don't worry the Kryptonian Epic is like a big animated whole cool thing with all sorts of bells and whistles. This one's just for me and the people who want to hear it. That sativa and caffeine had me on a different level
@@fabianovich4678 Yes. I thought Justice Society represented the philosophical goals Clark came to represent. Whereas in SUPERMAN: FOR ALL MANKIND, when we meet Luthor's "Justice League," they feel much more like a team of professionals rather than Clark's group. which is a confederated group of like-minded people who are friends.
You didn't come off as nuts; your enthusiasm is infectious. I love what you're doing with these characters. You're telling a unique superhero story that doesn't simply reboot or rehash, but rather incorporates stories that we nerds already know and love, without sacrificing the integrity of what makes them special. Every upload or livestream you put out is incredibly inspiring and motivating, at least for me. So... time to get back to creating!
Max, for a person that is so financially secure from all the endeavours you're doing, it's incredible how Sincere and open you are to your dedicated fans. Your mind is a national treasure. Always looking forward to hear more of your ideas. From evil Russia with love.
Oh my god so I'm sitting here high watching Kryptonian Epic videos, as I often find myself doing, except this time I'm actually re-reading American Alien again simultaneously. And my mind was just blown. I always thought Clark giving Ollie the finger guns was a fun, but still strange thing for Superman to do. Then I notice Clark gives Lana the finger guns in issue 2 as he's leaving the diner. Love it.
Dude I love these! Your enthusiasm is infectious and I get jacked up too lol. And we can visualize it all! Incredible ideas, love your takes on these classic characters
Wow using bane for a death in the family is a really cool idea. Also bro I wouldn't fight being crazy. That's just how you be and it's why we like you.
Im not a massive fan of super hero stuff but I would gladly listen to these pitches any video. Just listening to them is really exciting and fun, and it would be amazing to watch.
So, Max. I've been a lurker of yours for a few years now. Wrestling isn't Wrestling, The Death and Return of Superman. I'm loving these videos. Liked. Favorited. Decided to watch the entire #kryptonianepic tonight. It's 1:30am and I'm only here at toyman. See you in the comments of the next one.
Awesome feel-good and inspirational take on the JSA and their inter-personal dynamic. I also love the fact that Riddler is essentially the team’s oracle but with an inflated ego complex. Also since you’re not summarising Deathwish, who are the primary antagonists, like does it involve Azrael?
Super Hyper in the best possible way. Crazy like a fox wearing a Captain's Hat. Nuts and bolts are needed to make and create and this is some Class A creativity.
@Scrub Chronicles well it's not that weird, Max is a wrestling fan and talked positively about AEW in more than one occasion, and automatically at least a portion of his fanbase must share this passion, AEW is even more popular than WWE these days and Orange Cassidy happens to be one of the most recognized wrestlers in the roster, so here we are
Hi Max. With Endangered Species out, I am re-watching the Epic in order for the n-th time. This is my favourite thing to listen to after a couple of bong hits. I had a query. Could you please describe one conclusive situation which Eddy devised to show Clark and Supes were at different places at the same time?
As much as I'll eat all of this shit up in whatever format you put it in cuz I love it, I have no idea how you're somehow going to summarize all of the bells and whistles you want in this series into a "short film" lol also why no summary for Deathwish? It's important to the story no?
It just seems like a lot of time and effort to say "EVERYTHING GOES VERY BAD FOR BATMAN - JASON TODD DIES AND HIS BACK GETS BROKEN - THEN HIS REPLACEMENT IS CRAZY BUT TED KORD GETS HIM - ALSO LOL IT TURNS OUT HE'S BANE BRUCE IS BANE THEY'RE THE SAME PERSON FUCKING FUCK YOU I JUST DID IT TO EM IT'S FIGHT CLUB OFF IN THIS BITCH HE'S TOTALLY FUCKING CRAZY HOLY SHIT BUT HE DID IT ALL TO STOP VANDAL SAVAGE FROM ENDING THE WORLD AT THE FORTRESS OF SOLITUDE - AW MAN WHAT A TRAGIC FIGUREEE"
Is "Superman: Do it yourself" something that exists already? You've referenced it in a couple vids like it's a thing, but I haven't been able to find it. Is it just the name for a particular story in your mind?
