Remember guys. Dont feel bad about this show beign over. Be happy that they ended the show at their peak, instead of ending up like The Flash by making 6 more season.
There were only 3 seasons left, many things left unsolved Superman's brother tahl in biazaro world, Henry and Lana marriage together many things felt left out we could have got few more great season cause It ended too fast 1) was tahl being villain 2)biazaro world 3) manhaim 4) this lex season Writing was done according to 7 seasons but they cut out almost everything to end it bro
@@prateek18837 Final someone who understand I don't know why people can't Understand Great Writing makes a Great Show whish This Show is I wish it had it's 7 Season
I wonder how many people recognized that the red dress Lois is wearing at the end is THE DRESS from the episode of the same name. It's the dress Clark bought her when she won an award, she wanted to get rid of it because (after the cancer) she felt she couldn't wear it again, that it wouldn't fit right and people would stare.
Thank you! Thought it was a strange choice to put her in that dress for the final moment-- not that she didn't look great-- but I had completely forgotten about that episode and moment. This makes a lot more sense.
When Doomsday gestured to stop Superman from punching him into the sun, and he just did. That's peak Superman. Clark understanding what's happening and gently pushing Doomsday into the sun, made my eyes a little hazy. Fantastic writing. They really understood the characters they were bringing to life.
I felt so bad for Doomsday here. I hoped that Clark & the DoD could help to reopen the portal so Doomsday could get back to his earth to be a protector to his family even if not in the way he used to be.

You know what I find so poetic? For the DC Comics Shows CW started with Smallvile where we saw and followed Clark Kent’s life as a kid to an adult and it ended with Superman & Lois where we saw Clark become a father and it we followed him till the end. All in all it’s really cool it started and ended with Superman.
This clearly wasn't made on our earth, when the Arrowverse messed with the multiverse, the CW pulled this show from another Earth where they could actually make good TV.
Basically Superman & Lois is the end of an entire era of the CW that started in 2001 with Smallville and ended with Superman & Lois in 2024. I know that Arrow can probably be considered the end of the Arrowverse, but... I think the ending of Superman & Lois is no worse. I was sad to realize that all these characters will never get together and do heroic things again. But damn, despite all the problems, these projects had some kind of their own great unity vibe that everyone liked and charish. Anyway... RIP Arrowverse and CW superhero shows era 10.10.12 - 2.12.24
@@RastaGamesful while I love thought of bookending the arrowverse with Smallville and Superman and Lois, Smallville wasn't part of the Arrowverse. I know they included the scene with Tom Welling in their "Crisis On Infinite Earths" storyline, it still wasn't a part of it because ALL of the Arrowverse shows were a separate thing.
The only thing I would’ve added would be in the ending montage have the grown-up superboys battling Brianiac or Darkseid for a single shot. Just to show that they are still heroes with their own villains. and that I was upset we only got to see the super boy suits for 5 seconds..
Tyler Hoechlin and Bitsie Tulloch have set an incredibly high bar that as great as they are for David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan to beat and be on par with. As inconsistent as the CW DC shows were its without saying that at their best they were some of the best live action content DC had to offer and it started strong and ended strong
To me, Superman & Lois separating itself from the Arrowverse's canon due to the poor handling of many Superman related things in that universe and a general higher level of production quality, feels almost just as rightly justified as Arrow was to separate itself from Smallville's canon.
I adore this series and this was such a wonderful ending for the show and the characters. I love how they turned budget cuts a shortened season to their advantage. During season 2 I lost my Mom. During season 3 my sister got diagnosed with breast cancer a week before Lois did in the show. In both cases in these rough times, Superman & Lois offered a much needed distraction for an hour. Lois going through her treatments helped me as I toon my sister to her treatments , and as I stayed with my sister, it allowed me to see how the show really paid attention and respect to the chemo process. This show will easily stand with Superboy and Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman as super shows that only lasted four seasons each but left a resounding impact with me. Great video. You knocked it out of the park.
