Superman and Lois season 4 review

Superman and Lois season 4 review 



Intro: My Editor: Are you crying? 

Me: Go ahead a laugh I don't care. 

My Editor: It's OK I know. ( He wraps his arms around my head and cries.) it was so beautiful. Why did it have to end? 

Me: Will you get a grip!?!  


Superman and Lois season 4: This season picks up right after the last season ended and Superman is out of commission after his fight with Doomsday. The Kent's not only have to figure out how to revive him but deal with Lex Luthor. After Superman is revived he's becoming a shell of his former self. So, he has to figure out what's happening to him before Lex destroys everything he values. 

Despite the limitations behind this season, it gave us the best season of the show. This series took liberties with the death of Superman story that is filling for TV. The rest of the cast screen time being cut helps this show force on the Kent's. A character from the Superman lore finally appears in this series. The stakes may be small but you don't mind it because of how personal they are. Some of the action scenes are impressive and the way this series ended will pull on your heartstrings. 

This season makes you appreciate how lonely Clerk Kent/Superman feels despite having people in his life. We see how this is affecting the boys. What bugs me about him is that he shouldn't have the problem his having. 

I'm not crazy about what this season has done with Johnathon because it doesn't make the family less vulnerable. 

I was let down by Jordan this season. I mean I thought he was going to redeem himself by playing a role in having his father get better. 

Lex Luthor in this series is the best live-action version of this character. (Shut up Smallville.) He's ruthless and calculating. I have issues with his motivation because he shouldn't be mad at Lois for what happened to him. Plus, he's not innocent so he should have seen himself being wronged as karma.    

One of the problems I have with this series is one of the subplots. I wish this was in season two because this would have worked for that season. The character from Superman lore feels ticked on in this season. The season as a whole didn't play out so smoothly because of some of the filler episodes. This season didn't always handle Doomsday well and Brainiac is a joke. 

Overall, this is not only a fitting end to this show but an era.
