Superman goes to the army’s funeral & wants to talk with lieutenant Anderson about Bizarro

Superman & Lois S2 E6

[@breezy3392]

"Why are you even talking to that thing?" To get answers! Seriously Anderson, a Bizzaro Superman bursts out of the earth's crust and you don't think to ask how or why???

[@lisamurphy7028]

Well I think it was more why are you talking to him un-offically without questioning him, without telling anyone who know where he is when you were supposed to be tracking him. It makes you look sketch. In this case 'talking' was more as if he was having tea and crumpets.

[@jasonlendrose]

@lisamurphy7028 no, Superman has proven himself over 20 years, and as pointed out by Andersons superior, they have had a solid relationship with him, until Anderson got involved. Andeson let his need to contro and egol overide his judgement. Superman talking to his counter part is questioning, Anderson knows this but his ego and need to control, is once again interfering with his judgement. The guy needs structure and control so bad he can't adapt to things outside the chain of command in a healthy or conducive way. 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@brianna_d.f6433]

"Find out where he's going." Why do you need to know? Chances are he went to help someone. Superman doesn't work for you.

[@RavenPendragon14]

Right. Like tf you gonna do when you find out?

[@callanflanagan8706]

Superman works for the people, not its government, not to downright backstabbing tyrants and idiots like Anderson, he protects those who cannot protect themselves

[@danieldickson8591]

Anderson insisted from the start that Superman work for him, or that is to say, for "America" exclusively. He wants to find out where he's going because he doesn't trust Superman. Not saying any of that is the right thing to do, but it's where he's coming from.

[@sirsyncalot9147]

Boom! You said it 💯

[@breezy3392]

Anderson has absolutely no idea how you handle something that is not within the chain of command

[@shadowspidey7327]

Was really sweet of Clark to pay his respects I blame Anderson he warned they were not ready and look what happened glad he got slapped.

[@seanrutherford728]

2:08 I mean yeah…..Honestly, what was he thinking sending out a bunch of kids to take on a Superman? Normal crimes in America sure……But a creature that rivals your strongest hero and you send children to fight him??

[@neilsiebenthal9254]

Because he doesn't trust superman because he's crooked himself so he like all crooked people assume everyone else is just as crooked as they are.

[@lisamurphy7028]

Superman never told Anderson what they were up against, for fear he would send in those kids. But if Superman had told Anderson literally anything about what Bizzaro was...maybe he would have made a different call. Or at least had been more prepared to fight Bizzaro. Also it's sad that Anderson sent those kids in anyway so all of Clark's precautions came to nothing. You can't fight an enemy you know nothing about and unfortunately Superman is the reason Anderson was so unprepared and in the dark/clueless.

[@patriot2989]

Because Anderson was untrustworthy that’s why he didn’t tell him

[@LuciferDFallN1]

And that after their world's Superman told him "they are kids don't send them"

Slapping a general? Laura Drummond's rage level there was over 9000 🤣🤣🤣

[@TDKiller415]

@kiki_the_arctic_cat_girl3778 I know, but it was a reference to Vegeta saying "IT'S OVER 9000!!" because the actress Laura Drummond is married to Vegeta's VA, Brian Drummond

[@QuEsT_X]

I know people don't like anderson but I do in some ways understand him . He was the biggest superman fan and plus a soldier which I'm sure watching superman when he was younger influenced him in his life and his dream was to work alongside superman, we can't forget the biggest reason superman and Gneral lane worked so well was because the two of them were literally family and even then they bumped heads. So to me I think this is a case where a person's expectations of a person are not meeting the reality of the situation and anderson means well but feels like why can he have the same relationship Geneal lane had with superman not understanding that General lanes relationship was also with Clark and that's the person the world doesn't see only his family

[@neilsiebenthal9254]

Come on dude was crooked from the start.. What idiot human thinks they can boss superman around, betray him, lock him up for no reason, torture him... He's a pos..

[@breezy3392]

I think Anderson truly does not know how to work with someone who is outside of the military structure. He keeps acting like Superman has to work for the DOD or report back to the DOD, when no, no he does not

[@kereiltutt5769]

​@breezy3392 exactly hes not thinking big picture. Superman isn't just there to protect the country he's protecting the world

[@lisamurphy7028]

@@breezy3392 Because Superman does work with the D.O.D. It is an actual understanding Superman has with the military that Superman shares everything he knows with General Lane and now Anderson and they share everything with him. Which is part of why Superman keeping him in the dark about practically everything until it is convenient for him (Superman) to share ticks him off so much.

@@lisamurphy7028 Work with, and work for are not the same thing. And you're missing the points that I'm talking about

[@RealGigaMind]

Unlike the soldiers or generals or even rescue workers, Superman is not an employee. Superman does it, because he cares.

[@MrDelta01]

This scene actually made me tear up. Wow.

[@lisamurphy7028]

Henry Cavill and Batfleck. Made even worse by the fact that Anderson doesn't see Superman as a dangerous alien. Anderson wasn't paranoid. Superman was supposed to work with him. There was a connection that was expected but never formed. No real attempt had been made...until a few episodes later standing in Bizzaro's house when they BOTH got slapped in the face with how stupid they were being. "We should have been allies...what was stopping us?" Okay that actual line is taken from Superman talking to Dave Harewood's Director J'onn Jo'nzz but it's the same idea.

