In fairness, Luthor probably would've won if he'd kept using the *giant kryptonite death laser on his suit's back.* Being hit by that is what weakened Doomsday enough for something to be done about him in the first place. Sure, its effects are temporary, but you won't have that problem if you keep blasting him with it until he's dead. But Luthor? Nah. His ego fucked him over. He had to go take the fight to melee range despite the obvious retardation.
@@tek512 Yeah Lex's ego has always been his biggest downfall, I frankly feel the only person in comic book history whose ego is bigger than his is Victor VonDoom and that's only because Doom's ego allows him to resist mind control.
Guntherson220 hah, interesting. If Doom got into TES universe he’d become God, because whole TES universe is dream of some super-deity and understanding that truth, but outright denying it lets person rewrite reality( otherwise person gets erased from history)
So Lex builds a suit with a giant gun on its back and fights against a close range enemy which is incredibly weak to his giant laser to the point where it can't even move while he's shooting it, and his brilliant plan was to shoot the gun once and then try to beat Doomsday up with his fists instead of just firing the laser until he dies......Flawless plan really, i don't get why it didn't work.
I think there are several possible reasons he didn't just laser Doomsday to death: 1) He wanted a piece of Doomsday for experiments. For all Lex knew, excessive use of the laser could've unintentionally burned or disintegrated all of Doomsday's tissue samples 2) The suit didn't have enough electricity to power up the suit's laser for more than one shot 3) He guessed that stabbing Doomsday to death in his brain and/or organs using some ultra sharp knife was the only way to be sure Doomsday would die. (This is an understandable hypothesis, as kinetic and heat attacks had so far proven nearly ineffective)
@@andhispalmugman6314 Les might've been concerned that his laser would've obliterated Doomsday entirely and/or left only a few charred bits of bone and flesh left. (If there were only a few pieces left, then they may've suffered cellular damage.)
Y'know the best part? From that day onward, Lex Luthor would forever be known as..... the guy who bought Superman just a LITTLE more time to save the world.
@@phamthienphuc3951 Disposable nameless henchmen don't count! They're the red shirts of the DC universe. They're expected to die. If they don't die, they didn't do it right!
makes sense; he's not a warrior, that's not where his talents lie. Still, he could have, and likely would have, killed Doomsday if 1. He shut up and did the deed. 2. If he was out for just the kill in the first place. His real motive was to win bragging rights in front of everyone, hence him wasting time giving his speech instead of just finishing Doomsday.
I think this clip shows why Lex is both an inspiring and disturbing character. He's a highly accomplished individual who represents humanity's greatest potential in terms of bravery, scientific achievement, endurance, hard work and self motivated personal achievements. Yet he nearly completely undermines himself through his own jealously, egotism, arrogance, pettiness and bloodlust
@@cristhianramirez6939 Tony isn't as arrogant and self distructive as Lex. Ironman actually learned from his mistakes and became more powerful then ever.
"This monster nearly murdered an army of the greatest heroes on the planet. Surely, if I try, nothing can go wro... OH MY GOD, IT'S ALL GOING WRONG!!! WHO COULD'VE PREDICTED THIS!?!?"
“Killed it.” Nope. Doomsday is easily one of the most durable beings in all of DC. He’s tanked the equivalent of a million nuclear explosions detonating simultaneously. Lex’s toy ray gun couldn’t even keep him down for more than a few seconds.
From Lex’s last shot at 0:28 to 0:45. The shoulder cannon couldn’t even keep Doomsday down for more than a few seconds before he started moving again. But if we’re talking feats specifically from this movie, he broke free from the binding of a power ring (one of the most powerful weapons in the universe), tanked multiple hits from Hawkman’s mace, and BROKE Diana’s sword. Lex had ZERO chance of beating a creature that’s designed to adapt to lethal blows.
@@MisterSchitt Doomsday did tank the Nth Metal Mace, but you could definitely tell he was flinching when he started to curl down smaller as Flash was zoom smashing him in the head for most of the blows.
@@MisterSchitt dumbass Jordan should have thrown him into space ! Just get him off of Earth and he's no longer a problem. Let him float through interstellar space at a hundred miles an hour forever.
Actually his intervention during this scene is what gave superman a better chance , immediately after this scene Doomsday showed pain for the first time during the movie and was breathing heavily
One word...EGO, if Lex won by remote, he worry people say he was never in danger or in a real fight. If he won and was actually in the suit he have bigger bragging rights. Plus his ego wouldn't let him fight from a distance.
