In defense of the glasses, I think his complete change in attitude, posture, voice and generally different mannerisms that made the disguise work. I feel like the point is to make sure he’s the literal last person you’d expect to be Superman. Still dumb but I think that’s what the Original artists and writers were going for
To be fair henry tested this out and no one recognized him. They DO work.
Yeah, exactly this. People are so hung up on this trope like it's SO illogical.
@@SupermanYT. hell even christopher reeves tested this and no one recognized him
I think also supergirl tv show brought up a point, it's not that no one recognizes her or superman, it's that no one thinks they can be the same person. Even if you relaize, "Hey clark kent looks like superman." they be like, "But would believe that clumsy oaf is superman."
I feel like an honorable mention should go to that scene in Superman 2 when he throws the S on his chest at one of the Zod gang and it turns into a big plastic sheet, stops him for a second, then disappears. I mean, wtf was that? When has he ever done that before or since?
It was referenced in Family Guy and Justice League Action.
I think it's the superman equivalent of a batarang. It's a surprise that he has a gadget as well as his powers to fend off Non. It's never used again and we don't ever see superman use gadgets since his powers are equal to Zod, Ursa and Non.
I feel like that shield was a suggestion not to add that got ignored.
Excellent point.
Now we can add "Martha!" to this list.
EDIT: And let's also leave room on this list for Superman's upper lip in Justice League.
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME!?!?!?!?! It just reminds me of that horrid scene.
Benjamin Abramowitz Martha Stewart????
Benjamin Abramowitz Its better than Im gonna fly backwards in time to save Lois, screw my loving father that died of a heart attack.
No it wasn't Renaldy. He saved Lois. He didn't stop bring back his dad, but neither did he erase Hiter from history or anything.
He only saved someone who was young, healthy and didn't change too much.
Cyborg's sweatshirt in Justice League is #1 of "Top 11 Best DC Moments"
That made me feel some sort of way
It's amazing that Doug Walker made that memory erasing kiss joke before Robot Chicken did.
“You should sue somebody”
I wonder how he reacted to this
I’d say Robot Chicken did it differently enough for it to work just as well
Adventure Time did the reverse.
few things to add now:
-The wall rebuilding vision from Superman IV
-"Save Martha" from BvS
-George Kent saying that he should "maybe" let kids die and let him die in a tornado from Man of Steel
-His death from BvS
-Lex Luther combining his DNA with Zods corpse somehow creating Doomsday
-Jesse Eissenberg as Lex Luther
You don't understand the Martha scene. When Batman hears his mother's name, he realizes he became the monster he thought Superman... okay, I can't even get through that, it's contrived to the point of actually being comical. What were they thinking? Was the idea "ehh, fanboys will rationalize it"?
I'd also add the Superman resurrection scene from Justice League. If you haven't seen the movie yet, it's no surprise that Superman comes back, but his revival is almost as bad as the Martha scene.
Add the scene in MOS where he destroys a docking military drone and declaring himself a free agent above government interference. What the actual fuck
I agree with you on Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor. That was a terrible casting choice. You know how they had Jeremy Irons play Alfred in Batman vs. Superman? Well I think they should have cast Irons as Lex Luthor and had someone else play Alfred. What do you think?
Michael Herrera Michael Ironside would've been my first choice for Luthor. I'm okay with Irons as Alfred
Oh okay
The NC forgot the by far dumbest scene, as Superman rebuilt the Chinese Wall with his "Repair view".
Ikr wtf
Gerald Kitzmüller That is what we call Silver age superman writing. Issue gets fixed with magical tissue
Wait what?
Lol. Really? People complaining about a scene that just a few seconds. Yes, it’s dumb. But is it really worth complaining over?
@@hunterolaughlin Who complains? This scene is hiraliously stupid! I love it! :)
Actually, Robot Chicken's done the 'kissing villains' idea.
Superman: "I should really use that power more often."
I think they did it after this episode tbh...huh Robot Chicken does pay attention
Critic did it better
thats a dumb sentence
RIP, Margot Kidder. Now Lois and Clark are together again.
So is Richard Donner
Rest in peace Them.
As chuck Norris and his wife from that nature movie
Brandon Routh as Superman in Crisis on Infinite Earths was AWESOME!!! Also in that event, Jon Cryer as LEX LUTHOR was also frickin' AMAZING!!!