he’s not gonna make a pitch video for now and will only get to it when the final movie comes out. although he has shown a little bit of it in the video explaining how Superman killed Deashot
Wish there was a way for this to come out in comic form. Even if it was like an ash can version you could pick up at a comic con with a donation so that you could get away with getting it out there. Do you have any comic artist friends who would illustrate it for you? Come on Max, comics needs you! Haha
@@Uptomyknees why? do you just think you have nothing to tell about him or you just want Vic to have a normal life? lack of ideas or creative choice, I mean
Is Toyman, as well as Deathwish, going to be in the Kryptonian Epic? Didn't fully understand if this was a sneak peek or supplemental content. Great pitch as usual. Hyped!
Would this be awesome as a comic? Hell yeah. Would this be awesome as an animated series or as a movie? Also hell yeah. But straight up, I'm loving the oral tradition of this story. Homer would be proud!
Re-watching all of these (cause they are that good max) and i spotted a quote from the chats at the end "winners dont use drugs" bill hicks would be screaming in his grave, "burn your music!".. ever seen the interview of elon musk drinking whisky and smoking a joint? oh... then there's charlie sheen.. but thats a different "winning"
Max, would Bill Hader be a good actor to play your Clark? Too old? Not the right look? I don't know, I can just picture him as your version of the character so well!
I really like this take on Superman,Blue Beetle,Zatanna and Green Arrow? Does Black Canary or Hal Jordan exist in this universe?(I assume You’re setting up Peter Ross to be GL, but does Hal exist or is Peter a Kind of combination between Peter Ross, Hal Jordan and technically Steve Trevor in a way)
@@Uptomyknees Alright, surprise me...but can I at least ask: Are Toyman and Deathwish and the other "ephemera" part of the big animated thing or is it just going to be the five Superman-centric arcs? Also, Abin and Tomar were in AA but you haven't mentioned Green Lanterns at all outside of that so do they have a role in the Society or League or I'm guessing book 5 is the part with space stuff?
Sure you do a lot of subversions on what people might expect to get from these stories, but the subversions are good, they don’t feel like GoT subversions, that is, there is clearly thought out into them.
Max, I’d love to talk to you of a comic book universe that I’ve been working on. If you’d be fine with it, that would be majorly amazing. Love your stuff, boss!
I like these. Although I am sensing a somewhat Tyrannical edge with this superman. Killing to protect his ID (which he bad at keeping), invading countries, threatening to kill. Not that I don't like it. Pretty cool. Hell I am anti Death penalty but even I would kill the Joker at this point. But make me Wonder how this Superman Journey would end. If this dude going to go all Justice Lord. Or how this Superman would react to a president Luthor, black adam being a dictator of a foreign, country, a diplomat immunity Joker, or that anti superhero law type like in watchmen and Dark knight Returns.
@@Uptomyknees Holy crap, Max Landis is talking to me!!! Big fan, first time caller. Yeah, I thought it would be a cool graphic to have a robot stomp across Kansas, because Kent Farm, but I guess not, eh?
Im curious where the droid army thats attacking Honolulu is coming from. Does Toyman have automated factory ships parked just outside of US territorial waters, or like in Phantom Menance do flying dropships just descend on the city and unload rack upon rsck of battle droids?
don't worry the Kryptonian Epic is like a big animated whole cool thing with all sorts of bells and whistles. This one's just for me and the people who want to hear it. That sativa and caffeine had me on a different level
just don't push popsicle sticks through clay.......Jesus....whatever, your shit is ASSCRAP.
Any particular reason you chose call them the Justice Society instead of Justice League? Just wondering

Not sure which is a better combo, Captain's hat & sweatpants or sativa & caffeine. Perhaps a combo of both combos...
Ready to hear it
Like that Riddler can be changed by just giving him compliments every now and then. That actually fits the character.
He wants people to know how smart he is. Superman telling him he's really smart is probably the best way to calm him down
I would literally pay for full pitches for the entire saga.
Absolutely exceptional.
Same
It's coming, for free.
