Maybe next spooky season you can read the comic version of chilling adventures of Sabrina

4:33 No way they Spider-Man'd my boy And they tried to make him gay for Wiccan Ill never forget 😅 I get Daimon's made of sin but being gay is just a bit much We do not need Gaystrom 😂😂😂😂

Where's Deadpool

Oh hey you talked about the other absolute power. I loved this one.

I would love to bring back tyroc but with a lot of recons.

Word of advice. Don’t read its dark counterpart. It will…do things to you

So, there are a few mistakes that I didn't catch before (this is why double checking and not going off of memory is important): 1. The art for Strange Adventures was done by both Mitch Gerards and Evan 'Doc' Shaner, the latter of whom I forgot to mention. This is important as the two artists styles present different periods in Adam Strange's life - Gerards does the art for the present day, while Doc depicts the scenes taking place during the war between Rann and the Pykkts. 2. In Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, only Ruthye's dad is killed by Krem, the rest of her family including her mother and brothers are still around. I misremembered the scene of her alone on her farm at the end of the series as her entire family having died at the hands of Krem (oops!)

Interesting video! I wondered about this myself, I'm mostly familiar with Daimon from DeMatteis' Defenders run, and then having him just hang out with the bad guys in Avengers Undercover was very jarring. Although I gotta say, I can't blame him for killing Druid, that guy deserves pretty much everything that's coming his way :D

Hellstrom being turned evil for no reason is a pet peave of mine, me not caring about him before that doesn't matter. It's a matter of *principal*

Honestly it's not too bad of a proposal, but I don't know how much story he could get out of it. It seemed like Alex Ross just wanted his ideal universe to play in for a bit, which is fine, but is there really a market for that? I guess DC might have felt the same way. It's interesting but what's the point? What's the story? It's just interesting ideas. In modern times, I think they'd print it because... they'll print anything now, but back then they a bit more standards. Since then we've seen a few good (and better versions) of DC's future, but one more relevant to this would be Batman Beyond. It's basically the same idea, but don't more creatively. The reason that works and this doesn't is because that series wasn't a "what if". It was treated as a normal story. There was fan service for sure, but that's not all it was.

I actually like the goatee. They should have found a way to update his costume.

It’s not that the Dark Ages is the weakest storyline, it’s that it has the least of what most people love about Astro City. The Silver Age aesthetic, the hope that is woven into the series, the feeling that the stories are most bound to the age they were written in.

I kinda find it amusing how the Silver Agent's name is a reference to, well...the Silver Age. "Embrace tradition"?

I have yet to read any Astro-City, I’ve been meaning to, but I’ve had a lot of other things I’ve been reading and it’s really a matter of what’s been interesting me lately. Someday perhaps.

Art looks amazing.

Great review man… But not an upgrade from the movie… Either watch the movie or read the comics… This animation is not necessary.

Why? Because Alan Moore's masterpiece needs to continue and be exposed a new generation of people to this fabulous tale. The animation is amazing. The voice acting is not 'fine' its stellar and the adaption is amazingly faithful to the comics. I was very pleased with many of the choices here. The Black Freighter inclusion was amazing in the way the kept the original comic... inside the move. I'm sorry, but you sound like you're griping because that what you feel you should do. You're not being fair at all. Not impressed with your skills as a reviewer here.

I’ve always loved the very fan-fic-y vibe of this comic. It’s a simple story we’ve seen over and over, but dang it’s fun and the art really helps sell it.

i heard of this story it was interesting.

sequel next year

I was actually quite impressed with this. Hands down the best DC animated movie in years. The animation is great, i like the voice acting, and it proved to be better than the Zack Snyder movie because it wasnt too caught up in being ultra stylized and actually managed to be faithful to the comic while compressing it enough but not so much to where it feels rushed, AND ITS SIMULTANEOUSLY INCLUDING THE BLACK FREIGHTER??? All in less than 90 minutes. All something I did not know was possible. Very excited for part 2. As for the “why” u gotta understand not everybody reads comics and thats okay its not a form for everyone (reading ITSELF isnt for everyone) so this definitely a good way of exposing non comic readers to the Watchmen story (and a FAITHFUL one at that cuz as much as i like The Snyder movie it works entirely as a movie and not an as much for an adaptation)

Lets be honest, not everyone is gonna read watchmen and if this is a medium for people to be exposed to it im good

looks exactly like snyder flim but wack animation

For me, this was necessary. Let's be honest, superheroes today are suffering from saturation, so it was necessary for Watchmen to return to give us a light breath of fresh air and remind us why this story is and it is still is one of the best graphic novels that have been written and put on paper, the graphic novel that deconstructed the superhero genre. I already wanted to see an actual good superhero movie and not watch trash filler movies again (MCU & DCU).

