He got the flying powers from the radio show, which was what the cartoon was adapting more than the comics. The intro is the same as the radio show. The old serial movies were also adapting the radio stuff more than the comics too. A lot of stuff came from the old radio show like kryptonite and flying, and I think a couple of other powers came from it too. Modern Superman was shaped a lot by that radio show. The Fleischer cartoons might be the peak of western animation outside of feature length films, I honestly can't think of another western cartoon that was animated that beautifully besides Disney movies and the like. Those shorts had an insane budget.
Glad to see I'm not the only one who liked avengers assembled like I never understood the hate for it, the ultimate spiderman cartoon and hulk agents of S.M.A.S.H. They're pretty good and enjoyable on their own
It's because Spectacular Spider-Man, Wolverine and the X-Men, and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes are just objectively better and because people were big mad, as they should be, that EMH in particular was cancelled for Assembled and its verse. Those shows aren't bad, they're just... a significant downgrade when all is said and done compared to what Marvel animation we were eating good with immediately before. It's cool though that the Assembled-verse is a lot more inter-connected tho, I'll give it that... even if I really don't have an idea when certain things are supposed to have happened in relation to other things.
@@Lutherstrode17492 Not really? He just had a midlife crisis and decided to do something for himself for the first time in his life. I wouldn't call that bad at all.
@@jahrusalem3658 He abandoned his city and let a psychopath with super powers terrorize and kill thousands of people. Not to mention, he is partially responsible for Titan’s creation.
@@Lutherstrode17492 Metro Man had nothing to do with Titan's creation, he just had his powers. MEGAMIND was responsible for everything Titan did, which I'd like to add that at NO POINT was it even implied that Titan killed someone. He just stole shit and wrecked the city. Metro Man even says that he doesn't need to help because Megamind was perfectly able to do it himself and he was right. Hell, Titan wasn't even a problem when Metro Man faked his death, he knew Metro City would be fine because he knew that Megamind was only a villain because it was fun. He never actually wanted to hurt people. Metro Man is selfish sure, but he's not evil. He just wanted to live for himself, not following the will of others his whole life. I can't blame him for that, most people would do the same thing.
I love that you just dont elaborate on what you don't enjoy about characters or the shows there. "There are moments", "there are plotlines," blah blah, no elaboration.
Funny as heck list, loved it...but I really wonder where Gladiator from X-Men TAS or X-Men '97 would place. He's quite possibly THE Superman copycat from Marvel without much morals.
@jahrusalem3658 I guess he only chosed the Superman copycats from TV shows and cartoons...and Sentry has oddly never appeared in those. But maybe he's debute in the Thunderbolts movie.
One day a good writer who has decent IQ will write a good superman knock off who uses his powers realistically and also has character. Till then, i'll drink milk
What Henry do to deserve this Zack Snyder Honestly the best Beginning peak And you just watch the black and white version And there is another version Color version
Superman 1978 bellow Omni-man and Homelander is something I disagree but I guess I am thinking more about the general concept of Superman(I haven't watched the movie)... against metroman I don't feel qualified enough to opinate, Metroman is a great charact- the movie Mega-Mind is a great movie and anyone that likes superheroes should watch it.
That superman is sooooooo goood. It's so refreshing to get such a relatable and charming superman. Especially with Lois and Jimmy being so much more fleshed out in show rather than just being superman and friends.
I have to say I am confused by your hatred for Invincible when you always compare him to Spider-Man, who you do like. What would you say is the major differentiating factor?
@@Amick2003 I've seen his videos, and perhaps I'm just not capable of understanding his rationale, but I nevertheless don't understand: what makes Mark a terribly written character?
@@aab1254 Nah bro. If you watched two seasons of Mark bumbling around and you still like it, ain’t no one changing your mind. And that’s ok. We can have different opinions.
To me the best Superman is super mega-dark platinum ball sack ultimate superman from dimension 196-5, he has 11th dimension tier powers, it’s mult-transDmentional+ and can solo 99% of all fictional
He really doesn't, tho, and the proponents of this idea are no more ready to hear why than they are to hear why Miyazaki or a bunch of other manga people are actually more iconic than Toriyama-san.
Rsg, look man, im sorry for ruining metro man for you, but here it goes: Metro man himself says the he wanted to quit being a hero because there was no point in doing it anymore and the outcome to every fight with megamind was always the same. Now here's the thing: He NEVER had to fight megamind. It was as easy as freezing time at the first sign of megamind being out of jail and carrying him back. Im pretty damn sure metro man can carry megamind since he has superhuman strength, so unless I'm missing something here or megamind's big-ass head is way too heavy for a person with superhuman strength, metro man is written inconsistently (again, sorry for ruining him for you).
@@HenriqueM-jh1ye Goku isnt a knock off and I never said he should be on the list. But to deny the inspiration Superman had on him would be silly. I mean, to many, he is considered the anime Superman. I just think All Might is a watered down version of Superman and Goku is far better, with him having similar heroic traits but also showing the "indominable human spirit" better than All Might ever could.
@@train123z The only inspiration is his alien origin, because their personalities, goals and role in their respective universe are nothing alike. And that's actually a minor character inspired by Superman in DBZ World - Suppaman. He could've make this list. Goku is more a explorer and a fighter than a hero. What isn't a problem at all, I think he's great character and makes a lot of sense as the protagonist of DB world (that's completely different of DC or BNHA worlds).
@@HenriqueM-jh1ye All I'm saying is there's a reason why Goku is known as Anime's Superman to most people. The fact that he's so different whilst having such similar qualities is the reason why they're compared so much despite Goku being a completely original character in every other sense. All Might is just a cheap imitation of Superman to me. I used to liked MHA when I was younger and even then he never really interested me. I just don't like knockoffs characters in general. I'm fine with inspired characters but most of the ones on this list will never escape Superman's shadow and that's the reason why I stick with the OG.
Some of these takes about Smallville & Superman and lois especially the tier listing is....something 😐 ultraman is a version of superman from earth 3 that's evil he's apart of the crime cyndicate
Well, i disagree with this tier list. I am conflicted in how to perceive it though. Half way through i thought you don't understand superman if a more cynical and messed up version of him is more relatable. How he is symbol of hope, man of tommorow as a superman, one of least cynical heroes and as clark kent his real self pretty good and nice guy, relatable to confident honest working man and in some interoretations also struggles with being different, all of these things of course covered more or less, differently or not at all from interpretation to interpretation. Sometimes badly very poorly likr is is jesus instead of kind man from kansas. Then when homelander and tighten got S tier i thought i got confirmation, since they are not relatable to me at all, so bitter, so entitled and power hungry. And i can get angry pretty i am very flawed, bit these two are... Some people look up to homelander and it scares me. Either that or maybe this is trolling and i thought too much of this piece of entertainment.
Omniman is the best because he kills and he could beat superman with one big punch easily. Superman is a BIG DUMMY because he doesn't even kill his greatest enemy the trickster.
There's more starmen waiting in the sky than I knew there were.
Indubitably
Homelander and Omni man art not starmen
But not all them would like to come and meet us
They think they'll blow our minds
Some of them are meteormen about to collide with Earth.
“Truly amazing writing executed in the most perfect perfect way”
C tier.
Ending made me crack up lmao
The Nega Chin!
lego superman is the best character ever made
Yh ikr, I LOVE Lego Superman!
Thanks for watching guys
Np
Thanks for making the vid!
Lego superman beats the shit out of everyone else btw
That's a nice joke
@@Kellen-bj3jywhat’s the joke?
Putting Lego Superman in C Tier is devious work bro, why would you do my man like that he's the best of the bunch
One of our best Supermens
RSG is that guy who says so much you agree with and yet still has the ability to make you disagree and then feel bad about it😂
Love this guy
ranking lego batman 2’s supes is the second most based thing you could have possibly done. the first most based thing would be ranking him in S tier
Shout out to dax flame in the begining
Superman is THE best superhero and THE poster boy for all heroes
You forgot that little twerp from BrightBurn. Remember that movie? Me neither. C tier.
I feel like I really appreciate Superman more now that I'm older.
this guy just really likes c tier
That ending caught me so off guard I started laughing so much I was crying and wheezing. 😂
you gotta watch the Fleischer Studios series of Superman cartoons
it's an animation marvel (I think superman got his flying powers from there)
He got the flying powers from the radio show, which was what the cartoon was adapting more than the comics. The intro is the same as the radio show.

