Deku’s less like Spiderman and more like Silver Age Superman with how he gets new powers that just so happen to be exactly what he needs at the time. The Spiderman reference is also pretty short lived as he ends up changing how he uses Blackwhip and relies more on Float and Fajin to get around once the mid gauntlets are destroyed

"The S on that chest stands for hope." Ironically Superman's powers are arguably the least important thing about him. The incorruptable kind, hopeful, and forgiving person who always does what is right is what makes superman unique. The thing I enjoy most is that Superman is a character that spits in the face of cynicism infesting everything in moderm media. A proud idealist seeing the best in things

Absolutely, and when you do bring up his powers in the context of all of his other traits what you get is a very clear cut subversion of the power corrupts trope. Clark Kent has had these powers basically for as long as he can remember and what does he choose to do? He doesn’t try to rule the world or go on a crime spree, instead he just tries to help people. Every time I see an “Evil Superman” I just think “Guess their playing the power corrupts trope straight this time, I certainly hope the rest of the show is good or at least has something else going on.” Although at this point I tend to just drop the second half of that thought and then watch something else.

One thing I think you could've touched on when showing that Goku is NOT a symbol of hope in his universe is the spirit bomb used against Buu. Goku needs to use the spirit bomb to defeat Buu, and for that he needs the energy of every human on Earth. But they don't know who the heck Goku is, so they don't trust him with their energy. But then HERCULE(Or Mr. Satan) asks, and he IS their symbol of hope, so they gladly share their energy for him.

Originally Goku obtained Super Saiyan through the rage he felt over watching Krillin’s death and used those same emotions when training to go SSJ at will. Because of that rage is forever tied to the SSJ transformation for him and he can’t enter the necessary mental state to gather energy Since he’s the only Saiyan that knows the Spirit Bomb there’s no one to compare him to.

I was worried that the twist with All Might was going to be “he’s actually an asshole.” I think it’s ingenious that All Might is “what if Superman was ashamed of Clark Kent.” All Might clearly takes great lengths to ensure he maintains the typical Superman persona. He never shows himself in his true form. In reality he’s standoffish, reserved and awkward. He’s the symbol of peace and if anyone were to figure out who he really was, that symbol would be damaged.

Having Goku realise he had selfishly put the Earth in constant peril and deciding to stay dead was one of the best ideas Toriyama ever had, and he immediately ruined it. And what’s worse, he ruined it by proving Goku to have made the right decision in the first place. The whole Buu saga happens because of Goku coming back to Earth to once again selfishly fight. Without that, Vegeta would have killed Babidi and his henchman and Buu would not have been revived.

And never about Superman as a character. It's always his strength, which devalues him. Well that and the fact that Power Scalers seem to ignore if you specify a very specific version of Superman. Like "Can Milkman Superman beat Goku?" The discussion starts as such...before devolving into other versions of Superman, like Injustice and Superman Prime 1 Million, and so on and so forth and it stops being engaging. But soon as you decide "Okay screw Manga Goku, I'm gonna bring up Xeno Goku" those same Power Scalers will be on your ass like "No no no! You were talking about Manga Goku! You can't bring Xeno Goku into this!" Like they didn't just switch from debating about Milkman Superman to Superman Prime 1 Million themselves...

I just wish more power scalers took interpretations and plot armour into account when making videos cause it’s why I stopped watching death battle.

Superman isn't done wrong by definition. It heavily depends on the writer. But he himself is one of the greatest super heroes out there because of who he is not what he is capable of. Every single writer that did superman first as a super that happens to be a man (in the sense of human) has done it incorrectly, it is also why most of the runs where he is depicted like that failed. Superman is first of all a man, he only happens to have super human capabilities. What is special about him isn't how he is able to lift 1 quintillion tons with one hand or how he is almost as fast as The Flash the embodiment of speed itself, no. What makes him special is his moral strength, his kindness, his willingness to see the best in everyone around him even if they're super villains. The greatest takes on Superman are exactly the ones showing that off, showing that he's seen what humankind is capable of, both good and bad and yet he believes we can be better. Heroes like Superman, Captain America, All Might (all might may be debatable) serve to show what the unreachable good would look like, they're not made to be relatable characters, they're made to be the Paragon of what we SHOULD be, completely aware that we can't be perfect but it isn't a beautiful idea because we can reach it, it is a beautiful idea because it means we can always be better, there is always room for improvement and if we really try to be a bit like them every day then maybe through our actions we can make the world a bit better.