I just watched it last night I like it but it’s nothing amazing They should’ve made it all one movie Sometimes being faithful to something isn’t enough, you have to do more That would require more open minded artistry and add more action etc. Maybe chapter 2 will be better, maybe not but I couldn’t help but think of the Snyder film.

you need a skilled video editor like me!

great review man

Stacy X? Love her. Heard about her as one of those “top 10 characters you didn’t know were on the Xmen” deals. Then the Cerebro podcast dedicated episode 69 to her. I do agree on the sentiment that, whilst attitudes towards her profession were not great when she debuted, the comics, unless certain writers were on them, were rather progressive with her. When they eventually had Chuck Austin on for episode 99 on Nurse Annie, he admitted that getting rid of her was an editorial decision because she was an overtly sexual character as opposed to the rest of the Xmen soap opera that is most internally sexual. And yeah, he found it stupid that Sinister could be depicted as the Josef Mengele of Marvel but we couldn’t have Stacy. I do like that her name is basically a rearranged of Ecstasy. One of my favourite stories was when she was called to help the CEO of some chef boyardi knockoff because his mutant powers are killing him and he’s immune to painkillers so she puts him in a medically induced coma so he spends the last month of his life in bliss. And then the rest of the team commend her for helping out a fellow mutant in need. Sweet stuff.

Its like that book the hobbit. Short book which they did add a whole lot of filler for 3 movies. I suspect we will see a lot of added things here even if it's one movie.

Got a feeling Mignola stole "The Crooked Man" from a book called "The Book of Lost Things".

This movie and trilogy was so disappointing and a waste of time and makes no sense as a trilogy or as a good adaptation of crisis on infinite earths at least in my opinion.

I REMEMBER NOW!! I read this one 3 years ago and you just reminded me of it!

Had no idea about this story's existence. Great to see a spotlight shone on such a bizarre piece of World's Finest history.

Ironic that Bale said Dark Victory is his favourite Batman tale considering he didn’t want Robin in the trilogy

happy father's day man

I loved it and is my favorite Black Panther run.

5:58 Matt is... the Devil of Hell's Kitchen!

In universe, it'll never make sense why the villains aren't killed or keep escaping prison. That's because the reality is that some are too popular to kill off permanently and that writers imo aren't to keen on constantly having to make new villains to keep the franchise running

My fell is like this for most heroes and it works for them. Some should not have this code and the only reason they do it the outer universe reason. I also like how some like Batman have it becouse if they pass the line they would become just what they are stopping and they know it. Here is one for your though why are the Jury's not going for the Death Pentily on them. Yes Batman stopped him and left him for the copy but then there is a court case for it. Dr Doom get around this as he has Immunity but most do not.

Honestly it does not matter because no matter who dies in comics they come back to life anyway.

It's very simple actually. Avoiding killing when feasible is good but a code of "never killing ever" is delusional. Imagine Darkseid has a Kryptonite bomb that will tear the Earth in half at the touch of a button giving Superman the choice of either killing Darkseid at superspeed or doing nothing and he just waits thinking "I have faith a third option will present itself... aaany second now." It's a juvenile power fantasy that the universe is so nice and the hero is so capable that there is basically no danger, a nice third option will either come to the hero or when he chooses to do nothing it will turn out they ultimately made the right call (e.g. the villain was bluffing or decides it would be unsporting to do the evil deed since the the hero technically spared their life).

Why is Gotham City not killing the joker?

Take them where?

feel like if this was real life it should be the governments responsibility to decide. I think it is okay to unalive a villain depending on who obviously. like if we’re talking idk shocker or captain cold then no. but if we’re talking about Doomsday or Joker or even someone like Carnage then yes totally okay. I think most people would agree on me. I think it’s messed up joker is constantly killing innocent people and blowing up hospitals just to break out and have a good time doing it again.

The wisest person I've ever met - an anarchist with dirty hands and a well cared for community - once told me: "sometimes, you just gotta throw a person off a cliff"

such a refreshing take. one that i felt for the longest time. the more you stretch what the villain can get away with, the worse it makes the saying "if you kill a killer there are the same ammount of killers" worse. espetially with villains who know the hero wont do anything about it. it makes the heroes feel less like a moral-paragont and more like a substitute teacher with no backbone.

Good take, if these stories was just linear tales instead of a continuous continuity, we will get more stories like Arkham trilogy. Spider man trilogy, and the dc animated universe. A conclusive end. And I wonder why people got mad about marvel icing mj in a Spider-Man storyline like it’s not going to be resolved back to the status quo a few issues later.

what i personally hate about heroes not killing villians (and by extenction the entirety of DC) is that it makes you responible for people dying by proxy if said villain escapes prision more than once

Basically short version is not very hero is the punisher who actually does kill his villains.