@@wingusdingus4958Also got the Kryptonite weakness from the radio
Basically the video, superman gyatt vs Homelander gyatt vs Omni man gyatt
Bro tf 💀
Honestly TAS Superman and 78 Superman should've been A tier without them no other non comic Superman would be done well

nah all other cartoon marvel universes are better that's why
Zech Snyde’s Superman is F- teir
I agree with the cavil take but I rly liked the Superman animated series, imo it deserves A tier
Metro Man is objectively the best Superman Clone ever created.

I love that you just dont elaborate on what you don't enjoy about characters or the shows there. "There are moments", "there are plotlines," blah blah, no elaboration.
I know right? Perfect for not wasting time on annoying fanboys.
So bland, badly written and without character is not enough elaboration, on a tier list video mind you, for you?
THE WHAT CHIN?!?!?!
4:58 Was that really necessary?
I already clocked out when he put Smallville in D Tier.
I'd love to see you do more tier list videos, I think they're pretty funny to watch.
I feel insulted somehow.
lego superman is the GOAT
Thx for giving Homelander the love he deserves.

What Henry do to deserve this Zack Snyder Honestly the best Beginning peak And you just watch the black and white version And there is another version Color version
I think the Sentry is the best Superman clone.
You should add/go over the Plutonian he’s an evil version of Superman and id say he’s pretty underrated
I saw DCAU Superman in the thumbnail and he better be in S tier
Superman W?
You forgot Brandon Routh, Superman Returns [2006].

If Hancock isn’t in this we riot
I'm a little surprised. Supreme or Plutonian aren't on the list
Should've include all the DC animated movies. Specially superman vs the elite
Don't mind me asking but are you considering reviewing Breaking Bad, or Better Call Saul in the future?
Obviously I think the shows are good but I don't know if I'll get around to reviewing them. I plan to move on from youtube in 2025 so we'll see.

He really doesn't, tho, and the proponents of this idea are no more ready to hear why than they are to hear why Miyazaki or a bunch of other manga people are actually more iconic than Toriyama-san.

Where does Legacy from Sentinels of the Multiverse land on the list?
