.......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)

MAG 4 IS A FUCKIN TRIP AND A HALF, Y’ALL
In ONE (1) episode we meet BOTH gerry keay (my beloved book burning old man beating goth son) and Mary Keay (bitchass evil book lady horrible mother burn her ass), AND we hear the story of Mike Crew (sexy sky king), A N D we are introduced to the Library of Jurgen Leitner (stupid idiot motherfucking jurgen leitner goddamn fool book collecting dust eating rat old-)
We also learn that mary is supposed to be DEAD and gerry is supposed to be the one who KILLED HER, but before we have a chance to process aNY of this information we get smacked out of left field by jonathan “most of the stories in the archives are bullshit drug trips” jarchivist sims immediately going “oh leitner? fuck that guy. for real, tho. gotta go tell elias that apparently his books are still floating around out there so that we can send every person who works for the magnus institute out and destroy them all. Dangerous evil books.”
AND T H E N before we can process THIS character development, jon proclaims that he would like to meet the weird goth dude who purportedly killed and skinned his own mother. Cuz one guy said that this dude burned a leitner one (1) time. No mention of the murder of the mother is made.
11/10 episode. No notes, Jonny.

==

army brat!lois 😁😍🥰🤩😝🤤🥳🙌✨
==
amazing
==
THE MONKEY IS MARRIED TO THE FLYING BRAIN IN A MECHANICAL BALL????? AND ALSO FRENCH?????????
AND HOW MANY TALKING MONKEYS DOES DC HAVE WTF
==
*avoids murder by being so mentally ill my kidnapper gets worried*
==
wait when did she find out he's an alien???? it's not public knowledge superman is an alien, did he tell her the details off-screen????
==
yeah, sure, go screaming about it in public
==
wait so he's human-like enough to (i presume) date a human but still hangs around pantless in public??
==
why is the dude's shirt halfway unbuttoned at work oh my god were they fucking?????
==
wait nvm the monkey is still pantless in present day, guess the shirt was just the 80s
==
yeah
==
i must mention that at no point in that story it was explained why the monkey is french
==
BITCH YOU CAN FLY
==
...or not
==
THE STORYBOARDER KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE DOING
==
ngl this is a 10/10 look
==
????????????????
==
hate how this series plays into the "oh superman's secret identity is so dumb, everyone can figure it out" thing, but we move
==
- mari gonzalez, 2020
==
yeah
==
ok, were the mad scientist french gorilla and his husband mad scientist german floating brain created for this series??? bc that's the only possible reason for me never having come across them, i'm 100% sure people would be talking
==
also your future father-in-law. good luck!
==
...current father-in-law?
==
CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME
==
ok so the collar here + all the "task force x" mentions through the episode pretty much confirm the disappearing villains are gonna become the suicide squad. definitely not what i would've guessed for a superman series, but could be interesting
