Perfectly articulated. One of the most dehumanizing thing to be done to Superman in recent times is the pushing of the narrative that his humanity is tied to Lois Lane. As such, it discredits his compassion, his innate goodness, his heart and overall care for humanity. It takes away from the fact that at heart he is a man with a strong moral compass and sense of responsibility. That his upbringing by the Kents played a major part in shaping the man and hero he becomes.
Naijagyal01 Exactly. What most people forget about him is that before he was Superman and before he met Lois, he was just this human boy discovering himself and just wants to do good to others. Yes he’s an alien but he’s human at heart and always will be the most human than all.
In this cynical world, most people don't believe in Superman's ideals. Thus they try to write him and drive into the ground and say "you're no different from the rest of us, there's nothing special about you." Sad to see how humanity has been slipping down.
Jokes on them because in superman's mind, they're right, he doesn't think he's any different from them, he doesn't think he's special at all and he really doesn't want to be. He's a dude who not only saves people, even bad guys, just for kicks but continuously pretends to be a nerdy, is an ace reporter, dates human women, does farm stuff and pays his bills.
Superman was always at heart an ordinary midwestern farmboy from Smallville, Kansas. The fact that people view him as a distant powerful alien just because he was born on another planet is contrary to his core and fundamental beliefs. He cares about Earth and the people inhabiting it because he empathizes with their emotions and dreams not because they are weak and need someone to teach them. Krypton gave him his powers, but Earth gave him a medium to make connections with his farmer parents and his close friends in order to be a hero. He aims for a better future for Earth, he aims for people to be optimistic, especially in the horrific of obstacles, and it’s hard because it’s easy to fall and get lost in your own internal problems. He may not have to worry about dying himself, but he does have to worry about those who do want to die.
Batman: Genius, billionaire and master combatant. Wonder Woman: Amazonian, princess, and daughter of the gods Green Lantern: Highly skilled pilot, unbelievable willpower and member of an intergalactic police force Aquaman: Atlantian, power over all ocean life, and King of the seas. Superman: Farm boy from Kansas, reporter, who does the right thing whenever he can. And apparently Superman is the unrelateable one.
Well i mean he's still a Alien who crashlanded on earth But to be fair, it's the Sun's effects on Kryptonians that makes him so powerful Kryptonians aren't as godlike on every other planet, including their home one
Its mostly because the writers and directors focus on the wrong things, its like if Tom Holland's Spiderman is always like Iron Man (try to keep his tech away from bad guys, fighting aliens all the time ect) instead of being Spiderman with the added problems of living up to his hero. Or in other words if Spider Man has no personal problems or if Captain America becomes edgy or ironically jingoistic.

"If tests were easy, there wouldn't be a need for tests" - Jonathan Kent Man, I love the idea of a couple just managing to raise up an alien stranger baby due to their kindness and then it ends up being a decent person. More than decent, actually.
What also makes Superman an interesting character is that he also brings the theme of being the bigger man in any situation. What's the adult, mature, and smart thing to do in any given situation. If you ask me, this world needs a Superman now more than ever...
The people who think Superman is boring, pointless, overpowered etc. are often the people who are obsessed with power and fighting. Rather than look at Superman's intentions, struggles or "humanity", they only focus on his abilities; judging a book by its cover (no pun intended), like a Lex Luthor who resents Superman for who he is rather than what he's about.
This was such a great video, I am not an american, and everytime I see superman, I relate to him more than any other superhero, he is humble, decent, caring, perhaps too much, which his villains exploit all the time, he is also very positive, and even in the most dire of situations, he will always believe there is a way to solve this problem. He will risk his own life without hesitation to save even the crappiest human being, because that’s how he is. He is more than a superhero, he is the embodiment of the potential of every human being in this planet. Superman is my favorite fictional character of all time , and it’s amazing and sad how many people bash the character without a clear valid reason, as soon as they start stating why they hate him, I just ignore them, because they truly don’t understand (or read) the character at all. I think in a way is kind of like in the real world, people at first don’t see you for who you are , they won’t trust you, they will misjudge you., and even hate you because they fear what they don’t understand, only at the end realizing how great you are, and how wrong they were initially.
I forgot who said that quote people fear what they don't understand and doesn't this character allude to Christ in a way saving earth even though they don't deserve it.
U don't need to be american to love superman. He doesn't represent american like captain american. He represent humanity, he is first a immigrants trying to fit in.
@@Watch-0w1 Absolutely right, Superman is technically not an American since he's an alien born on another planet and was sent to Earth as a baby, where he was raised by earthly parents. Superman should be representing the entire world and not just one country like America.
Nailed it. I keep seeing all these articles about how Superman is impossible to relate to. They miss the point by a mile. We all have a piece of him that pushes us to do better than the culture of mediocrity tells us is totally acceptable. Aspiring to be the very best that we can be, to commit to make the impossible a memory, and to tell society to blow it out of their ass when we’re accused of making everyone else look bad, that’s what Superman is. Break the record, train harder, ASPIRE to be the best at what you do. Encourage others by your own example. Remember that failure is part of learning, so get back up, push harder, and commit to excellence.
Well there wouldn’t as superman was the archetype hero and concept which marvel modelled most of their popular characters including Captain America Thor Spider-Man And others
@Fictional Subliminals Thor did exist before marvel but marvel has changed Thor so much he's a completely different charecter/person. So his argument still works.
