This show is great. If you want more Superman content to hold you over between new episodes I recommend the animated movies Allstar Superman, and Superman vs The Elite. The later really made me super frustrated with the whole “let’s make Superman dark and edgy” trope because it’s written to be a direct refutation of that trope. It’s Superman vs a bunch of younger and edgier heroes who are ok with killing. Also, Superman the Animated series from the 90’s serves as a quintessential take on Superman. More traditional but very well written.
"People were bored with the character" - I am sorry, were did you get THAT from? If there WAS any Superman fatigue, I have to ask, was it because people didn't like Superman anymore, and that caused the studios to try something new, or are you putting the cart before the horse here? Jack Snyder changed Superman into this Dark and Gritty colorfilter. Becuase that was the after Batman era, and everything needed to be Grimderp and Gritty. And then, suddenly, all the Superman fans disappeared. Fancy that. All the bad and evil and broken versions of Superman appeared, and anyone who wanted to have the ACTUAL Superman on the Screen was shit out of luck. Could it not be that THIS is what drove people away? Could it not be that THIS is was people grew bored with? Could it be that THIS is why people are hyped for this new show, because it promised NOT to do that?
I’m not saying a majority of people, or really Superman fans for that matter haha! More like the studios involved kept going down this darker vision and I just think it all went out of hand. I think now the flip has switched and studios understand we don’t want an edgy Superman and they can leave all that with Batman lol
MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN IS MY FAVREAT NEW DC ANIMATED SHOW I LOVE THIS NEW SUPERMAN SHOW IVE SEEN 4 EPISODES 9F MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN SO FAR THIS SHOW REMINDS ME OF THE GREAT SAIYAMAN SAGA OF DRAGON BALL Z
Most reactions of season 1 ive watched called it "The Superman Anime" and after season two I think everyone is doing that now, though the showrunner expressed that they WISHED they had the Korean DC animation teams.
YES! I actually plan on making a follow up retrospective on it eventually! (Also sorry for the late reply we were gone for quite a bit 😬) back now though!
Why is it superman’s fault somehow that he was created before segregation was illegal! Is my grandpa in trouble because he was only five when it was illegal?
1938 was during segregation. Lol. Not pre-segregation. Also, 1938 wasn’t really that long ago if you think about it. Snow White came out the year before. :)
This is a pretty empty feeling review. You spend like 5 minutes on the introduction to this 8 minute video. And even after introduction ended it feels like you didn't talk about the show enough. You explained whats happening In the show. And then said: "If you're a superman fan watch it", "if you like anime, you'll like this", "this show is fun". And I have some questions/complains/nitpicks about these arguments (are they called arguements? Or is it points? Cinemawins? I'm gonna call them arguements). 1st "if you like superman, watch it" arguement doesn't really make much sense. If I'm a superman superfan (pun intended) I would either watch it the moment it came out, without looking up any reviews, so that arguement would be useless to me. Or I would be extremly worried that the show will be dissapointing, so this arguement also wouldn't mean much. And I doubt by "if you're a superman fan, watch it" that this show has a lot of fan service and refrences to other superman media, considering that you're not a superman fan. 2nd the "if you like anime, you'll like this" is also a pretty weird arguement. Like anime is diffrent, there is edgy anime, cute anime, funny anime, realistic anime and thats just straight up pron anime. And while hardcore weebs will probably watch anything thats even remotely simular to anime (maybe IDK. I don't really understand the weeb species), for other people you'd probably need to be a little more specific. 3 I feel like the "this show is fun" arguement is too vague. Like I'd say that My little pony friendship is magic, 12 oz mouse and Death note are all fun shows, but they are fun for diffrent reasons. MLP is fun, because it's a cute silly cartoon with musical numbers. 12 oz mouse is fun, because it's a really weird and nonsencical experience like no other cartoon has. And Death note is fun, because it's a battle to the death between 2 mega minds. So why is "my adventures with superman" fun? Is it a funny show with tons of jokes? Is it a charming romance story? Or is it a action packed story of a good guy getting stronger with the help of his friends? Be more specific. I hope I wasn't too harsh and didn't offend you. Cause I feel like I exagerated a lot of things here.
Hey man appreciate the comment! I think these are all super fair criticisms harsh or not and I really do agree with all of it, a little too vague to be a review for sure so again I get that! My only real answer is I made this channel just to rant about what’s on my mind (hence the silly name lol) so when I’m writing it’s genuinely me getting my thoughts out and the video is just visual aid to that. So I don’t know if I really set out to do anything particular with this script but I knew after watching the first episode I wanted to talk about it! I hope that makes sense! However I will take these criticisms to heart and do my best to be more mindful 🫡 thanks again for commenting!
I mean with flash it was definitely rough but Superman is a pretty PG character haha now if they did this with a character like Batman it’d be a bit different 😭🤣
