No Iron Giant was definitely not inspired by poorly written twink superman.

Superman saying: "is it that hard to believe that some people just to help?" felt more like superman than any modern edgy writter could have done. Hell i can even see Christopher Reeves saying that, and he was written by Mario Puzo!

[@venividi8523]

Actually the final script was ghostwritten by Tom Mankiewicz, all that's left of Puzo in the first two films are basic stuff like Luthor and Zod being the bad guys, but his script wasn't used, they just kept his name as the screenwriter cause The Godfather was still fresh in people's minds and they wanted to ride off that. Puzo's script had sex scenes in it so safe to say it would've been a departure lmao

If you think about it, it is in a way modern and edgy. It may be a realization we're having as a collective, and this show is a reflection of that.

Superman is always better in animation than in live action. He and his over-the-top action scenes just lend themselves to the medium. That said, an anime-styled version with him learning how to be Superman is inspired, heartwarming, and very welcome.

[@rjk537]

Superman and Lois show exists

[@OneTrueNobody]

Superman and Lois has a certain brand of live-action camp that one's mileage will certainly vary on. I can't take the show seriously (or look away from Superman's weirdly gigachad-meme-like face), but I do hear good things from the people who get into it.

[@pattgsm]

I’m going to have to respectfully disagree. All of the live action renditions did IMHO a better job of conveying the humanity and personality better than any animated version. Batman however, is definitely better animated. None of the live Batman movies can touch Kevin Conroy’s or Bruce Greenwood’s performances. Ben Affleck came extremely close.

[@OneTrueNobody]

@pattgsm Ehhhh, I feel that the Man of Steel incarnation, in particular, was too focused on making Superman as a concept "scary" and "godlike" to spend much time on his "humanity." Which is UNFORTUNATE, because when I ignore the movies themselves, Cavill is A-plus casting for Superman and has the best costume, too.

[@pattgsm]

@@OneTrueNobody Cavill was amazing but I can agree they went in an unexpected direction w/ the character. I loved it because it shows that he wasn’t a god. You realize that the rouge Kryptonians killed about 6 soldiers in Smallville and the World Engine had to have killed at lest 1000 ppl in Metropolis. This is the 1st Superman movie that had high stakes and consequences. I’m surprised Nolan’s Batman gets a pass when tons of ppl died and there were tons of ppl that Batman didn’t, couldn’t, wouldn’t save in those films.

[@paulpangilinan6671]

I think the reason why they chose to have the villains as humans instead of meta-humans is because of how the show is setting up the world. Besides the near-future setting allowing more futuristic weapons, through worldbuilding with the newspapers, we get a world where meta-humans do not exist or at least are not known to the public. This leads to superman being the first superhero and allows him to live in a world where its him figuring out what it means to be him. That's kinda why the event of him being photographed flying as a kid is seen as a "miracle" rather than just as another meta-human or something. This also makes the theme of superman being seen as a sign of hope more effective than if other superheroes already existed. It also allows him to fight stuff without being overpowered and adds mystery to the character of Superman.

[@brucechmiel7964]

Besides, it’s never too late to make Livewire, Banshee, and Parasite, Metas. Perhaps that tech will have an effect on them. Perhaps Cadmus will have that effect. Making them more like their comic counterparts in the future.

[@cathygrandstaff1957]

Yeah I expect in this story metahumans will be developed as a counter to Superman existing, because there’s no way normal humans can fight him. Mutation as a result of trying to use the technology, which seems to be alien in origin, would also make sense and explain Cadmus’s focus on retrieving people who have been using it.

[@EmeralBookwise]

@@brucechmiel7964: Exactly, especially with both Livewire and Parasite, their use of alien tech seems to have already permanently altered them. This series is still very much an origin story still in motion with both the heroes and villains having not yet reached their final forms.

[@OneTrueNobody]

@@DemonicRemption They might be referring to the way Man of Steel aped a lot of the structural make-up of Batman Begins, and Superman's portrayal in general has had an edgy feeling for a while. "Cheerful boy scout" is also a fantastic description of the OG Superman, so I'd... maybe avoid speaking for "Superman fans" on that point. If you're more of a New 52 Superman fan, then I can understand not knowing that, because around that time they rebooted him to be, ah, snarkier, a bit more aggressive in temperament, that sort of thing. But the OG Superman was fundamentally more of an aspirational character, and often played as a direct foil to Batman's darker nature.

