    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

    • @Uptomyknees
      @Uptomyknees  4 года назад +29

      @@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!

    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?

    • @Uptomyknees
