"My mom made it for me." :v:

I like that General Lane isn't a dick to Superman.

The sonic boom effects when he's flying really do give a sense of speed and power.

Superman's real nemesis: :capitalism:

I guess Master Chief is Captain Luthor. Not sure that explains anything but there it is.

You guys are coming at it from the wrong angle: Jonathan is going to have Bizarro's powers. Freeze vision and heat breath.

Or maybe he will end up like Mr Glass. Either one.

I'm glad they still have the budget to make the cgi look good. Certainly a big step above Supergirl.

Lois Lane is perfect. She just can't sit around and she's all fired up to get Morgan Edge.

howe_sam posted:

The boys synchronized facepalming when Lois went after Edge was great.
That was :discourse:

Holy poo poo Kyle is the worst and yet completely believable. :911:

I want an edit where every scene with Luthor has music from Doom Eternal.

Dickhead General Lane: origins :v:

e: Kyle would be a lot more sympathetic if he was out of a job and Edge was promising him one. But his family has 2 earners so he just seems like a real piece of poo poo.

Kinda wish that Jordan had lasered the bully right in the face. Taking it out on the football team was almost as good. Dorky dad Clark is very wholesome.

lol that Lana's family has an old tiny CRT tv. What an odd choice for the set design.

Seems wasteful to kill a meta that can physically match Superman but then again I'm no supervillain.

Did he really "stand his own"? Once Kal realized he had to try, he goes full "I live in a cardboard world" on his rear end quick.

And no immunity to freeze/lasers? Hardly a challenge.

I would say he did pretty well. He took the initial beating without flinching and then knocked his rear end out.

Wait why would Jonathan think that the coach was calling him into the game? Isn't he a QB and his brother plays some defensive position?

Jonathan's super power seems to be emotional maturity and empathy. He just cares about people.

lol all open flames in the barn. I know Superman is there but c'mon son.

Looks like Morgan Edge is going to make some meteor freaks.

Also Lois really should've asked Clark to spend like 2 mins at the mine that Edge wanted to buy and give it the ol x-ray scan. Him failing to do that would have been more relevant that him being too busy to give a speech at the townhall.

And only Jordan had any pushback about the DOD teen prison camps educational facilities for metas? Lois your hate boner for Morgan Edge is making you slip up.

Lex Luthor has his warsuit, Captain Luthor has an RV :v: And I guess the writer's wanted to give him another reason to hate Kal-El, as if destroying his world wasn't enough. Seems sloppy that Clark didn't wonder what the gently caress blew both of them out of the sky.

Well I guess we know what Morgan edge is doing now.

lol the LaGuerta bench returns! That should've been a sweet moment but Dexter ruined it for me.

Anyone else find it a bit odd that Superman made no attempt to investigate who just shot him out of the sky with a high-tech rocket? There wasn't even any dialogue about it.

I did!

Maybe it can be an escalating series of attempts to murder him throughout the season. Luthor takes out bigger and bigger weapons from his RV and tries to kill Superman, but Superman just shrugs it off and doesn't even give it a second thought.

For a split second I thought Jonathan had manifested super strength right there. Of course not. The writers are going to push this kid to his absolute breaking point.

He's gonna be the O'Brien of the show. Or Major from iZombie. All the bad things will just keep happening to him. Forever. :smith:

Should've just let that poor boy go back to Metropolis and live with their family friend.

Superman lookin' pissed with his glowing heat eyes is such a tired modern cliche/image for the character BUT by having that happen because

So let me get this straight...

John Jeremy Irons(the creator of the Steel armor) lived in another dimension where Superman turned evil, got a group of other Supermen together to take over the world, but after resisting he ran off to our dimension, John followed him to kill Superman, and then wanted to come back to his home!?

Also, does this mean that the black armor was originally intended to be used by the other dimensions Luther!? And that John was in a relationship with his own Lois!? And if the evil Superman did in fact run here, then where is he!?

Did I miss this part where the evil Superman from John's dimension escaped to the current one? Seemed like evil Superman was successful on his earth and won. I think it was just John who escaped and is now trying to kill Clark before history repeats itself.

Everything else seems right. The Halo armor / AI was probably meant for Lex.

Nice to see Clark doing some investigation stuff too.

Jon lost his cast super fast. Maybe he has super healing :v:

"You didn't really think I'd give people powers without having them myself." I guess that explains that.

Based on the promo for the next episode, the answer appears to be yes his actual brother and not just another fellow kryptonian

I do like that Clark immediately told everyone in the family. I remember when they said no more secrets on Arrow and then immediately went back to keeping secrets. :v:

Chuckling a bit everytime that Clark's mom mentions how she's and most kryptonians are good people but then she named her invention the eradicator.

A bit surprised they dealt with all fake krytonians already. I wonder what else Edge has planned.

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK
Sep 11, 2001



Now that I think about it, Edge was kind of a dummy to just leave the eradicator device completed unguarded. Unless he has a hell of an ace up his sleeve, seems like he just lost his only way to bring back kryptonians.

Yeah, that was a surprise, considering there are still three episodes remaining!

This season will actually have 15 episodes for some reason and the finale will be directed by Tom Cavanaugh. :zoomed:

I have to say Hoechlin is really surprising me with his portrayal of Clark and Superman. He's *really* good in this episode.

I also love that Lois career was separate from, and in spite of Superman at first. Her opening Clarks eyes to systemic oppression is a great beat in their relationship. I also really appreciate the clear call out that she is a *good reporter* and it's not just down to her relationship with Superman.

Clark and Lois are so well cast. They are fantastic.

It was MEANT to just be "a radicator", i.e. something that makes things Rad, it's just that Morgan Edge's dad is so cartoonishly evil that it sounds like "eradicator" coming from him. Poor guy, everyone always assumes the worst of him even when he's just trying to help save his people, just cause he LOOKS like a melting wax museum nazi general.

Now I'm gonna pretend that after creating "a radicator", Lara-El spent the rest of her time growing and smoking the dankest space herb.

"Boo the military sucks. Leave"
"Oh gently caress Edge is here. Save us."

I thought General Lane was joking about sending out a newsletter to get people to evacuate but lol she was doing it. Part of me was hoping that Edgeradictor would destroy Smallville so the show can take place in Metropolis next season. Smallville sucks.

Vin Diesel wishes he had this level of family in the movies. Lois saving Jordan, Clark saving Edge, Clark giving his dad a eulogy. All great scenes. Superman also just telling people / the world what happened was also refreshing.

That was kind of a weird final scene. I'm happy for John Henry, but it's not much of an ending hook for the next season. Certainly not as much as the dramatic music wanted it to be. Seems like something that can be cleared up in a few minutes.

Bring on season 2!
