@NightHawk92 i think the more dark and somber attitude of Snyder's Superman just didn't mesh well with what i like to see from the character, but to each their own.
>using the Reagan scene from All-Star Superman >using All-Star Superman IN GENERAL >using Reagan AGAIN dude that's cheating...you know my heart can't take these feels.
Dude, you almost moved me to tears. Out of ANY UA-camr who makes these kinds of videos, you wrote something that I not only want to see adapted to the big screen, but NEED to see. I have not read many Superman stories, but one thing is for certain - it doesn’t matter about the expanded universe, or have dumb CGI monster fights to stave off boredom of the audience. I think the perfect metaphor for a Superman movie that you encapsulated is not being like everyone else, or in this case, to be like every other movie. The main point is to be a man - or a movie - that gives even just ONE person hope, that in turn, can give more people hope. Bravo, Troyo. Bravo. 👏
The MCU is just a bunch of dick waving, seeing who can kill the biggest baddest villain the hardest. The stories that REALLY WORK are the ones built on THEMES like this video.
You said it at the beginning of the video: "if Joker is the movie we deserve, this is the movie we need". This hypothetical Clark movie would be what I wished Man of Steel was, and what many superhero stories seem to be avoiding nowadays: an inspiring tale made with care, love and a heartwarming feel that gives the audience a message of pure hope and kindness. And it might possibly be the most Superman thing ever made. Also, yeah, even just being a conceptual script pitch, I almost cried at the end. If I saw this at the cinema, rivers would flow through my cheeks.
Hey everyone! Thanks so much for watching. If you've been following my social media, you'll know that I've been working on this video for months. The character of Superman is really important to me, and I wanted to ensure the video was quality, so I apologize that this took forever, I just knew if I did a Superman video I was going to have to do it RIGHT. I had to cut down a LOT of content from this video, probably about 10 minutes worth, so if you want to see the stuff that was cut you can head over to my Patreon. I have extended audio, behind the scenes updates, and scripts as well as all videos 2-3 days early. So if you're interested in that, be sure to check that out with the link in the description! But again, thank you for watching. If you liked this, I would love if you could hit the like button and subscribe if you haven't already. I also don't normally like asking for this, but if you could share this with your friends and as many people as possible that would be greatly appreciated!
You really nailed what I love about Superman, I actually was tearing up listening to it. Your videos are really excellent and you really understand what makes super heroes so important to people. Thanks for this awesome little peak at a movie that the world could definitely use right now
You do have alot of good ideas but I dislike about 35% of the story you have developed. You won't please everyone. I am a massive Superman fan and I can see you have love for the character as well. Good job I must say. One main problem I see is the satelite. Satellites do not stay stationary. They orbit the Earth. So a continuous beam down to a city is impossible. Also when it comes to Clark being Jewish. I'm not saying anything is wrong with that but if you want him to relate to everyone, make religion and personal beliefs like that up in the air for that character. I have other complaints as well but as a whole though I think you did a good job.
I never thought of casting Tom Hanks as Superman, but now that you implanted that idea in my mind I can’t stop geeking out about it-he’s perfect! Hell! If he doesn’t ever get to play Superman, I can really see him fitting the role of Pa Kent. Hanks as Clark/Superman? Don’t care if he’s too old, just make it happen!
I love how understated this is. I never pictured Tom Hanks as Superman either but, seeing that photoshop, he really just kinda slots right in, doesn’t he? He gives a dignity to the costume. This feels like the kind of movie that would impact the character forever, where every Superman interpretation afterwards would have it be a given that he can age. There’s just something so ‘platonic ideal’ about this interpretation, like it was always meant to be this way.
I used a Christopher Reeve quote for my senior quote. "I believe a hero is an ordinary individual who finds the strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming odds." Due to several things I went through in high school, that quote was a source of inspiration for me.
Troyoboyo17 I DONT CRY... LIKE EVER.. BUT THIS..... THIS IS TOO TOUCHING AND BEAUTIFUL TO NOT SHED A TEAR TO, THANK YOU FOR Reminding us That we All have the Ability to be Like Superman.
