- The original "Powerless" pilot was shown and acclaimed at the 2016 San Diego Comic Con and later discarded by NBC, that changed the whole series plot for the other 12 episodes of the first (and only) season. The show was originally created by Ben Queen, that quit the job after creative conflicts with NBC.
"Powerless" is the first sitcom set in the DC Comics universe. Vanessa Hudgens stars as Emily Locke, who works at an insurance company who specialize in superhero-related claims. When her kindly boss is killed in - you guessed it - a superhero battle, Emily is none to happy to meet his replacement, Del Heller (Alan Tudyk). Coldhearted and exploitive, every move Del makes infuriates Emily, who begins to push back hard.

21:34 Oh my goodness… she hit him with a yellow chair with wooden legs. The ‘40s Green Lantern was weak to wood, and the ‘60s version’s weakness was anything colored yellow. Easily the best easter egg in here!
Plus if he wasn't wearing his ring at the time he'd just be a regular guy.
We still have that yellow chair lol
How in the hell was this not picked up and expanded on.. we need this show in our lives now more than ever..
It was picked up had 1 season 12 episodes it was not that great 😕
Marketing was horrible for this show! Cant believe I randomly found it on the Cw app 5 years later!
NBC dropped the ball when it came to promoting the show. IIRC, NBC executives kept moving it around the primetime schedule. Hard to get ratings for a show when very few people know about it or when it's on. Should have been on The CW as part of the Arrowverse. Might have had a better chance there.
Cool to see this finally shared!! I was the one who sent the pilot - ripped it from a promotional DVD I got on eBay a few years back. Looks to be MAYBE the same disc screened at Comic Con 2016? Shares the same box art, anyway. Hope everyone enjoys the discovery as much as I did!
Thank you so much!
If this was aired today it would have been a hit; this gives me the Good Place vibs
So I think the actors playing the twins weren’t that funny and Jackie was funnier in the actual show, but everything else worked and the actual premise of the original pilot was better than what we got. Having Emily be a more cynical character who is tired of superheroes makes her more interesting than the “new girl to the city” archtype she was in the show, her relationship with Teddy seemed more genuine and fun, and Emily’s job also would have provided a chance for writers to tell a few morally complex stories alongside the comedy though I do understand that her job in the show likely made it easier to come up with jokes. Thanks for uploading this, I really feel that Powerless was two or three years too early and might have had more success on a streaming service.
OK I love this plot way better than the one they eventually went for! Like if they went with this plot the show might not have been cancelled after one season!
I agree, maybe they couldn’t figure out how to make it work in this format but I liked it.
I have to agree. The show creator left after this pilot was made and they went in a different direction.
$10⁹°
Whites!
this version is incredible. scrapping it when it got so much acclaim was an odd decision. really prefer this version even tho i love the one they released, but this is way better to me
4:04 The Best DC Opening
Smallville Opening is More Classic
But this one is Better
Way better pilot. Totally enjoyed the originals fun vibes but this one makes me wish this was still on going and in this direction.
That pilot was perfect, this could be one of the best shows, but the aweful change in story, whoever did these changes deserve a special place in hell.
This Show is Awesome! Please bring it back!!!!
Same please lIlove Emily Locke❤
The pilot episode is better and funnier than the series we got. Nice reference to the Christopher Reeves Superman films with Marc McLure cast as Joe McNally and Super Friends references with Wendy and Martin. If only the network didn't interfere!
This was fantastic. Why can’t we get shows like this? Instead we get rings of power and secret invasion. WTF?
The Crimson Fox and Jack-o'-lantern should have their own spinoff. They could be the stragglers of the DC Universe.
a lot of global guardian characters are used, which is pretty cool
Thanks for uploading ❤
Thanks for the upload... after stumbling upon this show again... it is nice to see how things would have turned out... with a different plot.
The aired pilot had an element of "fun" to it through the laboratory element with analyzed inventions in a manner that was witty and charming. Plus, it had another character in it who was better at humor along with a different approach for the Teddy character.
I can understand why they did not go with this version of the pilot for that reason. However, some of the problems in the show like that stupid boss still exist.
06:40 - I thought the blond was going to say, "Another plus about Aquaman...he doesn't mind the smell of fish."
This is so good! Love it
This pilot is way better than the one they aired. I liked the character's personality more too.
Brilliant thanks
Ahhh esse piloto ficou tão bom
This is actually a really cool concept
The intro music is really good.
I enjoyed the original show. But would’ve loved for this to be the thing too!
I would have still watched this show had it gone in this direction but I really like the characters more in the aired series. plus ron is in it!
