You probably dont give a damn but does anybody know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.
@Kolton Gabriel i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I feel like he is pissed but he is putting his brother before himself, which might eventually come to a boiling point, and Jonathan is going to be the one to fuck things up.

Jonathan is so wholesome... I feel so bad for him while having this incredible sense of pride in his ability to put aside his feelings and look at a situation in his brother’s eyes. I really hope he doesn’t turn around and become a villain next season.
Honestly, I'm quite impressed with Jonathan's character in this episode here. Yes, he is selfless brother who is a bit of a smack talker, but he also shown a hidden maturity here as well. He kinda knows that Jordan playing football is not a good idea & maybe unfair to other player, but this might give Jordan a more stable & happier mindset and also a chance for him to increase his social circle.
Tyler Hoechlin is quickly becoming one of my favorite Superman actor. He just nails the clumsiness/dorkiness of Clark Kent in public and charisma of Superman.
Honestly, his Superman is a bit dorky too! Which I absolutely love! The little moment when he waved to the Chinese fisherman, glanced up, did a double-take and realized he was comfortably holding the chunk of bridge with one hand.... I thought that was so funny! Same with the classic episode-one line about his suit, with pure kiddy-enthusiasm: “Thanks! My mom made it!”
I loved that Clark automatically pulled his punches and almost got his ass handed to him- it was Lois needing and calling for ‘Superman’ that got through to him to step up his game. Such an awesome show so far. I didn’t realize how much I’ve missed Superman :)
@@yopedraza i feel the same the chemistry is good between them and i love the mom and daughter moment that lana and sarah had it felt so real and wasn't as annoying as it could of been!
The mental health of someone with the potential to destroy the planet one day is more important than him cheating at some unimportant game. I'm all for him joining the team if it prevents him from feeling alienated.
True, but the problem is he doesn't know his own strength yet so he might accidentally hurt or kill someone if he isn't careful. That has always been Clark Kent's biggest fear and why he always has to be in control cause if he ever were to lose control even for a second, someone could be seriously injured or die.
Well the team is a good start. Venting emotion is important, especially with his surfacing abilities, and he's had so much built up over years it seems that now is as good a time as any.
Why is it so hard that this is a CW show? The difference between the shows is simply budget. Nothing more, nothing less. A bigger budget gives them options these other shows don't have.
I’m trusting Clark’s judgement with Jordan. After all, he understands what it’s like to have powers. He knows what it feels like to have control. So I’m not opposed to Jordan joining the team
Johnathan has been such a good brother and pushing his own baggage aside, but that kind of thing is not healthy which makes me think that eventually it’s going to reach a boiling point and he is going to be the one that actually fucks things up
Lois' new boss is "Chrissy Beppo." Which is a really weird comics deep cut (Beppo the Super-Monkey was the test animal Jor-El sent to Earth before he sent Clark, to make sure the rocket plan would work).
I don't see why everyone hates on Jordan. The cw has there cheesy drama and the writers just seem to have put it all in one character. They are teens so drama is a part of being that age and with being a teenager with powers would be even more. Football is also a way that he can feel apart of something and everyone looks up to him. His strength can be debated with if he should play, but smallville had clark playing his senior year with full powers and helping them win it all. The way the writing is is very true on how kid would react in his situation, who wouldn't want to play a sport where you have an advantage. Where do you draw a line on if someone is too strong to play a sport. some players in real life have a huge advantage over others should they not be allowed to play?
