That sad feeling when "I don't feel like the writers have genuine malice for the property on which they're working" is enough to make you give a series praise.
Exactly... People are lowering their standards just to enjoy a movie or a show... I think we need to start a trend, watch a classic before you watch anything new and maybe after as well... This way, your expectations would be renewed... Movies aren't done for charity... We can't keep allowing them to get away with this shitty stories... The plots of every episode of this show is just swiss cheese with so many plot holes that I can't believe anyone could ever like it... Imagine having this type of low expectations for any other industry like the food industry or pharmacy etc... Why is this nonessential industry getting this kind of leeway to get money from us by doing the lowest minimum... They get paid ridiculous amount of money (and they're asking for more) for this rubbish and with the studios slowly and gradually capitulating, these shit writers are solidifying themselves and their methods even harder so they can't easily be gotten rid off and stories like this would become the future... With no hope of anything getting better... They're literally the only industry that doesn't learn from failure and get promoted by it and if you make a story the fans like, your story gets hijacked from you and given to woke writers to capitalize on the fans you managed to bring in to spread their wokeness to them like they did with west world and now the mandalorian... Let's make a bet, season 2 or 3 would get woker and crappier... It happened with Harley Quinn's animated series as well... You won't die if you don't watch movies or shows, the classics are still there... Leave it to the UA-camr critics, the good ones to entertain you using the crappy stories rather than paying to go watch it yourself and let them tell us when an actually good movie or show comes out to go watch it ourselves rather than jumping on every new series, acting like insane people as we expect something different this time... Just saying..
@@johnnycrown5097 yup, even other reviewers similar to Thorias have indeed lowered their standards. Just because it's not the worst thing ever, doesn't mean it's worth my time or money.
@budgiecat2885 oda is a very big name in Japan... You kinda don't wanna piss people like him off especially since he has a very large fanbase... So he can go against the woke, I think he's the only mangaka who can...
I don't like the new Lois. In the first episode, she lies to Jimmy and Clark about an assignment, getting the two in serious danger, all for her own benefit, but then gets upset when Clark doesn't tell her he's superman. What a selfish prick!
I can't stand when characters feel soo god damn entitled to know every possible secret in another person's life. You know, there's a reason why they kept that secret for soo long.
@@Mordeairayne particularly romantic interests. It's that "I love you so I know what's best" mentality. It is so fuckn cringe. And why does Lois look like a twelve year old boy?
I watched one episode and i was just like "nope". Superman: The Animated Series is still my mind's eye version of Superman and all related characters, and probably always will be.
All I will say about the Brain x Gorilla relationship. It's canon to the comics. And for the show- I actually like it but you can tell that the writers room was probably split between people who loved the comics and wanted to make something faithful to it, and the Woke Tumblr Crowd who hates Superman for being white.
All Kryptonians being warmongers is lifted straight from Invincible, where the analog of Kryptonians (Viltrumites) are all warmongering superhumans...funny how the homage/parody ends up inspiring the original work 😅
kryptonians are never warmongers if they are, why didn't the greenlantern corp stop them and accused them of war crimes? even their deity rao isn't a war god. the warmongers are the race of hawkman, the thanagarian.
I think when people say ''Western animation needs to learn from anime.'' this isn't what they have in mind. They usually mean better animation, better writing, and better action. Not sailor moon-like transformation and ''funny'' faces. It's too anime for me. It tires way too hard to be ‘’kawaii desu’’. Bummer there is no lyrics in the opening and the music doesn't feel like anything Superman. It's just a generic guitar. At least there is an intro instead of just a title card. We need the art of the opening songs back.
"It tires way too hard to be 'kawaii desu.'" Funny, those were my exact same problems with Voltron LD, especially from Season 2 onwards. "Bummer there is no lyrics in the opening and the music doesn't feel like anything Superman. It's just a generic guitar." Superman The Animated Series didn't have lyrics, but the music and visuals alone made up for it.
I've been saying this for a while now; pretty much every single "American Anime" over the last decade is basically made by tumblr for tumblr. Shera, High Guardian Spice, Voltron, Rwby, Legend of Korra, some other crap I can't remember. I think the only one to not fall into that category is CastleVania, though I haven't actually seen it myself. Compare those to the 2000s and early 2010s with shows like Teen Titans, Avatar TLA, The Boondocks, Totally Spies, the OG Ben10, Thunder Cats 2011, and even friggin Kappa Mikey (which I still have a hard time believing actualy existed). Yeah, Teen Titans, TLA, Ben 10, and Thundercats are basically battle shounen, but they all feel like completely different shows made by completely different people. Then you have the other stuff like Totally Spies and especially Boondocks, which appeal to WIDELY different audiences.
@@harlannguyen4048That's because Superman The Animated Seties used the classic Superman theme that has been very iconic ever since the very first Superman movie came out in theaters. Having a Superman with a rocking theme song just doesn't fit the character at all.
Originally when introduced, Superman couldn't actually fly, hence the "able to leap tall buildings in a single bound" reference; he could jump incredibly far, but not truly fly. While invulnerable, he wasn't yet As Strong as eventually he'd Become.
same as Wonder Woman, she couldntt fly. She needed a plane (Jet). Then the JLU and JLA shows came out and she was basically Superman in hotpants and a tiara.
Superman not being able to fly is just a weird mental image to me. Have to run down the street in his underpants and cape, maybe hopping on a train to get somewhere because he wants to avoid putting craters in the ground as he leaps across the country. Supes without flight just seems like he's missing one of his most important abilities.
1:32: to be fair, the gay relationship between The Brain and Monsieur Mallah, was from Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol comics, way back in the mid-to-late 90s, because Doom Patrol always prided itself on being the weirdest comic out there. As for this show, all the race and sexuality-bending and the anime-esque art style, lgbt themes and the gender non-conformity is because this show was made by the same person who created Nimona and that awful She-Ra reboot where all the heroes were remade to look like a Buzzfeed writers room and the show was more focused on shipping, race swapping and making everyone gay instead of actual story. 5:15: Same thing happens in She-Ra. Catra and She-Ra are “endgame”, but Catra is a toxic, abusive stalker who never gets her comeuppance or repents for her sins, because of how “important” it was to have a lesbian “true love’s kiss” save the day in a kid’s show
yeah but when Morison did it it was for shock factor not agenda pushing. AND THAT EXPLAINS A LOT! Actually that explains literally everything! The original She-Ra design had her looking like a real woman, then it was like "nah lets make her look more like a 12 year old boy with long hair!"
I really hate the "I'm offended you didn't tell me your secret" trope. It shocks me that writers haven't realized it's a total dud trope that makes the character unlikeable. Surprise the audience and have Lois immediately understand. Not only does it display insight and intelligence on Lois' part and makes her likeable because she has some understanding of other people. Instead they go with the typical whiny and entitled approach. Everyone that teaches any kind of writing class should be telling their students to kill this trope with fire.
This show actually dismantles that trope pretty well. First it implies that Lois is simply using it because of emotional issues. Before she finds out, she is already talking about how Clark liking her is too good to be true, and there must be a catch. Because she has no confidence that she deserves to be with someone so good, she tries to convince herself that something will go wrong or that she will mess this up. This is actual super realistic for women to act that way. Then when she discovers he is Superman, this plays into her fears, and she believes it really was too good to be true because she convinces herself that him being Superman means Clark was never real, and therefore the Lie wasn't him being Superman, but the Lie was him pretending to love her. This is her emotions trying to find some way out of this relationship because she couldn't accept someone actually loving her (this is also because of her daddy issues I'm guessing). The second way this show dismantles it, is by clearly defining her being upset as her emotions getting the best of her, and having Superman put his foot down and clearly rationalize her fears away and make it clear she was in the wrong for the way she handled the situation. It even has her apologizing for it, and the next episode showing how wrong she was. It even tells her the proper way to handle the situation with Jimmy saying he discovered Clark's secret as well, but instead of confronting him on it, he instead waits on Clark to reveal it on his own terms when he wants to. The show even knocks Lois down a few more pegs, besides having Clark always standing by his principles against her and showing she was in the wrong, but also by claiming she is the worst Lois in the multiverse, that she is so incompetent that she is the only one to not be a successful reporter or have a Pulitzer, despite being older than most were when they got theirs. Then when she discovers another secret of Superman's, she decides to keep it a secret for his sake, showing growth. So, I like that they decided to explicitly not make her a Mary Sue, but instead shows her being young and dumb, but growing more mature because of Clark. It's not the best, mostly because the series is too fast paced for its own good, but there is effort.
@@MrArielK If the secret is bad, she'll be angry. If she finds out you've been cheating on her, yeah she's going to be mad. If she finds out you planned a secret vacation for the two of you to a romantic location, she's going to be happy. Honestly, it's hard to believe anyone is going to be mad about learning they're dating the strongest man on the planet.
Well to be fair she did get over it pretty quickly and i dont feel like they depicted her as right for her actions. I do think her reaction was understandable it seems pretty clear to me she heard it's classified from dad one to many times and developed a complex about it.
Hollywood seems to be putting out this kind of weird message. Tell your secrets. You can trust people you just met. Don't hide anything from the government... I mean your friends. This seems to be the message in almost every superhero story. Really feels like the prepping us for that dystopian future.
@@thefanwithoutaface8105I actually don't mind that they are a couple, but the writers forget that these are supposed to be villains first. Their role should be as the opposing forces while also being threatening. Take that out, and all you have is a push over.
This is such a mixed bag of a show, the animation is good and the music fits the style, I do also like that Clark does good things, because he's a good person. But unfortunately, those things aren't the main focus. Lois hating Clark lying about his secret identity, after lying just to get up in her job, is so contrived and absurd and then the Loisverse just makes it even worse. I don't understand why we need a multiverse THIS QUICKLY. This show could have been a genuine good time, but it just misses the mark. Now do I think this is a complete dumpster fire...no, is it good? Definitely not, but it definitely could've been worse as Thorias pointed out. It feels like the writers room consisted of two factions, fans of the comics and tumbler progressives who were forced to work on the same show, despite wanting to write 2 completely different stories
@@CyborgSelZero exactly, there's at least something here the COULD be great, it was just being executed by people who didn't know how to make those ideas work
The animation in the show is mediocre at best. It's by no means the worst animated show I've ever laid my eyes on. But definitely far from the best. Just looks so weirdly choppy and cheap at times.
@@DmanDice yes she does, but that doesn't make her criticism of Clark anymore justified, particularly because of the reasons the two lies. Lois lied selfishly because she wanted to pursue the story. Clark lied selflessly to keep Lois safe, not to mention Lois had no basis to lie to Clark since they just met, but Clark had reason to think Lois would expose his identity because of comments she made about Superman prior to finding out they are one and the same
I remember a scene in Superman TAS when Lois is on a plane and terrorists hijak it. As soon as one of them points his gun at her, he notices her name badge and said "Lane.... as in....Lois Lane? The dame Superman.... oh no." And she just has this shit eating grin on her face the whole time. As they all freak out, she starts doing her makeup and said something like "I need to look my best when he shows up. He's running late." Of course Kara shows up and Lois does her usual damsel in distress routine, see's Kara and is all "Oh... its YOU! Where's uhh.... where's the big guy?" Total boss bitch energy
@Frieza-yg4zp YEARS ago i wrote a story about a man who ends up on an alien planet and through shenanigans becomes a hero. But he is very anti-hero, he is gay but not like in your face about it. In fact it gets mentioned once when he "comes out" and his friends reply is "yeah dude, I know. I got eyes." He acts just like any other guy. I'd like a way to work in that line, like he is expecting to fight some behemoth of a demon only for it to be some wuss. "Oh come on. I came here to fight a man of steal, not a boy of soy!" I found my old notepads, sketches and timeline ideas back in 2020 when I was cleaning out the loft and scanned hundreds of pages onto the PC. My friends been helping me sift through the crap ideas, we reckon there's several books worth of plots, instead of it becoming a 20K page book.
When we saw Lois having Clark in a headlock in that first picture shown of the show we all knew she was going to be the anchor of the show......UNTIL we saw Clark transform like Sailor Moon LOL
I'll never understand why the creators of these shows are so afraid of creating original characters in these established universes. It's not as if everyone will reject new characters. Worked with Clone wars so the sky is the limit for new characters gaining positive feedback
