I wouldn't call this a filler episode, Supes eventually gets kidnapped by someone who seems to be Lois's dad after all that fighting from all those escaped prisoners who wanted revenge onto him for defeating them from the previous episodes. And the fight scene was pretty crazy, and not to mention, the people of Metropolis now turned against Superman and Vickie Vale made it even worseNothing crazy just a little bit of a filler episode?
But on a side-note, the only filler episode I'd call is the one with the smart gorilla, but then that's just me I guessI wouldn't call this a filler episode
Not really filler considering it repair’s the trios relationship and changes there dynamic a bitBut on a side-note, the only filler episode I'd call is the one with the smart gorilla, but then that's just me I guess
Why would slade need to even be front and center in this episode, dude has been in like 3 episodes before this, one of which was already a major fight. Dude has definitely gotten plenty of respect but this wasn't HIS episode and besides batfamily characters and rogues already get enough wank and center stage shine as is, I'm glad he wasn't THE main focus on this one. Especially considering we already get his deal at this point and unlike the others he doesn't really have a need to actually personally hate Superman and want to go harder than the others who directly blame him for their situations. That's just my opinion thoOh another critique of sorts is that, tbh, I feel like Slade just doesn't have a big enough role. Like, he was in this episode, but he didn't speak a single time and wasn't considered noteworthy even remotely. He's just treated as some random side villain that no one really cares about and I feel like it just ain't right for one of the OG Batman villains, and the main villain of the Teen Titan's (which, while this show is really good, is still perhaps my favorite American cartoon), no less. He has some pretty crazy feats too, like beating the majority of the Justice League solo, among other things.
Obviously this Slade is far from his prime, same goes for Superman, but I still feel like he should have a somewhat more noteable role. He already feels a little out of place in a Superman show, but making him almost irrelevant is too far.
That's not what I said. Slade's role should be small in the show overall, including this episode and the next ones. But there's him being on the center stage, and then there's him being about as significant to the episode as that unnamed child that Superman helped find her parents. He is treated as significantly as random side villains from this show that, let's be honest, nobody is going to remember, not because they're bad, but because they're just not iconic. His impact should be moderate. Noted and memorable, but not significant by any means. I literally forgot he was even in this episode for a little while, and it took me an extra day to even realize that it was Slade in episode 1 helping Superman against Livewire. Because he just doesn't matter at all in this show. You could literally replace him with a character made specifically for this show, who doesn't exist in any other DC property, and it would be absolutely no different from Slade's inclusion. It feels completely random and unnecessary for such an overall huge DC villain to be here yet to be so worthless.Why would slade need to even be front and center in this episode, dude has been in like 3 episodes before this, one of which was already a major fight.

Non-existent. My point isn't his impact in specific, my point is that he was included yet was given an underwhelming amount of impact. You don't just bring in a big-name villain that people will remember from their childhoods and make him feel like a nobody. He deserves his own show about as much as a character like Martian Manhunter. That's how big he is.I'll just ask, what role did you want slade to play this episode
I love this show. You're taking what I'm saying out of proportion, and seeming to not understand my point cause it sure ain't what you're talking about.I know how big these characters are my guy, make no mistake I'm very familiar with DC but like the case can be made with literally anyone in half of these shows. Hell the entire arrowverse was just a fest of OC versions of characters but was praised for years on end in its early and middle days, you may unironically just not like the show or are just driven by nostalgia because shit like this happens quite literally all the time not even just in the comics or shows, its the same for movies and games too. In my eyes this is a just weird hill to die on considering the nature of comic related media
Nah I entirely get it, my point however is, is that these complaints are something that can be made for a lot of different comic related media and that outside of this within the last decade of comic book content in movies and TV the same things they're doing in this show have been super prevalent throughout it all and has been praised as some of the best stuff ever.I love this show. You're taking what I'm saying out of proportion, and seeming to not understand my point cause it sure ain't what you're talking about.
