Fantastic Four (1978) - 02 - The Menace of Magneto (1 of 3)

[SyaoranMason17]

The real magneto won't do stupid things like that, the real magneto will kill them with no mercy.

[hondaciviccoupe10]

Is Magneto concerned for the environment? It looks like he's driving a Prius or something?

[Korendian199]

magneto has autism

[ibeplu]

one day herbie, one day you'll beat those humans at chess.

[skeaneable]

back in the days when Magneto was semi retarded!

[kydrice]

8:06 Mr. Fantastic, I am disappoint.

[poisongambit]

This is laughable. Magneto can fly and yet he's driving a car. A car. They did some strange storylines for Saturday morning cartoons. I'm just glad that someone able to find this old cartoon, since nowadays, even something as laughable as this would be considered too violent and would be on later in the day past 10pm or be put onto dvd or onto the internet.

[DusBeforeDawn2008]

Did Stan Lee really write this garbage?

[DusBeforeDawn2008]

*has viechle that can fly* *gets stuck in traffic*

[TikiSnakes]

Herby the what now?

[fawnknudsen]

Magneto is a pimp.

[shadowsmiley]

oh god, Magneto is fucking hilarious in this.

[Redhalberd]

WHEN I GET ANGRY, THINGS BEGIN TO HAPPEN.

[Strongbad338guy]

This is amazing lmao

[COMICFILMEXPERT]

0:38 - 0:40

"FINISH HIM"

[MyB64andDnetwork]

where's johnny

[joker14black]

Really dude? He did all of that just to "prove" he should be the leader? What in the blue fuck did I just watch?

[Dragonblack90]

Hi my name is magneto I want to lead the ff so i am just gonna be an asshole with my powers and ruin the lightpost and trash peoples cars

[hybridRace92]

So umm, where's the Human Torch?

[JusIgnoreMe]

@hybridRace92 they made him up to scare kids.. Just like Morgan freeman and Micheal Jackson

[staind77]

@hybridRace92 Universal still had the film rights for the Human Torch and had planned to do a solo movie with the character. When NBC began work on the cartoon, Universal sued them to keep Torch out of it. The solo Torch movie never happened and the rights reverted back to Marvel, but by then the NBC cartoon had been cancelled.

[blkpanther11]

I HATTED THIS Cartoon FOR NOT EVEN HAVING THE HUMAN TORCH SMH

[jay55also]

@blkpanther11 From what I've remembered it had to do with some nonsense by family standards in television. They thought kids might emulate the Human Torch. It would seem that this kind of thinking could apply to any Super Hero or any kind of cartoon character. Kids jumping of of Buildings thinking they're Superman. I believe this series was produced by Ruby Spears.

[zazelby]

@jay55also It was by DePatie-Freeling (probably most well-known as the Pink Panther series animators). The reason the Torch was out had nothing to do with parent groups, that was just a rumor. As staind77 explained a few posts down, the Torch was optioned for a movie, so they couldn't use him in this series (just like more recent character "embargoes" in Justice League Unlimited).

[jay55also]

@zazelby Thanks for the clarification on the aspects of the production of this series of cartoons. Trying to remember something like this,tends to blur over time. I know for certain ,that Jack Kirby did do the breakdowns and story boards. I personally think it would have been better to include a human fourth member,maybe Wyatt Wingfoot,or Crystal of the Inhumans. Or even a human torch substitute,with similar powers,like Fire Star from the Spiderman and friends cartoon series.

[MoonlightGrace]

Favorite part of this video is that guy absolutely not giving a fuck at 6:22

[wopetgjsgvn]

Why is the doorman amazed at Magneto's powers when he works in the building of the Fantastic Four!?

[wopetgjsgvn]

"Fuel is for lesser men"

[lafucil]

You made the elevator obey you, with just a gesture, who are you, how do you do it?!?..BWHAHAHAHAHAH



[lafucil]

"Magneto will not be delayed let others waste their time in traffic jams, let them stare with amazement in their shocked and startled eyes"....BWHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH!

[norvman]

Where's the Torch?

