Doom Patrol Season 1 - What's the Difference?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 гру 2020
- Listen, there've been A LOT of superhero tv shows over the past few years and it's taken a second for us to catch up. But few of them have tickled our fancy quite like Doom Patrol. The comic book adaptation that opts for fighting personal demons over fighting super villains borrows from comics storylines across the decades. So how did the shows creators pick the best storylines for from a long running DC b-team to make a truly unique series? It's tie to ask What's the Difference?

Find me a better villain than Mr. Nobody!
This show has resurrected the career of Brendan Fraser and the show (as a whole) is nothing short of fantastic!
I think the show's writing and characterizations are sloppy, but I'm all about Alan Tudyk going full ham.
Which is why you should watch Harley Quinn, a much funnier and more focused DC show that features Alan as both the Joker and Clayface.
@@InverseAgonist How did I not know Alan was the Joker??? Sadly I couldn't really get into 'Harley Quinn', it seemed a bit shallow to me, I need to give it another try. Absolutely loving the 'Doom Patrol' tho, except for Cyborg that is. I don't really care for his character.
@@InverseAgonist harely quinn is garbage are you kidding me
@@InverseAgonist timeout you think the shows writing was sloppy did you even watch it??????you couldn't have cause the writing is the best thing about the show.
@@dummyfranchise3630 don't take him seriously he likes the Harley Quinn cartoon
Comic Mr Nobody's head is a question mark, but, those floating eyes make it look more like Microsoft Clippy went evil.
Holy fuck I miss Clippy lol
@@darencolby1916 I don't
Man, that show is the best part of DC Universe.
100% AGREE
Well, HBO Max now...
@@Error0101 Yeah.
I concur
No that was Swamp thing
Doom Patrol not only proves that there are avenues for adaptions of some of Grant Morrison's greatest works..It also proves that their work can be adapted with absolute precision and love so much so that they actually end up transcending the original source material
Problem till now is they kept trying to cram Morrison works into 90 min - 2 hour movies instead of a show like this with much more time ot flesh out characters and details.
@@Babbleplay Very true
The way they butchered his awesome Batman run in the garbage New 52 Animated Batman is just unforgivable
Imo Morrison's run on Batman as a whole is the most definitive and intricate run on Batman
@@whysosnappy8016 I'm surprised this exists; I thought he's sworn off letting his works be adapted, but, on reflection, I think that was Alan Moore. Creepy, unhinged homeless beard-guy looking creator.
@@Babbleplay I think Morrison's fine with adaptations of his works
It's Alan Moore who is dead set against adaptations of his works and in a way he isn't that wrong..Like for example even though I enjoy the Watchmen movie it still missed several underlying themes and nuances present in the original graphic novel
Grant is nonbinary. The use they and theirs
Dr. Harrison actually is in the comics. She was introduced in Gerard Way’s run and was created from the trauma Jane suffered from watching Ahl the God of Superheroes be bludgeoned to death with Danny the brick.
I'm glad someone already said this cause I didn't want to be "that nerd" also she did create a cult in the comics as well but it was so she could transfer the other personalities into their bodies and then kill them to become the sole persona.
@@ampharosfan
Yikes. That sounds kind of dark.
came here to say this lol
Out of context that sounds like a god of superheroes being killed by a brick that got named danny
In WHO'S?? Run?
Doom Patrol is one of the best comic adaptations ever imo. It stays true to the wackiness and themes from Morrison's run while also doing its own take on the characters.
If you want normal super-villainy, you get the Justice League. But if you are dealing with metaphysical threats, you get the Doom Patrol.
Pretty sure Justice League Dark deals with metaphysical threats
Doom Patrol handles existential and absurdist threats whether they be metaphysical or scientific in origin.
"Just some flawed folks coping with themselves and the strange occurrences blowing down their door"
It's Aqua Teen Hunger Force?
...*fuck*. It is.
Except all of them actually are trying. Can't say that for Shake or Carl.
Does aqua teen hunger force have a makeout scene between a giant cockroach and a giant mouse?.
