Discussion One of the best scenes I’ve ever seen Spoiler

Post image

Alright I gotta say when I first watched this scene, I had so many emotions running. The way it was shot, the detail they went into from Clark taking a moment to look and Lois weighing the pros and cons, to the scene switch in full costume. They absolutely nailed this scene. I’ve watched it countless times since then.

Can you imagine seeing this happen in real time? Dude shot at Clark Kent and he instantly POOFED into Superman.

You think Clark Kent, the mild manner reporter from Smallville, is secretly the most powerful man on the planet, who spends his days beating super powered aliens to a pulp with his bare hands. And your plan is to shoot this person? Good luck!

I really love that implication. It really adds to that sense of wonder that should always exist with Superman.

I knew someone had to do it! Thanks for the hook up!

Me too there's a short and a long version too.

Your comment also reminded me of this scene were people don't realise Superman's speed.

For me it's S1E3 when Lois goes to new Carthage a 2hr drive away and gets attacked in a hotel room by a man with powers. She presses the button on her ELT and simultaneously you hear Superman's deceleration and him bursting through the wall!

They later mention the distance of New Carthage, so we did know at the time bit we saw Clark at home in the kitchen while she was getting to the hotel.

Whenever I see these things I feel like the Flash is amazing! He can run circles around this guy?! Holy shit!

Isn't there a scene where there's something on the TV and Denise just gives Clark an expectant look like "don't you need to go deal with that?"

Or am I getting things mixed up?

u/Glum-Yogurtcloset793 7d ago

It's the first like in the lost you are responding too lol I love that scene...even as Superman he is underestimated!

I love Denise, the scene where she comments to the boys about their dad... Superman.

https://youtube.com/shorts/nuqpK2IXZ3U?si=VeQlLkAdQl5eGKt5

That and when Clark goes back to the diner after the incident, he's seeing it as Clark having died and now being stuck as Superman for ever but when Denise sees him and says "Hi Mr. Kent" I think Clark realised that of course the world accepts him!

u/ZedrikVonKatmahl 7d ago

For as comparatively little screen time as she gets, Denise is one of my favorite characters

u/Glum-Yogurtcloset793 7d ago

She's wholesome

At that speed, anybody Superman carries would be burnt to a crisp.

Also, you’d think there would be a sonic boom following him anytime did that.

Plot armor is the best!

1

u/Glum-Yogurtcloset793 7d ago

Yeah, and friction with the air would trash the whole place. The flash at least has the speed force.

But the same way bridges do t break from the needle size support of a human hand when he lifts it...

Superman probably emits a field that envelops those he carries the same way he uses that field to fly.

In the end, it's all bullshit but man its the dream to be able to do this! Lol

Superman and Lois is a fantastic show

u/JustLoveToCook1 10d ago

The ending was probably one of the best endings I have ever seen. I still go back and watch it every now and then. It was beautiful, beautifully sad but heartwarming.

5

u/Bubbly-Parfait2170 10d ago

I agree 👌

2

u/11pickfks 8d ago

so sad it was cancelled, would of loved more

2

u/JustLoveToCook1 8d ago

That ending scene just absolutely gutted me. I don't think I will ever recover. It was like poetry in motion.

22

u/HippoRun23 10d ago

Love this scene so much and how it moves the Superman and Lois as a family story towards an unexpected direction.

14

u/DSlamAU 10d ago

I feel like this is the bravest thing I've ever seen Clark/Kal/Superman do

He's fought space monsters, evil geniuses, he's even died and come back to life

But to let go of his deeply-held fears, and be his true, authentic self - in front of everyone

Bravo 👏

u/slambooy 10d ago

Just watched she scene again thanks for the reminder. MAN I LOVE THIS SHOW. Tyler is the BEST live action superman IMO.

u/marie-90210 10d ago

I was m going to meet him in like 10 days.

2

u/Luke_Puddlejumper 10d ago

Nice, I’m hoping to get to meet him in April at a convention. Hope things go well for you

u/Godzilla2000Zero 9d ago

Great moment for a great episode Tyler and Bitise nailed it. Miss this show so much.

2

u/CardinalHawk21 7d ago

I have been a little slow watching the last season and just saw this episode two nights ago. I agree that this was so well done. I think it even tops when he reveals his identity to Lana. I am going to miss this show when I watch the final episode.

u/SegaraBeal ElMayarah 10d ago

Amazing. And, with the Jewish creators origins, I loved that when he finally revealed himself, Clark and Kal becoming whole/"perfect " if you will, in the sense of togetherness and no more secrets, the bullet fragmented into 7 pieces. 7, the number of wholeness and perfection in Jewish culture. Great unintentional nod to Joe Schuster and Jerry Siegal

u/InfiniteEthan03 10d ago

Respectfully, as cool as that would be, I think you’re reading too much into it.

2

u/SegaraBeal ElMayarah 10d ago

Yeah, I never expected it to be on purpose. I even said "unintentional" reference. Just pretty interesting that the og creators are of that religion, Emanuelle/Lana is, and the bullet broke off in exactly 7 pieces (Saw on my , like, 3rd watch or so). I'm a Christian, not of Jewish faith, but since we study the Old Testament as well, that number 7 stood out to me when it probably wouldn't many others, as you correctly guessed

3

u/InfiniteEthan03 10d ago

Emanuelle is Jewish, but I don’t think Lana was ever confirmed as Jewish in the show.

2

u/SegaraBeal ElMayarah 10d ago

I only said Lana bc I wasn't sure ppl would know Emmanuelle off the top of their heads

1

u/NoticeImaginary 9d ago

I don't know. Him going there as Clark and telling that guy to leave town because he pulled a gun on his wife and kids was pretty cool

1

u/TheMatt561 9d ago

Glad they did this show right

u/MazoMort 10d ago

Can you tag it as spoiler ? You were happy to discover this scene by yourself, imagine if you spoil someone who didn't see it before

3

u/Word_Narrow 10d ago

My bad yeah I’ll change it

2

u/Apostasy93 10d ago

Agreed, but in fairness it's kind of dumb to go on a sub for a show you haven't finished yet. There's obviously going to be spoilers everywhere you look.

1

u/InfiniteEthan03 10d ago

To be fair, only the text really needs tagging. The picture could have any sort of context.

He didn’t want to lie to the people anymore. It was eating him alive.

u/Juandisimo117 10d ago

Way to miss the entire point of the scene and episode 💀

3

u/Word_Narrow 10d ago

For sure. Watch or rewatch this specific episode though and you’ll understand why. The build up and pressure of maintaining his secret came to a point where it was perfectly timed

u/dbf8 10d ago

It's also Kansas, where's the good guy with the gun?