For everyone saying that Lex should have just kept firing the laser, while that would be 10000 times more effective, you have to remember that Doomsday can evolve and adapts DURING the fight, not just when he’s killed. So it’s extremely possible that Doomsday would end up becoming completely immune to the Kryptonite lasers after a few minutes
Depends on the version of Doomsday, this particular one was Kryptonian, so he would actually be weakened and eventually killed by kryptonite draining his strength and abilities. Luthor really would have actually won the fight if he chose to swiftly behead doomsday and take the head as his "sample"
@adambrown6669 eh idk, it at least very obviously has wayyyy less of an effect on him than superman. If he were regular kryptonian I feel like the lasers would absolutely cripple him more than just knocking him on his ass for a minute like shown.
@amadiohastruck4331 I mean there's literally proof in this very clip that supports my claim. Doomsday gains laser eyes to fend off Luthor when he's knocked down. Later on in his fight with Superman, Doomsdays arms spikes start growing out longer to actually perpetrate through superman skin rather than just continue attempting to beat him to death. Even if it's in minor ways, Doomsday usually does change how he fights to better adapt to his situations if they're getting too difficult to just pummel through.
Meanwhile, in an alternate universe: Reporter: "Lex, how did you beat Doomsday?" Lex: "I shot him at point-blank range with my laser after I knocked him unconscious with the first blast. Admittedly, I almost started monologuing, but then I used my mega-brain to realize that that wasn't a very good idea in the middle of a fight."
*Superman arrives* S: No, am I too late..?? L: No. *pulls up the severed head of Doomsday* You’re just in time. No need to thank me, Superman. I’d much rather hear it from _my_ people.
Perhaps Lex could have defeated Doomsday had he not underestimated it. He seemed to have the upper hand in the fight for a little while, but he failed to land a finishing blow while it was down. He is smart, but he lets his ego cloud his better judgment.
The problem with Lex he was, to busy bragging and, you know what happens to people brag too much, they can't get the job done, because they never shut up.
Sheesh Lex's greatest weakness will always be his damn pride/ego. If he could properly control it then he truly would be the most dangerous being in the universe.
Lex hates feeling indebted to someone, especially Superman since he knows he won't be able to pay him back some how because Lex has nothing to offer him. He would instead have to show gratitude and he hates Superman too much to show that.
Can we appreciate the fact that Batman and Lex Luthor faced monsters like this on a daily basis? Both of them are just normal humans without powers, but are crazy or brave enough to face things like this.
It's called the _protagonist throw._ Extras are squashed but important characters who are not supposed to die are thrown to create the illusion that there is a fight going on.
I like how when superman saves him, then charges into doomsday, lex still cries no, not because superman would die, but because he knows superman is going to stop doomsday instead of him
Yea in these he is just bratty inventor, I think his version in Superman: Red Son is much better, there he really fights with his wits and intelligence.
I mean. In dceased Lex said: "I am the most on the planet and... Wait. Batman is dead, yes?" "Yes" "Right. Then i am the most intelligent person on the planet"
Man I don't think I've ever seen Lexs Narccisim played this well. He truly feels as if he's always right even with the evidence is tearing his suit apart.
Lex Luthor is such an interesting psychological case. He's a narcissist, but he's smart enough to actually fulfill his narcissistic worldview. However, he's suddenly confronted by someone whose simple existence refutes the idea that Lex is a man above all others. Superman has abilities and powers that Lex could never hope to match naturally. Leading Lex to do everything in his own power to elevate himself above Superman or lower Superman beneath him.
If you think about it, both Lex and Superman saved each others lives. Lex led Doomsdays attention away from an unconscious Superman. Superman saved Lex from getting tossed into a building , which easily would have killed him.
I think the thing about remote piloting the suit is that Luthor had Superman in mind when making it and if you'd attack Superman with something remote controlled he'd just sense where the transmissions were coming from, find you, and wallop you while escaping from the suit's weaponry, meaning it's safer in the suit than anywhere else if you're picking that kind of fight
"You think beating the Justice League can scare us? That happens once a week!" True....but which one of them can face the Justice League head on, beat their most powerful members damn near to death, decimate what's left, tore up Superman who has cut loose, all the while not even slowing down for a bit? That list is REALLY short.
This is the type of writing for Lex Luthor I like. He's got an ego the size of a blimp and cares more about his own interests than public safety but provided their interests align he will step up and protect earth even if it's just to prove he can succeed where superman fails. I hate when they make him look like a coward or incompetent or someone who intentionally causes mass harm. His goal in life is to prove he's better than superman not be evil or make more money.
I have to say the confidence in Luthor's voice when he calls Doomsday a "son of a b***h" while pummeling his face got me thinking he might stand a chance.