Episode 5 was needed though, and it’s one of the more important episodes of the season, it shows that lex had a chance to repair things with his daughter but chose not to, without it you don’t development of Lex or understanding his character
You had valid points about Luthor but I just wanted to remind you that, THAT was the point. He's a sociopath. When he still had control over everything (season 3) was saw more of the Lex Luthor we know. Season 4 was his descent into madness. His ultimate destiny. Fitting for a final season.
It’s not even OOC for Lex to go off the rails & descend to thuggery when his plans start to fail. That started when he couldn’t get his daughters location, then Superman came back to life, then he finds his daughter but ultimately loses her because he can’t let go of his hate, then the people of Smallville reject him & he’s beaten up by a powerless Superman. That pileup of failures is enough to dig deep into his insecurities & make him go off the rails. In the end battle he keeps charging Superman repeatedly despite getting punched back each time. He’s out of tricks & running on rage rather than smarts.
Superman and Lois will go down as one of the best comic book adaptations since Daredevil Tyler Hoechlin did Superman Justice in this show was the reason my love for the character came back I became a Superman fan again because of this show
It was great to have a live adaption where Clark/Superman is written as lonely and isolated while reflecting that he actually grew up around people, loved ones and others. Some writers complain it if hard to make him seem human…. There is nothing more human than being powerful but not being able to stop cancer or death or things you can’t hit with fits or energy beams to resolve. Or dealing with life, teenagers and human behavior!
This is the best series finale I've ever seen, and a fantastic Superman story. The writers, director, and cast convey a deep love and reverence for the character, and concluded this story in such a satisfying way that triggered just as many smiles as tears jerked. Seeing Superman use his influence to inspire others in building "a better tomorrow" is what I always felt the character should stand for. Him forgiving Lex for his frailty in his final moments was just so classy. It was even cool to see the evolution of Kyle and Clark's relationship where Kyle had the chance to be the hero again and administer lifesaving procedures so Clark could hang on a little longer and have the chance to say goodbye to his family. What a wonderful show this has been!
I’m hoping sometime in the future, we get a DCTV multiverse crossover. They could make it a miniseries, coin it as Elseworlds, bring back the actors of several shows, including the shows they canceled like Swamp Thing or Legends of Tomorrow and end the miniseries by retconning most of the shows into taking place in the same universe. And they can always return to this continuity like have for the DC Animated Universe!
I don't think dragging a show out makes any sense. 4 to 5 seasons is enough. S&L DID GREAT ! WENT OUT ON A HIGH ! NOW...can we get Emmy nominations for the lead actors ?!!!
Im just glad the flash finale wasnt the end of all dc cw shows. It was the end pf the arrowverse but im glas we can say the dc on cw started and ended great
This was easily the best adaptation of Superman in live action since Christopher Reeves and the best live action Lois ever. Gunn's Superman has the unenviable task of following this show but at least they have the blue print for a perfect Superman adaptation now.
I wish they had some sort of cameo of Kara in the last episode, but even without it, the show was easily the best Arrowverse show ever made, by a longshot at that.
@@night-streakmedia3319 That's probably a doppelganger of Diggle where events might be different in this universe and by that point they were still deciding whether or not the show will be in the Arrowverse or not
@@night-streakmedia3319 when they were referenced was it by there hero names or anything mentioned bout them being heroes. Cuz they could exist here and not be heroes
I understand why you didn't love darker suit (me neither) but I get it. This is their version of the typical Death of Superman black suit. But since this show (and Elseworlds crossover before it) established the correlation between a black suit and evil Superman I get why they didn't go for an entirely black suit. We don't want to give Irons PTSD.