Jk I just wanted to talk about that scene
@@lalithadavi4845 It actually does
Best show to come out of the DC-Universe, there I said it.
Finaly a show that isn't afraid to poke fun at itself or the superhero genre as a whole.
@ImpishDCrealm Mr Nobody in S1E13 Having a laugh at how they can finaly be a superhero show now the character driven episodes have ended isn't them poking fun at themselves?
@Mikhail G Explained that to Snyder and his ReALisTic take on the DCEU
Elasti-Girl as a blob lady was from the comics too. It was from Keith Giffen's Doom Patrol run in 2010. She had to rebuild herself every morning from a pile of skin and goop.
Finally, a superhero show that actually devotes time to heroes dealing with their past traumas.
*Oliver Queen starts raising his hand*
"Dealing" with their past traumas.
*Hand goes down*
I really hope this is sarcasm
@@InverseAgonist it's not. It's very much about that and extremely good at it
@@tyrant-den884 oliver did deal with his past and trauma thats what season 5 was all about with adrian chase
@@dummyfranchise3630 I wouldn't know. Adrian "I want to prove you are evil because you killed murderer father" Chase completely destroyed any remaining interest I had in that show.
Okay, that's a lie. The Black Canary suddenly turning for no reason did; and show was already on thin ice after the Arrow team I actually gave a shit about all left. But AC was very disappointing, he would have been WAY more interesting as a District Attorney.
Doom Patrol's writing and directing are fairly strong but the whole thing stumble if it weren't for near perfect casting and acting. Diane Guerrero, Brenden Frasier, and April Bowlby are outstanding.
Kinda agree - actors carry the story much harder that story carries itself.
It’s a character driven rather than plot driven show (and I stand by that, despite how many insane and convoluted plots are thrown at us) so it makes sense that the writing is only as strong as the acting. I think both are great but it is pretty perfectly cast (and one of Bomer‘ smote interesting roles since his soap opera days-seriously).
Read the comics just because of the show. So happy to know both of these things :)))
That's how I got into garth ennis. After first ep of preacher, I read the entire series before second episode. Then punisher max, then the boys
I've never read the comics, and if this show was ever described to me, I would've thought "That sounds extremely stupid and corny." However, after watching it, I will say that this is one of the best shows I have ever seen.
00:08 Seeing Swamp Thing made me realize I might never get over the cancellation.
HBO Max should do something about it
I think this show and The Mandalorian, with Robotman and Din Djarin, have proved how much you can accomplish as an actor without using your face. Brendan Frasier is in a full body robot suit most of the show and he kills it, same with Pedro Pascal
Brendon Fraser isn’t in the suit, he’s just the voice
@@alexmansfield3268 oh, I guess kinda like how James Earl Jones voiced Darth Vader
Finally, a youtuber covers this awesome show!!
bobatalks also covers this show too if you want doom patrol content he got it
Now that I FINALLY finished binge-watching both seasons (I actually meant to take my time, but they were just TOO good), I watched this video and dang, it was fun. I really, really hope you're going to create a part two to talk about the second season.
Thanks for putting it out there that this is an amazing show! Doom Patrol should be way more popular than it is. Not only is the dope underrated Bond Timothy Dalton so good in this but Brendan Frasier is amazing and Alan Tudyk kills it as Mr. Nobody.
Mr. Nobody, also known as Destroyer of 4th Wall. Great character btw
Mr. Nobody is a great villian! And I love Danny the street who accepts everyone who they truly are
this is the most underrated show out there by far, incredible in every way!
Danny the street is named after a real life drag queen named Danny La Rue.
Also Morrison recently came out as Non-binary so maybe there’s more to their Doom Patrol run then just the psychedelics.
One of the most original series i've ever seen!
Glad to see DP get more coverage. Really a hidden gem in an oversaturated market.
For me Doom Patrol and The Boys has been the perfect antidote to all the super hero films and tv shows which I felt were becoming too "samey" and homogenized (if I had to sum them up, The Boys is superheroes gone bad whilst Doom Patrol is superheroes with personal demons), Cliff's character (Brendan Fraser) is a great antihero reminding me of Eric Cartman in South Park ("screw you guys... I'm going home") and in every episode had me giggling at the expletives & profanities and how he used them.
