Some people overthink everything. I do.
To be honest, I drifted away from the series after five episodes, but when I heard about the cube shaped Bizarro Earth, that was the thing that convinced me the series wasn't ever going to be for me.
Probably none of it, because that delayed the start of filming for season 1 by 7 months, which would've given them plenty of time to polish the writing, and season 1 was fine. The problems were with the later seasons. In season 2, Ally Alston was a boring antagonist and the whole Bizarro-world plot was stupid. And season 4 (and the end of season 3) revolved around an uninteresting take on Luthor and an even more uninteresting Doomsday.
If COVID had any impact, it's that it discouraged the Arrowverse shows from doing crossovers in the post-COVID seasons. If that hadn't happened, S&L might have had more crossovers and it might not have been able to retcon itself as an alternate Earth in season 2. I don't think that would've substantially improved the writing or the stylistic and tonal direction they'd chosen for the series, but at least it would've spared us from their boring take on Luthor if the show had been in the same universe as Jon Cryer's Luthor.
I had my concerns about Cudlitz’s Luthor at first, but he ended up being great.
Michael Rosenbaum will always be my favorite actor to have played "Lex Luthor".
You’re right that Rosenbaum’s the GOAT, followed closely by Cryer. But really, I’ve enjoyed virtually every live-action version of the character.
I've done pretty well with Superman: The Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited and all that, it's just this that was a bit too childish for me.
Wow. I actually loved both series. Great stuff, from my POV.
Just something for people to complain about.
I'm starting to think Zacky Snyder is just not a very happy person, his movies are all so colorless, and joyless, and even when he adapts something as fun and colorful as a character like Superman tends to be, he takes all of that out.
I don’t know? I’m kinda all over the place. Maybe that means I don’t have a personality!
Joking aside, I wouldn’t begin to start guessing about the personality of someone I simply don’t know. Especially where it concerns something that is very unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
Gotta keep something for the sequel.
Mark Strong was perfect in that part.
Absolutely.
