@HollowGolem 3 года назад

Regarding the discussion about Superman/Clark that starts at about 11:00 I always go back to my favorite exchange from the _Lois and Clark_ show from the 90's. It got a lot of things wrong, but they got the Superman/Clark Kent thing right. When Lois is confronting Clak and saying he shouldn't be mad she loved Superman but not him, his response is: "Superman is what I can do, Clark Kent is who I am."

@abrashio 3 года назад

I loved that show

@kristian7160 10 месяцев назад

I mean that’s also not entirely true, although I love the sentiment. Because it’s been established that Clark Kent (at least at the Planet) intentionally slouches and puts on a facade to hide the Superman identity. He’s not secretly a bumbling nerd. He’s secretly Superman.

Energy being contained in a blue suit who can control energy, interface with tech, teleport and absorbed radiation... Aw yes one of those times someone had a pitch for a story about a different character then realized it would sell more if they did it with Superman instead. Super Friends' Narrator voice: "Meanwhile at the Hall of Justice Captain Atom sobs in a broom closet"

@KobytheHero 2 года назад

The beauty of Clark Kent is closely related to the thing that makes Superman special as a character. It's virtuous that a strong man would choose to appear weak, that it's more important for him to be able to be around everyone than to show them how tough he is.

@instantbadass 3 года назад

I remember hearing something that the reason DC they did this because either the Siegel or Schuster family sued again and because Superman was defined wearing the blue suit with the red cape and having whatever powers, so DC changed all those characteristics to not have to pay the family.

@KonEl17 3 года назад

@Bolsonaro_em_Haia Год назад

Around 6:00: that is in fact what the machine was meant for. Superman hoped to stimulate him brain into achieving solutions that he could not conceive previously. And it worked; it just happened to split him into two identical people as well (and to destroy the machine itself).

@vaggelisbaousis1756 3 года назад

Years ago, I was reading Morrison's Rock of Ages (still my favorite JLA story plz do it guys) and suddenly a blue Superman pops out. Really weirded me out. After so many years I never got to learn his origin. Thankfully Sal is here to educate me.

@Grievousish 3 года назад

But the real question is: When Superman turned blue did his teeth magically become even more perfect by the power of electricity? No? That would be incredibly stupid? Yeah you're right. Idk how anyone could come up with something so silly.

@Cubelarooso 3 года назад

59:03 I think it makes most sense to give all the villains with the same powers (or more importantly, the same weaknesses) their own prison. That way everything about the facility can be designed to keep them at bay, and the guards could all be trained in how to handle the inmates without having to memorize each one's intricacies.
