SPOILERS if you haven't seen this week's episode obviously
We start off the episode with this shot of Superman with the drawn on glasses. A good homage to what Lois did in the 1980 Superman II movie...
where she not only drew the glasses but also a full suit and hat on a picture of Superman.
Next we see Jimmy waking up and seeing someone debunking his conspiracy theories on Sub-Diego.
Sub Diego was an actual place in the DC universe before the New 52 reboot. In Aquaman #15 and #16 (2003) , shown here (W: Will Pfeifer, P: Patrick Gleason, I: Christian Alamy, C: Nathan Eyring, L: Jared K. Fletcher for issue 15, Nick Napolitano for issue 16). The underwater city is actually San Diego, but is buried underwater thanks to a tidal wave and makes its first appearance in Aquaman #15 (2003). There was a lot of casualties from this.
When we get to our title its "You Will Believe A Man Can Lie" a reference to the tagline for the 1978 Superman movie.
As seen here on the poster, it says "You'll believe a man can fly".
Next we see our villain, well one of the villains, for the episode, Heatwave.
In the comics Heatwave makes his first appearance in Flash 140 (1963) (cover art by Carmine Infantino, Murphy Anderson, and Ira Schnapp). Heatwave aka Mick Rory is a Flash rogue usually acting as a rival to Captain Cold aka Leonard Snart. In MAwS, their Heatwave shares the same last name and powers, but MAwS Heatwave is gender flipped. You might have seen Heatwave in the CW DC comics shows where he is played by Dominic Purcell in The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.
Lois, later in the episode, name drops Heatwave's name.
Gotta be honest when Heatwave showed up I was like is that Rampage? Cuz the MAwS design looks vaguely like Rampage.
If she does show up in MAwS, I'll talk more about her in another post, but for now, Rampage aka Karen Lou "Kitty" Faulkner, makes her first appearance in Superman #7 (1987) (full page here: W&P: John Byrne, I: Karl Kesel, C: Tom Ziuko, L: John Costanza).
Steve drags Jimmy to film his debunking Flamebird videos and references Starro who I talked about here.
Lois, later runs around with the Daily Planet police scanner trying to catch Superman and the dispatcher reports that a robbery is in progress at McGuinness Luxe Garage.
This is a nice reference to Ed McGuinness who was the artist for Superman, Action Comics, and Superman/Batman in the early 2000s. If you've seen Superman/Batman: Public Enemies, then you'll know the movie takes inspiration from his character designs in the first arc of the Superman/Batman comic series. The Superman/Batman #1 (2003) cover here is done by Ed McGuinness, Dexter Vines, and Dave Stewart. I like Ed McGuinness's pencils, very stylized.
Heatwave name drops Livewire and the Gazzo mod family. Both of whom I've talked about here and here respectively
Heatwave has been running away from Deathstroke here who has been taking our her crew. Notice that Slade Wilson doesn't have the half black half orange helmet yet that almost every Deathstroke depiction always has.
He, Amanda Waller, and the General who I totally think is General Sam Lane, Lois's dad, are fans of DBZ cuz of the scouters they're wearing.
Later in the scene we see the General again he's totally General Sam Lane. I'll talk more about him when we get a double confirmation through a name drop/reveal in a later post calling Amanda Waller, Mandy. What a fucking bold thing to say to Waller! Like damn! power move right there!
Superman and Deathstroke are fighting under a highway and we see the traffic is heading to Bludhaven!
Very good reference to my favorite character in all of pop culture, Dick Grayson aka Nightwing. Nightwing makes Bludhaven his city to protect. The city makes its first appearance in Nightwing #1 (1996) (the panel here - W: Chuck Dixon, P: Scott McDaniel, I: Karl Story, C: Roberta Tewes, L: John Costanza). Fun Bludhaven fact, its crime rate is WORST than Gotham! Also HIGHLY recommend reading the new Nightwing run cuz its fucking amazing! Won a few Eisner Awards (think the Oscars but for comic books) recently and I am not just saying that because I am a Dick Grayson fan.
Near the end of the episode, we see Lois willing to jump off a building to prove that Clark is Superman. A lot of discourse was happening online over this, but I do want to say this is pretty on brand for her to do.
In Superman II, Lois does something similar and Clark saves her. its just in MAwS, Clark flies to save her thus ruining the secret identity, while in Superman II, Clark does save her but he is still able to get away with it thanks to him playing it more subtly.
Don't know why people we're in such a fucking fit over something that Lois has done before.
In the after credits scene, Jimmy, who planned a sasquatch finding adventure with Lois and Clark, but they were dealing with their shit and Jimmy was by himself, decides to do the finding on his own and meets a giant gorilla. In the first episode Jimmy mentions an intelligent gorilla in France and my guess is this is Monsieur Mallah. You can read more about him here.

I’ve been watching lots of interviews with Tenoch Huerta and I just feel so happy hearing him use his own accent when speaking in English. It might seem a bit silly and unimportant but to me it means everything.
Since I was little, while I was learning to speak English as a second language, I was always taught that I should use the British variety and accent because it was the ‘correct’ one. Whenever I used my own accent, I was reprimanded and told that no native English speaker would understand me if I spoke like that. This led to endless hours of practicing and feeling angry and ashamed of myself because I couldn’t pronounce certain words in the ‘right’ way. Thus, when I finally spoke to a native English speaker, I felt extremely self-conscious and insecure of the way I spoke a language that I had been studying for almost half of my life.
So, seeing actors like him (and also Diego Luna) being part of huge franchises and using their own accent and actually being proud of it means the whole world to me. It makes me feel less self-conscious and scared of speaking English. It is so unrealistic that we are expected to speak the same way a native English speaker does when we are not native English speakers. Why should I speak the same way an English person does if I’m not English? Why should I speak the same way an American person does if I’m not American?

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever trailer.
First, I want to say that watching the trailer, Chadwick Boseman’s absence in it was noticeable. It hurt knowing that he is not there and he should be there. My heart hurt, it was like getting the news all over again that he has died. And that trailer is a beautiful tribute to him. He truly missed.
Second, as a Mexican-American woman, can I just say that I am SO FUCKING excited to see my ancestors inspired culture showing up in the MCU? And having a lead Latino actor as a big character in the MCU?
I mean I was happy to have America Chavez showing up, speaking Spanish and being played by a Latina actor as well but...
An entire Mayan/Aztec civilization showing up in the MCU as part of the mythology of Atlantis?? Which is now a part of the MCU??? Y’all I’m like...
I feel seen! I feel my culture and history has been seen! I just hope that this will lead to include more and more Latinx characters and actors into the MCU in the future.
And you can be damn sure that I will be first in line to watch this film. I am ready for it. (I’m bringing tissues with me because I know I’m going to be sobbing.)

after rereading SBR, i can't stop thinking about diego (w/ scary monsters) riding his tail.
picture this: you're diego's ‘partner’ in the race, and after obtaining a lead against the other racers, the two of you decided to stop and rest; if not for yourselves, then for the horses. in the middle of your resting period, you wake up to what sounds like soft whimpering. you open one eye to see diego grinding against his tail, straddling it as if it were trying to wriggle out of his grasp. his face is flushed a bright red and his hands, despite the firm grip on his tail, were trembling—every once in a while he'd let out a breathless whine, maybe even curse a bit. diego probably let your name slip past his lips a few times.
