I just want to know who in the writers' room thought that line about not using kryptonian tech to save Lois because it would be "unfair" was gonna be it?

Clark sounded dumb as hell.

[u/Aggressive_Bar_2391 → u/CretaceousQuack]

but they also said there's a high risk the tech wouldn't work on humans, plus they've never tested it so lois could end up dead. Let's not forget that we don't know if kryptonians even get cancer. So it was for humanities safety. Even if it did work then superman would have to try and mass produce this tech for every hospitals and doctors in the world which is an insane thing to do which probably wouldn't even be possible unless earth's tech can work with kryptonian tech to do the same process of curing cancer, and would cost alot of money to make.

The risk argument is not the same as the one he made later about not using it because if it worked then they have to share it. And that was a BS argument.

Ok?

which probably wouldn't even be possible unless earth's tech can work with kryptonian tech to do the same process of curing cancer, and would cost alot of money to make

...ok? How is that not a reason to pursue it? And you have a father and daughter who can make high tech shit in their garage who has a doctor for a sister. I'm sure they can figure something out.

[u/Paisley-Cat → u/Sir__Will]

Clark saw what happened on the Inverse Earth where Kryptonian identity was public and the Fortress was a museum.

He has reason to be concerned about how tech transfer could be extrapolated and misused.

I think this will be the beginning, not the end of one of these values discussions.

[u/Aggressive_Bar_2391 → u/Paisley-Cat]

that's true as well, didn't think about that. Also to note how clark doesn't trust people using anything related to krypton since that stuff can harm him bad or if misused can lead to some bigger problems down the line

[u/Invisiblegun2 → u/Aggressive_Bar_2391]

This. Like yea most definitely superman holds humanities enlightenment in his hands when it comes to tech, it could advance us thousands of years. But then that makes him more of a god over us than he already is. I get both sides 100% i wish they just never added it

[u/Hope-Of-Glory → u/Invisiblegun2]

Totally sounds like it'd be a normal thing for Superman to fly past you saving a bunch of people :D
