Before the massive success of the MCU and the DCEU, the superhero and comic book genre was still trying to find its footing on the big screen. Before Henry Cavill donned the red cape, Brandon Routh played the Man of Steel on the big screen… ever so briefly.
Superman Returns definitely raises some questions. Like why didn’t Superman tell Lois he was leaving? How did nobody realize that Clark and Superman left and returned on the very same day five years apart? Why did Lex hook up with an old lady, and why he is obsessed with this weird island idea of his? Does kryptonite take away Superman’s powers or not?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Superman Returns!

Timing this to Henry Cavil's departure must have been difficult, but you made it look super easy, barely an inconvenience
he died? oh no. anyway
Yes I totally enjoyed this
@@michaelwesten4624 No... he departed from the Witcher show
@@michaelwesten4624 no he is alive on his grand castle kept alive by sacrificing 1000s of psycers everyday.
Impeccable timing is tight!!
Kevin Spacey to his agent: Look, you gotta get me a movie role where it looks like I’m really into sleeping with very old women and not, you know, the complete opposite of that.
Underrated comment
"Had to shut his eyes and get in there."
These words will never leave me
I'm traumatized.
😆
I laughed hard on this one.
I just don't get what he's saying here.
I mean, Luthor is hideous and that old lady is a smokeshow for 90.
TOTALLY not fair 😞
Shutting your eyes and getting in there is TIG- Oooh my God!
The quick "hey shut up" after he notice that the plot make no sense has to be my new favourite thing 😂
Absolute hot fire
Ikr? I hope it's now just permanently immortalised in this channel's many great lines as "heyshutupso" and oft repeated.
Ok
@@papa_squat He said it's _my_ new favorite thing. Not that it's new to the channel. There is a significant difference.
Yeah, getting ALL THE WAY off his back every time was very hard, too much of an inconvenience.
I’m glad Superman was kind enough to return Pitch Meeting to us
Nice one 😂
It was super easy, barely an inconvenience
technical superman is canon to the ryan verse
No, that was Jennifer Lawrence.
Daaaaad 🙄
Ryan saw the news of Cavill announcing he would not return as Superman and IMMEDIATELY made this pitch meeting for us
He does these episodes in his sleep. And they are still way more interesting than that movie (yawns)
But Henry Cavill is back as Superman again thanks to Dwane Johnson aka Black Adam (We do see Henry back as superman)
@@samuellawrence2093 bro u are living in another dimension
@@samuellawrence2093 not anymore
It was super easy, barely an inconvenience for him
Poor Brandon Routh.
He was actually an awesome fit for the role.
The problem was the movie they put him in, not the actor himself.
“He can stalk WHOEVER HE WANTS…..romantically” god the delivery of this is just impeccable. I’ve been watching these pitch meetings for years now, and they never get old. They’re entertaining, but weirdly they’re also a source of movie news as well. I think that’s part of the watchability, you’re getting informed about the film while also getting a great laugh. You deserve all your success Ryan!
It's "Ryans", plural.
Most Superman actors are perfectly casted. It's often the script that fails them.
Meh Brandon Routh wasn’t a very good choice.
@@TGuard00014 He was a great choice if the point was to continue the Christopher Reeve Superman, which this was.
Except in the case of Nick Cage who was a bad choice AND the script failed him.
@@minbari73 OK, so he was perfect to continue a bad, boring iteration of superman that continued to give comic book movies a bad name...
@@doughbafett
Yeah... We don't talk about that...
I like it when Pitch Meeting covers older movies like this and not just new releases
One of my biggest complaints with TH-cam channels that cover movies, games, etc. is when they act like nothing existed prior to about 2010.
It makes sense for them to cover new things but sometimes it's nice to go back and look at how the old stuff didn't make sense either.
@thefirefox I wouldn't say 2010 more like 1990 because half life 1 and 2, the original doom, and game consoles like Atari are still talked about to this day
@@TheFirefox Tell that to the people doing 8 hour overviews of old RPG's and shit.
Agreed. I'd like to see him do the Saw franchise at some point since they're releasing another installment this year.
