Black Adam Pitch Meeting

Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to Black Adam!

Dwayne Johnson has been trying to get his Black Adam made for nearly fifteen years. Now, in 2022, it’s finally come to life. And one thing is for sure, it’s a movie that came out, and now the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe has been affected in some way probably.

Black Adam definitely raises some questions. Like why are Atom Smasher and Cyclone even in this movie? What was up with that Eternium stuff that make Black Adam weak? Why was that kid always skateboarding? Is Black Adam a bad guy just because he keeps saying he is? Why can’t Doctor Fate stop removing his helmet all the time?

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to the Black Adam!

At this point, I watch the Pitch Meeting to gauge how much I want to actually watch a movie

At the end I was expecting:

"Wait, she can send superman places?"
"She sure can"
"So why doesn't she send him instead of the justice society?"
"Hey, shut up"

Black Adam was definitely one of those movies where the story was written in a way that the movie could keep happening.

"A bad plan is better than no plan at all, " is the entire blueprint for the DCEU.

“We’re at a point in the movie where something like that should probably happen” - best description of character motivation in current day films 😂

[Inspadave]

"How are we going to show he's not a hero?"
"He's going to say it CONSTANTLY!"

Nail on the head moment with that criticism.

My favorite thing about Black Adam is how they literally had a scene where he flew to a different country simply to fill the Rock’s contract obligation to appear in a jungle

"They're good at gang stuff, not...creative writing." What I appreciate about Ryan is how much he can say with so little.

Man, what an emotional pitch meeting this one was. I laughed, I cried, but most of all, I cried.

[zakunick]

My favorite part of the movie was when The Rock says that his powers aren’t a gift, but a curse. I bet a lot of movies will use that fresh new take from now on.

He was perfectly on board with a movie staring one of his rocks. He really will Greenlight anything this man pitches him.

[MasterBruce]

"Their aircraft identifies demons by name?"
"Yeah, sure, okay... so ...."

Aboslutely a gem of a line. Well played.

[patroka]

I swear, this formula and style of jokes really ought to have gotten old by now, but your delivery and comedic timing is so good that it is still excellent, even after however many Pitch Meetings it has been.

I remember hearing about The Rock doing a Black Adam movie when I was a freshman in high school. I'm 26 now and this movie definitely feels like it was written more than a decade ago

[j.kidder]

“It feels like the Justice Society is going to need his help immediately…”
“But then the Justice Society need his help immediately!”
“OH MY GOD!”

[shaunthefriendlylesbian]

"And then we are going to reveal Henry Cavill as Superman"
"Wow wow wow... Wow"
"But then a few months later we're going to announce that he's no longer Superman and he has no place in our new DC Universe"

[sixthjayhawk]

I think it’d be hilarious if you did an old-timey black and white pitch meeting for Casablanca or some other classic. Have your characters wear fedoras and chain-smoke the whole video! 😂

[somethingsuperbland]

I absolutely adore when Ryan really lets his aggression or hatred towards a movie out

[approverman]

I love how Ryan just mentioned his "It's the 90's" sketches while doing a Pitch meeting. Doing references of your work is tight!

One thing I found unbelievable was despite the numerous times he broke through the wall like the Kool-Aid man, the mom never once gets upset or tells him to stop destroying her home. Even when he was fighting with Hawkman and smashing into furniture and ruining her son's room, she was just standing there like "this is fine."
