Tyler does one thing that is the hardest part for any superman actor to pull off. Being Clark Kent. You don’t only see the man struggling with real human emotions. You see a deeper depth of somebody who knows what he’s capable of still having to show emotional, maturity and vulnerability
These scenes definitely show Clark's humanity as he's talking to these patients of chemotherapy. Clark cares about their experiences with cancer while also worried about his own wife's fight with cancer. Sad thing is that Clark doesn't have to worry about getting cancer, which only makes him that much unaware of how hard it is for a normal person to fight against cancer and thus increases the worry for what can happen to Lois. Superman is capable of many things, but curing cancer is currently not one of them, with his powers or Kryptonian technology.
No. Superman’s other weakness is cancer. If he has cancer, he's done because it will weaken him slowly. Bizzaro was already weak against the yellow solar sun on Superman’s Earth and it is more like cancer on Bizzaro. It sucks, but that's what Superman and Bizzaro are afraid of cancer.
I am surprised that kryptonian technology can’t deal with cancer. Mind you, I suppose they have to stick to the storyline as much as possible to keep it realistic.
@@danivarius not just for the storyline but in all forms of media Clark has tried to use Kryptonian technology to fight cancer and it all comes back there is nothing he can do. i think its to keep him grounded. you have this god like character how can you ground him to make him more appealing.
Clark does need to worry about any Kryptonian diseases. Heck he has to worry about potential side effects of how he gains his powers. In the comics he's absorbed too much solar radiation and his cells lost equilibrium and turn him into a hulk or in the case of All Star, his cells started dying. If Kryptonians can get cancer, his body may not not be able to correct it. His own powers might even make it more difficult to fight.
This hit hard. I lost my mom to metastatic breast cancer and she was so strong. She dealt with it for 10 years. My mom acted like how lois does in the show. My mom was strong until her last breath.
A few days ago, I read somewhere that to write this scene, they sat down with and talked to cancer survivors and those fighting it right now. They wanted to accurately convey it so they just let the people talk. That's why this scene is so raw and real... because it WAS.
Wow, that "pull" discussion is so validating! When I was battling cancer I researched a lot of people's experiences and it seemed like everyone of them had a drive to survive and a fairly positive attitude. Meanwhile, every day of chemo, even on my good days, maybe especially on my good days, I wanted to quit. I was ready to give up on life and it seemed like I was the only one who felt that way, which was also discouraging. So I'm glad to finally hear someone address that very real battle. I didn't have the internal drive but prayer, family, and good friends helped me to keep going.
I really love the scene of the two ladies asking Clark how he was doing its such a sweet moment obviously Lois is dealing with the worst of this situation, but Clark is still hurting alot ,watching his wife getting sick, and going through chemo. I'm glad they are exploring Clark's feeling about this, it must be strange to be both the strongest thing in the entire world, but also completely powerless to help the one of people you care about the most.
That's how you write good Superman. Don't (only/always) face him off with something he can punch... put him against something he cannot. Something that all his strength and powers are useless against.
I just love how emotional Clark got when asked how he is coping with it. Because when you look at him as Clark Kent you see the caring and down-to-earth Father and Husband who always has the backs of everyone he loves without ever asking for anything in return, then you look at him as Superman and he's this invincible god covered by invulnerable flesh being a man who not only has the eyes of the world always on him but the favour of countless cosmic beings who praise him for his work. Then seeing him here you see a new side to him that of a man who is pushing himself to be strong for his best friend and significant other despite the fact that right now more than ever he wants someone to look after him, who saves the hero when they need help. I'm gonna be honest I'm happy I gave this show a chance because they have handled the characters of both Superman and Clark Kent incredibly well.
Tyler is the best Superman because he is the best Clark a Clark can be. Such an empathetic and compassionate character, he is alien, yet, the most human of us.
Save this show at all cost! I love the action scenes and everything but what I love most is the realism in the show, as well as showing Superman’s other character of just being a man (Clark). This scene moved me and I want to say this is my favorite Superman now.
This why superman and lois works their not afraid to show superman as a man, a man that has to come to grips with that the love of his life, the mother of his children and his best friend is really sick and their nothing he can do about it.
This was an emotional watch for me because I had an aunt who died of pancreatic cancer they didn’t even tell her that she had cancer or give her the option to fight it because she was in 4th stage and in her 60s-70s when she was diagnosed. The doctors only told her sons and daughters that she had 4th stage pancreatic cancer and they told the rest of our family but not her. Imagine not knowing what’s wrong with you and your family tells you that you’re going to be fine but you only get worse and worse as time passes on.