1:55 not only that but it started the trend of having a break after every 1 to 3 episodes then we'd have a week off or however long off until the next aired
You fans don't know what you like in movies and tv series I think all season 1 to 4 was mind blowing it was the best live action superman even better than man of steel
While I am glad that they managed to tie everything up in the final episode and made the finale season itself really work, I have a feeling that they were planning to do Darkseid at some point and that even for Brainiac to be future villains but due to budget cuts and shortened to only 4 seasons, they were forced to cut all future plans while some hints and clues to them remained. All that said, I think it was for the best that they ended the show on 4 seasons and ended on a high note.
Great show, only show I was watching religiously last 4 years. Thanks for the memories. Tyler and the rest of the cast did a great job. And Doomsday was just the show stopper for me.
I actually really like this lex luthor, but I do think that a big problem is that he isn't powerful enough. Lex luthor never would be held in a normal jail for 17 years straight. And the other problems with his character I think only exist due to not having enough time
This was by far the best Superman ever -animated, comics, don’t care. They portrayed him as Clark Kent primarily rather than Superman and that really brought Lois to life too
I’m really glad the cw was able to get a good ending to its dc stories with Superman and Lois. In its hay day the cw arrow verse was really something amazing. Even if it tapered off at the end of the last couple shows I’m Glad they went out on a high note
I like Season 1 Season 4 Season 2 Season 3 ( not I hate this season, I felt they should show why Bruno fear lex and how this version John Henry killed by Bruno
Lex Luthor: "I will never stop! I will never rest until I destroy everything and everyone that you love, Superman!" Superman: "You want me to kill you?" Lex Luthor: "No prison on Earth can hold me! You know that! Come on! KILL ME!!!" Superman: "NO!!! God knows that I want to! But you don't get to destroy who I am! You will go back to prison and spend the rest of your miserable life in a cage, knowing that you don't deserve to be with your daughter, knowing that the people of Smallville rejected you and beat you, my family beat you, I BEAT YOU!!!" Yes, this is a reference to Daredevil/Matt Murdock finally defeating Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in the grand finale of Marvel's Daredevil, Season 3.
I was hoping they'd do original concept for the supertwins because the got suits wrong Jordans suit is supposed to be white with blue accents with a red cape and Jon's suit is supposed to have a cape with his leather jacket wrapped around his waist
I can buy this as the definitive end to the Arrowverse. Even though this takes place on another universe, i can personally see this set in the same timline of Arrow and the Flash, just set several years after the latters finale.
While I agree that season 2 wasn't as satisfying as Season 1, I have to say, outside of Ally Alston being poorly fleshed out, season 2 gave us some of the best individual moments of the show. Bizarro Superman was peak. We got the Supermen of America. Anderson was actually a pretty compelling villain compared to Ally. We got that fight with Superman taking on the DoD, which was mirrored in the Bizarro world. Speaking of which, we got an entire Bizarro world episode which was brilliantly done. Tal Rho was phenomenal in that season, and the finally gave us one of the most iconic shots of the show with a solar-infused Superman separating two earths with a cinematic overpowered punch. So while season 3 felt more consistent, I feel like season 2 had more iconic standout moments.
This was absolutely brilliant , and what a fantastic cast . For me it was where they took superman , we’ve never had this before it was truly a great way to finish , if there are any awards to be had for the story telling then this deserves one 👏👏👏
Actually the creators said if they had the opportunity to make more seasons they had big plans for this version of Brainiac and they was also gonna do Darkseid
I could never get into the Arrowverse, although I did try on multiple occasions. The shows were getting a lot of praise online in various forums, but I always thought the writing and character work were somewhat cringy and immaturish. Maybe I wasn't in the targeted demographic, but those shows weren't for "me." Fast forward to 2021 with the debut of Superman & Lois, and I was reminded why Superman is my favorite superhero. This show was phenomenal from beginning to end, and I will miss it.
