Justice League Pitch Meeting

* Main
* Transcript

**Justice League Pitch Meeting** is the first episode of the Pitch Meeting series on Screen Rant. Despite it being the first official episode of the Pitch Meeting series, the video is actually a remake of a short video Ryan posted onto his personal YouTube channel (Ryan George) of the same title. The Screen Rant version of the Pitch Meeting, however, expands on a lot more points of the Justice League movie. This video kickstarted what would quickly become a popular and beloved video series on the Screen Rant YouTube channel, as well as the rising popularity of Ryan George and his YouTube channel.

## Description

The Justice League movie is now showing in movie theatres around the world and it's not unjust to describe the reviews its receiving as being a little under par - but we think those reviews are extremely harsh if were being honest. Sure, the DCEUs latest offering is no Captain America: The Winter Soldier, no The Dark Knight, no Guardians of the Galaxy or even no Wonder Woman, but if what you're looking for is an enjoyable action flick to watch while you're munching on your popcorn, its got everything you need and more!

## Differences

*The differences between the Ryan George (channel) and Screen Rant version of the Justice League Pitch Meeting:*

* The first couple of lines of dialogue of both characters are almost the exact same as in the original Justice League Pitch Meeting, except a few minor changes.
* Screenwriter Guy is holding a script
* Screenwriter Guy is wearing a Jaws (movie) t-shirt
* The video starts showing the outside of the Studio Executive's office
* Images of the Justice League movie pop up on the screen, showing the viewer what or who the Screenwriter Guy/Executive Guy are referring to
* The ending shows an article about the failure of Justice League from the Screen Rant website, contradicting Studio Executive Guy's hopes for the movie

## Notes

* Screenwriter Guy is wearing a Jaws t-shirt
* The office in the video is barely furnished, which likely just means that the office wasn't being used for (much of) anything during these first bunch of Pitch Meeting videos.

## Trivia

* This is the first Pitch Meeting for a DC Extended Universe movie
* This is the first superhero genre movie in the Pitch Meeting series

**Producer Guy:** 'Kay, so tell me about this *Justice League* script.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Okay, so there's this bad guy named Steppenwolf, right?

**Producer Guy:** What's his backstory?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Barely matters, but he wants to destroy the world so he has to get these boxes together.

**Producer Guy:** And that's gonna be hard for him to do?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Oh no, super easy, barely an inconvenience.

**Producer Guy:** Great. What's he look like?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Well in the comics he's got like a goatee and a helmet with horns.

**Producer Guy:** *[dissatisfied]* Mm. Okay.

**Screenwriter Guy:** You don't like it?

**Producer Guy:** Nah, I'm just kind of picturing something more like the back of Professor Quirrell's head in *Harry Potter*? You know when Voldemort's kinda just living on there? Does that sound good?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Yeah. Sounds perfect.

**Producer Guy:** So tell me more about these boxes.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Well, they're called Mother Boxes.

**Producer Guy:** Mother Boxes?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Yeah, and Steppenwolf's gonna say "Mother" kind of a lot, like more than you'd think he would.

**Producer Guy:** Okay, can we also have him say some like super generic bad guy sayings?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Oh yeah, there's a ton of that in here. At one point he's like "This world will fall".

**Producer Guy:** So generic, I love it.

**Screenwriter Guy:** At another point he's like "Primitive beings".

**Producer Guy:** Perfect. Okay now tell me about the Justice League itself.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Right, so Batman figures out that something bad is going on, so he has to convince the other heroes to join his team.

**Producer Guy:** And that's gonna be hard for him to do?

**Screenwriter Guy:** No, super easy, barely an inconvenience.

**Producer Guy:** Oh.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Yeah, well Wonder Woman's already on board and then the Flash straight up says "Yes" and then they're like "We have to find Cyborg" and Cyborg shows up like "Hey, I'm Cyborg, what's going on?".

**Producer Guy:** And Aquaman?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Oh, Aquaman. That's where things get spicy here.

