thanks for letting us know you guys are doing an awesome job keep up the good work👍

[@Heroesfullyalive]

I fell fpr this Clark Kent when he said "thanks, my mom made it for me." ❤️❤️😁

[@AccidentalInsomniac427]

14:55 I mean, I feel like when they put the router in some crazy high location they just went "Oh its fine, Clark can get it"

[@JoelMiller431]

Honestly, i don't think any of us ever expected this show to actually be good, but man they really blew us out of the water in terms of story, visuals, action, and characters. Truly the best Arrowverse show ever!

[@Gumblethebear]

I hate saying that this is in the Arrowverse..... maybe if you only consider the first 1-2 seasons of Arrow and Flash, beyond that, this show is not comparable to the crud the Arrowverse became.

[@JoelMiller431]

@@Gumblethebear dude, if it wasn’t for the success of the Arrowverse (INCLUDING casting Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch as Superman and Lois Lane), we wouldn’t have gotten this fantastic show in the first place. Heck, even Flash’s former showrunner, Todd Helbing, was responsible for the success of *Superman & Lois*

[@Gumblethebear]

@@JoelMiller431 The irony of course is tha the CW shows always lost money and their viewing figures were never good. So... success..... is relative. And frankly, as much as I appreciate this show, at least the first season, I was not a fan of either of the Clark/Lois actors. They were serviceable, but neither of them is a particularly good version of the character that fans will ever hold up as good examples of them. There is a reason fans really went crazy to see Tom and Erica back.

[@Kazeromaru]

Considering next season is the finale and it won't have half of its cast, they really screwed the pooch on this. Its a shame since the writing as stellar for almost all 3 seasons as well as the acting.

[@manehriimao2079]

​@@Gumblethebear Disagree, there are already many fans of Tyler Hoechlin's Superman. I get that you are a Smallville Fan, but, you shouldn't discredit this show just cause of some nostalgia. Every actors bring their own unique take and should be respected for continuing the legacy of Superman's character.

[@nightwingman666]

I remember once that Superman was described as ‘Just a small town guy who wants to do the right thing’ this episode Tyler embodied the essence of that. Bitstie Tulloch was a shock I never thought anyone but Erica Durance could play Lois but I really liked Bitsie’s take on the character it was weird at first as she had less zingers than Erica but in hindsight it made sense she’s been a mother for over ten years and it would have mellowed her to an extent. Can’t wait to see your reaction to the reveal of Luthor.

[@marlonclark-pp9wg]

same

[@azrael_pendragon]

This show being peak was so unexpected lol

[@ManOfX305]

It's so true

[@Val1Zod]

Can’t wait. This show is the best Superhero Show CW has ever cooked up.

[@Noetic-juggernaut]

I'm in love with this show.

[@marlonclark-pp9wg]

me too

[@TrackMaster844]

Oooh, you’re in for a real treat with this show!

[@Canadagraphs]

So it begins. I have so many things I need to catch up watching. Now I've gotta add your S&L reactions to the list (somehow I dont think I realized you did before). Glad it met the hype for you.

[@XRos28]

Lana Lang is Clark's love from Smallville in the comics, Pete Ross was Clark's friend in "Smallville" the TV show. In the comics, Superman has only one son, here they took the "twins" rout, so they transferred Johnathan's powers to Jordan.

[@ElisaH_DarklyiShine]

I don't know how I missed u were reacting to this but time to binge and get caught up.

[@markcruz359]

Was Raiden an easter egg throwback to when Superman got blue lightning powers

[@mildlydazed9608]

This version of Superman is so HUMAN in the best ways. That's what I've always loved about Superman is that he's fundamentally a very good person despite his god like power, take away the power and he's still Superman trying to do the right thing in the moment.

[@marclewis5505]

Finally!😃 Shan is reacting to Superman & Lois! Yay!!🤗

[@notsureyet2200]

When she started off saying she wasn't sure the show would meet her expectations I knew I had to watch the rest of this. You should have seen my cheeky smile the entire time watching you denying the hype. Welcome to the world of #SupermanAndLois.

[@markcruz359]

Nobody has perfected Clark Kent since Christopher Reeve, but Tyler is doing a great job with it.

[@MarkGuerrero-cz9bh]

the best cw / dc has ever put out (inncluding smallville)

[@TheMarine316]

The first suit was the best suit to many fans

[@punkem733]

I'm still stunned saying this for the last 3 years but Maybe ONLY Reeves is better. This dude is #2 best superman al time.

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

Well in the comics there isn't twins either.

[@Marc7777-g6f]

Please, more the Superman and lois.

