Overall I give this episode a
Okay, that happened/10
And, as for the overall show, itself, I give it a
I wasted two months watching this shit/10. To be quite honest, it's not as bad as I was expecting, but that isn't really giving the show much praise as the show was just a weak soap opera from start to finish. Pretty much on par with what I remember of watching the live-action Arrowverse shows (And, only watched the first few seasons of those). As far as any of the episodes that stood out to me of being decent, I can only really point to episode 3 (Silver Banshee), 4 (Parasyte), 7 (Mr. Mxyzptlk), and 8 (Task Force X), with the former two being the best of those as they felt like the show had potential of being a campy entertaining
Superman cartoon.
Episode seven is what I would file under as being a guilt pleasure, and shining part of episode eight was seeing Clark standing off against the Suicide Squad.
As far as what I can point to as being the most consistent and weakest aspects of the cartoon (Aside from all of the animation errors), it has to due with it being designed around arcs so there's constant story bait that's never actually resolved, Lois being the
real protagonist but never actually homing in on how that would work out, Clark is actually quite feminine in how he acts outside of fights, the obvious appeals to include diversity in order for WB to receive those ESG bucks, and all of the references to other capeshit and anime that were better and that you should be watching instead. With that out of the way, what was the actual strengths of show? Well, it got back to the show being about Clark Kent instead of Superman, Lois acting girly, and...that's honestly it. There's not much else that I can actually praise the show about that I haven't already mentioned.
If I was to compare this with other Western cartoons that I've watched, I'd probably place this show as being lower than
Alienators: Evolution Continues (
>>>/co/5165). If I was to compare this with the
anime that I've watched, since this show is trying to be pseudo-anime, I'd say that it's on par with
Super Dimension Century Orguss (

Being brutally honest,
My Adventures with Superman feels like it exists to finish an obligation or fill a void in the schedule. It's just there with no real hooks to keep people coming. Even the meme of Tomboy Lois seemed to have run it's course after the first three weeks. And, I do not see myself returning to be a subject for Season Two (Which was already in production before the first episode even aired). If
any of the people who made/produced this show are on this site and reading these posts, best thing I can advise would be to do two things.
First, don't make anymore capeshit. People are tired of it, and have only come back to watch select works just to see the "end" of it.
It's pretty much how I view GotG3, as it resolves the one and only loose end left after Avengers: Endgame. If you're trying get people to "return" or engage with a "reinterpretation" of some capeshit characters, the honest fact of the matter is that no one cares at this point. If they left already, you're never going to get them back. Which leads me to the
second point, that you people need to stop turning every single story into a soap opera. Stop making shows so much about petty family/friend drama. I already get enough of that living my own life, I
don't need to see it being played out for entertainment. Many people watch movies and shows for escape, not to be lectured about how much life sucks, nor live out a life through fictional characters. Stop trying to make characters who are "Just like me" and go back to making characters who are their own character. With their own goals, ambitions, hobbies, etc. Those stories are far more interesting than the 500,000th story about a young adult hiding a secret from his friends and suffering from relationship issues.