Having to use the "Hey, shut up" line twice in one pitch meeting shows how good this movie is
Brandon Routh was underrated as Superman. He was pretty good in a subpar story.
Fortunately we were later able to see his true secret super hero identity -- the Atom.
“But how can we make Kevin Spacey look like a bad guy?”
“Idk, we’ll just have him do something sexually inappropriate i guess”
“You think people will buy that?”
😂.
"Super easy, barely an inconvenience."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Metal!
I still don't. Allegations are not fact.
I know everyone loves “super easy barely an inconvenience” but my personal favorite is “that’s what we’re going with” 🤣
The off-handed "Hey, shut up"s do it for me
Mine is "so the movie can happen"
Ryan is like a dim sum of catchphrases, so everyone can pick a favorite.
All of them must be spoken in some way whilst these films are pitched. That's the scary thing.
mine is the "get all the way off my back" but I love the "that's what we're going with" too
I like to think that everyone who knows Clark is aware he is superman... they are just scared because if they ever say it he will hear it with super hearing. And if they ever write it in another room he will see it. And if they ever confront him... they may have to deal with the most powerful thing in the world having all his attention on them...
In Mark Waid's *Irredeemable*, the Plutonian's (Superman expy) coworkers discover his secret identity, and broadcast it over the radio. He has to beat the signal to the satellites and destroy them, then flies back and tells them they now know the most dangerous secret in the world, and are on every supervillain's most wanted list. Most of them commit suicide within a year.
In the show Megaman NT Warrior there is a superhero named Commander Beef, and in one episode it is revealed that all the main characters *know* his secret identity, they just keep prentending they don't to be nice to him, lol!
Maybe Clark is just going around kissing people all the time so they forget 🤷🏾♂️
@@scottthewaterwarrior lol that's funny
@@baertheblader9402 that pink kryptonite had a long lasting effect I guess lol
I can't believe I hadn't realised that Lois would have found herself inexplicably pregnant, without even her friend Clark around to help. She was pregnant and alone, with no recollection of a conception. That would have been seriously traumatising. Poor Lois!
No wonder she married that other guy, she was likely not in a good place and needed some kind of help/support.
Immaculate conception. So she's not surprised when her son has magic powers.
THANK U!! Brilliant assessment and fantastically typed!!!
Wish I’d done it first!! Can barely breathe from laughing and my acalp is charlyhorsing!
Absolutely fantastic!!
Cheers to ya!!
@@randeknight Little Jesus 2.0?
Imagine how the Virgin Mary felt…Merry Christmas! 😊
"Hey shut up" gets me every single time.
I think it's how fast he says it. Either way I like it as well.
Loved that he said it more than once this time. 🤣
The best
"Heyshutupso"
😀
I said this before, but something about it just irritates me. I think the series is funnier when they're both professional, as opposed to Screenwriter Guy being passive-aggressive and shouting everything. It feels wrong somehow.
I always loved how Superman Returns's Lex Luther is obsessed with real estate, the same as Lex Luther in the Reeves Superman. It's so...charming.
That version of Lex Luthor is basically the most bitter guy to have ever lost a Monopoly game 🏦🏘
This Superman and Lex are canonically the same as Christopher Reeve's and Gene Hackman's characters. Same universe, just obviously the dates are a little wonky.
you diseased maniac
I hear your sarcasm, love it. Real Estate is so cliché.
Reeve
5:33 - "he's not SUPER into it" - I see what you did there!
What would really blow your mind. The actress that played Lex's elderly wife, Gertrude Vanderworth, actually played Lois Lane in the "Adventures of Superman" in the 1950s, for 78 episodes. So in some twisted way, Lex wins anyway.
Gives some funny context to her saying he brought her pleasure like she never felt before lmao.
@@larion2336 There are some things super speed just isn't good for.
so in a way its the worlds longest I banged your wife joke.
@@41-Haiku Man of Steel, Woman of Tissue Paper
Well _that_ is cool!
The head nods while saying “barely an inconvenience” always get me 😂
1:01 This is exactly like Pete Holmes's sketch with Batman and Superman.