I'm sure people have pointed this out before. But there is a lot more that goes into the Superman disguise other than just the Glasses. Kal El actually took acting classes to better perfect his public portrayal of the characters he wheres.
That's right.
Both Superman, and the Reporter version of Clark Kent, are two different masks for the same person.
But that alone isn't enough to justify it.
We as an audience have an advantage to figuring out that Clark Kent is Superman:
"We know that Clark Kent is Superman."
That may seem cheap, and it kind of is, but it's valid. In the universe of the Superman character, Lay people aren't going to suspect that Superman is anything other than Superman. Why would they? Why would someone who can fly and (well do everything he can do) EVER want to be normal. There is no reason to suspect that Superman is anything other than that. SUPER.
Clark has also taken meticulous counter measures to ensure that both he and Superman appear at the same time. Even having Superman save Clark at several different points.
He always has an alibi for his disappearances as well.
He wears tailored baggy clothes to make himself look frail, slouches, talks in a higher octave, and acts clumsy and submissive. Those facts alone would prevent anyone from ever suspecting anything.
He parts his hair to a different side, and wears glasses. The icing on the cake.
-Have you ever seen someone without their glasses that your used to seeing them with, They look pretty weird huh? Now what if he/she parted his hair to a completely different side? Stood taller? Looked much more fit and healthy? Wrote with a different dominant hand? Talked in a lower octave? What about all of those at once?
- It would probably take you maybe even a few minutes to recognize them. But in this circumstance you have the advantage of knowing that that id your friend. Now what happens if your friend walks in the door while your looking at this other person?
Superman's disguise is a better disguise than even Batman's. Batman wears a mask, therefore he has something to hide. Superman, simply put, doesn't.
Human Psychology alone allows Clark's identity to remain a secret. Let alone his subconscious, passive, always-active, intrusive, telepathic persuasion.
Oh yeah, BTW - he has that power too.
I actually do agree with you on that. I have a funny story regarding seeing someone with/without glasses for the first time. I never wore glasses till my late 20s and also dressed to work in a casual way and wearing hair net as I was working in food processing company in stock control chill. After some time I got promoted to cost accountant and moved to front office which was distant from where I used to work so naturally didn't bump into people from my old department that often coz there were two separate buildings with their own entries and canteens. I started to wear shirt and tie, put a bit of gel on my hair (no more hair nets) plus after some time I had to put on glasses as my eye sight got worse. One day I passed one of my colleagues I used to see quite often in the chill, he looked at me but didn't say anything, I said "Hi", and then he stopped and replied and mentioned he didn't recognise me at first because of the glasses, hair and smart clothes. So I just smiled and said "and people say Superman's disguise is dump". So if you apply this real life situation to comic book world it makes perfect sense (and your other points are also good).
I also heard that his glasses make his eyes look like they're a different color.
#12 Superman in the Silver Age: his superpower was super everything that his writers felt like to solve his problems that he just use once and never mentioned again.
Yuka's Lover Bro... The argument is done. Stop it. Silver age beats everyone - they were all one shots. Goku beats new 52 Superman, and Superboy Prime destroys everything as long as the Flash isn't involved.
Yuka's Lover Honestly, dude, I didn't even mean to come at you like that. I was auto-trolling, and I think I need to get out of UA-cam's comment section for today. The amount of people who probably don't read very often hurts my face. A lot.
@@deazy6453 Bronze Age Cyborg beats my ovaries
Brandon Roth was 26 when he played Superman. Reeves was 24. Roth might be baby faced but he technically was older than Reeves at time of filming. Kate Bosthworth was only 23 though. Margot Kidder was 28 at the time of the first film. So for Lois to have has a five year old Roth’s Superman knocked her up when she was 17.
"YOU BLEW UP THE WAH WAH MACHINE!" 😂😂
I’ll fix it.
i honestly prefer kevin spacey over jesse einsenburg as lex luthor
I think all of us do.
Jesse Eisenberg did a better Joker or Riddler
@@unwelldanny7108 Joker maybe riddler i can see it.
Not now lmao
I’m more of a Michael Rossenbaum fan, TBH
I just found out that the kid at Niagara Falls is Hadley Kay, the voice of Dark Heart from Care Bears 2.