Cavanaugh is a great actor and did a great job as G Gordon Godfrey but I personally like that character to remain British and very posh. It adds to the smarminess of the character and better imitates his real world counterparts of Pierce Morgan and Sebastian Gorcha
So I wonder with Jon and Jordan having kids..will all their kids get powers or a just a few. I’m assuming Jon and Jordan got more powerful as they got older. I just wonder since they were half kryptonaian and half human and then they had kids with people who were human would that block out the powers of the kids?
This show could’ve gotten seven seasons. Seven! F WB and go, DC Studios! I’m still hoping sometime in the future, we get a DCTV multiverse crossover. They could make it a miniseries, coin it as Elseworlds, bring back the actors of several shows, including the shows they canceled like Swamp Thing or Legends of Tomorrow and end the miniseries by retconning most of the shows into taking place in the same universe. And they can always return to this continuity like have for the DC Animated Universe!
Not true. The show's cancelation had everything to do with CW being sold and them switching over to unscripted programming. Even Bitsie Tulloch said so. And that's not how licensing and networks work. The show wasn't making enough money for the new CW owners liking. The minute they started canceling all the CW DC shows, the writing was on the wall. The cancelation was inevitable.
I disagree about lex's motivations not being reasonable he wanted revenge for bring taken away from his daughter but than becomes more of an excuse to terrorise people which is his issue with superman
I loved Superman and Lois it’s really awesome and badass and personally for me as a Superman fan this show gave me everything I ever wanted, also a bonus seeing Superman have both his son Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy in this and have another son Jordan Kent is really awesome and super interesting that I was excited to see what happens next with awesome show, and this final season was really epic and while I am sad 😢 we are ending this series with this season but damn it they ended this series with a high note and was freaking fantastic and amazing 😻 in my opinion.
It's easily the best superhero show so far. Emotional, inspirational, respect and embrace what a superhero is instead of this edgy crap we've been having (looking at you The Boys). Penguin is great but is about a supervillain and is more a crime drama.
I think it's pretty clear that based upon some of your comments that you either didn't watch the DCEU much or some things slipped past you. For example, Lex in the DCEU is Alexander "Lex" Luthor Jr., not Sr., the usual character that is typically depicted as being Clark's nemesis. Another thing to point out that seemed painfully obvious was that Cavill's depiction in MoS and BvS are of a Superman who is finding his way in the world and is sceptical towards humans as his dad rightly pointed out that humans wouldn't receive him well. I think this is an accurate reaction that people would have if there was ever an actual person with Superman's powers/abilities, they would freak the hell out. So the early depictions of Clark are stand-offish, sceptical and hesitant as a person. It's only then in JL (it was more evident in ZSJL) that he BECOMES that hopeful version of Superman that people know and love, which is that character arc that Snyder seemed to go for. Also, Doomsday does look better in S&L (apart from his skin looking like pork crackling) but it's clear that the budget cut really messed with the animation and movement, which is of course to be expected. Not really sure why you seem to give the S&L version basically complete impunity.
I wasn’t a fan of the CW at first and I only watched the shows that were DC based. But then, Crazy Ex Girlfriend came around. Then my teenage cousin kept suggesting me to watch The 100 so I did. I was somewhat interested in All American but my uncle wanted to watch it so I watched it with him. And it feels the least CW-ish even as a teen drama. I've only seen the pilot of the original Roswell and haven't had time or the at-home wifi to watch it but I did get around to watching Roswell New Mexico which I think is decent. As with Legacies without ever watching TVD or The Originals. And I still think Life Sentence was better than people gave it credit for (granted, I hadn’t watched since it aired and Friendly Space Ninja hated it in his Worst Teen Dramas of All Time video). So yeah, I don't think The CW was all bad. I respect them for making great shows against the odds of low to no budget. After this show, I’m done watching. And All American should’ve ended with the wedding in the season finale. It was perfect!
It's strange that: for years DC TV shows were much much better than their movie (except Batman movies). Green Arrow, Flash, SnL all are successful by critics & rating. Yet WB never tap those talents for their movies. Just imagine if the writers, directors could work on DC's movie....
