Jason Todd.. 

My favorite scene from this film is hands-down the scene with Jason and Joker at the diner. The way the music starts by giving the impression of a relaxing environment as it slowly descends into a more sinister track when Jason realizes who he is really sitting next to just masterfully fills you with emotion while at the same time knowing that only one of them was going to walk out of that door.

9:41 I feel like if Jason told the jury "I stabbed him because I found out that was The Joker," he'd be in clear.

Jason and Joker in the cafe ending is fr a masterpiece

I think one of the most iconic moments from this story is when The Joker calls Jason his son after he is reborn into a killing machine with no remorse just like him, really adds to the metaphor of him taking the mantle of Red Hood.

The shift on Joker's face in the cafe ending, after Jason tells him the big mam says hello, it's like you can see the psychotic light return to his eyes, it was well animated. Makes you think that Joker could have legit gone straight if fate hadn't made them cross paths again out of pure luck.

I know a lot of people were turned off by the multiple choice style of Death in the Family, but honestly I really think it was a wonderful homage to the original comic story where the entire outcome was decided by a fan vote. And it really kept it from just being another in a long line of pumped-out DC animated films. It makes it unique.

I love Jason's story because it's one based off of real psychology and understanding of the concept of rebirth, and how that would realistically be a trauma that only adds to the experience of death. To be killed by a psychopath only to then be revived by the daughter of a different psychopath, the combination of the experience of regaining life and conciousness after losing it violently and brutaly, would sear into a person's mind so much that if Jason was a real person, he probably commit suicide because the memory and impact of both events would be too much to bare. The fact he continued on in life shows part of his mental, and probably neurological strength in some sense.

I can't believe Nolan North turned from a cop straight to a mugger in such a short timespan. One of the character progressions ever. 😭😭😭

I really like the scene of Two-Face being the one to scold Jason. While he is mocking him, I feel like he's also self reflecting onto Jason. Jason used to be someone who used to mean something, like how Dent represented the law, now as Red Robin/Two-Face he's just another criminal. Considering he isn't in Under the Red Hood, they intentionally put Two-Face in this specifically for this purpose; It would be too random not to.

It's funny how none of this would have ever happened, if it wasn't for one super fan that got so upset over Jason Todd "replacing Dick and being so annoying as Robin" that they all but rigged the vote to ensure he would die in that comic via shenanigans.

“He took me away from you” Damn

Man. The bit of only understanding what his father was trying to teach him after he died really hit home for me. Similar thing happened to me.

The og under the red hood movie is easily the best. “You found a way to win, but everyone still looses!”

Bit hypocritical of Dent of all people to tell Jason ''you used to stand for something''

"Writing your own life alone is a futile task, but writing with someone in mind and then sharing that is how you write more." I honestly don't know why this simple quote as a theme from one of my least favorite dcau movies ever was so astounding to me. It's a simple message to keep one going, like living to help others has more weight than living for your own glory. But also writing stories isn't meant to be kept a secret, stories are meant to be told. So thank you for the most thought provoking message I've heard in a long time with just a few simple words. I'm glad you share these stories with us because it inspires more people than you realize.

4:50 Every identity he has here is something affiliated with him. Jason was originally suppose to come back as Hush, but the editors didn't like that and just made Clayface pose as him. In Countdown, Jason goes to a world were Batman killed his rouges gallery after his Jason's death and gives the main Jason the Red Robin suit, which he made for his for when he grew up or something like that.

I'm not sure if you understood correctly. Or, if I didn't. In the Dinner, before the scene, Jason talks about the strength to let go, and later calls joker friend. It was probably not an accident they met there, but it looks like Jason was still terrified when he seen he hadn't changed. I believe it was just Jason's finally appearing mental strength that was snapped when he saw that Joker was still deranged, found all the meaning of Batman's life... meaningless, a psycho trying to be better than or to save psychos. I don't think Jason went obsessed, i believe he exactly made a choice, there wasn't a "without hesitation" moment. And it is only because of that, that shame later comes. When people spend a lot of time planing something, they fight off the shame even before the act. We are ashamed of things perceived as mistakes, so deliberate choices or fast decisions. Like in Crime and Punishment. (which btw i can respect but still don't like)

I've always wanted to see what a reformed Jason would do if he met an unreformed one. What would he say? What would he do? How would he approach Batman?

