.......hello 👀

MAWS liveblog: part 1 (1x01-1x02)

Episode 1

BABY BOY!!!!!!!! BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S MY SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

==

OH MY GOD SHUT UP HIS CLOCK IS A CHICKEN!!!!!! THAT'S SO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!

==

AND THEY WERE ROOMATES!!!!!!!!

==

MY WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

==

she's angry and also a vicki vale fan, i love her 😭

==

AND SO DOES HE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

==

YES HE'S BABY!!!!!!!!!!

==

hmm i like lois having a more established career at the point she meets clark, but i can work with this (sv!lois hadn't even graduated yet and she's my fav so)

==

he's so in love with her already, we love a man with taste

==

loving this dynamic already

==

everything is so ultra-tech-y, there's tablets with holograms, computers with stupid transparent screens, all weapons are laser

and yet, the newspaper is not only still printed but also delivered by kids

==

love the uncanny blue of clark's eyes

==

gotta admit, i'm not a fan of lois also being instantly into clark, i like when he's instantly into her but she's too career-focused to even pay him any attention, and is also a bit mean to him (but he likes it) (bonus points if there's a bit of a rivalry going on bc he keeps getting scoops and she can't figure out how)

==

now that's better >:3

==

omg captain america

==

what do these lasers even do, his clothes are intact????

==

this poor man experiencing pain for the first time in like 20 years probably

==

???????????????????

==

wait then whose tie was it??????

==

==

Episode 2

JUST HOW BIG IS THIS SHIP???????

==

OOOOOOOOOOOO SPOKEN KRYPTONIAN

now i REALLY want to know how they developed the language, bc i don't think it's ever been spoken before

==

NOOOOOOOO THE BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

==

isn't that the name of, like, that one kryptonian hero that was nightwing's sidekick or something?? (don't wanna google it in case there's maws spoilers)

wonder if it's gonna be a plot point or just a easter egg

==

wait i think the base for the spoken kryptonian was latin (which is a pity, i was hoping for hebrew)

==

i'm not saying i dislike this lois, but... she's a bit too quirky and immature... :/ i get that they're younger here than in most adaptations but i mean, smallville!lois was even younger and she's perfect

but it's ok, it's a children's cartoon, i can live with it.

==

oh my god they gave him a magical girl transformation

full disclosure: i'm not really into anime, so this does nothing to me except make me :/ that we're not getting the "baby blanket sewn by martha" version

==

ma'am the word you're looking for is definitely not shorts

==

the animation on this series is really not that good with expression tbh, like, the voice actors are going hard and the character is just =[]

i wasn't huge on the art style bc i thought it was too anime-like but one thing you definitely can't say about anime is that it's not expressive, so it's feeling like a lose/lose situation over here lol

==

i mean, come on

==

ugh, references to the classic superman theme always Get Me

==

wait, there's a regular bedroom but also a bunkbed in the living room? who designed this apartment????

==

ok the woman is probably amanda waller and the military guy is very likely general lane, but who tf is this tumblr sexyman-looking bitch supposed to be

==

ok, final impression? it's cute, it's fun, most of the issues i have with it can be answered with "it's a children's cartoon". i'm glad a new generation of kids is being given a new superman series, which is the important thing here (and i mean, the cartoon that got me into superman was fucking krypto the superdog, so). can't wait to get my little cousins and nephews into it!!

the biggest disappointment is probably lois and clois, tbh. she might even eventually develop into a more accurate version of the character, but the get-together that they're going with is definitely not how i'd prefer (and the early-on identity-porn era is my favourite for them, so it's double the :/). but it's ok, there's tons of other adaptations and comics out there that do show them that way (and more on the horizon! here's hoping 'superman: legacy' delivers, the casting is already amazing so 🤞🏻)

anyway, i'm gonna be going through the eps kinda slowly bc i'm pretty busy, so it's definitely not gonna be like my usual half-a-season-in-one-sitting liveblogs (god i miss having vacations)