No matter how much more natural athletic skills or strength a human has, they are not the same as Jordan’s still Developing strength. Everyone there on the team, even the douchebags on the team, had to train for a lonnnng time build up skill & strength to play and be in the position they’re in. Jordan now dominates the team cause of his strength in power. No one can take him down and he has a ridiculously unfair advantage due to the nature of his recently discovered super powered abilities cause the guy is not solely human like everyone else on the team, his Kryptonian DNA has given him strength that no human his age has. Fact is, if he didn’t have super powers, he wouldn’t be playing football nor would he be anywhere in the position on the football team in a matter of a couple days. EVERYTHING HE DID TO GET THE REPUTATION HE HAS ON THE TEAM WAS A RELIANCE NOT ON YEARS OR EVEN DAYS OF TRAINING, IT WAS ALL RELIANT ON HIS SUPERPOWERS. Take Jonathan for example, he has been training for years to earn his way to the position he’s in yet even though he’s been on smallville team longer he has no nowhere near the level of respect that Jordan now has and Reminder: Jordan is only incredible due to his powers, not actual set of earned football playing skills. I’m not suggesting he stay locked in his room all day, I’m saying football may not be the best path. for a teen boy with an obvious temper problem & can easily get carried away it’s probably not the safest decision to have a super strength / optic blast teenager in a competitive aggressive possibly anger provoking environment....that’s what I’m saying lol. Hell, the first reason he joined was not for the love of the game he later found, it was to friggin use his strength to get back at those bullying him! I obviously still love the show and due to what I see on social media, Jordan is the most debated execution of the series. I generally like him even in spite of the jokes we make, no he’s not my favorite, but I don’t hate the guy & I wouldn’t have the show at this particular moment and would rather wait to judge the character in his entirety after season 1. These are week to week feelings you’re seeing being express where they can change in a positive or negative depending on where series goes. That’s just that
For as much as I’m yelling at the screen for Clark to just tell Jordan off which is fun in itself, I’m digging this show. I’ve totally fallen off the flash which was the only arrowverse show I followed but I just can’t be bothered to care anymore this show is filmed in a cool way and I hope they can keep it up. As long as they continue to try with this series I’m in.
Yep same all the way . the whole " you weren't sent here to be a father"and "everything you do is a mistake". he should have definitely went straight to a Jesus concert and your definitely right about the flash the show started to fall off in its third season which was just okay the 4th season was goofy as hell they didn't take anything seriously the fifth season was just unnecessary and only the first half of season 6 is worth watching, but I will say the season 7 is off to a great start sooo yeah
Being on the team can help Jordan learn to control his strength. Just as Superman knows how much strength to use against his foes. He didn't go full strength agains the guy in the motel room until he knew how strong the guy was.
THIS SHOW IS SO GOOD! The Lois arc is like iris from the flash done better. The entire family is so charismatic. Even each side character has a personality and it all feels so real. I wish this was streaming so we could all binge it!
As such an ex-big fan of The Flash, what they did with Iris' arc in the show is terrible. She barely did anything at all and now she just doesn't work the news firm anymore. It's shit, it's blatantly bad writing and it's pissing me off, hope Season 7 can be the next great season after Season 1 & 2.
Never thought of the Iris comparison for this show. Funnily enough I did when they first introduced Iris as a reporter. I automatically thought poor man's Lois. I really like this Lois. I also love that she loves/loved Clark first. Always my pet peeve with the 70s movies.
Ironic that Clark Kent wasn't allowed on the baseball team but Tyler Hoechlin wanted to pursue a baseball career until an injury stopped that in college and he returned to acting.
I think Clark decided that perhaps giving Jordan some self determination and trusting him to be responsible for himself(under reasonable "Super"-vision), might help him break his cycle of depression and feelings of inadequacy. Clark only assumed Jordan was going to lose control in the hallway. We don't know he would have. Also, you forgot that Lois checked in with Johnathan last episode. She acknowledged what he gave up for the move and how hard it must be and what a great brother he is being.
First off, we LOVE this series. Let's make that clear lol. However, some people don’t seem to get where we are coming from when it comes to Jordan in football with the defense being “how is it cheating? It’s not like steroids cause he didn’t take something, he naturally has it.” First off no matter how much more natural athletic skills or strength a human has, they are not the same as Jordan’s still Developing strength. Secondly, It’s LIKE cheating. Everyone there on the team, even the douchebags on the team, had to train for a lonnnng time build up skill & strength to play and be in the position they’re in. Jordan now dominates the team cause of his strength in power. No one can take him down and he has a ridiculously unfair advantage due to the nature of his recently discovered super powered abilities cause the guy is not solely human like everyone else on the team, his Kryptonian DNA has given him strength that no human his age has. Fact is, if he didn’t have super powers, he wouldn’t be playing football nor would he be anywhere in the position on the football team in a matter of a couple days.

