Reasons why I don’t like Supermartian
Not my gif
Disclaimer: My intentions with this post are to expose what I thing about this ship . In no way, shape , or form do I intend to offend those who ship it . If you like it , who am I to tell you that you are a bad person for it , right ? But I wanted to put out there some of my thought so here it goes . ( and sorry this is a giant of a post )
It’s a relationship based in lies :
Let’s talk about the biggest elephant on the room Megan’s hole identity and life are based in lies . She manipulated her backstory a couple of times throughout the series and directly lied to her teammates. Instead of being truthful to herself she choose to lie not just to her all her teammates but also to Conner her boyfriend , twice . First when she base her hole appearance and demeanor in the show Hello Megan , and after when she lied about not being a white marsian . And she wasn’t penalized for any of those wich bugged me a lot. Because what it or not relationships are build on trust and if you lie about something so vital as your identity to your partner , a red flag should come in order .
The lack of privacy :
Megan is a telepath and that fact alone already brings some apprehension . But the fact that she doesn’t know or seem to don’t want to control her powers respecting people’s privacy is an alarming fact . As it is shown in the first season when she enters Conner’s mind and he gets angry at her , rightly so . I could talk about the insident that se parentes them in the first place but that is something we are going to talk later . The thing is , the total neglect Megan has for other people’s privacy is very questionable.
Megan and Lagoon boy:
Now this is what first made me thing Megan’s deal was definitely not what Conner deserved , when Con breaks up with Megan after she misused her powers on him , she jumps to a new relationship in no time at all . And goes on in a rebounding relationship with Lagoon , whirl Conner try’s to move on . But when we come to think Con is finally find someone that is worthy of him , they get back together ! That is so unnerving, because Megan didn’t change her state of mind , didn’t change how she deals with her powers ,she just didn’t change .
Conner needs someone who can understand him :
Con goes through a lot of trials , troubles and tribulations on his life mainly because of his origen . He is a clone of Superman and was made by the bad guys , but he gets through , he faces some major problems , and before people say he is also a angry person , and it’s not just Megan’s fault . Let me tell you , that boy didn’t ask to be born , but yet he was burned with the purpose of being a unemotional clone , but then he is freed from the bondage he was born into , still the man who he is originated from ignores his existence because he is a reminder of what bad people can do . Can this guys even catch a break ? Of course after all this turmoil he would be angry , but also having a feeling of being wanted and being very fragile emotionally , giving the space for abusers and abusive partners to take advantage of him, Whitley he is convinced he cannot find anyone better . Because who would love a freak such as him right ? That is the thought Conner has and it is distressing to know that yes he was abused. So yes I think Conner would be better with women who better understood him and how he feels .
It is an abusive relationship ship :
Talking about misusing powers let’s go back to why did Megan and Conner broke up on ten first palace . Conne himself tells us how it happened . Megan pryed in his mind and changed his thought about her , she abused her power and literally tried to make him forget that he was angry with her . And that is where this gets even more serious , Conner feels totally deprived of privacy , and totally violated , he felt humiliated and betrayed by the person he trusted and loved the most , he felt abused . CONNER KENT WAS ABUSED ! And no one seemed to understand the gravity of this . Megan is his abused , and he can go on with his life and carry on because what she did marked , and scarred him so deeply he thinks no one but her will want someone as broken as him . And yet the shows writers put them back together again ,what a message ( go back to the person who abused you , because no one else will want you).
Romanticizing and abusive relationship:
At last something the media and all the industries love to do . To romanticize abusive and toxic relationships . But this time around it could have been different, because in this situation we get the inverse of what usually is portrayed. The male is the victim , and it comes to show that this story line could have been so much better . It could have tackled abuse and showed to the views that abusive relationships are not always what they seem . This arc and the relation between this two character have broughten up so many discussions so many things that need to be said . But the writers chose to underestimate the views and only labelled it as a romance story, when they could have shown the effects that an abusive relationship causes in a person's life.
In conclusion :
I’m not here to say you are a bad person for shipping them . But I would like to warn peole to look in the nuances of this characters . Because once you get the bigger picture of what is happening between this two it is quite difficult to maintain yourself in a more neutral ground , when you look into it it’s impossible to keep it impartial .
I only read facts !!!