You should watch Harley Quinn next. After trying to watch that with its endless swearing, boss babe, "men are trash" jokes every 10 seconds, this Superman was a breath of fresh air. Its a little woke, but it feels like it was trying to tell a story first. As opposed to being created solely to force an ideology.
I can't stand the Harley Quinn show, mostly because one of my favorite villains is Poison Ivy and I hate the modern take on her where she's just "Lesbian #2".
I watched a number of clips on UA-cam since it came out to see if it had any merit. It seems the writers' definition of joke is saying the F word loudly (which seems to be more and more common). Well, there was one pretty funny joke where Joker is haranguing Bruce Wayne about the Wayne Enterprise electric car Joker ordered being delayed. So, yeah, I can't imagine many genuinely like the show but rather support it because they're really into the Harley/Ivy relationship.
@@ChrisSuperDude one of many reasons I've grown to dislike her in media now. Ivy used to be complex, but Tumblr repeated the lie of her being a lesbian until people took it as fact. Actual fans know that Ivy cares about one thing. Plants. Period. She's treated Harley as badly, if not worse than the Joker ever did, but somehow they're totally in love?
The fact the show is called 'My Adventures With Superman', seems that Superman is more of a background character and should be focused more on the rest of the cast.
Current show writer "A traditional well adjusted relationship as the core of a show? Well we can't have that!" Sounds like it should have been an elseworlds title. None of the current writers seem to want to tell traditional stories. They'd rather "deconstruct" again. Also Lois in this seems like she's going for "manic pixie girl" in appearance. Kind of glad Lex is absent. Odds are when they bring him in he'll be in a romance triangle with Lois. Thank you Thorias.
@@tylerleach8796of course he didn't... he just saw that lois lane is now slighty darker and completely wrote off the show as "woke garbage" just like all these insane "diversity ruined mah childhood" weirdos
The best way to describe the show is as put something on in the background while you do something else. Like there isn't anything that bad in it eye rolling moments of course having Heatwave changed into a woman even do the design doesn't even look like a muscular woman, league of Loisis being a stupid idea, the handeling of evil superman to name a few but there were some fun stuff in it like Jimmy's personality and actions (which makes him smarter than girl bosses funny enough), Intergang, General, the diffrent take on krypton and some other moments but it could have definetly been better than the show was
I watched the first two episodes out of curiosity and I had a similar experience to the Watchmen TV show from a few years back. Where my expectations were so low, that the fact that the show has some positives, my brain made me think it was the best show ever for a few minutes. I hate to sound like a boomer, but I think these shows are an affect of the celebration of mediocrity that we've had for the last 10-20 years, where if you can at least be semi-competent as a writer, it feels like you're on par with J. Michael Straczynski.
@@robchuk4136 Oh I'm not pretending like it was a great show by any means. What I mean is that I expected the worst thing ever made so when I watched it and could pick out a few things I liked about the show it felt like the best show ever made.
This show is essentially a director jingling keys infront of a bunch babies. The shows fast talking. Interrupting eachother, lame jokes and people talking out loud to themselves
@@unknownfaces7 Honestly, with how many redheads are being replaced by racebent characters, it really seems like Hollywood's got something against redheads.
Kryptonite was introduced in League of Lois episode when they shot him with a Kryptonite ray gun. The peice of kryptonite Clark used to stop the invasion in the finale was introduced in that episode too, after Lois stole the Orb from the League and sees the possible future with Evil Superman, the Kryptonite is shown in the Orb as Mxyzsptlk laughs about seeing Lois figure things out for herself.
5:18 I thought they did that on purpose to sho her flaws. Personally I would of done the same. She has a very obvious complex about lies rooted in her relationship with her father. If there is one change I would have made it would have been her spiraling into it after the pseudo break-up as she tries to find the “truth” about Superman only to realize why he needed it to be a secret when she leads her dad right to him. It sounds better in my head. I would pace it over 2-3 episodes
Nahhh thets good and have her realize how right supermans criticism of her after throwing herself off the roof like flashbacks as she ponders each instance of what he said coming true through her fathers actions and her reckless behavior And an actual apology to supes after
I honestly really like it. Of course I do issues with there not being any metahumans (kinda). I do enjoy the fact that this show gets who Superman is. A man who just wants to help.
Fun fact: The "Kryptonians as conquerors" story beat was done at least once before, specifically in the Flashpoint Beyond storyline in the comics where its revealed that Kal/Clark was supposed to pull an Omni-Man and weaken the planet to prepare for his people's arrival
To be fair, The Brain and Mallah the gorilla are a romantic couple in the Doom Patrol comics so at least the writers got that right. And I like the fact that they wrote Clark as a nice man who genuinely wants to help. It is refreshing to see Superman act like Superman
I think the main thing that really kills this show’s potential is it’s too fast paced. Both in the writing and the relationship aspect! Like this show would’ve been better if season 1 strictly focused on Superman learning his abilities and learning how to control them. While managing b plots with Lois and Jimmy. Then season 2 focus a bit more on the relationship arcs .
I found the show delightful. Not everything has to be serious or gritty. The is a nice dc pallet cleanser. And I honestly never noticed the "forced diversity"
@@kagato3 idk, the fact they didn't mention his last name, is sort of like the General. Some people agreed he was probably Sam Lane, it was also possible the General who's a Captain Atom villain. Lex was also a redhead before he went bald like Alex here.
@@RAINBOWNIGTHMAREPRODUCTIONS I'm not sure I'd call his hair red it looked more brown than red. Lex also has almost nothing to do with Parasite and it is implied that Alex took the other prototypes durring the fight.
Okay, maybe Lex technically appeared, but the point is he wasn't focused on, which I liked. I want to see the rest of the rogues gallery get some attention for a change.
This is yet another good argument against the WGA’s demands for twenty+ people in the writers room. Twenty people insisting that this, that, and the other thing has to be inserted, to satisfy everyone of every possible personality is eighteen people getting my breakfast, lunch and dinner.
The thing is...does the showrunner actually have to listen to the twenty people or just himself/herself/their selves and like two or three others and ignore the rest?
@@RAINBOWNIGTHMAREPRODUCTIONS I don’t think they have to be acknowledged, but I’d imagine they’d try to interject, get a nice pat on the head, and, likely, quit. That’s the best case scenario for the main writers, should it come to that point.
not really the creators of the show aren't going around calling their show the best. they point their lois is the biggest loser in every multiversal she is alive in and that their lois isn't the og by showing the real first lois alongside many others from animation series, the solarmoon thing isn't that big, jimmy is black but that's not his whole character, superman/clark are who we expect him to be a big boyscout.
pretty much, along with the obvious, this is a "anime with Superman" instead of "Superman in an anime", the ideas ain't bad, but like Batman's many adaptations, we wanna jump straight into the action and build things up appropriately, this is why people remember the many Batman shows to other DC heroes, not because he's iconic, but because his shows usually does the basics right even if their meh
Here's the thing they keep doing multiverse stories because. They know fans are going to hate what they're doing to these characters. They say this isn't your version. This is a new version from another earth.
Thanks to them establishing this show is just part of the DC animated multiverse, ive been able to look pass alot of stuff and just enjoy the show as its own thing.
@@kietdo4379 A good show is a good show, dude. Objective quality ain't a contest. Return of the Jedi isn't crap because Empire Strikes Back is better, both are good.
@@tylerleach8796 By replacing "bad" by "not good enough", one can easy accept some things as "it is" without room for improvement. With that mind set, soon, all "bad things" will be labeled as "not good enough" and "good things" will be called "too good to be true".
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! For pointing out how fkn annoying this show is. You perfectly summed up all that is wrong with this show. I LOVE Superman and that is why I hate this fkn show.
The writers need to be exposed to quality writing such as STAS, (and any other DCAU project) SDMI, and perhaps some live action examples made prior to the soy era.
I saw a review from Literature Devil about this and he said that even though much of the "modern-day" tropes are in there, he still is interested in seeing the rest because Superman acts like Superman and Lois, unlike the girlboss trope has accountability and can sometimes have things not go her way.
I really wish they had used Metallo instead of Deathstroke, since Deathstoke is more of a Batman villain, plus it would have been cool to see him decide to "Become" Metallo in an attempt to even the playing field with Superman. Then theres the fact they used Heatwave instead of Volcana, you know the Superman fire villain and not the Flash's. Plus the designs to me are just so... meh or blegh. I get character design is hard as an aspiring artist, but my word do they chose to make them look so weird. Maybe they do it to make the characters stick in your head, but you can do that without making them look like you just pressed "Randomize" on a character creator. I also agreed with what you said about the lack of Lex Luthor being a breath of fresh air, since I feel people often forget there are other villains besides him; and I feel like the Kryptonians being conquerors may be flying a little to close to the Viltrumites from Invincible for my liking, but its still an alright take on the idea. I especially agreed with your take on the Multiverse of Lois bit, since its season 1 and there's no reason to have a multiverse before you even establish the universe first. We've barely gotten to know THESE versions of the characters and now your bringing other versions in. Overall I had to agree that the show just feels like a missed opportunity to tell a decent story, Wokeness issues aside, and that there was a lot of potential that's either being unused or mishandled. Can't say I would have done better, but at this point as you and a lot of others have said, I've seen worse; which is sad in enough itself. Great Video as always, and can't wait for the next one.
You know a show is bad when Max turned it down this series was sold off to AS because they were the only ones who would take it. WB was going to shelve it but AS stepped in and saved it from going the way of Batgirl.
1:30 Yeah, there's gay, and then there's A brain with a gorilla There's not enough gay in the world to make that right. Who was that for? I would actually be offended If they say gay people 🫠🫥🤢🤮
I actually like My Adventures of Superman. Lois and Clark have some good chemistry on this show. Sure it’s a vastly different take on Superman, but I don’t see it as any less extreme than when Teen Titans 2003 and The Batman 2004 tried their hand at anime inspiration.
I would say those two shows you mentioned actually had good designs 99% of the time. This shows designs with maybe superman design getting a pass are flat out awful.
Idk, I'm usually in agreement with you but I can't really get behind this one. I think the romance works. Everytime Lois goes insane, the show makes her apologize. The action is serviceable. Not a fan of the character redesigns and you're 100% on point with the politics (even though the gorilla and brain thing is in comics canon.) I like this take on Superman. He's young. Naive. And they do a pretty good job of showing what "mild-mannered" looks like nowadays. I don't agree that he's a big soy boy just because he's a simp for the girl he's in love with.
Wow. I love this show and I honestly disagree with everything you said in this video dude... I think this show is well-written, creative, action-packed, VERY well-animated and just plain *fun.* I'm looking forward to season 2.
the yellow sun energy is supposed to enhance all his muscles, including his BRAIN, but this is by far the stupidest SuperMan EVER! He makes Bizarro look smart! Hes constantly breaking everyday things with his super strength and nobody is supposed to notice that?! Well Jimmy noticed but didn't say anything...wow 1 person
@@samynov you people as in people that say stupid shit like your original comment. And the fact that you compared that to racism further justifies my "drowned in a glass of water" line.
1:32 Actually, that's been the not-so-subtext between those particular characters for at least a decade. They were probably chosen for specifically that reason.
1. I honestly really didn't get any of the "toxic" aspects of the relationship you mentioned. Yeah, I feel that them having Lois figure out Clark is Superman so early was a mistake, so was the multiverse even if it did help introduce Myx; and while it was annoying that she got mad at him for keeping his secret, the writers at least get on with it and have them work through it like freaking adults. I also really appreciate that Lois likes CLARK and not Superman. That's a distinction that a lot of adaptations mess up on. Everything in-between was fine tho and even Lois having trust issues this massive makes sense given what her dad does. 2. Everything else is spot on tho. The Kryptonian tech and the Zero Day plot was the main thing that keeps you invested. Clark slowly discovering his powers one by one was interesting and on a technical level the show was great. Its just a shame that the villains felt a little half-baked to be honest. The only ones that were done any justice were Paraysite and Slade. Waller was great tho. Pretty accurate to how she's usually portrayed. I also appreciate this show's version of Jimmy being an absolute bro rather than feeling like the third wheel
Say what you want about this version of Lois, but they actually improved on Jimmy’s character. He knew Clark was Superman and didn’t make a big deal about it.
Even with it’s flaws I enjoy and love this Series, it gives me Hope that Superman can be Adapted Differently with the Same Spirit of the Lore, but that’s just me.
I've missed your reviews, Thorias! I haven't been getting notifications from your channel. Thought maybe you were taking a break. The good news is that there's plenty for me to watch. Going to catch up. 🍷😋👍