This. Show. Is. So. Good!
I’d love to see them do a whats the difference on Mash. Especially if they add in some stuff with the show and what they changed from the book/movie as well
I look forward to your episode of "What's The Difference?" on "The Boys"....until it's demonetized 0.5 seconds later.
The Swamp Thing deserves a shot. A really good season that was short changed.
Yeah I miss elon musk turning into plant lol
I was skeptical about the show, nownits one of my favorite ever! I can't wait for Season 3!
Definitely one of the best tv shows I've ever seen
I just recently started watching Doom Patrol and ive already watched both seasons three times around now. This show is like a movie every episode
Sucks that this isn’t a show about Dr. Doom patrolling his country.
Latveria really needs more development.
I am still waiting on the Dr Doom movie by Noah Hawley if it ever ends up getting made
Even tho I greatly enjoyed Doom Patrol. Dr. Doom is far too underrepresented.
@@tyrant-den884 yeah...more doombots then....
@@florider_hd I'm pretty sure you are trying to be ironic or something, but those things get sentience pretty often: so you are adding to my point.
Season 2s ending broke my soul. How it was affected by Covid. Ughh i hope we get more
Doom Patrol is one of DC's best works! Yes, cover Season 2!
This was so great. Both your video and season one of the show. Now do season 2 please!
The Animal Vegetable Mineral Man scenes were hilarious
I hope we get a season 2 breakdown of what’s the difference, I’m really interested in how the show changes Dorothy’s origin and what it keeps!
I remember reading one of the 1960's run I got at a yard sale and thinking "this is stupid "...live and learn I guess, I fucking love this show!!
Absolutely a fantastic show!! Hidden gem!
Yes need part two!!!
Mr. Nobody and Red Jack are my 2 favourite Supervillains from Doom Patrol.
I've only watched it when I'm high and it's been an awesome ride. Highly recommend it on everyone's high list
Amazing shows one of my all time favourites!
I just finished watching both seasons, really great show. :)
Speaking of Grant Morrison/an ever-growing slush pile of "Hey! Do THIS!" comments: What's the Difference of Happy! might be an interesting thing.
“Kipling” is straight out of Eastenders.
this series is the best superhero show hands down
Honestly, having looked into the comics after the show, I wish they had gone more extreme.
Like, the whole Decreator arc has so many cool things. People talking scrambled, evil eyes, etc.
But it is pretty weird already. It has a makeout scene between a giant cockroach and a giant mousr
by far my favorite superhero show of all time
If you are going to do another Whats the Difference?, then do Howl's Moving Castle: Book vs Movie.
Who hopes Mr. Nobody is back for season 3?!
For a few episodes sure but I’d hate to have him be one of the major villains again.
Could you guys do "The umbrella Academy" what's the difference?
Didn't they do that already?
@ImpishDCrealm idk if it sucks and I dont want to find out.
@@casono it's actually very good
15:42 Whatever this sound effect is, it sounds like a door opening behind me and it's freaking me out!
Yeah, do the second season. Great show. Thanks.
Try doing a what’s the difference for Stephen King’s The Stand since the CBS All Access mini series is coming out soon!
Excellent video
BRING ON SEASON 2 AND ITS BULLSHIT ABRUPT ENDING!! Alan Tudyk is a national TREASURE.
cyborg is pretty awesome in this show but man i wish they showed more beast boy, they never put him in anything cause he turns into so many animals
It honestly would have been more difficult. Animating many animals doing different things while doing it right so it looks good and feels natural- takes time and money
Doom Patrol se 1 is fantastic. My favourite superhero show after Legion.
Just finished season 2
These sweeping changes work better ( are more well received) from the smaller properties like this. I hope one day DP7 gets a similar treatment.
Merry Christmas everybody. Much love to all my brothers and sisters. Especially the Giants
Please do a classic next, Great Gatsby! I guess the 2013 one but I'd love to hear more on what u guys think of the film!
I love how they still introduced Beast Boy with the Doom Patrol on the Titans series.