Don't you mean DAARRRRK HEEAAAARRRRRRT?
What a career.
“Time for a game of disappearing bears.”
Nice eyeliner
Holly shit! I just saw that now :o
Yeah, the reason he has eyeliner on, is because he was doing a sketch before the countdown, which he forgot to remove it.
Eire La Yeah, I noticed that too!
Eire La he talked about that. He said it was makeup for a stupid sketch that was about jokers brother. He tried to clean it off and that's the best he did.
I suppose this was one of Doug's emo phases.
I also always thought the scene from Superman where he makes the Earth spin backwards was dumb, but I saw the movie just recently and I have a theory; he does not make the Earth go the other way, which would cause catastrophic consequences, but rather he goes so fast he himself goes back in time somehow, and, from his point of view, the Earth seems to spin the other way. That's why we don't see Superman kill the missiles again, or save Jimmy Olsen or the small town from being flooded, because by the time he is saving Lois, a past version of himself is actually doing those things too. Does that make sense?
James McDohl But that still leaves the problem of the two supermen in the same timeline.
maybe past superman noticed, and just decided to go back to avoid a paradox.. Maybe the explanation for this is that Christopher reeve superman has a force like a speed force energy in him. which would let hm do it, but has no control of it. it just goes and back
I never got the whole "reverse Earth's rotation" interpretation of the scene - I always thought it was obvious that he was supposed to be travelling back in time…
If you listen to Richard Donner on the DVD commentary, he makes it clear that Superman did actually reverse the Earth's rotation. There's also a visual clue of that, when Superman corrects the Earth's rotation to make it go forwards again.
@@entropyzero5588 its not an "interpertation" its what happend in the movie and again in superman 2 the richard donnar cut,
there's a plaque at Niagara Falls commemorating the shooting of the movie there :)
Doug sure can rock eyeliner.
Chris Reeves showed how he could act differently between the two for Clark and Superman. See his posture change when he takes off his glasses in the first film, the change of the tone of his voice. Even the hair change is enough. I believed that version with the glasses change more than I do the BVS version.
Also Doug missed a good setup for a joke at the end when he said "I'm the Nostalgia Critic and I'm going to go kill myself." I was expecting him to do something stupid to kill himself and have Superman save him
Yes
Its not just the glasses that hide him. Its also the hunched position, the higher potched voice, and superman's slight hipnotic powers (thats actually a thing).
Re: the glasses thing. When I was in high school, I tended to dress in all-black clothes because thought I was edgy and tortured. One day, laundry day, all I had were some hand-me-downs which were all pink. after six months of all black, I showed up wearing all pink. I actually had teachers, teachers who had had me in their classes for SIX MONTHS, and I was actually pretty smart and attentive in class which made me stand out from my small-town dumbass peers, think that I was a NEW STUDENT.
This personal experience made Superman's glasses totally believable to me. If I can be mistaken for another person with a clothing color swap, then Superman can protect his identity with some nerd glasses.
Everyone still notices the eyeliner and some do not understand. Answers lie in the first top 11 nostalgia critic f ups
To be fair, as Twin Perfect points out with #6 its not JUST the glasses for his disguise. He also acts totally different when he's clark kent. He plays the bumbling, small town guy in the big city act to keep it less believable that he could be the more competent Superman
I love Superman, Superman II and Superman Returns so much! They always give me such a great feeling of heartwarming nostalgia. I guess that’s the point of this video, huh?
RIP Robin Williams 7:31
Or as critic called him "A hairy loud obnoxious comedian." Seriously?
Not gonna lie though, Brandon Routh as Ray Palmer on Arrow is great., didnt really care for him as superman though.
I agree
I dont know why they don't just say that the glasses are some sort of special Kryptoniain technology that can disguise him. That would make more sense.
I was confused for a moment by the eyeliner. Then the flashbacks began...
"MELVIN, MELVIN, BROTHER OF THE JOKER~~~!!!"
I've always understood the superman flying around the world scene as implying that superman was flying faster than the speed of light. In theoretical physics, when something travels faster than the speed of light, it moves backwards in time. So, superman didn't actually make the world turn backwards, it was just displayed as turning backwards to imply that superman was traveling backwards in time by defying the known laws of physics and traveling faster than the speed of light.
