#Lois looks like Luz

Best of 2023 TV Shows #20: My Adventures with Superman (ADULT SWIM)*

Cartoon Network for all intents and purposes ceased to be this year.

With Adult Swim now controlling 53% of airtime anything that would have normally premiered on the CN half, now becomes a part of the lineup.

Though like the Checkered Past lineup this delves in to a familiar archetype.

The Superman Mythos. As well As our second nominee for the year’s best new show.

With this iteration we see the golden trio of Clark, Lois and Jimmy now nearly the same age as they would begin to rise up in the Daily Planet.

All the while an event known as Zero day looms for Clark.

The mythos of the man of steel is long and storied, what is nice here is how simple this boils down to.

Clark seems less sure of himself and how to separate his day to day and Superman Personas.

Jimmy while being a fan of alien conspiracy theories is Clark’s near right hand as they live together in Metropolis.

While Lois.

Looks Like Luz!

Simplicity can make any show a winner and when it’s done with something like this.

It’s certainly worth doing a lap around the earth in orbit while doing a 4th wall breaking smile.

SUM 22: The Superman Mythos gets its newest and most simple iteration yet as young Clark, Lois and Jimmy rise up the DP Ranks.

[childofaura]

Ok... I swore to myself I wasn't gonna make another negative MAWS post, that I was just gonna leave it at the Twink Slade disappointment post.

But apparently there's this trend that's been happening on Twitter, where people are trying to bring up the 2004 "The Batman" designs to try and defend the designs of the MAWS rogue gallery. And that was the territory I CANNOT let go, as someone who is a fan of Jeff Matsuda and his character designs.

SO FIRST, LET ME CLARIFY: I'm simply making ONE post about ONE factor of MAWS that irritates me. I'm not here to just sit and constantly bash on the show. I wouldn't do that, I have a personal close friend of mine who enjoys the show and I'm happy for her and I want her to enjoy the show. I have SO many gripes and reservations but I recognize those are personal.

I'll be putting this under a Read More and tagging it as Anti-MAWS so MAWS fans don't have to read/deal with this post. Probably just don't read my tags as well.

So if there's one thing that has irked me the most about MAWS, it's the redesigns and rewrites of Supes' rogue galleries. Mostly the redesigns though. MAWS took a bunch of colorful, diverse, and fantastical designs and made them monotonous, bland, and simply not fun at all. And yes, while the in-universe explanation (Being that they're all mechanically enhanced rather than freak accidents or born that way) makes sense, it still makes the villains incredibly un-appealing. EVERYONE is in boring black, white, and gray armor (aside from Parasite and while I think his physical design is neat I have issues with his character rewrite too, I'm just not here to discuss that). Everyone who had incredibly fun or creative designs was horribly washed out. Silver Banshee went from being a literal ghostly wraith to a boring motorcycle-looking chick. Livewire went from a vibrant blue lightning motif (that SHE herself created) to boring merc armor. And yes, I have issues with Slade's armor, the head was promising but the overall design has color-balancing issues.

Now let's look at the redesigns of the rogue gallery for the 2004 "The Batman" show. These are mostly drastically different from their original design counterparts, just like MAWS. But the massive difference is that most of these designs are still colorful (where it applies, obviously not to Penguin), recognizable, and push the borders of imagination; They're so ludicrous and exaggerated in their design and their physical features. Even if I was disappointed in some of the character rewrites (Like Mr. Freeze having only a small cameo to Nora in the flashback, but mainly being another selfish thug), the designs are still great. You can look at The Batman villain designs and easily recognize them because they follow the basic structure of their original designs.

Joker:

Is still in his green, purple, and orange color palette, with his trademark freakish grin. The design takes creative liberties with the spiked hair, the more athletic physique, and the actual clothing style of his outfit, but this is clearly meant to be Joker.

Mr. Freeze:

Is now essentially a cryomancer thanks to his mutation, but this is still obviously Mr. Freeze. Some kind of helmet (in this case encased in his own ice) wearing a thermal freeze suit, and his red eyes invoking the red goggles he wore in his original iteration.

Catwoman:

The design exaggerates a lot of features of the OG outfit, like the ears and the goggles (though the OG design really just has eye spaces), and uses shades of crimson and purple, but you look at the black bodysuit and the whip around her waist and she can clearly be identified.

