Man, the black kid really got the shaft on this one. No powers, turned into an unsympathetic villain, then dies and doesn't come back. Like damn Runways lol.

No One:
The Runaways in the Hulu Series: We all have something that makes us cool and unique
Alex in The Hulu Series: G U N

Funny how it's always the guy without any power who ends up being leaders.

Chase “he’s the idiot son “ yet in the show he freaking made the fistigons and is a freaking genius

[Lampent]

Woah, I grew surprisingly attached to these guys from this summary alone. Good job.

[kalebsantos]

Yeah ultron should really stop making things

[kylersmith]

I have the realization! In season 3 future chase says, “Don’t trust people named Victor.” So yep...

YES even though it's targeted more towards a younger audience, Runaways is one of my faves. The new run is great so far. Btw, on the topic of younger heroes, I'd love it if you did a Young Avengers video (sorry if you already have and i somehow missed it).

i really hope the alex in the tv show doesn't turn evil :( i mean like he looks like a nice enough guy

From what I remember, Karolina seemed more concerned about the political ramification of the marriage than the husband/wife. But granted that bit was super weird.

Wtf are comics sometimes?
Some of this stuff sounds absolutely back shit insane

I love the idea of the runaways and some of their story lines, but their art has always been something I really dislike. The new revival seems better, so I now might check that out.

Since I always have a soft spot for super powered teams made up of powerful teenagers, I have grown quite attached to The Runaways. The first story arc was great and after that it has been pretty hit or miss for me, but I still love the team themselves. Thankfully the recent series bringing the team back together by Rainbow Rowell has been quite solid both with characters and story. I think that a lot of it has to do with the fact that she is a YA author and usually spends her time writing about teen characters. I started to slowly watch the Hulu series and so far I like it quite a bit too.

I got the Runaways because it was at my school's book fair and it reminded me of Maximum Ride for some reason. Alex's betrayal shook me. Also while reading it I was oblivious to the fact that it was a Marvel property. I didn't know much about most of Marvel's characters outside of the big ones in movies at the time. The series was a treat!

Thank you for talking about The Runaways and giving Xavin a brief mention! They are one of my favorite characters of all time!!!

I'd been wondering about the Runaways. Cool to get a breakdown like this.

Looking forward to those videos talking about each in more depth.

My top 10 favourite runaways:
1. Nico Minoru
2. Karolina Dean
3. Chase Stein
4. Molly Hayes
5. Klara Prast
6. Xavin
7. Victor Mancha
8. Gertrude Yorkes
9. Alex Wilder
10. Leapfrog
I have a question:
Is the comic version and the novel version of the runaways in the same timeline as the series? And in the same universe?

Jeez I had no idea this was what was in store! This is impressive

7:30 That may well be the worst pun I have ever heard, 10/10.