What I'm saying is that my criticism is irrelevant to that. I'm not making a comment on DC comics as a whole and I don't see the relevance in what people think about other forms of media. I'm talking about Slade Wilson as a character in the DC franchise and how he has been written in this show. And it's not as common as you're saying. A character that is popular in one work appearing in another with less significance is common. But not to this extent, to where Slade/Deathstroke, an extremely popular DC character that is considered a borderline rival to one of the Justice League Big 3, is reduced to a near-irrelevant side character, about as impactful as random one-off side villains that probably won't even be seen again beyond this one season of this show, whose names I mostly can't even remember, tbh.Nah I entirely get it, my point however is, is that these complaints are something that can be made for a lot of different comic related media and that outside of this within the last decade of comic book content in movies and TV the same things they're doing in this show have been super prevalent throughout it all and has been praised as some of the best stuff ever.
Also do you really think my comment is at all blowing this out of proportion especially considering we're just talking normally. I'm not debating you here nor do I have any interest to but to me this personally just reads as one of those situations where this case can made for so so sooo much comic related media.
Say Slade in young justice dude is introducted as Sportsmaster's replacement in the light in season 2 but it honestly could've been filled by plenty other characters as he's nor pivotal nor notable enough to the story or the personal journey's that any of the characters go on through the course of the season to the point it could've either never had him exist yet or just wholly replaced him. Thing is slade was simply really cool in Young Justice and from the start was still at his core the same guy we knew, his presence commanded the situations he appeared in be taken seriously even though he isn't even a major player until season 3.
Me personally I feel like this is the same kinda cause but moreso than Slade the problem lies with this iteration of Superman's rogues +heatwave for some reason as you said just aren't notable enough to have carried this alone without him as they don't command that same presence to be taken seriously which just comes down to a fundamental flaw with the writing something we both agree on and like I said I get where you're coming from as there's another layer to this I haven't touched but for what it is and we got, I feel its fine enough for a new start that we haven't even got to see fully realized yet.
Anyways I hope I haven't like upset you or given off a foul impression
From the clips I saw, in terms of feats, Ivo/Parasite absorbed a shit ton of energy and his suit became basically a giant Kaiju monster. Superman managed to X-ray vision him and one-shot through himSo how was the ep today?
But nothing concrete on that? Also did the general understand him somewhat?From the clips I saw, in terms of feats, Ivo/Parasite absorbed a shit ton of energy and his suit became basically a giant Kaiju monster. Superman managed to X-ray vision him and one-shot through him
Kaiju Ivo is roughly the height of skyscrapers after absorbing enough energy, and Clark could take a punch, but afterwards, Kaiju Ivo was drained of energy when the people of Metropolis switched off their electrical devices and made him lose his source of energy (beautiful scene), but probably still stronger than non-Kaiju IvoBut nothing concrete on that?
He started to realise that Clark was innocent and wasn't even certain of his true self. There was some backstory of Zero Day and the general questioned why "Nemesis Omega" attacked and whether they were wrongAlso did the general understand him somewhat?
My personal guess is either Superman's father or General ZodWho was that one evil Kryptonian on Zero Day?
It would be a huge ass plot twist if it really was his fatherMy personal guess is either Superman's father or General Zod
My guess is the eradicator at least for whose being hinted at as like the villainWho was that one evil Kryptonian on Zero Day?
Never heard of Eradicator so I looked it up. Definitely seems quite likelyMy guess is the eradicator at least for whose being hinted at as like the villain
Ofc and the feat for that ship was pretty dang good considering the thing is several hundred meters acrossWas the episode respectable?

Hopefully it gets a thirdGuess with some new additions from missed episodes and calculated feats in them, a profile can be published in few days or longer.
Also, they're officially continuing it.
Definitely a little longer, I'm moving today and my new internet modem won't be here until tuesday and ofc I still am working as well so I'll it'll probably be another week or so before I can finish it all upGuess with some new additions from missed episodes and calculable feats in them, a profile can finally be published in a few days or lolonger.