**Producer Guy:** I'm listening.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Okay so follow me on this: Aquaman is gonna say "No" at first.

**Producer Guy:** Right.

**Screenwriter Guy:** And so people watching will be like "Wait. Is Aquaman not gonna join the League?".

**Producer Guy:** That. Is good.

**Screenwriter Guy:** But then he's gonna change his mind. Almost immediately.

**Producer Guy:** And what are all the characters like? Like is Batman still moody?

**Screenwriter Guy:** No, Batman kinda cracks jokes now and he really really misses Superman.

**Producer Guy:** But weren't they friends for like a minute in *Batman v Superman*?

**Screenwriter Guy:** That was enough. Calls him "Clark" now. Like they were best friends.

**Producer Guy:** Fair enough.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Then there's Wonder Woman.

**Producer Guy:** Okay, so her movie was really empowering for women, so we really have to emulate that again.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Way ahead of you. So we're gonna have the Flash trip and fall onto her boobs.

**Producer Guy:** Great.

**Screenwriter Guy:** There's gonna be a little moment where the Flash is lying on top of her and it's gonna be really funny.

**Producer Guy:** 'Cause that's how people do sex!

**Screenwriter Guy:** 'Cause that's how people do sex, exactly.

**Producer Guy:** People are gonna like that.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Yeah, and then we have Aquaman talk about how hot she is, and then we have some of the Amazons fighting in bikinis.

**Producer Guy:** So basically that sends the same message as *Wonder Woman*.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Yeah basically, I think so.

**Producer Guy:** And what about Aquaman? Don't people think he's kinda lame in the comics?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Oh yeah no, he's a badass in the movie though. Check out this line of his, um… *[flips through the script]* "Mah man".

**Producer Guy:** Oh, that doesn't sound lame!

**Screenwriter Guy:** No, he's a badass now! He also drinks alcohol!

**Producer Guy:** That is so cool.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Drinking alcohol is super cool.

**Producer Guy:** Listen, this all sounds great so far but it feels like something's missing.

**Screenwriter Guy:** *[knowingly]* Superman.

**Producer Guy:** I mean, yeah, but he's dead right?

**Screenwriter Guy:** *[smugly]* Yeah, but… they're gonna bring him back from the dead.

**Producer Guy:** Oh my god!

**Screenwriter Guy:** It's gonna be really funny; he's gonna be really mad at Batman.

**Producer Guy:** But didn't you just say they were best friends at the end of the movie?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Yeah, but he kinda needs to hate him 'cause we wanna have them fight.

**Producer Guy:** Wait, Superman and Batman fight… against each other?

**Screenwriter Guy:** I know it sounds pretty crazy but I think we can try some new stuff in this movie.

**Producer Guy:** Mkay, and now even though this is kind of a big plot thing we can still have Henry Cavill promote the movie right?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Oh. Sure.

**Producer Guy:** That's not gonna like ruin the surprise, is it?

**Screenwriter Guy:** No, I think people'll still be surprised.

**Producer Guy:** Because in the movie you say he's dead, right?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Exactly, so people will be like "Oh, I guess Henry Cavill's not in this movie".

**Producer Guy:** Right, so maybe he just did those interviews as like a fan.

**Screenwriter Guy:** And then they bring him back to life and people will be like "Wha- What?".

**Producer Guy:** Perfect, and how does the movie end?

**Screenwriter Guy:** Oh, they just kinda stop Steppenwolf.

**Producer Guy:** There's no consequences?

**Screenwriter Guy:** No, they just kinda fight his Parademon things and then they stop him.

**Producer Guy:** *[unsatisfied]* I feel like there should be some consequences or maybe just like a feeling that the stakes are high?

**Screenwriter Guy:** I can add in a Russian family that gets scared.

**Producer Guy:** That'll do it.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Great.

**Producer Guy:** I gotta say, I think we have a winner here.

**Screenwriter Guy:** Me too.