I also had a concept in mind for a Superman movie (it's part of a pitch I had for a reboot version of the DC movies): The movie would open in Smallville, where a young Lex Luthor would be watching the stars, when he see something falling from the sky. While Lex picks the truck from his drunk dad, the Kents would found the spaceship, with a baby inside. The couple decides to adopt the child and so they take him away, along side the spaceship. When Luthor arrives he only founds a strange green rock. [Roll the title : Superman The Man of Tommorrow] After that, the movie opens 14 years after, already introducing Clark as a shy, but nice and kind hearted boy who would start to develop his powers. After causes a accident in his school, Clark talk to his parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, and they would take hum to the garage, where they show the spaceship where they found him years ago. When Clark touch the rocket he activate a holografic message left by Jor-El, revealing that Clark is his son Kal-El from the planet Kripton. Once the message is over, Clark run from home, scared with the discovery. Jonathan goes after him . Clark would say he doesn't want to be a freak and just wants to be Jonathan's son, and Jonathan hugs him and replies: “You are my son”. In the following day, Clark uses his powers to save his friends from a storm, which inspires him to decide to use his powers to help people. The movie jumps 7 years ahead, and Clark (Matt Bomer) would move to Metropolis. Once there he would see the big city, with modern buildings, but his super senses and interactions with the town people allow him to see the dark truth of Metropolis: the whole city is victim of crime and corruption, the peole are afraid and distrust others, thinking that is all a plan to steal money from them; and most of the city is exploid by Lexcorp. Clark starts his job as reporter on the Daily Planet, the only newspaper in the city that stands up against Lexcorp corruption. This is where he first meets his supporting cast: Jimmy Olsen (Asa Butterfield), Cat Grant, Steve Lombard, Perry White (Danny Devito) and Lois Lane (Morena Baccarin). When a spacecraft suffers a accident and stars to falling, right in collision to Metropolis, Clark, using a costume that his mother made for him (which she would say was made based on the uniforms of the JSA, heroes that she heard about when she was little) stops the collision, revealing his powers to the public, surprise with the arrival of this mysterious hero. In the next day Clark and Lois start to interview all the citzens, asking their opnion about this “Superman”. Some praise him and call him a savior while others distrust him. One of the persons who is totaly against Superman is Lex Luthor (Michael Rosebaum), who is reveal to be Lexcorp CEO. During the interview Lois would make some questions that imply that Luthor had something to do with the spacecraft incident, since if the spacecraft had crashed in Metropolis, the government would cancel their contract with the rival company and sign with Lexcorp to build a better one, plus Lexcorp would also gain mutiple contracts to fix the damage caused by the crashed. Luthor, of course, dismiss them, but Clark agree with Lois and is certain that Luthor will cause much problem for his alter ego. The following days, Luthor start to turn people against Superman. To face off against this, Superman would have a interview with Lois Lane, asking her to give his message to the people of Metropolis, that he is not here to harm anyone he just wants to help. This proves tô be a great move and people start to approve the hero's help. However Luthor will not accept this. This is when something comes to his mind: what if Superman is the mysterious alien who though he saw falling in Smallville years ago? To test his theory Luthor manipulate a event where he test the kriptonite on Superman, after seen the effects the rock has on the hero (in which Superman fails to catch some thiefs) Luthor contacts the USA army, covincing them that Superman is a alien invader. He also gives one of the soldiers, the war hero sergent John Corben a special armor to fight the Man of steel. Luthor reveals Superman is alien to the media and, the army set up a trap for the hero. Superman is able to escape but Corben tries to attack him, causing his armor to overload and explode. Superman is framed by Corben aciddent, with the army invading the Daily Planet, shoutting down the newspaper, and Luthor even convive them to spread drones all over the city to capture Superman if he shows up or tries to fly. Things are so bad that Clark has a dialogue with his parents deciding what he should do. While that happen, something goes wrong with Luthor's drones, and It start to attack civilians. Seeing the people in peril, Clark opens his shirt and throw off the glasses, becoming Superman once again to save them. Superman is able to destroy the drones but this is one he comes face to face with Luthor's secret weapon: a revived John Corben, nos transformed in the cyborg Metallo. Metallo is so obsess in defeating Superman that he doesn't care who's in his way, putting civilians lifes in danger. Metallo start to saying that once he kills Super he will be the world's greatest hero, but Superman say his wrong, that a hero is someone who cares for life and does his best to protect It, everthing that Metallo isn't. After a big showdown, Superman defeats Metallo, however he still has to deal with Luthor and the army, who still sees him as threat. The public comes to Superman's aid claiming that he is his savior. This is the momen lt where Superman had enought. He stand between the two sides, alongside Lois and the people who helped during the fight, and said that he's not a threat nor a savior, he's just someone trying to help people and that's all he wants from the people: to stop been dependent of someone and instead to help each other. The people are inspired by Superman's words and the army stop chasing him. At night, Luthor meets with Superman and say this is not over, that the city belongs to him not to a alien, but Superman denies his argument, saying that Metropolis belongs to everyone, and he's not gonna let him ruin this In the next day, Clark meets with Lois on the Daily Planet rooftop, where he reveals his secret identity, only to Lois reveals that she already knew, but decide to respect his secret, becoming hi ally and maybe something more (giving hints of their future romance). The movie ends with Jimmy interrupting the two, telling about a crime that is happening in the city. Lois tells Clark that this “looks like a job for Superman” and goes to take the Uber, while Clark transform into Superman and flies, passing to all the people of Metropolis, all helping each other just like Superman does for all of them.
Great story, but you said the movie would jump 14 years after Clark’s ship lands, which would make him 14 years old, then two years later, so he would be 16 and be played by a 42 year old Matt Bomer??
@@davidhusari2739 okay. I miscalculated that part. I think the parts on Smallville should feature a 14 years old Clark and after that the movie would jump 10 years, when Clark moves to Metropolis. Also, this period between Clark days in Smallville and his arrival in Metropolis, could work to introduce the Legion of Super Heroes in a sequel.
Pretty cool,but one thing. I think Clark shouldn't be as suprised by his powers,I mean its not like he can turn his super strenght or speed on and off,he should've always known there is something different about him,even using his powers to a small extent. The message from the pod would of course shock him,but I don't think he'd be as scared as he'd just be confused
@@ancientaxolotl1654 It would be something like that. For me, the whole part in Smallville would be all about show the humanity in Superman, with starting confused with his powers and the Discovery about his birth, but learning to accept them and find his path as a hero (that way showcasing that wasn't Jor El message that made Clark into a hero, but his bond with his parents and friends)
Additional: Lois is freaking out when Clark says he’s going to fly the satellite to the sun. Clark: I have to do this Lois, I’m Superman and besides *looks back at the crowd of civilians* I’ll still be here.
