This really helped me realize how terrible movies can be made with such great teams of professional writers, actors and set designers. It’s because quite often a team of 400 people have to cater to the delusions of one or two producers that have absolutely no clue what a good movie looks like. Hollywood is so messed up

@@BareBandSubscription also, he is a director. and he is famous one. And regardless of whatever you say of his recent movies, he is one of the rare ones who has "made it" in Hollywood-has a podcast, is a producer, a comic book writer etc. etc. So, what i meant to say is - he has lifted projects from just being story ideas - to the level of execution into a succesful movie/comic book series- which means, he has presented stories to producers and financers in the best way possible, to get the financing of the movie. SO, of course he is a great story teller! Anyone can come up with ideas, not many ideas come to fruition, coz they get axed by financers, coz they didnt present it the way the producer could understand, which could give them the $$. You have to SELL a story, a project, an idea - to get it into motion. Kevin smith may have told this story many times to his friends, at parties, and also to other producers. But I know for a fact - that any movie director who is working today in show business, and has a long career - be it spielberg, Nolan, Tarantino , del Toro, or anyone - they definitely know how to tell stories, whether be it with a camera held, or just speaking to someone. And they tell it in a great way-maybe funny, maybe sad, maybe grandiose. But they are great storytellers-coz these succesful auteurs know how to do, what is called in the corporate world - a presentation. maybe on a MSslideshow, or maybe with pictures by hand. Here you can see kevin selling the story in a way only he could, and we the audience are loving it.

If you watch the Death of Superman Lives documentary, you might see it in a different perspective. Jon Peters is still a nut-job, but Tim Burton's ideas about the character and the look were actually really interesting. Superman Lives would have been a big, crazy, action-packed sci-fi version of Superman, with a visionary director and a fascinating actor. I don't know about you, but I'd take that any day over the safe-as-bubblewrap Superman movies we have gotten since.

And this is exactly why the two decade long production process for The Flash movie has been such an incredible nightmare. 7+ directors were either fired, quit, or left to work on other productions because of "creative differences" When one or two sets of writers and directors leave for creative differences its not a big deal, but when over 7 of them in a row leave, it's the studio, not the director.

one of the funniest parts of this story to me is that Jon Peters kept bringing up animals and asking if Kevin knew about them, but Peters himself didnt know some pretty basic facts about the animals he was bringing up. polar bears are found in the arctic, so writing them into a scene taking place in Antarctica wouldnt make any sense, and spiders are not the "fiercest killers in the insect kingdom", as spiders are not even insects.

If Superman's Fortress of Solitude is in the Antarctic, then it doesn't make sense for there to be any polar bears there, since their native range is mainly limited to the North Pole. You'd have to rewrite the scene so that Brainiac is razzling penguins or something. But that could still work, because, as everybody knows, penguins are the fiercest killers in the bird kingdom.

CazzSDMF You are right, on the surface. But after having watched Death of Superman Lives, I actually kinda see his side of it. The guy is obviously out of touch with the world as it is, but his points were in the right place: *He wanted a Superman that was unlike how we had seen him before, so as to separate him from the previous film adaptations (thing Adam West to Keaton Batman) *He wanted to get away from the unarguably hokey flight scenes of Superman gliding against a green screen, so we needed something that looked more powerful. Granted, these are taken literally in this story, but I see the need for a variation. *And the Giant Spider would look cool. Superman always fights a similarly overpowered villain. It took literally a monster to finally kill him. So I see the desire to have him face something that we, visually, have never seen him faced before. Yes the 'World Engine' from Man of Steel was "The Giant Spider" in context, but, it was still a cool hurdle for Superman to face. His line "..from the streets" while ridiculous, is likely supposed to actually mean a more hardened variation of Superman, who fights and moves like a normal human would, as opposed to, again, the previous incarnations that always seemed to look hokey in battles (the awkward Superman kicks and magical 'S' bag thing) That's why Man of Steel fought hard to earn the viewers respect with such intense battle sequences. Again, Peters is ridiculous, but he fought for things that were necessary, and he was pushing for some impressively forward-thinking elements, like a potentially homosexual representation in a major superhero blockbuster, in 1997. That is surprisingly open-minded. After taking this into account, I kinda wanted this movie to happen.

He wants to be about positivity at this stage of his life. I can’t be mad. People are way too generous with destructive criticism and negativity in this world, especially on the Internet, where people are able to talk vast amounts of shit under a cloak of anonymity. And frankly, a lot of that is what led to Will Smith slapping Chris Rock in front of the entire world. Complimenting something or someone rarely has negative effects. But dissing someone or something that someone holds dear can literally lead to loss of life. Just saying. Sorry to go into a sermon.

There was a bit of an update to this one. Apparently John Peters had a script done for a movie adaption of Neil Gaimans Sandman that had, you guessed it, a giant fucking mechanical spider. Gaimann thought it was the worst script he had ever read and very agressively moved to get it canned lol

This is one of the greatest bits of storytelling/picture-painting I've ever heard. I watch this about 2-3 times a year, just for the pure enjoyment of it. If I'm ever feeling a bit down or rough, this picks me up immediately. It's just so funny, detailed, flows, etc. I'm not a writer so I don't know all the reasons, I just know that this is my one go-to/return KZbin clip, and if it ever goes away, I'm screwed. Jon Peters sounds like a knob-and-a-half, and is probably responsible for so many big "summer tentpole" movies being such mindless, formulaic horseshit.