I can't stand when characters feel soo god damn entitled to know every possible secret in another person's life. You know, there's a reason why they kept that secret for soo long.
@@Mordeairayne particularly romantic interests. It's that "I love you so I know what's best" mentality. It is so fuckn cringe.
And why does Lois look like a twelve year old boy?
I watched one episode and i was just like "nope". Superman: The Animated Series is still my mind's eye version of Superman and all related characters, and probably always will be.
It’s not that bad bro 😭
that Jack Kirby inspired character, sacrificing himself! still feel that!
Bro i think even the people who made didn’t even like the show
They saw it as homework
just such a bad take its staggering
All I will say about the Brain x Gorilla relationship. It's canon to the comics. And for the show- I actually like it but you can tell that the writers room was probably split between people who loved the comics and wanted to make something faithful to it, and the Woke Tumblr Crowd who hates Superman for being white.
All Kryptonians being warmongers is lifted straight from Invincible, where the analog of Kryptonians (Viltrumites) are all warmongering superhumans...funny how the homage/parody ends up inspiring the original work 😅
Its also comic book accurate
theres one comic book series that has clark gay, just cause its in a shitty comic that some nuwriter made doesnt make it cannon. @@extoyshred2957
And that is lifted from dragon ball...
Also that is stealing not inspiring!
@@Raximus3000 proof ?
kryptonians are never warmongers if they are, why didn't the greenlantern corp stop them and accused them of war crimes? even their deity rao isn't a war god. the warmongers are the race of hawkman, the thanagarian.
I think when people say ''Western animation needs to learn from anime.'' this isn't what they have in mind. They usually mean better animation, better writing, and better action. Not sailor moon-like transformation and ''funny'' faces.
It's too anime for me. It tires way too hard to be ‘’kawaii desu’’. Bummer there is no lyrics in the opening and the music doesn't feel like anything Superman. It's just a generic guitar. At least there is an intro instead of just a title card. We need the art of the opening songs back.
"It tires way too hard to be 'kawaii desu.'"
Funny, those were my exact same problems with Voltron LD, especially from Season 2 onwards.
"Bummer there is no lyrics in the opening and the music doesn't feel like anything Superman. It's just a generic guitar."
Superman The Animated Series didn't have lyrics, but the music and visuals alone made up for it.
I've been saying this for a while now; pretty much every single "American Anime" over the last decade is basically made by tumblr for tumblr. Shera, High Guardian Spice, Voltron, Rwby, Legend of Korra, some other crap I can't remember. I think the only one to not fall into that category is CastleVania, though I haven't actually seen it myself.
Compare those to the 2000s and early 2010s with shows like Teen Titans, Avatar TLA, The Boondocks, Totally Spies, the OG Ben10, Thunder Cats 2011, and even friggin Kappa Mikey (which I still have a hard time believing actualy existed). Yeah, Teen Titans, TLA, Ben 10, and Thundercats are basically battle shounen, but they all feel like completely different shows made by completely different people. Then you have the other stuff like Totally Spies and especially Boondocks, which appeal to WIDELY different audiences.
@@s3studios597 I would like to also add WITCH and Winx Club for magical girl anime.
@@harlannguyen4048That's because Superman The Animated Seties used the classic Superman theme that has been very iconic ever since the very first Superman movie came out in theaters. Having a Superman with a rocking theme song just doesn't fit the character at all.
Originally when introduced, Superman couldn't actually fly, hence the "able to leap tall buildings in a single bound" reference; he could jump incredibly far, but not truly fly. While invulnerable, he wasn't yet As Strong as eventually he'd Become.
True, I saw some episodes of a very old Superman show, and he couldn't fly there, but he jumped very far, like The Hulk.
same as Wonder Woman, she couldntt fly. She needed a plane (Jet). Then the JLU and JLA shows came out and she was basically Superman in hotpants and a tiara.
Yes, the old Max Fleischer Superman, they're beautifully animated.
@@AzguardMike Or as Reverse Wonder Woman (Adult Swim) would say: "Now, where did i leave my VISIBLE Jet? Oh, there it is! Easy to find!"
Superman not being able to fly is just a weird mental image to me. Have to run down the street in his underpants and cape, maybe hopping on a train to get somewhere because he wants to avoid putting craters in the ground as he leaps across the country. Supes without flight just seems like he's missing one of his most important abilities.
This Lois has New 52 Lois levels of jerkassery, and just like The New 52, this Lois needed a good punch from Lana Lang.
1:32: to be fair, the gay relationship between The Brain and Monsieur Mallah, was from Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol comics, way back in the mid-to-late 90s, because Doom Patrol always prided itself on being the weirdest comic out there.
As for this show, all the race and sexuality-bending and the anime-esque art style, lgbt themes and the gender non-conformity is because this show was made by the same person who created Nimona and that awful She-Ra reboot where all the heroes were remade to look like a Buzzfeed writers room and the show was more focused on shipping, race swapping and making everyone gay instead of actual story.
5:15: Same thing happens in She-Ra. Catra and She-Ra are “endgame”, but Catra is a toxic, abusive stalker who never gets her comeuppance or repents for her sins, because of how “important” it was to have a lesbian “true love’s kiss” save the day in a kid’s show
yeah but when Morison did it it was for shock factor not agenda pushing.
AND THAT EXPLAINS A LOT! Actually that explains literally everything! The original She-Ra design had her looking like a real woman, then it was like "nah lets make her look more like a 12 year old boy with long hair!"
Well the brain and mallah are together in the comics so this wasn’t made out of nowhere.
Yes, it was, considering the fact that there’s post supposed to be evil as hell
are you implying these writers read the comics?! its a unfortunate coincidence!
I really hate the "I'm offended you didn't tell me your secret" trope. It shocks me that writers haven't realized it's a total dud trope that makes the character unlikeable. Surprise the audience and have Lois immediately understand. Not only does it display insight and intelligence on Lois' part and makes her likeable because she has some understanding of other people. Instead they go with the typical whiny and entitled approach.
Everyone that teaches any kind of writing class should be telling their students to kill this trope with fire.
This show actually dismantles that trope pretty well.
First it implies that Lois is simply using it because of emotional issues. Before she finds out, she is already talking about how Clark liking her is too good to be true, and there must be a catch. Because she has no confidence that she deserves to be with someone so good, she tries to convince herself that something will go wrong or that she will mess this up. This is actual super realistic for women to act that way. Then when she discovers he is Superman, this plays into her fears, and she believes it really was too good to be true because she convinces herself that him being Superman means Clark was never real, and therefore the Lie wasn't him being Superman, but the Lie was him pretending to love her. This is her emotions trying to find some way out of this relationship because she couldn't accept someone actually loving her (this is also because of her daddy issues I'm guessing).
The second way this show dismantles it, is by clearly defining her being upset as her emotions getting the best of her, and having Superman put his foot down and clearly rationalize her fears away and make it clear she was in the wrong for the way she handled the situation. It even has her apologizing for it, and the next episode showing how wrong she was. It even tells her the proper way to handle the situation with Jimmy saying he discovered Clark's secret as well, but instead of confronting him on it, he instead waits on Clark to reveal it on his own terms when he wants to.
The show even knocks Lois down a few more pegs, besides having Clark always standing by his principles against her and showing she was in the wrong, but also by claiming she is the worst Lois in the multiverse, that she is so incompetent that she is the only one to not be a successful reporter or have a Pulitzer, despite being older than most were when they got theirs. Then when she discovers another secret of Superman's, she decides to keep it a secret for his sake, showing growth.
So, I like that they decided to explicitly not make her a Mary Sue, but instead shows her being young and dumb, but growing more mature because of Clark. It's not the best, mostly because the series is too fast paced for its own good, but there is effort.
@@GBDupreeyou put more effort in your defence than the writers ever did in the story...
You never had a gf right. Try lying to her and telling is for the better and see what happens
@@MrArielK If the secret is bad, she'll be angry. If she finds out you've been cheating on her, yeah she's going to be mad. If she finds out you planned a secret vacation for the two of you to a romantic location, she's going to be happy. Honestly, it's hard to believe anyone is going to be mad about learning they're dating the strongest man on the planet.
Well to be fair she did get over it pretty quickly and i dont feel like they depicted her as right for her actions. I do think her reaction was understandable it seems pretty clear to me she heard it's classified from dad one to many times and developed a complex about it.
Hollywood seems to be putting out this kind of weird message. Tell your secrets. You can trust people you just met. Don't hide anything from the government... I mean your friends. This seems to be the message in almost every superhero story. Really feels like the prepping us for that dystopian future.
Keeping a secret identity and going by a superhero codename is "corny and lame". Nobody would do thst in the resl world!

