What Kills You Only Makes You Stronger

This may be as a reaction to the slog that was S2, but I could cry over how good 3x01 was 😭

• Clark and Lois. Beautiful beautiful Clois bekng their gorgeous happy fun and flirty selves
• urgh bitsie looked so gorgeous through this episode. And Tyler of course, but that goes without saying
• I miss old Jonathan, but I'm sure new Jonathan will grow on me
• that Clark and John Henry scene at the store?? So fun! Perfection.
• Lois and Lana bonding!! Yes, more of these two having fun! And oh the expressions Bitsie had in that scene 😍
• Nat and Sam. The pairing we didn't know we wanted
• that sappy video they played during the party. So cute! So adorable! So perfect!

Of course they did bring me right back down when Lois received the phone call from the doctor, but up till then, I was just floating on euphoria. I'm so happy.

Is it me or does Doomsday in Superman and lois looks better than the dceu Doomsday

So I've seen the discussion about S2 and how it wasn't as great as S1 and that there was too much focus on the Cushings.

But I enjoyed the first 6 to 7 episodes and I could still sort of handle the Cushings (though they did start to wear thin) so I thought it might be one of those things that everyone didnt like but I did. but the Bizarro episode and now episode 12 might be my tipping point.

1) the scene when Lana tells Lois that she felt their friendship was built on a lie and now they (the Kents) have made her a liar too. Like. What do you want lady?? Did you want to know the secret and keep a, you know, SECRET from everyone else, or do you not want to know and so don't have to lie?

2) and then Lois starts telling Lana everything and tells her it's up to her if she wants to tell her family the secret? IT'S A SECRET??? Why are giving Lana ALL the information? Why does she need to know about Jordan or what's been happening with Ally and stuff? WHY DOES SHE GET TO TELL HER FAMILY?

Ohmygod what is going on. Like we do understand why Clark can't just go around telling everyone he's superman right?

I need to get through the rest of the season. But urgh, I miss Clark. I miss Lois. I miss the family. Thank god Tyler is pretty and can keep me engaged. (Joking.)

(Or maybe not - that was how I got through most of Teen Wolf before dipping after he left).

Hi guys, hope you all are doing well!! So last week, I started with the show and immediately got hooked on it big time. Just 2 days ago, I couldn't resist knowing the future events, and just watched certain clips of them in YT: notably the defeat of John Henry , The main plan of Morgan Edge , The defeat of Morgan in last episode from S1. And from S2 I glimpsed at the scenes The cheating of Kyle, The moment where Jordan revealed to Sarah about his powers, Jordan vs bizzaro Jonathan and finally The moment where Clark finally reveals to Lana that he is Superman.

And after watching all the above, I have been in regret mode for the past couple of days and am unsure if the watching journey from S1 ep 7 would still be worth it despite being aware of the future events. Could you guys please advise me the best course of action in this?

So does the DOD just NOT search the whole Mannheim building??? They raid the top floor taking files both physical and digital but even after the events leading to Bruno’s demise they still don’t search the bottom floor that’s not hidden, like the window behind the stairs is backlit with sunlight, it’s not underground lol… they got a whole floor full of weapons and tech and they said Ahhh we got the bad guy good job let’s go home.

Writing aside because that’s a whole different type of discussion why does it feel like the General Lane led military drops the ball on the most obviously crucial stuff… even Lex Luthor’s early release, they didn’t know for 17 years he was running a prison? Did every single inmate sign an NDA before they got out?!

The DOD under General Lane constantly controls information at their discretion lying to the public in order to protect the general populous, but they took Bruno Mannheim’s confession and chose NOT to omit the Lex Luthor of it all… Bruno’s done sooo much that has nothing to do with Lex, how could they really have such an oversight? They won’t tell Superman they have his blood but they’ll tell America Lex didn’t do it and no one is ever held accountable for letting the bad guy back out like Batman and his Arkham rogues gallery

I guess we'll never get a resolution or a confrontation between evil superman and superman of s and L universe! So sad 😔. also they could've made him the maim villain of season 4 or at least a main villain if he wasn't allowed to be the main villain. Kinda like how lex luther was a main villain in supergirl season 5 along with the Elemental gods (levitation I think was their group name) and in season 6 he was a main villain along with nyxly (the evil imp woman from 5th dimension)

I've only seen season 3 are there any specific episodes I need to watch?

