Season 2 of My Adventures with Superman!!!!!

Alright, first things first. I LOOOOOVE that its back!!! Now on to the bread of this post.

Overall, i really liked the first two episodes. It gives us a nice look on what to expect from this season going forward and as always art and animation is gorgeous. However, there were some aspects i wasn't so fond of.

Firstly the whole concept of Krypton being a civilization of world conquerors. Idk, it just felt too much like Invincible's Viltrum empire for me to be fully onboard with it. Like dont get me wrong, i can still get with it since Zod and his warriors kind of fit that theme, but it just feels a bit off to have that concept be for all of Krypton. Especially when you think about previous iterations and how it had them more as a Science Empire that fell due to their own hubris. Secondly how....whats the word im looking for....dismissive?...Just how dismissive Lois seemed towards Clark's feelings in regards to her dad and also how he was treating her but mainly to his feelings about finding his long lost Cousin. However, i say this with the acknowledgment that it seems lois doesnt realize that Clark and Kara are the (supposed) last of their kind. Either way, just tiny little knit picks that sorta rubbed me the wrong way a bit, but overall didnt get in the way of my enjoying the show.

Cant wait to see what's in store for Clark and the Gang

ai generated images make me increasingly sad and tired the more i see them in more and more casual contexts. i dont know how to explain, but it just fills the world with a bunch of nothing. no matter how visually stunning the pictures might be, there's nothing behind it for me. no dedication, no emotions, no feelings, no hard work or creativity, nothing i can truly think about, admire or enjoy. i dont think thats how art is supposed to be

i feel like not enough ppl are factoring in the cultural clash between laios and shuro and the many micro agressions shuro faced while being in their group. literally the name 'shuro' in itself is one

his name is toshiro 😭 lets also not forget that he has his own communication issues, in the opposite way that laios does- thats literally a factor in their argument, that his envy for laios's ability to express himself sincerely manifested as part of his distaste for him.

ig all this to say like, was their fight heart wrenching, especially when reading laios as autistic? absolutely. anybody whos ever been in laios's position knows how much it hurts to realize someone you thought was your friend doesnt actually like having you around, especially when they didnt tell you and you had no way of knowing due to not understanding their cues. but im begging yall to step back and see the nuance of this situation cause im gonna be real a lot of you are kinda just brushing over it acting like everything is toshiros fault and that hes a terrible person when in reality hes an average guy who really, really clashed with laios and it led to a very long misunderstanding due to their supremely opposite methods of communication. even laios and toshiro, after letting everything out in their fight, were able to come to an understanding and start a foundation for an actual friendship built on better communication

ok yknow what Edit: i shouldve made it even more explicit at the end of this post, i hadnt thought i would need to since i started the post with this, but i think a few too many people are missing my point so i just wanna clarify. i shouldnt have said 'really clashed' and left it at that because yeah they did, but it wasnt just their opposite methods of communication, it is also very much that toshiro was experiencing microaggressions via laios. it may have been unintentional on laios's part, but it still happened and wore him down, made it harder for him to communicate on top of both the more subtle social cues that he was raised with and his own communication difficulties. i also want to say that the fandom reaction to toshiro and the complete ignorance of this point is also racist tbh or at the very least ignorant. i understand that the anime did not cover this panel, and neither did the manga, as this was an omake, but im gonna be real with you guys. there are enough context clues within the story to clue you into this. if you didnt pick up on it thats ok, but i think this is a good lesson in picking up subtext in the stories that youre watching and/or reading. kui shouldnt have to explicitly say 'by the way laios was racist to toshiro' for this point to be understood, and at the very least, when the author portrays a character in a sympathetic light (as kui clearly does) it should make you question Why they are doing so and what makes them sympathetic, rather than youre immediate and only reaction to be 'well i hated what this guy did/said so i hate them and they suck'. idk exactly how to finish this, just. idk. question your biases and gut reactions to things you see in media and stories, and think about whether or not theres subtext that youre missing.
