People are seriously complaining about Lois jumping off the roof to prove Clark is Superman? She's been doing that for decades! That's her go to move! Lois Lane has always been unhinged, that's what makes her great. Y'all are like 'give me a weirdo woman, give me a real freak", then a piece of media accurately portrays a CLASSIC weirdo and y'all call her toxic or whatever. It's called being dedicated to finding the truth and having no chill. Just admit you can only accept women (esp woc) being slightly spunky and awkward and will turn against them the second they get a little interesting and fucked up. If y'all can't appreciate that Lois is a freak, you don't deserve her. More for me.
(1x3) i love this show's portrayal of clark so, so much. i love how his sense of identity and where he comes from is such a massive theme - how he becomes superman in an attempt to better understand himself as a person, as well as satisfy his need to help people - but under all of that, the thing that matters most about clark is that he's a good person. it doesn't matter that he can fly or shoot lasers from his eyes - it matters that lois, within a day of meeting him, knows he would risk his job to help her if she just asked him to. it matters that he risked blowing his cover to save his friends. it matters that he only manages to discover new powers when somebody needs his help, never when they would be beneficial to him alone. rib him for being a boyscout all you like, but there's something so necessary imo about heroes who are wholly, unapologetically kind
I love that MAWS' answer to how has Clark kept him being an alien a secret is:
He hasn't! He's actually really terrible at lying due to being the good boy scout he is. Everyone else is either unobservant, not close enough to him to notice, or just being considerate of his feelings.
Okay, but this is probably mirroring EXACTLY what Jor-El's thoughts, actions, and purpose in sending Clark to Earth the first time was.
It all comes full circle. Once again, Kal-El is at risk of dying if he stays. Once again, Jor-El is forced to remain behind.
Once again, despite the fact that his son may never understand just how much his original family cared about him, it doesn't change the fact that all a dying father wants is for his son to live.
“If it weren’t for you, I’d still be making coffee dreaming of a chance to do more. You’ve changed my life for the better Lois, in every possible way.”
