Superman: The Mad Scientist (1941)

First Watch Thoughts

Superman theme very supes from the get go

Krypton is glowing green? And looks like earth?

Sole surviver?

Electrothanasia-ray I love technobabble

Classic Lois, always spunky and adventurous

High quality animation

That scientist was fully ready to kidnap anybody who showed up to his door

That bridge destruction was top notch quality

Supes lifting building is top notch and also him holding back that ray

Ha! Punching rays to get through instead of dodging it. Classic 40s

Supes really chucked him into that cell

That really felt like Superman

Superman: The Underground World (1943)

First Watch Thoughts

I like caves

Ayo Mr white?

That seems like it would be a very lovely boat ride

Oh shit danger gotta catch that boat now

Where the fuck did these bird people come from!? What is going on!?

This is all a bit silly but not in the way I like

By far the most obvious Superman and Clark being the same person in the series

Could have used his eye beams to collapse the cave in, why hasn’t he been using it?

That guy sure is fishy

I feel like in the world they live in, people would believe it. And Mr. White didn’t have to be such a dick and burn the damn thing

I’m really not liking the current state of this series

Watch here ya bum: I’m so sorry that was too mean, please watch it here you nice-head

Superman: Secret Agent (1943)

First Watch Thoughts

Hey was that green car from the first Superman comic?

Hot damn Clark is just as capable

Is she going to turn herself in at headquarters?

Hmm I wonder if he is a Nazi

Clark can take them but it would reveal his identity

Oh she’s a secret agent, okay yeah that would explain the title

You don’t want to keep a duplicate file or get the police or someone more secure to take it?

Very much a lack of Supes and Lois in this Superman cartoon

This Gal can really hold her own against all the chaos

“Hello :)”

She’s gonna get grinded, but not in that kind of way

That’s one fancy elevator Supes is pulling up

That must be a very slow moving cog thingy

Couldn’t he have swooped in and grabbed her instead of pushing the bridge away

Yep of course it has to end with the American flag

And that was Superman (1941) stay tuned for my overall show review

Watch it along with me:

Superman: Jungle Drums (1943)

First Watch Thoughts

They are going heavy on all these racist stereotypes aren’t they.

Okay now it’s literal nazis, which is Better

Oh god their silhouette

What happened to the pilot? Is he dead?

The papers are in her coat?

Did they put her into that room to ask one question and then remove her?

Ms Lane’s Plane is very fun to say

Is that dude also a kkk?

Racistism ensues…

Where the hell was the papers??

How come their plane wasn’t shot down?

Go fuck those nazis up Clarkey boi!

Absolutely no fucking way Lois doesn’t know somethings up with Supes and Clark

Oh hey I know that guy

Superman: The Arctic Giant (1941)

First Watch Thoughts

That’s not a tyrannosaurus. Silly 1940s should know better

“RUN! IT'S GODZILLA!” “It looks like Godzilla, but due to international copyright laws - it's not.”

Clark just yelling in the office very much insinuating he’s supes. Why the fuck is he so loud all the time?

The cooling system keeping Godzilla from killing everyone breaks down and Lois is excited because of the story. The fuck Lois

Damn Lois does not give a shit about others safety as long as there is a good story

Anybody else suspicious of why Superman keeps showing up in the cupboard of the daily planet? No, just me?

First name basis now, fascinating

I’m sure she’s onto clark

‘Hey boys what is the best way of stopping a monster from crossing a lake?’ ‘Oh I know, let’s squirt it with water!’ ‘You son of a bitch, your a genius’

I didn’t know the colosseum was in America

Lois is my favourite in these shorts. She has so much spunk showing up to where the monster will be to get good images of it stomping people

“M’lord”?

Why is he louder as Clark than Supes?

Who the hell are you winking too, Clark!?

Superman: The Mechanical monsters (1941)

First Watch Thoughts

Why did they mention X-ray vision in the opening out of any power?

What can’t we have 40s robots nowadays? They are so much cooler

Do they not know what robots are? They ain’t called monsters

For our display of wealth let’s just dump our entire fortune on stacks of tables with no glass or barricades

“LOIS WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?” - Clark asked calmly

Alright Lois you wait outside with the monster while I hide in the phone booth

He didn’t think it wasn’t a job for Superman when he stepped in the booth the first time?

Classic Lois just jumping into that robot, no hesitation. She really has that spunk that I would not expect for something made in the 40s.

Ah that explains the X-ray thing, super freaky eyes though

Ruh roh Lois is kidnapped… again

Where did those jewles go? They just fell into the Forrest do the rich guys ever get it back or does it belong to the forest critters now?

Supes can’t easily rip through some wires?

That villain was about to let Lois die in lava, that’s pretty hardcore

I loved that scene where he uses his cape to block lava and save Lois

Superman (1941-1943)

Review

This series is what I would consider the gold standard of what Superman should be, its action packed, beautifully animated and just feels right

Now I’ve come to a tough decision on how I should rank and score this show, if it was just Fleischer Studios then it would be 8/10, but since the second half Famous studios, is far too strange, poorer quality of writing and racist, and I can’t just ignore that, so I’ve had to bump it down to 7/10

But I would love to know what you all think of the series, and how you would rate and rank them

Final ranking 7/10

7/10 Superman (1941)

6/10 Captain Marvel (1942)

Episodes:

The Mad Scientist

The Mechanical Monsters

Billion Dollar Limited

The Arctic Giant

The Bulleteers

The Magnetic Telescope

Electric Earthquake
