Villains are a very very important part of the media we love to watch oh so much, so I've decided to make a movie length analysis on my favorite evil versions of Superman.

HEADS UP!! This video is largely a plot summary and is often style over substance. I went in without a clear plan aside from just wanting to talk about these characters and didn't give myself enough time to flesh out the script, leading to some surface level flaws. I highly implore you to watch my newer, better, videos. youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRrE6zdhqWxRV3OUasY-enz…

Omni Man is a warrior. Homelander is a bully. Mega mind is a victim of circumstance. Buddy is a petty child. And Tighten is a creepy stalker.
-
A fun fact about the first omnidroid Mr. Incredible fights: a key reason why Bob is able to defeat is is because it wasn’t initially meant to fight him, it was meant to fight Frozone. When Mirage is spying on Bob and Frozone in the car, that was Syndrome spying on Frozone as his next target, but then his plans change once they spy Bob in the car. Its why the first Omnidroid fought Bob in an active volcano; it was programmed with Frozone’s weaknesses in mind.
-
Homelander isn't emotionless, he is VERY emotional, he just thinks about himself and no one else.
-
I always found it strange how long it took for Lois to die if superman wasn't holding back against what he believed to be an unreasoning monster.
-
There are so many evil supermen at this point that the most subversive thing to do would be make an actual good guy Superman who makes it through a whole movie without killing anyone
-
I love how every other evil superman gets relative screen time in this video but there's just a big ass bar for Homelander
-
Shame to leave out one of my favroite scenes from Homelander, the end of season 3 where he killd a guy and thinks "welp, there goes my reputation" but instead of that, everyone starts cheering for him, showing that he might not even lose everything he cares about if he goes insane
-
Fun fact: if you pay attention on the background of Mark by Battle Beast, you can see something in the sky, and it's definitely not an art mistake. It's Omni man watching over his son
-
“I’m bigger. I’m stronger. I’m better. I AM BETTER!” This quote says it all about certain characters.
-
The lesson actually learned from syndrome is to not use a cape because you will always end up getting screwed over by it.
-
I think you forgot to mention that Megamind was always a Hero, shoehorned into the role of villainy, not just by his upbringing, but by his peers in school. Metroman says as much when he gives him the pep talk, and this is shown especially, as even when he's in complete control, he never causes any terror directly.
-
You forgot to mention the fact that after Homelander's "I'm better" speech, people started rallying to him because a good chunk of the populace found him to be relatable due to his struggles. People began to see him as a hero standing up to corruption, and he begins to gather his own political following. To the point where he kills someone for attacking his son in public, and the public agrees with him and cheers him on instead of cursing him out.
-
I feel like the real lesson from The Boys is that laser vision is dangerous and needs restraint and practice.
-
i like how the title is so simplistic yet the video is 1 and a half hours long 💀
-
I still stand by that a good superman is a thousand times more interesting than an evil one
-
I think one of the best takes on the Evil-Superman was in the Irredeemable series. Showing how he started as a genuine hero but was influenced by the world he kept saving into being evil... then the end of the series lost sight of that and got weird.
-
I love how Syndrome designed a robot with adaptive combat AI but forgot to disable it learning or programming it so that it would never seek to kill him. He literally pulled a Plankton from SpongeBob SquarePants Battle for Bikini Bottom with the robot.
-
Injustice Superman is basically the moral opposite of Kingdom Come Superman. Both versions have everything they love taken away because of Joker, but while Superman went insane with grief, KC Supes kept his resolve and grieves Lois's death pretty normally.
-
Great video! But I personally wouldn't consider Syndrome to be an evil superman. I feel like he's more an evil batman or robin personally
