Does it get better or should I quit while I'm ahead?

Main reason to watch that show is the actors were hot.
After they hook up the show turns unwatchable.
Teri Hatcher is hot, yeah, but her Lois started to annoy me after the first few episodes.
>After they hook up the show turns unwatchable.
Really? The will-they-won't-they is unbearable. My Adventures with Superman is terrible but at least they got the secret identity shit out the way right out the gate, all the other Superman stuff I've watched/read has been exhausting.
the "will they won't they" was the only thing holding the show together
Man.

It sounds like you don't like the basic premises of the show and I'm astonished you watched it this far. No, if you haven't enjoyed it thus far quit while you're behind.
>I'm astonished you watched it this far.
Season One had Tracy Scoggins' Cat Grant and John Shea's incredible Luthor. And even Jimmy was pretty fun. The new Jimmy isn't entirely awful but its just not the same, it feels like a completely different role. All the dynamics have changed. And Perry's actor lost weight and we see a lot less of him.
Yes, I understand its supposed to be a "girl" show. Which is why Lois stopped being mean to Clark so quickly and Clark is a bit of a dick. Not my preferred characterization for either of them but it was bearable at the beginning and S1 had a lot more going on. Yeah, maybe I should quit. I didn't want to go back to Smallville cause I prefer the more emotional/character stuff but L&C is losing me. And Cain's Clark is so conservative... he's always trying to call the cops.
That's a proper Clark.
I loved this show, but I don't remember loving the later seasons as much, you probably shouldn't continue.
>My Adventures with Superman is terrible but at least they got the secret identity shit out the way right out the gate
...Nevermind, I think Superman is just not for you.
>...Nevermind, I think Superman is just not for you.
Because I want to see the secret identity shit out of the way? He doesn't get to tell her in STAS, he tells in her the Christopher Reeve movies but then erases her memory, and now in Lois & Clark its been a season+ of nonsense.
I'm not sure if I should continue Smallville or not. I was thinking of downloading the Superboy show from the 80s.
Disliking MAwS sounds normal for a Superman fan honestly, the show seems embarrassed of most things about the character
I'm a new Superman fan technically. I liked MoS ten years ago and then I read Birthright and that one Superman Elseworlds I can never remember the name of, the one that's like "what if Superman but in real life". I have a physical collection of the Byrne run... somewhere, because back then someone on Cinemaphile recommended it to me but I haven't gotten around to reading it yet. I watched MAwS as it started airing then somewhere in the middle of that, maybe 2 weeks ago? I watched the four Reeve films, started Smallville, and watched all of STAS. Out of everything so far my favorites have been STAS and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Then as far as comics go I've been reading "Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane," Golden Age Superman Vol. 1, and a collection called "Superman in the Fifties".
>I liked MoS
You're not a Superman fan.
alright man
>Disliking MAwS sounds normal for a Superman fan honestly
I am an old superman fan and I like MAWS. It could be quite mediocre right now but it's way better than whatever the fuck tried to do with him in the cinematic universe.
Also, it reminds me of Smallville, but actually MAWS is not afraid of showing Superman at it is.
Turning his (and other heroes') villains into bland looking power-armor villains seems pretty afraid of just having them in fun costumes with unique and sometimes bizarre origins, even Supes' costume has a bland look to it when you look directly at it, his is just easier to not notice because it mostly has his normal colors. Every design feels like what a live-action show or movie would do to avoid the goofier comic looks, besides Mxy, his is boring for entirely different reasons.
>he's always trying to call the cops
there's a reason for that
>Teri Hatcher is hot, yeah, but her Lois started to annoy me after the first few episodes.
Lois is always supposed to be annoying.
i disagree
Smallville lois is a treasure
>all the other Superman stuff I've watched/read has been exhausting.
What else have you tried watching?
What in the fuck is going on in the webm?
STAS, the Reeves movies, Lois & Clark. If I want to see Lois and Clark actually get together I'll just have to read the comics, and if I read them in order of release that could take forever.