They don’t see past the glasses because Superman doesn’t wear a mask when he fights crime, so everyone assumes he has no secret identity.
Having a secret identity is a rare thing in modern superhero stuff.
You CAN look quite different with glasses.
Plus, I've heard that the actor changes not only his manner of speaking, but also manages to shift his own muscles on set to look like a different person.
The irony is that when filming SR Brandon Routh was 2 years older than Reeve was in the first film. Reeve was only 24. Incredible, I know.
Wow
"Who the hell am I?" XD honestly my favorite bit. The line to me is just super funny xD
What about that scene after they thought Superman was dead in Superman 2? You know with that mob crowd trying to rush Zod and his minions.
I mean, come on! The cops couldn't stop them. Your entire military can't beat them with their missiles, copters, and guns. Heck, not even Superman can beat them on his own. SO WHAT MAKES YOU PEOPLE THINK FOR ONE SECOND A GROUP OF PEOPLE WITH BASEBALL BATS AND GLASS BOTTLES COULD BEAT THEM?!!!
Where does THAT rank Doug?
When it comes to the glasses, that's something I will always defend...in a way. It's not so much the glasses that are working to fool people so successfully as it's the way Superman acts when he is out of the ol' red and blue. When he is bespectacled as Clark Kent he is bumbling, awkward, timid, and overall the exact opposite of how Superman as a hero acts. He comes across as also lacking the confidence and charisma that Superman exudes.
I actually loved Brandon Routh's casting. Yeah, he kinda looked like Reeve, and even a bit like Reeves. But he sold me a Superman that actually felt the weight of his responsibilities, without losing his optimism.
Bosworth, on the other hand... yikes.
here's an explanation for the turning back time: he wasn't causing the earth to spin backwards. It is well established in the silver age comics that superman can travel time by flying fast enough through space. Well what if he saved himself the return trip by just flying in circles instead? Seeing the earth spin was just a representation of the amount of time he traveled through.
7:31 *clinch teeth* ooooh doug going to regret that joke
fireskull72 When things are taken in their proper context, no regret remains.
***** I know it was 6 years ago, I saw this top 11 on their website. what I meant was Doug is probably going to regret making that now a days.
While the joke was just good fun at the time, unfortunately it is very outdated now.
fireskull72 The word "Obnoxious" could pribably use a redaction, other than that, it's alright. The Elephant in the room will be harassing the NC about this
Obnoxious to his taste. No need for redaction.
I always thought Superman flew so fast that he broke the time barrier.
Could you do superman 3 as a review? I think it's often overlooked as well as superman returns.
Going back in time today to see a nostalgia nostalgia critic video. Superman isn't the only one to have the power to go back.
6:56 There's actually a Reason why Clark wears Glasses and Honestly it took 25 seconds from Clark to Superman! But after that scene we see Clark go to Superman in a matter of Seconds, showing that Clark and Superman are different mainly because of their body language, Superman is Strong, Kind and Hopeful, While Clark is meek, nerdy, but also wholesome. If you haven't seen that well, now ya do.
Yeah in the recent comics superman also change his body structures pose while in his clark kent persona
I'm surprised no mention of one of Superman's greatest enemies in superman returns, a barren island laced with kryptonite.
It was an epic battle....of radiation resistance while throwing a giant rock into deep space.
14:30 That not what he did though. He was moving at super sonic speed in a circle to temporarily disrupt time flow. Although, those time paradoxes he mentioned do make sense.
I thought the number 1 will be the "repair vision", or at least number 2, but i still don't get how spinning the Earth in the other direction could turn back time.
Super sonic speeds? The man of steel flying faster than a speed of light? Disrupting the time flow how the hell does that work?
8:26 the Powerpuff girls
Even I don't like the 'being born with clothes' idea
meanwhile most other ppl would've felt uncomfortable having 3 naked little girls in that pose... what? somebody had to say it!
Brandon Routh was 26 in Superman Returns... the exact same age Christopher Reeve was when Superman came out.
In the case of the glasses, there are multiple reasons for this:
1. The least commonly known or referred to reason, his glasses are made of a special material that he emits a certain eyebeam through to distort people's vision of him, making him seem lanky.
