Kite Man - DC’s Most Tragic Villain

[@lunaitor-uq9hz]

The fact that they made "hell yeah" an actually emotionally tragic line with his backstory amazes me

[@Bc12310]

“Hell yeah” literally the best catchphrase of all time

[@muak_kuak]

Hell yeah it is

[@segaman4275]

KITE-MAN HELL YEAH

[@bacht4799]

Yeah .. I mean Beck made a song with that title .. so thats not wrong .. Hell Yeah…

[@heinzstalin7422]

HELL YEAH, KITE MAN

[@beanburritobricks]

Kite man, Hell yeah

[@MrG_-pn9fv]

Ballon Woman, Hell No

[@Firemaster27]

Paper airplane child, Hell maybe

[@TheSilverTRex]

Cheap parachute toy, HELL NO

[@Iamthedr]

Joseph Stalin,Hell gulag

[@sourlab]

Kite man he'll yeah

[@dylanconnelly9845]

Kite Man winning the war is amazing and not a single villain is gonna be able to live that down especially Riddler

[@justsomedude2065]

I really love when series’s that have run for so long add depth to some obscure, one note, complete joke of a character. They honestly always end up becoming one of the better characters in my opinion, because it takes an exceptionally good writer to do so.

[@malcolmtheivth8454]

The bagel effect

[@TheLakabanzaichrg]

Bagel effect?

[@plshelpmeawkdough]

​@@TheLakabanzaichrgThe Bagel Effect is a scene from the first Spider-Verse movie Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse in which Miles Morales throws a bagel at a scientist in the Kingpin's facility who, in the June 2023 sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, becomes the villain The Spot. The bagel hitting the scientist was likened to "The Bagel Effect" in reference to "The Butterfly Effect," as in, fans of the franchise humorously likened the throwing of the bagel to the multiverse's later demise.

[@hot_soup4319]

They took Kite-man, fucking *Kite-man* and gave him a heartwrenching backstory and arc that just makes you feel for the guy, and genuinely end up liking him afterwards. This is why Batman has the best villains.

[@frofrozzty]

One thing that DC absolutely triumphs at is taking a 50+ year old character and developing them into something genuinely thought provoking and artful. Kite Man and Animal Man are prime examples.

[@CymaticMandala]

Bro... Animal Man is THAT DUDE.

[@ClashPanda-tc1ct]

Nvm lol

[@Atomsk0192]

Hell, look at what Paul Dini did for Mr Freeze

[@DhantExMachina]

and polkadot man

[@jamesreagon6800]

And Thomas Blake aka Catman.

[@herusolares5320]

I love how they portrayed Kite Man in the Harley Quinn series. From an abrasive "nice guy" to a more rounded, friendly character and thoughtful partner.

[@DamianQualshy]

Mf got from a running gag to a person who saved Batman's life so effortlessly. What a CHAD

[@FatalKitsune]

Kite Man. Hell yeah. -Michael Scott -Kite Man

[@RacingEuphoria]

The first thought I had seeing this thumbnail was "Heck yeah, KITE MAN!". I actually used to have that Kite Man Lego minifigure too lol.

[@Motherbound]

the backstory behind “hell yeah” just makes it so much cooler

[@zelky1394]

Hell yeah

[@glob-zt5ci]

kite man being able to make killer croc fly is a marvel of engineering he should have become an aerospace engineer specializing in aerodynamics and then his life would have turned out way better

[@MysticOwlz]

What's a kite but a small paraglider... make one big enough with strong supports. Voila.

[@laraschroeder5195]

Kite Man: “How much do you weigh?” Killer Croc: “More than your kites can carry.” Kite Man: “Aight, bet.”

[@axiscrevite]

I didn't know Kite-Man had this roller-coaster of a story 😮. It's encouraging that he made it through the insanity that was plaguing him.

[@nizmei8052]

Man, I’ve been drinking the whole night and you’ve killed me with this weirdly effected first minute. I literally can feel my stomach crying now. Good job!

[@kristianreign9110]

Damn, did not expect a story like that to come out of a character like that...

[@just_an_internet_explorer8038]

Ikr? Was actually happy that he got redeemed

[@bagool2040]

hell yeah

[@rileypugh6412]

Man they should make a Kite Man comic run where he’s an anti-hero that would be badass

[@brandonmaddox4862]

The only one of your videos that genuinely made me cry, it was beautiful

[@xxzeroxx8417]

Man, these videos are a huge relief after soul crushing day at work. Feels like there are things I'm still interested in. Thanks for that man. Thanks a ton.