We better get a Tim Drake video after this

Death in the family is such a interesting animated movie in my opinion.

"his actions as Robin are guided by unresolved pain and anger" Sounds familiar

Bruce Greenwood is one of my favorite Batman voice actors (next to the late Conroy). I would love for Greenwood to take on the mantle held by Conroy over Jason O'Mara from the DCAMU series.

the diner scene in live action would be INSANE. Such a diamond in the rough when it comes to DITF animated movie. Again, so glad you decided to cover this character. The idea of Robin feeling like he was never enough for Batman feels way more real than the other Robins who use idolize him and have a healthy worship of him. A teenager who has lost his parents and got exposed to the horrors of the world from an early age fighting as Robin, is a recipe for INTENSE psychological damage and issues.

Jason Todd, The second Robin, The Red Hood. Oh man. my favorite character of all time.

I was so pissed that hbo max didn't have the decision making version. I had just finished watching the original with my dad and we go to watch the other version and it's just the same but with more exposition.

Seeing this just piles more hype for Hi Top’s Jason film. IP thank you for giving acknowledgement to this side of the DC animated universe. I feel like everybody forgot about death in the family

phenomenal analysis as always. I really appreciate Jason Todd as a character and now get his hype cuz i used to skip over him when looking at the robins or bat family

I remember when this got added to hbo max I was excited to watch it. Then I put it on and it didn’t let me choose any paths, I was so disappointed lol. But by the sound of it I missed out on a pretty cool movie, I always thought alternate versions of Jason/Red Hood would be very interesting

This guy's narration makes me cry

I don't think Batman should be killing people but the justice system needs to put these criminals on death row

Now we wait for "Jason Todd..."

Favorite scene is Bruce death, he knew in that moment what was important.

you randomly appear in my recommended every few months and then i end up binging every video even those ive watched before! love it as always

I'd have to say the Hush ending is not only one of the most intriguing but the character design probably has the most to tell visually. And My favorite ending is probably the most important and yet the most tragic in terms of choices- The one where Bruce literally dies to save Jason (and later on his soul), The path where he not only let's The Joker live (But seemingly and then later finally buries or some might even say fully confronts and moves on from his own pain, Using the same set of beliefs and morals to as he puts it Helps save a resurrected Bruce (Thanks to Talia) and more importantly his soul. Now that ending is the probably the most depressing as we get teased with a version of Jason who's not only overcome his own darkness thanks to Bruce but has also seen the truth he desprately spent so long trying to tell his "Son" about what it truly means when taking up the task of shining down a beam of light throughout Gotham but also becoming a beacon of the hope.. But that sad irony here is that that very person who never stopped believing in Jason is now himself lost- But I think there's sort of a beauty to that as now the Bat-family strives to work as a whole to do what they do best for Bruce sake, pulling him back from his own darkness. Not to mention I heard that Zor En Ar, those last words he heard his father say before that tragic moment is the alleyway (Very Tragic to know that moment is replaying in his head), but I guess in the comics it's the name of an alternate personality Bruce creates or creates for himself in case he ever went insane- (So basically a backup plan. If he ever got AL Gulle'd, meaning that this ending is the most hopefully if it's remotely taking from the comics.

Dude, I really love your essays. So much more than surface fluff, and although "trauma" may be a funny trope of yours, it's something you analyze very well. I hope you can continue making content for years to come.

YOU NEED to be showed more on youtube. The effort you put into your videos are amazing.

I see Implicitly Pretentious, I click. Simple as.

The Tim Drake one is the superior ending.

love to see more of jason todd, my favorite robin, and my favorite character

The greatest Robin ever

Your videos are always an amazing experience

you're intros never cease to give me goosebumps

Dude I love your videos. Somehow they're so good even thought they're so short, short but effective

Lovely introspection as always. It's always interesting to listen to other's opinion and what they took from something.

Youre outros are always 10/10. This new one might be the best. I love Jason Todd, and this is just a excellent video. Thank you.

you think after batman died and Bruce Wayne went dark everyone in Gotham was like "oooooooohhhh"

This was good. Looking forward to see the more.

Again?! Let’s see what’s up

your videos are amazing i love them please continue

Thank you seriously i love these videos you are the only creator i recommend to my friends

As usual, top tier content🤘🏻

Imma be so real. You do not fucking miss. Every video I’ve seen over the past two weeks has been a banger

I love your presentation!

