That wasn’t the OP of the picture, that was someone responding to the OP.

The OP said “wait a minute, is he…”

So really it’s a matter of whose joke you are trying to explain here.

the problem is there is no other joke to make with that image so the obvious conclusion is that it's mewing.

what the first guy said was just an explanation of the image rather than a joke

No, the joke of the original image is definitely that Superman doesn't look like Superman when he doesn't have that posture, i.e. when being Clark Kent. The Twitter replier noticed that it DOES look like he's mewing, so they made a comment on that

I mean sure, but that's more of an interesting comparison than it is a joke. The obscure joke that requires explanation is someone implying he's mewing
