You’re Not A Weapon, You’re A Person | My Adventures with Superman Episode 9 Part 2 

I was gonna say this has Iron Giant vibes. But then, Superman is a theme in Iron Giant. It all comes full circle.

Superman: The Iron Giant

Iron Giant, to himself: “Superman.”

Man of Steel; You’re not a weapon; Superman. Full circle then loops.

@@jexelbur6872 Ikr! It's kinda cool thematically! ^^

Ironically how the Giant wanted to be this guy.

​@@thatsmyq52 not ironically, _fittingly_

I was about to say the same.

Allen Tsai

That’s what I was thinking too

I thought exactly the same thing when he came from the sewers 😂

Are you forgetting that Iron Giant's premise is literally Superman

Also i hope Lois both Jimmy never betray Superman in their fight against the General and Task Force X in chapter 10 "Heart of the Fathers"

Frl

It does ❤❤

Well, that brings back memories of a childhood classic. "You are who you choose to be." "Su ... per ... man ..." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CNvxCDSSVfo.html&ab_channel=ThePlanetClips

Iron giaaaaaant... *(flies into bomb)*

Also Iron Giant wanted to be Superman, nice parallel.

Nah, this is a job for Metropolis

@@letsreadtextbook1687 Everyone holding up a big sign, We’re sorry

Trailer show that she is coming in season 2.

Bizarro

@@daraghokane4236 oh yea, forgot about the literal mirror opposite.

or just Brainiac

Yeah, it's sad, but I wouldn't be surprised if that plot point gets added in because it helps humanize Superman a lot and make him even more relatable. Everyone has problems, as it's part of being human, and sometimes it can be easy for people to struggle with self-doubts due to those problems. But like Lois says in this episode: it's all about what people choose to do that is important.

@@Scarshadow666 Agreed. And honestly, this makes me more interested in Superman than every other version so far.

To be fair Clark has been starved for answers for a while now and General Lane shows him actual footage so it's understandable Clark is overwhelmed by the revelation.

Well, I hope Joker holds the Gazette hostage or something. Does Batman even exist in this universe?

I mean, the villains so far are people

Well I think why Lois works more than Amber here is two factors. One the series developed more time to make Lois a relatable character that we care about just as much as the superhero. To be fair to Amber, I get the feeling that in the Invincible series the normal high school characters were not really given a lot of depth and the writers wanted to focus more on the super powered characters, and they do great with that. But as a result Amber just comes off as generic side character who we know nothing about on a personal level. Meanwhile with Lois we know everything about her, what makes her tick, and followed her through the highs and lows. Which leads me to factor two on why Lois is better, when Lois makes a mistake she’s not afraid to admit when she is wrong or made a mistake or afraid to be vulnerable to others or to us the audience. When Amber confronts Invincible she mostly protests that she is right and we don’t really get a glimpse as to why she is so confident and it just comes off as arrogant for no reason. Meanwhile we know what makes Lois tick, we know from episode one she’s not supposed to be perfect, we know she has trust issues and trouble opening up, and she’s willing to take a step back and acknowledge herself and her actions and flaws. And as far as I’m concerned we as viewers feel more for a character with flaws who has to face them then for one who we’re just supposed to assume is in the right(especially when it’s not clear in the narrative)

@@johnmartin4119 That and Lois doesn't Smugly say "It seems I wasn't the Only one who was lied to." To hell with Amber!

I actually see no point in adding Darkseid to the mix because he would just making everything too convoluted. He's not even someone who is interesting as he's just an invader and corrupt, selfish ruler who can travel between dimension and desires to find the Anti-Life Equation so he can control all of reality. Nothing more.

Darkside shows upin superman comics on wery few times do i se no point in IT

@@Xoracious Not in the first season, maybe not even the second season. Darkseid is more of a final season threat. But to the point of him not being interesting, that depends on the version.Some Darkseids are better written than others. The Darkseid who was once in love with the mother of Kalibak, named Suli, who was then murdered at the behest of his mother is interesting. Much can be done with that angle.

@@oliverfredrich9734 Darkseid has been a major foe of Superman since his debut. He even debuted in a Superman adjacent comic. Darkseid has also been a final boss for the man of steel numerous times. The show not introducing him would be odd considering previous animated shows featuring Superman had him as a villain.

@@factfiend1000 Well if they add Darksied. At least don't make him a overarching villain. We've already got one that is an extremely entertaining antagonist and that is Mr. Mxyzptlk. So just make him either a supporting or major antagonist.

Can you imagine Doomsday in this show? It was already heartbreaking before, but with how hard Clark and Lois fell for one another, it be devastating.