[HappyDude2626]

@norvman The show thought kids would burn themselves to act like the torch is a role model

[norvman]

@HappyDude2626 hummm... one begs to ask... what would happen if a Kidd tried to glue rocks to his skin? or over stretch his arms and pull a arm out of socket?... not sure how one might attempt to make them selves invisible... perhaps they could only have The Invisible Girl since she seems 'safe'... LOL!

[haruyuki89]

Why does Magneto speak in the third person? O.O;

[Ghidorah1986]

Wheres the Human TOrch?

[wopetgjsgvn]

@Ghidorah1986 I looked it up and apparently this show was marketed as a kids show and network executives were scared that kids would douse themselves in gasoline and set themselves on fire LMAO!

[KINGBADASS100]

Jesus the dialogue in this shit.

[azurestormgod]

This needs to be a meme

[KINGBADASS100]

@azurestormgod

What needs to be meme? This whole episode can't be a meme. Well, I guess it can but it'd be fucking long ass meme XD.

[azurestormgod]

@KINGBADASS100 No just Magneto being high in general



[fearguis]

Boy, that was some gay-assed shit.

[MONGOOSE1ful]

The voice cast of the 1978 "FANTASTIC FOUR" cartoon series was intresting-

the narrarator was Dick Tufeld-the "LOST IN SPACE" Robot/Narrarator-along

with Mike Road and Ginny Tyler,two Hanna-Barbera veterans,,and the great

Ted Cassidy,as the voice of Ben Grimm,aka "The Thing"-Cassidy also worked

at DePatie-Freleng in 1967 as the voice of "Spy Shadow" in "SUPER PRESIDENT"

as well as the voice of "FRANKENSTEIN JR" at Hanna-Barbera in 1966.

[TheWeirdsandwich]

no human torch? D:

[HCShannon]

Magnetonobile approaching, Captain, Magnetombile, determined to be cute, sir

[kaihedgie]

I...I don't know if I can watch anymore. The retardedness...it's too much D:

[greg589]

They killed off the Human Torch for this?

[ilovsaw]

This....is unacceptable.

[McPfoot]

i GET ANGRY

[alchemist889]

If someone named Magneto wanted to see me, I'd probably say I was busy too.

[Jenga666]

Reed, why are you just standing there?

[MegaOrwell1984]

Wait a minute. Where are the X-men, What the hell is wrong with Erik (Magneto,) and will this be mentioned in X-men first class or another X-men sequel?

[SpadeHand]

Magneto gets high as fuck

[solidsnake2730]

Ah yes, me and magneto have so much in common, for example, when i ask for directions i to go to the nearest gas station in my vehicle that requires no gas, insult and frighten the gas jockey, and then proceed to wreck his place of employment all while taunting him.

[FlamingoKicker]

Even if Magneto had the ability to attract metalic objects if the object was heavier than he was wouldn't HE be pulled towards the object? I mean if he tried to affect a sign bolted into the ground his power would simply hurl him off the ground towards the sign and he'd smack his head on the sign and knock himself unconscious. Heck of a power.

[Markus1894]

His expression at 4:39 just cracks me up.

'What, I have to make an appointment?'



[NefariousBshenkd]

Watch Magneto's face at 2:00



[ShadowArchmagi]

I love how after the serviceman runs away in 2:09, but in 2:11 when magneto flies away, he's still standing next to the car. 

[LemmeLieHere]

Okay, my 'suspension of disbelief' can't cope with the concept of someone like Magneto stopping to ask for directions. I think he would find out where he's going first. :)

[Shutup9100]

Am I the only one who thinks it would be fun to drop acid with Stan Lee?

Seriously he wrote this shit while sober, Imagine what it would be like if he wrote it on LSD.

[cheeselovingtree]

Good christ, Reed. Just fucking punch him.

[Shutup9100]

Wow, Magneto was a total dick back in the day.

[Sexandtoast]

Herbie the robot? Uh, what?!

[KingLofiOne]

@Sexandtoast there were some concerns about kids lighting themselves on fire because of the human torch

[biostyle]

@Sexandtoast The Human Torch would have been a bad role-model for the children back then :-) Nowdays Magneto doesn't only strike fear into the hearts of men - he rips their hearts out!

