It saddens me immensely to know that the cover of superman scarfing down 10 platoons worth of mcdonalds out of fear of starvation is of some plot of a metal alloy stealing the sun power, instead of the immensely cooler idea of the villain of the week having some kind of rapid starvation power, which requires superman to balance kicking his ass with devouring any food in sight
Fuck. Reminds me of a Justice League villain that attacked by making all the heroes fall asleep. Bats was the last left standing so he stopped in front of a diner or something. Pushed everyone in line aside, and demanded some coffee.
Er... Huggbees, me old mucker... the term "Chinese Junk" is not in fact a dated racist trope. It's literally just the name of a type of traditional sailing ship from China, which the old sailor was whittling a model of.
Well yes but just about anything " affordably" produced in West Taiwan (china) Can likely be described as junk. This unsolicited anti-sino opinion is brought to you by boredom
In defense of Lois Lane's fiancée, I would believe my partner had ESP if she saved a waiter from tripping if I lived in the DC universe. Freaking everyone has superpowers in that world!

Broke: Evil Superman is a dictator that kills anyone that even slightly opposes him Woke: Evil Superman is just him being a nuisance who does petty stuff like stealing ice cream or causing traffic jams.
People discussed a hypothetical Earth-3 where good *does* triumph over evil, and Ultraman is like a random event- he causes problems and then leaves once he’s bored or one of the heroes defeats him (presumably in the manner of a mythological trickster)

A junk (Chinese: 船; pinyin: chuán) is a type of Chinese sailing ship characterized by a central rudder, an overhanging flat transom, watertight bulkheads, and a flat-bottomed design. They are also characteristically built using iron nails and clamps. The term applies to many types of small coastal or river ships, usually serving as cargo ships, pleasure boats, or houseboats, but also ranging in size up to large ocean-going vessels. There can be significant regional variations in the type of rig and the layout of the vessel.

18:20 There's a kind of boat called "Junk", and given that it's a chinese type of ship and this comic is old as hell, maybe this phrase didn't have malicious intent But then again, we're talking about old USA, so maybe it was malicious and I'm a fool
Talking of weaknesses and clever solutions. There's an comic where superman spends his entire week dressed up as an giant bird in order to scare an talking bird to telling everyone about his secret identity. Superman has nothing better to do with his time than wearing bird costume and yelling at a parrot, parrot he is supposed to be taking care of.
40:10 - I'm actually sort of amazed that that isn't a comic run or event for Spider-Man, actually. Him having to get money for treatment for Aunt may, or whatever, that he can't just freestyle himself. Like SIGNIFICANTLY better than the mephisto plot, think of him having to try to come up with money while still fighting crime, on a ticking clock but still having to refuse to steal, even if it's easy, like a money bag just straight up blowing into the air mid robbery - and he has to web it up and return it, even if it was considered lost by that point. Is he gonna be bounty hunting? Abusing his image to get paid for photoshoots or interviews? Turning himself in for the reward or something? Neglecting his morals and working at oscorp or whatever for the stupidly high pay, despite knowing his work will be used for profit rather than helping people? Hell, you could even end up having that be the catalyst for an identity reveal, or a wedge between him and MJ, having to essentially become a celebrity and use their lives as a show for income. Idk, rambling. But I can see so many ways that Peter being GENUINELY DESPERATE for money, not for himself, but for family or friends, would be one of the biggest possible moral tests of his character and drive. Batman has the no killing rule, but Spider-Man doubtless would struggle with the seeming upcoming necessity of breaking the law and his own code of ethics that he's beaten and jailed people for.
It looks like the old man was partway through magically changing into his evil sea king costume, and the boots happen to look just like Aquaman's footwear.
"Superman, surely you aren't going to accept that money" "Lois, I have bills to pay, do you know how expensive cleaning blood and mud off of spandex? Or even having an apartment that's zoned for flying?"
Ya know there’s a robot chicken skit about Lois sending Clark back in time to remind her about pointless stuff, he then meets himself while time traveling and realizes he’s shitty relationship… it ends with them putting her while she’s in her car in a pit of quicksand, boop boop boop boop boop boop Superman!