@@Uptomyknees THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
If there was a weekly podcast of you just pitching a singular story that can’t/won’t get made, that shit would be fire.
That is the basis of the Podcast “Story Break”
Give this man a bigger platform, more people need to see this! Love your work max, never stop!

@@Uptomyknees Aye, captain.
God, I love these! It gives me life to listen to you tell stories with your passion!
When I look at what DC is actually putting out and compare it to Max's pitches, I can't describe DC's conduct as anything but criminal.
I watch no less than 3 of these videos a week. I literally can't get enough.
These pitches and videos make my day. Thank you for making them. So awesome.
Ok but who else desperately wants to hear the summary for Batman: Deathwish
I'll post a short one to my community tab
Oh my god so I'm sitting here high watching Kryptonian Epic videos, as I often find myself doing, except this time I'm actually re-reading American Alien again simultaneously. And my mind was just blown. I always thought Clark giving Ollie the finger guns was a fun, but still strange thing for Superman to do.

"If you've watched this far,,,,. You're already watching" I certainly am my Dude, I certainly am. Love it! As Always.
That was an amazing story Max, your pitches are always so damn impressive.
I’m surprised it took me a while to bump into this one, these were awesome !
I love how excited you get about your stories! It's totally fair, they're really good stories!

It's a Batman/Joker/Bane/Alfred/Bruce Wayne story. There's a heavy Azrael and Vandal Savage element.
also thank you! Toyman is all about feeling good, I wanted to do a fun superhero story
I love the way Max handles Superman!
The memes of Clark and Lois existing in this universe was clever and accurately realistic touch. Great pitch!👍
I swear. I live for these videos.
Clark dreaming about plants… uh oh.
Phenomenal. You didn’t come off nuts.
That's the most elaborate Uptime commercial in ages!
Super Hyper in the best possible way.
Crazy like a fox wearing a Captain's Hat.
Nuts and bolts are needed to make and create and this is some Class A creativity.
Max is such a gripping story teller , even despite the mess ups . When he has you listening , you zone in!
Who is downvoting Max’s videos? Fans? I don’t think so. Why are you even clicking on the video, dude?
This is weird how did this not show up in my feed ???
This was awesome!
Hot damn, that was excellent. Everyone not hiring you for their projects is leaving money on the table.
That was great!
For the love of God, please do batman: death wish. Your skills for this are amazing.
Your end of fanfiction makes me sad, because we’ll never get gold like this again
aint that the truth
I love you so much, Max. Glad you exist. Keep doing that👍
But Superman doesn't do that!
(Little did we know, that by "that" he meant doing an impression of Orange Cassidy)
@Scrub Chronicles well it's not that weird, Max is a wrestling fan and talked positively about AEW in more than one occasion, and automatically at least a portion of his fanbase must share this passion, AEW is even more popular than WWE these days and Orange Cassidy happens to be one of the most recognized wrestlers in the roster, so here we are
Superman: "I'm not dumb-fast in this continuity, I won't make it in time."
Literally Entire JSA: [Totally makes it in time.]
dude i like the twist....!! supes last dialogue with clark is great.... and then the twist on batman...damn..brilliant!!
im so excited to hear this I didn't even capitalize the first word of this sentence.
When is the animations out I’m more excited for them then the Snyder cyt
I would LOVE to hear Batman death wish summarized! That sounds fantastic!
28:59 "Did I come off crazy or did sell the story?" _BOTH._
“freestyling” superhero stories should be a genre of performance
Commenting for the algorithm. (Also I love these)
It's late. Don't matter. I'm drunk and half-stoned. DON'T MATTER. Let's git small with tha big toy idears!
The ending is so much better when you know Bain is (Spoiler for Death Of Batman)
DAMN, THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME!!! YOURE A LEGEND!!!! PLEASE NEVER STOP!!!
Green Arrow: Actually Clark, I want to tell you more about capitalism.
Superman: Not now, Ollie.
I need this as an actual comic panel SO BAD.
"little shop of horrors" nice forshadowing there.
Hi Max. With Endangered Species out, I am re-watching the Epic in order for the n-th time. This is my favourite thing to listen to after a couple of bong hits. I had a query.
