  • My Adventures With Superman has had a pretty fantastic streak with none of the first five episodes falling below an 8 out of ten in my personal reviews, this episode though, might just break that streak as what is technically the worst episode of the series so far even if that doesn’t actually mean much. This video will be my review of My Adventures With Superman Season 1 Episode 6 titled “My Adventures With Mad Science”.

    The ONLY thing I would've changed is maybe something like...
    "You told her before me?"
    "I didn't really tell her. She jumped off a building and..."
    "Wait... YOU JUMPED OFF A BUILDING!"
    I find it really weird she's never called out for that. Other than that, I still enjoyed it.

      My only guess for why the writers didn't is... (and I know I'm stretching) that, in spirit, Jimmy's point is accurate. Clark was GONNA reveal himself to Lois in the ep4 stairwell scene... even though ultimately Lois did force it out, he willingly would've told her first anyway.

      It would have been very easy for Clark to throw her under the bus by revealing that when Jimmy got upset, but it's honestly quite wonderful that the writers remembered that Clark would never sell out his friends like that, no matter what the situation between them might be. Just one of the things that makes him Superman

    When Jimmy said "I can't believe our alarm clock exploded again. Why do _you_ think that keeps happening?" in the first episode, I wondered if he actually did know that Clark had powers and just wasn't saying anything. Turns out, I was right.

    I was not enamored by the "Lois is mad at Clark" thing so I'm glad they didn't draw it out over half a season or whatever. And yeah, this was the first episode that was not better than the ones that came before, but it was still good. Even a lesser episode of My Adventures With Superman is better than most things.

    It’s pretty risky of them to reveal Clark’s identity to Lois and Jimmy this early on. Now they’ll have to create a whole show that can’t rely on source material. We’ll see if they can do it

    • @joshjones9749
      @joshjones9749 Рік тому +10

      The intro did kind of imply that they would be a team of 3 in knowledge of Clark's identity. But all they have to change is that now Lois and Jimmy can cover for Clark. The way these characters developed is already pretty different. Lois has eyes on Clark in this show much more than she ever did in the source material starting out. With her interested in him it would just be more awkward actively trying to hold the secret from her. There's still alot they can borrow from the comics.

    • @nik021298

      There absolutely is comic content of these two (and there's a lot more than just comics about Louis) after knowing Clark Kent is Superman. They can still keep taking things from other source materials and using them.
      In fact, the whole "I already knew for years but I didn't think I needed to tell you" is straight up from a comic, although it is for another reason in the comic.

    I really loved Jimmy in this episode as when he revealed that he always knew Clark was Superman, it was super refreshing to see and actually shows that Jimmy isn't an idiot and can pick up on things faster than most, as well understand the matter was a sensitive topic that he knew Clark was insecure about so he was willing to wait until his best friend was ready. Jimmy is so underrated and far more of a vital character to Superman than people realise.
    I also loved this take on Brain and Mosuier Mallah as they were literally a married couple that are mad scientists and its refreshing to see them not be villains for once.

    Mallah and Brain were great. The resolution between our 3 amigos felt a bit rushed in my opinion. But Lois changing her mind about Clark was handled better than Jimmy I think.

  • @QTRemnant
    @QTRemnant Рік тому +3

    Jimmy does not know that Clark is superman anymore, but it didn't matter if he knew to begin with since nothing happened back when Clark revealed his identity a few years back. So unless they figure out a solution to the "if a normal person knows that Clark is Supes, then they'll die" (outside of Lois, other heroes and Lex), then he still won't know Clark is Superman.

    Monsieur Mallah and Brain were fun. Its interesting to see new but still DC villains pop up in new ways as it keeps us on our toes. If they did nothing new we would just be repeating past stories and it would be predictable. If we did all NEW original characters we would just be waiting for some one familiar to show up.
    Giving us things we know from other DC shows lets the world, however changed it gets still feel DC
    Changing things up allows us to more easily accept the other changes and see this as a separate Earth from the main Earth.
    Thematically for added relationship drama it would work to have the General be Sam Lane but we can't rule out any number of characters since back stories have been changed.
    Im right now waiting to see a few things
    1. When will we get Lex? What is his roll in all of this? What version will they use?
    2. When we get to mr mxyzptlk how silly and how meta will the series be willing to go?
    3. When will we see other DC heroes and will they be heroes when we see them?
    4. When will Clark be able to translate or understand his father's message?
    5. how many characters will we see and check off our list before each season ends?
    That happens to me any time I watch a reboot. I go when will characters I know show up and how will they be written?
    Im even considering the possibility that if this gets enough audience it could spin off other shows for the other heroes with in the same canon and style.

    Still like the show but I’m not liking how hypocritical Lois is being. She wants Clark to reveal all his secrets that are extremely dangerous to her after only a few weeks of knowing each other. Yet she refuses to reveal anything about herself and her dad who is the threat they’re facing. She thinks she has a right to know everything about Clark and was even mad at Jimmy for not telling her about him. But she put both Clark and Jimmy in risk in episode 1 by lying to them and keeping what Perry said a secret. I liked that Clark stood up for himself when she was berating him. I hope they don’t pretend what Lois is doing is perfectly fine

    Honestly, I have to disagree. This episode was probably one of my favorite in the season, with the only problem I have with it being the same problem all the episodes have: they really do feel like the story is straining under the episode length-limit.
    But none of these episodes is really designed to stand alone in general, but rather to exist as "chapters" in the season "novel," so it's hard to argue definitively about that.

Sure, the identity reveal and Clark/Lois' conflict is resolved, but it is sped through and nothing interesting came out of the conflict (to be fair, I didn't know this season was 10 episodes or so).
      I guess another issue that I've been having are the villains themselves and their designs. Things could change about them, but I have been losing interest in that possibility.