"Shut his eyes and get in there" - Ryan George
Get in there, you big furry oaf! I don't care what you smell!
Lex Luther: Bringing joy to an elderly woman in her final days. The monster.
Oh bringing joy to an elderly woman is tight!
@@goodnesswhyI want to reply with something about not tight but dry but it’s wrong, it’s too wrong
@@Vonononie I'll do it then, Baggy, dry and stinks of piss.
@@Vonononie if not tight is wrong, people have come up with a whole number of solutions to that problem. I bet it's not hard to find a suitable object in the room or at least nearby. In a pinch, one could use a hand.
Sorry for the graphic part.
It just so happened to be mother's day that same day.
I used to think it was insane that no one recognizes Clark as superman with just a pair of glasses, but then one time I wore a hat in front of people I saw everyday but had never worn a hat in front of, and no one knew who I was
I'm the exact opposite. I wear a hat everyday, if I don't, people I know don't recognize me!!
This is absolutely a thing.
Just watching Reeve in the first two movies shows why it's plausible.
Legit, I walked into the office without my glasses on once and I got double takes. I guess it's not entirely impossible, just really freaking unlikely
@@Punished_Trump how did you see the double takes?
Maybe its the version I read aling time ago. But Clarks trying to make Jimmy Olsen feel better about not seeing it sooner and that he his a good photojournalist. He tells him something to the effect of "Superman doesnt wear a mask and is moving very fast most of the time. Hes all over the globe. Everyones looking up in the sky for him. Its on record that he is the last one from his planet. That this alien doesnt need to eat or sleep. Thats hes powerd by the sun flys in space. No ones thinking about looking at their neighbour." Clark then takes a step back from the saftey rail the were leaning on on the roof of the Planet. Stands up straighter takes his glasses off along with his shirt revealing the suit and hovers a few feet above Jimmy in the air. In a different tone of voice "You see how different the two are?" Then he flys off as a siren goes off.
There was like a side by side of Clark Kent and Superman. Like Jimmys brain doung the comparison. To me it made sense. In that world youre so use to seeing Superman as a hero without a mask youre not thinking he has a secret identity. But incase someone was. Clarks voice, demeanor, posture, hair, clothes. Make such a difference.
I remember watching this with my mom when it came out. She was like, super excited to watch it, and all I could think about was "so all the action here is him lifting things, huh?" 😂😂😂😂
There was a robbery somewhere in there and he takes a bullet to the eye.
This Superman movie Pitch Meeting is a masterpiece.. How Ryan transitions from mocking the movie, too openly mocking himself seamlessly is pure platinum..
calm down
It's NOT "pure platinum" it's *TIGHT.*
Don't you know anything?
Hey, shut up
@@ddegn Pure Platinum is a topless bar in San Diego. Pure Platinum is tight, so....he's not wrong.
Oh arguing with strangers on TH-cam is Tight.
The moment he removed the glasses .... I finally realised it's ryan all the time...
I was so afraid for him 😂
He has ways to make you forget that ever happened. Best brush your teeth first though.
Wait.....what? You are saying that there are two Ryans? Like twins that got the same name? 🤔
which one of them is Ryan? The writer or the producer?
@@CoolGobyFish Yes
I remember sitting in the theatre as it began the Superman theme started playing and the incredible excitement I felt for 30 seconds.
The first plane rescue was cool too. Then the movie completely went to sh!t
Who else can't stop themselves from smiling when superman saved the plane and his theme song came on
That is a great moment
Best (and maybe only) great moment of that film.
The Space Shuttle/Jumbo jet rescue scene is HANDS-DOWN the best thing in this movie. It's often the only scene from the film that I even bother to watch.
We will all gladly sign up to see Superman being Superman.
That ABSOLUTELY CREEPY/stalker stuff was so utterly foreign to the character, that I'm sure Siegel and Schuster were spinning in their graves...
That whole plane sequence is probably the best Superman thing on film. Sadly, the movie continues for another hour thereafter.
Me, cuz this movie sucked.
Those quick hey shut up is gold lol
I saw this in the theatre when it came out, and Superman stalking Lois' family legitimately had me looking around thinking "Am I being punked? He's a stalker now?"
