I’m impressed. This show is getting better and better. Yes there’s no ultimate baddy yet but I’m glad they are taking the time to slowly develop the major players.
The one incel son still works on my nerves though but maybe that’s just me.
The ‘Flash’ chase sequence at the top of the episode was very well done too.
Superman vs police force was very well done.
shareI just got done watching episode 7 (after missing it on Tuesday because its hard getting back into Superman & Lois' regular schedule time after the long hiatus)
This episode kicked the Snyderverse's butt SO HARD that Hack Snyder is gonna be sore for a month!
Two brilliant moments really stood out for me:
1) Superman in General Luthor's alternate earth being a thinly veiled swipe at the Snyderverse Superman, right down to the episode being named "Man of Steel" and THAT Superman's reckless disregard for human life unintentionally making him the clear cut villain in THAT world, as THAT Superman is clearly ALL about destruction porn. Sound familiar? Kinda like Nolan/Snyder/Goyer's "vision" for how a "modern" Superman should be depicted? HMMMMM!
2) The reveal that "General Luthor's" true identity is..... [WARNING: SPOILER ALERT AHEAD] John Henry Irons from an alternate earth! YES! MIND BLOWN. That was a perfectly logical way to solve the character's identity that I NEVER saw coming, even though it was obvious from the start. (again, even being a play on the episode's title, "Man of Steel". Makes sense because Steel has always been a substitute Superman, and you could see him going off the rails and taking matters into his own hands if the "Superman" he encountered was a mass murdering psychopath) AND, a HUGE slapdown at the Snyderites who kept sneering about Superman & Lois was somehow secretly "going woke" and cited the supposed "Race swapping" of Lex Luthor (hypocritically, they were fine and dandy with race swapping Perry White in the Snyderverse, BTW) as "proof" of it. Well, guess what Snyderites, he AIN'T Lex Luthor after all, his real identity is John Henry Irons, and John Henry Irons in the comic book source material has ALWAYS been a black guy. Game over, YOU LOSE! Good day, sir. :-)
I can't wait for more Superman & Lois, it just keeps handing Hack Snyder his @$$!
I like the way they handled the emotional story in this episode 8. I really felt Lois pain about the miscarriage.
Brilliant writing and good action again for a tv episode.
Episode 10 is great as well. These writers should be the only people writing for Superman.