[@hippittyhopp2379]

I fucking hate how they made riddler handsome and buff, he’s a fucking redditor and active 4 Chan user not a sigma male influencer.

[@user-sx4qu4dz9z]

“Does it mean… Am I going to that other place now?” “Hell yeah.”

[@Thag0n]

Kite Man, Hell yeah.

[@FearsomeVoid]

He wasn't tragic as a villain but as a hero.

[@superstreamsilly]

He's also the only one who can use the anti life equation without killing everyone

[@RedragonReviews]

Woah how do you know

[@ToonyTails]

@@RedragonReviewsThe Kite Man TV show, spin off of the Harley Quinn show

[@Gadlight]

this proves something that sometimes is forgotten in batman comics, since they usually enphasize the good corrupted into doing bad things, batman's way of no-killing is what made kite man had a 2nd chance

[@illdecidelater723]

Duuuuude a kite man video? Hell yeah

[@khalifax10]

Awesome video dude ! and I do admire the research that you put into gathering info about Kite Man, keep up the good work ^^ I just waned to to know or if you would be interested in shading some light on some of DC's forgotten villains like Monarch, Lord Havok and the recent addition to the main DCU Red X ~

[@ulyssesveracruz8343]

Kiteman Hell yeah ~Kiteman

[@heavymusicguy8227]

Kite Man. Hell Yeah.

[@smorphous8928]

Kiteman should be an honorary member of the bat family, I mean he managed to take down joker, and riddler.

[@Nexus_editz08]

Are you just trolling me now bro 💀 I just saw the shoutout lol thanks brother

[@dialdude3770]

I just love that line: “You took my boy. So I took your war.”

[@defknightsoul]

Support the new Max spin off, at least rate on IMDb, hell yeah ! 😊

[@nunyabizness3866]

I’m so glad they gave Kite man his own series and a new love interest after cucking him away from poison ivy.

[@harsyakiarraathallah2222]

Kite Man and Killer Moth are Two of my Favorite Villain we Need to give more Love!

[@illdecidelater723]

HES GETTING HIS OWN SHOW NOW

[@unholycalm9122]

Kite men should've been given more recognition. Awesome video!

[@Tabsau]

Fucking chad. Kite man, hell yeah.

[@adolfoorozco3650]

I woke up this mornin got some gabagool

[@Twizzy100]

I genuinely look forward to your vids daily, you da goat ngl

[@patrickmcneil5089]

Kite-man hell yeah

[@SenTHR811]

I'm not really much of a marvel/dc or comics guy but these stories are making me think I'm missing out on the good stuff

[@DanielDeLeon69]

Kite man used to be a loser Villain but now he's redeemed himself and is now a part of Batman's Rogues Gallery!

[@phnx2607]

If you get past the 30second horror film intro, it's a great video

[@nathanoyinloye7123]

Kiteman getting hos own show. Hell yeah

[@ajra6143]

People with Kite Man before Rebirth and the Harley Quinn show: Tch, another one of Batman’s loser villains. Were they not allowed to use the Condiment King? People with Kite Man after Rebirth and the Harley Quinn show: Kite Man! Hell Yeah!

[@clyax113]

I read the comic, and I didn't realize the implications of Kite Man's story in it. Thank you for sharing.

[@Stackamillie]

This was worth the wait. Kite man, Hell yeah!

[@seanjenkins2188]

Who else is back here after the show?

[@PixelatedTriumph]

Kite Man is kind of like Mumen Rider, just a man doing his best

[@nunyabizness6711]

7:30 have you ever heard of a firearm my dude?

[@govangoes]

Bro is the realest he said kite man just fn dipped on em like boul you have me rolling

[@teleportedbreadfor3days]

Kiteman thought saying ‘Hell yeah’ will send you to Hell when you die. Now he’ll say it in the face of Hell as he’s willing to take on all Hell that stands before him in honor of his son.

[@PaulWiley-vr9mt]

My only remembrance fo Kite-Man was a Batman: The Brave and the Bold Episode with Plastic Man

[@brobrofog]

You should do a video about The Ventriloquist, he's a very interesting character with a disturbing backstory

[@princeshadow13]

I guess since the sports themed villain position was taken, the kite thing was the only thing Charlie Brown could go

[@icecream3281]

When i read DC's saddest villain first thing that comes to mind is freeze

[@RabbitHole20]

No parents should ever bury their child.

