absolutely losing it over the fact that both of the 2x04 commentary groups started talking about clex as soon as clark and lex were in the same room together

lex is the littlest guy in the world... lionel looks like eggman

[noblechaton]

That looks more like Zod than Braniac.

oh that's totally valid to think! and I can absolutely see it, what little we know does fit Zod's typical traits and it would work for an Evil Krypton sorta thing, but for me it's sorta down to two things as to why I think Brainiac - the faceplate thingy opening up in that weird way when they did a big ol' heat vision laser blast(?) that felt. overdramatic for a humanoid face lmao. and more importantly imo, the logo on the machines - and the one on the big bad, how it's just a plain triangle that's maybe raised up -

and I think they'd show his shield if it were Zod - Zod's crest has been different across adaptations iirc (snyderverse's had sort of a horseshoe/U shape? smallville had a funky Z etc.) so there wouldn't be much given away there for the more casual audience at least - it could look like anything, might even be just a fancy Z similar to the S on Clark (which would be reason to hide it ig. keep the surprise till the end. or maybe that IS the Zod logo here which uh. weird but it could work? eh?)

but also personally my theory all season long has been that Sam/etc. misunderstood the events of Zero Day in some way due to it being Brainiac's doing - with Brainiac being some creation on Krypton (ala TAS, iirc) that rose up and doomed the planet, then sought out other planets for the typical Brainiac reason of putting them in a bottle, and that misunderstanding can be more. well. understandable if Brainiac looked Kryptonian, if he looks somewhat like Supes - the cape, the build, the triangle on the chest, etc.

now don't get me wrong, again, super valid read on things and would make sense, Zod loves him a good conquest, typical Zod Stuff, totally works, and really I'd love it to be him because he might be my second favorite Superman antagonist at this point - really wished he'd shown up in S&L - but I feel this more a Brainiac thing given the machines and how indirect this has all been. and also Zod's been weirdly absent in Supes stuff since MoS for whatever reason

tho there is a chance that it might be Zod and Brainiac which would be kind of wild lmao. could work tho. also thank u for giving me an excuse to speculate on a show I love - I haven't done this out loud in a long time anon and I appreciate u

Damn they’re really speed-running the whole Lois/Clark/Superman dynamic in this show, huh?

Okay im watching smallville s3e1 and like okay this is the kind of plot point where everything's wayy too messy and convolutef for no reason which is usually the part where i quit shows but i actually like it! The mess makes sense and there are a lot of parallels to be drawn so its not as boring as i wouldve thought

Like, clark and lex.. they're both exiled, clark in a concrete jungle and lex in an actual jungle where they have to do uncharacteristic things to survive, except that clark is willing in his exile and lex is anything but. Also i love that clark is willingly putting on the ring that changes his personality, almost like a mask to smother his real, damaged and vulnerable side. Such an illuminating take!!! I love it. It scratches the storyteller itch in my brain

My toxic trait is that if I had a partner/friend with superhuman strength I'd still wanna do all the heavy lifting to show how strong I am

.......hello 👀

MAWS liveblog: part 1 (1x01-1x02)

Episode 1

BABY BOY!!!!!!!! BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S MY SON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

==

OH MY GOD SHUT UP HIS CLOCK IS A CHICKEN!!!!!! THAT'S SO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!

==

AND THEY WERE ROOMATES!!!!!!!!

==

MY WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

==

she's angry and also a vicki vale fan, i love her 😭

==

AND SO DOES HE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

==

YES HE'S BABY!!!!!!!!!!

==

hmm i like lois having a more established career at the point she meets clark, but i can work with this (sv!lois hadn't even graduated yet and she's my fav so)

==

he's so in love with her already, we love a man with taste

==

loving this dynamic already

==

everything is so ultra-tech-y, there's tablets with holograms, computers with stupid transparent screens, all weapons are laser

and yet, the newspaper is not only still printed but also delivered by kids

==

love the uncanny blue of clark's eyes

==

gotta admit, i'm not a fan of lois also being instantly into clark, i like when he's instantly into her but she's too career-focused to even pay him any attention, and is also a bit mean to him (but he likes it) (bonus points if there's a bit of a rivalry going on bc he keeps getting scoops and she can't figure out how)

==

now that's better >:3

==

omg captain america

==

what do these lasers even do, his clothes are intact????

