The one moment this review didn’t cover was when Feedback tearfully told Stan that after his father’s death, Stan-through his comics-became a kind of surrogate father to him, teaching him right from wrong. It was one of the few times I ever saw Stan get really serious: he answered “Thank you. I’m not sure I deserve that, but that you.” You could tell it was a really humbling moment for him.
As much as I like Major Victory, I did start rooting for Feedback after he said that. Well actually it was mostly from that challenge with the "inmates", where the heroes were suppose to hug them. Feedback was the only one to get one of them to agree to a hug.
Try not to cry, cry a lot meme. I actually hear that story a lot, not necessarily with a parent passing, but a ton of kids who read comics while going through tough times and it gives them both hope and something to strive for
I find it hilarious that Stan got upset at the one woman for flirting with all the male superheroes when that was basically Wasp's entire personality for the first fifteen issues of Avengers.
*An amazing quote I found from Major Victory* “I always equated meeting Stan Lee with meeting my wife. It was April 4, 2006 when I met Stan and Jennifer Mae. A producer named Jeff brought her over and introduced us in our Superhero identities. ‘Major Victory this is Diamond Girl.’ We hit it off and kept in touch. From that day on, we were together. We met on April 4th, got married on April 4th, and we both met Stan Lee on that rainy April 4th in 2006." I went on a quest to see what happened to him after the show, and this absolutely made my day
@@undyne1 I think that he was reading some kind of script because it was a TV show or it was because the comic that would be made of them will be directed to kids
It really does just work, doesn't it? Like Stripper or wrestler. You get the athleticism, you know how to perform under pressure and all that stuff, and then it also perfectly explains the costume because of course, right? And if you're a stripper, you go back to the club at night and then you go to the guy serving drinks, and they can be like your informant. "Hey, Victor, watch out when you go home tonight, I heard people talk about how there's been kidnappings lately. People keep disappearing and the only thing left behind is a white rose" or whatever. (Side note, I know his name is Chris, but Maor Victory's real name being Victor feels more comic book-y) Then you get all the potential love interests and the drama or whatever, and it's like... yeah, I'd read that. Heck yeah.
Major victory seems like an awesome person to know He's so endearing, encouraging and befriended everyone he could on the show. I want a show with him and feedback
I’m so glad you too colab, I found Mista GG after Scottie boy. But I always thought you guys doing a video together would’ve been sick! Love you guys 🤙🏻
He didn't even mention the phone call they set up between Major Victory and his daughter, where she tells him that even though he was eliminated, she's so proud of him! 😭😭😭😭😍😍😍
You forgot the most wholesome moment of the show; When Fat Mama goes to the director of the show and tells them that Feedback should win because he genuinely wanted it and she was just on the show for her kids. When this show came out I watched the entire first season. I don't think I knew about the second season until many years later.
Stan: “Honesty is the number one trait of being a superhero” Also Stan: *has a challenge where participants get punished for being honest about their identities*
I actually got to be on this show when I was younger. They had us write essays and whoever had the best got to be an extra for the episode where they go to the elementary school. I have signed pictures from Stan Lee and from the 3 super heros that went to our school.
"Honesty is the number one trait of being a superhero." That's why they hide their identities and keep their friends and families completely in the dark about everything.
Well lying to Stan about their dayjob doesn't make it so that a villain can blackmail them with their families lives so it doesn't seem like a straight comparison lol
@@lukes9192 It makes sense that they lie about their day job; Stan Lee was opposed to the contenders appearing on the show to self promote. Even though that's Stan Lee made it by taking credit for the creation for most Marvel characters, and cameoing in almost every Marvel cilm adaptation.
