This Idea Has Been Bouncing Around My Brain Non Stop, So I Wrote A Little Snipet. Might Write More After

MAWS Clark’s Strenght

This has been a point of contention for a lot of people, with some saying this Clark is incredibly weak, and while he is definitely not the strongest version of Clark out there. 2X8 proved Clark holds back more than he himself even realizes and that his grasp on his own powers is primitive at best.

Even when fighting for his life and giving it “his all” he really wasn’t. He was still holding back.

Because seeing his fight with Kara and then comparing it to Brainiac’s fight with Kara, we can see it was Clark’s mind not his body which made him lose fights.

Brainiac rag dolled Kara during their fight, meanwhile Clark was getting tossed around by Kara and only landing a few hits.

MOS Pa Kent and MAWS Pa Kent

I find the polar opposite depictions of Jonathan in these stories incredibly fascinating.

MOS Jonathan shields and separates Clark from anything related his heritage, including things like his ship and powers. Encouraging suppresion and caution in Clark.

Actively telling Clark to hide his powers and never use them, scolding him whenever he used them. He is a man terrified of the world taking his son away from him, specially knowing he has no real way of protecting Clark from anything that may seek to harm him. So he encourages him to hide himself and avoid drawing any attention.

He is a more jaded and cynical man, immediately assuming the world would attack and try to kill his son (he ended up being right, which is its own can of worms), would try to rip his miracle child, his star baby away from him.

He only sees a world that would harm the child he so desperately seeks to protect, that child he loves more than anything.

MAWS Jonathan is the complete opposite of his MOS counterpart. He is the one that encouraged Clark to discover himself, to make contact with the ship, to practice his use and control of his powers, even turning that into a game a young Clark could enjoy.

He is aware of the shock Clark´s existence will create but in the end he has faith in humanity seeing Clark for what he truly is, someone who just wants to help others.

He is more optimistic and cheerful, thinking of the best and encouraging other people to do so too.

In MAWS, Martha is the one who is the one who wants to keep Clark away from anything alien, the one that clings to him and wants to keep him hidden.

While Jonathan is cheerful over Clark deciding to go public and help people, Martha is the one that is slightly reluctant (though not to MOS Jonathan´s level, like letting yourself get killed by a tornado because you don´t want your son to expose himself is extreme though somewhat understandable) to let him go, though she eventually gets on board and creates his trunks.

This dicotomy is reflected on Clark´s abilities.

Flight is one of his most characteristic abilities and it often serves as a metaphor for Clark feeling free and accepted, it comes in moments where Clark learns to love and accept himself.

So it is interesting to see how in MAWS it is one of the first he obtains while in MOS it is one of the last ones. Showing the difference in how their settings and enviroments reacted to them.

MAWS is honestly amazing and I am incredibly glad we got this adaptation of the Superman mythos. It is so unique and refreshing. I can´t wait for season 3.

Regardless of its flaws I genuinely love MOS and its depiction of the Kent family. Its different from what we are used to in comics and tv shows, but it offers a unique take on the Kents dealing with Clark´s powers. At the end the day Jonathan is just a father terrified someone will hurt his child and he won´t be able to protect him.

Anyways this ramble has lasted enough, love both pieces of media to bits.

Brainiac’s Makeover

Also Babygirl unfortunately

Characters Who's Blood is Power

Vander and Jayce

Can't stop thinking about how similar the scene where Vander picks up the sisters at the bridge in ep 1 and the scene where Jayce is mourning the child he killed are.

In both scenes Vander and Jayce are confronted with children that were directly hurt as a consequence of their actions, and a glimpse of the destruction that would follow if they kept walking on the path they were on.

They were forced to do introspection on themselves and their ideals, which changed them as people.

Batman’s Rogues seeing Superbat

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.

Ending for MAWS

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.

Ichigo's reaction at Grimmjow's return

I get Ichigo being shocked Grimmjow is still alive but there is absolutely no reason for Ichigo to seem so tense around him, like at this point Ichigo would have an easier time killing Grimmjow than Aizen would have had in the arrancar arc.

Ichigo flicking his finger at Grimmjow would be enough to kill him. The PTSD must be strong af for Ichigo to seem to tense.