Yea and there's another i recall vaguely where they actually did make superman a dick to everyone around him but he goes with that same catchphrase you said. Wait yea i look it up. It was one where he gave his powers up to many lovers that was one i was thinking of one of them was batman
It probably wouldn’t’ve taken much longer if Clark just did the money thing as a sort of a side-thing; he saves the miner but then demands money for fixing the mine, he can do all that extra stuff because he takes a vacation as Clark Kent, he cashes in on bounties- basically he still does Superman stuff, but he does money stuff instead of his Clark Kent stuff
Solid JJ being Superman in this brings a big grin on my face. I don't know how to fix my face now, it's kind of stuck like this, I'll give whoever can send me an ambulance 20 bucks because that's all i have
yeahhhhh..... you dont want that ambulance. most of us are american. and you only got 20 bucks. you cant afford to look at an ambulance let alone have one come to your aid.
Wow 20 bucks! As an American that will pay for 1/10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000th of my hospital bills!
My dad is a Superman STAN like two shelves of merch including kids toys, pencils, and travel napkins kind of stan. I can’t believe I never once thought “I wonder why Superman is being a dick in like so many of these covers??” He also mostly only has the ones where he’s abusing Batman.
I wonder his opinion of Batman than:) Also sounds like a valuable collection and a great comic fan. I wonder if he fell in love with Superman from the films or just something else he probably treasure.
40:40 Okay, unironically I do think Superman was entitled to the cash reward. Like the plot was bad, but I'd love it if you actually explored a story where the US government, whether just a city or the country as a whole, began paying superheroes for the bounties on criminals, Super or Not.
I will defend this by about 10%. You have to remember that when a lot of these comics were coming out they were being written for people that were semi-illiterate. So the stories had to be simple and they had to literally spell everything off for everyone because if not they would have no fucking clue what was the happening. They actually used to get a lot of letters about it. So they had to dumb everything down. They just never stopped.

25:31 Proteus is in fact a minor god of ancient greece whose only described ability was seeing the future and being a shapeshifter who will avoid capture at all costs and will only reveal the future to those who can capture him. Also he is described as "old man of the sea" in Homer's writings but so are others. They took a lot of creative liberties with this comic version but he is the Snowflame of the Sea so I gotta love him, *and* he actually shapeshifted!
I saw that BATB episode you mentioned while binging the series after I saw your Superman Clickbait video. I was able to appreciate the reference because of you.
Been a Batman guy most of my life recently gotten into Superman. Best silly silver-age stuff was the mini Superman he shot out of his hand, and lil Superman was getting all the glory so big Superman plots to kill him but the little guy gives up his life to save the day and supes is like “aweh man a true hero that guy” But my favorite has been the radio plays. Superman fighting a random gorilla and chasing an “auto-gyro” are a couple of his best.
@@jamalwalker04 The only thing _separating_ Batman from his villains is the fact he doesn't kill anybody. Batman's a lonely and rich costumed lunatic and the only reason his antics *aren't* considered a problem is that he actively tries to prevent death and destruction instead of being ambivalent to it.
@@jamalwalker04 considering batman is just as insane as his villains, he's likely afraid of the idea that if he kills he'll wind up being no better than them. Slippery Slope sorta thing
41:15 An oversupply of diamonds and precious metals driving down the price would be a good thing, as the industries are exploitative and environmentally harmful. Additionally, everyone working those industries would be freed up to add productivity to other fields. Superman is restraining himself to protect a status quo of child slavery diamond mines.

Right, but that carving is absolutely the hull of a junk
both? both.
I was about to chime in with that.
Pasta fasool, you are a fool
The moment I heard him, I knew it had to be Solidjj doing that Superman voice. Couldn't have better than the both of you in one video. Cheers.
18:17
There actually is a type of ship made by the Chinese that's known as a Junk. You might have seen it in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
Yes I was looking for someone to have said this!
Just unforunate phrasing
Talking of weaknesses and clever solutions. There's an comic where superman spends his entire week dressed up as an giant bird in order to scare an talking bird to telling everyone about his secret identity.
Superman has nothing better to do with his time than wearing bird costume and yelling at a parrot, parrot he is supposed to be taking care of.