If he is attractive, he's not a stalker.
If he isn't, then he is.
@@schattentaenzerin At least Lois asked him what color underwear she had on before he looked.
@@schattentaenzerin Since the answer was "pink" I guess we'll never know...
It's also super creepy that he had a romantic relationship with Lois as Superman while maintaining a separate platonic friendship with her as Clark. He's essentially abusing her trust in a friend to access information she didn't choose to reveal to him as a romantic partner. He also uses his super hearing to get her address before the X-Ray vision spying scene.
@@jw-nz2vx Boyfriend/significant other* They weren't pretentious twats back then. Relationships AREN'T jobs. Also, if she doesn't know it's the same dude, she has issues.
Not even a mention of Superman getting shot IN THE EYEBALL ????
Its one of the best moments in the entire film
It's funnier to mention the bad stuff.
This is a pitch meeting skit. The eyeball shot is a cool scene, but very insignificant to the whole plot. The video is about the movie as a whole, not minor details.
@@SonlangSiek you mean except minor details that are nitpick worthy or self-contradictory...
That was pretty amazing. I was surprised that it was left out as well.
@@SonlangSiek We all love pitch meetings, but you don't have to defend it this hard bro
Ray Palmer did a good job cosplaying as Superman he even hid his Atom suit so well
4:20 “Oh no! Again! Once more!”
My favorite line in this one.
Watching Pitch Meetings instead of studying for finals is tight.
Yeah yeah yeah!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s also super easy, barely an inconvenience.
Finals are tight!
"But don't you need to pass the finals to get out of school or something?"
"Hey shut up"
it was cool that brandon got to remind people he was superman in the arrowverse shows
He was a great Superman imo
Which ironically re-canonizes Superman III
Yea, real cool how one of the worst supermans was on a bad day time soap opera...
@@jacobsampsonis7782 Better than Hack Snydemouth's Man of Stool.
@Not gonna lie what the f is wrong with you?
The fact that Lois seems to have become 15-20 years younger since Superman returned seems to have escaped anyone's notice too.
I wonder if Lois will continue to de-age in the reboot.
I love how she actually _has_ continued to deage, what with the DCEU and the new cartoon.
Fun fact: Brandon Routh was the same age when he made Superman Returns, as Christopher Reeve was when he made Superman: The Movie. AAAAAND, Kate Bosworth was the same age as Margot Kidder. People age slower now, I guess.
@@playerpage They absolutely do. Extreme amounts of lead in the atmosphere is a hell of a drug and is responsible for most weirdness of the people of the 20th century.
The new Superman with his infant crush!
The one good thing about Superman Returns was the score, which was pretty much perfect
Lol I forgot about the old woman!! I always felt bad about how bad this movie was because BRANDON ROUTH was the perfect cast sweet handsome and thoughtful. He deserved more!
He did
No he wasn’t the perfect cast. He’s far too effeminate and girly looking. He made a great Ray Palmer, a mediocre Clark Kent and a terrible Superman. His acting wasn’t particularly good at that time either.
Fun Fact: The old lady was played by Noel Neil who was Lois Lane in the 1950s George Reeves Superman TV series. Noel also did a cameo in the 1978 Superman movie as Lois Lane's mother on the train in the beginning
@@PlumbPitiful
How thoughtful of them to honor her with such a.... peculiar role.
@@TGuard00014
Nah, the real issue is that the director told him to play Edward Scissorhands instead of Superman. "Look at how sad and lonely he is! He'll never be one of us!"
This was the exact opposite of a sequel to the Reeve movies.
Yeah, I'm crying. For both Brandon and Henry, both of whom were actually pretty great Supermen, each in their own way. Damn, WB is just the worst.
And they wonder why they're bleeding money.
Superman is from a time when America was strong and decent. It's hard to bring him back in the state the country is in now. Inversely, that's why Batman movies are usually good.
Preach.
Would it actually be Supermans in this case?
@@madiqismal4186 Ppl want a real Superman story it's just hard to get it out of HW where they want to make everyone dark and sarcastic.