@@pepperedash4424 thats kinda what Im saying. It IS superhero like to lie about your identity to protect your family. It is not superhero like to lie to a dude to circumvent rules for personal gain
Fat Mama was my family’s favorite! I remember an episode where they had a timed mission at a public space but there was a little girl crying. Some of the contestants ignored her to save time but she went into Mama Bear mode and dropped everything to help the child. ❤️ I hope she’s doing well today! She wasn’t the winner but she will always be a hero to me. (After watching the video I see that you mentioned that challenge lol)
wait, y'all think feedback getting emotional over major victory is cringe??? that was the sweetest, realest thing I've ever seen on a reality competition show
Right? Like the guys took what every superhero already has, why make a new comic about them when there’s nothing new? The girls actually tried to make interesting, unique powers.
I feel they could have been a bit better but at least they TRIED to do something original. Esp Cellphone Girl since like EVERYONE has a cellphone. Plus with those powers it makes you kinda interested to see how/if they could make they work
I may be a tad biased, but I think Feedback’s power deserves some acknowledgement. I’d love to read about a superhero campaigning for the a Watchmen game to be starring Dr. Manhatten as the MC, or complaining when the newest Battlefield is set in the war of 1812.
@@salmonmankingoftheocean7624 it is cool but seeing the wide array of video games there are out there it seems he's a bit OP. Like idk does he have had to play it, seen it recently or does the power just have to exist in a video game and he can use it
10:13 When you started with the puns, I was like, “I guess she… ran out of minutes.” And you kept going while I was talking to my phone like, “Say she ran out of minutes! It’s funny!” And then you didn’t and I was disappointed… but my man Stan came through with the clutch save! That made me feel good
I bet a lot of the weird critiques on the contestants was the studios interference. As you said, if Stan made Stripperella I don’t think he’d care about their personal life but idk
Honestly I'm kinda glad you did this show in a video. My dad actually auditioned for it. I'm pretty sure his audition was even in a promo/ one of the auditions shown in the first episode, cant remember if it was season 1 or 2 though. He was "Captain Cola"
Can I just say that I appreciate how important self care is to Scott. Honestly, if Iron Man and Captain America practiced a little more self care, maybe wouldn't have had a civil war.
@@PikaJim he doesn't, it was eventually mentioned, and is probably a retcon, but he causes a lot of property damage but not a lot of casualities, and never killed on purpose
there’s actually a major victory in the comics, he first appeared in 1969 and has nothing to do with the one in this show. however, if it’s any consolation to those we’re rooting for him, he probably would have had to change a lot of aspects of his super-personality to not cause confusion of a copyright kerfuffle with the original major victory
Does anyone remember a show similar to this where Stan Lee tried finding "real life" superheroes? It essentially boiled down to being a superhero themed Guinness world record show, but I used to love watching it!
Wait, I think I remember this. Was there a person who was like a human calculator and another person who I think he proved his strength by.......I wanna say roll down a frying pan. I forgot what the pan was made out of though.

I just really appreciate that Scott goes through multiple episodes/a whole season on these episodes. I’m always disappointed when people only cover the pilots of shows Edit; wait, is that a Sky High reference at the end?
Stan Lee: Doesn't like it when people go on a show to further their career Also Stan Lee: Takes credit for creating every Marvel character to further his career
Lmao in literally other context imagine the girl being told “climb into my arms,” doing it, and then her immediately asking if she’ll ever see her mom 😬
@@Dante-le4cp I looked this up and apparently Major Victory's first appearance was in 1969. So apparently the guy accidentally stole the name of an already existing super hero 😂
I love Scott's energy in every video. I'm getting burnt out on commentary channels because they often feel like they're just complaining for views, but Scott is always so refreshingly positive!
@@pugtatograce3462 it's all good, he knows. I think that's why he sections it off like that. It makes it really easy for people to skip over it if they don't care.
Yeah, Deadpool is an anti-hero, they aren't fully good or fully bad. Boba Fett also fits this bill. They also make the most interesting characters imo.