Luthors EGO itself is his greatest and perhaps the only enemy. That gun literally dismantled Doomsday for the longest time period as compared to his fights with the Justice league.
Luther: "I'm supposed to win!" Me: Now, let me get this straight. You expect to win against a giant alien creature, who just mopped the floor with Superman, the guy that usually ruins and defies all of your schemes and plans? You, win against the guy, who won against this other guy, who wins against you? this isn't rock paper scissors.
I may not agree with Lex on many things, but the idea that we would actually need to be prepared to defend ourselves WITHOUT the Justice League makes sense to me.
This whole scene reminds me of the exchange between Superman and Luthor in BvS. Superman: You've lost. Luthor: I don't know how to lose! Superman: You'll learn. From the looks of things, Lex still hasn't learned.
I was watching this out of context having not seen the movie. I thought it was a badass Lex moment even though, of course, he couldn't beat Doomsday. But my respect went up for him massively when I realized he was INSIDE THE SUIT! What a BADASS! I thought he would be controlling it remotely!
@@MustafaALI-zu8ji Lex only cares about superman. If lex was calm and used his brain as effectively as batman then he would be more dangerous then batman. Lex's ego is his major weakness.
Lex's ego would never allow that. That's why he told Lois Lane to keep the camera on him. Lex wanted to be the one who takes down Doomsday and takes the glory. To show he can succeed where Superman failed. Just shooting the alien monster from afar with rockets or a remote-controlled suit doesn't carry the same weight. Not to mention a remote signal can always be interfered with... Lex couldn't be certain Doomsday wouldn't emanate some sort of electromagnetic field. Lex likely only has that one power armour with a Kryptonite laser. If Doomsday EMPed the suit and crushed it, Lex would look like a doofus.
So it's funny cuz like theres no practical battle application (as far as I know at least) for Lex to project his face on the mech, but hell do it anyway just so everyone knows it's his. Ya know, just in case somone were to mistake it for Batmans extravagant and clearly expensive battle suit
"No! I'm suppose to win!"
Lane: Just to let you know Lex the camera is still rolling.
And "No! I'm suppose to win!" becomes a massive internet meme.

I think the thing about remote piloting the suit is that Luthor had Superman in mind when making it and if you'd attack Superman with something remote controlled he'd just sense where the transmissions were coming from, find you, and wallop you while escaping from the suit's weaponry, meaning it's safer in the suit than anywhere else if you're picking that kind of fight
"You think beating the Justice League can scare us? That happens once a week!"
True....but which one of them can face the Justice League head on, beat their most powerful members damn near to death, decimate what's left, tore up Superman who has cut loose, all the while not even slowing down for a bit? That list is REALLY short.
The joker defeated them in the comics
1:01 it was at this moment that he knew...
It was all over
He f?!&@d up
When a man under house arrest performs better than the other Justice League members except Superman
Good thing doomsday landed in the US..if he landed in Japan he'd be killed by saitama
Stfu fuckin Weeb Saitama suck
@@StanleySama95 not as much as your temper
@@StanleySama95 geez, pissy much?
Or Goku
Stanley Vml Saitama is fucking OP dude.
0:45 I died from that line. "Metropolis is and always has been under the protection of Lex Luthoooor, you son of a bitch!"
That look Clark gives Lex right before he flies away. Perfect.
This is the type of writing for Lex Luthor I like. He's got an ego the size of a blimp and cares more about his own interests than public safety but provided their interests align he will step up and protect earth even if it's just to prove he can succeed where superman fails. I hate when they make him look like a coward or incompetent or someone who intentionally causes mass harm. His goal in life is to prove he's better than superman not be evil or make more money.
If Superman wasn't so worn out, he probably would've told Lex off for being so stupid.
Lex: "Nooooooo!"
CinemaCins: "No." *ding*
That channel will take anything pretty much as a ding
I have to say the confidence in Luthor's voice when he calls Doomsday a "son of a b***h" while pummeling his face got me thinking he might stand a chance.
Lex actually had Doomsday unconscious. If he kept punching, he could’ve won.
Now this is why Superman is one of the best and selfless heroes to ever exist.
Luthors EGO itself is his greatest and perhaps the only enemy. That gun literally dismantled Doomsday for the longest time period as compared to his fights with the Justice league.
Luther: "I'm supposed to win!"
Me: Now, let me get this straight. You expect to win against a giant alien creature, who just mopped the floor with Superman, the guy that usually ruins and defies all of your schemes and plans? You, win against the guy, who won against this other guy, who wins against you? this isn't rock paper scissors.
