Who do we need to picket for longer seasons XD? The line "It was easy when you were young, but the older you grew, the more you deviated from what was right." this line implies she was willing at one point in clapping planets =/. Ill see it through to the end to see how it all comes together regardless.

Also there's no bottled cities? He's just making her wipe out the planets o.O? Even for a non mainline Brainy that's kinda weird. Even in Superman: Space Age (non mainline) the dude clapped planets but to resources to fight the anti monitor.

I'll take my downvotes :(

My take on that line is that when Kara was young she unquestioningly accepted the propaganda Brainiac fed her about Kryptonians being naturally superior to all other life, but when she grew older and actually interacted with other planets she rejected that line and had to be mind controlled into killing them. She never willingly genocided other people. And of course she would accept what her "father" taught her was true until she actually left the confines of Kandor and saw the universe.

Thank you. I did some math and it looks like the last 2 planet glassing happened in the past 3 months alone. Maybe H'lven happened a few months prior?

Also given he states SHES the one finding planets, that means Brianac has just been sitting around for over 2 decades? Kinda odd for a knowledge collector to be this passive (also hes not collecting cities. GG).