That thumbnail awakened a long forgotten memory of a show i used to be OBSESSED with when it was coming out when I was 10 and 11, I remember distinctly how a superhero that was bigger instead of muscley was a really mind shattering idea for me and made me really happy
22:33 can't believe stan lee is slut shaming major victory for being an ex stripper WHILE THERE IS A PICTURE OF HIS CHARACTER STRIPPERELLA RIGHT BEHIND HIM
... I'm mad that I genuinely love Major Victory. He's so... so GOOD. He makes me think of like, Shazam levels of being a superhero-- without actually being secretly a kid, of course. Just a bit silly, with a lot of heart.
6:30 In my head I saw this ending a lot different haha...he picks up the little girl and she starts screaming, then cops roll up guns drawn. "Put the girl down you psycho dressed as a superhero. Is that how you get your rocks off, dressing up like a comic book person and 'rescuing' little girls?" 17:06 I wanted the the big black 'prison guy' to say "well this is awkward...you aren't really much of a conversationalist are you?"
I always wanted to be on this show when it came out. But I missed the deadline and probably wouldn’t have got in anyway. Brings back memories. Thanks, Scott. Edit: Realised this is the American version. I watched the CBBC version which is pretty different lol
Oh God, Major Victory did actually just make me tear up. That is the kindest I've ever seen someone leave a reality show. Telling Feedback not to do something stupid and to just let him leave. Thats genuinely something I don't think I've seen happen in any other show.
How you don't have multi millions of subscribers is beyond me. I get so hyped up every time I see you've uploaded because there's literally 0% chance it won't be insanely entertaining.
I initially thought this was about Stan Lee's Superhumans where he and the world's most flexible man goes to check out people who have unique genetic differences and things that give them cool abilities. I'd love to see someone talk about that show, it was interesting.
I think it would be neat if a show like this came out today. Even though it's not a cash prize, I think having a comic book issue based off of your own superhero is really cool.
The obscure ones are my favorite! It's the reason I enjoy watching your stuff so much! A lot of people do the same stuff so finally watching something new is refreshing!
How is it that trisha paytas is in EVERYTHING. I swear, everyday I find out she was in some old, obscure or not so obscure reality tv show. Trisha paytas has been a menace on 100's of different sets at this point.
18:48 ive never laughed so hard about two ppl making point-blank statements about death, to each other, about one’s father being murdered and the other’s dying to suicide.
I have no qualms to say I LOVED THIS SHOW. It happened right after I finally returned to my home in New Orleans a year after Katrina and it was just good ol fun
Highkey this would make for a great adaptation where the characters are actually superpowered beings competing for status as an official hero. Stan's persona here could translate really well into a morally ambiguous figure representing the superhero organization, from holding the heroes to a ridiculously high standard to purposefully creating a villain for them to face.
There was an Image Comics series in 2003 called "Wildguard: Casting Call" about a reality TV show to pick five superheroes to form a new super-team. One of the five was actually picked by reader votes.
My local comic book shop, Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles was in this show! Somewhere I have that comic...not sure anyone remembers it now so immortality may be a stretch.
Oh crap, I remember watching this show with an older friend of mine who owned a comic book store and was o b s e s s e d with this premise. I remember just kinda thinking it was charming, but looking back on that time was pretty special, especially with those folks I watched the show with no longer with us. Really nice pull, Scott.
Man, I loved this show. I was so sad there wasn't a third season. To this day, I still quote a line from season 2 where Mindset says "I will not play any of your games! THAT IS HOW IT IS SPELLED!!!"
I love how every negative trait Stan Lee brings up are everything his A list heroes have.

And subsequently Homelander would be like "Oh you can fly? Then fly." And like throw him Mach 1 at a brick wall
@@psychotropicstate I’m giggling so hard
I’m only watching the boys for Jensen Ackles-
@@nbhd_deadpoet that’s pretty lame. it’s a good show
@@imsadlol4528 oh I actually really like it now- I meant I only started watching it because of jensen
I just really appreciate that Scott goes through multiple episodes/a whole season on these episodes. I’m always disappointed when people only cover the pilots of shows
Edit; wait, is that a Sky High reference at the end?
