Who would have thought "Superheroes go to group therapy" could provide such an enticing plot hook.

[@LaughingLuLu]

I know right!

[@catborg780]

Yup. I was shocked with how compelling that could be. The best part was all the personal growth that stayed with them through the series.

[@Naedlus]

@@catborg780 I may be forever disappointed in how soon the show ended, but I'll be forever thankful it ended on its own terms, without execs forcing the characters to constantly backtrack forever for the sake of more episodes.

Brandon Frasier nailed that role

[@LaughingLuLu]

I love Brendan Fraser. He absolutely crushes every role he's in, especially this one.

[@nofuxgivens2797]

@LaughingLuLu he reminds me of Walton Goggins and Ben Foster. They can pull off the characters that are layered but don't take themselves too serious. Venus Van Dam in sons of anarchy and the apartment neighbor in Thomas Jane's punisher. Brendan, I thought fell off after all those mummy movies and quit Hollywood. But really he wrecked his body doing stunts and has had a ton of surgery and therapy I'd love to see some behind the scenes on this. He wasn't suited to and mostly just did voice work. Do they use the robot actor to emote to Brandon's lines or vice versa

More specifically, this show knows how to balance its tones, something Marvel isn’t particularly good at nowadays.

Me too. If Titans went on longer than Doom Patrol, he probably would have switched over.

@@LaughingLuLu while there is a Doom Patrol in the Titans universe, they are two different Doom Patrol. It's very confusing. Doom Patrol is actually made by Berlanti Productions, which made Arrow and The Flash as well as a bunch of other shows. In the arrowverse Crisis, it is actually shown they are on different universes. This isn't actually the only time a backdoor pilot and show are two different universes. Dead boy Detectives did this as well.

Not trying to throw shade, I mean this as a genuine critique: this vide is framed as a pitch, trying to promote the show to an audience who has not seen it yet, and your pitch is genuinely quite good! I haven’t seen it and now I want to! That said, you drop a major spoiler 5 minutes into an 18 minute video. I genuinely want to see what you have to say, but I’m stopping here because you haven’t flagged spoilers and I want to see it for myself. I would recommend discussing thematics and writing FIRST, and then jumping into plot details at the end, after letting your audience know you’re entering spoiler territory. Again, no shade intended. What I’ve seen so far is great. Keep at it!

[@LaughingLuLu]

Thanks for the criticism! While I was making this video, it was intended for people that had already seen. Almost close to finishing it, I wanted to also appeal to people that hadn't seen it at the same time. Obviously, I didn't do a great job at it, so it's something I'm learning from my mistake and fixing in all of my future videos. I'm gonna make sure to separate non spoiler and spoiler stuff and give proper warnings in the videos.

[@travit666]

Plus the show's been done for a while so most people have already seen spoilers for it on Facebook KZbin Twitter and all that in some capacity

The idea of this team at its core is so good: a group of misfit weirdos brought together to be the vanguard against any apocalypse that threatens the DC universe… but all of them are such dysfunctional wrecks they can’t work together for even a minute to do so. Asking the age old comics question “why didn’t x help with this event?” with Doom Patrol can reasonably be answered with “dealing with their own shit!”

Hello @LaughingLuLu I just wanted to say your video essay was amazing. I love the Doom Patrol from the moment it aired and I greatly appreciate your kind words that you gave out about the show. I have to agree that season 4 was a bit rocky and I wish they would have given a conclusion to both Dorothy and Kipling but the finale overall was both tragic and beautiful to watch. Plus you have to admit that season is a whole lot better compared to some of the MCU shows especially ones like Secret Invasion and Wandavision there was even a article online called “Inverse” that discussed about how season 2 of Doom Patrol avoided Wandavision’s finale flaw basically it was trying to avoid the mistakes Wandavision had made in its finale compared to that of Doom Patrols. Anyway I hope you see this text and hopefully respond back, have a nice day.

[@LaughingLuLu]

Thanks for watching! I'm kinda glad they ended at season 4, because season 5 might've been stretching the show too thin. Even though the ending was rough, the show was most definitely 1000% times better than all of the mcu shows combined (besides Loki and Moon Knight, which I actually really like).

[@angeldeleon1130]

@@LaughingLuLu yeah that’s true but I kind of wish Loki could have done different variations on Kang because how come Loki can be played by different actors like a girl, a little kid, a old man, a black man, and a alligator. But Kang is just played by a single actor, I’m not trying to be rude but I’m just saying that in the cartoon Avengers Earths Mightiest Heroes we saw three different variants of Kang, one was an old man, the other a woman, and a child. I wish that they would have done that. Please don’t think I’m being rude or anything like that and I did like Moon Knight but if I had to be honest I think Doom Patrol handled it better with Crazy Jane they made DID (dissociative identity disorder) more normal and tried to make a little more lighthearted compared to Moon Knight’s. And Doom Patrol doesn’t really seem to do Identity politics compared to marvel like the part with “are you a Egyptian hero?” it just didn’t sound right, again please don’t think I’m being rude or anything. Where in Doom Patrol they just let us the audience relate to any character even if some are people of color like Madame Rouge, Cyborg, and Crazy Jane even their white counterparts like Cliff, Rita, and Larry who is a gay man but you can relate to them on either a personal level or by the choices we make too or even how we act.

