    Even funnier if he’s still a true believer in the US even as he’s uncovering more and more shit. Finds out cops are working with white supremacists to silence black protesters? Well, the issue is just a few bad apples, not the whole system. Exposes Lex Luthor’s bribery of courts and politicians to cover up his death squads killing protesting overseas workers? That’s just one rich guy, not indicative of capitalism at all. Discovers the CIA running a drug ring to experiment new mind control drugs? Surely it’s just rogue agents and not the whole CIA.

    Top it off by him finding out, point-blank, that the CIA is trying to kill him for exposing the corruption and lies of the US, and Clark still not understanding that the US is the problem. Have Waller herself be the antagonist, getting frustrated trying to get it through his head that he’s upholding a system totally opposed to his overly idealistic vision, but Clark just can’t grasp it.

      I have an ending for you. After the CIA’s last attempt almost kills Lois Lane, the president intervenes and stops the CIA. Clark goes to the White House to thank him. The president asks him for a little favpur in return, to help protect the US. Clark agrees. The president gives him his first assignement. Head over to a country and do something despicable, that Clark has previously uncovered that the US was lying about the subject all along.

    “the CIA assassins can’t figure out why their attempts keep failing”.

    TIL that Castro was actually Superman in disguise. Suddenly everything makes sense.

      A film series on Castro would be like inverse James Bond, where the bad guys are the intelligence agencies and Castro is the suave womanizing hero who always wins.

      It gives me ai vibes. If it wasnt written by ai, then i think its a result of you trying to give it comic book voice when it should have x files voice. Using ai as a crutch when writing tends to make it feel grey like this does.

      If its not written with any ai, then i think the fact that it sounds removed Chat GPT wrote part of it is valuable feedback.

        Well spotted. I used AI to fill in the text based on where the story was going and how I wanted things to play out. It was an exercise in learning to use AI tools and a bit of a lark. I presented it as is because I honestly never intended it to be serious.

    It’s not too dissimilar from the animated show My Adventures With Superman, which I really like tbh.

    Big bads of the first season are a Bezos caricature and the U.S. deep state.