The funny thing is I found a tweet quoting an interview from the author who actually said he primarily based All Might on Goku and Spider-Man. His bases for Goku was how when Goku arrived everyone was reassured everything was going to be ok. He put Goku’s arrival on Namek as an example.

The Saiyan desire for battle was something that only came about in DBZ when Toriyama changed Goku’s origins. In the original series Goku was more of a traditional martial artist who sought to get stronger through training, he never went around looking for fights and would often ask people nicely to stop first before engaging them in a fight. DBZ changed the dynamic by having Goku arrive after the fight had already started meaning there was no attempt to talk things out and pitted him against opponents who couldn’t be reformed

@@LukewarmTakesYT yeah, i actually forgot Superman is the symbol of hope, thanks to recent movies, they forgot to incorporate that part, only big explosions and destroying buildings XD

Watched your very first video a few months ago and always wondered when that proceeding video on all might would arise, definitely worth the wait 🎉

Great video, man! You really nailed the vibes of Superman and All Might!

I grew up on Superman in the 80s, and I loved him as a kid. But when I found MHA a couple years ago, All Might became my favorite, hands-down. While AM and Superman do share the qualities discussed in this video, I find the former to be vastly more entertaining and dynamic. First, AM has a light comedic side to him that isn’t overplayed, but is used just enough to enhance his personality. He also has personal shortcomings, like struggling to translate his prowess into teaching moments. He is not invincible; he carries a grotesque scar from a fight with his nemesis, and we see him injured and bleeding in some of the more memorable fights. He doesn’t pull punches; it’s hard to think he wasn’t trying to end All For One’s life when you see what he did to his face. We see that he is more than happy to merely incapacitate and capture villains when he is able, but against major threats, he is willing to do what it takes to maintain peace. While he too has moments when he needs to hold back for the sake of those around him, that’s not the crux of his angst. He isn’t worried about hurting villains-his focus is on who he is protecting and what he has to do to ensure their safety. His smile is to put people at ease and give them hope, but we know there are many times when it is a conscious effort and even a struggle for him to keep smiling; he isn’t just grinning because life is good when you’re the world’s greatest hero. -And it makes it all the more impactful when he stops smiling. While this video does a great job of separating Clark’s character from the spectacle, and showing his parallels with AM, I admit I interpreted the title differently. I think Lukewarm is saying that AM is the right anime adaptation/equivalence of Superman, but I read the title as saying that All Might is a vast improvement. Superman is the bare bones of hope and inspiration, having very little personality and suffering from a constant increase in his powers/capabilities that bring him to an almost god-like level of existence. Clark is about as interesting as a Kansas wheat field. His writers seem to take him very seriously, and that means Clark takes himself seriously as well. He is, in fact, very alien, showing very little in the way of being human. His simplicity was perfect for me as a kid, but as a teen, the only time I found him interesting was in his fatal encounter with Doomsday. It wasn’t because he died, but because it was the first time I saw him showing real courage, perseverance, and sacrifice. So many stories and iterations of him either had him nigh-invulnerable in his normal state, or completely useless in the presence of kryptonite. His fight with Doomsday was the first time I saw him bleed, the first time I saw him show fear and desperation-in short, the first time I found him relatable. Superman’s role as an aspirational hero comes at the price of his relatability. Compassion and restraint come easy when you are invincible. Whereas AM has witnessed the murder of a beloved mentor and lives as a diminishing shell of his former self due to a severe injury, Clark has largely been protected from personal loss. (I know he is an orphan from his planet, but I think losing people he never really met to a global natural disaster is different from having someone he knows and deeply cares for murdered. That, and he has lived in a world where the main villain has been able to kill, harm, and destroy for years, whereas Superman is able to immediately address threats-mostly before there’s any lasting or significant collateral damage.) More recent iterations of Superman have explored what he would become if he lost someone close to him, like Lois, and the result is rather abysmal. It can be argued whether the ‘what if’s’ are accurate, but I think it’s fair to say it would alter his outlook in a significant way. All Might manages to be inspirational and aspirational while still coming across as very flawed and very human, adapting to new roles during the story. He is humble, and willing to humble himself further when needed. He doesn’t always know the right thing to say and questions some of his decisions. While many of the other wielders of OFA have simply passed it on to the next successor, AM takes the time and effort to become a mentor, and heavily invest in his successor’s life. (Granted, most of the previous OFA users had their lives cut short and didn’t necessarily choose not to be mentors.) He fails. Many times. He has a variety of involved relationships (Gran Torino, Nighteye, Nana, and Deku to name a few-as well as many of the other students and faculty) that flesh out his character further. AM was the symbol of peace, but the writing made him much more than a symbol, giving him far more range. Whereas many people have recoiled at the Snyder version of Superman, saying it’s too far removed from who Superman really is, AM is the equivalent of both versions of Superman; he has the altruism, compassion and inspirational qualities of comic/OG Superman, while also having moments of grief, angst, self-doubt, and a willingness to kill from the films. It’s been a long time since I’ve checked in on what Clark is doing. From the few comics I read, to the 90s animation, to the Dean Cain TV show, and even the JL/JLU series, there wasn’t a whole lot of change. Lois-and, to a lesser degree, Jimmy and Perry-were the only significant relationships he had. His involvement in other people’s lives was minimal. He was a symbol and embodiment of many virtues, and he had the depth you would expect from a symbol. He was more like a celebrity than a “normal” person, and he often operated within a very simplistic, black-and-white morality. His powers have grown whenever the plot needed them to, but his role has never changed or been expanded in any significant way. I came across MHA during a time when superheroes were becoming darker and more macabre. The anti-hero was becoming a grotesque version of itself, celebrating and indulging in the “anti” and showing very little in the way of “hero”. If a character seemed too good to be true, it meant he was either little better than a villain, or was going to become some perversion of virtue. I had become bored and disinterested in classic heroes like Spider-Man and Superman who valued their conscience and stilted morality more than the lives of others. I wearied of the retcons, multiverse shenanigans, and perpetual power creeping that happened whenever lazy writing required it. In short, I was done with the superhero genre as a whole, enjoying a few of the earlier Marvel films that featured a bit more realism, vulnerability and humanity. All Might was a breath of fresh air, and his initial arc in MHA (through his rematch with AFO) is far and away my favorite portrayal of a hero in modern media.

