Let's talk about the show's lead, Seg-El, played by British actor Cameron Cuffe.
Dude is 25 years old, 6'1" tall, and a legit Superman fan. I used to think that last bit wouldn't or shouldn't matter that much, but now I think it kinda does.
Cavill and Routh were both big Superman fans before being cast, while Welling infamously wasn't. I like that Cuffe falls into the former category.
I also like his Seg-El. He's brash, rough around the edges, but clearly means well. He's not Kal, and his Seg is supposed to be very different from his grandson. So when Seg doesn't act like Kal (which is the default), there's no surprise. But when he does (which was not the norm), Seg reminded me a lot of Morrison's New52 (T-shirt and Jeans) Superman.
So, Cuffe automatically gets the freedom from expectation that Welling never got (and was burdened with for 10 years). Good for him: this way Cuffe will likely be able to actually enjoy his time in the Superverse.
Story- wise: Do you think that the baby Seg and Nyssa asexually created is going to become Jor-El? Or has this timeline already been altered so much that Superman never exists here (as indicated by the final shot of the Cape)?