[danramirez420]

damn...this shit is hard to watch....now i know why the 70's sucked ass

[FlamingoKicker]

Magneto sounds like a complete moron in this episode.

[lobsopdoy]

@FlamingoKicker Magneto IS a complete moron in this episode.

FTFY

[whacknasty]

This is wild...lol

[NodDisciple1]

I can't believe Stan Lee wrote this-this is embarrassing! T_T

[boonu]

HAHAHA This is funny as hell!

[FuUberFu]

This Magneto mother fucker is out of control. Can you imagine parking in a no parking zone, then destroying the sign because "it offends you?" This guy needs to have the Thing shit rocks on his forehead in a non sexual rock shitting way...or something.

[TruMorbid]

Nobody tells Magneto what to do! Besides, waging war against humans is for lesser men! Magneto's mutant brethren need no prosperity!

Only common crooks rob banks? You witless young fool! He is not a common crook! And nobody may dare contradict him! For when they do, he gets ANGRY! And when he gets angry, things begin to HAPPEN!

[benjaminthefourth]

Where's Johnny?

[subata45]

@benjaminthefourth H.E.R.B.I.E. replaced him

[rowellsnake]

you cant buy this series as far as i know..thank god

[Ryoku75]

@rowellsnake You can buy a few episodes on VHS, but who'd want them? I would, but for laughs.

[KlaxonCow]

"I am Magneto! For when I, Magneto, gets offended then I, Magneto, get angry and when Magneto gets angry, then Magneto makes things happen. For I, Magneto, am Magneto and you shall bow before Magneto. Which is I - for I am Magneto!"

"Who are you?"

*facepalm*

[sammettik]

Back then, there was no such thing as "cheesy" or "cliche".

Back then, this was all considered NORMAL.

[FemJesse]

When I get angry... THINGS BEGIN TO HAPPEN!!!

[captainbadd]

How simple it is to fill men's hearts with fear! *brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrr*

[LightbulbJack]

Wait, what was the name of the bad guy? I must have missed it if they ever mentioned his name. :P

[bandersnitch84]

Oh God, it's just so bad.

[Manfredhottlebottle]

"I can do anything! Aslong as it consists of bending metal!"

[TheAngryIntellectual]

Holy shit...

They take the coolest Marvel character ever, make him unnecessarily drive a homosexual vehicle, ask for directions (lol), dumb him down ninety IQ points, force him to speak in the third person, and add fucking gold to his helmet.

The hotel security guard acts like wearing red tights and purple shorts is normal behavior...

The Thing has GIANT lips...

The Human Torch is nowhere to be found...

"Herbie" (what the fuck?)...

[kuzuboshii]

This is honestly the best cartoon I have ever seen. Any fool can make sense, this is genius.

[slagit]

Horrible as I remember and even as a kid I thought is was bad. No Human Torch and this Herbie character replacing him. The gas station scene LOL! Magneto and his little car. Man the people working on this must of really...man...LOL

[UnwantedStudios3]

why did he even go the gas station?

[BrandonGK]

Coherent writing is for lesser men!

[flint456]

what the hell ...herbie????

what happen to human torch did he quit the team?? lol

magneto got a hooptie now, he could do anything but find directions to the baxter building smh

[TorlexBlog]

NO HUMAN TORCH.

[Grimbot2]

Sheesh, either someone pissed off Stan so he started writing poorly or he started smoking something.

[AverageAsianMe]

Herbie the robot?

[pescadoyventanas]

you'd think a super genius would have GPS.

[Ryoku75]

@pescadoyventanas "Magneto has no time for GPS! My magnetism can overcome any obstacle!"

[Phazonaddict]

What does he talk in the third person.

[zazelby]

@Phazonaddict That can be answered in four words:

"Teleplay by... Stan Lee"

[mastermonarch]

I find this show to be offensive

[slagit]

@mastermonarch So offensive it is FUNNY. Man it is so horrible...

[disneyfan81]

@mastermonarch It's not offensive. It's just stupid.
