ben Grimm and wanting to change his life was a really nice development for his character along with being part of the Wild Pack and coming later to share a beer with the Thing when he was in the hospital, I just love the character.
  • @Uatu-the-Watcher
    Awww. I thought you were gonna include when he merged with Hydro-Man. That was an awesome story.
  • The funny thing about this video is now the popular kids are the ones with good grades and have high intelligence instead of the jocks. I think it's because of how much technology has advanced in the past 20 years I coached cross country for 7 years at a middle school so I learned it through that
  • @TopherHeYump
    Yes more sandman! I use to have comics when he was a good guy. Id love to hear about that
  • Sandman is one of my favorite Spider-Man foes, also one of my favorite Fantastic Four foes.
  • I really like the the spectacular Spider-Man version of the villain it show the villain's anger
  • I’d love a part 2. I really like Sandman, but admittedly I like the later stories with him far more than the 60’s-70’s. He has such a bizarre history with teams too.
  • @HenryCovert
    Incredible and very thorough video, sir. Ditko's character has indeed had a long and fascinating run.
  • I love the classic Ditko Spider-Man villains, and Sandman is one of my favorites. I always preferred his green shirt look over his Frightful Four Super-Villain costume. I absolutely want to see more of the Sandman. You didn't get anywhere near his turn to the good side from his later years. My suggestion for a future video is the Alpha Flight member SASQUATCH. As always, MAKE MINE THE MERRY MARVELITE!!!
  • @gordenz24
    Yes, please do a part 2 of Sandman
  • @johnpenley