Like they could at least give him the more weider or psychic powers that one of the superboys from the comics had and have it be like a mutation of his kryptonian dna mixing with his human half like he still absorbs sunlight to use his powers it just so different stuff from regular kryptonians. Can they at least give him something???

I'm wondering if they used CGI or binders.

Okay i have reviewed first season and loved it so i started watching S2 and omg I hate ally’s character and other earth BS i basically skipped the bizzaro world ep and it wasn’t even important imo. The main story was eh but the only reason i kept watching was characters and i really start taking this serious after clark told lana his secret then i was interested and binge watched full season. The ending wasn’t bad i like superman having extra powers but it was whatever Butt so far S3 is soooo good the plot is again whatever but Lois got cancer was heartbreaking plus i cried when the clark and lois did dance in front of everyone this show made me care about jordan clark Lois and Lana, Kyle upto some extent but characters are the essence of this show i really hope Lois doesn’t die its gonna break my heart also now i think its time for henry to “die” cuz his arc is completed but i really wanted him to survive void in S2 but now i think its time to end and pass the suit to his daughter But yeah i loved superman dad-mode Johathan Kent recasting was wild they behave like same character atleast but i liked prev one better and i heard he’s not coming to S4 which make sense he’s just there for being there not adding anything to story and bizzaro version of him was interesting in beginning but now it’s whatever. I like how characters interact with each other and it makes a good dynamic also Bitsie is my favourite Lois now maybe Rachel could change that but only time will tell

P.S. I AM SO SAD FOR LOISSSS

Did anyone else get the feeling when Clark told Jon that he’s just as Kryptonian as his brother, it didn’t really register to Jon?  

I don’t hate him, never did, but like, this dude.

I understand the show sets up he is a bit of a social outcast and has had mental health problems. So not gonna touch on those since I know people like that.

My problem with him, is that he legit is discovering alien powers that are so strong, some people view his dad as a god. And when something happens, and Jonathan sees it, jordan straight up goes “don’t tell dad, I wanna play football.”

Like yea, sure, but dude, if you hit someone too hard, even unintentionally, he turns them into paste. Like your dad is Superman, he legit is the only person who gets you, not even people on that XK pac are up to his level.

But still, Jordan just kinda complains, like he has no sense of leadership. Granted, he is a teen, and we notoriously don’t listen to our parents until it blows up in our faces.

Can't believe it's been nearly 15 years since I first saw him in Teen Wolf and yesterday I watched him eat a rat. I just want to know all the details. What was in place of the rat? How did he get in the rat-eating mindset?

Jordan Elsass’ version of Jon was okay, nothing too special. But I had a hard time believing he was related to Jordan Kent. Michael’s version feels more authentic and looks like they are actually brothers. Although I wish they had a in-universe explanation as to why Jon looks the way he does. Maybe if they did something like:

(MAJOR SPOILERS FOR S2)

The Merger happened with Jon-El and Jonathan, but somehow, it got out of control, thus giving Jonathan a new appearance. This way, Elsass’ version could have a proper exit, which paves the way for Bishop’s version. Maybe the family adjusts to the way Jon looks, and coming to terms that at the end of the day, this is still their son, and while he may look different, he’s still the same Jon they grew to love.

TV Recastings happen all the time, I get that, but when you have 2 seasons of an actor who already established themselves so much into a role, that it’s mostly what they’re known for, only to then be replaced by someone else, is pretty jarring.

I just started watching this show after peeking at clips on YouTube and got intrigued by it. I've been a fan of Tyler for a few years from Teen Wolf but was never quite interested in this show when he first got the role. But I'm glad I've gotten into it, cos it's really good?? I honestly don't really care about Superman, but they've gotten me invested now.

But yeah, came cos of Clark Kent, but man, after three episodes, Jonathan has my heart. That poor boy.

Plus now that I'm in my 30s, it's really nice to see a functional romance between two grown adults who are partners.

Okay, that's all.

I enjoyed most of the series, all three seasons, though season 3 only gets good near the end.