2. Considering how very in-super Clark Kent is, they think any similarity is coincidental.
3. The most important: No one thinks Superman has a secret identity. They just think he's always Superman, so unlike other heroes, no one bothers to figure out who they are, the other half the time.
And spinning the world back around? I'm pretty sure that was an example of bad writing, but I think I can fix it:
He was able to tap into a power he never had, fueled by the pain of losing Lois.
And he didn't reverse time by spinning the Earth backwards. He travelled so fast, HE went back in time. He just ditched his original timeline and started over. Everything going backwards was to signify that.
And I'd say that one of Superman's powers could be immunity to time paradoxes.
If nobody could recognize Henry Cavill in public, then the whole Superman glasses thing (IN FICTION) should be more than believable by now.
11:31 Fanfiction writer's, put those pens down!
Do I have to? *puts pen down*
Superman spinning the Earth backwards was so brilliant Power Rangers just had to use it...twice.
RIP Margot.
You should review the Supergirl movie. It's technically part of this series, and it's my least favorite superhero movie of all time
In the Superman 90s animated series Clark told Lois he was Superman straightforward but she thought he was being sarcastic
Well as for the glasses thats how the comics were. Kent always wore glasses and no one noticed. They just stayed true to the original material. It is stupid though.
Its not just the glasses its everything about how he is, he is a klutz, and a nobody, no way he can be superman... can he? That's the whole purpose of his disguise.
i a recet elseworldesque comic: Superman: American Alien, they give asimple yet stupid, yet clever answer. Clark says that people always says he looks like superman without and with glasses. is like the myth of the 7 people who look identical to you in the world
@@gandalftheantlion Exactly. Nobody has any reason to believe that some average joe is Superman. They just end up thinking he's nothing but a mere look-alike.
Apparently in the old comics, the reason nobody noticed Clark Kent was Superman was because he would transform his posture and his voice with his Super Muscle Control
Actually Superman has a low hypnotic ability that is amplified through the glasses. When people see him from behind he is a big superhero guy but when they see him from the front with glasses they see an entirely new person
If this video aired after Man of Steel, I wonder how many dumbass moments he would put on the list.
Some of my guesses would be;
1. The constant jumping of Clark Kent's history. One moment he's a baby heading to Earth, the next moment, he's a young adult on a boat, and then later transits to when he was a kid, and so on a so forth.
2. The killing of Zod, and even though it bothered him, they never mentioned that killing someone was a problem for him, and the fact that it was totally forgotten in the next scene.
3. People treat death as a minor nuisance
4. Superman being a bit more bloodthirsty as even though he had the opportunity to restore his race, Superman's all like, "Krypton had it's chance".
5. The obvious symbolism that Superman is Jesus.
6. Destroying more of a town/city despite Superman trying to protect the very same town/city
7. The obvious product placement of Denny's, Uhaul, and a few others.
Omnicidal Clown Those are not dumb, those are things you failed to understand.
Omnicidal Clown 1. It's a method of telling a story. You are allowed not to like it, it's not inherently wrong nor bad.
2. How about you think what does it feel like to kill anyone for the first time. Not many people want or are able to go past that threshold, and even those who do don't take it as lightly as people might think.
3. People who made peace with their lives don't shy away from dying. If you know there's nothing to do, or nowhere to go, and you pretty much die momentarily, why bother yourself with it?
4. He was given a choice - possibly restore his own race, given as an ultimatum, or save the only world he knows, that would have to be destroyed in order to restore any form of Krypton.
5. Overused and lazy, not inherently wrong.
6. He's not the one instigating the battle nor the main reason for the destruction.
7. Obvious as it may be, in the world we live in, is there any place where you can go where you wouldn't see any brand name? Granted, they were pushed a tad too much in the movie, but the reality is that brand names are all around us and forcing it out would show some other world that isn't the Earth of 21st century.
***** And yet the Nostalgia Critic complained and critiqued the exact same things I'm talking about in his Man of Steel review with Angry Joe.
"Jesus wouldn't kill" - well, only if you distinguish Jesus from the Trinity in the time of the Old Testament.
Also, rather violently, Jesus did throw the merchants out of the Temple. Not something an ultimate pacifist would do.
Does it matter why was he violent, though?