Are you by any chance Asian? I believe this is very common in Asian and middle eastern cultures (I have no idea if that's you're real face in the picture, so...)

glad that this show is not part of the Arrowverse and before anyone comments, this is a standalone show, so no strings attached but its own universe, I like this show to focus on Superman's family only and leave any Arrowverse references or easter eggs out the window for good.
As someone who had a biopsy cause I found a small bump this hits hard. Luckily for me the results came out negative. But the “not knowing” part & waiting for results seeing a breast taped it does something to you physically like she said. It does change you, how you deal with the change and those you have around you makes the difference.
This conversation will be a call back in the finale about letting go and death .. when he battles doomsday... this is what will give him the strength to give every ounce of himself to save the city ,Hobbs Bay, and his family
I lost my dad to brain cancer 8 years ago and there's still times when I'm crying at night for him. I don't watch much Superman but this one tugged at me.
I've always been a fan of anything "Superman" ever since 1958. I'll be 70 yrs old this July 2023. I first got Leukemia Cancer in July 2017, then Prostate Cancer in August 2018 finally I got Colon Cancer in 2020 ( My colon Burst from Tumors ) I've lost count how many times I was in a chair like that. This clip is as close to what it is like as anything I've seen. If you know anybody that is going thru this please be patient with them because the mood swings are unpredictable and the Depression can be deep. My heat goes out to anyone going thru this and their families.
Not long ago my very long time GF (40+ years) had a cervical cancer scare that did lead to a full hysterectomy. Even though there was no cancer, this resonates very real to me. I am grateful to the writers of this show.
Theoretically can't he just combine his X-ray vision, Super Speed, Microscopic vision(idk the correct name) and Heat vision to burn and destroy every cancerous cell in her body? Way more effective than chemo👍🏻
I had a coworker I was really close to at my first job after the military. Sweet lady. She ended up with brain cancer, and literally had no one. We loved on the same street so I offered to work 3rd shift with her so I can drive her to her appointments. I worked 3rd shift for 4 months.
@@AngelXO96 she was really nice. She’s doing really well. She actually met someone while in a support group. They moved to Maine and she travels with him on a boat. We just celebrated 4 birthdays last time I saw her. And she got to meet two of my three kids for the first time.
My friend: superman is has no weakness. Dude literally can stop everything. He's a dull character. Me: he can't stop the worst things life can give one person.
I honestly don't know what they'll do with Lois. They're treating this subplot so carefully and seriously that i forget what kind of show I'm watching.
My father had throat cancer and mother had breast cancer. Both are semi ok now, thankfully retired. But, man, fuck cancer. I cried during this because I couldn't be there for my mom when it happened, but happy to go with my dad when he had to go to his sessions.
Very hard for me to watch without getting very emotional. My dad battled cancer twice. Luckily he beat it but soon after that, I lost two incredible friends of mine to breast cancer. That hurt and loss has stayed with me. I truly would give my life to have a cure for the awful and destructive disease.
I lost one of my dearest friend to cancer. I was 800 miles away when she passed and I felt it when she made her transition. When my husband called to tell me she had passed I told him I already knew and I told him what time. 8 yrs and I just cried watching this video. I miss her.
Life is weird like that, I once woke up with a ferocious pain in my chest. I found out a few days later my aunt that lived overseas died of a heart attack at around the same time I had the pain
I respect how much care the show is putting into this story and that they spoke to people and groups that understand the reality of dealing with cancer. Bitsie and Tyler have been outstanding this season.
@@giosy0072 I do because she's a key character, Superman & Superman shows are all about hope. Especially this show ends its seasons with main characters in a positive position. I think we're in for a rough ride and I'm worried that Superman/Clark may compromise his moral compass and deal with Bruno to try save Lois, and deals like that never end well.
I know the scene is supposed to be about how cancer is something out of Clark’s control but it’s possible that Lex has found a cure and he’s keeping it for himself. Just a hypothesis.
I hope not. This seems like a struggle that will be a great addition to the show's story. Using the blood feels like a cop out, a deus ex machina in the worst way.
This shows vulnerability which is the most important thing about superhero stories, beside your powers, you can´t prevent or fight things that go beyond your powers.
This is how a drama show succeeds. Actually being grounded and at least somewhat realistic. Compare this to flash where none of it is grounded nor realistic and super chippy and corny. Became a very cringey show. This scene was actually very heartbreaking and actually felt somewhat real. That’s what I really love about this show.