So let me recap what you did that made this storytelling of yours so great: >Using the Reagan scene from the All-Star Superman comic. >Using All-Star Superman as the MAIN Inspiration >Using Reagan AGAIN Was your goal to warmed our hearts man? Because you just succeeded! It's like Kingdom Come and All-Star Superman rolled into one. 😁👏
I loved this so much... I so badly want this to be a movie so I can cry like a big baby when the finale comes up. I've recently started high school and I've been stressed about it for so long. Tests, homework, and the negative people in the school. Seeing this new idea of Superman to be someone to help one person and then they help others is something I love so much that I couldn't help but shed a few tears. Thank you for this prewrite, and thank you for making engaging videos.
The ideas you have are 99% of the time extremely awesome and you know the characters you talk about really well,especially Dc characters(and Spider-Man) so I think this is probably gonna be one of your greatest vids EDIT: Yeah,now this is what I call CONTENT
I was already down with it from the start, but Jewish Clark gave me so many feelings..also how dare you give me Smallville feelings You really understand Clark as a character. Lots of people don't understand him as a character, how he chooses to be kind and use his powers to help others. They see a guy with superpowers and think about how they'd use them for themselves, but that just shows that being kind and selfless takes guts. "Please, call me Clark" is a good way to end this. Because, he is Clark.
@@troyoboyo17 hoping superman gets written in good old heroic fashion one day. Doomsday clock has me tear up when they showed a Christopher Reeves styled superman guiding manhattan to become a savior himself
My personal fan casting for this would be Clark- Tom Hanks Lex- Bruce Willis Lois- Lynda Carter Jimmy- Taron Egerton or Ansel Elgort Regan- Camren Bicondova or Tegan Croft
I know how weird and dumb this is gonna sound but could do like a prewrite for daredevil season 4? I know season 4 is not gonna happen but maybe you could like write it and pretend we’re in a world where it wasn’t cancelled
I know this comment will likely get buried under all the others but I really wanted to say this, and I desperately hope you read it. You have written something beautiful. You, like no one else I've seen talk about this character, understand superman. For the first time in a long time you made me cry over a piece of media, you gave me that feeling of hope that I thought I lost completely. When I'm feeling down and need some hope, need to feel everything will be alright, when I need superman I come here. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you I cant properly express exactly how much this video has come to mean to me.
damn bro why did i cry 😭😭😭 on that note, been watching your superman videos and i am having a good time! been a while since i enjoyed the comics and it made me glad it was superman who brought me back :) thank you
God damn, thanks for this. I'm going through a rough patch myself rn, and even if it's not Superman himself saying these words, just hearing _someone_ say them already means more than you know. I've been crying a lot, lately, but this is one of the few things I've experienced recently that made me cry in a good way.
I didn't expect that opening, man!! You caught me off guard with that vintage Chris Reeves interview footage. And the way you laid the Hanz Zimmer score over it. Tears in my eyes, bro!! 😭😹
That last part especially that last part of the Olsen interview.....I ain’t crying it’s just my allergies. It’s a high pollen count in January.... not crying.... it’s just dust
That finale had me moved almost to tears, Superman is just that, a MAN. Despite his abilities he is no more flawed and human than any of us, he can't save everyone, he can't be Superman 24/7 but that doesn't make anything less than a hero. Instead of making him weak, humanize him, make him the everyman because outside of the tights, that's what he is. Superman is all of us.
I had a similar idea. My idea is a 5 or 6 long series with each episode an hour long. It would tell the story of Superman in the future. He ages slow enough for everyone he knew to be dead, and have children, grandchildren even. Prolonged exposure to Kryptonite has mutated his body, giving him months, if not weeks left to live. He decides to do as much good as possible, inclouding settling a score, making amends with Lex Luthor Jr, adopted son of Clark's enemy. The two become friends and Clark has done what he needed to do. He allows an interview with Lana Lane, niece of Lois. He explains his backstory and his condition, asking for the interview to be public after he's gone. He decides to lead a new legacy by training new heroes. But they are more violent and turn away from his ideals. He talks some down, but fails to convince 3 of them to stop being murderous vigilantes. He defeats them, but one dies, leading to a funeral Superman speaks at. The whole time, Lex Jr reveals to be a new version of Metallo, upgraded and determined to ruin Superman, still believing Lex's views. After failing to beat Superman, who has the help of all his friends, Metallo activates a Kryptonite bomb inside him, that will render Earth inhavitable for Kryptonions, including Krypto, who Lana now owns and Kara, whose in a coma due to new Metallo. Clark realises he has a few days left to live, and chooses to fly Metallo into space. The explosion destroys Metallo and leaves Superman basically dead and floating in space, looking at a world he is satisfied is a safe place. He dies, knowing his legacy lives on in every living being on Earth who does good, because in the end, hope is all you need to be Superman.
This was POWERFUL. Indeed, the type of Superman story we NEED! I was skeptical at first, especially with the Tom Hanks choice, but by the end of the video I was completely sold. It all fits together beautifully. Bravo.
"So let's talk about the opposite of a dog... Lex Luthor." That one got me hard lol But dude wow, I'm literally crying with that climax and ending. That was amazing. Keep giving your best, I really hope one day I can see your name among the big shots and say I was watching your content since... well I was about to say "beginning", but it's more about "rewrites spider-man homecoming appeared on the recommended", but not as climatic huh
Needing a hero now more than ever, I was scrolling through my feed and came across this video again. And the bit at the end made me cry, because it applies so well to my life. Thank you, Fanboy. And, of course, thank you, Superman.
Wow. Well done. I would watch your version a hundred times. Your version is what we need. Your version also would motivate people to help others. If everyone had a little heart and care for others, this world would be a better and safer place!
