[cockyroaches]

Ohhhh while on the topic of stas I think the best and worst episode of all time is Double Dose bc i fucking hate Livewire but love Rudy. So when she goes bow wow baby sit for me and I'll throw you a bone ;) I'm so glad he's always literally like

#fucking hole vaccine (hes aromantic) #he genuinely does not care and is not attracted to her in the slightest like she thinks hed be. he just wants to suck the life out of her #which is just fucking hilarious. he does not want you girl hes just fucking starving #we ignore the last thing he said to her ok bc its weird and creepy and doesnt fit what was happening between them at allllllll #bitch mantis #stas #rudy jones #woopsie hes also ace i guess for the context of this. he could be alloaro but i think he just legit doesnt care lol #he just wants to watch tv forreal

Double Dose

SuDanny is a moron. I can’t even remember what this episode is about, but he is a genuine insult to all blue collar workers everywhere.

Not that the security guard is any better...

Written by Hilary J. Bader. Wow, she’s written a lot these.

Directed by Yuichiro Yano

Oh yeah, it’s this episode. Man, Superman has the lamest villains.

I recall Livewire having more of an ass in her last episode. Is that just me?

We should have resurrected Jack Kirby to beat up the goons who invaded Washington.

Wow, that’s a really nineties’ version of a punk

Lois, you are a genius reporter. You’re also kind of a moron.

This episode has what you call the uncomfortable subtext

Superman, staring holes in your girlfriend is generally considered rude.

Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster

Animated by TMS

Mo’ Superman TAS, Mo’ Problems

SSeason 2

1-2: Blasts From The Past

Ugh... that’s the best title they could come up with for their season premiere?

One of the quirks of the DC Universe, in all its frequently crappy forms, is that in addition to there being seven Zods, there are about twenty evil Kryptonian characters that amount to being the Zod, Non, and Ursa from the Donner movies. This holds true as late as Supergirl, where Non, of all people, showed up as a Not!Zod. Here, Zod is Jax-Ur and Ursa/Faora is Mala (just to make things even more convoluted, this is the name of a male Kryptonian in the comics).

This arc has the novel twist that instead of a Phantom Zone criminal being released by misfortune, Superman realizes that Mala’s sentence is up and paroles her. Things quickly go amiss when she realizes he’s in love with Lois instead of her--given that Clark and Lois aren’t officially in a relationship, is it not a bit creepy that he chooses to obsess over her from afar instead of pursuing a relationship with an interested woman like Lana or, yeah, Mala? Maybe he heard about the gender-swapping thing and just isn’t into that. Mala releases her old CO, Jax-Ur, and they go at it.

3: The Promethean

Superman fights a kaiju.

4: Speed Demons

Wally West! Yes, it’s not Michael Rosenbaum, but still! And him being something of an obnoxious jerk here, but more of a sweetheart by the time of JL is actually in keeping with his comic book character arc. Man, it’s crazy how just... not obsessed with the Silver Age DC was at the time. The Flash and Green Lantern show up and they’re just Wally West and Kyle Rayner, that’s it. Kyle even gets the first human GL origin story instead of being a legacy hero. I don’t think DC would ever let one of their properties get away with that these days. And wasn’t ‘the Flash’ in Smallville actually Bart Allen? Jesus.

5: Livewire

Livewire was supposed to be the breakout character of Superman, the same way Harley Quinn was for Batman, but I think that actually turned out being Mercy Graves. Livewire just... she’s okay. The shock jock thing had to have been instantly dated and it’s hard to buy there being a rabid fanbase for an anti-Superman radio personality right smack dab in the middle of Metropolis. Plus, Lori Petty just isn’t as strong a performer as Arleen Sorkin. Her Livewire is just too one-note and even grating in comparison to Harley’s rich and well-rounded personality. What did Supergirl end up reinventing her as? Some kind of mean anti-feminist because women who make fun of other women are evil unless they’re Cat Grant? Ehhh. 

6: Identity Crisis

Bizarro shows up as a flawed clone of Superman, named by a somewhat OOC Mercy Grant. Also, your childhood is ruined as you realize that Bizarro was as smart and heroic as Superman for a good while, before suffering the equivalent of severe brain damage. Superman, stop, you’re beating up a disabled man!

7: Target

Lois Lane gets a stalker. Seriously, stalkers, of all the people you could stalk, Superman’s beau? The baddie in question is Edward Lytener, who naturally becomes the evil light-themed Luminus. By his second appearance, he was reduced to the Mysterio chic of creating ‘hard light’ holograms of pirate ships and Old West bars to fight Superman in, so no wonder this guy never made it to the comics.

8: Mxyzpixilated

Great episode. Mxy shows up to essentially be the Coyote to Superman’s Roadrunner, with Superman getting to be cold as shit in sending Mxy back within a minute basically every time they match wits. Good to see Big Blue getting his Sherlock on.

9: Action Figures

Metallo again. He has amnesia. It doesn’t last. Was Metallo the most common supervillain Superman faced, besides the technicality of Lex Luthor? He comes across like the Shocker to Superman’s 90s Spidey. 

10: Double Dose

Livewire again, and she teams up with Parasite. I wonder if they were trying to recreate the Joker/Harley relationship on some level. Basically, Parasite wants to fuck/rape Livewire, but she won’t let him unless he kills Superman. Cracked Presents: Top Five Times Your Childhood Was Raped And You Didn’t Even Know It.

11: Solar Power

That Luminus again. When will he ever learn? He doesn’t even care about Lois anymore, he just wants revenge against Superman, which kills any interest his character might’ve had.

12: Brave New Metropolis

Yes, even TAS did the ‘Lois dead = evil Superman’ story. Here, Superman teams up with Luthor despite knowing he was a scoundrel from literally day one, but at least Lex was lying to him about just how bad their dictatorship was, so Supes didn’t break that bad.

13: Monkey Fun

You ever think that if Superman were real, he’d be like “guys, can we quit obsessing over that time I fought a giant monkey? I have lots of other villains that I fight!” Now I demand that Titano appear on Supergirl. I want to see the writers try to turn him into a metaphor for the perils of online dating or something. Shut up and take my money!

14: Ghost In The Machine

Sort of a character episode for Mercy. Here, she was an orphan plucked from the streets rather than the Amazon she was implied to be in the comics, which is a seriously weird canon wrinkle that I think might’ve been entirely thrown down the memory hole. And that Brainiac is back, forcing Lex to build him a new body.
