Superman & Lois is Beautiful

Superman and Lois Season 3 Episode 2 focuses on Lois learning she has cancer, a type of story you probably shouldn't expect the CW to handle well. Superman and Lois isn't the typical CW show however and in going down this route managed to give us one of the most emotionally engaging episodes of a comic book show and one of the best Superman stories ever put to film.
This video is a review of Superman and Lois 3x02 "Uncontrollable Forces" plus a short review of 3x01 "Closer"

[@jourdonpatron212]

Lois's cancer reveal hits harder when you see Clark's face. That scene tells you that even SUPERMAN can't save her from that.

[@JoelMiller431]

Honestly, how can James Gunn's DCU top these portrayals of Superman and Lois Lane? Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch are just perfect in their respective roles

[@Cinema_Stan_Blake]

yeah, I think Tyler Hoechiln’s Superman is definitely one of the best portrayals ever

[@ahmadmohammed4212]

Enough complaining about James Gunn you bastard

[@johnbeal6114]

I agree Tyler Hoechlin it's easily one of the best portrayals of Superman since Christopher Reeves

[@nysimcharles33]

Easy, these are Superman and Lois that are well seasoned probably about or more than 20 years of experience. Seems like Gunn giving us A Younger (Not Origin) Superman. That’s Very Hopeful Like All Star Superman without him dying. Tyler And Elizabeth Are Perfectly Casted Tho

[@kingvidster5637]

I think he might be my favorite after season 3 ends. Plus this is the best live action Superman storytelling put to screen.

Superman & Lois is off to a great start this season. This show always delivers excellently.

[@ajwebhead21]

Honestly this show made me love superman as a hero and character that makes me understand why he is the best

[@TetsuShima]

6:44 Jonathan Kent's sudden death in the 1978 film was one of the most emotional moments in superhero movies. Not only it was very well acted and realistically done, but it marked the point where Clark decided to become a hero and protect the Earth.

[@MrWolfchamp-xi3cu]

The scene where Lois talked down the Judge from the ledge might have been the most powerful scene ever shot in the show I thought to myself after seeing it. And not only that the scene with Bruno Manheim and Superman where Bruno points out Superman's neglect of poorer neighborhoods was interesting They're venturing to some complex territory with this season.

[@jameswoods4793]

Bruno was very thought provoking especially in modern times. Lois was Emmy worthy.

[@StareachValcin]

Bruno Manheim does make an interesting point about the suicide slums but I strongly disagree with his take that Superman hasn't changed anything. Superman changed a lot for the better, just not everything. Also, Lois talking down the judge from committing suicide reminds me of the comic page from all star Superman where Superman talked down Reagan from committing Superman. It shows how Lois is influenced by her husband.

[@BeenBenji]

​@@StareachValcin yes has but also no because he's the reason Lex is out here destroying buildings and ruining others lives and the reason his brother decided to come to Smallville in the first place

[@BeenBenji]

​@@StareachValcin by the way yes I agree he's changed alot just adding on

[@StareachValcin]

@@BeenBenji Lex is responsible for his own ruining of other people's lives and destroying buildings, not Superman. Even Tal-Rho coming to smallville isn't because of Superman. It goes back Tal-Rho's father Zeta-Rho and the need of X Kryptonite.

[@shaunamc8667]

Jon's face in that scene with Lois hit me really hard - the actor is very good and really sold me on his performance. I'm hoping he gets far more to do. Everything was good about this episode except for the Jordan and Sarah stuff - they drag the show down every episode. I wish the writers would let this go

[@jclspice]

I thought Henry cavil was the apex Superman performance, until I saw this show. The bond between Superman and Lois, Tyler hoechlin and bitsie tulloch are just marvelous actors, every episode is a roller coaster of emotions, I never thought a Superman show would make me cry and laugh so much! It's just a wonderful show. I hope they don't mess it up!

[@dylanward4512]

I love this show a lot and this season has been great. I'm happy to see you make a video on it and hope to see you review the rest of the series.

[@David-xy2ly]

This show is absolutely fantastic, the actors and scripts are brilliant. I was so emotionally involved on every level

[@TetsuShima]

It's pretty curious how great and emotional the plots of "Superman & Lois" are, while "Supergirl" is...well, I think what Kara did to that poor security guard sums it up perfectly...