[@Beeetlejjug]

@@DemonicRemption Just look at all the new evil "supermen." Homelander, omniman, brightburn, etc. People have begun to look at classic superman as unrealistic and too optimistic

It’s weird, because I’ve never really had like, a definitive version of Supe’s voice in my head, but the voice acting for him is like, perfect somehow. He sounds great as Clark believably different as Superman, just a fantastic job.

[@EACru2002]

Snyder obsessed with the God-complex of Superman, which was a weird choice considering that’s almost never been a core staple of the character, at least in his main form. All the God-complex stories usually came from Elseworlds and What If side stories. The problem with Snyder’s Superman is he took an Elseworlds story and made it the main canon. Superman has always been about humanity, compassion, kindness. Not what it means to be a God, but what it means to be a good person.

@@Marvin-lu3hj Exactly. The point of Zacks take on Superman was to be the start of his journey to be that hero he will soon strive to be. But in the beginning of when answering the call to adventure. The trials he'll face will be great and to test his heart. With the mixture of Mythology and Joseph Cambells The Heroes Journey, made Kal-El and his fellow team feel like more then just heroes. But also mythological. In this world we live in, is broken and if such characters existed in our world. There will be those that may see them as Gods, Heroes and Monsters. Considering how powerful they are. But once they took their leaps of faith to help not only themselves, but the world and it's people. When the world sees their heroics done to save those that can't help themselves. That's when the trust part comes in and the flames of hope start to shine in the hearts of man. Regardless of how many feel about him. Maybe not to all, but to many and will soon grow on to others. That's the beauty of i love the mythological take on my favorite heroes.

Not that the show is bad, but a lot of the complaints that he spends most of the show being slow to react and getting beat up. While it captures the character overall, that can be annoying to watch. That's why I always recommend the mainline comics to see him still be relatable, a symbol of hope and still know how to throw hands. He seems so slow and overly passive in the 90s show and spends most of the series on his back.

this show is actually my first real exposure to Superman. i've always been a Marvel fan, and never really gave DC any attention. growing up i obviously knew who he was, but I never read the comics, watched any of the movies or tv shows, or played any games featuring him. i learned the basics of his story and ridiculously OP list of powers through pop culture references, kids at school talking about him, and internet content. then a random tweet informed me of a new show that fans were calling one of the best representations of Superman... ever. With an artstyle that instantly caught my eye and an age rating that meant it wouldn't be another Invincible, i decided to give it a watch. and i'm a really big fan! whenever a new episode drops, i try to watch it immediately, and i'm really excited to see where the series goes :) also Lois is adorable

It is so refreshing to see Superman return to his wholesome roots. I got really tired of seeing Superman as this “god-like figure”, it just pushes me away from it (not religion related, it’s just boring to me). Plus it’s really nice seeing the show focus equally on the alter egos of Superman and Clark Kent, I feel like a lot of Superman stuff forgets about the Clark element of Superman. Plus the fact that Lois is a tomboy spunky reporter and Jimmy is the conspiracy-loving and joke-loving photographer just adds to the awesome chemistry the trio have. It’s just so good to see.

[@thedukeofchutney468]

I hear ya. While Superman is a Godlike character power wise the only “God” I’d compare him to is mainly Jesus mainly becuse both are compassionate and actually don’t see humanity as a burden but love it and actively strive to show humans a better way which for a godlike character is very human. What’s special about Clark isn’t his alien power but rather his humanity. As Batman says “He’s the most human of us all.”

[@mygetawayart]

I am LOVING the show but i should also mention that Superman & Lois is also a great offering that gets at least the title character just right. Tyler Hoechlin's Clark and Liz Tulloch's Lois are the standouts, they feel exactly as they should. Despite the show borrowing a lot from Snyder visually, it actually departs quite a lot from the potrayal of the characters from the movies. In any case, i think MAWS gets the spirit and the portryal of Superman even better. It's at its core hopeful, which is what a Superman story should always be about. I loved Snyder's trilogy but it tries to look at these characters in a way that isn't really what these characters are about.