This pitch meeting about a man in a form fitting suit is SUPER tight.
Tiago I see what you did there!
@@MADGUNSMONSTER Is he saying that the Pitch Meeting is form fitting, too?
Super tight suits are TIGHT!
"I'm gonna need you to get all the way off my back about that!"
Best way to move the plot along ever!!!
“Oh ok lemme get off of that thing”
LOL! That taking off the glasses gag was pretty well played. Cheers! 👏👏👏
Waiting for this pitch meeting longer than usual was super hard, a true inconvenience.
It's a subtle thing, but hearing the pitcher's voice whilst the producer is still on screen is a neat touch. Helps us forget we're watching a man talk to himself.
True. The editing is really good
What do you mean? There's two people.
@@rs0n seriously 🥺
@@cheddarsunchipsyes8144 I'm going to have to need you to get all the way off my back on this one :)
Man talk to himself?
What are you TALKING about!
You managed to help me realize screen writers have feelings too. Felt a little sorry for him when producer guy made the mirror comment
The quick "he shut up" always kills me 😂😂😂
Me the whole pitch meeting:😂😂
Ryan:"I hope it made you cry!"
Me: "sobbing uncontrollably"
Love when Ryan covers older movies. I’m old now and don’t catch many recent films so I dig a pitch meeting for a movie I saw back in high school.
If you saw this in high school you're barely 30 dude... that's not old, not even middle aged, in fact 30's are the peak years for a human.
@@cenciende9401 Lol close …I think I saw it my senior year in 06…I’m 34 now. Definitely not that 18 yr old kid anymore, but I hear you haha
@@TJ-fu5kr34?? 🙄😅
Time is relative, age is a perception. 😁👍
As I look at the Voctrola sitting in the corner, I think your perception of age is skewed. Go outside and do something. Screens age is all.
I'm gonna just say though: the moment when the bullet is crushed against Superman's eye and falls away, causing no damage....that was awesome.
I do wonder how he knew his eyes were as invulnerable as his skin.
Never stop churning these out Ryan. You just aren't allowed to stop
He can stop if he wants.
@@Perri-Winkle you think I'm seriously telling him he can't. God you're a joke
@@drockjr That was rude, but no I don't think that. I don't know what Ryan thinks though. I've seen plenty of youtubers make videos about how they needed to stop but they were afraid of letting down their audience. I can't help but think that comments like yours contribute to that, however minor that contribution may be.
@@Perri-Winkle nor do yours. It was called a joke. Calm down karen

I second Dune!!
Dune (1984): "Weird red headed guys in leather are tight!"
@@Grift76600 now I want both Dune movies pitch meeting, oh and put the miniseries too! Because don’t spending money in special effects is tight!!
yes for both!!!
While I thought Brandon Routh did a break-out job as Clark/Superman (he had Christopher Reeve down cold), the one thing I had trouble with was the fact that Routh was only 26 when this came out. Therefore, he did all the things of the last two minutes by the time he was 21 before disappearing for five years? Perhaps Kryptonians age differently than us Earth mortals.
Honestly Lex getting no punishment for his prior deeds is the most realistic part of the film
It’s where all his prior money went. Paying people off and hiring a team of lawyers
I guess they needed Superman to testify because everyone else who was going to testify coincidentally died.
The "I hope it made you cry" part really got a tear in my eye
@@notgonnalie. I just left a comment. Go reply.
Hey, Shut Up! 😂
Waiting extra time for this excellent pitch meeting almost made me cry.
"i'm gonna put some tears in your eye." - Bully Maguire
I love it when he says “Hey, shut up!” 😅
So, Henry Cavil is coming back ... "Hey, shut up"
When he took off the glasses he had me spilling my drink 😂
This episode made me feel things I’ve never felt before 😂
CRY! CRY MORE!
🤨🤔📸
These are weird comments. I was joking on how the old woman told Kevin spacey that he made her feel like that.. in the episode I just watched..but the way Ryan said it made me laugh. So 🙃
Bots maybe? 🤔
@@Skywalker21O The first comment is not weird if you watched the whole video through. Specifically the bit at 05:58.