I read all of this, and more people should. You may also want to copy what you wrote for some other purpose, maybe outside of this comments section as well. What you said would also make a worthy video, for example.

Okay I love this video and I feel there are others that do an amazing job of having Superman-like “save everyone they can” characters. My main three ideas of this are Shinra, Naruto (War Arc and on), and Tanjiro. I wish people did videos on how Shinra is characterized tbh 😅

goku didn't give cell a senzu bean for a good fight. he was training gohan who he saw as his successor. goku had a weird but understandable phase where he focused on the future generations(the cell fight and the good buu ssj3 fight). you could have used a better scene like goku letting vegeta go

Thanks to the Superman Animated Series, my interest in becoming a fan grew into the early 2000s. Yes, the line of"cardboard" is epic, but his commentary on the death of Dan Turpin. "Goodbye, old friend; in the end, the world didn't really need Superman, just a brave one." I cry tears every time. You see Superman's tears. How can you not like him?

I saw that Superman video you made and then lost it. I’m glad I found your channel again. I miss listening to people that understood Clark Kent.

Superman to me is a fire fighter, someone who comes in with saving people being his primary concern, rather than fighting criminals.

I feel like Goku from Dragon Ball Z specifically is a good Superman too. The points you made about him are a lot more prominent in Dragon Ball Super. Z Goku enjoys spending time with his family and times of peace. He would never put his loved ones at risk for a good fight. All the serious fights he’s been in in Z were necessary to protect the world. They really changed Goku’s personality drastically in Super.

I was with you I until that last part of your statement

You have a strong thesis here and do a good job comparing and contrasting the narrative functions of Superman, Goku, and All Might! I'd say you repeat yourself a few times over the course of the essay, but otherall a great broad look at the characters!

