Ok, after reading the series fully for the first time, everyone always talks & praises about the page of superman comforting a suicidal girl but I feel the build up to it makes it 10x times greater. because at first, we only see a guy talking on the phone in the background while superman fight a giant robot and it comes off more like his girlfriend is leaving him & he's trying to convince her not to if anything. THEN the reveal happens and the action just hits SO much harder, I saw the page before reading the book and while it was great by itself the whole set up makes it so much more beautiful.
Absolutely. :) I couldn't agree more -- and frankly, I'm hoping some variation of this appears in Gunn's upcoming Superman movie. Morrison really dialed in an iconic moment with that entire scene.
@@EdNorthcott The fact that Gunn shared that specific scene in a post about the stories that influenced his movie gives me hope that it'll at least get a nod in some form.
I REALLY LOVE HOW THE film made lex luthor the one that make the perfect formula serum, he who hated superman so much says one of the perfects lines : a healthy womb.... and a caring family, he at that moment knew not only that the ideal of superman is created by a man with strength but by the core of the people who surround us ,
12:42 Holy cow, I didn't realize how on-the-nose Zack Snyder was verbally. And thematically just... how it all went over his head. I knew that part. But I didn't know it was so literal. He said the exact words and made them boring.
I'm somewhat bummed they didn't include the bizarro of the comic run. I know why they didn't include them, because it would ruin the flow of the film, but I just really appreciate it. not only for zibarro but because it was the issue that made me finally get bizarro. he's not necessarily made to be an evil world superman or a 1 to 1 reverse of clark, but that bizarros are meant to be mad parodies of their person, so they dont have a set logic their only meant to be living mockeries of them (plus the idea of the underverse, the bizzaro world being a living creature and these "humans" are only it's immune system/microorganisms, are just so cool and should be explored more)
I also love Superman Red & Blue very much, because the Superman stories I love most is where the focus is him personally, wether that be inner conflict or him just helping people. That is when Superman works best and when he truly embodies what he stands for
I think the most important thing from the Jimmy issue is that, because Black Kryptonite Superman is everything regular SUperman isn't he's also able to admit that he's afraid. That for all of his brave face and his cosmic serenity about his own mortality, as much as he tries to be strong and pledge to do as much good as possible with the time he has left, he doesn't want to die. Dying scares him. That's something really poignant about the book that nobody really touches on when analyzing it because they get too lost in the sauce about hopecore. Clark's life is a tragedy. He finally tells Lois the truth but she doesn't believe him because he's been lying to her for so long, so he has to just say "you got me, it was another prank" because otherwise she'll hate him. She doesn't realize the truth until he's minutes from death. Superman can't admit he's scared because Superman is never scared, everyone depends on him for everything else. He can't have the live he wants because he has to fight the neverending battle.
You should do what Serum Lake did when he got copyright claimed; overlay everything with with a picture of David Zaslav's face so everyone knows who to blame
I gladly watched this again. Small rant: videos like these--like all of yours--are so important. Comics are insane and have the capacity to so specifically display humanity. Hope, grief, loss, pride, etc. The people who say that Superman is the most borning hero because he's so strong, havent read or watched a good Superman story--and these videos detail that so eloquently that I tear up just a bit watching them. Warms the heart and gives you hope. Keep up the amazing work, man. Thanks.
I really like how the movie took a more contemplative win than the more pulpy version of the comic. A point i don't think many people remember with Superman is that his first appearances had him fighting against slum lords and a falsely accused woman being executed. I realized a while ago that this kind of set the tone for the character in that: The wish fulfillment of Superman isn't necessarily the power he has, but the fact that he doesn't have to be afraid to do the right thing.
Superman slapping Lex at the end of the comic always seemed wildly out of character, which is why Lex's realization, & Superman's refuting of Lex's ego (without needing to slap him) leading into the more explicit redemption, worked so well in the movie.
I've watched that film several times, it always felt both elegant and clunky in it's summary of the character. Appreciate the comparison to the source material and thank you for the work!
Surprisingly well done. A gem that retouched an old tired soul who had the same sense but not was well articulated you have have done........ thank you.
One thing I never see people mention about Zibarro is how, in some ways, he is the opposite of Superman. Disgusted and miserable with living among those below him, whereas Superman is the opposite, loving the humans below him, and seeking to be like them and live with them.
Ironically,(iirc) Moore said he regretted that his legacy in regards to superheroes was so cynical, particularly as he loved the innocence that fueled them. That's why he offered to take over Liefeld's "Supreme"... a Superman knock-off; and when he did, Moore basically wrote everything he had wanted to do and explore with Superman using that character. It's very Silver Age while also delving into some of Moore's favourite high-concept musings.