my introduction to this show was from my dad watching it and I'm got hooked on it pretty much immediately, the show was weird but the characters were genuinely so endearing and just kept me wanting more and that ending left me bawling dude, even now 8 months later it still hits so hard, cliff watching his daughter and grandson be in good hands is such a good way to end it but the final line from cliff was what really hit me, the fact that his goal from the start of the first episode was made symbolic by the end was such a heartbreaking but beautiful end to a genuinely super underrated show

[@LaughingLuLu]

Same! My dad told me about the show and I was immediately intrigued. And yeah the ending is so soul crushing but also a really nice full circle.

[@callmev3531]

8:36, Character-wise, Laura is one of the more interesting characters on the show due to how, on paper, she’s just a secret villain for the team to fight, but in practice, she’s a deeply conflicted person grappling with guilt her ego refuses to process, which parallels with Rita’s revenge plot against her coming off more as another one of her attempts to reinvent herself, to give herself a role, than as a means to avenge Malcolm (10:56, and to clarify, she was already their friend until she chose her job over the group and the soldier that killed Malcolm was following William Hodges’ order, not Laura’s). Somehow, even though Rita and the Sisterhood Of Dada were the ones who were wronged, Laura’s position isn’t exactly demonized, as she was juggling the bureaucracy of the Bureau Of Normalcy, the discrimination of metas at the Bureau and rival colleagues looking to take harsher stances on metas, including the Sisterhood. Rita may have been partly correct in the fact that Laura enjoyed having power or that she had an ego, but Laura was correct in valuing power, as it was, at that time, the only means she had to keep her eccentric, idealistic friends from being weaponized. This complexity also enriches the rest of the setting, as all the characters are similarly complex individuals unable to fully comprehend the nuances around aspects of their lives due to their traumas (The Underground seeing every man, and the world around them, as a threat to be subjugated because of how Kay’s parents and community mistreated her, Cliff attempting to fix his life in various ways to compensate for his many mistakes as a husband and father, Rita’s obsession with having a role due to her mother grooming her at a young age to be an actress she could profit off of, Larry isolating himself both out of shame and to be spared potential rejection as both a radioactive metahuman and a gay man, and Victor sacrificing his sense of identity into being Cyborg as his latest attempt to earn his approval), their perspectives too mired by their pain and ego for them to move beyond them. While the rest of the Doom Patrol (with the exception of Larry) begin to flounder about and spiral by Season 3’s end, it’s Laura that is able to acknowledge her mistakes and openly attempts to better herself, unfortunately meaning surrendering herself to Rita, whose identity now revolves around being a domineering team leader that bullies Laura.

The brain and Mallah do end up being a couple in "My Adventures With Superman". But Doom Patrol was the best DC show during the arrowverse era hands down. It honestly might be the best DC show out there. The only fault I've ever had with it was COVID. And I feel like they did DID justice. It's a pretty hard thing to get right due to ablist ideas as well as the very different nature of it. Media has this habit of portraying it as something to get rid of, rather than something that's a part of someone. I don't know what it's like, but I'm autistic and our community has the same exact problem with media.

I love this show. This video would be better if you gave reasons why it's interesting, different, and worth people's time instead of spoiling all four seasons of it.

[@LaughingLuLu]

Yeah, I understand. I had a few reasons why I did it, that I explained to a few other people. But I am 100% going to do it differently for the next video I make like this. I'm gonna make sure a chunk of the video at the beginning is spoiler free.

[@Venkullix]

i loved these guys in the titans show i had no idea they had their own spinoff

[@LaughingLuLu]

It seems like a lot of people didn't know.

[@Hexlaw111]

One of my main gripes is we never got mr nobody back

[@LaughingLuLu]

Genuinely, same. I was hoping for his return every season after the first one, but it never happened.

[@joewes89]

I hate how they end good shows with fleshed out characters

[@LaughingLuLu]

True, but at least the show got a good, full circle ending.

[@tdata545]

I thought it was too fractured and not mature enough to tackle the harder stuff. It had an identity crisis that really comes to a crescendo in season 3 and I tapped out by that point.

[@LaughingLuLu]

That's a fair argument. Sometimes the wacky goofiness did outweigh the maturity, so sometimes the mature stuff was hard to take seriously.

[@akurra4342]

This show feels a lot like umbrella academy, but in a good way.

[@LaughingLuLu]

To be fair, a lot of things in this show is based off of the doom patrol comics that Gerard Way wrote, who also wrote the umbrella academy comics, and then he went on to make the umbrella academy show.