Superman has a low hypnotic ability that is amplified through this glasses so when people see him they actually see an entirely different person than when he doesn’t wear them. He is hypnotizing everyone
Seeing this classic NC video just in time for Superman month!
Wait, Brandon Routh is worse than Superman throwing his S to capture Non in plastic?
Richard Pryor reportedly got the "Superman 3" role because of a comedy monologue he did on Johnny Carson about the "Superman: movies, but did you even notice the gentleman who got paint on him was Bob Todd from "The Benny Hill Show?"
If you ask me, I think Richard Pryor definitely should’ve played a version of toy man in Superman III, like maybe he’s sorta childish on the inside but adult on the outside due to his childhood, but he is contracted by (instead of Ross Webster) Morgan Edge to play “games” with Superman as a way distracting him from discovering Morgan’s diabolical plot to take over Smallville and other towns. And yes, and Annette O’Toole can stay in as Lana Lang because she’s a good character. But cut out the evil Superman idea and save that for Superman IV
my theory of the time travel thing is that he just flew faster than the speed of light causing time to reverse, he just flew at this speed around the earth to stay close to it.
And another thing that got wrong in the movie is SOOPERMAN is way more than fast enough to have caught both missiles. They should of launched hundreds of missiles.
If Superman Returns was a reboot with a young and new Superman and Lois Lane then the casting would have worked, I think the blandness came more from the Direction and script than the cast.
rocknrolllives Unfortunately it wasn't a reboot. It is actually a sequel to Superman II. Which makes their ages even more ridiculous.
Kate Bosworth was 23 when that film was made. The kid looks to be about 6 or 7 - meaning Lois Lane was a prize-winning journalist at the age of 16/17, when Superman bedded her.
+Pinkie Pie To be fair, it's not unheard of for actors to play characters older than themselves.
10:28 meanwhile on Butch Hartman's twitter...
Just watching this video makes me want to watch the original film! It looks really good!
Rest in peace Margot Kidder
You know what's really bad about the memory kiss? This is actually Singer's fault but Superman left shortly after Superman 2 and was gone for five years. He comes back, Lois has a kid and its his kid, which would have been conceived when he took her to the Fortress of Solitude and stripped his powers to be with her. But thanks to the memory kiss, she doesn't remember any of that. She would have been utterly baffled about how she got pregnant. Well ok so maybe she gets together with that other guy she's with immediately after Superman leaves. The pregnancy would seem a bit premature but it might work and she might assume its his kid. But then that means Lois is over Superman immediately after he leaves and what we're shown in both Superman 2 and Superman Returns does not match up with that.
The kiss was put in there by Lester, the guy who took over Superman 2 mid production when Donner was fired. Donner had planned to reverse everything by having Superman wind back time again. But that doesn't quite work because he also wanted the freeing of Zod and gang to be a consequence of Superman winding back time in the first Superman movie after he was warned not to
"Oh, great! You blew up the "Waw-waw" Machine!"
~ Nostalgia Critic (2009)
I loved that scene where Superman spun the earth in reverse. I thought it was badass.
he forgot the 5th important part of the missile problem: If he went back in time to get the other missile, wouldn't that mean the first missile he got before would suddenly come back?
Not spinning the earth backward. He went back in time. Like Flash.
The why is there only one superman?
Can we now add the terrible CGI upper lip from Justice League?
Yeah, but don't add Cyborg's CGI to a list of dumb DC moments. Cyborg in that sweatshirt turns me on.
What if Superman was actually just flying faster than the speed of light, and thus the earth spinning backwards was actually Superman going back in time, just as the theory of relativity predicts?
i think thats for going forward in time since time slows fown the faster you approach lightspeed.
+Zane Fukkatsu Well in DC universe , the flash goes back in time by going fast, so I think the same idea applies.
+Toney Smith the theory of relativity says no
DC comics care not for your feeble physics!
+Toney Smith nor do i cate for their bullshit
Honestly, I like the idea of multiple things going wrong at once in the city and Superman has to prioritize and figure out which problems he van discreetly solve as Clark Kent, and which he needs to change into Superman for. I could see a more serious equivalent to this scene actually working as an opening.
Rip Margot kidder
I miss seeing the old pair of World Trad Center towers featured in many movies and TV shows from the 1960s-2001. The new World Trade Center tower stands like a monolith on part of the site with a memorial to the old towers we lost in 2001, consisting of two square fountains, sits at the base of the new 1,776-foot tower.