@@troyoboyo17 Thank you. Your videos this past week have helped me a lot and finally convinced me to watch Spectacular Spiderman who is also helping. Again thank you, take care and keep it up with the awesome content
I don’t know how to say this but I’ll give it a go...this is one of the best movie pitches I’ve ever heard. People always ask me why I find Superman so compelling this pitch explains my reasons perfectly. I guess I’m kind of going through a lot at the moment, and when you started saying Superman’s lines of dialogue about not needing X-ray vision to know when someone is sad - that was beautiful. This left me in tears. Thank you so much for crafting such a beautiful story. WB has to pick this up!
I bawled both times I listened to this. Hearing Christopher Reeve explain why Superman is relevant made my day but you going to the moment of the people stepping up when Superman can’t save everything made me lose it. That’s why Superman matters. Hope. Well done.
Is there any way to like a video twice? Honestly, this video hit harder WAAAYYYYY more than I expected it to. I seen this video when it first came out and summed up it as "Another good Superman video." to group in with all the others. Now cut to today, Tuesday, June 23, 2020. I'm sitting in my room feeling like an empty husk due to both boredom and a sense of overall emptyness. I decide to go and check out a video about my favorite superhero and just type the word "Superman" into the search bar. I didn't really expect to find much, a couple edits, really old videos talking about how great he is, and some fight clips thrown in for good measure. Then I come across this video. And I just loved it. I'm mad at myself for not rewatching this earlier. This is probably one of the best videos I've seen about Superman ever! He really understands the character and the message at the end and that little part with Jimmy made me feel tears form behind my eyes. Great video Troyoboyo! Keep up the fantastic work!
Can't await to see that. Your ideas are awesome. In the future, you could do a prewrite of the Fantastic Four or the x-men, given a idea of how could be their movie in the MCU
This was incredible!!! You truly have a beautiful understanding of the character. He’s the most relatable character intrinsically because of his values!!!
Literal chills. I won't lie I got a little teary eyed. This is the exact version of the character I would love to see come to the big screen. Fucking perfect
I’ve always thought Superman was a bland and boring superhero, one that never stood out from the more cool superheroes. Like Batman, or Ironman. But now I’ve realized that this man has a heart bigger than himself, and that’s something no other hero can’t do (Captain America and Spider-Man don’t count). You made me realize being super is not what makes a hero. It’s the man, not the super, that makes Superman, who he is.
I teared up at that. It actually feels more like A Beautiful day in the neighborhood. I cried when I watched that movie and I assure you, if this gets made, I WILL cry as well.
That was genuinely really great, I kind of teared up near the end. I wish Hollywood understood what superman really is rather than what he appears to be so we could get more art like this
A testament to your ability as a writer being that even in just voice over I can picture this film vividly, and the emotional impact of the finale brought me to tears. A beautiful story, well done sir.
I love Superman so much. There’s so many times when I didn’t want to get back up and keep going but Superman thought me better than that. I love this character so much and I’m working on a script of my own for Superman. Your story moved me so much. It’s beautiful just like the ideals this character represents.
I know this means nothing but this video hit something in me something deep in my mind I don't know why. I cried all the way through from the moment you described the reagan scene (the first time I ever saw it) till the "call me clark" at the end, and I want to I guess thank you for this it was the first time i've cried in a while and by a while I mean years I thought I had some sort of problem in my eyes, but I guess I'm just numb but anyway I really needed this for whatever reason I needed this deep down in side me and I will never forget this video, this channel, this idea, and this message and it's important to me and I guess this is just a really roundabout way of saying thanks but i mean it from the bottom of my heart thanks.
As much as this is everything I imagine Superman to be, I don’t think people want to accept our own and each other’s ability for kindness. It seems every time that I bring up how Clark is just a guy who does the right thing, people are quick to say that someone who just does the right thing without ulterior motives is unrealistic.
The other day I watched Superman 1978 for the first time. It was actually brilliant. the only other Superman movie I’ve seen is ‘Man of Steel’, and it felt kinda weird. And now I’ve the oldest and latest superman movie, I see Superman in a completely different light. Superman isn’t a lifeless rock who has the powers of a god. He’s human, like all of us, he may have amazing powers but he would stop to help a cat get of a tree. That’s Superman.
I know you probably won’t see this on your two year old video but I was having a very rough night on the verge of self harm, this made me breakdown into tears, made my feel like I had a chance. Thank you for this hope.
I couldn’t agree more with Hanks as Superman. I’ve said for years that if a late 80’s/early 90’s superman movie was made he would be the ideal choice. All props for the original take on the character.
I’ve never been much of a Superman fan, or even a DC fan in general. But one thing I’ve always, ALWAYS loved was a relatable character. That’s why I love Spider-Man so much, it’s not all super powers and doomsday fights. It’s human emotion and human problems. And you’ve done that today. You’ve taken a character that I couldn’t relate to or even like and just had him sky rocket to the top of my list of heroes. I haven’t loved Superman before, but your Superman? That’s something I could learn to love
Superman writers need to start focusing more on the man than the super.

@@dcmarvelcomicfans9458 Agreed. Smallville is great.

This hypothetical Clark movie would be what I wished Man of Steel was, and what many superhero stories seem to be avoiding nowadays: an inspiring tale made with care, love and a heartwarming feel that gives the audience a message of pure hope and kindness.

Troyoboyo17 I DONT CRY... LIKE EVER.. BUT THIS..... THIS IS TOO TOUCHING AND BEAUTIFUL TO NOT SHED A TEAR TO, THANK YOU FOR Reminding us That we All have the Ability to be Like Superman.
