Best line of the entire series: “Superman is what I can do. Clark Kent is who I am.” And the spinning move to change into Superman is a very nice, realistic touch to the character. Kudos to the writers for adding these to the series.
The spin looked good. The part about Clark choosing his Superman costume was different from the previous films/series. The suit has superpowers, so it was in his spaceship.
@deckgun31 To further quote the best line of the series: " Clark Kent, Kal-El, man of steel, the big blue boy scout, Man of tomorrow it honestly doesn't matter what you call him. He's still a kryptonian from another planet with superhuman abilities, who travels under the name the whole world would know him as Superman. "
I’ve met the actor that played this Superman years ago. 😀 he’s a really nice guy. I recognized him, he was older but I still recognized him. He really likes that hairstyle. 🤣
The series brings back so many memories as me and my parents used to watch it together. We especially enjoyed yelling our heads off at the tv in seasons 1&2 when Lois could not figure out Clark’s secret as it was so obvious 😂😂😂😂
I think we all were. Give that woman a picture of Superman and a black sharpie! I don't know why the writers wrote her to be so think or so blind. It's obvious.
Typically the Superman films, even going back to the Salkind/Reeve era, are darker and more intense. The emphasis is more on the stakes of the conflict. (The animated series was really dark and brutal, despite how bright and cheery its visual style was.) *Lois & Clark* was a comedy first and foremost, so seeing Clark goof off with his powers was in keeping with the tone they wanted.
Yeah but just because the films are darker and more intense doesn't mean there can't be brief scenes of Clark having fun with his powers. It helps give moments of levity to balance with the dark ones and helps to humanize Clark, showing his chill and friendly personality.
Hadn't thought about it, but that's probably why I love the seen in Man of Steel where Clark learns to fly. It's pure joy, for us seeing him (plus it looking SO good) as well as him that's smiling throughout the scene.
Once they worked out all the bugs with the Dean Cain Superman costume, the final suit he wore for the remainder of the series looked really good. I love the extra large Superman s Shield/ House of El symbol on his chest and I like the thickness and long length of his cape. Even the blue sections of his costume have a really great sheen to them and I love the darker blue color to the suit as well. Even though Dean Cain wasn’t the best Superman, he definitely looked formidable in full costume so he gets points just for that in my book! Back when this show was new, I never missed an episode. Lois and Clark was one of the few tv shows that we would watch as a whole family. Man oh man were those the good Ol days!
Compared to the Superman costumes used for the *Superboy* series just a few years earlier, the *Lois & Clark* Supersuits were all gigantic downgrades. The baggy burgundy boots that didn't match the rest of the outfit, the bizarre cross-stitched cloth belt with a rubber block buckle, the misshapen design of the House of El crest...Dean Cain got a raw deal in terms of the costume design. By all rights, his Superman costume should have been the next step forward after the Salkind era, and instead the poor guy looked like a cosplayer on a budget. I don't mind changes and modifications to the Superman costume -- I love the *Smallville Season 11* and Henry Cavill Supersuits, the New 52 suit was a cool-looking design, and the *Superman Returns* costume is beautiful when viewed in natural light instead of the bizarre sepia tones it was filmed in -- but whatever changes you make have to look good and have to make sense. Honestly, what *Lois & Clark* should have done was look to the better artists on the Superman books of the era -- Tom Grummett, Dan Jurgens, Kerry Gammill, Bob McLeod, George Perez, and Jerry Ordway -- and replicate one of those guys' renditions of the suit. Just duplicate it straight off the page. I think the end result would have looked a lot better. Dean Cain had a good look for Superman, but the costume department dropped the ball big time.
@@reidmason2551 I will admit that I didn’t like the super suit Dean Cain wore in the pilot episode or the first season of Lois and Clark. But I did think they eventually worked it all out and the suit he wore for the remainder of the series was fine. I liked how the S Shield/House of El Sigil was nice and large. I also liked the textured look of his cape and I thought the colors of the costume were nice and bright. I do agree that the cloth belt was a bit strange and I didn’t like how his boots didn’t match the color red of the rest of the costume. But overall it wasn’t a bad costume. I do agree that they should’ve gone above and beyond from what we got from the movies and the Superboy series.
