Just wondering where is Metropolis in this show?
It 4 miles away from Smallville so i though it was in Kansas but it has a ocean-view
It look Chiago-ish to me
Lois didn't feel at all like a tsundere here. The only "Tsun" moment was when she was miffed at Clark for leaving when he found out she lied to him, but that was about it.
It doesn't even seem like he has any of his vision powers yet which is sometimes used as a reason for why the glasses exist.
Hah, seems people are responding well to the Clois romance
Oh and Wyatt confirms that the original two season order still stands and they’re working on S2!
At least we’ll get 20 episodes of a solo Superman cartoon. Obviously would like more, ideally we’d get 5 seasons, but even getting four which is one more than STAS got would be nice.
They’re seemingly going with the Smallville (CW) take of Metropolis being in Kansas but yes that doesn’t make sense geographically. My headcanon is yeah, Metropolis is in Chicago’s place for this show and Smallville itself is in Illinois.

I think this might be in my Top 3 Superman adaptations of all time now. I totally love the anime vibes, Asian Lois and black Jimmy are absolutely fine changes that work and Clois romance has a very cute dynamic that they never had before. Stoked to see how story will unfold because there is some intrigue behind Superman's backstory. He has new ship that grows (?), he Sailor Moons into his suit and it was fun to see Martha adding trunks as a nice touch. Which is an absolute improvement over her making Clark a suit inspired by Batman in Man of Tomorrow animated movie which was absolute trash take on costume origin.
Really excited to see the secret reveal and plot developing. Seems like Clark is a shonen protagonist this time that gets power boost when he gets emotional, that is so fun.

The Ordinary Man/Extraordinary Woman dichotomy between what Clark & Lois are aiming to present to the outside world about themselves was very well done in the first episode. I hope Gunn/Corenswet/Brosnahan are taking notes.
Quaid is really good as Clark, as is the rest of the cast. The animation from Studio Mir is stellar as expected and the show has a very refreshing look differentiating it from the rest of the animated Supes adaptations.
Only pet peeve was Livewire as there wasn't a need to change her shock jock origin (the 'shock' part actually played into her powers on purpose). They should have used a villainess with a less unique origin like Rampage or Volcana instead.
Excited to see the show's take on Waller.
Weirdly enough, some places I go to speculated the new Leslie design could have been Used for Mercy Graves.
Still like it overall. Not enthused with Wilson. Didn't need him.
Le Suck it, Dolphin!
-God I am so tired.
SCOTT SUMMERS AND EMMA FROST DESERVED BETTER.
Rampage's origin is pretty unique in as far as innocent scientist gets forced into being a rage beast that can't control herself (Oh wait, that's the Hulk )
Livewire felt more like Whisper O'Daire than Livewire.
Wasn't the MoT prototype suit based off Batman while the main suit was original?
Is Waller going to make a "Suicide Squad" of Superman villains with Livewire, Parasite, Toyman and whoever else is appearing on the show?
I don't think it will be limited to superman villains as we already saw they include Deathstroke hint at Amazo & eater eggs of Starro & Monsieur Mallah
It would be cool to see a majority of superman villains like Livewire & Bloodsport but i would like them to also include other villains like Killer Frost, Tatooed man, Black spider & King shark (who i believe is a superman villain)
Well you’re going to get your wish with one character, spoilers:end of spoilers. Would have preferred Volcana myself but it’s not a big deal to me. Toyman is also supposedly going to show up at some point.
apparently a gender bent Heatwave will be on Waller’s team.

I interpreted Metropolis as being their equivalent of Kansas City. Same as I did on Smallville. If Smallville is located around the middle of the state, the 100 and some odd miles distance makes a bit of sense. Especially if it's near a waterfront of some kind. Like a river. It would also make sense when he gets called "Kansas". If Metropolis is in Missouri. Being a kid's show I'm probably overthinking this.
Assassinate Putin!