[@TonyWasHere]

Superman & Lois 1x06 is on my to-do list to edit, it'll come out next week (the 31st of May). For more information on what's coming next, check out the schedule on our website, I tend to keep it updated well in advance: www.aftershowreactions.com/schedule

[@Marc7777-g6f]

​@@TonyWasHereIs there a way to add another payment method like Play Store for paetron, I cannot pay with a debit card, pay pal or Venmo, I want to subscribe now but there is no option to do it with Playstore. Is there a way for you to add it or any other possibility if not with paetron?

[@TonyWasHere]

@@Marc7777-g6f From what I can see the only options on Patreon are Credit/Debit Card / PayPal / Apple Pay / Venmo / Sofort. Unfortunately it's up to Patreon itself to add other payment options and not up to Shannan, sorry.

[@xaviergillis932]

I loved her little lie “I’m cool guys”. Shan is a lot of things, but cool has never been part of her skill set 😆

[@xxzain-axx6105]

Best live action superhero show lol

[@dylanshadowstar9779]

For those who have seen ahead in patreon, does she ever find out thus show isnt the arrowverse?

[@AfterShowReactions]

Yes, I know it's not set on the same earth. I've seen the first 3 seasons and am patiently waiting for Season 4. :)

[@christopherpunter3878]

He’s also seems a lot bigger then he was in supergirl I think

[@deleila_charlie2068]

Tyler worked out daily for the show so you're right. He's slender but muscular and you can see that when he's without clothes.

[@marlonclark-pp9wg]

he was a joke in Supergirl thank God they fixed him and made him much better in this show

[@nvp8191]

Spoiler alert: This series is a mixture of multiple Superman properties. For the look and Link of characters they look what's similar storyline interactions more similar to the arrowverse characters. As for the acting wise with general interactions and circumstances played off different characters it's more like the adventures of Lois and Clark series with Dean Cain. As for general storyline is basically the complete Smallville series with different seasons told in different storyline orders merged with alternate seasonal Ark's.

[@weisserdrachey]

Yay I’m excited 🙏🏻🙂

[@eolsunder]

its a great series early on you'll like it. of course like normal it fades over time.

[@iamdeathiamentropyiamdarks3517]

I like the title in the thumbnail. This is the only live action superman after Reeves and Smallville.

[@EthanSnyman]

An, he might to Say? Thank you about. being, wait for this going! To happened next ending, "Smallville" from the new beginning, with a Superman&Lois Soon.

[@ahyesverygood1336]

3:31 - I don't think Snyder thought that the tornado scene through properly.

[@dariusporter358]

Easily my favorite CW show (Yes I know HBO made this but it comes on the CW). Tyler Hoechlin is also my new favorite Superman. He just embodies the character and his relationship with Lois and the boys is so endearing. When the first season ended I couldn’t say the I liked this version of Lois more than Erica but now that season 3 is over they are basically tied for me. 11/10 show.

[@Jarcovancapelleveen]

I know that you already have seen all 3 seasons so keep in mind that this show does not take place on Earth Prime.

[@MarkGuerrero-cz9bh]

Originally there were references to the arrowverse, including a photo of Clark, Lois and Kara. Then covid hit and they had to cancel a crossover with Batwoman so they decided to down play the connection eventually they make it clear they are not the same continuity

[@freddiemolinajr.8397]

Superman and Lois is a great tv show

[@Jantzku]

This would exactly be that kind of spoiler she doesn't want. Expectation spoilers are also spoilers.

[@AfterShowReactions]

No worries, I've seen the first 3 seasons already but thank you for looking out. :)

[@Jantzku]

@@AfterShowReactions That's why I said "would" 😆

[@Swenglish]

This show was so refreshing to get after suffering through the anti-Superman that was Man of Steel and Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. It's a treat. My Adventures With Superman also gets it. I hope Superman: Legacy does as well.

[@azrael_pendragon]

I liked MOS tho 😭

[@Swenglish]