@Fictional Subliminals except marvel Thor is nothing like myth Thor. For god sake when Thor was first made he was a scientist that got the powers of Thor after lifting the hammer
What I meant was superman paved the way for the archetype hero, he’s there was other superheroes before superman such as but superman was the lagoon and character which all angelic and symbols of hope installed characters used as a guideline. Thor was heavily changed, when examining the Norse mythology and marvel iteration or rendition of the character, is much different form the original source material. Superman was the first mainstream comic character
Which is why I am loving the current dc rebirth comics of superman because now he gets all of these lessons he learned to his own son his own fresh and blood Jon aka superboy and it’s amazing ;)
Aside from his obvious super powers, Superman is quite a personable character one could actually hang out with. + An incredible birth and legacy, yet has an everyday and humble upbringing. + Has a typical job and relationship the average person can relate to. + Half his life is ordinary or mundane like everyone else, while the other is something many people dream off. We can try and grasp the impossibilities of his powers, or achieve the possibilities of the character's ideals. Hence 'Super'
This is the kind of message we should all hear about the character. I admit, I wonder if the fact people forget this about Superman nowadays and relate more to Luthor isn't just a sign of mentalities evolving and people being generally more... selfish, or cynical. If that's the case, then paradoxically we might need more characters like Superman.
Honestly I don’t have a problem with overpowered character that’s one of the reasons why I’m a big fan of Hyperion, The Sentry, Hercules,Captain Planet, Danny Phantom, Ben 10,Freakazoid(Dexter Douglas),Adam Warlock and Silver Surfer!I just want them to be written correctly and not just make them brute who just punched into situations declaring that it over!
I simply cannot describe how SPOT ON this video is. Liked, subscribed and overall praised. This video describes perfectly why Superman is relevant, probably now more than ever. Superman is a call to arms for all those who posess remarkable gifts and skills into putting them to work for the greater good. Superman was never truly about his power set or his alien heritage. Those elements are very distinctive and colorful world-building aspects, but they aren't the REAL message the character tries to convey. Superman is a good old tale of power and responsibility. Whenever you have the power to act, you must act. If you willingly don't, any bad situation happens because you didn't act. On the beautiful book "Peace on Earth", he says that "my powers aren't gifts for me alone, but for everyone else". Whenever you are in position to do good, to "stand for those who can't stand for themselves", you must jump into action. Lex is there to show the exact opposite of that. He is self-made for sure, but all he amounted to only benefits himself. Everything he ever achieved is a testament to his ever-growing ego. Luthor could be a "Superman" if he wanted. With his brilliant mind and his science expertise, he could have already cured cancer! But his dillusions of grandeur and his narcissism and superiority complex prevent him from achieving true greatness. If you are not in the position to save the whole World, then at least save YOUR World. Your family. Your loved ones. Be the Superman they need you to be in their lives. If we all do that - if we follow Superman's example -, then we are all Superman. I loved Superman as a little kid. But as I grew up, I let him go. I favoured edgy, "relatable" heroes with a superimposed shadow self, or very flawed individuals who are constantly on the brink of breaking bad. Batman, Punisher, Wolverine, Iron Man. But recently, life made me understand that you need, at all times, a Superman within you. You must erect a stable, impenetrable, steel-made, Wall of Ethics and Moral. Impervious to egocentric desires, to instinct, to private agendas. You must refuse mediocrity. You must refuse averageness. You must not envy others. You must not focus on stopping others from achieving success. You must build not only your success, but also the success of others around you. And you must do all this with confidence and with a smile. To a certain degree, it was from watching "Batman v Superman", and from finding so strange and odd that Superman could ever doubt himself and actually believe that "no one stays good in this world" that I realized the exact opposite. YOU CAN STAY GOOD IN THIS WORLD. ALL IT TAKES IS FOR YOU TO NEVER COMPROMISE. NEVER. (That is why I like Henry Cavill's Superman a lot, by the way.) You must do the right thing JUST BECAUSE it is the right thing to do. That is what you must gravitate towards AT ALL TIMES. I know this is all too cheesy and cringeworthy. But it is RIGHT. And I learned it from Superman.
@@akash377 Thank you my friend. I'm glad to see people understanding honest perspectives like these without being cynical or without mocking right from the start.
The thing that makes me angry about most writers portrayal of Superman is they treat Clark as the mask and Superman as the real person. He is always Clark pretending to be Superman...after growing up in Kansas you can’t just stop being who you are because someone gives you a red and blue suit. Clark is the real personality, he was raised in middle America and has all those values and morals. Currently Brian Michael Bendis wants Superman to lose his secret identity ( Clark ) but how do you lose who you really are and pretend your Superman all day?! He is just as human as all of us he just has powers and a level head on his shoulders. To me he has always been the most relatable character in comics because like him I like to have Hope and Believe we can all be better than we currently are one day.
Brian doesn't really understand superman which is why his comic sale is failing Dc. Before Brian took over, Superman was restore to what he was. Sadly i will not read any more Dc comic, it gotten really bad.
No, Clark is the alter ego, He was sent to earth dressed in the superman garb, those are his ACTUAL clothes. So.. no.. It's exactly the opposite of what you describe
Love this video, it's the reason I love this character. Felt like we were heading towards why he does during Man of Steel but didn't capitalize on in yet.
I'm so tired of seeing people shit on Superman just because he's big and powerful. Every superhero is overpowered, and that's not Superman's main character qualities. You got his motive exactly right, he's just a good man before the alien.
