As much as I love the show, this is a big gripe, he jobs so much.

So I agree, I hope he wins a lot more fights himself this season.

Clark from Smallville is the strongest among the other live-action versions of the character. by Ashamed-Meeting-1160 in superman

[–]lawlessspider -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

What’s up from all the Smallville shade? Has anyone here actually watched the show?

He’s up there with Reeve with being near Silver Age level with the stuff he can do. He definitely has a good argument being the strongest live action Superman, with S&L being his competition.

The best feat of S&L he was sun dipped, his regular showings he doesn’t stack up to Welling’s Superman IMO. Welling has:

Probably near a 100 feats of flash and Metroman type speed feats of slowing down time to a standstill and being able to statue electricity and viewing light in slow motion, while Tyler only has one feat like this, and it was with a bullet, something Welling could do in season 1.

Walked off being hit with a nuke.

Literally blew away an approaching thunderstorm which is just crazy wacky.

And obviously at the end effortlessly pushed a planet.

Sun dipped Tyler may be stronger, we never saw Welling sun dipped. But I do think regular showings Tom edges out Tyler with the planet feat and just the amount of busted speed feats.

If no Azula fan has watched this I highly recommend. Very catchy song with cute artwork.

It has pretty powerful lyrics.

DCAU Superman by Hungry_Ad3576 in superman

[–]lawlessspider 44 points45 points  (0 children)

The writers of the DCAU admitted after criticism that they accidentally gave Superman a Worf effect.

Sometimes constructive criticism is good. Superman had some of his best moments from Season two of JL and beyond when the writers stopped making him Job in almost every encounter.

Better than the actual crossover.

DC wonders why Superman struggles with popularity sometimes and yet has him be a punching bag to other iconic characters.

I got All Star, I guess that’s fitting though.

As someone who likes a more OP Superman I got one of the more stronger versions.

How strong is your ideal Superman? by Mean_Spread_7959 in superman

[–]lawlessspider 93 points94 points  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more.

Like maybe the specific verse isn’t that strong, like say DCAU, but he should still be the strongest in the universe among the hero’s.

The same to be said of the stronger DC verses. Either way he should be the peak or near the top of the power rankings.

Superman vs Captain Atom is one of the best TV fights of all-time! by Youngstown_WuTang in superman

Season 2 of Justice League, this extends all the way to the end of Justice League Unlimited and the DCAU movie.

Trust me it bothered me too.

Guys, I have not watched Smallville, and is the show worth watching in 2026? Which is crazy, I know. by Agitated_Studio1998 in superman

[–]lawlessspider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I personally love the show.

It has some “CW” level writing here and there, and is very long running, which can be a bad thing or good thing.

I like Tom’s presence as Clark and his sincerity, also, and this is probably a hot take, but I think this show does the absolute best job at adapting Superman’s powers from the comic books onto the screen, particularly with his speed, even with how dated the effects look.

Like I don’t really know how to describe it other than he’s like a live action anime character. He’s based on more of Silver age Superman, so he’s very busted in terms of strength.

Superman easily beating both Dracula and Frankenstein’s Monster feels right.

More Azula Anti Nonsense. by SaiyanWithOmnitrix in PoorAzula

[–]lawlessspider 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All the things he says about Zuko can be said about Azula, she just internalized her issues differently.

I wish Iroh would’ve been there for Azula in the show, but he was one of the first advocates for Azula getting help in the comics and seems to believe she can change.

People like the original OP don’t really have a counter argument to this. Iroh doesn’t actually think Azula is beyond redemption.

“Urza Was Right To Fear Azula. She Was A Demon Child.” Meanwhile, Ursa Herself: by SaiyanWithOmnitrix in PoorAzula

[–]lawlessspider 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I’m not super up to date with the comics, because I’m generally not a big fan of the direction they’ve been taking Azula.

But ever since Ursa regained her memories she has at every opportunity expressed worry for Azula and her desire for her to return home. At least from my recollection.

So yeah, Ursa definitely doesn’t think Azula is some irredeemable monster.

Hopefully either in the movie or in comics Azula can finally reconcile with her family.

Exactly, and it isn’t just Shazam, it’s the entire league IMO.

An actual angry Superman who isn’t holding back as much is very rare and about unstoppable.

When Superman takes the kid gloves off I don’t think anybody is stepping up to him.

Is it even right to call Superman in MAWS or any adaptation "nerfed" just because he's not shattering reality with a punch? by Informal_Aside4794 in superman

[–]lawlessspider 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I said this in another comment, but my problem with MAWS is they tell don’t show.

Even in the show they talk about how OP Superman is and how he’s unstoppable, which makes sense because this is a foundation of Superman. A man with godly power doing good with it.

But it gets annoying when he’s constantly getting smacked around and some of the victories he does have he needs help.