I always loved how, in the last two seasons especially, his cape became more of the costume as well. It bellowed around him and made him look more… godly. To me, you’re either Edna Mode or full cape. Those mid-calf length capes Christopher Reeve had (RIP 💗) just look silly. I also loved how Dean spun into the costume in later episodes. So cool! Dean Cain was an awesome Superman who looked DAMN fine in that costume 😉
It wasn't bad but it showed a little too much neck and collarbone. It is comic accurate but the prototype outfit was closer...those boots were very disappointing
Loved this when I was a kid, now it just makes me laugh. The thunder sound when he rips open his shirt or he unbuttons the top 2 buttons and then rips his shirt off 🤣
Dean Cain really raised the bar in regards to who you get to play Superman. Dude had the presence and he was pretty damn athletic. His jumping into action to change into Superman made me say that they would definitely need to step up their actors for any future Superman movies.
I love how she struggles with the sewing.. the "S" would be a difficult thing to sew, she (the seamstresses for the show, of course) seem to be struggling with cape and the S applique. A wonderful little touch of humanity. That adds a level of realism and personality to the show that reminds us that he is the a middle Class reporter, son of farming folk, he's not rich. I'd be challenged that applique get just right too. Traditionally his costume was supposed come from the blankets he was wrapped in when he arrived on earth. In another scene early in the series ( first regular show) Lex Luther is choosing fabric for his suits.. the wools look like they would be 45-100 (probably much more in 2023!) dollars a yarn ... Superman's mom sews his suits and gets the fabric on sale, Luther just tells a tailor he wants 20 suits in Italian wool and this week. Another nice detail.
Wow! memories...this one of the best shows to grace our TV in mid 90's.... totally loved it....all the way watched from Nairobi,Kenya....maybe we really need a SuperMan in the world today!!!
In the U.K. 2002-2003. Every week nights, at 6pm I believe, on bbc2. Straight after Simpson’s. Never use to miss it. No Tiktok, no picking up phone midway to check Snapchat, or WhatsApp. Just use to lay on the sofa and watch the entire episode. Honestly however lame this may sound , but feels such a privilege to have been a part of this era and time. It’s something, all the money and technology of today cannot buy. I had a Nokia 3410 in 2003. And I’m telling you these were much happier times than this new world of Instagram/ RU-vid/ tiktok on a big 6 inch smartphone screen. As a 8/9 year old kid I didn’t realise how special that time was and how changed the world would be in 20 years time, it’s literally like a world of zombies now, glued to an app like Instagram where it’s all pretend life 💀💀. This show reminds me of a simpler, happier time.
This Series ... was light hearted and truly amazing in showing all facets of superman as clark. Ofc now with special effects all of these are far far more efficient. But this laid a foundation for TV series after Chris Reeve on screen. Smallville was the refined next step, Superman & Lois now feels like Season 5 of Lois and Clark.
@@DonDonP1 Well assume dean cain & teri got more serious at end of season 4. and years have passed. any way its just an attempt to bind all the shows together.
No, it certainly does not. I know people have a bias against anything CW makes, though to be completely false and claim this show is better in any way is completely misinformed. This show didn't even showcase his powers that well considered most of the time he flew, it looked like OBVIOUS wire work. Let's also not forget that his super speed was almost NEVER showcased. Or how about the many times Clark showed his powers to regular people yet they never used logic to guess he's superman. I know CW shows aren't the best Superhero shows today, though at least they make the powers believable.
Nossa, essa série era a que eu nunca perdia. Era adolescente, estava na sétima série do ensino fundamental e era apaixonada pelo Dean Cain. Minha alegria era chegar da escola e assistir a série. Gostava muito das histórias românticas com a Louse Lane. Sempre achei que o Dean Cain era foi o melhor Super Man. Falando aqui do Brasil, mais uma fã dessa saudosa série.