@@Crescentknight8189 actually if it kills every single cancer cell than the treatement can be very easy ahead rhey can check after every few months if it has returned
Got to love the story for Superman. A third or fourth way to hurt him is his family. Meteorite, magic, other aliens, family. Season 1 had to deal w his sons finding out they were lied to. Season 3 is battling cancer.
I love this the pain and emotions Clark has here is a god reduced to nothing because this is something he cannot fight yet you see it in his eyes he wishes he could help them some how but in the end all he can do is listen to there stories and be there for Lois.
Stuff like this is why this is the best Superman we've ever gotten onscreen. It isn't about the flying and the smashing and the heat vision; it isn't about the super, it's about the man.
This reminds me of the 1978 Superman. After Jonathan Kent dies of a heart attack, young Clark says (paraphrasing) "All the things I can do and I couldn't do save him."
The cancer Lois has is what killed my wife. I appreciate the way they are handling it and giving some information. Elizabeth Tulloch and Tyler Hoechlin are doing a great job of portraying a couple going through this.
My loved one is the one who went through it and I just had a front row seat, but damned if these scenes don't feel to me like using an incredibly painful thing that real people go through as a plot point.
A lot of my family have died to cancer, on both sides of my grandparents. I watched them get sick, go through all the emotions you get when you get the news that the disease will kill you eventually, and I watched them all, one by one, give up. My Nana swore after her first bout that she beat, she would never go through chemo again. She would rather die. I was 12 then, at 16, it came back. I buried her at 17. I watched her waste away. It's horrific. And the worst part? When people get that sick? They get NASTY. Completely horrible. My Nana was begging us to kill her, to let her die by the end. But euthanasia is illegal in my country. Which is why I am an beliver in it. Especially for those with terminal illnesses. Better they die quick and on their own terms, than suffer months and years in agony until it turns them into something they never were. Turn them cruel from the constant pain of living. My Nana was my best friend. By the end, she screamed vile insults and hatred at me. So yeah, cancer for the sick is positively horrible. But most people forget those who stand by and care for them, that suffer the abuse because they know their loved ones are sick and don't actually mean it. The one who bury them and feel RELIEF that they're gone, because they're not HURTING anymore. I was a teenager. But I understood die and suicide better than anyone else my age.
My mother died of cancer this month in 2006 (actually a week away matter of fact), the only piece of peace I get out of it, is she didn't suffer too long with it. Maybe a year or so of real suffering tops, as opposed to the years upon years of suffering, I've seen in many people
Got to be difficult for a man who does his best to save everyone, but can't do anything about people that so desperately need help right in front of him. My fav scene in the Superman comics, and I can't even remember where its from, is him pulling someone from the water onto a bridge and then flying off to rescue someone else in some other place because his super hearing picked up on calls of distress. Lois is on the bridge and she says: "You can't save everyone" Superman resolutely flies off, doesn't look back but says: "I have to try"
My girlfriend has acute myelogen leukemia, she is currently in treatment. I hope that she will be one of the lucky ones, that she gets to live for many years. I wish i could take the leukemia from her and into my body but i can't 😭
May 16th, 1993. Worst day of my life, day I lost my dad from it. April 16th, 2004 for, second worst day-when my mom found out she had it. She lived though.
I have always seen superhero movies like some action comedy movie & at the end superhero saves the day. But looking at this video seeing superman, who is considered close to god coz of his mind blowing powers being powerless & sad & human looking at what cancer can do I just feel soooo sad for him. Having cancer plot in this series for Lois I never thought this would happen & am sad tht I can’t see season 3 here in India. I hope either Prime or Netflix or Disney + brings this series so the fans here in India can watch
He can use his heat vision to excise a peace of th brain rendering them unable to use their powers so he can help with brain cancer don't know about other types
Actually, it was revealed that Superman & Lois is 'not' part of the Arrowverse, which is why no one saw the Flash or the 'Legends' come to help out during the last major storyline that literally involved the entire planet. Other than that, this was a very moving episode. It's not easy to find out that someone close to you has cancer, and even more heartbreaking when they lose that fight. I had a fiend who died from cancer, and it was so sudden, that it nearly destroyed me. I fell in love with Jenna at the wrong time, and never had a chance to tell her that. For those who suffer from cancer, I will not offer you prayers, but instead, give what I can financially towards the fight against 'all' cancer and the hope of a cure.
This series has been pretty great aside from some minor issues but when Clark said they don't have Kryptonian technology that can help Lois, I rolled my eyes. They have advanced technology that can literally revive people from death and can actually cure cancer in the comics. I would have liked some sort of explaination like how Kryptonians don't have a disease like cancer and anything that might help has never been tested on anyone and would be far to dangerous. Anything would have been better than, 'nah can't help'.