Believe it or not that Lex Luger episode was a loose adaptation of For the Man Who Has Everything (Superboy is unknowingly living in a nightmare after being latched onto by an alien parasite).
I never watched this. I’m currently on season 5 of smallville right now.
eventually Lois starts eating live frogs, no joke
>eventually Lois starts eating live frogs, no joke
but that was a clone
potato, tomato
If you quit now you will miss out when they start doing clone stuff
There was one clone episode in s1
Gonna throw in that I think Tempus is probably on my top 10 favorite Superman villains. His episodes are fucking kino.
Just watch the 80's Superboy TV show. No idea why Lois and Clark is so beloved, it's kind of dull.
Superboy is corny but in a good way, feels like a Silver Age comic filtered through a syndicated 90's show.
Yeah, I'm gonna watch this and probably give Smallville another shot too. Any other Superman stuff I should watch?
Superman and Lois.
This started promisingly but turned out to be pretty shite.
Not him but I’d strongly suggest starting with Season 3 and watching the first two later if you really like it.
Superboy is really three distinct tv shows. I think one reason it’s not more fondly remembered is people watch the pilot, nope out and never get to the really good stuff.
The first couple seasons of Smallville (mainly the pilot) have some clever nods to Superman stuff. It gets horribly derailed later on.
I will never understand why people like Smallville. It's genuinely horrible.
it seems like it was a "you had to be there" thing and i'm afraid i just wasn't there.
I was there for it and I hated it.
If it had more cockteasing that leaves you high and dry, it'd be called Lost and Tom Weiling is probably the single worst Superman actor with all the emotional range and charisma of a plank of wood.
Every time someone uses that shitty buzzword, they sound completely retarded and honestly it's because they are.
Someone's touchy today
Cringe
Smallville is kino
Smallville had a slow start, but it had a longer plateau than recent CW shows. For example, Smallville was still watchable at season 6, unlike Flash, which was already garbage by season 3.
The Flash was never any good to begin with.
Keep crying, Cinemaphiletards
Obsessed
So you have nothing in your tiny brain but shitposting and buzzwords. Expected from a retarded monkey who uses stale Cinemaphile buzzwords.
You're babbling about Cinemaphile out of nowhere bro, take a look in the mirror
>out of nowhere
A retard doesn't even know or pretends to not know where the cancerous forced meme he uses came from. Amazing.
Touch grass
no u
I love Lois and Clark, but I can see the "dull" argument. It seems like a bane of 90s-early 2000s superhero shows. They weren't willing or lacked the budget to go completely fantastical yet (shit, they're still tip-toeing with the boring pseudo-realism shit like Arrow's drug dealer version of Count Vertigo. Still angry about that one, yes.) so comic-booky stuff was rare. That made episodes like Metallo one stand out more, but also hurt the show if you were expecting superhero fighting supervillains hijinx.
Nightman, another schlocky show from that era I liked, was the same way when you see the hero fight some forgettable gangsters more often than any fun supervillains.
NTA but what I find lame about Lois & Clark is how they force Lois & Clark into traditional rom com roles with very stereotypical romance tropes. I understand that's the point and the audience they were going for but its still lame they have to change the characters and make them more palatable to fit a generic romance format.
That's why I liked the Superboy series so much. It's not going to give you high budget villain fights, sure, but they don't shy away from the more comic book elements as well as they can.
I’ve been addicted to superman content for the pass few days.
I’ve never been this obsessed with a comicbook character before.
Its ok to love Superman, anon.
israelite'D
same.
MAWS got me hooked and after s1 ended i just kept going. just rewatched STAS and enjoyed it, wonder if there's more like that show out there.
Remember, canonically Howie Mandel's Mxyzptlk is one and the same as MAWS's Mxy and Smallville's.
Smallville = kino
My aunt always used to watch this in her undies before falling asleep on her couch.
Sounds like trauma
that buzzing wasn't the a/c, was it anon
Season 4 is surprisingly the best one
Can I stop at S1
