And of course fanboys and fangirls who will like any superhero movie or TV show. For adults it's garbage with dialouge that only 10-year-olds will like. All the network cares is that it is a ratings bonanza. We're talking GARBAGE. So, you liked it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpc3qh Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Something I figured I'd mention, as we're in the first week of episodes (and approaching the release of another Superman project): I care very deeply about Superman, because he was created by Jewish immigrants to represent the Jewish immigrant experience, and I’ve always been bothered by the grittier Superman because, for me, he’s supposed to represent a hopeful, future, American immigrant experience. The Superman captured by this show, and by the 1990s DCAU shows, portrays that in, I think, a better way than Cavill’s did (not to say Cavill was a bad Superman or anything). Yes, Snyder deliberately went in a different direction, and I get that, but I figured I’d explain why it bothers me that Snyder did.

fmaz Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) I enjoyed this, as did the wife. A different feel from the other CW shows for sure... but I think that's a good thing (if only for the sake of variety). They're smart to introduce a show which paints in a different palate... kind of the way Legends of Tomorrow has found its sweet spot in being very different from the other shows. I did have one question - since this is the "Arrowverse" and especially after Crisis we know these are all on one Earth... who/what is that reveal at the end supposed to be? It doesn't exactly track with Supergirl/Superman continuity that has already been established in the Arrowverse. Is it meant to be time travel?

Although I disagree on the Snyder concerns, that doesn't make your expectations any less relevant. Both are here to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though that doesn't clear up anything, I'm glad that it means they're not just ignoring it and it they're still continuing to keep continuity in tact.

Parts of the show like a teen soap opera but give it a few episodes, as executive director is good comic book writer Geoff Johns. Seems to be partly filmed in the city and suburbs of Vancouver, BC, Canada: Cloverdale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 So from watching the video, Captain Luthor is most probably from one of the Earths that was destroyed during the Crisis crossover special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that people have become far too concerned with the result, rather than the process that gets it there. How does Kal-El find his belonging? How does he learn to handle both aspects of his life? Snyder's Superman is the only one that even tries to answer these questions.

Rip Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Just watched. Production value was clearly the best ever for a CW show. Story not bad. It's above expectations. I'll keep watching Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagii Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Looking forward to tomorrow nights episode. Just hope it stays the course and not stray into usual CW tropes. Need to Amp up the action sequence just a bit. Supes isn't always about fisticuffs, he rescues people from danger and reverses natural disaster situations. These make for entertaining scenes as well.