[@heroicgangster9981]

My Adventures with Superman is a great refresh of Superman that kids and superhero liking adults are able to enjoy! It's a bit more like Marvel's Spider 2014 (or Ultimate Spider-Man comics) when it comes to how it integrates its villains. It gives the show a vibrant directly modern day environment to explore.

It's the cutest Superman I've ever seen, I adore it, I think people are too fixated in having cool superheroes, but making Superman adorable and earnest is like the best choice I've seen in a long time, also Lois is super likeable and smart and Jimmy as a conspiracy theorist is pretty funny, really liking it.

[@olefredrikskjegstad5972]

I really appreciate the way that Clark gets enough center stage to feel like the real person in the dichotomy between Superman and Clark. A lot of superheroes go through this because secret identities are a part of the job description, but the version of Superman I like the most is the one where Clark is the real person and Superman is a role he takes on. Superman isn't just aspirational to everyone else, but also to himself. He was raised as Clark Kent, and in a show like this where his origins are still unclear to him, that’s especially important.

[@teapartypenguin1353]

I didn't know Mist, Roughhouse, and Silver Banshee before this, but I really liked them in the show and the sibling relationship they seem to have. I really like villains that are villains but genuinely care about their friends/family.

Honestly, the second episode, “Adventures of a Normal Man Part 2”, is basically one, big “Fuck you!” to Zack Snyder’s “Man of Steel.” For one thing, they actually give an acceptable explanation for Superman’s red trunks, originating from his Earth upbringing, unlike Zack Snyder, who said he couldn’t come up with a “logical” explanation for the red trunks. On top of that, Superman is self aware of the mess made when fighting Livewire and ACTUALLY cleans up the city! He actually cares about the damage he causes, unlike in “Man of Steel”, where he completely annihilates both Smallville and Metropolis fighting Zod and his cronies and acts like he doesn’t even care about ANY of the aftermath at the end of the movie. Talk about the complete opposite! So far, this show is the COMPLETE antithesis of the Snyderverse Superman and I’m all for it! I’m definitely looking forward to what MAwSM has in store!

I think you can see by Episode 3 that the writers are intentionally shafting Jimmy so that he can get his own arc later in the season. It's clear that he feels left out because Clark and Lois are gaga over each other and he's only now catching up with that. Funnily enough, an episode released after this video came out helps support this, with Jimmy reacting in a sadder manner in regards to Lois and Clark walking each other home while Jimmy actually did his job. I think this is actually a genius decision because it's going to show Superman gaining faults to contrast the morally perfect farm boy that he tries to be. It'll show that he isn't perfect, and rekindling his relationship with Jimmy would symbolize how much he still has to learn. Though this is merely speculation, so take my analysis with a grain of salt.

@@MrGreylurkerTo be even fairer to Snyder, he’s basically a crypto-fascist by way of libertarianism, and he was always going to be fundamentally unable to grasp the themes and heart of the best Superman stories. Or Watchmen, he was perhaps the worst person in the entirety of Hollywood to adapt Watchmen.

[@kirkhonore]

My Adventures With Superman is, as you put it, an injection of a hopeful world and a hero still trying to figure out all aspects of his life. His wanting to be normal and have a normal life is perfectly fine, balancing his personal needs with his Kansas upbringing to be a contributor to his community and society at large and help each other out. The angle of (almost) every villain having their powers as a result of kryptonian tech is starting to wear itself a wee bit thin but being introduced to Mister Mxyzptlk and the multiverse should begin to move Clark/Superman, Lois and Jimmy into his more traditional villains. Can't wait to see how they bring in Lex Luthor because he is as important a figure in Superman lore as anyone else currently in the series.

As a pessimist who relates to Batman's worldview...I love this show because I NEED this Superman who actually GIVES me hope instead of just lip-service.

I been watching Superman cartoons since I was 4. I watched pretty much all of em. Just like you I relate to him. This show is a fucking masterpiece and I can't wait to see more of it. Also glad "Jerry Smith" finally has a badass character to voice.