I would wish to see the Story of how Superman became a Hero and not a villain. His experiences and Ideas, how he started to value every life and not seeing us as Ants. I want to see Superman looking up to the Stars and reflect in his life. How he was as an inexperienced Hero, afraid to destroy everyone He loves by not beeing carefull, tempted to just use his power to force peace, shooked by the fact that not everyone had a childhood like his, instilled with values, learning that His values aren't the only ones as different societies developed different interpretations of this unbeleivable big and confusing universe. And Most importantly, how he discoverred the impossibility to make everything right, but instead of giving Up on humanity, accepting his and everyone weaknesses and encourages them and himself to grow out of them. So that everyone if super or not, can become a proper Hu-man!
Not nearly enough. Smallville was all about the character of Clark Kent, and what made him a hero. Without Smallville, I wouldn't have known about the amazing character of Superman, and wouldn't have liked him. Nothing else seems to do a good job with this at all.
Superman aka Man of steel I have to say this, in my view, superman is two personalities in one person. First is superman, the optimistic and a moral hero, who struggles with the world's cynicism and can't afford to do mistakes as people's livelihood is on the line. And yeah he is super strong. Second is Clark Kent, who people can relate to, timid yet good hearted dork from kansas. Who alway struggles with his identity and can make mistakes sometimes. I think balancing these two sides has been challenging to many writers. But there are writers who can do this.
This is also why everytime he overcomes a character like Darkseid it is such a huge deal as well. Because the type of evil that Darkseid represents is even uglier than Lex.
Something I find annoying is people always say "but he is overpowered and everything is easy" but that's because they think the only characters in DC are Batman villain level characters, not realising that Superman's villains are often far more powerful compared to him than Batman's are to Batman. Brainiac is a 12th level intellect with a giant ship that can steal cities, Doomsday is a bloodthirsty monster that even IF you can kill it it'll just come back stronger and angrier, Lex Luthor the smartest and richest man on Earth with an ego and ambition that dwarf both, Metallo is a robot with a Kryptonite heart(and he is probably Superman's weakest regular), Lobo is the main man, Mongul is a tyrant that has conquered hundreds of worlds, and the list goes on. All of them can kill Superman, most with their bare hands, he doesn't beat them by being better than them, he beats them by being *better* than them.
The original personality of Superman was more akin to Tarzan and John Carter (ERB characters), and John Wayne. He had utter confidence in his moral code and abilities, and a certain swagger when it came to confronting bad guys. That's been missing from most portrayals of him.
I love superman and I always will and I’m glad that you highlighted the point that superman doesn’t stand above anyone but he’s himself as an equal. Superman is a great inspiration of mine and i believe in his example very much.
I never grow tired of seeing this video. And this video will be more resonant with what Bendis is doing to Clark. in case you haven't heard Bendis is having Superman no longer be Cark Kent. he writing him outing himself in this Decembers issue of Superman.
That's sounds terrible... If there is no Clark Kent there is not Superman, but contrary to that, even when there if not Superman there is always Clark Kent.
Love this video and agree with most of it. The only slight part that I disagree with is when you say that making him more realistic focuses too much on him being an alien and losing the human quality of him. Well, like it or not, he's still an alien and that's an important part of who he is. And it's another important reason why he's a superhero. He himself would never forget his alien origins. I would say if you enjoy a character, you can't just like part of them, or even half of them. You have to enjoy ALL of them. When you focus too much on his heroism or his humanity and not so much anything else then you turn him more into an idea instead of a character. In fact, other videos have pointed out that the alien origins could be a clear allegory for being an immigrant and establishing yourself in a strange place that is your new home. I think in making him more realistic and focusing on WHAT he is it makes it all the more impactful when he chooses to be a hero and inspiration for mankind. Also, one thing we can't forget is execution is everything. If you make it like a "Day The Earth Stood Still" kind of story then yes that might be the case where we focus too much on the alien part. But if you make it more like a Moses story (which was a big inspiration for Superman when he was first created) then it could be really good and focus more on his connection with the people he is saving and his origins matter all the more too.
The only on target comment about superman in the recent films, was in .justice League where Bruce Wayne tells Wonder Woman the Clark was the most human of any of them. He grew up in a normal family, has a job, fell in love. He is part of the real world in a way none of the rest of them are.
That's the main difference between Donner's Superman and Snyder's Man of Steel. Donner understood that it was all about the "Why Superman does the things that he does" and showed it in his film. Whereas Snyder clearly doesn't understand this and instead focused on the how Superman does his feats
My teenage years were the most miserable years of my life but I always found solace in Superman and no matter how depressed and angry I was Superman always made me feel better
Man of Steel has been the only true superman story that really resonates with who and what the character is in movies. It's the best superman film to date, not the reeves version. The reeves version really just creates the image people have in their heads about who they think superman is instead of who he actually is. Superman's nature as an alien is important, it's his heritage and apart of him. Superman is an immigrant, and like most immigrants he has his own culture and home. Krypton is his home world and his culture is kryptonian. This is shown in the comics, Superman learns about his people and even learns his native language. Nothing is lost by giving that aspect of the character some focus, it also makes him more relatable because there are people who are immigrants and know what it's like to grow up in a whole new world and be different. Just like his creators. Man of Steel gave us the perfect superman story, because it showed us who superman is. Just a genuinely good person trying to do the right thing. That's who superman is. He starts off like he always does, lost and unsure of himself and of what he should do. He eventually learns what he can do for the world, the same thing he's been doing; helping people, which the movie does show.
My favorite line ever said by Superman comes from the Animated Series episode that introduced Volcana, where Superman is looking at the lair of the episode's villains and dryly laments, "My tax dollars at work."
He does not disguise himself as Clark Kent, Clark Kent disguise himself as Superman as a way to use his gifts to help the world take away all the powers he is just Clark Kent a farm boy from Kansas who move to a big city and became a reporter
I thought Kingdom Come encapsulates this pretty well. It’s a nice response to grim dark comics like Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns. It’s the Anti-Grim Dark comic book.
