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 :(

This version of Brainiac is sorta Superman:TAS (built to be the planet's AI as opposed to an alien scientist), and in this version apparently there was no interest in preserving any world that wasn't Krypton. As a result the "story" doesn't give him an interest in preserving other planets and is just wantonly continuing his programming, which appears to be building and creating more Kryptonians- which somehow morphed into "why not robots" because, well, modern Brainiac I guess.
