Video Discription |
please watch on the biggest screen possible. im crazy for this one for real
“The Society: Endangered Species” is a surrealist feature length film, produced as part of The Kryptonian Epic is a multi-media art project based on published DC Comics (“Superman: American Alien”) but primarily exists in the form of a multitude of Storytelling or “Pitch” videos for Youtube.
The Kryptonian Epic reimagines the DC Universe as a single epic story, remixing classic stories with new ones, all from a lens of character-based humanism, focusing on the people behind the iconic heroes we’ve come to know. re-examining and recreating certain origins, dynamics and events in a new way. The epic itself is a continuation of the world and characters of my DC-published comic series Superman: American Alien, and therefore exists in a strange philosophical gray space between canon and fan fiction.
The subject matter of this video might be initially hard to grasp, as this story is the penultimate main chapter of the Kryptonian Epic. If this were Harry Potter, THE SOCIETY: ENDANGERED Species would essentially be in the position of THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE. Ideally, you’ll enjoy it anyway, and maybe even check out some of the other videos of the epic.
For those really paying attention, THE SOCIETY: ENDANGERED SPECIES is in many ways a conclusion to The Ace Chemicals subplot, which begins in SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN #5, continues in FREEZE : TEST-RUN, and is heavily featured in SUPERMAN: FOR ALL MANKIND. It’s also the convergence point for almost every ongoing “Earth” based plot thread running through the epic, with climactic-lore-spanning developments for characters like Zatanna, Diana, and Vandal Savage, who both all appear in Z! THE MAGICAL GIRL.
It’s also the second of two SOCIETY stories in the epic, both of which focus not only on the titular group of characters, but also on how the rise of “superheroes” affects society at large, and more specifically the billionaire class and the various aristocrats of global kleptocracy. If someone is REALLY paying attention, it also ties into one of the major repeated plot points of KRYPTON: ZOD’S MASTERPIECE!
The plot points in this had to be abbreviated in places, concerning Edward Nigma, Ted Kord and Dick Grayson, for the sake of brevity. Ted Kord’s retirement subplot and romance, Eddie’s return to Arkham, and Dick’s suicidal depression in the wake of Bruce Wayne’s disappearance.
Thank you all so much for watching, please like, comment and subscribe! You can follow me on Instagram @uptomyknees1985. And if you're one of the really cool people who's been following The Kryptonian Epic so far, point out all the little hidden pay-offs and references in here to the rest of the story. That's fun, right?
The larger videos of the epic would not be possible without the hard work, creativity and dedication of both Ben Escobar, my editor/camera man/vfx/producer, and Alberto Borsato, the incredibly gifted composer whose gorgeous and inventive music is the backbone of so many of the Epic’s most important moments.