The main argument I'm making with the 2004 Batman designs is that they're A) recognizable to their original counterparts by invoking the same color scheme and basic design points, B) Colorful and pushing the lunacy of a world full of supervillains, and C) Completely stand out from each other, no two villains look as though they're of similar origins (besides obvious pairs like Joker/Harley Quinn and the two Clayfaces, the latter which was a guy who took concentrated serum made from Ethan Bennett's Clayface DNA). The Batman designs are good because while they ARE drastically different from their original counterparts, they honor the original designs.

Whereas in the MAWS redesigns, none of the redesigns are reminiscent of their original counterparts (besides the obvious Brain and Monsieur Mallah, kind of hard to fuck that up), and lack the fantastical element that The Batman redesigns (And the original Superman show, where it applies) had.

Livewire:

Looks nothing like her original counterpart. The armored clothes, the lack of lightning motif, lack of color to her outfit (I'm not here to talk about the race-swapping), none of it is supposed to tip you off to being Livewire, especially when her character is written so drastically different. You should be able to tell who Livewire is BEFORE you see her powers.

When OG Livewire looks like this:

Silver Banshee:

Is just a regular human in drab clothing. There's some kind of attempt to give her the hint of a ghost motif with the bone legs, but then that disappears in her later costume design. Same later costume that tries to half-ass a skull motif on the helmet but it doesn't work with the helmet's angles.

When this is Silver Banshee's original design (going with a still from Batman Unlimited)

And if they wanted to stray from the whole "supernatural" aspect, they could have compromised like they did in Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay:

Which I mean I still don't like that redesign as much as Silver Banshee's OG design, but it's still recognizable and it's still cool.

The bottom line is basically this: You don't have to justify liking this new Superman show and its take on new characters. But to try and say the character designs on MAWS are like the 2004 "The Batman" cartoon redesigns is such an unequal and imbalanced comparison. The thought process for the character designs in these shows are so drastically different from each other, and the execution of said character designs aren't comparable.

#discourse #Anti MAWS #Anti My Adventures with Superman #Listen I'm not saying any other gripes publicly about the show; Again I have an irl friend who watches it #and I'm absolutely not about to drag her down or just rag on the show; so I get it #But if there is one thing that can really make or break something for me it's character design #And the one thing I'll openly criticize MAWS for is how basic their character design process seems to be #The showrunners FROM THEIR OWN MOUTHS said that they purposely made Lois look like Luz from Owl House #So there is NOT a lot of creative thought process going into these redesigns #And to compare that to Jeff Matsuda who is an industry veteran and who's worked on MANY shows with incredibly kick-ass designs #Well that is a stick in my craw that I can't let slide #'BUT AURA DON'T YOU LIKE THE 3D HE-MAN SHOW AND THEIR DESIGNS?!' #Yes I do but A) I'm not out here claiming that they're faithful designs to the original characters (Because Duncan and Teela clearly aren't #B) Nor are they badly designed characters that I'm trying to compare to a whole different level of character design #The Batman 2004 show was an incredibly fun show that captured the dark and melancholy nature of Batman; and the villain designs were fun #MAWS isn't on the same level as The Batman

[edgepunk]

I'm not a big DC fan but that new Superman animated show is such a treat

#t #the artstyle is so cute #but lois looks like a luz+lance fusion lol

[pineapplejayden]

Everyone is talking about how Lois looks like Luz or Lance.

But then my ass is sitting in front of the screen and all I can see is this:

#the amount of childhood chrush backlash I SWEAR #it’s the glasses #and the combination of being smart AND a total himbo for your girl #my adventures with superman #detective conan #clark kent #lois lane #conan edogawa #kudo shinichi #dc #dc comics #superman #dcu #dc universe #maws #animation #toonami

[glacecakes]

The way that Lois Lane looks like Luz Noceda cosplaying as Lance Voltron is genuinely haunting me

#my adventures with superman #superman #lois lane #the owl house #voltron #sighs

[flowergirlmiwa]

I am honestly really attracted to the anime Lois Lane that looks like adult Luz from TOH. I need to see her being intimate with women

#my post #my adventures with superman

[weedle-testaburger]

'lex, lex luthor. your new head scientist'

considering lois in maws looks kinda like luz, it's quite fitting that lex in maws looks kinda like pidge from v-slur

#personal crap #my adventures with superman #maws spoilers #maws season 2 #and no i will never stop calling vld 'v-slur' it's what it deserves

Best of 2023 TV Shows #18: The Owl House (Disney)

For many the surprise reduction of The Owl House was one of the biggest disappointments of the year.

