i was really struggling with the episodic structure in the first half but as the story became more continuous it was much more enjoyable especially when it started focusing more on clark dying - episode 10 emotionally hurt me in the way that only that one episode of bnha has hurt me (iykyk). first superman story that got me to like lex luthor as a character, that being said i wasnt a huge fan of lois in this. first of all please just put her in a skirt that at least reaches past her mid thigh but also superman and lois’ relationship was giving me nothing and im never into a lois that dismisses clark. also grant morrison was really pushing how effective the clark kent disguise is after having clark literally tell lois hes superman and she just straight up doesnt believe him. but overall i can see how this became the quintessential superman story and defines his character
