I like how in John's "iron man" shots, he always looks stressed the FUCK out. And it makes sense. He's an ordinary dude fighting Superman level beings. That shit would stress anyone out
He's lucky that, for whatever reason, neither Tal-Rho nor Clark ever seem to consider digging into the Kryptonian knowledge base that they have access to and developing weapons that could utterly destroy his armor, or at least render his anti-Kryptonian weapons useless. What would happen if he fired off a red solar blast, only to see it deflected off of a personal force field? Most likely his response would be: "Oh CR-P!"
Not bad for somebody who is basically a self-taught engineer. I honestly don't get why Anderson even bothered with the "Supermen of America" thing when he could have just apprehended John Henry and Natalie and used "enhanced interrogation" along with some reverse-engineering to just build more suits. Natalie is building one right now behind her father's back!
@@daniels7907 Because in the long run, a Kryptonian will always beat out the suit. Kryptonians keep growing in power the longer they spend under a yellow sun. In a decade or 2, Clark would be able to kick his current self's ass easily.
I always thought that destroying the pendant was the absolute worst thing they could do. Whatever separated the Inverse World and Earth was sealed inside it.
So, two major points here. First, we just learned that if Bizarro Kal-El hadn't been whacked out on drugs (green Kryptonite) and had tried asking *nicely,* then he and Clark would have been able to destroy the pendant before any of this got out of hand. (Classic image of a frying egg: "This is your brain on drugs.") Second, even Clark is not very bright for a Kryptonian, and John Henry is no better. That Ally didn't bother to "smite" them with her "divine" wrath despite her anger over the pendant being destroyed should have been a hint for John Henry at least to declare "It's Hammer Time!" again. I get that Clark was exhausted and Tal bailed on them. But it's obvious that Ally is *not* an all-powerful "goddess" and planting that hammer in her face and dropping her into the lava would have been an excellent test of her powers (which I personally suspect are not self-replenishing, hence why she needs to "Parasite" people with powers).
@@travonrichardson3019 - Who are "they"? The writers have been hyping up Ally as a con artist who, as it turns out, is a literal Parasite who first gained social power through her cult(s) and then gained actual powers through merging her two selves. But she has shown willingness to order the murder of her own followers (e.g. Bizarro Anderson), seemingly because she didn't want him merging before she did, and an apparent need to steal energy from other people. She definitely has great powers. But she also seems to need to fuel them by draining others. Keep in mind, they also teased that the season's BBEG would be Doomsday, but that didn't turn out to be the case.
This is an example of where I wish heat vision was still heat vision and not “ocular blasts.” I just think a more focused, laser-like effect would look better when destroying some small but powerful like a pendant.
Creative differences from Supergirl writers and many fans prefer the red because it’s what they’re used to and honestly looks cooler. I also question if one is cheaper than other since Supergirl’s effects aren’t as good as this show’s.
@@edenramos9686 Near the scene where Tal-Rho disappears, he picks up something next to him. Correction: The scene shows Ally picking up the broken pieces of the pendant near the end.