Not enough are talking about this show, at least we got you praising it. Gave up on most of the dc cw shows but stayed with this one because to me it was on the writing level of smallville.
The bar is set so low that you can say this, that is not an accomplishment. That's like saying this shiny turd shines the brightest, out of all the turds cw has come out with.
End of an Era❤️😔 It started with Superman (Smallville) and now it ended with Superman and Lois The CW DC shows had some hits like Superman and Lois, and yeah it may have had some misses like Batwoman, Supergirl or later seasons of the Flash, but it still played a major part in bringing in a whole generation of DC fans which is truly something special RIP Arrowverse/DC CW Universe I'm going to miss this show so much. Though Im sad that it's ending, Im more thankful for Superman and Lois for giving arguably the BEST MODERN LIVE ACTION SUPERMAN AND LOIS LANE! I remember watching that opening scene, & it truly made me know this show was something special.🥹👋
1. Tom Welling is still the best Superman , Erica Durance is still the best Lois Lane, & Michael Rosenbaum is still the best Lex Luthor. Smallville is still the best live action Superman & no it's not perfect. 2. That last punch Superman hit Lex with, I thought he was gon punch him out of existence.
You just compared a TV series against a movie. Both takes on Superman's death was good. You comparing a two hour 31 minutes film against a 4 season series and sayings its better. They both were good takes on the death of Superman. Things like what you be saying is what keeps the fanbase devided.
The last episode was so "woke" if u didn't catch the woke watch the show again.. Especially when they destroy Superman's fathers Ai in that diamond But The Step Brother brought the woman Ai in the crystal to the Son... its crazy
Remember guys. Dont feel bad about this show beign over. Be happy that they ended the show at their peak, instead of ending up like The Flash by making 6 more season.
Facts because everyone knew Barry was the Flash. Finally everyone became a super hero in the end.
Absolutely, this show went out on a high. And as much as we’ll all miss it I think this is the better way to leave
There were only 3 seasons left, many things left unsolved Superman's brother tahl in biazaro world, Henry and Lana marriage together many things felt left out we could have got few more great season cause
It ended too fast
1) was tahl being villain
2)biazaro world
3) manhaim
4) this lex season

It's fitting that the CW DC era started with Smallville, and ended with Superman and Lois. Starting with Superman and ending with him.
Started WITH Smallville, ended IN Smallville.
Technically it started with christopher reeves superman since he's in the crisis crossover (kingdom come supes) but I hear what you're saying

It's the dress Clark bought her when she won an award, she wanted to get rid of it because (after the cancer) she felt she couldn't wear it again, that it wouldn't fit right and people would stare.
I noticed it too, such a small yet beautiful detail.
It is ho he always saw her in his mind, regardless of how she looked in reality. It's the real Lois, but only for Clark.
That's true Clark sold his entire baseball cards just to make her day feel special that's love and loyalty right there
Yes I thought that. Was surprised no one else was mentioning that while discussing that
Thank you! Thought it was a strange choice to put her in that dress for the final moment-- not that she didn't look great-- but I had completely forgotten about that episode and moment. This makes a lot more sense.

1:55 not only that but it started the trend of having a break after every 1 to 3 episodes then we'd have a week off or however long off until the next aired
You fans don't know what you like in movies and tv series I think all season 1 to 4 was mind blowing it was the best live action superman even better than man of steel
I definitely missed out I just finished the whole series…THE BEST live action Superman
6:40 The Brainiac in the Krypton Tv show was pretty good
While I am glad that they managed to tie everything up in the final episode and made the finale season itself really work, I have a feeling that they were planning to do Darkseid at some point and that even for Brainiac to be future villains but due to budget cuts and shortened to only 4 seasons, they were forced to cut all future plans while some hints and clues to them remained.
All that said, I think it was for the best that they ended the show on 4 seasons and ended on a high note.
Its really the best Superman live action adaptation ever. Imo.