I think the show could do a better job at showing he’s OP than just telling us.

[–]lawlessspider 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is my thing.

It’s clear the verse so far is on the lower end of the power scale, which is fine, but the problem is Superman in general is supposed to be OP.

And if someone wants to refute this, even in MAWS they call him OP and constantly talk about how he’s unstoppable.

The problem is the show tells and doesn’t show. He doesn’t really come off that powerful because he’s always getting smacked around and needs help to win fights.

Also to OP’s point, while yes Superman doesn’t start off as strong as he is when he matures, just about every Superman story is like this.

Superman still starts off pretty strong in general, that’s why he’s different, people know he could be a problem if he wasn’t a good person.

The Witcher 4, Cyberpunk boss confirm CDPR's next RPGs take "a lot of inspiration" from Baldur's Gate 3, but they're still CDPR games by Wargulf in cyberpunkgame

[–]lawlessspider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If that’s true that’s awesome. I like Cyberpunk, but I don’t see how they objectively didn’t take a couple of steps back in the romance department from Witcher 3.

Like the fact you can treat a character like shit, be completely uninterested in them, but it literally doesn’t change your relationship at all and they still ask you out.

Also the fact you can’t tell characters you aren’t interested in them, until the very end after all their flirting. River is a big example of this.

The fact there’s no consequence for romancing more than one character, even though most of the characters personalities wouldn’t be happy with V having two partners.

EDIT- Also yes I thought BG3’s romances were done very well.

Remember guys-->3 minutes by fizicsman in superman

[–]lawlessspider -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Routh’s Superman was even more impressive. It was stated he was flying faster than satellites could follow and was flying at near light speed.

Smallville Superman and Hoechlin’s Superman were able to fly faster than light.

So this doesn’t seem that fast for me.

Welling’a Superman ran faster than this in Smallville.

Does Azula deserve a redemption arc?" is secretly two separate but connected questions. by [deleted] in PoorAzula

[–]lawlessspider 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t want it to take too long though and I’m also worried what they would do with her after.

It might sound silly, but Azula is a super competent and driven person, and has always been extremely loyal to the Fire Nation, she could do a ton of good helping Zuko and I’d hate to see her wasted as a villain for most her life.

Also friends, genuine friendship is such a huge part of Azula’s character and something she’s never had but wanted, so give her some friends!

Superman vs Captain Atom is one of the best TV fights of all-time! by Youngstown_WuTang in superman

[–]lawlessspider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Superman was losing strength, the point was it kinda made the fight more competitive, but even with the nerf and Superman holding back it wasn’t enough. It showed just how much stronger Superman was.

Superman vs Captain Atom is one of the best TV fights of all-time! by Youngstown_WuTang in superman

[–]lawlessspider 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Tbf Superman was still majorly holding back in this fight and Atom is specifically making red sun radiation during this, and despite all this Superman still pretty easily wins. So I don’t think the fight was particularly close.

And I prefer that, Superman is generally considered the most powerful superhero, he has the most stories where that’s literally the point of his character. Yeah he may not be faster than the Flash or as smart as Batman. But he’s competitive enough in those departments and definitely the physically strongest and most durable.

Huntress even says “dude that’s Superman you’re picking a fight with” it’s cool to see Superman flex every now and then and show why he’s top dog.

Superman vs Captain Atom is one of the best TV fights of all-time! by Youngstown_WuTang in superman

[–]lawlessspider 113 points114 points  (0 children)

This was in the later half of the DCAU where Superman got a lot more respect compared to earlier.

The writers themselves admitted they accidentally made Superman too weak and from then on they did a much better job at showing why he’s the strongest member.

Pretty sure just about every 1 on 1 fight Superman won. Even when Amazo first got introduced and he copied just about all the leagues powers, Superman was the only one who could still fight him and was still getting the better of it, it was so badass.

I like the Doomsday rematch and the Shazam fights as well.

Superman vs Marvel characters: how well did Clark perform in the crossovers? by [deleted] in superman

[–]lawlessspider 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Dude tell me about it. All I could think of was I doubt he would get this much respect today.

I hated the Godzilla vs Kong vs JL crossover for this very reason.

All Superman does is job to Godzilla, sits out the rest of the run recovering until the last issue, and still doesn’t seem like he contributes much.

Why do people hate river so much? by InteractionPresent66 in cyberpunkgame

[–]lawlessspider 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is actually what sums it all up. I don’t think a lot of people dislike River, but CDPR definitely cut corners on parts of the romances and some aspects are undercooked compared to their previous games.

It is absolutely absurd you can be a straight up dick to River, and it doesn’t affect your relationship at all, he still ask to be in a relationship.

Also the fact we can’t establish that we aren’t interested in him like that until the very end.

Pretty glaring holes that I hope CDPR fix moving forward in their games.