I also had a concept in mind for a Superman movie (it's part of a pitch I had for a reboot version of the DC movies):
The movie would open in Smallville, where a young Lex Luthor would be watching the stars, when he see something falling from the sky. While Lex picks the truck from his drunk dad, the Kents would found the spaceship, with a baby inside. The couple decides to adopt the child and so they take him away, along side the spaceship. When Luthor arrives he only founds a strange green rock.
[Roll the title : Superman The Man of Tommorrow]
After that, the movie opens 14 years after, already introducing Clark as a shy, but nice and kind hearted boy who would start to develop his powers. After causes a accident in his school, Clark talk to his parents, Jonathan and Martha Kent, and they would take hum to the garage, where they show the spaceship where they found him years ago. When Clark touch the rocket he activate a holografic message left by Jor-El, revealing that Clark is his son Kal-El from the planet Kripton. Once the message is over, Clark run from home, scared with the discovery. Jonathan goes after him . Clark would say he doesn't want to be a freak and just wants to be Jonathan's son, and Jonathan hugs him and replies: “You are my son”. In the following day, Clark uses his powers to save his friends from a storm, which inspires him to decide to use his powers to help people.
The movie jumps 7 years ahead, and Clark (Matt Bomer) would move to Metropolis. Once there he would see the big city, with modern buildings, but his super senses and interactions with the town people allow him to see the dark truth of Metropolis: the whole city is victim of crime and corruption, the peole are afraid and distrust others, thinking that is all a plan to steal money from them; and most of the city is exploid by Lexcorp. Clark starts his job as reporter on the Daily Planet, the only newspaper in the city that stands up against Lexcorp corruption. This is where he first meets his supporting cast: Jimmy Olsen (Asa Butterfield), Cat Grant, Steve Lombard, Perry White (Danny Devito) and Lois Lane (Morena Baccarin).
When a spacecraft suffers a accident and stars to falling, right in collision to Metropolis, Clark, using a costume that his mother made for him (which she would say was made based on the uniforms of the JSA, heroes that she heard about when she was little) stops the collision, revealing his powers to the public, surprise with the arrival of this mysterious hero. In the next day Clark and Lois start to interview all the citzens, asking their opnion about this “Superman”. Some praise him and call him a savior while others distrust him. One of the persons who is totaly against Superman is Lex Luthor (Michael Rosebaum), who is reveal to be Lexcorp CEO. During the interview Lois would make some questions that imply that Luthor had something to do with the spacecraft incident, since if the spacecraft had crashed in Metropolis, the government would cancel their contract with the rival company and sign with Lexcorp to build a better one, plus Lexcorp would also gain mutiple contracts to fix the damage caused by the crashed. Luthor, of course, dismiss them, but Clark agree with Lois and is certain that Luthor will cause much problem for his alter ego.
The following days, Luthor start to turn people against Superman. To face off against this, Superman would have a interview with Lois Lane, asking her to give his message to the people of Metropolis, that he is not here to harm anyone he just wants to help. This proves tô be a great move and people start to approve the hero's help.
However Luthor will not accept this. This is when something comes to his mind: what if Superman is the mysterious alien who though he saw falling in Smallville years ago?
To test his theory Luthor manipulate a event where he test the kriptonite on Superman, after seen the effects the rock has on the hero (in which Superman fails to catch some thiefs) Luthor contacts the USA army, covincing them that Superman is a alien invader. He also gives one of the soldiers, the war hero sergent John Corben a special armor to fight the Man of steel. Luthor reveals Superman is alien to the media and, the army set up a trap for the hero. Superman is able to escape but Corben tries to attack him, causing his armor to overload and explode. Superman is framed by Corben aciddent, with the army invading the Daily Planet, shoutting down the newspaper, and Luthor even convive them to spread drones all over the city to capture Superman if he shows up or tries to fly.
Things are so bad that Clark has a dialogue with his parents deciding what he should do. While that happen, something goes wrong with Luthor's drones, and It start to attack civilians. Seeing the people in peril, Clark opens his shirt and throw off the glasses, becoming Superman once again to save them. Superman is able to destroy the drones but this is one he comes face to face with Luthor's secret weapon: a revived John Corben, nos transformed in the cyborg Metallo. Metallo is so obsess in defeating Superman that he doesn't care who's in his way, putting civilians lifes in danger. Metallo start to saying that once he kills Super he will be the world's greatest hero, but Superman say his wrong, that a hero is someone who cares for life and does his best to protect It, everthing that Metallo isn't.
After a big showdown, Superman defeats Metallo, however he still has to deal with Luthor and the army, who still sees him as threat. The public comes to Superman's aid claiming that he is his savior. This is the momen lt where Superman had enought. He stand between the two sides, alongside Lois and the people who helped during the fight, and said that he's not a threat nor a savior, he's just someone trying to help people and that's all he wants from the people: to stop been dependent of someone and instead to help each other. The people are inspired by Superman's words and the army stop chasing him. At night, Luthor meets with Superman and say this is not over, that the city belongs to him not to a alien, but Superman denies his argument, saying that Metropolis belongs to everyone, and he's not gonna let him ruin this
In the next day, Clark meets with Lois on the Daily Planet rooftop, where he reveals his secret identity, only to Lois reveals that she already knew, but decide to respect his secret, becoming hi ally and maybe something more (giving hints of their future romance).
The movie ends with Jimmy interrupting the two, telling about a crime that is happening in the city. Lois tells Clark that this “looks like a job for Superman” and goes to take the Uber, while Clark transform into Superman and flies, passing to all the people of Metropolis, all helping each other just like Superman does for all of them.
Very cool.