Great show, only show I was watching religiously last 4 years. Thanks for the memories. Tyler and the rest of the cast did a great job. And Doomsday was just the show stopper for me.
Loosing both parents to cancer a decade ago, and having heart issues, the ending really hit close to home 😅
I actually really like this lex luthor, but I do think that a big problem is that he isn't powerful enough. Lex luthor never would be held in a normal jail for 17 years straight. And the other problems with his character I think only exist due to not having enough time
This was by far the best Superman ever -animated, comics, don’t care. They portrayed him as Clark Kent primarily rather than Superman and that really brought Lois to life too
I’m really glad the cw was able to get a good ending to its dc stories with Superman and Lois. In its hay day the cw arrow verse was really something amazing. Even if it tapered off at the end of the last couple shows I’m
Glad they went out on a high note
I like
Season 1
Season 4
Season 2
Season 3 ( not I hate this season, I felt they should show why Bruno fear lex and how this version John Henry killed by Bruno
Lex Luthor: "I will never stop! I will never rest until I destroy everything and everyone that you love, Superman!"
Superman: "You want me to kill you?"
Lex Luthor: "No prison on Earth can hold me! You know that! Come on! KILL ME!!!"
Superman: "NO!!! God knows that I want to! But you don't get to destroy who I am! You will go back to prison and spend the rest of your miserable life in a cage, knowing that you don't deserve to be with your daughter, knowing that the people of Smallville rejected you and beat you, my family beat you, I BEAT YOU!!!"
Yes, this is a reference to Daredevil/Matt Murdock finally defeating Wilson Fisk/Kingpin in the grand finale of Marvel's Daredevil, Season 3.
I was hoping they'd do original concept for the supertwins because the got suits wrong Jordans suit is supposed to be white with blue accents with a red cape and Jon's suit is supposed to have a cape with his leather jacket wrapped around his waist
masterpiece.
Never in my life, would I have given CW the credit for making a high quality Superman show….. strange times indeed.
Great ending... gave me my favorite Superman ending of all time..... second to Reeve's Superman smiling at the camera 📷 at the end of each film
I can buy this as the definitive end to the Arrowverse. Even though this takes place on another universe, i can personally see this set in the same timline of Arrow and the Flash, just set several years after the latters finale.
While I agree that season 2 wasn't as satisfying as Season 1, I have to say, outside of Ally Alston being poorly fleshed out, season 2 gave us some of the best individual moments of the show. Bizarro Superman was peak. We got the Supermen of America. Anderson was actually a pretty compelling villain compared to Ally. We got that fight with Superman taking on the DoD, which was mirrored in the Bizarro world. Speaking of which, we got an entire Bizarro world episode which was brilliantly done. Tal Rho was phenomenal in that season, and the finally gave us one of the most iconic shots of the show with a solar-infused Superman separating two earths with a cinematic overpowered punch. So while season 3 felt more consistent, I feel like season 2 had more iconic standout moments.
I was kinda confused because this Lex also plays the same Lex in the Titans HBO series explaining another Superboy.
Season 2 of Superman and Louis is AMAZING compared to the bad seasons of Flash, Arrow, Legends, and the other shows (minus Stargirl.)
This was absolutely brilliant , and what a fantastic cast . For me it was where they took superman , we’ve never had this before it was truly a great way to finish , if there are any awards to be had for the story telling then this deserves one 👏👏👏
Actually the creators said if they had the opportunity to make more seasons they had big plans for this version of Brainiac and they was also gonna do Darkseid
crazy how this show is levels above dawn of justice
I could never get into the Arrowverse, although I did try on multiple occasions. The shows were getting a lot of praise online in various forums, but I always thought the writing and character work were somewhat cringy and immaturish. Maybe I wasn't in the targeted demographic, but those shows weren't for "me." Fast forward to 2021 with the debut of Superman & Lois, and I was reminded why Superman is my favorite superhero. This show was phenomenal from beginning to end, and I will miss it.
