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.
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 can only say “FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK”
Clark baby you deserve so much better.
(Brainiac slayed that outfit though)
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.