Scott, it would be absolutely VILLAINOUS if you didn’t try to interview Major Victory!
15:34, the fact that Stan Lee has a framed photo of Striperella right behind him while saying this is just gold.
Scott saying “ i’ll make you care” is the most intense thing I had ever heard him say
"superheroes are ALWAYS honest"
yes because leading a double life is one of the most honest things one can do
I wish Major Victory would be my dad that would be pretty heroic tbh
Very very heroic, cannot stress how heroic it would be, Chris.
"I lost my mom"
"Where is she?"
"I-....don't know"
"WHERE IS THIS CHILD'S MOTHER?!"

"CLIMB INTO MY ARMS"
Stan Lee: Doesn't like it when people go on a show to further their career
Also Stan Lee: Takes credit for creating every Marvel character to further his career
He green lit most Marvel character up until like 2012

"I can't disclose my secret identity."

Lmao in literally other context imagine the girl being told “climb into my arms,” doing it, and then her immediately asking if she’ll ever see her mom 😬
major victory deserved the win i cannot believe this
Right!!!!
I was partial on NitroG myself
@@psychotropicstate victory just had main character vibes
Major victory is actually a marvel character now too
@@Dante-le4cp I looked this up and apparently Major Victory's first appearance was in 1969. So apparently the guy accidentally stole the name of an already existing super hero 😂
I love Scott's energy in every video. I'm getting burnt out on commentary channels because they often feel like they're just complaining for views, but Scott is always so refreshingly positive!
Can we just appreciate that scott tells us when the ad ends
Don’t tell Scott but I skip it every time 🥲
@@pugtatograce3462 we all do shhhhh 🤫
@@pugtatograce3462 it's all good, he knows. I think that's why he sections it off like that. It makes it really easy for people to skip over it if they don't care.
"Imagine not telling them your name though, you'd look like such a weirdo!"

@@danieljimenez7325 also i dont think captain america was giving those nazis a slap on the wrist in the first avenger
@@danieljimenez7325 And the first one.
Yeah, Deadpool is an anti-hero, they aren't fully good or fully bad. Boba Fett also fits this bill. They also make the most interesting characters imo.
That thumbnail awakened a long forgotten memory of a show i used to be OBSESSED with when it was coming out when I was 10 and 11, I remember distinctly how a superhero that was bigger instead of muscley was a really mind shattering idea for me and made me really happy
22:33 can't believe stan lee is slut shaming major victory for being an ex stripper WHILE THERE IS A PICTURE OF HIS CHARACTER STRIPPERELLA RIGHT BEHIND HIM
There’s a kid version of this, I remember watching it on cbbc, it got cancelled because the judges were too mean and the kids kept crying.
... I'm mad that I genuinely love Major Victory. He's so... so GOOD. He makes me think of like, Shazam levels of being a superhero-- without actually being secretly a kid, of course. Just a bit silly, with a lot of heart.
The cellphone teleportation is kinda cool tbh.being able to jump into radio signals and fly along popping up on another side.
that one challenge would make me terrified of dogs.
also i love major victory
"as a human, im chris" please idc i love him let him win or else
i am so invested 😭
how dare stan say that stripper comment to major victory grrrrgrrrrr
6:30 In my head I saw this ending a lot different haha...he picks up the little girl and she starts screaming, then cops roll up guns drawn. "Put the girl down you psycho dressed as a superhero. Is that how you get your rocks off, dressing up like a comic book person and 'rescuing' little girls?"
17:06 I wanted the the big black 'prison guy' to say "well this is awkward...you aren't really much of a conversationalist are you?"
I always wanted to be on this show when it came out. But I missed the deadline and probably wouldn’t have got in anyway. Brings back memories. Thanks, Scott.
Edit: Realised this is the American version. I watched the CBBC version which is pretty different lol
Major Victory deserved to win. That dude totally has it. He plays the superhero persona perfectly. He did it better than anyone else I saw there!