The first time Superman speaks; “is that…?”
The second sentence; “IT IS! IT ACTUALLY IS!”
Yeah solidjj has such iconic voices
40:10 - I'm actually sort of amazed that that isn't a comic run or event for Spider-Man, actually.
Him having to get money for treatment for Aunt may, or whatever, that he can't just freestyle himself.
Like SIGNIFICANTLY better than the mephisto plot, think of him having to try to come up with money while still fighting crime, on a ticking clock but still having to refuse to steal, even if it's easy, like a money bag just straight up blowing into the air mid robbery - and he has to web it up and return it, even if it was considered lost by that point.
Is he gonna be bounty hunting?
Abusing his image to get paid for photoshoots or interviews?
Turning himself in for the reward or something?
Neglecting his morals and working at oscorp or whatever for the stupidly high pay, despite knowing his work will be used for profit rather than helping people?
Hell, you could even end up having that be the catalyst for an identity reveal, or a wedge between him and MJ, having to essentially become a celebrity and use their lives as a show for income.
Idk, rambling. But I can see so many ways that Peter being GENUINELY DESPERATE for money, not for himself, but for family or friends, would be one of the biggest possible moral tests of his character and drive.
Batman has the no killing rule, but Spider-Man doubtless would struggle with the seeming upcoming necessity of breaking the law and his own code of ethics that he's beaten and jailed people for.
It looks like the old man was partway through magically changing into his evil sea king costume, and the boots happen to look just like Aquaman's footwear.
"Superman, surely you aren't going to accept that money"
"Lois, I have bills to pay, do you know how expensive cleaning blood and mud off of spandex? Or even having an apartment that's zoned for flying?"
Ya know there’s a robot chicken skit about Lois sending Clark back in time to remind her about pointless stuff, he then meets himself while time traveling and realizes he’s shitty relationship… it ends with them putting her while she’s in her car in a pit of quicksand, boop boop boop boop boop boop Superman!
Yea and there's another i recall vaguely where they actually did make superman a dick to everyone around him but he goes with that same catchphrase you said.
Wait yea i look it up. It was one where he gave his powers up to many lovers that was one i was thinking of one of them was batman
It probably wouldn’t’ve taken much longer if Clark just did the money thing as a sort of a side-thing; he saves the miner but then demands money for fixing the mine, he can do all that extra stuff because he takes a vacation as Clark Kent, he cashes in on bounties- basically he still does Superman stuff, but he does money stuff instead of his Clark Kent stuff
Solid JJ being Superman in this brings a big grin on my face.
I don't know how to fix my face now, it's kind of stuck like this, I'll give whoever can send me an ambulance 20 bucks because that's all i have
*_✨✨Lightspeed Face Massage✨✨_*
yeahhhhh..... you dont want that ambulance. most of us are american. and you only got 20 bucks. you cant afford to look at an ambulance let alone have one come to your aid.
@@halogeek6 No no, I'll pay my medical bills through my arousing charm and physique, trust. : )
As soon as I heard that voice I'm like... It's him it's the guy
Wow 20 bucks! As an American that will pay for 1/10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000th of my hospital bills!
My dad is a Superman STAN like two shelves of merch including kids toys, pencils, and travel napkins kind of stan. I can’t believe I never once thought “I wonder why Superman is being a dick in like so many of these covers??”
He also mostly only has the ones where he’s abusing Batman.
I wonder his opinion of Batman than:)
Also sounds like a valuable collection and a great comic fan. I wonder if he fell in love with Superman from the films or just something else he probably treasure.
25 seconds in and he's already insulted us. It's like a warm hug.
...bees.
@@crumpettrashgoblin bu dun tisk
Content creators should insult their audiences more, tbf
19:46 Pufferfish don't even inflate themselves with air, they fill themselves with water.
40:40 Okay, unironically I do think Superman was entitled to the cash reward. Like the plot was bad, but I'd love it if you actually explored a story where the US government, whether just a city or the country as a whole, began paying superheroes for the bounties on criminals, Super or Not.
