I bet number one is the fact that no one can see it's him wearing glasses

Number six!

Well that's why he's the Critic.

Those Wha-Wha machines an't cheap.

I went over a this is how it sounds.

Weoo- *fzzt* wa*fzzt*-weolp-waaa... *crack* *fzzt*... I'm scared *fzzt*... will I DReammm...

When I saw you were going to make fun of Superman doug I decided I WOULD DESTROY YOU when we meet, but after time and watching the video, I agree with pretty much everything you said.

How ever I will now Defend Superman and make you look like a Fool. Sorta.

11. Agreed, but It didnt bother me at all.
10. Hahaha, yea that kid was a retard - but all kid are - I used to do that same game (but not on ledges)
9. Hhaha, that was bad ass when he took that bia over the ledge, he's a pimp.
8. They need to be dumb.
7. This was due to the dwindling budget for each film following the good ones.
6. Dont question the glasses. At one point it was explained that superman actually has mind powers that convinces everyone when he wears glasses he looks completely different.
5. You think this was weird? You need to the scenes of Nuclear Man One that was cut. That's right this guy in the movie was actually Nuclear Man Two!
4. This was a creative control battle between the producers and the director. This was the wrong direction one side wanted to take that made it on screen. They wanted to make superman more like the campy batman original series.
3. HAHAHHAHAHHAHA! Greatest reference parody in superman history!
2. Superman 3 did not exist. Except for the end where Superman Fights Dark Superman.
1. NO, NO NO. I hate you. Dont destroy this for me. This is the coolest Power Ever (it works I swear - I tried it)and I hate you so bad. Your just jealous!

Fanboy Defense Complete.

P.S. At least superman doesnt wear makeup or something, Doug looks odd in this one. Did anyone else notice doug seemed to be wearing make up?

About 3: Richard Pryor.

IMO, It had everything to do with the Casting. When I first Saw the movie (especially on the part where Lex Luthor said to him as 'The Man Who Killed Superman), I enjoyed it. What was pretty unusual was why Was Pryor casted in the movie.

Anyways, I have nothing bad to say about Pryor because he is a great comedian in many other movies with the exception of Superman 3.

BTW, Doug (Nostalgia Critic) Does look like he's wearing eyeshadow.

Yes he did look like he had eye liner on, I was thinking it was from his new skit, what was it? the one were he is the jokers brother.

he put it in his top 11 fuckups. GOOD JOB MORON!!! (not you dallas...Doug...for wearing eyeliner) I love you Doug!

yea... it looks like Doug is wearing eyeliner or something... then it kinda looks like new smaller frame glasses... but something is deff up.... OMG, its a clone cyborg sent back through time to impersonate Doug and brainwash us!!! Just lets hope he uses a different power then Superman :0

nah i think he just pulled an all-nighter or something caus he posted a lot more videos than usual this week :dry:

10. Kids are usually not THAT stupid!

"At least superman doesnt wear makeup"

No, but he wears underwear outside his pants. I think that kind of makes things a little even.

"6. Dont question the glasses. At one point it was explained that superman actually has mind powers that convinces everyone when he wears glasses he looks completely different."

Oh yes, the old "superhypnosis" excuse. It doesn't hold water. Think about it, that would explain why nobody figures it out when looking at him in person, but how come nobody sees through it when looking at photographs of him? Does the hypnosis preemptively mind-wipe people without him ever needing to be there?

That defense is pretty much pure fail. If your defense is that it was supposed to be dumb and refusal to admit the points are dumb than you're just an idiot.

No spinning the Earth backwards doesn't rewind time, the glasses are pointless, and most kids are not retards. You even piss on your own feet by saying "i used to do the same thing, but not on ledges". That's the fucking point moron!

I don't mind Superman, but these movies were retarded. And so are you fanboy.

Why does CR! keep getting thumbs down?
At least he's not yelling FIRST COMMENT or something stupid like that

Pro-tip: reply to the video after watching it.

This was brilliant Doug! You area genius!

Ripping it to the one of the biggest superheros of all time, that's going the extra mile

Great video. love it.

Yes! I was looking forward to this one!

lol, great vid, as always :D

I think I 'm just weird, but I never had a real thing for Superman. He's way too wholesome and family friendly for my tastes.

I always stuck to Batman.

Great video as always though.

In regards to number nine: you can sort of see down Lois's shirt, so it's not all that bad. ;)

I was so sure the part in Superman 2 where he rips off his s shield and uses it to tie up Non would be on the list!

I was thinking the exact same thing! :lol:

I thought it would be on the list, as well. As a matter of fact, it's the second thing that comes to my mind after hearing the words "Superman" and "movie" in the same sentence. (The first is "Gawd, Superman Returns was awful.")

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, if one was to travel the speed of light around the earth they would move forward in time thus stopping in the future. Therefore in theory if one was to move in the opposite direction of the earth's rotation then they should be able to travel to the past... right?

Yes, but the earth would have to travel as fast as super man was going, which it wasn't nearly.

I know it's easy to throw in big words but what you said is completly incorrect... Einstein's Theory of General Relativity describes the Equivalence Principle under wich the states of accelerated motion and being at rest in a gravitational field are physically identical. The concept of time travel is found in Quantum Physics and has nothing to do with the Earth's rotation nor Einstein.

you would need to compensate for the speed the earth is spinning at so would therefore need to travel slightly faster than the speed of light, which is impossible (even for superman)

No, not really. You'd also just move fowards in time, no matter which direction.

Great review like always ^^ You're right about the whole number one slot, I'm guessing they did that so they can add a bit of drama...only to snatch it away at the last minute because they wouldn't want one of the main characters to remain dead ' That's realistic...