It's sad what modern comic book writers have done to Superman I bet Shuster and Siegel are rolling in their graves. Superman was created invincible with a shit load of abilities but was later reduced and nerfed many times over to push whatever characters the writers wished to push notably Batman. The Injustice arc is the worst coz no way in hell can Superman turn bad no matter what due to his strong moral compass. Batman is the most likely to turn bad but the problem with him is that he has no powers.
I think that my problem with superman isn't the idea behind him In fact that is my favorite part. My thing is Clark (Kal) (superman without being super) himself. I feel like his personality is boring. There is nothing that makes him pop or standout in the crowd other than his blue and red suit. I know people say that he is mild mannered but it tends to come off as bland, dull, boring. Like God left his personality on "Default". It feels like using the term "mild manned" is a cop out. (its not but sometimes it feels like it.) Think characters like ALL-Might (MHA) Saitama (OPM) Captain America, Spider-Man. They have a similar moral standing to Clark (always aiming to be better and do the right thing) but they have more definable personalities that can set them a part from those around them as people. They are not just inspiring, but they are fun to watch as they go about there lives, make decisions, and interact with people. Like if you had to spend a day with or hang out with , I'll say Kal (clark but not the bumbling idiot version) , so no powers no crime (God made a day with no crime), is that time FUN? Could his personality carry a fun conversation. I feel like id come home from that outing saying "eh, i guess he's cool" That's what I mean by Superman is boring. Not him as a hero and character, but as dude. He feels boring in his interactions with the people around him. Haven't read a whole lot but from what i have, that's what i get. From the little that I've seen/read, my favorite version is the version from the kids cartoon justice league action. Hes a cool dude but he can come off as real corny sometimes and I think that adds a bit of humor to him. Is adds another layer to the integrations and conversations he has wit the people around him. Especially between him and Batman.
In Superman#705 Superman finds out a guy has been abusing his son and wife so he takes them to the police. When the policewoman says "Thank you Superman. You saved the mother and son. This needed you to get to the bottom of it." and Superman replies with "No it just needed someone with eyes and 10 cents worth of compassion." And I think that just sums up Superman perfectly. He isn’t a god or anything of the sort. He is just a guy with compassion for others
I don’t think Superman has been turned into a villain lately because people are just so compelled by his powers and he has to be turned villainous to fully display them. I think Superman has been consistently turned into a villain because since the 1980s, superhero comics have mostly been focused on postmodernist deconstruction of optimistic and “heroic” characters. Ironically, the postmodern deconstruction became played out and boring within the span of just a few years whereas other genre movements of superhero comics lasted longer before they got old and played out, because by definition, “deconstruction” isn’t building anything that’s meant to be sustainable - it exists solely as a reaction to an established precedent. It fails to impress whenever it BECOMES the established precedent and all of a sudden it’s punching down. There’s nothing more boring or annoying than someone who is clearly fake, corporate, and lacking self-awareness that are trying to come off as subversive or anti-establishment, and that’s where comics and superhero media have gotten. This is the same reason why Joker gets his own solo movies where he’s an oppressed incel and Harley Quinn is being consistently pushed into your face as an anti-hero too. We’re blurring the line between good guys and bad guys, implying that there are none and it’s all material circumstance that drives the world. This isn’t a sustainable way to tell stories. The straw that breaks the camel’s back for me is that they turned down Rocksteady’s pitch for a Superman game in favor of a Harley Quinn/Suicide Squad starred looter-shooter where the goal is literally to kill the evil good guys. It’s like okay, you’ve stopped producing Superman movies after you failed because you tried to make him an edgy anti-hero, but you’re continuing with a steady stream of Suicide Squad sequels/spin-offs even though that movie was by no means successful either, and now you’re literalizing your agenda against heroes in this ironically trendy type of game where you have to kill them. I know the comics aren’t quite the same sort of situation, but that’s not what the mainstream sees and that’s not any young child’s first introduction to these characters. This generation of kids isn’t going to be introduced to Superman by Bruce Timm or Richard Donner or even Brian Michael Bendis, they’re going to be introduced to him by Zack Snyder and Netherrealm. If that isn’t alarming to Superman fans, I don’t know what would be
In a way, Superman is more like Cap. While the character has grown and matured in some ways, the core of his stories is about how much he STAYS the same. It's about his resolve, that despite how much the world slips into darkness, he REMAINS to be a beacon of hope, by overcoming those bleak odds. That to me is the most human lesson ever. Yes, how he approaches things can change and mature, but WHY he does it must never change. He does it simply because it's a good thing to do. Also, how damaged do you have to be to think that you can't just do good for the sake of good.
this guy sayed that superman can destroy meteors and hear across the planet? the guy who casually beats multiversal beings and can hear across universes or planes of existances that dwarf infinite complex multiversal structures? nice

Rather than look at Superman's intentions, struggles or "humanity", they only focus on his abilities; judging a book by its cover (no pun intended), like a Lex Luthor who resents Superman for who he is rather than what he's about.
It's explained that Lex is the Main character in "Smallville", not Clark.
Problem is that alot people don't know how to write superman. Unlike batman , superman is difficult to write about a being that can do anything
Facts!!!!!!!
@@Watch-0w1 that's why I love DC they have amazing writers
Heck I hate when the DB Fools say Goku is better, I prefer Superman to save me because I know he cares.
This was such a great video, I am not an american, and everytime I see superman, I relate to him more than any other superhero, he is humble, decent, caring, perhaps too much, which his villains exploit all the time, he is also very positive, and even in the most dire of situations, he will always believe there is a way to solve this problem.