Yes, I love this show!
You got the Gameranx guy doing a voiceover, nice
You mean the original x-men?
as classic as that dig is x-men came out like 6 months after Doom Patrol and would have been in production before x-men came out. That being said they're most likely both better described as a twist on the fantastic 4
@@Pawg_Alf hence why i said you mean the original x-men because the x men were a copy of doom patrol down to the 4th wall breaking psyco and their wheel chaired leader hiding terrible secrets from his team.
@@whunt5533 the 4th wall breaking psycho and the leader hiding terrible secrets from his team weren't a part of the original Doom Patrol that stuff happens in Grant Morrison's run in the 80's after they had already been canceled and rebooted
@@Pawg_Alf and that crap didn't really happen in xmen until the late 80s early 90s and in the ultimate xmen series early 2ks
@@whunt5533 I blame opinions like this on comic book character's longevity. When we think of the identity of a comic team, the impulse association is that they had always existed in the form we first found them. Morrison's run with DP is rightly going to be most people's first impression of the team, the same with the 90's X-MEN cartoon with the Jim Lee costumes.
going back to their comics original runs seems alien and unimportant.
I still don't get why Cyborg is in this show and not on the "Titans" show and what happened to the Doom Patrol who cameoed on Titans?
Hard to believe that this show is considered grounded
who else wants the home made movies series to come back, i love those videos why did the channel change
Hi guys great job on this video! helps a guy Who just started watching this show, like me understand it all. Question, just finished season one, what happened to Danny on the street? Was he destroyed too? Thanks!
Man this show is awesome
I love this show.
Mr Nobody...
Xemnas, is that you?
They should make a What's the Difference on The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I love this so much and I just glad we get a season 3 I not going lie that was a horrible season 2 ended then we find out they couldn't finish make season 2 cause of cov19 that make so they had no choice to end it early then it was support just glad we get to see what happed and I hope Mr. Nobody come back he was so awesome and the reason Alan Tudyk who play Mr.Nobody didn't return cause he on a another show so hope they find a way for him to come back
Can’t wait for s3
Please do season 2!
Do "a scanner darkly"!
so Crowley plays Castiel on Doom Patrol
Love it!
Cyborg is more connected to the comic Doom Patrol than is implied here. Marv Wolfman and George Perez’s Legendary run on the New Teen Titan’s was very very much a semi sequel to the original Doom Patrol. That interwove with that teams story. Many of the original characters from Doom Patrol returned in Titans. While Beast Boy was the only direct carryover, the similarities among some team members was very apparent both in and out of universe. With Cyborg having a bit of a sympathetic connection to Robotman, both being in similar situations. The Titan’s also inherited the original Doom Patrols villains and brought closure to many story arcs long left open. The Titan’s bringing much of the DP back in a somewhat classic form is what led to Morrison’s run. (Following a few false starts.)
Need the one for Swamp Thing guys!!!
Season two please!
I can’t be the only one that wants a what’s the difference between Wise Guy and Goodfellas
Vaping herb and binging Doom Patrol ....... nicccccccccc......cce !!
There's gonna be top10 of 2020??? Looking forward
I'm always surprised that people can dislike these videos lol
Yoooo The Bends
You know, just from hearing the Constantine knock-offs voice, I actually think he would make a pretty good Constantine voice actor if we didn't already have the perfect cast of Matt Ryan.
11:14 wait, the same kipling from the Staleny and his monster comic?
SEASON 2 PLEASE
Geez, there's a whole thing about it. Never heard of any of this.
Grant Morrison’s version has something mythological in its sweep and obscurity. The show is more in the vein of contemporary drama.
great video!!!... Make What's the Difference of Coraline, book and movie
YOU PLEASE MAKE IRONMAN PLEASE I I,M BIG FAN OF YOU GUY
I hadnt seen doom patrol and figured this video would help me decide if i shoudl watch it or not... Now im just confused beyond reason. Like... watching this video made me feel like i was drunk, without being drunk, becuase of how absurd everything being said was.
I'd love to see a Season 2 WTD?
