Something tells me Brainiac is not going to be fully defeated this season, like he is somehow going to escape while our heroes think they defeated him.
I feel he will return to cause trouble in later seasons, maybe teaming up with another Superman villain or maybe being the creator of Doomsday in MAWS (or something like that)
It is just he had been built as this bigger than life thing yet I am supposed to believe he is going to be defeated in 2 episodes? I doubt it.
Maybe I am wrong, who knows? Only time will tell.
This little scene feels so important to me, because Brainiac jumping into Clark’s body gives us insight into the more subtle aspects of Brainiac’s feelings.
Like for all his intelligence and power he must not be used to having an actual face that can emote, because as we can see in the clip the Eye and eyebrow movement gives the fact that what he is saying is truly genuine away.
The way he gaze softens for a moment as he looks at Kara’s tear stricken face before it closes off and he attacks her.
I got more of Brainiac’s true thoughts and feelings from his face than his words and I think that is amazing storytelling.
I need more Ghostmaker in Superbat fics. More of him coming in and being an annoying ex.
The tension between Bruce and him is so real, add Clark into the mix and there´s a lot of potential there.
Where´s my angsty 100k fic about them???
Just think of the possibilites!! I need this as a fic.
It certainly wasn’t on my MAWS S2E8 Bingo card. (And Brainiac unfortunately served in that outfit)
Also why is his waist out like that? (I like it)
I know there's been a lot of contention regarding how Aizen has been portrayed in the anime. With it making him more emotional and seemingly less stoic and in control. He looks more (for a lack of of a better word) vulnerable than he did in the manga and previous anime.
Which has caused a lot of fans who viewed Aizen as this emotionally invulnerable character that can never express anything true and is always walled off to feel discontent with how he's being depicted.
But I personally like the anime's take way more.
Let me explain: Aizen has been in a sensory depravation cell for more than 2 years completely restrained and lacking any human contact. For those who don't know sensory depravation and isolation are torture methods, which means Aizen has been essentially tortured none stop for 2+ years at this point.
Arrogant asshole or not that is bound to take a toll, a heavy one at that. It never made any sense to me how Aizen seems perfectly fine in the manga after what is basically physchological torture.
His more reserved and tense personally fits so much better in my opinion. He is still the asshole we all know and love but his time in muken has affected him.
I've seen a lot of people complain. about it but honestly?
I adore the new suit, it has everything I like in a Superman suit.
The armour like texture that actually looks like it protects him, a regal/elegant look, the finger covering, the golden accents, the semi belt, the longer boots, the shoulder pads (people hate them but i love them) etc.
It represents his growth as a character and i love that too.
I love love the new suit, it is among my favorites ever.
I liked the trunks while they were here but i am kinda glad they are gone.

Also Babygirl unfortunately
I don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade but I feel MAWS’ final villain is going to end up being Doomsday (with an show original backstory), and we all know what Doomsday does.
(It would Also be a nice parallel to S2 E8 name being “The Death of Clark Kent”)
if MAWS Clark dies I would cry a river.
I am currently writing a fic in which we get to see Superbat developing into a relationship through the eyes of Batman’s Rogues gallery.
In kind of a 5+1 things format.
With each of them having their own opinions and thoughts on the heroe couple. Along with it being an exploration of that respective rogue’s character and relationship with Batman.
So I wanted to ask for suggestions for scenarios on the fic and which rogues I should use.
I can only say “FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK”
Clark baby you deserve so much better.
(Brainiac slayed that outfit though)