He will risk his own life without hesitation to save even the crappiest human being, because that’s how he is. He is more than a superhero, he is the embodiment of the potential of every human being in this planet. Superman is my favorite fictional character of all time , and it’s amazing and sad how many people bash the character without a clear valid reason, as soon as they start stating why they hate him, I just ignore them, because they truly don’t understand (or read) the character at all. I think in a way is kind of like in the real world, people at first don’t see you for who you are , they won’t trust you, they will misjudge you., and even hate you because they fear what they don’t understand, only at the end realizing how great you are, and how wrong they were initially.
I forgot who said that quote people fear what they don't understand and doesn't this character allude to Christ in a way saving earth even though they don't deserve it.
The only people who hate Superman are Batman fans who think they can only like one and people who just like things other people like.
U don't need to be american to love superman. He doesn't represent american like captain american. He represent humanity, he is first a immigrants trying to fit in.
@@Watch-0w1 Absolutely right, Superman is technically not an American since he's an alien born on another planet and was sent to Earth as a baby, where he was raised by earthly parents. Superman should be representing the entire world and not just one country like America.
Nailed it. I keep seeing all these articles about how Superman is impossible to relate to. They miss the point by a mile. We all have a piece of him that pushes us to do better than the culture of mediocrity tells us is totally acceptable. Aspiring to be the very best that we can be, to commit to make the impossible a memory, and to tell society to blow it out of their ass when we’re accused of making everyone else look bad, that’s what Superman is. Break the record, train harder, ASPIRE to be the best at what you do. Encourage others by your own example. Remember that failure is part of learning, so get back up, push harder, and commit to excellence.
Let’s face it. Without Superman, there wouldn’t BE a Marvel Comics or an Incredibles.
Or any hero but Don't forget without Lex Luther we wouldn't get any good villians in hero movies.
Well there wouldn’t as superman was the archetype hero and concept which marvel modelled most of their popular characters including
Captain America
Thor
Spider-Man
And others
@Fictional Subliminals Thor did exist before marvel but marvel has changed Thor so much he's a completely different charecter/person. So his argument still works.
@Fictional Subliminals except marvel Thor is nothing like myth Thor. For god sake when Thor was first made he was a scientist that got the powers of Thor after lifting the hammer
What I meant was superman paved the way for the archetype hero, he’s there was other superheroes before superman such as but superman was the lagoon and character which all angelic and symbols of hope installed characters used as a guideline. Thor was heavily changed, when examining the Norse mythology and marvel iteration or rendition of the character, is much different form the original source material. Superman was the first mainstream comic character
Which is why I am loving the current dc rebirth comics of superman because now he gets all of these lessons he learned to his own son his own fresh and blood Jon aka superboy and it’s amazing ;)
Tevya Smolka I agree man the current Rebirth Superman comics are so awesome! :)
Luke Skywalker the 2nd indeed man :)
Tevya Smolka indeed :-)
Luke Skywalker the 2nd lol :)
Tevya Smolka LoL :)
This is what makes Superman a great character.
Aside from his obvious super powers, Superman is quite a personable character one could actually hang out with.
+ An incredible birth and legacy, yet has an everyday and humble upbringing.
+ Has a typical job and relationship the average person can relate to.
+ Half his life is ordinary or mundane like everyone else, while the other is something many people dream off.
We can try and grasp the impossibilities of his powers, or achieve the possibilities of the character's ideals.
Hence 'Super'
Superman, "Man of Hope!"
Superman is a simple person he just wants to be nice and helpful as he lives his own life. Favourite comic of superman is All star Superman
This is the kind of message we should all hear about the character. I admit, I wonder if the fact people forget this about Superman nowadays and relate more to Luthor isn't just a sign of mentalities evolving and people being generally more... selfish, or cynical. If that's the case, then paradoxically we might need more characters like Superman.
"A true man of tomorrow living today"
Killed it.!!!
Honestly I don’t have a problem with overpowered character that’s one of the reasons why I’m a big fan of Hyperion, The Sentry, Hercules,Captain Planet, Danny Phantom, Ben 10,Freakazoid(Dexter Douglas),Adam Warlock and Silver Surfer!I just want them to be written correctly and not just make them brute who just punched into situations declaring that it over!
I simply cannot describe how SPOT ON this video is. Liked, subscribed and overall praised.
This video describes perfectly why Superman is relevant, probably now more than ever.
Superman is a call to arms for all those who posess remarkable gifts and skills into putting them to work for the greater good.
Superman was never truly about his power set or his alien heritage. Those elements are very distinctive and colorful world-building aspects, but they aren't the REAL message the character tries to convey.
Superman is a good old tale of power and responsibility. Whenever you have the power to act, you must act. If you willingly don't, any bad situation happens because you didn't act.
On the beautiful book "Peace on Earth", he says that "my powers aren't gifts for me alone, but for everyone else". Whenever you are in position to do good, to "stand for those who can't stand for themselves", you must jump into action.
Lex is there to show the exact opposite of that. He is self-made for sure, but all he amounted to only benefits himself. Everything he ever achieved is a testament to his ever-growing ego.
Luthor could be a "Superman" if he wanted. With his brilliant mind and his science expertise, he could have already cured cancer! But his dillusions of grandeur and his narcissism and superiority complex prevent him from achieving true greatness.
If you are not in the position to save the whole World, then at least save YOUR World. Your family. Your loved ones. Be the Superman they need you to be in their lives.
If we all do that - if we follow Superman's example -, then we are all Superman.
