2:37 That shot with him, the car, and the original suit is a homage to his first appearance to the world in Action Comics #1 (cover-dated June 1938 and published April 18, 1938).
My theory is that Captain Luther is possibly a hero from a world where Superman was the evil. The ending was a cool touch as Superman lost their battle, but goes home with a family and a happy ending with sunset. While luthor goes back to his ship all alone, in the middle of nowhere In the mountains. The score when he was walking on the snow was a very sad lonely tone. I think they’re gonna flesh him out
Yeah, I’m thinking different universe lex? Cause why wouldn’t they use John cryer? Not sure how this fits tbh cause it feels like they’re separate from the other CW shows even tho they aren’t supposed to be??
HBO Max is also part contributors to the budget, thus where the extra production value is coming from. Also when they were pitching it, they were insistent on shooting it on some fancy camera that network TV doesnt use.
They might bring in John Cryer at some point. But since his Lex is involved with stuff on Supergirl, they brought in this Lex as a remnant from Crisis to be the first big bad.
I imagine that the recasting has more to do with the fact that casting someone for a recurring role is different to casting for occasional guest appearances. Crisis is a convenient in-universe excuse, but let's not forget that the CW has recast roles before (Kara's mother in Supergirl, for example).
Yup. They soft rebooted the entire Arrowverse through crisis. This is why Superman and Lois have been married for years and have teenage fraternal twins. History is not as they remember and is pointless to dwell to much on it as only few remember and the consequences of everyone remembering all those timelines at once could be fatal. This is why Kal El won't discuss it anyone other than that remember it like Kara, Barry, Black Lightning etc.
@@N0-1_H3r3 The CW only may I remind you how they recasted both Bruce Banner and Rhodes in the MCU? And is nothing new in Back To The Future they also recasted Jennifer Marty's girlfriend.🤷🏽
You do realize what you were seeing at 1:20 on the show (2:38 on your video), right? This was the recreation of the cover of Action Comics #1, the first appearance of Superman, right down to the color and profile of the car and the design of his suit. Absolutely beautiful!
Captain luthor is actually Lex luthor but he’s from another parallel earth, since crisis same/different doppelgängers I have going to earth one. So Jon cryer is still Lex Luthor but a different/another Lex Luthor has come to earth
No it’s not a stand alone, crisis changed everything, two kids instead of one, not toddlers but teenagers, different Morgan edge & Lex Luther, Diggle will be popping up on the show as well
your demeanour of giddiness and smiles is infectious a bright light in these trying times do us a favour don't change for anybody you make me feel a happy again too much negativity out there you have a good aura about you I liked and subbed I'm prob gonna watch more reactions
Fun fact: Inde Navarrette (Sarah Crushing) is 19 years old and Alexander Garfin (Jordan Kent) is 16 years old so... 🚨 🚨 Edit: nvm I forgot these shows r filmed in Canada so the age of consent is 16
@BritSmash! This is 100% in the Arrowverse, all the differences are due to Crisis. And Crisis was actually mentioned here (a Lex Luthor that lost his world, his entire universe, and who is not John Cryer... Think girl, think!! xDxD)
"can you share this with the other shows?" NOO, I'd rather have a show with really good effects like this than multiple mediocre kind of good budget but not really shows...
Beth was displaced from Earth 99 to Earth Prime after the events of Crisis in "Batwoman". Both characters were suffering from migraines until August killed Beth of E99, allowing Alice aka Beth to recover. It appears that two Lex's could live on Earth Prime, possibly because of the suit Lex is wearing.
I loved the pilot. My theory is that “Captain Luthor” is Lex Luthor from an Earth that was destroyed during Crisis; but I don’t know if they’ll go with the angle of him being good; and thinking that our Superman was evil. I’d like to see how the father/son relationship will progress between Clark & the boys throughout the series; and if they deal with Jordan’s anxiety disorder while coping with using his new powers, then that could be useful for someone like Luthor or Morgan Edge to manipulate him into using him against his father; resulting in Jonathan proving that he also has powers, and leading into a brother vs brother showdown. But it’s just a theory. Hope to see more reactions. ❤️👍🏻
I believe that Luthor is from a destroyed alternate universe. He even said where he's from they both have history. And that where he's from no longer exists. Crisis did merge other characters from other universes with earth prime.