Actually, the Brain and Ape thing is one that has been around a long time actually.

@@thefanwithoutaface8105I actually don't mind that they are a couple, but the writers forget that these are supposed to be villains first. Their role should be as the opposing forces while also being threatening. Take that out, and all you have is a push over.
@@kristofgriffin384 Main issue is one is a human and one is an actual gorilla. Which makes it weird.
Still terrible
I really hate how London Tipton has become the standard
This is such a mixed bag of a show, the animation is good and the music fits the style, I do also like that Clark does good things, because he's a good person. But unfortunately, those things aren't the main focus.
Lois hating Clark lying about his secret identity, after lying just to get up in her job, is so contrived and absurd and then the Loisverse just makes it even worse. I don't understand why we need a multiverse THIS QUICKLY.
This show could have been a genuine good time, but it just misses the mark. Now do I think this is a complete dumpster fire...no, is it good? Definitely not, but it definitely could've been worse as Thorias pointed out.
It feels like the writers room consisted of two factions, fans of the comics and tumbler progressives who were forced to work on the same show, despite wanting to write 2 completely different stories
I think these shows are the most frustrating ones. Where you can clearly see the potential their stories entail, but never actually make use of.
@@CyborgSelZero exactly, there's at least something here the COULD be great, it was just being executed by people who didn't know how to make those ideas work
The animation in the show is mediocre at best. It's by no means the worst animated show I've ever laid my eyes on. But definitely far from the best. Just looks so weirdly choppy and cheap at times.
Lois says sorry..THAT is probably the biggest difference between other woke shows.
@@DmanDice yes she does, but that doesn't make her criticism of Clark anymore justified, particularly because of the reasons the two lies. Lois lied selfishly because she wanted to pursue the story. Clark lied selflessly to keep Lois safe, not to mention Lois had no basis to lie to Clark since they just met, but Clark had reason to think Lois would expose his identity because of comments she made about Superman prior to finding out they are one and the same
the real lois lane is a girl LEADER, never a girl boss. this is a person who actually watched the lois and clark tv show in the 90's.
Leaders are followed. Not bosses
I remember a scene in Superman TAS when Lois is on a plane and terrorists hijak it. As soon as one of them points his gun at her, he notices her name badge and said "Lane.... as in....Lois Lane? The dame Superman.... oh no." And she just has this shit eating grin on her face the whole time. As they all freak out, she starts doing her makeup and said something like "I need to look my best when he shows up. He's running late." Of course Kara shows up and Lois does her usual damsel in distress routine, see's Kara and is all "Oh... its YOU! Where's uhh.... where's the big guy?" Total boss bitch energy