I loved Superman as a little kid. But as I grew up, I let him go. I favoured edgy, "relatable" heroes with a superimposed shadow self, or very flawed individuals who are constantly on the brink of breaking bad. Batman, Punisher, Wolverine, Iron Man.
But recently, life made me understand that you need, at all times, a Superman within you. You must erect a stable, impenetrable, steel-made, Wall of Ethics and Moral. Impervious to egocentric desires, to instinct, to private agendas.
You must refuse mediocrity. You must refuse averageness. You must not envy others. You must not focus on stopping others from achieving success. You must build not only your success, but also the success of others around you. And you must do all this with confidence and with a smile.
To a certain degree, it was from watching "Batman v Superman", and from finding so strange and odd that Superman could ever doubt himself and actually believe that "no one stays good in this world" that I realized the exact opposite. YOU CAN STAY GOOD IN THIS WORLD. ALL IT TAKES IS FOR YOU TO NEVER COMPROMISE. NEVER.
(That is why I like Henry Cavill's Superman a lot, by the way.)
You must do the right thing JUST BECAUSE it is the right thing to do. That is what you must gravitate towards AT ALL TIMES.
I know this is all too cheesy and cringeworthy. But it is RIGHT. And I learned it from Superman.
The Stark Knight Returns And it’s a lesson that still stands today now and forever.
I don't think it's cringey.
@@akash377 Thank you my friend. I'm glad to see people understanding honest perspectives like these without being cynical or without mocking right from the start.
@@thestarkknightreturns You're welcome.
The thing that makes me angry about most writers portrayal of Superman is they treat Clark as the mask and Superman as the real person. He is always Clark pretending to be Superman...after growing up in Kansas you can’t just stop being who you are because someone gives you a red and blue suit. Clark is the real personality, he was raised in middle America and has all those values and morals. Currently Brian Michael Bendis wants Superman to lose his secret identity ( Clark ) but how do you lose who you really are and pretend your Superman all day?! He is just as human as all of us he just has powers and a level head on his shoulders. To me he has always been the most relatable character in comics because like him I like to have Hope and Believe we can all be better than we currently are one day.
In the tv show Lois and Clark, Clark tells Lois, "I'm Clark Kent, Superman is just something I can do."
Brian doesn't really understand superman which is why his comic sale is failing Dc. Before Brian took over, Superman was restore to what he was. Sadly i will not read any more Dc comic, it gotten really bad.
No, Clark is the alter ego, He was sent to earth dressed in the superman garb, those are his ACTUAL clothes. So.. no.. It's exactly the opposite of what you describe
Love this video, it's the reason I love this character. Felt like we were heading towards why he does during Man of Steel but didn't capitalize on in yet.
I'm so tired of seeing people shit on Superman just because he's big and powerful. Every superhero is overpowered, and that's not Superman's main character qualities. You got his motive exactly right, he's just a good man before the alien.
Check out perfect cell vs Superman by devil artmeis
I would wish to see the Story of how Superman became a Hero and not a villain. His experiences and Ideas, how he started to value every life and not seeing us as Ants.
I want to see Superman looking up to the Stars and reflect in his life. How he was as an inexperienced Hero, afraid to destroy everyone He loves by not beeing carefull, tempted to just use his power to force peace, shooked by the fact that not everyone had a childhood like his, instilled with values, learning that His values aren't the only ones as different societies developed different interpretations of this unbeleivable big and confusing universe.
And Most importantly, how he discoverred the impossibility to make everything right, but instead of giving Up on humanity, accepting his and everyone weaknesses and encourages them and himself to grow out of them. So that everyone if super or not, can become a proper Hu-man!
Watch the show Smallville. It's all about what made Clark become Superman. You will NOT be disappointed.
I l 💘 that show
@@JosephRussellStapleton I started rewatching that show at Thanksgiving and am now in the last season. It is so good.
@@teto85 awesome!
Read max Landis " superman american alien"
A very eloquent, articulate and accurate video. I 100% agree with everything you said here.
Yes this is Superman. Man of Steel had some elements in it but not enough.
Not nearly enough. Smallville was all about the character of Clark Kent, and what made him a hero. Without Smallville, I wouldn't have known about the amazing character of Superman, and wouldn't have liked him. Nothing else seems to do a good job with this at all.
Superman aka Man of steel
I have to say this, in my view, superman is two personalities in one person.
First is superman, the optimistic and a moral hero, who struggles with the world's cynicism and can't afford to do mistakes as people's livelihood is on the line. And yeah he is super strong.
Second is Clark Kent, who people can relate to, timid yet good hearted dork from kansas. Who alway struggles with his identity and can make mistakes sometimes.
I think balancing these two sides has been challenging to many writers. But there are writers who can do this.
That's the greatest challenge "how does one make God more human and relatable"...
WELL DONE!!!
This is the best video on this channel until today.
Does Lex story sound like someone, unfortunately, we all have to live with, for while at least?
Who'd be?
Love this video, made my day better. Thank you !!!
This is also why everytime he overcomes a character like Darkseid it is such a huge deal as well. Because the type of evil that Darkseid represents is even uglier than Lex.