I love his eye make up in this... :)
That moment when you see this upload next to the new Justice League Gods and monsters episode about Superman xD
why did they invent 'Nuclear-Man' when there was already a better, similar villain in the comics... Bizarro? Thinking about Superman 4, knowing it lower budget, they could have easily fixed the movie by having with a few hints, a twist ending, revealing the whole thing was actually just a movie staring 'Superman' within a movie type thing...
I wasn't laughing at Richard Pryor's character at the age when I could still smile at Jar Jar.
You forgot that cellophane "S" that Superman throws at the villains in Superman II.
Your eyeliner is on point, Critic
8:35 I think that's what they actually did smh
8:43 😂😂😂
11:23 - 11:44 Robot chicken actually all ready thought of that, and made it.
Look when this was originally uploaded.
"Who is born with skin tight spandex and a cape?". I believe the answer is Cher.
9:05 play the Benny hill music
This is the video where he didn’t get all his eye liner off. Adds to the comedy I guess.
As he went around the Earth mkre than seven times in one second we can safely say he is much faster than the speed of light, he could easily catch both.
Going these speed would (theoritically) make him travel into the past, but that has nothing to dow ith the rotation of the Earth.
I think the only sense that could be made from that world spinning scene is that he went so fast that he went back in time.
I've only briefly overview Mrs time travel theory though, however your other points would still stand.
Huh First the Kiss skit now the Back in time skit from Robot Chicken came from Critic...who knew
2:57 XD
U we're so damn on point in this video!👍🏾👍🏾
#12. the absence of Marlon Brando in Superman 2, I know this is fixed in the Donner cut, but seriously, where the hell is he, 1. He was Kal El's only connection to Krypton and 2. He was the only one who inprinted himself on the green crystal, but for some Reason, Lara is the only one he talks too in Superman 2.
3. for some reason he's absent from the trial of General Zod despite the fact that he was the deciding vote in the first movie!
I don't like Marlon Brando, but that's just logically idiotic!
11:22 Robot Chicken stole Doug's Superman kiss idea!
I think the dumbest part about that number 10 entry, is that the way Superman catched that falling kid would have killed him instantly from whiplash effect and shock of the fall (and physics were always played around in all these Superman movies).
Even in that Spider Man story, The Night Gwen Stacy Died, a point was made about how one cannot simply stop someone from falling down mid fall, as it would still cause their death (which is what happened to Spider Man, he killed Gwen accidentally and in a momentary lapse in judgement).
originally the going back in time idea was used for superman 2 and superman 1 had a different ending as it ended on zod escaping the phantom zone. A youtber named oliver harper did a video on this talking about superman 2
I think #1 can be justified as Superman going faster than the speed of light so he's actually physically going back in time, not making the rest of the world go back in time with him
+James A Clouder sure, but that still doesn't explain the "2 supermen" problem, or why he never uses it again, as NC mentioned
Shit now it doesn't seem so ridiculous compared to all the other dumb shit that happens in the DCEU. Martha scene aside, why the fuck did Superman leave the Capitol building even though no one thought he was responsible for that bombing? There were TV crews everywhere capturing him saving people.
Also you could add Lex's plan to the list. What the hell was he trying to accomplish and why? Why did he need the government's permission to get kryptonite when he already had it to begin with? Why did he go through all the trouble of setting up all this shit with Batman, the crippled fuck, and Holly Hunter's character only for him to just make a giant Frankenstein monster at the end of the movie? Why didn't he just drop a big kryptonite bomb on Superman? He had enough money to plan and cover up an elaborate, convoluted conspiracy, so he should have enough money to cover up something as simple as bombing Superman!
For what it's worth, the intention of the filmmakers was that time on Earth was literally reversed. I don't know if you've seen, or are aware of, the Richard Donner cut of Superman II, but in that version of the film, Superman uses the time reversal trick to erase the events of most of the film (they originally thought up that plot device for Superman II, but decided to transplant it into the first film late on in development). And there's a scene after that where Perry and Lois are clearly experiencing a form of deja vu. For example, Lois feels like she's "sitting on the single most important story of [her] career", but can't remember what it is.