Great story, but you said the movie would jump 14 years after Clark’s ship lands, which would make him 14 years old, then two years later, so he would be 16 and be played by a 42 year old Matt Bomer??
@@davidhusari2739 okay. I miscalculated that part. I think the parts on Smallville should feature a 14 years old Clark and after that the movie would jump 10 years, when Clark moves to Metropolis.
Also, this period between Clark days in Smallville and his arrival in Metropolis, could work to introduce the Legion of Super Heroes in a sequel.
Pretty cool,but one thing. I think Clark shouldn't be as suprised by his powers,I mean its not like he can turn his super strenght or speed on and off,he should've always known there is something different about him,even using his powers to a small extent. The message from the pod would of course shock him,but I don't think he'd be as scared as he'd just be confused
@@ancientaxolotl1654 It would be something like that. For me, the whole part in Smallville would be all about show the humanity in Superman, with starting confused with his powers and the Discovery about his birth, but learning to accept them and find his path as a hero (that way showcasing that wasn't Jor El message that made Clark into a hero, but his bond with his parents and friends)
I wish this was an actual movie, just hearing you explain it made me hopeful and smiling.
Additional: Lois is freaking out when Clark says he’s going to fly the satellite to the sun.
Clark: I have to do this Lois, I’m Superman and besides *looks back at the crowd of civilians* I’ll still be here.
"Since Trump comparisons are pretty disrespectful to the character of Lex Luthor" thank you.
You've let others roil you up to hate and blind you.

Keep it up man
It says only three waiting
maybe there’s only three waiting
Because were all not waiting
I really can’t wait fo this
So let me recap what you did that made this storytelling of yours so great:
>Using the Reagan scene from the All-Star Superman comic.
>Using All-Star Superman as the MAIN Inspiration
>Using Reagan AGAIN
Was your goal to warmed our hearts man? Because you just succeeded! It's like Kingdom Come and All-Star Superman rolled into one. 😁👏
For a second I thought you meant the president, and got really confused
I loved this so much... I so badly want this to be a movie so I can cry like a big baby when the finale comes up. I've recently started high school and I've been stressed about it for so long. Tests, homework, and the negative people in the school. Seeing this new idea of Superman to be someone to help one person and then they help others is something I love so much that I couldn't help but shed a few tears. Thank you for this prewrite, and thank you for making engaging videos.
The ideas you have are 99% of the time extremely awesome and you know the characters you talk about really well,especially Dc characters(and Spider-Man) so I think this is probably gonna be one of your greatest vids
EDIT: Yeah,now this is what I call CONTENT
I was already down with it from the start, but Jewish Clark gave me so many feelings..also how dare you give me Smallville feelings
You really understand Clark as a character. Lots of people don't understand him as a character, how he chooses to be kind and use his powers to help others. They see a guy with superpowers and think about how they'd use them for themselves, but that just shows that being kind and selfless takes guts.
"Please, call me Clark" is a good way to end this. Because, he is Clark.
"Oh boi, yeah"

A freaking video essay just made me tear up. Damn dude, they need to hire you ASAP
You're the Superman of UA-cam.
Nah that's Jake Paul
troyoboyo17 you sick son of a bitch
Chainsaw Man productions Na that’s COPPA
@@troyoboyo17 hoping superman gets written in good old heroic fashion one day.
Doomsday clock has me tear up when they showed a Christopher Reeves styled superman guiding manhattan to become a savior himself
@Memescool123 Roleplays And More! nah, pewdiepie is Batman
You can’t keep cooking this hard with these Superman videos
Lois "Who are your people?"
Clark "I don't have a people"
Lois "What does the S stand for?"
Clark *looks off into distance* "... Skywalker"
I’m about to cry. That was one of the best superhero movies I’ve ever seen. Thanks for this, and keep up the good work.
Now in quarantine, in these darker times, we need this movie, we need Superman, more than ever.
My personal fan casting for this would be
Clark- Tom Hanks
Lex- Bruce Willis
Lois- Lynda Carter
Jimmy- Taron Egerton or Ansel Elgort
Regan- Camren Bicondova or Tegan Croft
Man that ending! Perfect, and I can definitely see why you chose Tom Hanks now.
I know how weird and dumb this is gonna sound but could do like a prewrite for daredevil season 4? I know season 4 is not gonna happen but maybe you could like write it and pretend we’re in a world where it wasn’t cancelled
I personally think that is a cool idea!!
That geneuinly sounds interesting a good way to cope with the fact that we might never get a S4.
Dude! That’s an epic idea! I hope he does!
That would be cool
Binary Spider it’s way too hard to write an entire season of episodes
I know this comment will likely get buried under all the others but I really wanted to say this, and I desperately hope you read it. You have written something beautiful. You, like no one else I've seen talk about this character, understand superman. For the first time in a long time you made me cry over a piece of media, you gave me that feeling of hope that I thought I lost completely. When I'm feeling down and need some hope, need to feel everything will be alright, when I need superman I come here.
So from the bottom of my heart, thank you I cant properly express exactly how much this video has come to mean to me.
damn bro why did i cry 😭😭😭
on that note, been watching your superman videos and i am having a good time! been a while since i enjoyed the comics and it made me glad it was superman who brought me back :) thank you
God damn, thanks for this. I'm going through a rough patch myself rn, and even if it's not Superman himself saying these words, just hearing _someone_ say them already means more than you know.
I've been crying a lot, lately, but this is one of the few things I've experienced recently that made me cry in a good way.
I'm crying at the end of this video - and putting that interview clip in while we're all crying? Perfect
I didn't expect that opening, man!!