[@chrizmartin9890]

I love how derek and Peter got to act hero and villain again think about this Anderson being bad pretending to be good Mirror Peter wanting Scott’s alpha pretending to be a ally

[@davidtrainor9569]

How old were the U.S.upermen? Tag is highschool age, if they're the same that's pretty irresponsible to send them into the field.

[@RavenPendragon14]

Tag graduated so I believe he is 18. Technically they are adults, which the military took advantage of.

[@neilsiebenthal9254]

But they just got those powers also. It took superman years of training to become as good as he is.

[@andybrown4284]

The US military has a meat grinder approach to warfare, fight until the losses gets too high before pulling out and claiming victory anyway.

[@karlcarlysle3578]

Anderson has no concept of what he should be doing

[@breezy3392]

I feel he was not properly evaluated for this job

[@lisamurphy7028]

How can he know what he's supposed to do in this situation when no one will tell him a blessed thing about the situation until it is already way too late. Yeah he was in over his head, but take it from someone who knows, no one can help you (or in this case Superman) deal with a threat or a problem you are having if you don't tell them the actual nature of the threat or problem. He has a concept of it but no real world experience. that's a different thing. I have had people try to help me deal with a mental condition who had a concept, as well as training but I never told them what it was actually like. So of course they couldn't do a very good job helping me. Honestly, this isn't all that different.

[@GenericName0042]

Mate the black suit ain't a Snydercut thing. It's from Reign of the Supermen, the storyline that followed the Death of Superman, both of which Snyder BUTCHERED.

[@mrHunleashesHELL]

@@GenericName0042 Its actually neither , The Black Suit is actually a solar suit in the comics that helps Superman charge faster after his ressurection. The Black Suit in the Snyder Cut is more of a royal suit that represents the heart of Krypton , Clark wears it to honor his origin. And on the more literal note , there was no Black Suit in Snyder Cut as the shooting was done in the Red and Blue suit , Snyder only desaturated the scenes just to add the Black Suit for the sake of it. Me personally will always prefer Snyder's original Man Of Steel suit because the design itself is so perfection that there is no need for any other version of the suit.

[@windghost2]

@@mrHunleashesHELL I agree wholeheartedly with you, especially the last sentence. I love Synder's Man of Steel suit. It's my favorite superman suit and I honestly can't imagine Superman wearing anything else now. Because it's just the PERFECT redesign of his suit that just captures who is he as a person and as a hero. Although I don't mind the brighter blue and red version from JOSSTICE LEAGUE, because I like bright colors on superhero suits. The original version works best. I doubt my opinion on this will change by the time Superman Legacy comes out in 2 years, but no matter what suit he has on in that movie or future movies, comics, games or TV shows, The Man of Steel Suit will always have a special place in my heart. And I don't think anything will change that.

[@jax467]

Who else heard the sweet sweet snap of their necks?

[@AdeptKing]

Why does everyone refer to Anderson as "Lieutenant" all the time? The full title is Lieutenant General. Like people refer to Lt. Colonel as "Colonel" if they don't want to say the full rank.

Not sure how they would have enforced those on him if he didn't want to follow them. Even in Marvel there were heroes that just did what they wanted even when those Accords were up. Look at Thor in the comics, nothing Tony said or did even moved him.

[@specialk9424]

This show is really starting to piss me off with their portrayal of the military. Anderson is a Lieutenant GENERAL, not a Lieutenant!! To call him a Lt is to call him SEVEN RANKS too low! And the Sergeant is supposed to have rank on her uniform. One thing about the military, they like you to wear your appropriate rank when in uniform, especially dress uniform, at a funeral. Not only that, the volleys were WAY too close together, and there'a command to fire between each one. And the fire team members have to manually chamber the next round, even if they use semi-auto weapons, because semi-auto doesn't work with blanks! Holy shit, put some damn EFFORT into this!!

I got you but this is all about Superman here So they don’t need to be realistic on the other parts

[@phillipbates9587]

Don't like Anderson!

[@elric9992000]

Haven't really watched the series, but two comments about this vid: 1) Anderson is a Lieutenant GENERAL, not a Lieutenant (unless and until Hardcastle strips him of rank). The difference is 7 or 8 steps in the chain of command. 2) All the military members should have been at attention and rendering a hand salute during the playing of Taps. Anderson and his Sergeant are the only ones who are close to being right. Everyone else is AFU. Superman, as an American civilian, should have placed his hand over his heart. Terribly sloppy of the director and producer to miss this.

[@nerdking1019]

So to be fair on the 2nd point. Superman is NOT an American civilian. He makes a point to not claim as such in this show as he's "here to help everyone"

[@breezy3392]

Superman is not an American civilian as far as he's ever made clear to the government

[@niharsama7065]

[@Bone8380]

Superman is American (though anyone who doesn't know his identity probably also doesn't know that for certain) but I would not call him a civilian.

[@specialk9424]

I was so pissed off about the constant mis-ranking of Anderson, and the fact that the sergeant doesn't have rank on her dress uniform, I didn't even notice that NONE of them were at attention, or saluting. And I'm ex-Honor Guard, for God sakes! And the volleys were WAY too close together, and there's a command to fire between each one. That's how angry I am at the laziness of the production. I know it's only a TV show, but holy shit, put a little effort into it!
