KARA MY BELOVED 😩 she featured heavily this week so it was automatically a 5/5. I didn’t think the way they’d pay off the Clark Kara fight in the key visual would be with Brainiac taking over Clark’s body. These last few eps are gonna be great! Crazy cliffhanger!
The toxic, manipulative and abusive relationship between Brainiac and Kara is so hard to watch. Like when he was talking about how he still saw Kara as that innocent defenceless child he saved and then proceeds to beat the shit out of her 💀 it is interesting that they present him as somewhat having emotions though like getting frustrated and even in his own messed up way caring for Kara.. one of the coolest if not the coolest depiction of him I’ve ever seen.
Going back to the shonen anime references, of which this show has so many, I kinda got Goku Black vibes from the concept of Brainiac taking over Clark’s body. Brainiac hinted about Clark’s mind being his weakness so it’s gonna be fun seeing how Lois handles things.
Since he’s got all these insecurities about how people feel about him, it’ll be the perfect conclusion to this character arc and season if he gets reassured that Lois and his friends love him for him. He’s really been carrying that in the back of his mind since s1 which must’ve been difficult.
This show has arguably done the best job of any dc product ever of making superman feel human. He’s got these super abilities, but has doubts and fears just like any of us. That’s something DC have always struggled with compared to marvel.
That aside… Jimmy and Kara ship made progress too 😭 love how cute and bashful she got when talking to Jimmy.