You caught me off guard with that vintage Chris Reeves interview footage. And the way you laid the Hanz Zimmer score over it.
Tears in my eyes, bro!! 😭😹
i hate watching your pre/re-writes cause it shows me the movies in my head that i know we won’t get
I have no words, excellent work, man. Not to sound hyperbolic, but this is exactly what not just the superhero genre needs, but possibly the world
"A man can be all powerful, a man can be morally perfect, but no man is above learning a new lesson." - Accented Cinema
That last part especially that last part of the Olsen interview.....I ain’t crying it’s just my allergies. It’s a high pollen count in January.... not crying.... it’s just dust
That finale had me moved almost to tears, Superman is just that, a MAN. Despite his abilities he is no more flawed and human than any of us, he can't save everyone, he can't be Superman 24/7 but that doesn't make anything less than a hero. Instead of making him weak, humanize him, make him the everyman because outside of the tights, that's what he is. Superman is all of us.
Could you do a rewrite of the rise of Skywalker or maybe the sequel trilogy as a whole would be a better video. I would watch both tbh
That last line "it seems like it's easier to let the bad guys win" really hit home... Well done sir. Well done.
Troyoboyo I appreciated this video so much. Superman hasn’t always been my favorite superhero. But he’s the epitome of the “superhero.”
I had a similar idea.
My idea is a 5 or 6 long series with each episode an hour long.
It would tell the story of Superman in the future. He ages slow enough for everyone he knew to be dead, and have children, grandchildren even. Prolonged exposure to Kryptonite has mutated his body, giving him months, if not weeks left to live. He decides to do as much good as possible, inclouding settling a score, making amends with Lex Luthor Jr, adopted son of Clark's enemy. The two become friends and Clark has done what he needed to do. He allows an interview with Lana Lane, niece of Lois. He explains his backstory and his condition, asking for the interview to be public after he's gone. He decides to lead a new legacy by training new heroes. But they are more violent and turn away from his ideals. He talks some down, but fails to convince 3 of them to stop being murderous vigilantes. He defeats them, but one dies, leading to a funeral Superman speaks at. The whole time, Lex Jr reveals to be a new version of Metallo, upgraded and determined to ruin Superman, still believing Lex's views. After failing to beat Superman, who has the help of all his friends, Metallo activates a Kryptonite bomb inside him, that will render Earth inhavitable for Kryptonions, including Krypto, who Lana now owns and Kara, whose in a coma due to new Metallo. Clark realises he has a few days left to live, and chooses to fly Metallo into space. The explosion destroys Metallo and leaves Superman basically dead and floating in space, looking at a world he is satisfied is a safe place. He dies, knowing his legacy lives on in every living being on Earth who does good, because in the end, hope is all you need to be Superman.
This was POWERFUL. Indeed, the type of Superman story we NEED! I was skeptical at first, especially with the Tom Hanks choice, but by the end of the video I was completely sold. It all fits together beautifully. Bravo.
“My go to Superman is...Tom Hanks.”
......
*Pauses and gives it an honest-to-God minute to think it through*
...I don’t hate this casting. At all.
Thank for this - I think we all needed it. That finale had me in tears
this video made me cry... no joke, this video geniuely made me cry, it´s the best story I've heard in my life
Holy cow. This is the second time I’ve gotten goosebumps from one of your videos.
You deserve so many more subs. Millions.
I honestly cried so many times during this video. It honestly really touched me so many times.
Goddamn, Superman is honestly amazing.
"So let's talk about the opposite of a dog...
Lex Luthor." That one got me hard lol
But dude wow, I'm literally crying with that climax and ending. That was amazing.
Keep giving your best, I really hope one day I can see your name among the big shots and say I was watching your content since... well I was about to say "beginning", but it's more about "rewrites spider-man homecoming appeared on the recommended", but not as climatic huh
Needing a hero now more than ever, I was scrolling through my feed and came across this video again. And the bit at the end made me cry, because it applies so well to my life. Thank you, Fanboy.
And, of course, thank you, Superman.
Wow. Well done. I would watch your version a hundred times. Your version is what we need. Your version also would motivate people to help others. If everyone had a little heart and care for others, this world would be a better and safer place!
This is... Something I needed today. Thank you
Stay safe, take care of yourself, you matter ❤️
@@troyoboyo17 Thank you. Your videos this past week have helped me a lot and finally convinced me to watch Spectacular Spiderman who is also helping. Again thank you, take care and keep it up with the awesome content
That is brilliant! The people coming together is definitely what was missing from all superman movies lately.
I don’t know how to say this but I’ll give it a go...this is one of the best movie pitches I’ve ever heard. People always ask me why I find Superman so compelling this pitch explains my reasons perfectly. I guess I’m kind of going through a lot at the moment, and when you started saying Superman’s lines of dialogue about not needing X-ray vision to know when someone is sad - that was beautiful. This left me in tears. Thank you so much for crafting such a beautiful story. WB has to pick this up!
This made me cry ! Y^Y You really captured all the reasons I love this character. Thank you so much!
Give this man the budget to make these come true! These are incredible this put me in the feels
This gave me goose bumps in places! Well done dude, great video and a brilliant concept.
Thanks so much!
I bawled both times I listened to this. Hearing Christopher Reeve explain why Superman is relevant made my day but you going to the moment of the people stepping up when Superman can’t save everything made me lose it. That’s why Superman matters. Hope. Well done.