[@StealthMarmot_]

It's nice to see an optimistic Superman. Leave the darkness and pessimism to Batman I say. I also like that they were willing to go ahead and make Superman kind of a lovable dork.

[@maxacorn]

people who say superman is boring and overpowered know nothing of superman. superman is the best of humanity. he's that guy we look to when all hope is lost. not disrespect cavill but his superman was written too dark. snyder's superman helps people because he has to. like he owes something to the world and does so out of duty. this version of supes, and most other versions too, helps people because he WANTS to. he has this desire and need to use his powers to help as many as he can.

[@Marvin-lu3hj]

I'm sorry, but Snyder's last theatrically released movie featuring Superman was 7 years ago. There's been multiple projects without him since. Why do people act like he's still making Superman films?

[@ddd22895]

They are talking about him like he turned superman into a different character when Snyder's superman was just sad in BvS ( wich is comic accurate btw)

Yes, it's quite refreshing, for me it's the best interpretation of the characters in a long time.

I really like this version of Superman. He passes my test with flying colours. For anyone wondering. My test is to listen to Matthew by John Denver and Starman by David Bowie. If the vibes of those two songs match Clark and Superman then the test is passed.

Canon wise snyder had superman for only MOS and BVS and you cant count the ZSJL since it's not canon. So in truth its only been 4 years 2013 to 2016/17 so whatever happens to supes after that is solely WB.

I don't know anything about Livewire (or practically anyone in this show) but if she's usually blue then based on what happened she still might end up being blue, after that accident and she's obviously going to be further experimented on I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up blue by the next time we see her.

[@cdmay4]

I have seen versions of superman in other stories and i always felt like he was a little full of himself. This still feels true to what's important to rhe character but i like this version more. Quite frankly it makes more sense. Someone who is always trying to do the right thing should feel like they are trying because people are human and make mistakes. The versions ive seen even before snyder always made me uncomfortable when they weren't willing to budge because it felt like he knew he was the authority on morality. This is someone who i genuinely believe wants to help and is willing to admit fault and correct himself. He hasn't even needed to. Ironically, the versions of different movies and cartoons ive seen have me distrusting superman and siding with lex a disturbingly large amount of the time. But i feel like this is a superman I would trust no matter what. Plus lets be real hes adorable how can you not like him?

[@adamolupin]

My Adventures With Superman is an animated Wayne Family Adventures and I love it. I'm really hoping that this show will lead to an animated version of Wayne Family Adventures and I hope that Wayne Family Adventures will lead to a Kent Family Adventures with Clark, Lois, Jon, Conner, Kara, the Steels, Ma and Pa, and the twins even (and if they want to throw Karen in there, sure! But Karen, not Paige ugh).

But my adventures with super man really changed it, I love watching dorky Clark, trying to fit his life together, trying to balance the life he wants to live with the responsibility that comes with what he can do, and hell its all just really fun.

Disappointed that Livewire is no longer blue? I wish they had kept Jimmy a freckled redhead! But ah well. At least the approachable, personable Superman I grew up with is back. Let's hope this is just the beginning of a new age for the big guy.

[@tueferbenz7492]

My Adventures With Superman is terrific, an anime-style update of the Fleischer cartoons and general Superman lore. It's also to be praised for being episodic while still having character development and a larger story arc, instead of being one long padded movie like too many serialized shows are. I liked Snyder's Superman, but I can see why many found him off-putting since he's an amalgam of Iron Age Superman with his own deconstructions, particularly Miracleman. MAWS doesn't just step out of the shadow of Snyder but also the deservedly and universally loved Donner movies, which the previous cinematic adaptation Superman Returns was too much in the mold of.

You've made a perfect read on Superman! I've grown tired of the "dark" and "gritty" superman, because that misses the ENTIRE point of his character! Sure, superman can have his dark moments, but those only hit hard BECAUSE he's such a peace loving, good hearted dude. This show, while taking a few creative liberties, still manages to be the most honest superman adaptation since that Superman and Lois show (which was also great)