==

this poor man experiencing pain for the first time in like 20 years probably

==

???????????????????

==

wait then whose tie was it??????

==

==

Episode 2

JUST HOW BIG IS THIS SHIP???????

==

OOOOOOOOOOOO SPOKEN KRYPTONIAN

now i REALLY want to know how they developed the language, bc i don't think it's ever been spoken before

==

NOOOOOOOO THE BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

==

isn't that the name of, like, that one kryptonian hero that was nightwing's sidekick or something?? (don't wanna google it in case there's maws spoilers)

wonder if it's gonna be a plot point or just a easter egg

==

wait i think the base for the spoken kryptonian was latin (which is a pity, i was hoping for hebrew)

==

i'm not saying i dislike this lois, but... she's a bit too quirky and immature... :/ i get that they're younger here than in most adaptations but i mean, smallville!lois was even younger and she's perfect

but it's ok, it's a children's cartoon, i can live with it.

==

oh my god they gave him a magical girl transformation

full disclosure: i'm not really into anime, so this does nothing to me except make me :/ that we're not getting the "baby blanket sewn by martha" version

==

ma'am the word you're looking for is definitely not shorts

==

the animation on this series is really not that good with expression tbh, like, the voice actors are going hard and the character is just =[]

i wasn't huge on the art style bc i thought it was too anime-like but one thing you definitely can't say about anime is that it's not expressive, so it's feeling like a lose/lose situation over here lol

==

i mean, come on

==

ugh, references to the classic superman theme always Get Me

==

wait, there's a regular bedroom but also a bunkbed in the living room? who designed this apartment????

==

ok the woman is probably amanda waller and the military guy is very likely general lane, but who tf is this tumblr sexyman-looking bitch supposed to be

==

ok, final impression? it's cute, it's fun, most of the issues i have with it can be answered with "it's a children's cartoon". i'm glad a new generation of kids is being given a new superman series, which is the important thing here (and i mean, the cartoon that got me into superman was fucking krypto the superdog, so). can't wait to get my little cousins and nephews into it!!

the biggest disappointment is probably lois and clois, tbh. she might even eventually develop into a more accurate version of the character, but the get-together that they're going with is definitely not how i'd prefer (and the early-on identity-porn era is my favourite for them, so it's double the :/). but it's ok, there's tons of other adaptations and comics out there that do show them that way (and more on the horizon! here's hoping 'superman: legacy' delivers, the casting is already amazing so 🤞🏻)

anyway, i'm gonna be going through the eps kinda slowly bc i'm pretty busy, so it's definitely not gonna be like my usual half-a-season-in-one-sitting liveblogs (god i miss having vacations)

Random, but I just wanted to say, I love your blog. It makes me feel so vindicated in my love for Lex and his relation to Clark and Kon. He’s such an interesting and complex character, and I feel like it’s hard sometimes finding people who like both comics and Smallville Lex, but still acknowledge them as different characters even if you’re a fan of the idea of Clark and Lex knowing and being friends with each other back then!!

Anywhores. Thanks Wkehsbwhwhsvs

wah, thank you so much anon! 🥺 lex is very fascinating to me as i’m sure you’ve gathered and i’ve basically just dedicated the last half a year or so to binging as much of his content across different mediums as possible, so i’m glad there are people out there who enjoy hearing my thoughts and feelings and opinions about him.

honestly even comics lex is functionally multiple different characters all taped together masquerading as one guy bc everyone who writes him has VASTLY different opinions on him and influences on their writing. mark waid is basically just writing pre-crisis lex (when DC actually lets him near the character, which is not very often), PKJ is writing byrne era lex but without all the predatory interactions with women, geoff johns wants to blend pre- and post-crisis (with mixed results), and joshua williamson is doing god’s work in actually trying to give lex an emotional arc through his last decade of messy as hell continuity.