I know the scene is supposed to be about how cancer is something out of Clark’s control but it’s possible that Lex has found a cure and he’s keeping it for himself. Just a hypothesis.
Love this scene
This hits me hardest because I lost my grandpa and grandma of that
I have a feeling Mannheim’s superpowered blood treatment will come into play with Lois’ cancer.
Me too my guess is Clark might get the idea to use his blood.
@@Mcherri that would be the dumbest reason a human can’t survive that watch the whloe epsidoe lol the ending shows you what there using his blood for
I hope not. This seems like a struggle that will be a great addition to the show's story. Using the blood feels like a cop out, a deus ex machina in the worst way.
Even the greatest hero has his match. I love this rendition of superman , more human than hero.
This shows vulnerability which is the most important thing about superhero stories, beside your powers, you can´t prevent or fight things that go beyond your powers.
It must be hard for clark. Because hes pretty much immortal.
He can age, he ages slower but he does age
@@DgardsGaming He only ages up to his physical peak. He does not age after that as long as he gets energy from a yellow sun.
This is how a drama show succeeds. Actually being grounded and at least somewhat realistic. Compare this to flash where none of it is grounded nor realistic and super chippy and corny. Became a very cringey show. This scene was actually very heartbreaking and actually felt somewhat real. That’s what I really love about this show.
He can use his laser vision to kill each cancer cell with pinpoint accuracy
That doesn’t stop it from coming back
@@Crescentknight8189 actually if it kills every single cancer cell than the treatement can be very easy ahead rhey can check after every few months if it has returned
With StarLabs and all these high tech corporations, I'd expect a cancer cure years ago.
There may not be a Star Labs in Superman and Lois' universe
Starlabs is Just place were nerds jerk off to how fast the flash is
There's still Argus and John diggle.
@@jkjordon1 didn't think about Argus
"Of all my powers, I could not save him "... Christopher Reeve-Superman movie
That is really heartbreaking to watch
I can understand where those women are going through my uncle and my grandmother both went through cancer.
The title just reminds me of Goku saying
"I heard your cancer is pretty strong, let me fight it."
Got to love the story for Superman. A third or fourth way to hurt him is his family.
Meteorite, magic, other aliens, family.
Season 1 had to deal w his sons finding out they were lied to. Season 3 is battling cancer.
I love this the pain and emotions Clark has here is a god reduced to nothing because this is something he cannot fight yet you see it in his eyes he wishes he could help them some how but in the end all he can do is listen to there stories and be there for Lois.
People will whine superman isn't relatable ans then meme and joke about Lois's cancer storyline
This is in atleast to me the best clark clent ever play on the screen both dceu and dcau and one of the top three superman
Stuff like this is why this is the best Superman we've ever gotten onscreen. It isn't about the flying and the smashing and the heat vision; it isn't about the super, it's about the man.
Man episode 11’s climax really hits hard
You’d think Clark could take Lois to the Fortress of Solitude and have its computers scan Lois and figure out a cure 🤔
It won't work. Superman said that his mother can't do anything.
In the episode where Lois tells her dad that she has cancer Clark mentions that Clark's mom said that there was nothing that she could do
They’ve wrote this out as a solution in an earlier episode
Why would you even assume the Fortress of Solitude would have a cure to cancer? If it did, Superman could've cured cancer ages ago.
I hope we see more of those two whenever clark and Lois go to chemo together
The fucking plot twist in yesterday's episode we felt bad for that person. whoever is writing the show is a genius!
Im sorry but this title made me laugh with the thumbnail of his bewildered look. Like "Im superman Ill handle this! Damn cancer got hands."
With all Technology in the HQ of JLA, I can't believe that the members like Superman, Batman and WW couldn't find a cure for cancer
This reminds me of the 1978 Superman.
After Jonathan Kent dies of a heart attack, young Clark says (paraphrasing)
"All the things I can do and I couldn't do save him."
This… this hits too close for me
Absolutely…….
The cancer Lois has is what killed my wife. I appreciate the way they are handling it and giving some information. Elizabeth Tulloch and Tyler Hoechlin are doing a great job of portraying a couple going through this.
Goku: I hear this cancer guy is pretty strong, let me at ‘im
My loved one is the one who went through it and I just had a front row seat, but damned if these scenes don't feel to me like using an incredibly painful thing that real people go through as a plot point.
The best Superman/Clark of this era. Big flashy movies do not compare to this scene, do not compare to the whole show.