I see where people have their concerns about the way that it’s going. It isn’t the best or fair way they can go about letting him find his niche, but it’s a way none the less. I feel like he is starting to grow because no one would’ve expected him to apologize for what he did ( even if he didn’t know because in real life not a lot of people would apologize for something the didn’t know to be true at the time.) I feel like they could just be trying to lead us on to believe he would be the one to be a villain. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and at the end of the day everyone seems to enjoy the show. Love the videos 🏋🏽♂️
The only real question is...can Jordan pass a physical? Or would a doctor visit, out his abilities? If blood and piss tests show he is only human, he is not cheating. (I suspect this will come up later.) Also, Speaking as the smallest player, as a freshman, on my high school football team, strength isn't the only thing that makes you a good player. Also-also, as a troubled kid with anger issues, who got bullied. Me joining football, stopped the bullying (same has with Jordan, a few good hits and I got respect) AND helped me take out some of my pent-up anger in a productive way (while never actually getting angry on the field).
@@CyGea I absolutely respect your opinion especially coming from a very personal perspective on how football helped you as a kid with anger issues. However, we are talking about you, a real human being verses an angry teenager who most recently almost got provoked in a hallway to laser someone out of his control. And the same can be applied for you in what I meant about whatever position you played or how often you played, you had to earn your way there. No, not everything comes down to strength, BUT, most of what he's doing & being praised for is him relying PRIMARILY On his enhanced kryptonian super strength. And even if he got a physical, and it came back with human dna only, why would that matter? He's CLEARLY also Kryptonian and maybe the physical just doesnt have the science to back that. Again, I respect if you can identify in terms of the anger and how football helped you during a difficult period, that's beautiful actually, however this is NOT at all the same thing. You never had super strength, laser beams, and who knows what else might evolve. My point being, if you have anger issues and football helped you get the anger out, a way to express it, you WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ABLE to provide the same amount of damage that Jordan is capable of if you lost control by letting your anger out on the field. Jordan, if he loses control of that anger, he can send someone to the hospital or worse. He has only just learned about his abilities and I think it would have been wise for him to learn a bit more how to tamper that temper of his before getting involved in the sport. People keep asking "where do you draw the line on strength?" It's when you have a bunch of industrial pipes fall on you and you sustain zero injury. It's when you have no training and are knocking people who have been playing football for years back 10 feet across the field.
My idea... I see John as the son who is basically the spiritual equal to his adopted Grandfather who hes named after. John is naturally wise and good hearted and noble like Johnathan Kent was. While Jordan is a troubled version of Superman. I think reimagining that Father-Son dynamic those characters have as a sibling relationship is a brilliant way to approach Clark's children. One son is basically like getting to watch the man who raised him grow up, while the other son is basically a more difficult reflection of his own childhood and struggles being a freak with powers. And I think its brilliant that while Clark had the best Father one could hope to have in Johnathan Kent, he himself is absolutely no Johnathan Kent and is struggling with realizing parenting isn't one of his gifts, and how far off from being like Pa Kent was devastates Clark and its not something he ever really learns to get better at, unfortunately some parents just don't and I think that's an important story to tell. I also want a twist in the later seasons of the show, like in season 6 or 7 after watching Jordan slowly grow more powerful but more dangerous then eventually full villain, Clark and Lois decide the only way to stop Jordan and jeep him alive is to trick him into a power swapping at the Fortress of Solitude kinda like in Superman 2. BUT, its different. The only way to take Jordans abilities from him is to transfer them, and for that, Johnathan his twin must receive them and swam his DNA with his twin brothers. So essentially Johnathan becomes Superboy, and Jordan now depowered and left bald from the draining of his powers, goes mad over his families betrayal and for picking Johnathan over him, and he takes the name Jordan Luthor. So where the dynamic used to be Young Pa Kent and Dark Clark as brothers, after season 6 or 7 they will be Johnanthan as Young Pa Kent as Superman and Jordan is the New Lex Luthor... but they are brothers. Thats cool. Thats creative as hell. Thats a fresh twist and a great way to shine a spot light on all these relationships and what makes them so special, especially by how they mirror each other.