When can we expect part 2 of your perfect dc cinematic universe and nice video
Cavanaugh is a great actor and did a great job as G Gordon Godfrey but I personally like that character to remain British and very posh. It adds to the smarminess of the character and better imitates his real world counterparts of Pierce Morgan and Sebastian Gorcha
Ultron as the mcu main villain part 2 coming soon?
If only DC was smart and took the Arrowverse to Max and what they call could of been with that kind of budget
So I wonder with Jon and Jordan having kids..will all their kids get powers or a just a few. I’m assuming Jon and Jordan got more powerful as they got older. I just wonder since they were half kryptonaian and half human and then they had kids with people who were human would that block out the powers of the kids?
This show could’ve gotten seven seasons. Seven! F WB and go, DC Studios! I’m still hoping sometime in the future, we get a DCTV multiverse crossover. They could make it a miniseries, coin it as Elseworlds, bring back the actors of several shows, including the shows they canceled like Swamp Thing or Legends of Tomorrow and end the miniseries by retconning most of the shows into taking place in the same universe. And they can always return to this continuity like have for the DC Animated Universe!
Not true. The show's cancelation had everything to do with CW being sold and them switching over to unscripted programming. Even Bitsie Tulloch said so. And that's not how licensing and networks work. The show wasn't making enough money for the new CW owners liking. The minute they started canceling all the CW DC shows, the writing was on the wall. The cancelation was inevitable.
It had nothing to do with WB or DC. The new owners of CW, Nexstar are the ones that cancelled all of these shows because they're cheap.
The head of WB admitted that they didn't want more than one live action Superman onscreen! The CW was just the final nail in the coffin.
@@AJ-xc4qe Produce a single legitimate source quoting the head of WBD saying that. That was speculation put out there by "scooper" types.
@@Mirakulus9 my mistake, the CW president
Everything you mentioned in this video both positive and negative were 100% my exact thoughts as well.
I disagree about lex's motivations not being reasonable he wanted revenge for bring taken away from his daughter but than becomes more of an excuse to terrorise people which is his issue with superman
I loved Superman and Lois it’s really awesome and badass and personally for me as a Superman fan this show gave me everything I ever wanted, also a bonus seeing Superman have both his son Jonathan Samuel Kent superboy in this and have another son Jordan Kent is really awesome and super interesting that I was excited to see what happens next with awesome show, and this final season was really epic and while I am sad 😢 we are ending this series with this season but damn it they ended this series with a high note and was freaking fantastic and amazing 😻 in my opinion.
It's easily the best superhero show so far. Emotional, inspirational, respect and embrace what a superhero is instead of this edgy crap we've been having (looking at you The Boys). Penguin is great but is about a supervillain and is more a crime drama.
I think it's pretty clear that based upon some of your comments that you either didn't watch the DCEU much or some things slipped past you. For example, Lex in the DCEU is Alexander "Lex" Luthor Jr., not Sr., the usual character that is typically depicted as being Clark's nemesis. Another thing to point out that seemed painfully obvious was that Cavill's depiction in MoS and BvS are of a Superman who is finding his way in the world and is sceptical towards humans as his dad rightly pointed out that humans wouldn't receive him well. I think this is an accurate reaction that people would have if there was ever an actual person with Superman's powers/abilities, they would freak the hell out. So the early depictions of Clark are stand-offish, sceptical and hesitant as a person. It's only then in JL (it was more evident in ZSJL) that he BECOMES that hopeful version of Superman that people know and love, which is that character arc that Snyder seemed to go for.
Also, Doomsday does look better in S&L (apart from his skin looking like pork crackling) but it's clear that the budget cut really messed with the animation and movement, which is of course to be expected. Not really sure why you seem to give the S&L version basically complete impunity.