Glad to see this pilot made available. I posted it in on a discussion board so others could see it. It's great that the Crimson Fox interaction was longer here...but also helps me to notice that this is an early instance of Overpowerment Syndrome (which CZcamsrs comment on a lot these days). I realize they need a character who could lift a train, but in the comics, Crimson Fox is an ordinary human (actually, twins) who has fighting agility, sharp claws, and wears a pheromone that can mesmerize men (she's the CEO of a perfume company). Extremely sexy, in one "Checkmate" comic, she even exposes her breasts to a villain in order to discombobulate him so another heroine can attack. She also doesn't live in Cleveland (Charm City) or even America, but is in France, as a member of Justice League Europe. So, the name and costume are recognizable, but everything else belongs to another character. If they couldn't use Supergirl or Wonder Woman, they probably should have used a character like Maxima or Power Girl instead, or maybe even Insect Queen. Anyone who was American-based and had actual super strength of some kind.
not everything needs to be a direct translation of the comics. that's why it's called an adaptation and in DC's case, a multiverse. you're rarely going to get a 1:1 translation of everything from a comic book
@@JohnCenaIsMyDad But you can get closer, or farther away. And your adapation can be about true creativity, or about ideological agenda. For example, Geoff Johns supervises the stories of the Stargirl TV show, which are obvious adaptations of the Blue Valley stories in the comics. But they are driven by creativity and entertainment, not by agenda.
@@JohnCenaIsMyDad yeah but if you change literally all except the name at that point just make up a new character right?
Missed this show so much! Where we can binge this?
That intro was great
i really liked this show and wish it didnt end. I hope netflix or some other streaming service revives it
Wendy and Marvin are the characters Wendy White and Marvin White, and in comics, help the teen titans around Titans Tower until Marvin is killed and Wendy is paralyzed. Wendy then goes on to help Batgirl
I kind of like this more. I tried a little bit of the original show, but the tone felt too much, but this works better for me
Much better than the actual show. Would've preferred to see where this went.
i was sad the series failed. i wasnt crazy about venessa's character though. everyone else was great. alan and daniel though? c'mon son! they were outstanding.
Now I kinda wish they went with this one.but I do like the other one.
This should’ve been the plot of the show, not Del being Van Wayne
WANDA TAKE ME TO THIS OTHER UNIVERSE
This was fun
It would have been popular on television.
Yea
huh, this is so weird. interesting to see what elements they kept vs not
i def would have watched this show
You still can
I love this show
Powerless, predicting SS2 since 2017!
Nice 👍
If this was the show it would be a hit of course they'll have to change the genre - drama would work. Del Heller could be an undercover identity like Van Wayne's family ran away when the Wayne's were murdered thinking it was a plot. Emily Locke could be Lena Luthor Jr the secret daughter of Lex Luthor and could have a romance with that Riddlers Henchman character or Batman Jones. You get the idea! And the number of minor characters DC universe has is endless also there wouldn't be any problems cause no big superheroes would be used. Golden!
Bundaberg Sarsaparilla!!
This is WAAAY better than the original style, the original style was like the trickster designed the set and mr nobody wrote the scripts
Wait, Marvin and Wendy? lol Nice.
What starro
Everytime u sit down, you might as well be smoking crake 😂😂😂😂
This pilot was way better than what they aired
Honestly getting around to this saw the 1st episode and just finished this. Wtf did they not go with this? This a decent show that should’ve have been cancelled after 1 season. I think there’s a hunger out there for a well written show based on the normal people that get affected by super hero messes. The BTS of the aftermath. It can be It’s kinda like what andor has done for Star Wars, extremely grounded. This a fresh spin on superhero fatigue. Hell marvel can do this dating back to phase 1 through now.
Wow... this was a totally different idea from what the series actually ended up being. Same actors, totally different characters and situation.
❤
Oh the show that could have been... The one we got was just okay. 😢
That was actually very entertaining to me. I would've watched the crap out of this series. lol
😊
It doesn’t cause diarrhea anymore 😂😂😂
This is so much better! never heard of this show but sought it out after this and it's immeasurably worse. such a disappointment
I see why this didn't air. It makes the rest of the series obsolete, and it's horrible.
Why did they change the pilot?
Because it was to good.
Creative Differences
Read the Description there’s everything of why this Pilot was Unaired
Also, If one Series has an Unaired Pilot, it’s sure that the Unaired Pilot is WAY BETTER than the Aired Pilot (at Least in DC Shows)
I’ve Watched Smallville’s Unaired Pilot in 2021 by a Link in Reddit that doesn’t exist anymore and it was Wonderful, it looks like a Extended Cut and better did Version of The Aired Pilot
@@CentralWatchmenBrasil Ever watched the unaired pilot for The Big Bang Theory? There's a reason why WB reshot that one. The Big Bang Theory wouldn't have made it past the first season had the unaired pilot been broadcast.
Why wasn't this picked up as a series? Stupid, greedy executvies.
I might be in the minority but I don't think this version was better. The premise might be interesting but the pilot wasn't funny and this was a comedy. This show was probably doomed either way. This unaired pilot was very hyped by people who saw it but I think it was ok.
The show was doomed eather way but i think the original thirst episode kinda sucks honestly your saying facts 👍
@@christinaanderson6944 he's saying his opinion
funny is subjective tho
This is probably the best worst marketed show ever! I only found it because of TikTok and you can't stream it anywhere.
How many times do you have to remind me about other the superheroes? 🤦🏻 I know why this show failed.
No access to the Flash but ripped off his music basicl.
huh?
I don't dc comics wanted this mess.
