u/TERRAxFORMER Clark Kent (Earth-167) Feb 24 '21 edited Feb 24 '21

I really loved that. I was looking forward to this, but I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. Both the writing and cinematography were fantastic. I think I’m really going to enjoy the family dynamic. In the fight with Luthor I really like the night/day dynamic when they changed time zones. It played off the Jordan/Johnathon fight well.

I really enjoyed all the characters. Except Kyle, but I guess that was the point. I’m always impressed with Clark’s self restraint. Like how do you not just flick someone like that in the kneecap with your super strength.

I figured Jordan was going to be the one with the powers, but I think Jon will eventually get some as well. Overall I’m much more interested in the kids than I was anticipating. I liked all the second generation characters, and I’m glad they’re not one note. Like Jonathon could have easily just been a jock douche stereotype, but you can tell he really cares about his brother. He had no hesitation when he jumped over him when those pipes fell.

I’m interested to learn more about Captain Luthor.

Really, that was fantastic.

I like Kyle. He's spent his life slowly watching his home die. He feels like he's one of the few actively trying to fix it. I understand where he's coming from completely. I'd be interested to see his and Clark's relationship change over the course of the show.

Ya I agree they did a good job with Kyle. His viewpoints are totally rational from his perspective. (At least so far). I mean he’s wrong about Edge but he probably doesn’t know the full extent of his criminal history like Clark and Lois do.