Superman
The man of steel
The man of tomorrow
The god of strength
The savior of hope
Level Z Such great names for such a great Hero :)
@@lukeskywalkerthe2nd773 couldnt agree more
Something I find annoying is people always say "but he is overpowered and everything is easy" but that's because they think the only characters in DC are Batman villain level characters, not realising that Superman's villains are often far more powerful compared to him than Batman's are to Batman. Brainiac is a 12th level intellect with a giant ship that can steal cities, Doomsday is a bloodthirsty monster that even IF you can kill it it'll just come back stronger and angrier, Lex Luthor the smartest and richest man on Earth with an ego and ambition that dwarf both, Metallo is a robot with a Kryptonite heart(and he is probably Superman's weakest regular), Lobo is the main man, Mongul is a tyrant that has conquered hundreds of worlds, and the list goes on. All of them can kill Superman, most with their bare hands, he doesn't beat them by being better than them, he beats them by being *better* than them.
This guy gets it.
The original personality of Superman was more akin to Tarzan and John Carter (ERB characters), and John Wayne. He had utter confidence in his moral code and abilities, and a certain swagger when it came to confronting bad guys. That's been missing from most portrayals of him.
Superman Secret Origin and All Stars Superman. They’ve helped me understand Superman better than anything.
Luke, this video was really great, and the video doesn't even have footage of Christopher Reeves as Superman.
Really should have had some, glad you liked it anyway!
-DC Luke
Hybrid Network The video is great, even without Reeves' Superman.
Actually you did, the pic with the baby has the Reeve shield version
Superman... The BEST! ❤
His lack of progress? Nani? Superheroes dont progress much overall and thats not a bad thing.
I love superman and I always will and I’m glad that you highlighted the point that superman doesn’t stand above anyone but he’s himself as an equal. Superman is a great inspiration of mine and i believe in his example very much.
I never grow tired of seeing this video. And this video will be more resonant with what Bendis is doing to Clark. in case you haven't heard Bendis is having Superman no longer be Cark Kent. he writing him outing himself in this Decembers issue of Superman.
That's sounds terrible... If there is no Clark Kent there is not Superman, but contrary to that, even when there if not Superman there is always Clark Kent.
Love this video and agree with most of it. The only slight part that I disagree with is when you say that making him more realistic focuses too much on him being an alien and losing the human quality of him. Well, like it or not, he's still an alien and that's an important part of who he is. And it's another important reason why he's a superhero. He himself would never forget his alien origins. I would say if you enjoy a character, you can't just like part of them, or even half of them. You have to enjoy ALL of them. When you focus too much on his heroism or his humanity and not so much anything else then you turn him more into an idea instead of a character. In fact, other videos have pointed out that the alien origins could be a clear allegory for being an immigrant and establishing yourself in a strange place that is your new home. I think in making him more realistic and focusing on WHAT he is it makes it all the more impactful when he chooses to be a hero and inspiration for mankind.
Also, one thing we can't forget is execution is everything. If you make it like a "Day The Earth Stood Still" kind of story then yes that might be the case where we focus too much on the alien part. But if you make it more like a Moses story (which was a big inspiration for Superman when he was first created) then it could be really good and focus more on his connection with the people he is saving and his origins matter all the more too.
This needs more views!
The only on target comment about superman in the recent films, was in .justice League where Bruce Wayne tells Wonder Woman the Clark was the most human of any of them. He grew up in a normal family, has a job, fell in love. He is part of the real world in a way none of the rest of them are.
There's also the line in BvS: "The fact is, maybe he's not some sort of devil or Jesus character. Maybe he's just a guy trying to do the right thing."
This was great ! 👍👍👍
That's the main difference between Donner's Superman and Snyder's Man of Steel.
Donner understood that it was all about the "Why Superman does the things that he does" and showed it in his film. Whereas Snyder clearly doesn't understand this and instead focused on the how Superman does his feats
Thank you! I always say how MoS got Superman all wrong and idiotic Snydertards baselessly defend the film
@@shadowstrike234 right?! It's irritating as fuck! They always say "oh you aren't a fan of Superman, you are just nostalgic for the older movies!"
My teenage years were the most miserable years of my life but I always found solace in Superman and no matter how depressed and angry I was Superman always made me feel better
Man of Steel has been the only true superman story that really resonates with who and what the character is in movies. It's the best superman film to date, not the reeves version. The reeves version really just creates the image people have in their heads about who they think superman is instead of who he actually is. Superman's nature as an alien is important, it's his heritage and apart of him. Superman is an immigrant, and like most immigrants he has his own culture and home. Krypton is his home world and his culture is kryptonian. This is shown in the comics, Superman learns about his people and even learns his native language. Nothing is lost by giving that aspect of the character some focus, it also makes him more relatable because there are people who are immigrants and know what it's like to grow up in a whole new world and be different. Just like his creators. Man of Steel gave us the perfect superman story, because it showed us who superman is. Just a genuinely good person trying to do the right thing. That's who superman is. He starts off like he always does, lost and unsure of himself and of what he should do. He eventually learns what he can do for the world, the same thing he's been doing; helping people, which the movie does show.
Hi hybrid network
Sup
He is the first comic book superhero who inspired them all
I just loved your video ... thanks for making it .. superman forever 👍
My favorite line ever said by Superman comes from the Animated Series episode that introduced Volcana, where Superman is looking at the lair of the episode's villains and dryly laments, "My tax dollars at work."
He does not disguise himself as Clark Kent, Clark Kent disguise himself as Superman as a way to use his gifts to help the world take away all the powers he is just Clark Kent a farm boy from Kansas who move to a big city and became a reporter
I thought Kingdom Come encapsulates this pretty well. It’s a nice response to grim dark comics like Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns. It’s the Anti-Grim Dark comic book.
Don't forget about Justice League the New Frontier.
3:54 Da fuqs goin on with Supes NECK :O
Super neck one of Superman's many power's lol
I Love Superman love and ideas, i don't even live on usa. But he's Heart is amazing.