Probably the destruction of Krypton

Maybe it’s Brainiac

Or maybe Jor-El learned of Zod’s invasion, and had the authorities call him back for trial. But then Krypton began to show signs of its coming destruction. Jor-El recalled how Zod was empowered on Earth, and decides to send Kal-El there as it would give him the best chance of survival.

The story is also like Lilo and Stitch.

Sun radiation

Wtf are you doing?

It’s unlikely the case since there are hints its actually Brainiac who invaded.. Funny enough, DB retcon made Goku more like Superman.

Not really. While they share similarities between each other, there are several key differences between Goku leaving Vegeta and Clark leaving Krypton. I’ve never seen this show so it could be different but most superman continuity suggests he left because the planet was dying in one form or another. Yes, Goku was meant to conquer but his planet was not immediately dying…until Frieza decided to hit alt-f4.

@@Vegadrait was never a retcon cause raditz wasn’t there when bardock (both Z and super versions) sent goku away cause he had a feeling frieza would do something. So they made gokus story like supermans off the bat. Goku is just Japanese Superman.

@@lucid4080 Goku is based heavily off of Son Wukong, the Monkey King, but with a sci fi twist.

Goku was originally sent to Earth to destroy it regardless of Frieza. But for some reason they recently retconned it to have him sent to Earth for his safety lol

Hey los3r Clark deserves her unlike you self-inserted bastard who just nitpicks on a small trying to demean her

She didn't do anything cruel also if that's the case then just because Clark wears glasses doesn't mean he's not a Superman. I can promise but break it like every human does like you can't keep some promises. Unless you are mad that the plot didn't go the way you want then this is not a criticism it's just your head anon fuck los3r self insert

@@gaminginvirinch3339 didn't you not pay attention she made a mess if everything. And having Clark dad shot her dad who is a crazy nut bag by the way would teach her a lesson. And are you calling me a losser jerk.

@@chrismaccool9097 yes I'm she called her father out and you want Clark to suffer so your most hated character can learn a lesson which is a Los r mannerism

You hate her because has flaws if she is flawless then she is boring character

Except Goku just lets that revelation roll off him like it’s nothing. Sent to Earth to destroy it? Meeting a long lost brother for the first time? Not dwelling on that for an instant.

@@MadameTamma mainly because he spent his whole life on Earth unaware of his true heritage.

​@@MadameTamma Goku's singlemindedness is simultaneously his greatest weakness and perhaps his greatest strength.

Not exactly. Clark is just mistaken because he doesn’t have the full context.

@@Wolfbane192 oh thanks

​@@blitsriderfield4099 But, it doesn't change the fact that it was heartbreaking to see him so devastated to know who he really was even though he didn't saw the whole truth.

@@joshuaamadeusishak1887 I didn't mean to imply it wasn't. Just threw me for a loop, that's all

Oh no, a different take on a character…

You do relies that Clark is misunderstanding and thinks that he is a weapon because that's what he was shown and has no context about why he's actually hear because he can't understand his father's hologram?

@@Mary_Studios for one you spelled realize (the correct spelling BTW,wrong) you also realize that ma and pa should have taught him he isn't a weapon for anyone since he crash landed on earth at the Kent farm, why would he ever believe he was a weapon when he was sent from krypton as a baby ? Again bad writing. plain and simple .

@@shoken4421 it ain’t bad writing. Clark had no idea why he landed on Earth. Why would the Kents talk to him about something literally none of them know about?

@@tylerleach8796 I didn't say that I said his parents raised him to be a hero since he was little,why would he believe anyone over the people that raised him and told him to use his powers for good? That's my point ,it's like if you were super man and the Kent's raised you and said :Clark remember your very special you have powers that can save people and then you end up doing just that most of your life then some strange being says :hey your not human your from krypton and your meant to be a weapon,who are you gonna believe someone you just met or people that raised you . That's why I said it was bad writing.

Wrong

Yes goku was inspired by superman

Megamind basically copied Superman's origin story for comedy purpose x) But yeah, Clark's parents sent him to Earth to save him ans to be a protector, Clark just doesn't know it yet

@@ohmaplaymaker ah, ok! thanks!

These comic book superheroes have literally hundreds of variations

Considering how he doesn't even understand proper kryptonion I think it'll take a bit before he can access the rest of his ship

He was only learning biased part of his past since it was from the general's point of view. Seems like we'll back to the cornfield next episode so let's see if the finale is about him learning the complete story from the ship (probably the ball can translate kryptonian somehow?)

Because he’s having valid concerns? Sit down, dude.