Fantastic video all around! With Superman, his strength is a burden and moral responsibility that he was born with, but it's also an opportunity to make the world safer. With Goku, his ambition and personal drive are always in tension with the sense for what's right Grandpa Gohan taught him. He's always walking this tight rope between what he wants and what he believes is right, whereas with Superman, he's someone non-violent whose best means to do what's right are abilities that have the potential for incredible violence. Two different, but compelling internal conflicts. With All Might and Superman, it's also about different kinds of strength, I think. There's physical power, and there's strength of conviction. At no point does All Might ever consider using his power to oppress others like All For One does. During his last big fight in the manga, we get to see into All Might's thoughts and feelings, and all he can think about is how much joy it brings him to help others. It's why he chooses Izuku. People will always try to say that Izuku was handed One For All, but that's never been the case. On top of all the training he had to do to become a vessel for One For All, he was chosen by All Might because he was a have-not, a powerless person in a world of super powers, who still believed in doing the right thing and helping others even when it put himself in danger. Honestly, I think you struck gold with this idea and I wish you'd dug into it more. Because there's a huge amount you can say about All Might's place in the story and world of HeroAca, as well as the theme of inspiration. Like how the end game of the story has gone on to be Izuku inspiring others to act the way All Might inspired him, or the way that All Might accidentally contributed to a society that worked against his ideals. In a world where every problem can seemingly be solved by one person, people start to disregard their responsibilities to others. That's how you get cases where people like Twice, Toga, and Shigaraki slip through the cracks, ending up in hopeless situations where no one will help them because they don't see it as their responsibility to help. Heroes help; everyone else either waits for help or just goes it alone. If I may offer some constructive criticism: be a little more discerning about the clips you choose. Some of the visuals you put on screen don't really match the topic or tone you're talking about. However, I really like the quality of your ideas and how you express them here. I'm looking forward to the viedeos you create in the future!

One of my favorite Stan Lee quotes goes something like this "The person who would win in a fight is the person *_the script writer wants to win!!!_* If I want to have a story about the Thing from Fantastic Four, and he gets into a _big_ fight with Spiderman, and millions of people out there say 'Who would win?' Well it depends on who I _want_ to win if I'm writing the script. If I want Spiderman to win, he'll win. If I want the Thing to win, he'll win. *These are fictitious characters, the writer can do whatever he wants with them! So stop asking those **_bonehead_** questions!!!"* Ever since I heard it I stopped comparing characters based on strength and more by their actual, you know, _character._ I quickly warmed up to Superman after that despite kind of being tricked into hating him as a teenager by stuff like Death Battle and the like. Powers aside, he's just a good kid from a small town trying to do what he thinks is right.

Superman is the perfect Superman. All Might is an allegory of a Superman but not done in the "right way" just done in a different way. When I think about My Hero Academia all I can think of it as is poormans X Men.

Is that quote at the start from Superman VS The Elite or the comic version of that storyline. It's one of my favourite Superman's quotes he constantly has to hold back and i love it.

I think All Might stands as a great example of Superman at his core, but still love Supes a lot more as a character and like a lot of other heroes in MHA more than All Might but he done a real fine job even after he lost his powers and helped Class 1-A so much especially in this last final battle that's come to an end recently. Cool video for sure and just popped into my recommended out of nowhere.

DB fans say the rest is all down hill after the master piece.

No. Superman is superman done right. The very fact you compare All might TO superman is proof of that. You can find plenty of good superman stuff. It exists in the comics. And often in live media on the CW Superman and Loos show.

I have a handful of things to say on Goku v Superman outside of just the fight. On the topic of Goku being hard wired to look for a fight, I have this. While Goku has indeed shown many times where he has desired to fight someone, there are also plenty of times where we’ve seen him choose not to fight. The one that comes to mind is when he decides he’s done fighting Cell and passes the fight off to Gohan. There is another point during the Buu saga I believe when Goku and Gohan are confronted, Gohan becomes angry and Goku is talking him down, telling him not to fight. There have been tournaments where Goku has chosen not to participate. Secondly, the thing that’s always bothered me is the idea that Goku doesn’t care about collateral damage. Come on people, the “Let’s fight somewhere empty” meme exists for a reason. One of the reasons Goku fought Frieza was to keep him distracted long enough to evacuate Namek. Thirdly, the idea that he doesn’t care for his family. He died saving Gohan from Raditz. He gave Cell a Sensu Bean, sure, but Gohan won the fight anyways, he had faith in his son. He spent a year in the time chamber with his son. A year. When’s the last time you spent an entire year in the same room with someone? Now to the other side of the argument. Superman. He is stronger than Goku. There is no debate there. Superman is borderline toon force power. But you are right, people are missing the point when they put these two characters together. The thing that unites them is their sportsmanship. Superman has been in plenty of contests. He’s raced the flash, arm wrestled gods, played chess with higher dimensional beings… and it was for the sport of it. If Goku and Superman met, they would fight. And it would be for sport. No one would die, no collateral damage would happen to the earth. They would be friendly rivals at worst. That may not be the answer some people want, but it is the only answer that makes sense based on everything these two have had written about them.

