[@michaelrobertson4896]

This version of Vandal Savage was actually a pretty chill dude. It’s too bad he couldn’t talk some sense into his younger self to get him to see that his lust for power and conquest was ultimately meaningless in the long run because ultimately even if the did succeed in conquering the world eventually the human race would die off as is the way of things and he’ll literally be the last one of his kind and end up all alone with no one to talk to or anything. This version of Vandal Savage learned this the hard way when he destroyed the world basically just speeding up what was inevitable for him. I almost wonder if he didn’t send some message back with Superman to give to his younger self to change his course in life and hopefully get him to be better than a “power mad despot”.

[@mesiagamer5217]

Honestly the only thing that could help him was just this. His conquests are ultimately distractions to what he knows will inevitably come.

[@MrBda241]

Vandal knew for a fact it wouldn't have worked. It's a lesson he needed to learn first hand. He's smart enough to know the multiple outcomes it would lead if he did try to leave a message, he'd probably just either make it worse or try again with improvements. The fact he didn't bother with a message shows he really did learn his lesson.

[@wilder11]

Guys...Vandal Savage is OP right? This isn't a critique, I'm having a thought. So being basically immortal is enough to make someone OP, especially if they somehow don't go completely insane from it. So Vandal Savage IS going to win. Someday. He simply needs to keep rolling the dice. Buuuut...what if he NEVER wins, because HE keeps sabotaging himself from other timelines? Like, EVERY timeline where Vandal Savage wins, he ends up regretting it, and eventually finds a way to influence the "main" timeline to keep him from winning. Like, the only reason Vandal Savage never wins the day is because HE keeps coming in from timelines where he did win to STOP himself, like he does in this episode. XD Vandal Savage is the ultimate villain...and the ultimate hero. XD

[@misterb3577]

That's a fascinating thought. Especially considering the fact that one way that Savage has been shown to truly die is when his entire timeline is erased, essentially wiping that version of him from ever existing. So I can imagine an endless number of Vandal Savages who ultimately win, live for unfathomable amounts of time in misery and loneliness, and then finally finding peace by preventing their future from happening in the first place.

[@OptimusWombat]

So basically Kang vs. Immortus.

[@adamnevraumont4027]

Immortality doesn't mean undefeated. Drop him on a neutron star. No materials to work with, too much gravity to move. He's pinned until proton decay kicks in and reduces the neutron star enough.

Phil Morris. Also voiced General Dru-Zod in Young Justice, which I found to much more fitting role for him the Savage, but then again the late great Miguel Ferrer's take and foundation for Vandal Savage with this incarnation's brutal view of the world was inline with his hyper intelligent immortal caveman backstory of shaping human history to form them as the dominant species in universe is a damn near impossible task to live up to.

Yes, Zack Snyder, prior to doing the mainstream DC character, should have been required to watch this series and be told, "This is the artistic standard we expect for our franchise!"

[@right_hand_power7960]

Part of what made the DCAU so good, is that for the most part, the writers didn't talk down to their audience, and that because of censorship, the writers were forced to get creative on how certain things happen, and play out. These writers also made B:TAS memorable by exactly these reasons. This isn't to say showing conflict has no place. Sometimes, conflict needs to be shown to get across the point. It's just that, because the DCAU shows were intended for children, the writers couldn't rely on sexual themes, or in-depth violence beyond what was considered acceptable for children's television, to carry the program. Like I said, they had to be creative for some things, and they did it without talking down to the audience. Those 2 elements combined for a stellar show, and overall connected animated universe.

Eventually they might be the last survivor of their entire species and eventually the only thing living on the planet, and even further beyond that they might the only living thing left in the universe and finally another Big Bang restarts everything, and if they’re still around by that point then they have to watch the cycle of creation, life, death and destruction all over again.

Most versions I’ve seen of vandal savage used to be a Neanderthal that got blessed with immortality and at the same time the gift of knowledge. It’s why he’s usually able to make such advanced doomsday devices on his own without much outside help.

[@steelbear2063]

Killing Justice League would be something you'd remember forever

[@Red_Ryry]

@@steelbear2063 yeah but the exact details of it are foggy. No matter how significant an event it does not grant you a photographic recollection of it. Details will still be messy.

[@goldensoul1842]

This show truly was decades ahead of its time. Incredible writing and the best voice actors made it brilliant.

[@WolfRamAndHart]

Develop this story into a Live Action movie...it would make a $1 billion dollars easily. So well written, and poignant. The whole episode is just as good.

[@ericsantana1184]

Vandal Savage has been manipulated by Nature ever since the meteorite gave him powers but in the end he did one thing right one thing that could give him Redemption and that is helping Superman return to his time and in return Superman gave him peace by allowing him to defeat him in the past.

[@vladtheimpaler9577]

"You have to keep busy or you'll go mad" Sounds like he has a lot of first hand experience.

[@Burningflame97]

If I had Vandal Savage's immortality, the most fitting hobby for me would be a chronicler of world history. Imagine the giant library of books that would result...

[@Rebellions]

Thats Trazyn The Infinite.