They would be stupid to make them villains it ruins the dynamic. Imo Johnathan and Jordan will grow into their powers similar to how Clark did on Smallville. I mean in some stories Clark is incredibly strong and fast from a very young age and in some stories it’s not until puberty his powers start emerging
there is nothing unfair about Jordan playing football, and it's not at all comparable to steroids. because he's *not* using steroids or getting any other outside help. in fact, the fact that he's holding back is unfair *to him.* what would be *fair* is if he used his full powers...that would just also be lethal. the notion that him playing isn't fair because he's stronger would be like saying someone with excellent genes for building muscle shouldn't be allowed to compete in weightlifting championships, or exceptionally tall people shouldn't be allowed to play basketball, or giants shouldn't be wrestlers. he's stronger, faster, and tougher than everyone else, and it's not fair that he doesn't get to show it off and dunk on them constantly
This show is awesome. Just started watching just on episode three and that hotel fight for me was probably the most exciting and authentic superman action since Richard Donner's Superman. Awesome stuff and great reaction :)
That opening of rescue in China was so well done! Thought of Smallville Clark on football team. Was thinking Edge experiment on small town folk. Emmanuel Chriqui is dead ringer for Nina Dobrev.
Jonathan and Martha let Clark play football in Smallville, he was recruited to college schools and didn't quit playing until he found another guy playing with enhanced abilities. This has been done before on CW television 20 years ago.
I DO NOT want the twins to fall out. Or either of them to side against their family in this show...ever. The more interesting and hopeful story is, the family stays together and doesn't turn on each other, no matter what. Everyone's theories about one of the boys becoming Superboy Prime/evil, backs up that it is the unexpected story to tell.
I am amazed how great this show is so far. That scene between Lana and Sara was amazing. In only 3 episodes I find myself caring about all these characters. The writing as well is so much better than the other Arrowverse shows imo. These feel like real people in real situations making real choices.
Not so small nitpick: China is roughly 20.000 km away from the US. Sound travels about 1.200 km/h. So, the sound of that bridge falling 16h 40m to travel, from the moment it started falling until the moment Clark heard it. That's a problem.
That part with the cooler is really puts a smile on my face, we have superman pretending to struggle with carrying a cooler and needing help from his son with a fraction of his powers. He might not have a hundredth of his power but superman once pulled the entire planet so even a millionth of his strength still puts him above most heroes in terms of strength.
Totally agree - he should not be allowed to be part of the football team. I think Smallville showed this very well and on top of that this kid is also vastly different in his temperament and self-control. Really bad judgment call by the parents.
I've been thinking about this for many years but it's pretty clear that Superman's hearing doesn't rely on sound waves as we understand them. He hears stuff in real time no matter how far away he is. Sound travels at 760mph so if somebody got shot and Superman was on the other side of town, he wouldn't even hear the sound of the gun firing until it was too late to stop it. But in every iteration of Supes we've ever seen, that's not how it works. And he can hover at the edge of space and listen in on everything even though sound can't travel through a vacuum. So there must be something else at play here.
I just had an idea. Total weird theory but what if Jordan's outbursts of anger are a result of him getting stronger, his human dna being suppressed in favor of his kryptonian dna, just like the Superboy from Young Justice?
Subjekt-11 is played by Daniel Cudmore who's been in a lot of other Movies and TV shows superhero or not but the superhero things he was in were The Flash as Gridlock and the Minotaur in Legends of Tomorrow and in multiple Marvel's X-men movies as Colossus and Jackhammer in Arrow and of course now Superman & Lois
This show is turning my favourite becoz of the family story line they acted perfectly as a real fam and its felt so realistic for the first time I am connecting with Superman being a Batman fan
Great reactions and comments guys. I also enjoyed the family moments here. While the hotel fight was awesome and I have been enjoying the action, the character development and heart this show has stands out to me. It's definitely become one of my favorite TV hero shows at the moment.
