ep 11 two kryptonite baddies with persuasive hands

another "one kryptonite bad guy" and "benevolent kryptonite powered citizen" episode! Last time we had serial killer old man pianist and That's So Raven future see-er old woman, now we have two people with the same ability and that's the power of persuasion via handshake.

evil kryptonite man uses his persuasive abilities to gentrify land and pollute it, while the more benevolent kryptonite guy doesn't want anyone to be manipulated by his abilities so he becomes a hermit in the woods and creates junkyard art.

super fun episode! I liked that this shenanigan caused Lex to attack Clark for a bit before his memory gets wiped and he forgot what happened.

Was a tad frustrated at the Lana subplot this time. I like that there's ups and downs in their relationship that reflect both the love triangle and Clark's sympathy for the hermit, but Lana's beef with Clark boiled down to "no way my bf would attack the hermit" and Clark saying "well your bf did attack me to make me a jesus scarecrow" and Lana saying "you still haven't gotten over my bf violently hazing you? Urgh!" UwU he was peer pressured into assaulting you, Clark! Get over it. Yeesh.

I get that she's like "you're siding with the town hermit who you barely know but won't trust me on matters of my own bf" but the town hermit's "crimes" are not proven and meanwhile Lana's bf Whitney did tangible harm on Clark and has been standoffish. Just some eh conflict

I like that Clark projects himself onto the town hermit and keeps giving him the benefit of the doubt because of it.

Chloe smooches Clark and it's just as weird as you'd think. Pete really isn't involved in anything :/

the kryptonite hermit survives wow! He goes out on his own trying to make a positive difference in the world and keeps Clark's secret. The Monster of the Week formula evolves,,

Plenty of car damage!! Lex even shoots a bunch of cars with a gun!! Counter goes up: 9

Clark doesn't stare at Lana while a song plays this time. Instead he and Lex stare out of the barn together and talk about friendship. Lex says their friendship will be legendary. Ouch but no dice, counter stays at: 6.5

ep 12 If I Was You I'd Wanna Be Me Too

Clark loses his powers to a classmate holding kryptonite in a freak lightning strike!! I thought this was going to be a Parasite flavored episode but instead it's a Superman Confidential: Kryptonite flavored episode! With hints of that Livewire electric touch origin.

Clark gets to be a normal guy while his classmate Eric recklessly showcases his powers and informally debuts as Superboy instead. Clark gets to see how he'd be treated if people knew, and he's initially jealous but then ends up enjoying being an average human.

It's sweet seeing Clark enjoy average things, even Lana's bf Whitney plays a fun game of basketball with him.

I liked how even though this episode ends with Clark saying that he's grateful for having supportive parents compared to Eric who had horrible parents that basically immediately reported their son in for experimentation, that Clark still isn't just a product of his parents' beliefs here. The Kents didn't want Clark to go out and confront Eric (potentially killing him) but Clark's heroism prevails. And Eric also isn't just a product of his parents.

I adored how this tied into the Lex plot. Lex is sus over Clark saving him in the initial car crash, but then witnesses Clark being painfully human AND is confronted by Clark telling him to back off. Lex cherishes their friendship so much that he does! And that's cool to watch Lex be so protective of the Kents.

For once it felt like Lana was the subplot to Clark's "I want to be normal" motivation here, instead of it being the other way around. It truly fleshes Clark out as a character and makes him more dimensional.

Also the Lex and his gf Victoria corporate showdown seems to have wrapped up here with the reveal that Lex's dad and Victoria were an item?? weeh weeh so the creep behavior runs in the family lol

we are graced with several car damage moments yet again, oh the joy of hitting double digits: 10

Clark stares at Lana as she leaves the flower shop/cinema! And a miserable on the nose song plays as this happens, yippeee: 7.5

"I mean, she's also thousands of years old, and you know, is waking up, and the context is pretty crazy. But, yeah, I just had to zone into really the depth of how she was feeling." — SHEILA ATIM on the red carpet for The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only live at the Beacon Theatre in New York City.

“Rappers only talk about their money, cars, and clothes!”

Why might someone from a group of people that historically have been denied access to wealth, now brag that they have it?

“Rappers only talk about sex!”

Why might someone from a group that have historically been denied sexual autonomy now brag about their sexual escapades on their own terms?

“Rappers only talk about drugs and crime!”

Why might someone from a group that historically have been denied the more legal means to acquire wealth and had drugs forced on their community talk about their experiences with it?

im sure its been used in bad faith before, but i do think the "batman is a fascist who beats up poor people and the mentally ill" argument is nowadays basically just used as a strawman. it is treated by fans as a baseless attack on bruce wayne as a character, somebody who doesnt read comics doesnt know hes actually a great person and that the joker murders people etc, which makes it really hard to talk about the genuine issues batman comics have irt classism and ableism. batman does have a history of having its villains coded as degenerate (mentally ill, queer, theyre effeminate men and domineering women), batman does beat up faceless henchmen who are often shown as dirty and poor, batman does, as previously mentioned, have villains who go to an asylum and are sometimes narratively framed as deserving of medical abuse. im not saying bruce wayne is a bad person when i say this, because he is not real. im criticizing the nature of the series as a whole.