2 seasons in and the story of Luz Noceda finding her new purpose in the boiling isles under the tutelage of Eda and King while gaining friends in Willow and Gus as well as a girlfriend in Amity made for some groundbreaking and compelling tv.

So it is fitting that the 3 episodes that compose season 3 finish out Luzs journey with a worthwhile finale as she faces off against Belos.

As well as reuniting with her mom while showing her own growth.

It may have been truncated, but we did get a nice finish.

SUM 22: Luz and her friends along with Eda and King face off against Belos for the fate of the Boiling Isles. Hoot hoot.

My proof that MAwS Lois Lane and Luz Noceda could canonically be the same person!

(Spoilers for My Adventures with Superman)

Sorry for the click-baitey title, but I really think there’s something here.

So in the most recent episode of MAwS, episode 7 Kiss Kiss Fall in Portal, Lois gets abducted by The League of Lois Lanes, a group made up of other Lois’s that was founded by Lois Prime; the first Lois to discover the multiverse. Members of this elite force are Lois, Lois, and Louis.

Later on, Lois looks through the multiversal archives and sees there are other Lois’ that are more successful than her. She sees Lois’ from all eras of animation and comic books, each different ethnicities and animation styles compared to her. One Lois actually looks an awful lot like Sora from Kingdom Hearts, keyblade and cropped zipper jacket to complete the look.

My theory/head cannon is that Luz is just another multiversal variant of Lois, one who instead of meeting Superman went to the Boiling Isles and met witches and demons. After all, like Louis, Luz is a name close enough to Lois that she could be considered a variant of Lois that was Dominican/Puerto Rican instead of Korean like MAwS’s Lois is. Now you’re probably thinking “this is a bit of a stretch,” but there’s another reason why this came to mind.

This episode we are introduced to the show’s Mr. Mxyzptlk, a self-proclaimed chaos god with the ability to warp reality and wield magic. He’s “just a little guy” who wears purple robes, has pointed ears, and enjoys sowing chaos for fun. Sound familiar? It should, bc that’s basically the description of our favorite space cherub, The Collector.

And before anyone says “Lois can’t be Luz!What about Lumity?” To that I say TOH is a universe where Lois never met Clark. Luz is bisexual, so I’m a world where she never meets Amity, I’m certain she’d fall for the hunky alien with a heart of gold and the ability to fly.

What are your thoughts?

Tell me more about the way the new superman show portrays Lois and her heritage, Starry.

thank u for sending me this ask so i can go insane. also disclaimer: i am korean american but i was raised by white ppl so i cant be an entirely accurate source! slappin a read more on this bc oh boy. i say words

so just in the first 4 episodes i think they do a spectacular job of making her heritage subtle yet noticable. in the first episode she does the lil heart hands thing, which is the way i've seen kpop idols do it but my brother told me its just kinda the korean equiv of heart hands

and then in the 4th episode she wears a jeogori, which is the top of a hanbok (korean traditional wear)

(image taken from the 'jeogori' wikipedia page)

i also wanna note the little top shes wearing under her jacket looks like a traditional viet top (source: my friend who is viet) so double slay

and then beyond that, i really like the way she's designed visually. she doesn't fall under the classic tropes and stereotypes that most animation companies do when designing east asians. she isn't pale (which is a colorism issue, i actually have the same skin color as her), she doesn't have long flowing black hair or on the flip side she doesn't have a purple streak or anything, and she isn't drawn with stereotypical slits for eyes. she's just a normal korean-american woman!!! she's also voiced by a korean, which is super nice to see! i know people joke about her looking and sounding like luz but, yknow.