I had never even seen this show before and all it took was seeing major victory for 15 minutes to start bawling like a baby when he got eliminated
sameeee hahahaha
I'm glad I wasn't the only one lmao it came out of nowhere and hit me so hard...
@@Vonias FRRRR MADE ME SO EMOTIONAL FOR WHAT
Oh God, Major Victory did actually just make me tear up. That is the kindest I've ever seen someone leave a reality show. Telling Feedback not to do something stupid and to just let him leave. Thats genuinely something I don't think I've seen happen in any other show.
How you don't have multi millions of subscribers is beyond me. I get so hyped up every time I see you've uploaded because there's literally 0% chance it won't be insanely entertaining.
I initially thought this was about Stan Lee's Superhumans where he and the world's most flexible man goes to check out people who have unique genetic differences and things that give them cool abilities. I'd love to see someone talk about that show, it was interesting.
"I'll stop the world and melt with you" as the song choice!? Was this an intentional Sky High reference???
I assume so, since he references the villain of the movie in the video!
It definitely was
I think it would be neat if a show like this came out today. Even though it's not a cash prize, I think having a comic book issue based off of your own superhero is really cool.
Stan just flamed all of them the entire show
The obscure ones are my favorite! It's the reason I enjoy watching your stuff so much! A lot of people do the same stuff so finally watching something new is refreshing!
How is it that trisha paytas is in EVERYTHING. I swear, everyday I find out she was in some old, obscure or not so obscure reality tv show. Trisha paytas has been a menace on 100's of different sets at this point.
Her being in Eminem’s music video surprised me
The devil works hard, Trisha Paytas works harder
Her only goal is attention, doesn't matter where it comes from
I watched this show every week with my parents. I could tell it was among the more scripted reality shows, but it was fun as hell.
"Yeah, tell that to Deadpool"
Tbf, Deadpool's really more of an Antiheroes than a superhero😅
...So Feedback and Major victory were definitely in love 😂
There is SO much homoerotic tension in all of this, especially Major Feedback leaving.
Bromance surpasses romance any day of the week
18:48 ive never laughed so hard about two ppl making point-blank statements about death, to each other, about one’s father being murdered and the other’s dying to suicide.
I have no qualms to say I LOVED THIS SHOW. It happened right after I finally returned to my home in New Orleans a year after Katrina and it was just good ol fun
Bruh, having only seen 10 minutes of footage of this man, I can comfortably say that I would take a bullet for Major Victory.
They literally just had to lie about their names. Give a different name every time you meet someone.
That's why I have like 4 different FAke names
And use only one of them 98% of the time (it's my favorite)
Highkey this would make for a great adaptation where the characters are actually superpowered beings competing for status as an official hero. Stan's persona here could translate really well into a morally ambiguous figure representing the superhero organization, from holding the heroes to a ridiculously high standard to purposefully creating a villain for them to face.
There was an Image Comics series in 2003 called "Wildguard: Casting Call" about a reality TV show to pick five superheroes to form a new super-team. One of the five was actually picked by reader votes.
My local comic book shop, Golden Apple Comics in Los Angeles was in this show! Somewhere I have that comic...not sure anyone remembers it now so immortality may be a stretch.
Oh crap, I remember watching this show with an older friend of mine who owned a comic book store and was o b s e s s e d with this premise. I remember just kinda thinking it was charming, but looking back on that time was pretty special, especially with those folks I watched the show with no longer with us. Really nice pull, Scott.
Why do i feel super nostalgic watching this, without even watching the show ever?
Holy shit I loved this show as a kid. I keep being surprised when Scott talks about shows I grew up with until I realise we’re like the same age
More and more your channel is unearthing forgotten childhood memories. It’s amazing.
Man, I loved this show. I was so sad there wasn't a third season. To this day, I still quote a line from season 2 where Mindset says "I will not play any of your games! THAT IS HOW IT IS SPELLED!!!"
