"oh my goodness gracious I've been bamboozled" ~Jason Todd, 2005, it's ashame that line didn't make it in
I think the Under the Red Hood movie is the perfect adaptation, because all of the changes were to improve the story. It makes the story more streamlined and less complex, as well as less complex. Some stuff isn't needed, like Batman talking to other heroes and the whole Superboy Prime stuff.
I agree with you, mostly. I think some parts of it come off as lesser due to lack of context. Like Black Mask's empire being dismantled like this is far more contortic and ironic in the comic mostly because of Stephanie Brown's, at the time recent death.(Yes, that was retconned, but story was written before that was revealed) at the hands of Black Mask. He made his empire off the death of a Robin, he loses it because a Robin returns.
I'm not sure if its ironic, but it feels like it should be.
the same thing with the death of Superman and the Reign of the Supermen
the cartoon was much better than the comic
So glad this series is back
this video was amazing it would be great to see you discuss the differences between long halloween source material and its adaption as the two have a lot of differences between them(mostly due to the adaption being part of the tomorrowverse i am guessing)
Great stuff! As Black Mask's number 1 fanboy, that was really cool to hear extra stuff about him from Judd Winick himself. Ive learned a lot of stuff from this video, even if my left ear rings a little bit now 😁
I was okay with the Society's trio being replaced by this "Fearsome Hand of Four" OCs, I just kinda wish Deathstroke got a small cameo being the contact between that new merc crew and Roman Sionis.
Slade and Sionis had good chemistry in the comics, so I was hoping for some of that...
Mr Freeze being removed, I can get behind since they had to make room for Ra's al Ghul in the story (voiced by Jason Isaacs, who always nails his DC roles).
I'm perfectly okay with the added Joker material, and in the long run it made the "Death in the Family" interactive movie possible, so, good call there.
Riddler replacing Captain Boomerang made sense back then, since the general audience was way more familiar with Nygma... but it's funny to think that with Digger's popularity having exploded like that, if made today they would have totally kept him in ^^
When it comes to other medias referencing UTRH, I know that the show *Titans* has a bit of an iffy reputation, but I really enjoyed how, in season 3, they adapted the scene of Red Hood organizing a meeting with the heads of Gotham's crime families and intimidates them into working for him.
Now we have that scene on pages, animated, and in live action \o/
What a time to be alive.
Anyway, great video in general; considering how popular Red Hood is, I'm hoping this one blows up to "Green Lantern villain arc" level of views ^^
Between the Wild Dog video a couple months ago, and Under the Hood today, you're spoiling us DC fans.
A reason in the for column for removing Deathstroke, is because that would add extra baggage.
Great video. I feel like I must've missed part of it, because one of the cuts part was Bruce talking about how/who made Jason's coffin. So if you mentioned that part, I missed it. That is my favourite moment from the comic, because it shows both the care and love Bruce had for Jason, that he wanted him buried in a coffin made by the same man that did his parents, but it also shows his insecurity; 'The coffin maker not being capable, passing on the task to his son. Who the coffin maker says had surpassed him' to paraphrase and Bruce wonders if this was the case here.
That's just a great moment of doubt that makes him more human.
I'm a lover of the comic and animated feature. But I'm always of two minds about the entire event. On one hand, it might be one of my favorite Batman stories, on the other the simplified version of 'Death in the Family' that we see in both really under sells Jason's character. And I get why, it is a far simpler story and that is easier to get across to the audience and it fixes Shiva's issue in that storyline(where she claims under truth serum she has no children but turns out to have had Cass already, given she's about Jason's age).
But that underselling hurts his characterization overall.
Same with the change to the final confrontation between Batman, Jason, Joker. On one hand, we remove the Chemo explodes thing and keep the emotional focus between the characters here, rather than Jason suddenly not caring that Dick is dead(which tracks with latter depications of him sure, but him wanting any of the Batfamily dead undercuts his moral arguments and I dislike that) potentially. On the other hand, Jason's demand to choose between Jason and the Joker makes no sense here.
Much like a pardoy video points out, Batman walking away is a answer. Jason kills the Joker then and there.
Jason turning the gun on him is the story taking the easy way out to me. I didn't like the comic having Batman slit Jason's throat, don't get me wrong. BUt that doesn't mean the replacement is superior. You can essentially frame the comic it as Batman failing in this arc in the comic and a loss is sometimes more interesting. Where he proves his superiority in the movie to Jason. And that isn't as interesting.
And in many ways, its a story of Batman vs a Victim. And when viewed like that it is also about the story of Revenge vs Justice.
A lot of excellent points all around, and my reason for the coffin scene being omitted is for a few things.
1. While it is great, it isn't *super* relevant to the overall story arc, so much so that it's left out of the movie entirely and I also didn't anything to say about it other than that it's a good scene.
2. Time. This video is already my longest comic-related video to date at a whopping 35 minutes and took me over three weeks of nothing but editing to complete. I had to pick my battles on what to talk about or leave out, lest the runtime end up even longer and take even longer to come out.
3. While I hope to generate discussion with these videos, I never, *ever* want my videos to act as a substitute for experiencing these stories for oneself. If one knows what to look for, they'd see that I do regularly leave out details and subplots so that if any viewers decide to check these stories out for themselves, there's still plenty to experience firsthand without already being spoiled.
But again, the coffin thing is a genuinely good scene and serves as a good reflection of Bruce's view of Jason as a son. And yeah, the climax of the comic and the movie alike make either Bats or Jason look stupid for different reasons, Jason could've taken the walking away as Bruce letting him kill Joker rather than pointing the gun at his father figure instead, I still don't get that.
I’m completely fine with Batman’s answer for why he doesn’t kill. Yes, he heavily believes in rehabilitation and redemption, but his morality has always been multifaceted. This is just another side of why he does what he does the way he does
Better comeback than purple guy in fnaf 3!
'ello u 🤠