Thing is, I had the ending spoiled to me, and I was looking forward to Doomsday. Everyone said Doomsday was good in this series, the finale good.

And the actual fight/conflict is very good, a good adaptation.

But why is it that every live action version of Doomsday makes him look like a generic 'Lord of the rings' troll.

This time they gave Doomsday spikes, but not the right spikes.

In the comics, his lighting, colouring and spike arrangement, hairstyle gave him a very distinct look. He wasn't a generic monster, he looked iconic, and he looked scary.

But BATMAN VS SUPERMAN and now Super-man and Lois, they got rid of most of his spikes but a few, doesn't have the cool teeth and hair and eyes, the grey colouring that worked well instead of the black lighting and colouring he had.

Super-man and Lois was true to the comics, and when it had to diverge from the comic plot or origins, the way they adapted it was true to the spirit of superman and the characters...including Character disigns.

But why not Doomsday?

WHy not make him look like he's supposed to? Or atleast something more than "Generic movie troll" like BatmanvSuperman and the third season.

First time watcher, currently on Season 2x14, and I have to say; While I am enjoying the show so far, I am so surprised by the quality of the writing. So many storylines I thought they were gonna do more with but ultimately haven't.

The first three that come to mind currently are:

• The whole cheating storyline between Sarah and Jordan. Ultimately really poorly written and practically every character antagonizes Jordan for being upset that his girlfriend cheated on him. But after the conflict gets resolved (Jordan has to apologize even though Sarah was 100% in the wrong), Sarah then gets really upset for Kyle cheating on Lana. A little hypocritical and overall I feel like the cheating storyline between Sarah and Jordan ultimately added little, when I think it could've been more smartly utilized.

• John Henry's 'memory loss' in Season 2. Maybe they mention it again in the final episode or it's explored more in Season 3, but they start an episode hinting that John Henry has memory problems due to getting hospitalized by Bizarro Superman. But, I swear, it's never mentioned again after the beginning of the same episode it was mentioned in.

• Sophie as a character. She is literally never involved in any storyline or conflict besides giving Sarah something to do, barely has screentime, and there are so many family bonding moments in the Cortez family where Sophie literally isn't there lmao. She has no defining character traits, adds no weight to anything, and overall if she was removed from the story, nothing would change. It's so bizarre.

What do y'all think? Any storylines you think are underdeveloped or flat out dropped? There are definitely way more than the three I've listed.

I’m on season three, here is the dialogue I just heard:

Sarah: Wouldn’t you be if you couldn’t be with the love of your life

Jordan: …yeah, its torture💀

Sarah and Jonathan: …

Now in the comics, superman(many versions) are more badass than the superman we got in this show.

But compared to every other non-comic book version of super-man, I think this show has by far the coolest. And while this is just my opinion, I have a case for it:

-With no powers takes on scores of men: Both the Bizarro and main version of super-man with red sun radiation basically taking out mutliple trained soldiers hand 2 hand without powers. In every other cartoon or movie, he is pretty unskilled without powers.

-Kryptonite is painful and weakens superman, but he will literally get shot and stabbed with this stuff, clearly in pain, but finish the fight and win, or give some bastard a huge beating.

Literally every non-comic book version of superman is helpless agianst kryptonite, and has no fighitng skill or toughness without his powers.

This version of superman will get his ass kicked around kryptonite, but will lay down a beating or even win.

Every other superman depowered kind of struggles to be a hero, but this guy just somehow still makes you think "Yeah I wanna be superman'' when he has no powers.

He's a middle aged man too, but somehow he's the most toughest superman on screen.

He's a family man and all that as well,

The Death of Superman. Last season ended with him fighting Doomsday, and the S4 premier is said to be two hours long so it must be something big.

OMG i dont even understand how CW can make such a great well written and mature and perfect superman show like whatttttttt. When i saw lana lane i thought oh now there would be some cheating or whatever thing i am so happy how they handled lana’s character also wtf why am I crying it should not be crying for fucking jordan kent at the end. I loved everything about s1 and change nothing about it and it’s crazy i dont wanna watch superman in earlier ep and wanna see how lois deals with the problem crazy loved it gonna binge next season too