GREAT THORIAS UNLIMITED MY My adventures WITH SUPERMAN REVIEW 👌.
@Frieza-yg4zp YEARS ago i wrote a story about a man who ends up on an alien planet and through shenanigans becomes a hero. But he is very anti-hero, he is gay but not like in your face about it. In fact it gets mentioned once when he "comes out" and his friends reply is "yeah dude, I know. I got eyes." He acts just like any other guy. I'd like a way to work in that line, like he is expecting to fight some behemoth of a demon only for it to be some wuss. "Oh come on. I came here to fight a man of steal, not a boy of soy!"
I found my old notepads, sketches and timeline ideas back in 2020 when I was cleaning out the loft and scanned hundreds of pages onto the PC. My friends been helping me sift through the crap ideas, we reckon there's several books worth of plots, instead of it becoming a 20K page book.
There's been something off in DC animation for years. To their credit, they've managed to keep it sorta under wraps for longer than most, but yeah.
Monsieur Mallah and The Brain have had a relationship for years. That’s not something they came up with for the show.
2:50 I completely AGREE! The show has Velma levels of diversity and inclusion but for some reason it doesn't make the show 100% dogshit 😂
It's almost like diversity and inclusion aren't the problem...
Almost like bad writing is what actually made Velma terrible, and the diverse looking characters are just insignificant.
Its not mean spirited or appears to hate men.
While it is refreshing to have a "woke" show that isn't mean spirited, this shouldn't be the new standard.
@@DmanDice Rather is doesn't appear to hate soy boys. I wouldn't consider many of the "likeable" characters to be "men."
When we saw Lois having Clark in a headlock in that first picture shown of the show we all knew she was going to be the anchor of the show......UNTIL we saw Clark transform like Sailor Moon LOL
So many shows do that Sailor Moon-style transformation sequence now. It's bizarre.
I'll never understand why the creators of these shows are so afraid of creating original characters in these established universes.
It's not as if everyone will reject new characters.