Old enough to remember the thumbnail being superman melring a kids icecream while autographing a page with loser
Jesus Christ you're old
Every fucking time I comment there's a typo I blame Kal-el
I will defend this by about 10%. You have to remember that when a lot of these comics were coming out they were being written for people that were semi-illiterate. So the stories had to be simple and they had to literally spell everything off for everyone because if not they would have no fucking clue what was the happening. They actually used to get a lot of letters about it. So they had to dumb everything down.
They just never stopped.
God, we've improved so much since the 50s. I mean, I know that's obvious, but holy shit, we really take our public education system for granted!
Did you say public school system? Excuse me, the correct name is COMMUNIST school system! Certain services like education and car infrastructure cannnot be in control of a public authority in capitalism. 🌈 @@dracocrusher
The problem is that if they stop dumbing things down, then they'll start getting angry letters from the semi-illiterate gang
Yeah basically up until like, the 50s or early 60s having an education was considered like, a privilege for most people.
@@thecaptain6520 Hah, reminds me of the simpsons, with lisa protesting to skinner about making the school more challenging, but then he says he'd have to deal with the dumb students protesting to him, frowning in a vague attempt to understand the situation
59:41 “Superman’s turned into a real di-fferent person.” 😂
the timing couldn't be better, I was watching Solid JJ's with you in it ong
It took me a while to notice that Solidjj was voicing Superman! I thought that was just you putting on a different voice!
"I don't know how you could ever be depressed when you have heat vision"
You could probably ask that question to Homelander.
Puffer fish don't inflate with air though, they inflate with water. Where would the air come from?
The atmosphere abviously/j
My favorite part of the video was Huggbees not knowing what a Junk is
3:20 turned it back to 1x speed for getting so called out
Turned it up to 2x since that reminded me I forgot to turn it back after watching a few music videos
3:08
As a certified x2 enjoyer, try to catch me, I'm too fast to he stopped, don't push me into breaking out the x4 plug-in huggbees, I'm the Usain bolt of video essays.
Dear god…
He's too powerfull quickly get a freeze ray to trip up this speedster
@@FivePebbles-e8s there's more. Spud isn't alone. All across the world are those of us with this power. While you waste your life away watching unnecessarily long videos, we are out here imprinting that knowledge straight into our brains. In a few years, we can achieve light-speed understanding of concepts, and solve every problem on the planet single-handedly. Cower in fear, for we will not stop.
@@NottSaying *terrified screaming intensifies*
You people are why I watch every video on .25 speed.
Twice.
25:31 Proteus is in fact a minor god of ancient greece whose only described ability was seeing the future and being a shapeshifter who will avoid capture at all costs and will only reveal the future to those who can capture him.
Also he is described as "old man of the sea" in Homer's writings but so are others. They took a lot of creative liberties with this comic version but he is the Snowflame of the Sea so I gotta love him, *and* he actually shapeshifted!
I saw that BATB episode you mentioned while binging the series after I saw your Superman Clickbait video. I was able to appreciate the reference because of you.
Been a Batman guy most of my life recently gotten into Superman. Best silly silver-age stuff was the mini Superman he shot out of his hand, and lil Superman was getting all the glory so big Superman plots to kill him but the little guy gives up his life to save the day and supes is like “aweh man a true hero that guy”
But my favorite has been the radio plays. Superman fighting a random gorilla and chasing an “auto-gyro” are a couple of his best.
The SolidJJ superman impression can't be replaced its too good.
Hearing Solid JJ without the voice filter feels illegal
Superman for some reason murders a lot of people while Batman shows us you don't have to kill. Solidjj got it all on the nose 😂
Hey it's not his fault the only things that can reasonably challenge him are gods
Or rocks@@kameronhall4448
To be fair Batman should probably kill some of his villains
@@jamalwalker04 The only thing _separating_ Batman from his villains is the fact he doesn't kill anybody. Batman's a lonely and rich costumed lunatic and the only reason his antics *aren't* considered a problem is that he actively tries to prevent death and destruction instead of being ambivalent to it.
@@jamalwalker04 considering batman is just as insane as his villains, he's likely afraid of the idea that if he kills he'll wind up being no better than them. Slippery Slope sorta thing
41:15 An oversupply of diamonds and precious metals driving down the price would be a good thing, as the industries are exploitative and environmentally harmful.