I was wondering why the NC looked like he was wearing eye makeup, but once he turned emo at the end I understood

probably leftovers from "Melvin"

Oh thank god someone else noticed!

I think they CAN see through his disgize, they just pretend they can't and when he leaves have a laugh about it :D

In the Richard Donner cut of Superman 2 they took one of your worst moments (the memory-erasing kiss) and replaced it with a reuse of the #1 stupidest moment-yeah he spins the Earth backwards a second time to erase her memory-which, oddly enough actually seems to make more sense-even if it's offset by the stupidity of the turning the Earth backwards reversing time and the fact that it's using the EXACT SAME plot device from the first film.

Except for the fact that, originally, the time travel trick wasn't even supposed to BE the ending of the first Superman movie.

Actually, believe it or not, Richard Donner had intended the stories of Superman and Superman II to be in one movie where spinning the Earth backward would've only been used only once at the very end. When it became obvious they couldn't cram that much story into 1 movie, they used it in the first movie, not knowing if it would be successful or not. Then, when it was, they had to find another ending to the conflict in the second movie. Had they done it Donner's way, then the time-travel paradox wouldn't have existed.

Grrrrreat list.

I only saw Superman 1 and 2, not the other ones in the history. And I do remember that little bastard at Niagra Falls...I was about 14-15 at the time and I still wanted to beat this kid and his mother!!! Also, Richard Pryor is a comic god...it's so sad he was in a movie like this....Great job as always critic!!!! Can't wait for the next review! :D

Great look at the flaws!

YES ON NUMBER ONE!!! OMG YES!!! I watched that scene when I was eight, and even then I thought it was bullshit! I was so glad to see that one as the Top Moment!! You totally made my day, NC!! :D

Kind of a depressing ending, but valid. However, you didn't mention the stupidest thing in a Superman movie. Superman Returns... and is a deadbeat dad!!! God! That pissed me off so damn much!! Superman wouldn't do that! *screams some more*

Killing yourself? Spiderman might approve, but then, he's an emo, but I think Superman would frown upon taking your own life. Also, way was the plastic S from Superman 2 not on this list? Where did that come from, what as it made of, and why did he thing it would do any good at all?

Well, with all that said and done, I wonder what his viewpoint on a total reboot is?

5: If he could fly fast enough to send the entire planet back in time, he could fly fast enough to, oh, I don't know, travel back in time on his own, which would be far easier?

-

On that note, I loved Pinky and the Brain coming out of nowhere and having just exactly the scene you needed.

-

Also, how the hell does Lois fly if he's only holding on to one arm, if that? Is he somehow generating enough lift for the both of them? If so, why the hell hasn't her arm ripped straight from the socket?

-

And while I'm ranting, isn't there one movie where he fixes a wall just by looking at it, displaying some form of telekinesis that was never before established and never seen since?

Okay, rant over, excellent video, but I had no reason to expect otherwise.

wow, this one brought back memories..... lol never was a superman fan.... now i think i remember why...

The Angry Video Game Nerd released a Mouse Trap review on his youtube account two hours ago, and Doug also make mention of Mouse Trap here !

It's a weird coincidence ! :silly:

... or you are soul mates.

According to the first Fan-Fic theater here, they are.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. Weird.

AVGN make critic angry :)
CRITIC SMASH!

Great list, but I cannot believe you didn't include the "throwing of the costume emblem at the villain" bit from Superman II.

By the way, the ending to the video was dark. I still laughed though.

The glasses...oh how many people have argued it.

It's not JUST the glasses from some of the better arguments.

1)It's the mannerisms

2)It's the fact that no one in that universe can even PICTURE Superman having a secret identity, so they don't try to put 2 & 2 together. They might note they look similar...but never stop to think they'd be the same.

The "Earth Spinning Backwards" was just a visual.

All he did was time travel.

Reason he never did something like that before was Jor-El's speech:

"It is FORBIDDEN to interfere with human affairs."

Also, the time travel was actually suppossed to be for Superman II (as you'll see in the Donner cut of Superman II). It was put in for the first movie because the ending wasn't dramatic enough.

Director's commentaries are your friend.

That's all great, but it still doesn't make sense. How does he time travel? Film is a visual medium and if you show Superman as flying so fast the earth spins backwards as the reason for time reversing than that is what the movie is telling you. The scenes from the movie show things unbreaking (i.e. the dam) without the aid of Superman. Whether or not the director says it in the commentary is irrelevant - it's how it is portrayed on film and quite frankly it doesn't make any sense, even for a super hero movie.

3) Clark Kent is the most generic, average person ever. He looks like an average joe, has a fairly normal job, and doesn't bring any attention to himself. There are also probably thousands of people in Metropolis alone that have dark hair, medium build, and glasses.

Great List, Critic! I totally agree with the kiss and time-travel. The plastic S-Shield should've been there though.

Action Comics #560

First time Ambush Bug sees Kent he knows it's Superman :)

I love superman a lot but even he has his flaws.

I like movie reviews best, but this Top 11 was fun to watch. The wah-wah part was my favorite.

Here is a funny coincidence.

You included a "Mouse Trap" reference in your video only days after AVGN posted his review of the board game "Mouse Trap".

Great 11 list as always.

And yes, #1 has always confused me. I mean, how would that even work? Spinning the Earth backwards? We'd all, I don't know, DIE?!?!

Still, I loved this list. I always loved the Superman movies, and even with their dumb moments, they're still great classics.

plus wouldnt the second nuke just hit a second time and kill all of them any way?

Another great video, but now I'm really annoyed about the whole flying around the world to reverse time thing! :lol:

hey on number 1 u forgot that if he reversed time the second missile still would have struck cause he basically just rewound the earth time so when it 'plays' again it would hit..... like rewinding the movie and watching the nuke explode over and over again