You should watch Harley Quinn next. After trying to watch that with its endless swearing, boss babe, "men are trash" jokes every 10 seconds, this Superman was a breath of fresh air. Its a little woke, but it feels like it was trying to tell a story first. As opposed to being created solely to force an ideology.
Agreed. I really don’t understand why people praise that moronic show.
@@wesleygriffiths8748
Has to be feminists and young men that submit to their gfs.
I can't stand the Harley Quinn show, mostly because one of my favorite villains is Poison Ivy and I hate the modern take on her where she's just "Lesbian #2".
I watched a number of clips on UA-cam since it came out to see if it had any merit. It seems the writers' definition of joke is saying the F word loudly (which seems to be more and more common). Well, there was one pretty funny joke where Joker is haranguing Bruce Wayne about the Wayne Enterprise electric car Joker ordered being delayed.
So, yeah, I can't imagine many genuinely like the show but rather support it because they're really into the Harley/Ivy relationship.
@@ChrisSuperDude one of many reasons I've grown to dislike her in media now. Ivy used to be complex, but Tumblr repeated the lie of her being a lesbian until people took it as fact.
Actual fans know that Ivy cares about one thing. Plants. Period. She's treated Harley as badly, if not worse than the Joker ever did, but somehow they're totally in love?
The fact the show is called 'My Adventures With Superman', seems that Superman is more of a background character and should be focused more on the rest of the cast.
Superman is def not a background character though
1:33
That is actualy canon with DC comics with the Brain and Monsieur Malard and it is creepy!
Omni Man would COOK this version of superman.
No argument here.
does Homelander too?
This Superman is so much of a good guy that just seeing him would make The Devastator stop and rethink his actions.
its bird! It's a plane! No, It's soyman!
Why does Lois look like a teenager instead of a woman? It’s kind of unsettling.
Current show writer "A traditional well adjusted relationship as the core of a show? Well we can't have that!" Sounds like it should have been an elseworlds title. None of the current writers seem to want to tell traditional stories. They'd rather "deconstruct" again. Also Lois in this seems like she's going for "manic pixie girl" in appearance. Kind of glad Lex is absent. Odds are when they bring him in he'll be in a romance triangle with Lois. Thank you Thorias.
…did you even watch the show?
@@tylerleach8796of course he didn't... he just saw that lois lane is now slighty darker and completely wrote off the show as "woke garbage" just like all these insane "diversity ruined mah childhood" weirdos
The best way to describe the show is as put something on in the background while you do something else. Like there isn't anything that bad in it eye rolling moments of course having Heatwave changed into a woman even do the design doesn't even look like a muscular woman, league of Loisis being a stupid idea, the handeling of evil superman to name a few but there were some fun stuff in it like Jimmy's personality and actions (which makes him smarter than girl bosses funny enough), Intergang, General, the diffrent take on krypton and some other moments but it could have definetly been better than the show was

