I liked this episode because it had one of my favorite types of endings: the rare ending where Frylock is killed after being too smug.

Midnighter has a super computer in his brain that makes it really easy to predict future possibilities, which makes him really good at murdering people.

Like every fight he has starts with him saying something like “Heh, I’ve already figured out EIGHTY different ways to kill everyone in this room. Your move, good sirs.”

everybody says Red Son is good but they actually just like the idea of "Communist Superman" and "Anarchist Batman" the story mostly sucks and has one of the dumbest timeloop endings I've ever seen

literally the most interesting thing about it is the question "what if Superman landed on Earth 12 hours later?"

the epitome of red son's writing is when some communist party guy gets drunk at a party and has an existential crisis over superman being too strong because communism is when everyone is equally physically adept or something

I think this was the one Superman I really liked



basically what would happen if a normal person inherited the powers, the threats and responsibilities that results, and turns into an allegory for growing up and getting old

there's a part where he realizes his strength is fading and he starts watching sunsets that kills me

it's falung gong propaganda funded by NED op. and no it's supposed to be pretty mediocre. there's trueanon series on shen yun and falun gong that's very good

but if they are truly free then you might want to go just to lol at the over the top propaganda about xi eating kidneys and stealing babies