[@CarlRogeBih]

Hey!! I remember when they were filming this back in the day near where I lived in Decatur. That’s the first and last time I heard about this show lmao

[@LaughingLuLu]

Ooo, get to see anything cool?

The more i see about Doom Patrol, the more it looks like Umbrella Academy, i really NEED to watch this show-

[@jasonmurdoc9533]

Would you believe this is the role that saved Brendan Frazier’s career?

[@LaughingLuLu]

It is pretty crazy to think that this is the role that made him want to act again.

[@acupncture833]

Was this show before or after Umbrella Academy released because I always saw this show as trying to imitate that so I might have to give it a watch

[@LaughingLuLu]

They released pretty much at the same time. And to be fair, a lot of things in this show is based off of the doom patrol comics that Gerard Way wrote, who also wrote the umbrella academy comics, and then he went on to make the umbrella academy show.

[@sethwick8348]

​@@acupncture833 Umbrella Academy is also strongly inspired by Grant Morrisons Doom Patrol, which is the other Doom Patrol run covered in the show

One of my fav shows ever, i love how much heart it has

[@LaughingLuLu]

Agreed!

[@SpookyWoe]

So proud of you ❤

[@LaughingLuLu]

Thanks bro!

[@haustyl12]

DCEU and CW combined couldn’t measure up to Doom Patrol. It’s one of my all time favorite shows. Granted, it does a bit too much near the end. But still a great show

[@LaughingLuLu]

100% totally agree.

[@Mrxlongshot]

This show is peak plus branden fraser

[@LaughingLuLu]

Facts!

[@Cr1msnF4dger]

Not gonna lie the only thing i can remember from this was that one scene where that one guy used his power to flex the a muscle, but ended up making everyone climax at the same time

[@LaughingLuLu]

Yeah, you really can't unsee that scene. 😂

[@PhantoRoyce]

I’m a marvel guy,always have been. But I can wholeheartedly say DC kicks marvels ass when it comes to TV/animated stuff. They don’t have the Disney overlord looking over them making sure it’s clean enough. I like the DC shows because the characters are like real people

[@LaughingLuLu]

Exactly!

[@JojoTheVulture]

The show started really good. Then... It just became a gimmick. Just shock factor and to see how many times they can cram obscenities into each episode. Not to mention rehashing the same emotional beats over and over

[@LaughingLuLu]

That's a fair opinion.

[@uniformsyter927]

I love Alan Tudyk

[@LaughingLuLu]

He's amazing in everything he's in!

[@cb3391]

Loved this show , really loved peace maker but of coure it got screwed over.

[@LaughingLuLu]

Yeah, unfortunately.

[@1_Helluva_Hazbin_Fella]

Its interesting how this incarnation of doom patrol has Cyborg as part of the team

[@LaughingLuLu]

Yeah it definitely was an interesting choice.

[@mikaela5938]

originally in the comics beast boy was part of the team, i think anything live action is terrified of using that character though bc the sfx for his powers would probably be a lot of money to get all the different animals

[@LaughingLuLu]

@@mikaela5938 The problem was they put Beast Boy in the Titans show and they couldnt bring him on Doom Patrol.

[@mikaela5938]

@@LaughingLuLu i don't think that should have been a problem

[@LaughingLuLu]

@@mikaela5938 They probably could have worked around it somehow but they just never did. And both shows were going on at the same time, so they probably figured he could only be in one show or the other.

[@Bowiiihowdy]

What ever we do.... dont upset.... the Butts

[@LaughingLuLu]

😂

[@dragonsontea]

also very annoyed they shuehorned in cyborg, DC keeps trying to shove him into every medium. That should have been beast boy, green lives mater!

[@LaughingLuLu]

Although they definitely did shoehorn him into the show, I think it worked out very well. And yeah they should have had Beast Boy for AT LEAST the final episode.

[@jovanmitic5337]

This show is just a pure masterpiece

[@LaughingLuLu]

It really is!

awesome vid, bravo

[@tobywelburn3243]

"want to gravitate" ???

[@LaughingLuLu]

I can't tell if you're making fun of my grammar, or just disagreeing with that statement. 😂 Either way, I thought the first episode did a great job at pulling the viewer into the show.

[@dragonsontea]

It was a really good comic, I miss the vertigo lable

[@LaughingLuLu]

I'm definitely gonna read the comics at some point.

[@weshurst4895]

X men comics copied doom patrol comics, there I said it

How so?

[@pedrohenriquenunezcassiano4961]

wait, the villain of teen titans go ( the brain guy, i just using this show to give more hint of who he are) is married with a gorilla with a boina?

[@LaughingLuLu]

Yup! 😂

[@IMTABCA]

I notice you skipped over the last episode in season 1. Probably for the best.

[@LaughingLuLu]

Why for the best? I think the last episode in season 1 is pretty funny. I just skimmed over it, because I was more focused on talking about the characters, rather than individual episodes.

[@ded2thaworld963]

Lol…ngl i loved this show, it was ridiculous