I appreciate this for the multiple stories it tells... what I didn't care for was how short the stories are. I also felt the constant need to tie in some of the newer stories felt, idk, cheap? Or was there just because? My favorite of these has got to be the Two-Face ending both of them. Having Jason rescued by the kid in another world he fought against was kinda poetic (I don't like the bat-kid costume either) and Two-Face in a weird way embody both Harvey and Two-Face at the same time tearing Jason down and teaching him a lesson. Kinda shows that there is hope for both of them yet

I love the tim drake ending apart from his hilarious costume

I was so close to crying... good video

"If someone can be saved, I have to try" - Batman

Man, haven't watched the interactive one. But fuck, this was extremely well done. As always, loved watching your content mate. Keep it up.

Bro I love Red Robin & Batkid as an elseworld concept.

I love your videos so much

this channel is fire af

Where's the option where Batman hands the gun to any of the literally thousands of surviving family and friends of Joker's countless murder victims over the years and tells them to do what they want? Odds are Joker's brains are splattered all over the wall where they belong a second later, and both Bruce and Jason can call it justice. They've never been about law, that's why they're vigilantes, and there is no truer justice than letting those who've suffered from a criminal's actions decide their fate. And hey, if the first choice opts to let Giggles the Mass Murderer live, they can pass the gun to the next candidate. And the next. And the next, until someone accepts the price society's law demands, finally puts him down forever and goes to serve a few years in jail *at most*.

death in the family is one of best animated flim adaptations

I’m a simple minded person. I see Jason Todd or anything to do with him, I click.

Such a fyre channel

Incredible video

I can’t lie I stay for the theme song everytime I love it

What’s the credits song? Goes hard

What a great video

I'm hella biased, the Tim Drake ending. I love it so much. FINALLY TIM IS HERE Sure it was so short, but TIM ITS TIM!

Great video.

Impressive. Very nice.

Wonderful video

I never knew there was multiple endings.

04:50 he doesn't shack up with her she leaves Damian with him but promises to be a resource to help him. I'm guessing because she's still doing jobs for her dad but wanted Damian to be a secret. Otherwise Jason couldn't twist Damian against Talia

Song at the end: Flux vortex City girl

I know ending a villains life won't take the pain away but it sure will take future pain that villain will inflict on the masses 😂 I'd do it, no hesitation

Okay, let's be real here. When Jason kills Joker in the diner, no jury in the world would convict him to prison. All he'd have to say (especially since Joker wipes away the paint to reveal his true appearance before dying, and I have no doubt there are CCTV cameras in there because you know, it's Gotham) is "I realized I was sitting next to the Joker. A man so cruel and dangerous, he's killed thousands for the sake of it. He looked at me and grinned like he's done before taking so many other lives before, and I was afraid for my own life" and any jury in Gotham would rule it as a case of self-defense.

The climax of the Under The Red Hood doesn't work if Bruce told him what really happened. That he decided enough was enough, Just like Jason thought he should have, that Superman left the scene (with good reason) knowing what Bruce had resolved to do, that he only didn't see it through because he had to bail from the crashing helicopter they were both on and that crash plus a stray bullet in the chest weren't enough to kill the Joker. That in the times they clashed since he had apparently forgot about it.

Now time for an Arkham Jason Todd video

I missed this one somehow

We need a movie of this 4:18

Does this mean we'll start getting some Young Justice vids soon?

Great video. There were only two things I hated about the short: Tim as Bat-Kid (seriously the dumbest codename ever) and that the killing Joker choice doesn’t mean anything. It would have been better if killing the Joker meant that Jason chose to kill Batman, while letting him live means he makes the opposite choice.

Killer vid

This video is so sad

Mystery song is "Garbage: The world is not enough" 15 years ago as of now

on the scene when Jason talked about Barbara getting shot by the Joker, was he implying he also sexually assaulted her? I know people have discourse about weather that was what happened in the comics

What's the song used in the credits?

I thought the last video would be the last we see of Jason Todd, thank Implicitly Pretentious it's not.

Where did you watch this? I tried HBO but it only had one path.

Do tim drake

I'm just gonna say it like that touch of 2 .'s in the title lol

Where can I watch this online as an interactive movie, or is it bluray exclusive?

I need another smallville video

👏👏👏

What is that music called? It’s really good

That batkid outfit is pretty odd & good vid

What’s the song at the end?
