Jordan still has much to learn from Clark about being a superhero. Clark is shown to not only be more powerful, but more experienced in knowing how to use his powers to help.
Jordan has only had his powers for a year while Clark had had them since he was 4-5 and properly learned to use them after high school so 20 more years of experience and more sun exposure. You are more than right about Clark being more powerful & experienced.
You can tell that Clark enjoys having a son to share this experience with. His remark at 1:00 also suggests that he is giving consideration to a super suit for Jordan. But he does need to understand that Jordan is a lot more like him than he thinks. Just as Clark used to disobey Martha to go play superhero (albeit more locally), it was inevitable that Jordan would too. Clark needs to broaden the training to more than just flying and fighting. How to do things like stop crumbling construction equipment and other mundane disasters is just as important a skill for a future Superboy.
I still think it's so weird that they decided to take Superman's son and turn him into twins for this show. Even when the comics introduce something new, the TV and movies have to change it somehow.
@@darganstanton The TV shows/movies are separate from the comics. And virtually none of those comparisons are favorable, including yours. It's almost always someone complaining about something or other (again, including yours). I'm sick of it. I've been reading crap like that for years about the MCU, DCEU, Shadowhunters, Harry Potter, etc. People love to bitch (myself included, I admit). And anyway, turning them into twins was the right move for the show. It would've been much emptier with one less character in it, and each twin is arguably the most important person in the other's life. And the juxtaposition (not to mention drama) of only one of them having powers and the consequences of that are fascinating. Their relationship with each other is one of the cornerstones of the show.
THIS. THANK YOU. I mean, it _is_ fooling them, because everyone is inexplicably oblivious to what's right in front of their faces, and the only explanation for that is plot. If Clark was serious about keeping the secret to protect his family, then he would've worn a mask starting on day one.
I still say, it would have been cool if the grandma would have showed up and was like okay Jordan, guard up and remember defense is just as important as offense.