[@Insatiableismyname]

Yeah, and I would just send him back in time with the dinosaurs 🦕 again

[@brockragni1053]

2:00 it is strange to see him so nonchalant?

[@brockragni1053]

Like I legit would probably call up this guy on a boring Saturday and say: Me: hey you want to grab lunch or something? Him:(Nonchalant)Sure, I'm not busy. Applebee's? Me:Sure.

[@humourlessjester3584]

It's really interesting to have a villain win and then just realise after thousands of years of self reflection that it wasn't worth it. It's probably the most realistic reaction when you had a lust for power and then immortality.

What show

[@GrapeCheckerBoard]

@cold_lenny4207 @husseinsalih6952 “Justice League.” This episode is “Hereafter Part 2.”

Vandal Savage became the literal embodiment of Minecraft Steve

Vandal Savage spent his eternal life trying to rule the world and ironically he now does being the last human left on the planet.

He saved the world alright, Just all for himself.

[@seanlee566]

3:00 I know Superman is weary and jaded from years of battle, but John and Martha Kent would never raise a boy to disrespect a host at the dinner table.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

Well, there is also the bit about the fact that Savage calmly admitted to murdering all of his loved ones and coworkers and basically ending the world. Overall, I think Clark was pretty cool about the whole thing. And he did pretty quickly even come to respect and genuinely appreciate Savage.

[@seanlee566]

@@DoremiFasolatido1979 I'm pretty sure the first lesson Clark learnt from Pa Kent was to not make dinner plans with an immortal power hungry morally bankrupt villain who killed all your friends and the people on earth and destroyed the entire orbit of the solar system, with the exception that he has spent at least 10000 years living in the fruits of his "success", and is the only other person on earth. I am paraphrasing of course but I'm sure every parent has taught their child this lesson.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

@Sean Lee I'd hope Jonathan wouldn't be that stupid, myself. But I think the Kents were Christians, so they probably buy into that whole eternal punishment garbage. I don't. I prefer to think superman understands there's always time and a chance for redemption. Even for creatures like Hitler.

[@seanlee566]

@@DoremiFasolatido1979 I very much believe so too. Everyone deserves redemption. Dinner? there are some relatives I won't have dinner with.

His younger self wouldn't listen. He knows that.

​@@SeraphSephyup, some folks just gotta learn the hard way. Savage's ego is insurmountable, nothing short of permadeath would stop his ambition.

I really really really love this episode One of the best from the iconic justice league show Vandal savage is so chill

[@rmerrida]

Always has amazed me how nowadays a simple half-hour long animated series could outclass a big budget multi million dollar 'block buster' movie.

2:29 honestly if i was immortal like Savage here, i would surely read and learn everything, literally everything. I could take all the time i want for anything. It's a crazy thought for me.

[@georgechin6271]

Using a gravity weapon that upsets the solar system as demonstrated in the episode could have had so many side effects. Asteroids hitting the Earth with all manner of toxic chemicals or a "pop" solar flare could heat up the atmosphere enough to burn all books.

[@whammycheng3758]

3:00 I can’t believe an immortal madman required 30,000 years just for him to gain some level of morality and a workable conscious. This is where I find a few versions of Marvel’s Loki to be lucky enough to discover personal virtue when it wasn’t too late.

[@dikastederook6380]

In all honesty, Savage is on a whole different level of brutality and evilness than even the worse versions of Loki. And this version is actually pretty tame

[@jonathanross149]

The trouble with being immoral is at some point you will trap yourself forever.

[@superdude8745]

I recently rewatched Superman the animated series and holy shit it’s way better than the new Superman show. The new show is good but it’s all just cutesy anime moments with ass villains. Superman the animated series really was just amazing

[@DarkGob]

All of the DCAU holds up really well. Sure, Batman has a few stinkers but they are far outweighed by the really amazing episodes.

[@Rimka-i2n]

The entire DCAU had a heart and a feeling that newer shows and movies can never replicate

[@superdhanshu]

This series had a lot of extremely good stories - the christmas special with flash and humanoid, The episodes where vandal savage uses this same machine to send a laptop to his WW2 version, the great brain robbery, and of course the final with that "world of cardboard" dialogue from superman. If only WB/DC had decided to slowly build to that moment and have henry cavil speak those lines to zod or darksied (instead of quickly sprinting to big team ups to catch up with MCU), it would have been golden!

[@Cmdtheartist]

This is the episode I talk about when I want explain to people how well written these things are.

[@Dracodeus]

This was one of my favorite animated episodes. JLA put out so much good content.

[@PrometheusOfVideos]

Superman: "Self help books? You don't seem the type." Savage: "I read whatever I can find. Anyway, I got issues, what with my destroying the world and all." 😂 My friend burst out laughing the first time he heard Savage say that. Then we started saying it to each other on the regular!😅

[@Saurophaganax1931]

Superman looming over him with a rock: “I should smash your skull…” Savage: “honestly I’m just enjoying all this attention.” Superman: “…wut?” Savage: “And you just punched me in the face; TWICE! So much human contact!” Superman: “uhh…” Savage: “Best. Day. Ever. :3”
