Pilot episode was pretty good. Looking forward to seeing what version of Superman Red/Superman Blue gets used for the twins.

That idea might have worked in the typewriter era but it's totally implausible in the modern age of spell checkers and auto correct.

I believe that's addressed in the comics and it's essentially that Lois just refuses to use spell/grammar check. I feel like auto-correct would just cause more problems.

Watched the pilot today its great and surprisingly shot at film quality? A few things I hope going forward: 1) Don't turn the boys evil or get tempted by the darkside. 2) Keep the interpersonal drama somewhat low key. 3) at some point it will be interesting to see how they fit in the greater Arrowverse unless this is a soft reboot.

It's also what Bendis would've used as a touchstone. He literally called a faux-Lois in one of his Marvel comics Teri Kidder, after the two most famous (at the time) actors to play Lois.

twistedmentat posted:Its funny how in Jonathan's room, he's got a can of pop turned away from the camera so you couldn't see the lable, but it clearly shows the Canadian style nutritional info on the can. It's like seeing a Tim Hortons in the background of one of the early Batwoman episodes. If Arrowverse Gotham is on the Great Lakes a Tim Hortons wouldn't be that out of place, but I'll give you Canadian labels. I randomly remember how when Thea was in that fictitious South American country with Malcolm the restaurant tables all had Tapatio but I chalked it up to the American tourist trade.

She’s Clark’s cousin, that makes her a first cousin once removed to the boys. There’s no such thing as an aunt once removed. Only great Aunts (sister to one of your grandparents) great-great aunts etc.

I'm pretty sure it is fine to call her an Aunt. It sounds way less complex than cousin twice removed.

It’s a technical term. They just go with cousin; and in person two cousins would generally just be on first name terms with each other.

My cousin's kid calls me Uncle. And my brother's kids call our cousin Aunt. Sure, it's not correct but that's what used. Of course we speak Spanish so maybe it's different but I don't really think so?

Adnor posted:My cousin's kid calls me Uncle. And my brother's kids call our cousin Aunt. In English it's more common to use "Aunt" or "Uncle" for your parent's similarly-aged friends than their cousins. Neither would be that unheard of, it's just not like languages where it's a more universal generic honorific for older adults.

Tbh, the kids might not know Kara is their cousin, since as far as the world knows Kara Danvers and Clark Kent aren't related. But yes, technically she's Cousin Kara (and in the comics that's how Jon's referred to her).

Second aunt is a thing and a real term as an alternate for "once removed" as they are the mother of your second cousin. I can pull up wiktionary for you or something, but idk if there exists a definitive database for familial terms in english. howe_sam posted:Tbh, the kids might not know Kara is their cousin, since as far as the world knows Kara Danvers and Clark Kent aren't related. The kids didn't know their dad was Superman until the pilot, so I assume the boys are gonna ask about that or are at least smart enough to figure it out since the world knows Superman and Supergirl are related. Related to that, I hope they take a trip to Argo City at some point.

I mean who knows what the show will do, but all I can say is that canonically Jon calls her cousin. So y'know, make of that what you will. I know this much, it would make a delightful symmetry with all the "your cousin" references in the first season of Supergirl.

Wasn’t there an episode of supergirl where Kara Introduced Clark to Cat Grant as her cousin? If so then it’s fair to assume Kara has at least met the kids as Kara.

Tiggum posted:Your actual experience is not universal. I refer to my parents' first-cousins (and their kids - and my first-cousins' kids) as cousins. "Cousin" is just a convenient term that covers anyone who's vaguely related to you. Your actual experience is not universal. In my family anyone vaguely related to you who was older wasn an aunt or uncle. Anyone younger than your parents was a cousin. Now the real question is what will Jonathan and Jordan call the alternate universe Brandon Routh Superman when they reveal the multiverse is still around and he comes to visit?