Additionally, everyone working those industries would be freed up to add productivity to other fields.
Superman is restraining himself to protect a status quo of child slavery diamond mines.
You know, this popped up in my notifications at the same time as a media critique regarding abuse in hollywoo. I think we all know which video is more important.
did you watch it now
Which video was it?
7:45 after hearing Huggbees'es voice in a Solidjj skit, this is to be expected, yet it caught me off guard
Batman with other people's girlfriends:
You’re the guy who’s always one of the top comments on shady doorag’s videos
Batman banging a girl who is 20 years younger than him that also happens to be the girlfriend/ex-girlfriend of his adoptive son:
Watching Huggbees' hands in the reflection of his sunglasses is a mesmerising experience.
Watched this entire video at 2x out of spite
Ok just found out it affects retention time metrics will watch a second time at .25 speed
"wheeeeeeeeeeeee!!! i love flying!!!!" *falls through a roof and starts talking about how long its been since he talked about a man who wears blue and red*
best intro ever
20:45 YOOOO ITS THE BEST PLANE EVER MADE the borzoi supersonic jet bomber is peak plane design
The Solid JJ crew being here for the voice acting is all I need to be happy
18:10 I don't wanna be an "Umm Actually Guy", but a Junk is a type of Chinese sailboat.
I was about to say
Great Caesar's Ghost, a Brave and the Bold recommendation at the end! I loved that series! Though I think there was at least one episode of that series that did try some genuine Bat-dickery, with a Death Race that Batman and Green Arrow seemed oddly willing to compete and unalive each other in.
Finally. Another huggbees video containing hours of visual editing, which I will exclusively listen to while doing chores or going to sleep
No wonder why back then people considered a person reading comic books "A nerd" just hearing all these stuff make me feel like a bully in 1980s
Huggbees in a cape is something I never knew I needed
Edit: hope you escape the Reds, Mr. Huggbees
i want an entire 1 hour loop of huggbees flying through the sky making the wees and the woos like a small child in a rollercoster
Old man of the sea, the only villain that could leave the joker traumatized
I love the fact that they thought Puffer Fish somehow just magically generate air, as opposed to, oh, I don't know... swelling with water.
Father, please, we are starving. Feed us. The food supply had been depleted in the basement
Honestly I'd be here for more Brave and the Bold praise. It's genuinely top tier comic nonsense, and is just a fun love letter to the Silver Age.

I’m a titanic buff and seeing it sink with the bow up is killing me much more than it should
I appreciate the jump in editing quality
2:14 "This entire concept of Superman pissing the audience off for sales is known around the internet as... *ADVERTISING* "
They should make a cartoon animating just the craziest comics ever made. Call it something like Silver Age Madness.
The elicit euphoria that flooded through my veins when I heard SolidJJ's voice is indescribable 😫😫😫
Why'd you call me out like that for watching on 2x speed Huggbees what the hell man
Whatever you are, you may as well be super at it. Superman, Supergirl, Superannuation, Supermacy, oops that's supremacy, Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, Superbad, Super is ready ....
I opened the video, saw within a minute that I wasn't subscribed to Huggbees, thought "well that's stupid", and subscribed.
youtube probably unsubbed you it does that to me constantly
21:45 So in DC Comics, Moby Dick canonically swallowed Jonah?
Entirety of Injustice of definitely didn't help the Man of Steel either. I wouldn't be surprised if he had the label *Killer of Prositutes* since.. Ya know. *Every part of him is as hard as steel and his pelvic sneeze would probably be like a actual bullet.*
*I'm asking the real questions.*

There is no question in your comment

Huggbees, I'm pretty sure that Superman Seinfeld commercial was a Mandella Effect, you see, Superman says "Look Jerry, what I'm saying isn't rocket science, you can't be seeing a 17 year old when your 38." Than Seinfeld says "Wait a minute! Superman! 17 38?"
🎶 I'M LIKE HEY WHATS UP HELLO
8:49 "It's a canon event, bro"
I loved that solid JJ plays as Superman this is the perfect candidate for this position!
That printing error was probably the old man mid shape shifting.