Welp, I’ve put it off long enough. I have a ridiculously long list of things to watch and read but tomorrow, on this magical eve where kindness and the good nature of humanity is perceived to be at its peak, I will spend my day off with the greatest hero who has ever lived and see just how much it differs from the film I still have and watched so many years ago. Well, that and one of my favorites the day after as I reread Superman for all seasons. Thank you for this vid and before anyone says it, I don’t care that this spoiled the ending for me. I had heard it long ago, forgot about it completely and look forward to the journey this book will take me on before I even consider the destination of its final page.
Perfect I just gotten this comic it’s my second first comic ever! Also I know you said you TURLY know the character of Superman/Clark to read this comic as a beginner but I still really enjoyed it i just got onto Chapter Six THANK YOU FOR INTRODUCING ME TO COMICS! 🙏
I loved Superman as a kid but as I got older I became disillusioned with the world and fell in love with Batman but I’ve come to realize that I am more like Superman than I thought no matter how bad things get and how much I can’t see a way out I always hope and look for the best in people and situations no matter how naive it may seem there is good in everyone but some people are like lex where they become fixed on this one idea or one thing and let that define their outlook on life and it slowly turns into tunnel vision
Apologies that your original post got pulled, but almost like the kryptonian 2nd life it gave a new chance for others to see it and I loved this beautiful synopses of this amazing story
Hmmmm, maybe, but only if it's an all-star superman or new frontier type film, where it's clear and obvious it meant to be in the sci-fi almost kitch era of the silver age instead of trying to be realistic or with the times (sorta like how batman tas is meant to be in the world of the 1930s gangster era)
The only reason I say no is that I've grown tired of Wes Anderson's cinematic style. It's always the same thing and while it was unique at the beginning, now it's simply gone stale for me. Again, this is simply my personal opinion.
I'm curious on your thoughts of "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow". While I love All Star Superman, the ending of Whatever Happened feels so prophetic for what he would become in the 21st century.
I much prefer the book over the adapted film. I think this book, along with superman birthright and kingdom come, are three books that encapsulate the man of tomorrow wholeheartedly.
Amazing video, really adds to the context of the comic. I am curious, how did you feel about the Red Son adaptation and their major changes? That's another favorite of mine
While a good Superman story (not my favorite but still good) I earned a newfound respect for it learning of Morrison's fathers passing, which gave it a different context.
@@uuddlrlrbas9904 one of my all time Secret Identity which is a wonderful story about what happened when an ordinary person in our world wakes up with the powers of Superman. We follow him over four issues through the stages of his life and see what it means to be Superman. It came out around the same time as Red Son, and while Red Son rode the gimmicks of Superman as a Russian dictator and the twist ending (the only two things people seem to talk about in regards to that story), Secret Identity focuses more on story and characterization. It came out twenty years ago, yet I can still read it today and feel the same swell of emotions I did when I first read it.
@@uuddlrlrbas9904 oh so many to name! The Byrne Man of Steel mini is up there. A lot of the triangle era holds a special place in my heart because they took what Byrne set up and ran with it while also making their own additions. To this day I will say Dan Jurgens is a quintessential Superman writer and artist. Superman: Secret Identity is not only a great Superman Elseworlds story but a great Superman story in general, showing what it means to be Superman and how wonderful that can be.
I get upset when you get struck but then i get to watch re worked versions and its honestly nice. Sorry about the dang strike... its never a good feeling

I believe I watched the 1st video before the copyright strike, this video feels like deja-vu, not sure how much you rewrote, or just did a new edit from the original writing and voice work. Did you feel personally attacked that your writing/editing wasn't "good enough" to be considered a "substantiality transformative" new work; and rewrite parts of the script you wanted to improve from the 1st video.

0:25 Ah yes ... "SUPERMAN AT EARTHS END" my favorite Superman story
I've watched that film several times, it always felt both elegant and clunky in it's summary of the character. Appreciate the comparison to the source material and thank you for the work!
This is one of my favorite comics, it made me fall in love with Superman as a character, and it made me fall in love with Grant Morrison as a writer.
Surprisingly well done. A gem that retouched an old tired soul who had the same sense but not was well articulated you have have done........ thank you.

A shame about the copyright strike, but heck I'm still willing to rewatch a great video on an amazing story.
To me, All-Star Superman felt like Grant Morrison's response to Alan Moore's cynical take on superheroes.
Ironically,(iirc) Moore said he regretted that his legacy in regards to superheroes was so cynical, particularly as he loved the innocence that fueled them. That's why he offered to take over Liefeld's "Supreme"... a Superman knock-off; and when he did, Moore basically wrote everything he had wanted to do and explore with Superman using that character.