Remember everyone this isn't an arrowverse show
I think there was only one shot of Doomsday that actually looked bad, which was in the finale
Bro make a video on Creature Commandoes Ep 1 & 2 🔥❤️
I wasn’t a fan of the CW at first and I only watched the shows that were DC based. But then, Crazy Ex Girlfriend came around. Then my teenage cousin kept suggesting me to watch The 100 so I did. I was somewhat interested in All American but my uncle wanted to watch it so I watched it with him. And it feels the least CW-ish even as a teen drama. I've only seen the pilot of the original Roswell and haven't had time or the at-home wifi to watch it but I did get around to watching Roswell New Mexico which I think is decent. As with Legacies without ever watching TVD or The Originals. And I still think Life Sentence was better than people gave it credit for (granted, I hadn’t watched since it aired and Friendly Space Ninja hated it in his Worst Teen Dramas of All Time video). So yeah, I don't think The CW was all bad. I respect them for making great shows against the odds of low to no budget. After this show, I’m done watching. And All American should’ve ended with the wedding in the season finale. It was perfect!
It's strange that: for years DC TV shows were much much better than their movie (except Batman movies). Green Arrow, Flash, SnL all are successful by critics & rating. Yet WB never tap those talents for their movies. Just imagine if the writers, directors could work on DC's movie....
Not enough are talking about this show, at least we got you praising it. Gave up on most of the dc cw shows but stayed with this one because to me it was on the writing level of smallville.
Superman & Lois > Arrow and The Flash
Superman & Lois is the best show and it gave Superman a perfect ending. Too bad DC fans are complaining but that's all they do.
They’ll do this good again
I wish Jon and Jordan helped fight Lex more
The bar is set so low that you can say this, that is not an accomplishment. That's like saying this shiny turd shines the brightest, out of all the turds cw has come out with.
I agree about Lex.
Yo Lex’s daughter is from Agents of Shield
Good God this review is so critical good grief!!!
Lois getting cancer is the worst idea of all time
But Superman always was powered by the sun why did they act like he just found this out?🤦🏾
I liked this show I didn’t like season 2 as much tho

End of an Era❤️😔
It started with Superman (Smallville) and now it ended with Superman and Lois
The CW DC shows had some hits like Superman and Lois, and yeah it may have had some misses like Batwoman, Supergirl or later seasons of the Flash, but it still played a major part in bringing in a whole generation of DC fans which is truly something special
RIP Arrowverse/DC CW Universe
I'm going to miss this show so much. Though Im sad that it's ending, Im more thankful for Superman and Lois for giving arguably the BEST MODERN LIVE ACTION SUPERMAN AND LOIS LANE! I remember watching that opening scene, & it truly made me know this show was something special.🥹👋
Plz make more reviews on this show
1. Tom Welling is still the best Superman , Erica Durance is still the best Lois Lane, & Michael Rosenbaum is still the best Lex Luthor. Smallville is still the best live action Superman & no it's not perfect.
2. That last punch Superman hit Lex with, I thought he was gon punch him out of existence.
Superman and lois lex is pretty weak imo I've said it since season 3
Season 2 is the worse season, in my opinion!
You just compared a TV series against a movie. Both takes on Superman's death was good. You comparing a two hour 31 minutes film against a 4 season series and sayings its better. They both were good takes on the death of Superman. Things like what you be saying is what keeps the fanbase devided.
The last episode was so "woke" if u didn't catch the woke watch the show again.. Especially when they destroy Superman's fathers Ai in that diamond But The Step Brother brought the woman Ai in the crystal to the Son... its crazy
Am I the only one really bothered by Krypto not being white
Ill always Pick Smallville over anything else the CW has ever done. They had some good stuff and some really crap shows like Batwoman....
I loved this Doomsday but im so tired of villians being written to have a sympathetic tone. And alot of people forget SyFy Doomsday.
Perfect DC Universe Phase 2 coming soon?
Chapter 1 literally Released Yesterday.
@@councilmanbanks6528 Guess it's a testament to how good that first part was.
