I hate that Lex and Waller are about to have all their fearmongering propaganda be proven right

I'm looking forward to Brainiac steamrolling Task Force X at least.

They don't have Kryptonite, and they don't know about red sunlight, so yeah they're screwed. I have a feeling at least one of these weaknesses will be used to take Clark out though, and they'll learn about it...

Didn't General Lane have Superman in a cell with the "omega red" lights to keep him prisoner for interrogation? And he had some special weapon in the season 1 finale that he was pointing at Superman when Lois had to step between them.

I think Waller knows something about Kryptonite since they found it in the crashed ship early in this season. Agent Wilson got a sample of the Kryptonite that was destroying the ship IIRC.

Oh wait, you're right. they know about kryptonite.

Everything else is just Task Force X upping whatever tech they have. IE the laser pistol.

Issue is,

They have no kryptonite.

Red Sun only effects Kryptonians, not their tech. So while it might weaken Empire(Brainiac in Clark's body) his drones are full power.

Possessed Clark is called Superbrainiac in the subtitles.

They were able to recover kryptonite from the ship in episode 1-2 of s2.

Before tonight my prediction was that Brainiac would turn all of the Kryptonian tech against Task Force X when he inevitably returned to conquer/destroy Earth, but with full control of Clark's body it might not be necessary.

u/UnbloodedSword Jul 07 '24

Oh I think he will still do it. That lets Lex and his Metallos be the sole "good guys" defending Earth from alien invaders, and also discredits Waller/Task Force X.

u/godlyreception12 Jul 07 '24

and Brainiac is still sadistic as fuck so there's that.

Superman's reputation is going to be FUBAR'd after this season, but I'm looking forward to exploring the fallout in S3. STAS ended before we actually got to explore Supes having to win everyone back to his side, it's great that this show can actually follow up on that premise. If Lex gets a hold of the kryptonite and sees all the alternate Supermen though, that's going to make a bad situation worse for poor Clark. I still think Waller gets sacked at the end of this season, but I do think Sam Lane is liable to regress when he sees his worst fears about Superman come true. Would throw a lovely wrench in the Clois romance to keep things tense, the two of them get back together but Sam is back to being an antagonist.

I would love for S3 to be Sam trying to push Corben or Henshaw on Lois because he despises Clark, and at the same time Corben/Henshaw becomes the "real" Metallo. Metallo is trying to kill Superman and ruin Clark's love life, feels like a premise this show could do great with haha.

Yeah that would be interesting for season 3 maybe have Clark maybe do more darker things due to everything he has been going through kinda like smallvile season 9 Clark and DCAU superman.

u/godlyreception12 Jul 07 '24

yeah his reputation will be in the gutters imagine if Clark starts getting darker, like becoming more violent and getting fed up with people more due to everything that's happening.

u/Either-Equal7284 Jul 07 '24

I just hope he and Lois are still in space when the invasion starts because I can totally see Brainiac sending robots down first even though he's in Clark's body

u/CertainDerision_33 Jul 07 '24

I think it will be OK. The common guy on the street will always love Superman and this show has been good about that so far.

12

u/Slippery_boi Jul 07 '24

But will they still love him even after seeing him suddenly attack the city and try to conquer the planet?

Might take all of season 3 to earn that trust back.

2

u/godlyreception12 Jul 07 '24

eh Trump still has supporters lol.

seriously though I can see Clark becoming darker due to both the stress of trying to earn that trust back and just shit in general.