@@azrael_pendragon And you're allowed to, but it's not a Superman movie. I mean, it's got superficial elements of Superman, obviously, it uses the Superman IP, but it goes out of its way to take the idea of Superman apart and undermining it instead of showing why it matters. It's kind of a parody. Not the funny kind of parody, but definitely a deconstructionist, mocking take on what Superman is. He says his crest means "hope," but the ending of the movie essentially says "hope is stupid, be hopeless". That's a very intentional irony. And there's nothing wrong with enjoying that for what it is, but it's not what I personally wanted from a Superman movie, at a time when the world needs his message of hope, kindness and tolerance. There are plenty of dark parodies of Superman that don't use the actual character of Superman, and some of them are very good, but if I go to a Superman movie, my minimum requirement is that the filmmaker at least seems to like Superman and what he represents instead of thinking they can "fix" Superman by removing essential elements of the character and his upbringing and the kind of choices he makes and why and so on, in some kind of attempt to make him "cool". In a vacuum, it's not a bad movie, necessarily (I mean, it's pretty stupid, but there's also some genuinely good craft on display), but it makes no attempt to be a Superman movie. And, again, there's nothing wrong with liking that. I like the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie, and that's also a terrible and *very* stupid adaptation that's darker than the source material. I just don't care about Mario enough to be bothered by that, and that's completely subjective. With Superman, I just really wanted a proper, sincere, non-cynical Superman movie that doesn't try to turn Superman into Wolverine. That's a personal preference as a fan of the character. I'm not gonna try to convince you not to like something that you like. There are things to like about it. It just doesn't have Superman in it in any meaningful sense.

[@corryjamieson3909]

​@@SwenglishHmm, regarding the Christian themes of Man of Steel, has anyone tried depicting Jesus like he's classic Superman? Not a god, just a dude.

[@DaveH82]

So I guess you don't know about Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman before even Smallville?

[@AfterShowReactions]

I've reacted to some episodes of Lois & Clark since they were selected by people in the pilot tier, but before that I had never seen the show. If you're interested you can find those reactions here: www.aftershowreactions.com/patreon-selections/selections-l-m-n-o/lois-clark-the-new-adventures-of-superman-season-1

[@Gumblethebear]

They did a really good job with the first season..... it went a bit downhill after that.

[@Ioannis-malewitch]

Based on the title I would say that you should watch "Lois and Clark" if you haven't already seen it. I mean when I was young and watched "smallvile" I always viewed it as a kind of prequel to that show. Before it completely went in other directions. Plus Terri Hatcher for me is the ultimate live action Lois. Since you are a superman fan the more super content the better 😊

[@TonyWasHere]

She's watched the pilot to Lois & Clark: The New Adventures Of Superman just in case you're curious. You can find it here: www.patreon.com/posts/lois-clark-of-23619320

[@Ioannis-malewitch]

@@TonyWasHere thanks. I can't afford patreon but it's good to know that she's aware of it.

[@freddiemolinajr.8397]

Great reaction great pilot episode

[@StefKomGeekru]

It is so weird to see Derek from Teen Wolf and Juliette from Grimm as a couple.

[@collinschoenfelder677]

This show is my Superman not the newer movies

[@Andrew04291]

Every reactor who posts a Man of Steel video and for some reason thinks it’s a good movie just need this show too disabuse them of that notion.

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

Oh brother, if you need money for food and living, get a real job and stop asking for handouts from other people who are struggling just as much as you if not more so.

[@AfterShowReactions]

This is a real job my guy. Welcome to the 21st Century.

[@ShuffleUpandDeal32]

@@AfterShowReactions Yeah not really, not imo. Not if you have to rely on people giving you money. You don't even produce anything, you just react to stuff, like too many other people. If reaction channels suddenly disappeared nobody would even blink an eye.

[@TonyWasHere]

@@ShuffleUpandDeal32 Ok well your opinion is flawed. Everyone in this world relies on other people to give them money, you render services and you get paid. That's how jobs work. You're saying she doesn't produce anything, you're wrong about that too. She's producing content (a product) for people to watch, to enjoy. There's a lot of people out there who are interested in watching someone react to a show/movie/trailer etc., there's a market for it and people are willing to pay for it if they want to and much the same as any other person on KZbin or in any other field of work, if you get paid for putting content (a product) out there for people to enjoy, guess what.. you're running a business, you have a job. You state that if reaction channels would disappear that nobody would blink an eye, swing and a miss buddy. On this channel alone there would be over 30k subscribers wondering what happened to that person they were watching react to their favourite show(s) and like you said there's a bunch of channels out there also doing reactions all with a ton of subscribers of their own and those people would also be wondering what happened to the channel they subscribed to.

[@bennyhana3556]

I watched 4-5 episodes of this when it came out then I couldnt take it anymore... you know Walter White´s wife in breaking bad and how annoying her character is... I dont mind it when one character is like that actually it can be really good ! ! But I felt like every actor in this show gave me that annoying vibe I just couldnt handle it.

[@RitoRvolto]

This seems to be a very big you thing. Completely 100% disagree.

[@filthycasual8187]

You are correct, at least from the few Superman comics I own from pre-Smallville days -- Lana does end up with Pete Ross in the comics. At the very least, Pete asks Clark for permission to court her and Clark remarks that she's like a sister to him, giving Pete his blessing.