and then in episode 4 she goes to this fancy high-rise party where she isn't taken seriously and is even insulted on her mannerisms and looks. she's the only woman there wearing something that isn't 1. a dress and 2. western-styled. so they're ostrasizing her based on her heritage as well as her class, though it's interesting that all the women ivo points to as 'classy women' are woc so it is more abt classism. jimmy, a black man, gets disrespected as a photographer and people ignore lois entirely even though some people are willing to speak to clark, who is white. its subtle but like ive been there. she also strays away from the model minority myth--she refuses to take the safe route.i think its a rlly nice and subtle way to show classism and racism without it like, just telling you. i could go on forever abt clark being a jewish immigrant adoptee too he's part of the group even tho he's white (passing). i like the way the show kinda plays around with "but hes not like us/hes dangerous!" no matter how nice he is-- its the same model minority stuff nimona touched on with no matter how nice you are people will still see your worst. but i digress

and just generally abt how they portray lois: i really like her!!! bc it's a younger version of her (superman origin story), it makes sense that she's super spunky and peppy since she's an intern rn. but she's still the kind of woman who runs headfirst into danger without thinking. i like that her character is 'i hate being lied to' because of her past with her dad which then in turn makes her a super nosy reporter who wants the truth. cant wait 2 see what happens next week now that she figured out clark is superman

#asks #my adventures with superman #this show is super cute i dont rlly care how accurate or inaccurate it is to lore so far #ik the futuristic tech is just kinda the way this animation studio works #its a show for the girlies!!! idc!!!! its shoujo!!! #maws spoilers #the best part of the new episode was lois's backless shirt <3 i love women #long post #SORRY I LOVE THIS SHOW RUNS ALONG THE WALLS

Gale's Thoughts: My Adventures with Superman

So I recently saw the first episode of the show, and my first impression was that I liked it a lot but something a miss. Then I rewatched it to get a better grasp of the characters. And I decided to give my thoughts on it.

Superman: Clark Kent. They nailed the Country boy from Kansas. The kind hearted and Naive Clark. The guy doing his best to blend in, sure. His adorable and dorky nature, nailed it. But that also is the problem, Clark kent isnt accidentally Clumsy, he is intentionally clumsy. He had YEARS of experience with his powers and your telling me he cant even keep his shoes from ripping? Like, its one thing if he's nervous, but Jimmy even points out they keep having their alarm clocks break, this is not an unusual thing. Thats my only pet peeve with it, aside from that he is pretty spot on. I am more forgiving of his superman persona not being there yet (he has yet to figure it out, thats fine).

Lois Lane: Its Luz from Owlhouse

Just make her slightly older, and change the artstyle and bam! Luz Lane.

I didnt realize it on first watch, but after the rewatch, its so blatant I cant ignore it. And its not only the looks, its the hyper active personality to! The not really getting what authority figures are telling her, the obsessive drive to chase what she wants to do, dragging others into her shenanigans, but mainly its her approach on how she gets information, a kids news paper route? I dont really buy it, I can see the argument that Lois would Leverage ANY and all connections she would have, but this just felt a bit ridiculous. Lois is a snarky all business girl that can banter and pursues her story, she can be flirty and be headstrong, the one thing she never is, is awkward. I cant envision this as young lois, Maybe future episodes help fix that but right now this is just Luz Lane.

3. This one is a nitpick but

Who approved this haircut? You want me to take this person seriously? Someone please alter it. It doesnt make her look cool or mysterious. It looks like her parents put a bowl on her head and then got lazy. Aside from that the character is fine, but I just cant stop laughing at their hairstyle.

4. Jimmy Olsen is fine, but if I had to

To be fair, he doesnt look that much like Gus, but he reminds me so much of him. Its not a nitpick because quite frankly Jimmy has always had different personalities depending on the medium, but I cant unsee gus after I realized how much Lois looked like Luz

I still find the show fun and I am willing to watch more later on, but I just noticed some things I cant unsee.

#my adventures with superman #gale's thoughts #superman #lois lane #clark kent

[mrawkweird]

Everyone brings up how Lois in this show looks like Luz from the Owl House but no one has brought up Ma Kent looks like an offshoot of Inko Midoriya

It's exactly the first thing I thought of. Also got these other Marthas out here looking like city girls.