@@danielrodrigues4903 there was only a few seconds left! 😅 yea I missed that
I wouldn't exactly say comic book movies were not popular in 2006. In addition to this movie there was also the Raimi Spiderman films, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four etc. all of which were very successful at the box office
The "solar recharge" scene is straight out of the comics, and was nice to see. (Not sure if fun fact or not, but it's a fact.)
Had to shut his eyes and...get in there! 😂 best line yet
Having Superman's son and having her husband believe that it's his own son is tight!
But she wasn't even with Richard when she became pregnant, let alone married to him. With those timings, surely he knew he wasn't the father all along?
That Superman is a real piece of work.
@@StuartQuinn Maybe Richard was really dumb! 😬
Maybe half kyrptonian kids take longer to gestate?
I mean, Lex showed that old woman love and passion in her twilight years. It was truly romantic.
Imagine if it was a teenage boy. Kevin Spacey would have really shown love in that scene.
Ah yes. The Twilight years with Bella, Edward, and Jacob.
I’m still on Team Edward.
Yeah, Lex loving an elderly woman while Superman is a deadbeat dad stalking his baby's momma.
Producer Guy: MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! MONEY! MONEY!
It's not like she'll be using that money when she's dead, and he did make her happy to the end.
My response to:
"What about Superman 3 and 4?"
"NO!!!"
was to laugh so hard that tears started rolling.
That scene where Lex takes the dead woman's hand to finish the signature lives rent free in my brain. So deliciously evil XDD
"Had to shut his eyes and get in there"
Not quite winter yet, still got a chill down my spine with the visuals 😬
that part made me laugh very loudly.
I know we are called 'to those who wait' but 2 weeks is too long between pitch meetings!
"And he's gonna stop a bullet with his eyeball"
"Ohhh, thats tight"
Great timing with this.
Also please do Violent Night
Watching Pitch Meeting after a long day of work to start the weekend is tight!
Yes sir it is
Oh man, this one made me feel like you first thought about the glasses joke and then decided to watch the movie and build the rest of the pitch meeting around it lo/ because the delivery is sublime
The producer really went through a rollercoaster of emotions on this one. He almost came to his senses.
Almost.
Between this and the Pinocchio remake pitch, Producer Guy is slowly morphing into the sane one of the duo
Still my favourite Superman film.
I worked with Brandon on legends of tomorrow for 3 years. One of the nicest actors I’ve worked with, high fives me everyday on set, took the time to learn everyone’s names, he’s very much a real life Clark Kent. Sad but funny story, a camera operator I was working with turns to Brandon one day and says “congrats on your new Superman movie, you must be so busy right now”. Routh just looks at him, slightly insulted, “they recast the role”. The camera operator was completely befuddled and I just shook my head.
First season of legends was 3 years after man of steel?
@@chriswp5087 I think longer? I worked with him for three years on legends.
@@honer777 that's why I'm asking lol, you said the camera operator congratulated Brandon for a new superman movie atleast 3 years after said superman movie came out
@@chriswp5087 he congratulated him on the Henry cavil Superman movie that came out in season 1 of legends.
@@honer777 man of steel is the only Henry Cavill superman and came out three years before legends season 1
"Are there any action this movie?"
To be fair, the rooftop tanking of a bullet with his eyeball was pretty sick XD
There's actually lots of action in this movie; more than in the original Donner film. People just want to see comic-book style punching, which didn't happen in the 1978 movie either.
@@barfo281 Yeah but this came out after Spider-Man and Blade... people had different expectations of "comic book" movies (and movies in general) compared to 1978
Great work Thank you
3:37 I thought you were gonna say "sending desperate faxes while playing piano is tight".
Superman Returns had some good moments. The airplane scene was good and the bullet to the eye was well done.
@Paul - It's still an overall better movie than Man of Stool and Batfleck v. Stuporman.