Say you never watched it without saying you never watched it.
I watched the first two episodes out of curiosity and I had a similar experience to the Watchmen TV show from a few years back. Where my expectations were so low, that the fact that the show has some positives, my brain made me think it was the best show ever for a few minutes. I hate to sound like a boomer, but I think these shows are an affect of the celebration of mediocrity that we've had for the last 10-20 years, where if you can at least be semi-competent as a writer, it feels like you're on par with J. Michael Straczynski.
That's it, there's one writer who knows how to write superman semi-competently and then everything else is mediocre at best

Kryptonite was introduced in League of Lois episode when they shot him with a Kryptonite ray gun.

5:18 I thought they did that on purpose to sho her flaws. Personally I would of done the same. She has a very obvious complex about lies rooted in her relationship with her father. If there is one change I would have made it would have been her spiraling into it after the pseudo break-up as she tries to find the “truth” about Superman only to realize why he needed it to be a secret when she leads her dad right to him. It sounds better in my head. I would pace it over 2-3 episodes

The "Kryptonians as conquerors" story beat was done at least once before, specifically in the Flashpoint Beyond storyline in the comics where its revealed that Kal/Clark was supposed to pull an Omni-Man and weaken the planet to prepare for his people's arrival
To be fair, The Brain and Mallah the gorilla are a romantic couple in the Doom Patrol comics so at least the writers got that right. And I like the fact that they wrote Clark as a nice man who genuinely wants to help. It is refreshing to see Superman act like Superman
Another great review from the most fair and honest reviewer on the ‘Tube. Great work, Thorias. BTW, we need some more live streams!
Livestreams would be tough right now. My voice just doesn't last very long. I probably need to go back to the doctor.
I think the main thing that really kills this show’s potential is it’s too fast paced. Both in the writing and the relationship aspect!
Like this show would’ve been better if season 1 strictly focused on Superman learning his abilities and learning how to control them. While managing b plots with Lois and Jimmy. Then season 2 focus a bit more on the relationship arcs .

not really the creators of the show aren't going around calling their show the best. they point their lois is the biggest loser in every multiversal she is alive in and that their lois isn't the og by showing the real first lois alongside many others from animation series, the solarmoon thing isn't that big, jimmy is black but that's not his whole character, superman/clark are who we expect him to be a big boyscout.
Well it already has a hatedom on par with those…
pretty much, along with the obvious, this is a "anime with Superman" instead of "Superman in an anime", the ideas ain't bad, but like Batman's many adaptations, we wanna jump straight into the action and build things up appropriately, this is why people remember the many Batman shows to other DC heroes, not because he's iconic, but because his shows usually does the basics right even if their meh

@@latviandragon2718 Not outdated. Classic.
have you seen social media for the past few days when this released?

