Superman - The Last Son of Krypton

This forum is for discussing Chuck's videos as they are publicly released. And for bashing Neelix, but that's just repeating what I already said.

Inexplicably, the other two parts cannot be put on YT. I spent hours trying to edit part 2 into a format that would work, and YT just kept spitting it out with "Blocked."
Good ol' Youtube and its BS copyright system :roll:

Sorry to hear that, Youtube seems to giving content creators a hard time recently. I hope the dailymotion issue gets fixed soon, otherwise a new alternative needs to found especially a lot of videos seem to be connected through dailymotion including many of the DS9 reviews, your Vimeo videos are still working you could upload it there or is there an issue with Vimeo too?

Vimeo is throwing me out, I draw too much traffic. It's either leave of pay them enough to purchase a slightly used Jeep Wrangler on an annual basis.

Is it a regional issue you're having? Have you tried using a proxy?

Not if your business model is based around having content creators pay you to host videos.

Depends on if you have been getting ads on those videos. More views means more expense. Without a way to monetize those videos the platform pays more without benefit.

That's the thing, nobody knows. Dailymotion has worked in this country for years but it just stopped working around 12 days ago, all we get is a connection reset or has been unexpectedly disconnected message, it's as if I'm blocked from accessing the site or any videos connected to it and I'm not the only one.

The comment section is mostly filled with Egyptian users who can't access the site.

That might be the next move. I can't watch any of the videos not hosted on YouTube currently unless I disable my VPN so PornHub would be fine with me at this point.

I found a way around this, I was able to open the french version of dailymotion (I tried VPN but I got convinced how to set it up I'm not very computer savvy when it comes to certain programs) and right clicked the video and picked page source so I could play a full screen version of the video. Now being a Superman fan I can give my two cents regarding the review.

- I think this is the best premier within the DCU, mostly because it's an origin story and done well followed by Batma Beyond's premier and Static Shock's as the openers of a new series while Justice League's was unfortunately the weakest (luckily the entire show would be amazing)

- "It has after been some time since a Superman movie came out and it wasn't good in the first place", yeah Superman 4 The Quest for Peace wasn't good, still I gladly watch that over Superman Returns.

- I agree, the three part structure was a good choice to tell the origin story.

- It wasn't just that this was Superman in the beginning of his hero career but Bruce Timm and co. decided to depower the character because they found the powers to be more a crutch although that would lead to the character's pathetic showing in the first season of Justice League which the crew themselves admit was a huge screw up on their part and would later get a better handling of the character for the rest of the series.

- While this iteration is more inspired by the Post Crisis Superman comics of the time that was setup by John Byrne especially Clark Kent being more assertive and less mild mannered, the Kents still being alive into Clark's adulthood and of course business tycoon Lex Luthor, the show would later show more Pre-Crisis elements than the comics were willing to allow SPOILER WARNING!!
Phantom Zone criminals from Krypton and later on Supergirl would be from Argo (though unlike the Pre-Crisis counterpart Argo wasn't a colony of other Kryptonians but separate sister planet to Krypton) and not a sentient gooey shapeshifter from an alternate universe.

They had to fight for a lot of that, as I recall. They wanted Kara as Kryptonian but DC refused, and eventually they got them to agree to the Argo background. Plus they initially demanded stuff like "she can't fly" IIRC, but it was quietly ignored.

IIRC in the 90s DC was still trying to hold to the "Superman is the only Kryptonian" rule and not having a Kryptonian Supergirl as in pre-Crisis. They only folded on that in the aughts due to Dan Didio's love of the older characters (hence the return of so many of them in that decade: Hal Jordan, Oliver Queen, Kara Zor-El, even Barry Allen eventually).