@@barfo281 yeah if you like being bored out of your skull, lmfao man of steel had sick fight scenes, this movie had pedo spacey and sa superman that doesnt throw one damn punch lmfao garbage, idek who this film was made for, certainly not fans of ACTION comics
@@barfo281 Oh God no! Superman Returns was putrid. Man of Steel was phenomenal and BvS Ultimate Edition was great. At least their plots made sense whereas Returns plot was god awful.
@@TheFinalGate_ Man of Stool had sick fight scenes? You mean where you couldn't actually see what was happening, like a blurry messy Transformers movie? That stupid flying/punching Zod in the sky scene that looks like video game garbage?
Who would you want Superman to punch in Returns?
Christopher Reeve didn't punch anyone in 1978 Superman either.
Name a scene in Man of Stool that compares with the airplane rescue scene in Returns. You can't. Because Man of Stool is garbage.
@@barfo281 faora vs the military dudes was raw af, and yea, actually seeing the one time superman had to kill someone, was actually nutty, zod was a way more interesting villain than kevin derp spacey and also i will say batman v superman sucked, that zuckerberg/luthor shit was wack af
The "I hope it made you cry" part at the end just ended me. I didn't expect anything close to that. So fucking funny.
"He had to shut his eyes and get in there!!!" I lost it 😆 🤣 😂
I’d really like to see a pitch meeting of either the movie Elf, Christmas Vacation, or A Christmas Story. I love those movies. They’re so funny.
Brandon Routh was my favorite Superman. Fight me. Love when he saved the plane and Metropolis.
Oohh watching a pitch meeting as soon as it comes it TIGHT.
And also super easy barely an inconvenience
After watching a dozen of these videos... I LITERALLY believe this IS how pitch meetings go. 😂
This video really made me cry. I am still crying... Can hardly write this message with tears in my eyes.
This was one of the very good ones. It's so entertaing to watch how you weave together all the Superman movies up to that point.
Meh plot holes.
I’m a huge fan of these and this one was extra special because I’M FREAKING IN IT! Im the one holding the yellow envelope in the Daily Planet at 0:45!
Slicker than Cavill's CGI anti-stash, baby. 💪😎✌️
That's so cool!
Oh excellent, I bet holding that envelope was difficult. You know, hard to do?
@@wateim3951 Actually it was super easy. Barely an inconvenience.
@@wateim3951 nice setup 10/10
The part I enjoy the most in Superman Returns is the bit where Superman gets shot in the eye.
That "Ugly and weird"-"Well" is perfect editing.
Brandon Routh could thankfully play Ray Palmer in the Arrowverse and while that universe was quite botched as well, at least we got to see him as a good superhero for the long haul
He was a much much better Ray Palmer than a Superman and if they ever take Ray Palmer to the big screen Brandon should get the job.
@@TGuard00014 The only thing I liked about Returns was Brandon as Superman but his Ray Palmer was great, especially on LoT.
@@TGuard00014Yeah. Idk if James Gunn is gonna go with that but he should. Grant, Stephen, and Melissa also deserve a role imo. They were great and as far as I'm concerned, Grant and Stephen are The Flash and Green Arrow in my mind. I did like Sasha Calle's Supergirl better but that's more so because of the writing but I wouldn't mind her being on the big screen either
@@scorpiusbalthazar4327yeah, all the characters were done justice on legends imo
Please do a Twister pitch meeting. That movie is asking for it.
Pitch meeting for the first movie ever, a horse in motion
I thought the bullet in the eye scene was gonna get a mention 😂
4:28 "Solar-powered Kryptonian" sounds redundant to me.
Well, depending on what color of sun they're under anyway.
My favorite Superman movie of all time. SUPER underrated imo. Entire movie had me going "Oh wow wow wow wow
Wow"
Truly one of the movies of all time
wow
Brandon Routh is great in this role. I'm glad they brought him back, even if it was for the Modern Arrowverse.
It was great, except for Lex pleasuring a really old lady and Superman kind of stalking Lois with his x-ray vision...
I think it would have been fantastic if they'd done that same movie but with with the trip to Krypton taking the real 25 year lapse, not 5, and with Margot Kidder as Lois and their kid was an actor born in 1981...
I'm crying. Tears. Thank you.
This pitch meeting made me cry