Great video

Having watched this, makes me realize that All Might is such a compelling character, because we experience him AFTER his peak, when his power is on a downward trajectory, and time is running out. Wouldn't hit as hard just... watching him beat dudes up. That all is why his final battle with all-for-one had me on the edge of his seat - he was falling apart, you had no idea which way it would actually go.

I was actually thinking about this the other day

FINALLY someone acknowledges Superman as a character rather than a powerful entity.

What a great and wonderful analysis 👍

Hello!

This is the moment when the scriptwriters forget the discussions that accompany the character, and transform him into a visual spectacle in fights.

One of the best characters Analysis I’ve ever watched

One thing to note, is that when Horikoshi said Goku was an inspiration for All Might, he more so meant on how Goku arriving in dragon ball brought a sense of relief/hope to a dire situation (namek, vs vegeta, etc) and that that's what Horikoshi wanted to replicate - that feeling when Goku/AM are there, everything will be alright. This is a great analysis of superman, goku and AM btw, keep it up!

You got it absolutely right man. Good Job!m

Goku didn't leave to train Uub so that he could have a good fight. He left to train Uub so that Uub would be a good defender of Earth when goku dies.

I think the title is a bit misleading, considering where the discussion went, but I agree with pretty much everything here.

Both characters are my favourite! I love them❤❤ But it also has a dark implication that to be that good and helpful you have to be strong, since weak people can't help others as they need to help themselves first. Love the video

@LukewarmTakesYT

Ай бұрын

I believe that I didn’t make my point about strength clear enough. Their strength helps them save the most people and leads them to becoming their society’s respective “strongest hero”. However, what cements them as beacons of hope and image of heroism is their innate heroic motivations. Deku before and after gaining his quirk, was just as much of a hero as All Might, and earned One for All due to his heroism. Weak doesn’t mean you can’t be a hero. By comparison, Batman is weaker than nearly every other hero, but pulls his weight as a hero just the same as the others.

I just want to mention that super man is often looked at as a powerhouse (well I mean HE IS a powerhouse) is because his villians almost exclusively see him like that. He's almost always painted by them in that kind of light.

I was getting ready to throw hands but you actually understand the character. Respect. For that, and for getting me to click.

Love the video bro!

Excellent video.

I haven't even seen the video yet, but I agree with the premise.

A Well put together video. Superman vs The Elite was a perfect example of Superman's character imo.

The infamous "World of Cardboard" speech quoted at the start of the video is all about how Superman limits himself to avoid catastrophically damaging the world and people around him.

Me, after dealing with like, 10 years of Superman clones that are just "What if Superman... but evil?": "All Might huh? I wonder how this guy is going to turn out to be sinister." Me, after binging the series and reaching the end of his battle with All for One: *Literally standing up in my seat, cheering him on like the background characters*

I love that Superman has had his personality played with in many comic lines like the injustice story line. It shows a super man that has a different personality and it shows how much he changes as a character. The Superman in that story completely flips his topical personality and he becomes more tyrannical like Omniman or homelander. I think that the personality of a character defines them more than their powers do. You can be strong but without the being a good person you would never be a good hero. If Mha kinda touches this too with endeavor. You see him try to become a better person and figure out his role in everything. He realizes that the strength he went after for so long is not what makes a good hero and he doesn’t realize what he needed till he attempts to fix his family relationship. While all might is a Superman parallel character. Endeavor represents how people to become then better hero.

The video can do without the first 9 minutes. I find hard to think that anyone had a misunderstanding about superman and Goku. I liked the video even though I don't agree with your take on all-might. Superman doesn't want to be a symbol of Hope, that is just a byproduct of him being a good person doing what he can to help. And yeah he tries to be a model to inspire because it is within his capabilities to do so and be a positive influence in people but he definitely doesn't want to be in a toxic relationship of dependence with everyone else. All Might in the other hand doesn't have an ill intention but that is what he achieves at the end. Everyone including his villains are obsessed with him, and I have always thought he is a negative influence.