A lot of my family have died to cancer, on both sides of my grandparents. I watched them get sick, go through all the emotions you get when you get the news that the disease will kill you eventually, and I watched them all, one by one, give up. My Nana swore after her first bout that she beat, she would never go through chemo again. She would rather die. I was 12 then, at 16, it came back. I buried her at 17. I watched her waste away. It's horrific. And the worst part? When people get that sick? They get NASTY. Completely horrible. My Nana was begging us to kill her, to let her die by the end. But euthanasia is illegal in my country. Which is why I am an beliver in it. Especially for those with terminal illnesses. Better they die quick and on their own terms, than suffer months and years in agony until it turns them into something they never were. Turn them cruel from the constant pain of living. My Nana was my best friend. By the end, she screamed vile insults and hatred at me.
So yeah, cancer for the sick is positively horrible. But most people forget those who stand by and care for them, that suffer the abuse because they know their loved ones are sick and don't actually mean it. The one who bury them and feel RELIEF that they're gone, because they're not HURTING anymore.
I was a teenager. But I understood die and suicide better than anyone else my age.
My mother died of cancer this month in 2006 (actually a week away matter of fact), the only piece of peace I get out of it, is she didn't suffer too long with it. Maybe a year or so of real suffering tops, as opposed to the years upon years of suffering, I've seen in many people
Fun fact: in the comics he tried to cure cancer
I would have thought Clark knew about cancer before this
Wow
Cancer is one thing even Superman can’t save anyone from
Got to be difficult for a man who does his best to save everyone, but can't do anything about people that so desperately need help right in front of him.
My fav scene in the Superman comics, and I can't even remember where its from, is him pulling someone from the water onto a bridge and then flying off to rescue someone else in some other place because his super hearing picked up on calls of distress.
Lois is on the bridge and she says:
"You can't save everyone"
Superman resolutely flies off, doesn't look back but says:
"I have to try"
My girlfriend has acute myelogen leukemia, she is currently in treatment. I hope that she will be one of the lucky ones, that she gets to live for many years. I wish i could take the leukemia from her and into my body but i can't 😭
May 16th, 1993. Worst day of my life, day I lost my dad from it. April 16th, 2004 for, second worst day-when my mom found out she had it. She lived though.
I lost half my family due to cancer it really does suck
I have always seen superhero movies like some action comedy movie & at the end superhero saves the day. But looking at this video seeing superman, who is considered close to god coz of his mind blowing powers being powerless & sad & human looking at what cancer can do I just feel soooo sad for him. Having cancer plot in this series for Lois I never thought this would happen & am sad tht I can’t see season 3 here in India. I hope either Prime or Netflix or Disney + brings this series so the fans here in India can watch
If arrowverse superman Lois face the same problem, the flash and supergirl will time travel to the future for their Lois.
cw doesn't deserve this show .
Plot twist :Kancer is a villain made of Superman Solar Cancerous cells and human DNA(similar to Doomsday).Guessin Lois plays a part in the villain.
Huh. I had 8 chemo treatments and never felt that the cancer was here to kill me. So I never had any desire to "give in". Guess for dramatic reasons?
Depends on the individual and the level of depression that they experience...
He can use his heat vision to excise a peace of th brain rendering them unable to use their powers so he can help with brain cancer don't know about other types
Never did Clark need his best friends Bruce and Diana for support than this scene
Actually, it was revealed that Superman & Lois is 'not' part of the Arrowverse, which is why no one saw the Flash or the 'Legends' come to help out during the last major storyline that literally involved the entire planet.
Other than that, this was a very moving episode. It's not easy to find out that someone close to you has cancer, and even more heartbreaking when they lose that fight. I had a fiend who died from cancer, and it was so sudden, that it nearly destroyed me. I fell in love with Jenna at the wrong time, and never had a chance to tell her that. For those who suffer from cancer, I will not offer you prayers, but instead, give what I can financially towards the fight against 'all' cancer and the hope of a cure.
I like how they are bringing awareness to cancer and how bad it really is but why write for Lois to get it 🤦🏽♂️we all know how the story arc will end
This series has been pretty great aside from some minor issues but when Clark said they don't have Kryptonian technology that can help Lois, I rolled my eyes. They have advanced technology that can literally revive people from death and can actually cure cancer in the comics.
I would have liked some sort of explaination like how Kryptonians don't have a disease like cancer and anything that might help has never been tested on anyone and would be far to dangerous. Anything would have been better than, 'nah can't help'.
Goku: lemme fight it!
I lost my grandmother to breast cancer