[@see.you.space.cowboy03]

Kite Man, hell yeah!

[@DrBagPhD]

Kite man, hell yeah. IHE represent!

[@ChartreuseDan]

Ive not come across any strong feelings of my own for kiteman, but I am now sure I hate buff riddler

[@Creeder03]

Kite man isn't always treated the worst in the Harley Quinn series he gets poison ivy

[@kalebstuart3083]

*me at work crying* KITE MAN HELL YEAH

[@dacedebeer2697]

My only contact with him was the Harley Quinn series. Dude doesn't catch a break.

[@cbatomakeahandle]

Damn Charlie in the thick of it

[@cheesesticks0]

Hell yeah kite man

[@bosco1887]

You don't laugh at Kiteman. You laugh with Kiteman Hell Yeah.

[@E--Drop]

_Nine cats are on a boat._ _One jumps in a river._ _How many are left?_ *None. They're **_copycats._* ...I love how random the joker is 😹

[@MikeyTheCartoon]

Oh Kiteman, the only really good thing to come from Tom Kings run of Batman.

[@GemzOSC]

Finally kite man baby hell YEAH

[@takeshikujo2909]

Who do you think is worse? Joker or Riddler? Because even though the Joker has done some very messed up things, I don’t think he’s ever killed someone’s child, excluding any of the Robins. He seems more of the mentally torture then killing the parent in front of the child kind of guy. Riddler didn’t even have a second thought about killing a child. That’s really cold-blooded.

[@ytuser4043]

Kite man, hell yeah!

[@finnhill1558]

truly DC's mumen rider

[@ChristopherAgent494]

Kite man Hell yeah

[@bengrantham9812]

1:00 we just not gonna talk about that?

[@Iamthedr]

Smash ,Hell yeah

[@itsmytoast666]

This is radical. I want to read Kite Man stories... Is there a collected edition? Or is it just hunting down all the collected editions of stories including him?

[@Someone1someone]

Flies in,solos most of the villains gets beaten the shit out off

[@defknightsoul]

Nice 2:50 which version is this ? Mandala effect or did the reissue dragon 🐉 have more detail and color?

[@thatoneotherguy3299]

If you could I’d love to see a full cover of city of Bane

[@Bixen_Bings]

Maybe, kite man was never a villian, he just *was, until he decided he wanted* to change, change for the better, hell yea.

[@ericmiller93]

Tom King again shows he’s the master.

[@chuyistheshiz6811]

Damn dude this video is made really well. Kudos.

[@TevyaSmolka]

Kite man hell yeah

[@jasoncoward-aintscared]

I wonder if, "How much do you weigh?" Was a reference to Batman 89?

[@gilbertotabares8196]

Did Kite-Man actually say "good grief"?

[@alessandroditerlizzi569]

every villan video is title "name villain - most tragic villain backstory"

[@JenniferPoole.33272]

I feel bad for Kite Man since he lost his son, who was just a tween kid. (Also feel bad for the boy) All cause of Riddler, who killed him.

[@yisraelaufrichtig6742]

Kinda reminds me a bit of Polka Dot man...I love stories like these...

[@ulyssesveracruz8343]

Yo mullet man i have a question whats youre opinion on kiteman getting his own spinoff show ?

[@JonahPedersen-tz3uk]

I remember that cartoon, grew up in pdx

[@lobstershaft2294]

I love the YTP you put at the beginning. Did you make it?

[@mrtanglo5563]

This Kite man story hits me in the heart. I hope that i will see my son someday

[@TheRadWarrior]

Why is there no kite man movie?!?!!

[@Fat_Boy_500]

I mean we’re getting a show

[@frogchanp]

This story was bitter sweet

[@Hixoltage]

If he does get redeemed He has the makings for a Green Lantern We'll seem intense

[@theshowershow]

Shout out to the end credits, such works of art shouldn't be unnoticed!

[@ZhyBeth]

Good grief, kite man!

[@majormalfunction1313]

so what i'm getting is kite man is like western antihero mumen rider. hell yeah

[@BarbaraGordonTheBatgirl]

Ever since i watched the Harley Quinn show ive loved kiteman, wish hed get more comic appearances