While Flash is heading to a Terrible Finale and Gotham Knights was Doomed from the Start,Superman and Lois is the Only Good CW DC Show that’s Really Good,Sure the the Multiple Cast,the Teenage Drama,and CW Style are the Weakest Parts the Rest is Really Good and Enjoy,Bruno Mannheim is a Interesting Villain with Reasonable and Questionable Motivations,Onomatopoeia is Mysterious and Creepy that I’m surprised they Adapted the Character,I Love the New Johnathan Actor,and the Main Focus of Superman dealing with The Situation of Lois is So Real and makes Him Vulnerable that he can’t Save Everyone and it’s more Intriguing that Kancer from the Comics,I excited for what Emotional Punch this Season will bring Going Forward.

[@eduardofranco8528]

For me this is the best show right now, this is Superman, this is a good story, yes there are some character that could easily be scraped, but they don't take the bulk of the show like Alegra, Chester and Cecile do, their story usually add to the main plot, while the actress that play Lana is awful, Kyle is great, Sara is okay, Sophie is berely there. The new Jonathan is amazing, I love his chemistry with Jordan, Bruno is legit scary, he just called out Superman and stared at him like he was nothing, no fear in his eyes... This show is simply the best, I'm so happy is not in the arrowverse.

[@frogsalesman]

Speaking of, ive been pretty happy with John and Natalie's stories regardless of what is happening. Their backstory alone makes them the most interesting side characters and their doom armor is just amazing

[@jameswoods4793]

Disagree about Lana

[@travongibson6882]

I liked those episodes as well Black Lion. I was really shocked when Lois says she has cancer. Also Tyler and Elizabeth is the second best show versions of Superman and Lois Lane to me. The first best versions of those characters on a show was Tom and Erica on Smallville. That is my opinion.

[@jameswoods4793]

I watched Smallville because I am a huge Superman fan. The first two seasons were amazing. Unfortunately Tom Welling was I'm sorry not a good actor

[@oliviastratton2169]

Yeah, Smallville's Lois is the definitive Lois performace for me. You really feel like she's a tough person who can keep up with Superman. I have some criticisms of the writing, especially in the middle seasons. But the actors really gave their all.

[@dynaguy3]

I would say the teen stuff, especially Sarah, drags the show down a bit because I really don't care about those storylines. But luckily, Clark and Lois are the best parts of their own show. It was pretty annoying when they cut away from Lois talking down the judge to teen drama

[@charlesleeray5863]

If you take away the powers it’s literally a family show it’s a superhero family show you’re gonna get drama from every main character no matter their age

[@Justhppy2behere]

The kids are main characters. The entire show is about family which includes them!!! If you don’t like it, don’t watch. Edit: Plus, without them there to cut away to… the show would just be sad and depressing as hell. Their storylines influence the adults storylines and they have their emotional moments too. But it’s meant to be a breather from how depressing and dark everything else is. It’s important that they flesh out all of the characters and give them something to do. Not just the adults.

[@lobopr]

I mean, the show is about Superman and Lois with there family. It established is based on the entire family since day one. So that means including the teen stuff. Which, imo, they do very good.

I'm glad Onomatopoeia is done here than in Arrow, cuz in Arrow she would've been just a one episode villain

[@topgig]

That's right. In Arrow Season 1, the substitute villain they used for Onomatopoeia -- the hitman Mr. Blank in 1x20 -- was just a one-episode baddie, so that's basically how they would have used Onomatopoeia in all likelihood.

[@bellion7642]

I love this show but I hate how they treat Jon. He has the least screentime from the main cast and he has literally no storyline. They took away his football career his normal schoollife, his interest in technology and weapons to protect himself. They gave that part to Natalie. Jon is just a random side character now.

Not really. Natalie already had that arc. They are probably still going to do that with Jon and probably give him powers as well.

I don't like the fact that they are setting up John and Lana together, Kyle and Chrissy together, because it just sounds like the typical CW trope of "everyone needs to be a couple/have a partner" and if you think about it, the show is really only as "bloated" as thr first season, I can't think of any character except Natalie who hasn't been there since S1. It's just that when they don't know what to do with a character anymore then rather than letting the actor and the character go, they start setting them up in a romantic/shipping story.

[@Zackarykant]

10 more eps left it cant end like this

[@dynaguy3]

the villains have been a bit of a weakness for me. For some reason they like inventing their own villains or heavily changing the classic ones. Onomatopoeia is cool, but why are they using a Green Arrow villain when Superman has so many great rogues?

[@topgig]

I still think they've used their particular choices of villains fairly well. Tal-Rho made for a good main antagonist in the second half of the first season, and before that, John Henry Irons as the Stranger was a good antagonist before becoming an ally. And I really liked this show's version of Bizarro in the second season, though I wish he had stuck around longer. The weakest villain in my opinion was Ally Allston, and even she wasn't terrible, just kind of average and underwhelming.