Love love loveeee this series, today I'm 35 and I still think this is one of the best series ever! high-quality!! Masterpiece! Love from İsrael,❤️ also ,this show have so much Magic!✨✨✨I watched it recently on kodi, enjoyed every moment of it ,clasica✨❤️
i am watching it again now and for me dean cain and teri hatcher really gave so much justice for their role and i love their chemistry. love them both! 😊
Anybody else read the JLA issue where Mrs Lois Kent tells hubby "I'm NOT sewing those buttons back on!" Clark: "That's cause you can't sew!" Lois: "Shut up!"
'Lois & Clark' was one my top shows from the 90s, both leads had great chemistry together, Hatcher (still my favourite Lois Lane) had great comedic value too, surrounded by a great cast all round. Kickass theme too. My one bugbear however was the 'S' on the suit. For some reason it was always crooked (even more so in season 1) *THIS WOULD ANNOY THE HELL OUT OF ME!!!* To continue with the suit used in the pilot would've been a much better option!
Eu amo essa serie ate hoje .Ver Clarck se divertindo com os poderes e faz falta hoje nos filmes.Teri e Dean uma quimica maravilhosa nenhum outro casal de atores supera eles.♥️🇧🇷
This is for me the best thing done about superman, characters developments are great, lot of messages about whats wrong or good in our contemporary societies, ..
Esse seriado nunca deveria ter parado. As estórias de romance entre o Clark e a lois era muito bom de se ver apesar dos efeitos do voo não serem tão bons para a época Vale muito a pena rever
Eu amo esse seriado. Foi uns dos melhores que já vi. Na época, estava passando por um tempo difícil na minha vida e estava triste por conta de um fim de relacionamento ... foi aí que comecei a ssistir os episódios dessa série, o qual fez eu esquecer toda tristeza e por isso, ela marcou na minha vida.💕👏👍
I remember it was broadcasting in #Telesistema11 in Dominican Republic every Sunday night, after it I was ready for going to sleep cuz next day I had school and my mom used to allow us to watching the episode before bed ❤❤❤❤
Hello. Nice! 1993 was a great year for superhero shows. This year does mark the 30th anniversary of "Lo & Clark" *and* the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers." Keep up the good work and Happy New Year!
Dean Cain is my favorite Superman next to Chris Reeves. I have all the seasons . And even made a private fan movie taken scenes and making it similar to the 78 movie. Dean Cain as Superman is awesome.
No one has come close to topping Christopher Reeve as Superman and even Clark Kent. The man truly embodied the character through and through. R.I.P. Christopher Reeve will always be missed.
@@affanyussof4875 Dean Cain was good in the role but come on man, his portrayal of Superman wasn’t as deep, sincere, and charismatic as Christopher Reeve’s performance. Don’t get me wrong, I like Dean Cain as Superman but I just think Christopher Reeve took the character to another level that has yet to be matched.
7:47 I get why after all these years he didn't just stop at deadness tracks. He could very well do that. But the problem with having strength like Clarks is that he can't really gauge the weight of an object on earth that would seem impossible for a normal human to move or lift. It's a lot of guess work, so he has to have kid gloves on all the time. He needs to be mindful of his surroundings more so than others. As to how that applies to stopping a train, he has to take into consideration not only himself or the tracks beneath him, but the amount of force that he is applying to the front of the train. He has to cradle it, slowly match the amount of force applied in his direction and then increase it as the train decreases in speed. And there is also the matter of whether or not he can actually stop the train before it hits the wall in time. And lastly, what is the force that he's applying is tolerable enough for the occupants within the train to minimize injury and prevent death altogether. If you were just landed for the train and plant his feet on the ground like a rock, it would be catastrophic. In the first season of Smallville, Clark stops a bus by COLLIDING with it. The bus was stopped, but only because Clark had rammed the front so hard he went 5 feet into the front of the vehicle. And he only did that because the bus was unoccupied. If this version of Clark had the same thing, it results from numerous injuries, structural damage to the tunnel itself, and possible casualties. Both versions of Clark Kent and Superman are at different levels of understanding in their abilities. In the case of the "Lois and Clark" Superman, he may be in the second year of his superhero career, but he has had a lifetime of making these decisions.
Martha kent is by far the most amazing person i have seen seen on a sewing machine and as a person in general this was the best iteration of superman for me anyway
