One possible interpretation of the sheer difference between peaceful Krypton itself and the fact that it's a war-mongering empire is actually pretty simple: like a lot of empires in history, war and conquest was done to enrich and improve the homeland at the expense of the conquered territories and colonies.
Krypton itself might have been a very nice place to live, with lots of peaceful science and lack of concern, but it could only do that with the resources and labor of conquered peoples and planets. Kara has only seen the home planet's utopian-esque life, while Clark has only seen the warlike nature, when the Empire could have been both to differing extents
This latest episode was definitely great. Superman awakened, kidnapped again, only this time he's lost in space. As misguided as Kara is shown to be, deep down, she does want to bond with Clark. Despite not agreeing with each other, Clark and Kara are definitely bonding. I can't help but enjoy how Clark teases Kara when he realizes that she has a crush on his friend Jimmy. Of course, Kara gets him back by pretending that the helmet part of her suit is malfunctioning, only to reveal to Clark that super powered kryptonians can survive in the vacuum of space. It was nice seeing them play in space. Apparently, Clark is aware of the moments when he suddenly gets more powerful and how it's usually due to a moment when he needs to protect someone. Kara seems to show signs that such a phenomenon has never happened to her. When Clark and Kara arrive on Thanagar and see it destroyed, this is where we start to see the cracks in Brainiac's conditioning over Kara. Kara showed signs of not knowing what Brainiac had her do to the planets that are made a part of the new kryptonian empire. Brainiac, tired of waiting, sends his drones to get Kara and Superman back on course with his ship, which apparently is this show's version of Kandor. We are also made painfully aware that Kara has no knowledge of her biological father, Zor-El. Her adopted father is Primus Brainiac, and he's quite the villain in this episode. Around Kara, Brainiac acts like a father, but he shows more of his true personality around Clark when it's just them. Brainiac revealed to Kal-El that he knew both of his biological parents, Jor-El and Lara, using that knowledge to lure Clark in. It marks the first time Clark learned about his biological mother's name. Then, to test what Superman is capable of, he has his drones take on the form of a Green Lantern, Parademon, and a Thanagarian. After seeing Superman's great potential, Brainiac is convinced that he can use Superman's powers to restore the kryptonian empire, starting with the conquering of Earth. Naturally, Superman won't let Brainiac take over Earth or use him as his weapon, but Brainiac clearly is going to try to force Superman to his will. Despite Superman's best efforts, once Brainiac used a red sun energy field, it was easy for him to subdue our kryptonian hero. To make things worse, we start to see the full effects of Brainiac's conditioning over Kara. It's a combination of raising her, manipulating her, and even brainwashing her. However, her time with Jimmy and Clark influenced Kara to learn the truth of what Brainiac had her do, which seemed to set her up on a path to redemption. A small glimmer of hope is shown when a ship reaches Kara carrying Lois, Jimmy, Malah, and the brain. I can't wait to see an explanation of how they got into space in the next episode.
Nice to see Clark and Kara being family. Wow Kara really likes Jimmy! P.S. Kara loves that black stuff ❤
Brainiac with his almost polite fatherly tone towards Kara really sold the menacing presence Micheal Emerson brought to the role YES THAT'S RIGHT Michael Emerson is Brainiac in the series I found that out after watching the credits to see who was in the role
My theory is that Clark can go Super -Saiyan- Man 2 because he can tap into empathy and emotions growing up with humans which allows him to go above to help people. Kara didn't get that being raised by an emotionally non-existent Brainiac. Basically, Clark is Gohan from DBZ.
That or his dad experimented on him to become the best version of a Kryptonian. (Going off that Brainiac cradle line, it's probably that)
Yeah, others might absolve her but Kara definitely felt the weight of those deaths as the episode came to an end
I liked the episode a lot, I just think they had Kara break out of her brain washing too easily. They should have had this episode be all about the journey to Brainiac's HQ with signs of the mental conditioning falling apart thanks to her interactions with Clark. Saving the actually meeting with him for the next.
It's pretty clear to see that Brainiac would want Superman for his more developed powerset compared to Kara.
Is this brainiac in the house of brainiac story in the comics?
I am still curious as to how brainiac found supergirl pod and raised her as her own weapon.
She was brainwashed into thinking brainiac is her dad
@@yarc9 no i get that but I am just curious as to why would Braniac need supergirl as a weapon instead of say I don’t know use his army of robots be the one to kill all worlds.
@@TevyaSmolkaonce supergirl break free from mind control she gonna get redemption arc
@@yarc9 I can see that being the case
He's a Braniac, presumably they all had AI companions in their ship, but this one had grander ideas.
