The thing with My Adventures with Superman is that every masc is a shoujo protagonist (complete with the cheesy but genuine dialogue) and every femme is the protagonist of a thriller webtoon (complete with the 80 levels of parental issues). The only example to this is Lex Luthor, who is slowly going from a subversive shonen protagonist to a typical seinen antagonist until he one day becomes Griffith mixed with Shinji's dad.
#I am so fucking tired#so this might make no sense#I say 'masc' and 'femme' because I headcanon this Kara to be some version of 'girl but not exclusively girl'#I have been thinking about how this Lex specifically is reminding me of Griffith in how his conviction would be empowering#if his beliefs weren't shitty and HE wasn't shitty#that's true for Luthor in general tbh but in this show it just feels more real. probably because we get to SEE him start from the bottom#in most other continuities we KNOW he did (and frankly it's my favorite way of writing his backstory) but it's different when we SEE it#and yeah both Clark and Jimmy are officially shoujo protagonists. they have been for a while but now Jimmy is at Clark's level#complete with having a badass girl fall in love with him because he's just kinda a cool dude and also he saved her that one time