I really wish they had used Metallo instead of Deathstroke, since Deathstoke is more of a Batman villain, plus it would have been cool to see him decide to "Become" Metallo in an attempt to even the playing field with Superman. Then theres the fact they used Heatwave instead of Volcana, you know the Superman fire villain and not the Flash's.
Plus the designs to me are just so... meh or blegh. I get character design is hard as an aspiring artist, but my word do they chose to make them look so weird. Maybe they do it to make the characters stick in your head, but you can do that without making them look like you just pressed "Randomize" on a character creator.
I also agreed with what you said about the lack of Lex Luthor being a breath of fresh air, since I feel people often forget there are other villains besides him; and I feel like the Kryptonians being conquerors may be flying a little to close to the Viltrumites from Invincible for my liking, but its still an alright take on the idea.
I especially agreed with your take on the Multiverse of Lois bit, since its season 1 and there's no reason to have a multiverse before you even establish the universe first. We've barely gotten to know THESE versions of the characters and now your bringing other versions in.
Overall I had to agree that the show just feels like a missed opportunity to tell a decent story, Wokeness issues aside, and that there was a lot of potential that's either being unused or mishandled.
Can't say I would have done better, but at this point as you and a lot of others have said, I've seen worse; which is sad in enough itself.

You know a show is bad when Max turned it down this series was sold off to AS because they were the only ones who would take it. WB was going to shelve it but AS stepped in and saved it from going the way of Batgirl.
It’s literally on Max
@@lonniegabbieAnd it got greenlit for season 2!!!
Can we talk about how this version of Superman is basically a femboy version of Sailor Moon?
“Femboy?” Clark’s built like a brick shithouse in this show, sit down.
1:30 Yeah, there's gay, and then there's A brain with a gorilla There's not enough gay in the world to make that right. Who was that for? I would actually be offended If they say gay people 🫠🫥🤢🤮
I saw a preview of this show and went, "Nope".
Thanks for making my prediction of this show to be correct.
I actually like My Adventures of Superman. Lois and Clark have some good chemistry on this show. Sure it’s a vastly different take on Superman, but I don’t see it as any less extreme than when Teen Titans 2003 and The Batman 2004 tried their hand at anime inspiration.
I would say those two shows you mentioned actually had good designs 99% of the time. This shows designs with maybe superman design getting a pass are flat out awful.
Well, it's official: Kryptonians are going extinct.
Idk, I'm usually in agreement with you but I can't really get behind this one.
I think the romance works. Everytime Lois goes insane, the show makes her apologize. The action is serviceable.
Not a fan of the character redesigns and you're 100% on point with the politics (even though the gorilla and brain thing is in comics canon.)
I like this take on Superman. He's young. Naive. And they do a pretty good job of showing what "mild-mannered" looks like nowadays. I don't agree that he's a big soy boy just because he's a simp for the girl he's in love with.
it's the faux wannabe "anime" that made me erk. remember when dc cartoons has their own ORIGINAL animation standards? how the mighty has fallen.
Yeah, the amine style in the show is super bland tbh

Wow. I love this show and I honestly disagree with everything you said in this video dude... I think this show is well-written, creative, action-packed, VERY well-animated and just plain *fun.* I'm looking forward to season 2.
🤡🤡🤡🤡
I think we should all appreciate that at the very least, this show is made by people who actually care! That is rare in Hollywood!
the yellow sun energy is supposed to enhance all his muscles, including his BRAIN, but this is by far the stupidest SuperMan EVER! He makes Bizarro look smart! Hes constantly breaking everyday things with his super strength and nobody is supposed to notice that?! Well Jimmy noticed but didn't say anything...wow 1 person
Wanna catch a weird oversight? There’s a scene with him as Clark that shows he *actually needs his glasses*
What??
@@robchuk4136 WHAT!? why do they higher people who hate the source material?!
Hollywood is sooooo deep in the alphabet community, they don't even remember what a Straight relationship is
…literally the main relationship in this show is a straight one. How you people have not drowned in a glass of water yet is astounding…
WOW.. You PEOPLE... wow.. Irony..
want to specify the People you're talking about here chef.. or is Racism a second nature for you
@@samynov you people as in people that say stupid shit like your original comment. And the fact that you compared that to racism further justifies my "drowned in a glass of water" line.
THIS...THIS IS ON ADULT SWIM😮 my god...how the mighty have fallen 😢
Oh the dramatics ....

Actually, that's been the not-so-subtext between those particular characters for at least a decade.
They were probably chosen for specifically that reason.

Great video as always! 👍
1. I honestly really didn't get any of the "toxic" aspects of the relationship you mentioned.
Yeah, I feel that them having Lois figure out Clark is Superman so early was a mistake, so was the multiverse even if it did help introduce Myx; and while it was annoying that she got mad at him for keeping his secret, the writers at least get on with it and have them work through it like freaking adults.
I also really appreciate that Lois likes CLARK and not Superman. That's a distinction that a lot of adaptations mess up on.
Everything in-between was fine tho and even Lois having trust issues this massive makes sense given what her dad does.
2. Everything else is spot on tho.
The Kryptonian tech and the Zero Day plot was the main thing that keeps you invested.
Clark slowly discovering his powers one by one was interesting and on a technical level the show was great.
Its just a shame that the villains felt a little half-baked to be honest. The only ones that were done any justice were Paraysite and Slade. Waller was great tho. Pretty accurate to how she's usually portrayed.
I also appreciate this show's version of Jimmy being an absolute bro rather than feeling like the third wheel
Say what you want about this version of Lois, but they actually improved on Jimmy’s character. He knew Clark was Superman and didn’t make a big deal about it.
That was a really good, honest & well balanced new tv series review. Thorias. I might give this a watch myself. :)
Even with it’s flaws I enjoy and love this Series, it gives me Hope that Superman can be Adapted Differently with the Same Spirit of the Lore, but that’s just me.
"Love"? U have low standards for love then.
8:01 He looks like Clark Kent if he did subtle crossdressing.
crossdressing is when tshirt
It's a shame your channel hasn't already reached half a million subscribers.
When things have gotten so bad that Im simply glad to have Lois and Clark still be Straight, there's definitely a problem in today's society.
This dude is NOT Superman. His moral compass gets compromised as soon as he thinks he's hurt Lois' feelings.
I've missed your reviews, Thorias! I haven't been getting notifications from your channel. Thought maybe you were taking a break. The good news is that there's plenty for me to watch. Going to catch up. 🍷😋👍
Man this did not age well
I couldn’t even finish the first episode of this show this is the most beta male Superman I’ve ever seen
Apparently the brain and gorilla relationship has been a thing the comics for ages.
