George!!! Awesome video!! Honestly, this is a great video!! I love how you explore the major issues of recent superhero films from the DCEU and MCU. I definitely feel for films such as Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman. Those films have big and exciting ideas but they are executed very awkwardly. I even loved your pinpoint about Cavill’s Superman. Cavill’s portrayal is truly great but the writing for his Superman is a bit odd. Yes I can see why Superman is criticized but as you said he still vandalizes properties and only saves others when he wants to. Superhero movies have been a mixed bag in the 2010s but films like No Way Home and The Batman really resurrect the wonders of superhero movies. Great video and welcome back!! 🎥🎬
Thank you so much Mac, I'm always happy to see you about on the channel!
Yep I obviously agree completely. It's a shame as well because I think Henry Cavill is one of the best actors to play a Superman role. Unfortunately his character was too poorly and inconsistently written.
Yeah Superhero media is always going to be quite diverse in terms of quality, but when we get those rare gems, it reminds us of just how goof the genre can be.
Thanks again man!
Great video but really love the injection of Better Call Saul clips, the way you made it relevant to your point about BvS was fantastic lol
Thank you so much Damian!
Damn dude, you got the production value and writing of million subscriber channels. As long as you keep posting you will SURELY succeed and become more popular. Good job man, keep pumping out the amazing content fr
Thank you so much James! This really means a lot. I enjoy making videos and I'm always looking to discuss media so I don't think I'm going to stop anytime soon. But either way, I'm always happy to get such nice comments like these, it matters more to me than getting mega popular haha
I'm a massive sucker for these kinds of stories. I'm not a big action guy, so giving action scenes this kind of context, making you think about the damage being done is a great way to spice it up and make it more interesting. Not to mention the great personal stories that can be told from it, like you mentioned with Tony Stark. I hope the idea of accountability sticks with super hero films going forward, after the massive success of the MCU films.
I (obviously) absolutely agree!
I think that's why I'm so much more of a fan of something like "Daredevil" - It's so grounded and vast majority of the action scenes lead to much greater consequences/purposes for the story.
But unfortunately, with that, it's also why something like "Captain America: Civil War" isn't anywhere near as critically acclaimed by audience members and fans alike, despite it arguably being the one of the best films in the MCU. I'm just not sure if a causal viewer is as engaged with this kinds of stories.
Thank you very much for watching by the way!
DC Animation explored the subject of superhero accountability quite well. The whole Cadmus arc in Justice League is about what happens when the world starts losing trust in superheroes and how even when they're well intentioned, superheroes hold so much power that they can create fear and mistrust when they're not transparent about their actions. There's also the animated movie Gods and Monsters, which starts with a darker and edgier Justice League that see themselves as above others and wield power irresponsibly, but it turns that story on its head by having the heroes learn that cynicism is not the right way and that they need to use their power responsibly and work to create a better, more trusting world.
I haven't seen many things in the DC animated universe, so thank you for adding this.
Great video, so underrated channel!
Thank you, I appreciate that a lot - I hope to see you around on the channel in the future
Good video! You made good points on the matter.
Thank you very much dude, I appreciate that!
Was there any point in particular that connected with you the most?
Actually Superman doesn't take Zod to space. Zod is the one who takes Superman to space despite the fact that Zod is literally trying to genocide humanity and Clark is the one trying to save Humanity.
Oh really? I'll have to re-watch that scene then, but I guess that would only further my argument - thanks for pointing that out.
(ROTS fan btw?)
I just felt like man if steel was fine film but I didn’t hate it
Amazing Editing. What kind of Editing Software do you use?
@@That0therGeorge interesting
Man Of Steel was such a disaster. I can't believe that WB was okay with all that destruction.
Agreed my dude! As said in the video, BvS is nothing but a response to the criticism, it was never something they were intending to address.
I've actually seen your highlight videos before btw - appreciate you watching my video!
Lol
Very epic video!
Thank you dude!
Out of curiosity, what's your favourite superhero film?
@@That0therGeorge I haven't seen that many as I'm not an avid movie watcher but I'd have to say the first Sam Rami Spiderman film.
@@CrashTise Excellent choice! That's actually my second pick just behind "Logan".
Are you more into video games then?
@@That0therGeorge Yeah I'm much more into video games than I am into movies.
@@CrashTise What sort of games do you play?
I enjoyed the Jim Norton appearance.
Yeah It was great!
Surprised you didn’t make a video on the recent Batman movie by the way I thought you took inspiration by I hate everything video of discussing superhero films but not talking about when they came out
👏🏾👏🏾everything in this😂😂
Thanks haha
You should see some superhero anime like tiger and bunny ,and my hero academia which I enjoy which I think you might enjoy in my opinion .I’m pretty sure you know one punch man but my hero academia is my favorite but interesting video the othergeorge
I dont know why they did Cavill's Superman like that. Snyder was a mistake.
Cavill was the PERFECT choice for the character and it's a shame how poorly written it was.
I do want to give Snyder some benefit of the doubt, but unfortunately none of his films have done it for me.
Nothing new