When it comes a hero I always remembered Superman
Wish I could fly like Superman
It's sad what modern comic book writers have done to Superman I bet Shuster and Siegel are rolling in their graves. Superman was created invincible with a shit load of abilities but was later reduced and nerfed many times over to push whatever characters the writers wished to push notably Batman. The Injustice arc is the worst coz no way in hell can Superman turn bad no matter what due to his strong moral compass. Batman is the most likely to turn bad but the problem with him is that he has no powers.
Bro, you got me balling. Great perspective
I think that my problem with superman isn't the idea behind him In fact that is my favorite part. My thing is Clark (Kal) (superman without being super) himself. I feel like his personality is boring. There is nothing that makes him pop or standout in the crowd other than his blue and red suit. I know people say that he is mild mannered but it tends to come off as bland, dull, boring. Like God left his personality on "Default". It feels like using the term "mild manned" is a cop out. (its not but sometimes it feels like it.) Think characters like ALL-Might (MHA) Saitama (OPM) Captain America, Spider-Man. They have a similar moral standing to Clark (always aiming to be better and do the right thing) but they have more definable personalities that can set them a part from those around them as people. They are not just inspiring, but they are fun to watch as they go about there lives, make decisions, and interact with people. Like if you had to spend a day with or hang out with , I'll say Kal (clark but not the bumbling idiot version) , so no powers no crime (God made a day with no crime), is that time FUN? Could his personality carry a fun conversation. I feel like id come home from that outing saying "eh, i guess he's cool" That's what I mean by Superman is boring. Not him as a hero and character, but as dude. He feels boring in his interactions with the people around him. Haven't read a whole lot but from what i have, that's what i get.
From the little that I've seen/read, my favorite version is the version from the kids cartoon justice league action. Hes a cool dude but he can come off as real corny sometimes and I think that adds a bit of humor to him. Is adds another layer to the integrations and conversations he has wit the people around him. Especially between him and Batman.
SUPERMAN FOREVER.
Spider-Man wouldn’t exist without Superman.
“Ba-Dah-Dum-Da-Dum-DUM-SUPERMAN!”
when i was a child i used to think Batman is the best superhero. What happened that made me change my mind? well, i grew up.
And yet people say that All Might is a superior hero just because of the smile
Wat
All Might is Superman done right.
All Might took notes :V
We need a Clark Kent movie
hes not better than us but the best of us and what we should aspire to be
I love how Dr. Manhattan is a deconstruction of who Superman is
Clark is Superman in the physical and moral sense, Luthor is Superman in the philosophical (Nietzschean) sense
When people say Superman is boring or unrelatable, I point to Superman Vs. The Elite.
Superman isnt just a character, he is an archetype.
A godly man who just wants to fit in
In Superman#705 Superman finds out a guy has been abusing his son and wife so he takes them to the police. When the policewoman says "Thank you Superman. You saved the mother and son. This needed you to get to the bottom of it." and Superman replies with "No it just needed someone with eyes and 10 cents worth of compassion." And I think that just sums up Superman perfectly.
He isn’t a god or anything of the sort. He is just a guy with compassion for others
I don’t think Superman has been turned into a villain lately because people are just so compelled by his powers and he has to be turned villainous to fully display them. I think Superman has been consistently turned into a villain because since the 1980s, superhero comics have mostly been focused on postmodernist deconstruction of optimistic and “heroic” characters. Ironically, the postmodern deconstruction became played out and boring within the span of just a few years whereas other genre movements of superhero comics lasted longer before they got old and played out, because by definition, “deconstruction” isn’t building anything that’s meant to be sustainable - it exists solely as a reaction to an established precedent. It fails to impress whenever it BECOMES the established precedent and all of a sudden it’s punching down. There’s nothing more boring or annoying than someone who is clearly fake, corporate, and lacking self-awareness that are trying to come off as subversive or anti-establishment, and that’s where comics and superhero media have gotten.
This is the same reason why Joker gets his own solo movies where he’s an oppressed incel and Harley Quinn is being consistently pushed into your face as an anti-hero too. We’re blurring the line between good guys and bad guys, implying that there are none and it’s all material circumstance that drives the world. This isn’t a sustainable way to tell stories. The straw that breaks the camel’s back for me is that they turned down Rocksteady’s pitch for a Superman game in favor of a Harley Quinn/Suicide Squad starred looter-shooter where the goal is literally to kill the evil good guys. It’s like okay, you’ve stopped producing Superman movies after you failed because you tried to make him an edgy anti-hero, but you’re continuing with a steady stream of Suicide Squad sequels/spin-offs even though that movie was by no means successful either, and now you’re literalizing your agenda against heroes in this ironically trendy type of game where you have to kill them.
I know the comics aren’t quite the same sort of situation, but that’s not what the mainstream sees and that’s not any young child’s first introduction to these characters. This generation of kids isn’t going to be introduced to Superman by Bruce Timm or Richard Donner or even Brian Michael Bendis, they’re going to be introduced to him by Zack Snyder and Netherrealm. If that isn’t alarming to Superman fans, I don’t know what would be
In a way, Superman is more like Cap. While the character has grown and matured in some ways, the core of his stories is about how much he STAYS the same. It's about his resolve, that despite how much the world slips into darkness, he REMAINS to be a beacon of hope, by overcoming those bleak odds. That to me is the most human lesson ever. Yes, how he approaches things can change and mature, but WHY he does it must never change. He does it simply because it's a good thing to do.
Also, how damaged do you have to be to think that you can't just do good for the sake of good.
I love Superman is amazing.
Superman is the GOAT:
The Greatest Of All Time!