Is there any way to like a video twice? Honestly, this video hit harder WAAAYYYYY more than I expected it to. I seen this video when it first came out and summed up it as "Another good Superman video." to group in with all the others. Now cut to today, Tuesday, June 23, 2020. I'm sitting in my room feeling like an empty husk due to both boredom and a sense of overall emptyness. I decide to go and check out a video about my favorite superhero and just type the word "Superman" into the search bar. I didn't really expect to find much, a couple edits, really old videos talking about how great he is, and some fight clips thrown in for good measure. Then I come across this video. And I just loved it. I'm mad at myself for not rewatching this earlier. This is probably one of the best videos I've seen about Superman ever! He really understands the character and the message at the end and that little part with Jimmy made me feel tears form behind my eyes. Great video Troyoboyo! Keep up the fantastic work!
Can't await to see that. Your ideas are awesome.
In the future, you could do a prewrite of the Fantastic Four or the x-men, given a idea of how could be their movie in the MCU
Got me crying on the way to work. You're an incredible storyteller and nerd
Bruh I got chills when he said “call me Clark”
18:07 Even though I kinda saw it coming I balled and balled. More emotional than Endgame without doubt. WB needs to HIRE YOU!
Correction! I cried EVEN MORE than Spiderverse.... you know the scene.
I’ve never cried at a UA-cam video before. This has always been my Superman. This is what superman means to me. Thank you.
Was speechless at the end, you captured greatly what Superman represents; the kindness and capacity for selflessness that resides in everyone
I'm not crying, it's just raining inside my house...
This was beautiful and is everything Superman means to me. Thank you for this. Sincerely.
This was incredible!!! You truly have a beautiful understanding of the character. He’s the most relatable character intrinsically because of his values!!!
Literal chills. I won't lie I got a little teary eyed. This is the exact version of the character I would love to see come to the big screen. Fucking perfect
This might be the best superman pitch I have ever heard
I’ve always thought Superman was a bland and boring superhero, one that never stood out from the more cool superheroes. Like Batman, or Ironman. But now I’ve realized that this man has a heart bigger than himself, and that’s something no other hero can’t do (Captain America and Spider-Man don’t count). You made me realize being super is not what makes a hero. It’s the man, not the super, that makes Superman, who he is.
I teared up at that. It actually feels more like A Beautiful day in the neighborhood. I cried when I watched that movie and I assure you, if this gets made, I WILL cry as well.
This is everything I ever wanted from a Superman story. Thank you for this
During these times, that pitch you made is a Superman movie we all need
This video deserves a lot more views. It's one of my all-time favourites!
That was genuinely really great, I kind of teared up near the end. I wish Hollywood understood what superman really is rather than what he appears to be so we could get more art like this
This brought tears to my eyes, this is a beautiful piece of writing and I feel that a lot of people need to hear this message.
A testament to your ability as a writer being that even in just voice over I can picture this film vividly, and the emotional impact of the finale brought me to tears. A beautiful story, well done sir.
GOD DAMN that was amazing! I really wish this was made
Bruh that was beautiful this made me cry. Thank You!
I love Superman so much. There’s so many times when I didn’t want to get back up and keep going but Superman thought me better than that. I love this character so much and I’m working on a script of my own for Superman. Your story moved me so much. It’s beautiful just like the ideals this character represents.
I know this means nothing but this video hit something in me something deep in my mind I don't know why. I cried all the way through from the moment you described the reagan scene (the first time I ever saw it) till the "call me clark" at the end, and I want to I guess thank you for this it was the first time i've cried in a while and by a while I mean years I thought I had some sort of problem in my eyes, but I guess I'm just numb but anyway I really needed this for whatever reason I needed this deep down in side me and I will never forget this video, this channel, this idea, and this message and it's important to me and I guess this is just a really roundabout way of saying thanks but i mean it from the bottom of my heart thanks.
3 times. You made me cry 3 times in the span of 22 minutes. Phenomenal job on the story man.
Actually brought a tear to my eye during the finale. Amazing work man 🙌🏼👍🏼
Your dang pitch made me freaking cry. I need this movie in my life.
As much as this is everything I imagine Superman to be, I don’t think people want to accept our own and each other’s ability for kindness. It seems every time that I bring up how Clark is just a guy who does the right thing, people are quick to say that someone who just does the right thing without ulterior motives is unrealistic.
The other day I watched Superman 1978 for the first time. It was actually brilliant. the only other Superman movie I’ve seen is ‘Man of Steel’, and it felt kinda weird. And now I’ve the oldest and latest superman movie, I see Superman in a completely different light. Superman isn’t a lifeless rock who has the powers of a god. He’s human, like all of us, he may have amazing powers but he would stop to help a cat get of a tree. That’s Superman.
I know you probably won’t see this on your two year old video but I was having a very rough night on the verge of self harm, this made me breakdown into tears, made my feel like I had a chance. Thank you for this hope.
I couldn’t agree more with Hanks as Superman. I’ve said for years that if a late 80’s/early 90’s superman movie was made he would be the ideal choice. All props for the original take on the character.
I... had already seen this.
Yet.
I dunno why, but it made me tear up a little at the end.
Thanks :,)
If Henry cavil isn't in the next superman movie then my next choice would definitely be brandon Routh
You really just are the best creator on this platform. I love all your stuff dude.
I’ve never been much of a Superman fan, or even a DC fan in general. But one thing I’ve always, ALWAYS loved was a relatable character. That’s why I love Spider-Man so much, it’s not all super powers and doomsday fights. It’s human emotion and human problems.
And you’ve done that today. You’ve taken a character that I couldn’t relate to or even like and just had him sky rocket to the top of my list of heroes. I haven’t loved Superman before, but your Superman? That’s something I could learn to love
