Hi my name is Dan, and this is my blog.

MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN IS SO GOOD

Okay, so not only do the character designs absolutely pop off, but the show seems to genuinely understand Superman. In movies he's always either portrayed as a Jesus figure or a cold, unfeeling alien who only cares about Lois Lane. But in this show he's just a guy who wants to help people, and that's how he got his powers in the first place. Not to mention the fact that the animators were instructed to make him cute/hot, which worked perfectly. He's a big, beefy himbo, and he cares about everyone, not just Lois Lane. And speaking of Lois Lane, she finally has a character! She's very much a manic pixie dream girl, but not in the male gaze sort of way. She's clearly her own character, being an energetic news reporter who cares more about getting the story than keeping her job. Jimmy Olsen is similarly energetic, being a sort of conspiracy theorist (though I think all his conspiracies might be true in this universe), and their combined energy bounces off of Clark's awkwardness really well. I can't wait to see more of this show, and I just hope that the show does well so more comic-accurate iterations of Superman become mainstream. Anyways, thanks (or sorry) if you read all this, now here's some fanart by @38___sr on Twitter of Clark being an Anime Girl.

tl;dr, the new Superman show goes hard

I mean I'm not obsessed with them. Not at all, they're just so cute that I can't help but cry seeing them together 🥺🙏✨

The “female gaze” really fails to encapsulate the eroticism of the male form. It’s so surface level.

female gaze is either ugliest man alive carried by fitting into some boring archetype or man lacking any male second sex characteristics

Literally this ^^^vvv

i HATE when they’ll be like “omg but he’s got a cute butt tho 🥰😊😅” like stfu what are you gonna do with a man’s ass? Slap it? You cannot appreciate it in its entirety. The curves. The musculature. The hair. The hole. You like the aesthetics of a man but not his most intimate forms.

I feel like this meme captures it the best