Lex Luther:
0:38
You Picked the Wrong City
You picked the wrong house , fool
0:46
Always has been
At least Lex had the balls to try and stop Doomsday in person.
Lex gave a real fight to Doomsday unlike the Justice League. Only he came close to killing him but didn't expect his heat vision. Mad respect.
At the beginning of the film Superman says to Lex: Just because you are hating me doesn't mean they love you. Brilliant.
0:38 you picked the wrong city fool
“You son of a bitch”-Lex would be more eloquent than that.
Lex Luthor was really doing his best ‘The Monarch’ impression at the end there
0:55
This is where Lex lost his advantage. He should've kept pounding on Doomsday.
What is pounding him going to do?
Doomsday would catch his punches and crush his suit either way
@@jj-ce8bb yeah but at least it would weaken him enough for superman to land the finishing blow without having to sacrifice himself
“Micheal! Jim created Doomsday and he’s tearing apart Dunder Mifflen!”
Jim: *Smirks*
He actually stood a chance. He's the only one who made doomsday unconscious.
I may not agree with Lex on many things, but the idea that we would actually need to be prepared to defend ourselves WITHOUT the Justice League makes sense to me.
This whole scene reminds me of the exchange between Superman and Luthor in BvS.
Superman: You've lost.
Luthor: I don't know how to lose!
Superman: You'll learn.
From the looks of things, Lex still hasn't learned.
Lex Luthor really is just everything that makes humans great and shitty turned up to 11 all at once
I was watching this out of context having not seen the movie. I thought it was a badass Lex moment even though, of course, he couldn't beat Doomsday. But my respect went up for him massively when I realized he was INSIDE THE SUIT! What a BADASS! I thought he would be controlling it remotely!
To be fair, Lex was DESTROYING him before he started monologuing.
whenever Lex is fighting to protect the people.
its because he's the one who put them in danger in the first place.
Our genius, ladies and gentlemen! Rushes into fighting a creature without bothering to thoroughly check what's it capable of.
1:20 "I'm supposed to win"
Lex sounded like egoraptor: "I'm the videogame boy, i'm the one who WINS" xD
Rainn Wilson as lex luthor that's awesome he is going to be in a sequel
So Lex Luthor has a Justice Buster suit just like Batman
trex advent technically lex had his first
I’m pretty sure that’s just his standard War Suit,
Green lasers. Probably kryptonite. 10:1 odds the suit was made for Superman.
was that a Kryptonite blaster he blasted at Doomsday?
@@MustafaALI-zu8ji Lex only cares about superman. If lex was calm and used his brain as effectively as batman then he would be more dangerous then batman. Lex's ego is his major weakness.
DCEU Luthor turning Zod into Doomsday just got dethroned as the dumbest idea ever.
The animation in this movie is vastly improved. Nice.
0:50 idk why but I died here 😂
Knowing Lex, he probably prepared and recited that speech like a hundred times just for this one occasion
This luther behaves like kid
He's the old cliche version which is very funny
1:20 “I’m Lex Luthor! I’m the one who wins!!”
But instead Mr business took him down a peg
Things don't always go the way you want it to go, Lex
How did we go from this, to the animation in the injustice movie
Hey Lex, mind your language
I guess dwight had enough of the office and is using a robot to fight a monster capable of destroying worlds... Sounds about right..
Lex luthor and his power armor is no match for doomsday
Imagine how good this scene would have been if they'd brought back Clancy Brown to voice Luthor again
Yes this voice just doesn’t fit good with Luther
"I appear to have made a miscalculation regarding how this would go."
"SHOULD'VE STUCK WITH THE LASER."
Lex did well better than most of the Justice league
If Lex was as smart as he is in the comics he'd pilot the mech suit remotely
Lex's ego would never allow that. That's why he told Lois Lane to keep the camera on him. Lex wanted to be the one who takes down Doomsday and takes the glory. To show he can succeed where Superman failed. Just shooting the alien monster from afar with rockets or a remote-controlled suit doesn't carry the same weight. Not to mention a remote signal can always be interfered with... Lex couldn't be certain Doomsday wouldn't emanate some sort of electromagnetic field. Lex likely only has that one power armour with a Kryptonite laser. If Doomsday EMPed the suit and crushed it, Lex would look like a doofus.
Lex is the embodiment of the "Nooo you can't just..." meme.
You'd think Lex would be smart enough to make that mech a drone.
So it's funny cuz like theres no practical battle application (as far as I know at least) for Lex to project his face on the mech, but hell do it anyway just so everyone knows it's his. Ya know, just in case somone were to mistake it for Batmans extravagant and clearly expensive battle suit
