I thoroughly enjoy Superman And Lois (SAL).
It's the best live-action Superverse TV show in the 85-years-and-counting history of the character.
But recent episodes have made me realize a painful truth:
For two main reasons, Live-action TV just is not the ideal medium for Superman.
The first reason is obviously budgetary. TV will NEVER have the financial resources (nor the cultural importance) of Feature Films.
A high-end sci-fi /space fantasy character like Superman requires lots of expensive good SFX for most of his stories. Go back and look at any of the previous Superman shows (Adventures Of Superman, Superboy, Lois & Clark, Smallville) and for every decent SFX shot, there are 9 bad ones.
SAL is holding up better than anticipated so far, but that's mainly because they limit costumed Supes to an average of about 5 minutes screentime on a 45 minute show (after commercials).
Less Superman = money saved =/= better storytelling.
The second reason is between his 5 solo shows, TV has now covered Superman extensively from age 14 thru age 44. Sometimes it feels like too much like going over the same ground again.
For example, SAL too often feels like it's trying to be Smallville: The Next Generation.
I dunno ... maybe I'm being too harsh on the limitations of the TV medium.
I just feel like going forward, Superman should be reserved for big-budget feature film series, high-end animation, and (please please please) decent video games.