HBO max is footing in a chunk of the budget because after it’s run on CW it goes directly to HBO max instead of Netflix The other CW shows including Batwoman does not have that same deal
This show is on Earth Prime, they kind of already reference crisis...Captain Luthor said where he came from. He and superman were enemies and he is the only survivor of his world
just to let you know britney they did reference crisis when he was fighting captain luthor at the nuclear power plant he said he is from another world and kal-el was hisgreatest enemy and then his world was destroyed and somehow he survived and landed in this world and was shocked that there was another superman on this earth people are speculating that this captain luthor is a take on alexander luthor in the comics from earth 3 but in the show he might not be from earth 3 and the reason why this looks so good is because the CW made a deal that is having HBO Max pay for the hole first season of the show please let me know what you think thanks great reaction
Oh! I liked your 'Alternate Superman' theory. That would have been interesting. I'm aware that evil versions of Superman aren't exactly new anymore, but still
I'm just gonna get it outta the way now in case it happens: You know Lex Luther is gonna pit the son with un-manifested powers against Superman. Right?
Possibly. I'm waiting to see if one of them becomes Superboy-Prime and wants to destroy the universe as part of an Infinite Crisis storyline/crossover.
In this new post crisis timeline, I think either, assuming her story happened similarly to her pre-crisis one, was either a teen when Lois and Clark got married or not on earth yet. They could've had the actress who played the teen Kara on Supergirl at the wedding.
Love the show. Great reaction. Also, theory: What if, down the road, Jordan becomes a superhero, but so does Johnathan, without powers. We know he's very skilled. He could be like a more stable version of Titans' Hawk
First off, very much loved your reaction and secondly, what I will laugh at until the end of time is the fact that My name is Jourdan and I have a younger brother named Jonathan but I'm older. So I'd like to think that my brother and I are in the show lol
Lois and Clark in the comics kind of had 2 sons Jonathan their current biological son and before the New 52 they had a Foster/Adopted son for a while Christopher Kent/Lor-Zod the biological son of General Zod and Ursa and funny enough both boys were eventually aged to teenagers.
Earth Prime has it's Superman. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Especially with that reveal (I have theories) at the end of the episode. Also, can we talk about them suits?
Honestly this is the most I've enjoyed anything Superman related since Smallville. Don't get me wrong already liking Tyler and Bitsie due to the Arrowverse probably helped but the budget just sends this to a next level.
Yea can’t wait to see the upgraded budget on the other shows - I’m really hope the other shows follow suit and update themselves - ever since I saw startgirl I knew -ooooh this is different something going to change....
What an awesome reaction! I admit, I was worried Jordan would be nothing but an unlikable, insufferable a-hole character. But the scene on the front porch when he just hugs his dad made me realize there is so much more to him.
If u listen to “luthors” lines when fighting clark he says his world is destroyed .. Gone .. erased and we know luthor is human why else would he need a suit with a jetpack or kryptonite to fight clark this must be a Luthor that somehow got onto earth prime and already had a whole past with clark kent who knows his identity
You know what.. I need friends like you and other reactors your react to this show...coz men...I would have the exact emotions as you have with this show.. 😅 But in terms of reason of watching this show is slightly different from yours I here for Bitsie Tulloch coz of the tv show grimm But none the less.. this show is great.
and another thing this is the same timeline superman and lois because i know this because there was susposed to be a crossover between superman and lois and batwoman but they had to cancel it because of COVID please let me know what you think
Girl..... Let the show be its own thing! Stop trying to force a connection in it's very first episode. Relax. The title of the show is Superman and Lois. Not Superman and Lois the multiverse connection
hey i was wondering brittany if you are going to catch up with all of the arrowverse shows like supergirl, superman and lois, the flash and so on and if you were going to react to shows like star wars andor or the teen wolf movie please let me know thanks
Bitsie Tulloch said on ET than Melissa Benoist texted her that she wants to appear on the show. This show respected the history and character of Jonathan Kent much better than MoS did. He trained Kal-El to use his powers and died of a natural cause instead of an intelligence insulting way.
The call back to action comics number one down to the accurate mom made suit and green car. Also is it me or is dc just casting all of teen wolfs actors Tyler posey was in an episode of smallville then Roy in arrow was played by Colton Haynes who was Jackson in teen wolf then Tyler hoechlin is superman and Crystal reed was in swamp thing and Dylan sprayberry was young superman in man of steel.
It sounds like that Lex Luthor is from a dead "Earth" after Crisis On Infinite Earth storyline. And all he wants to do is kill Superman; just like the regular Lex wanted to do in the crossover.
If you're trying to bring new people into a show, having direct references to several other shows and a big crossover event isn't necessarily a helpful thing to do. I don't imagine that Crisis will be referred to directly unless it becomes relevant to the story the show is telling. Crisis may be how we got here, but it doesn't need to be on everyone's mind going forwards.
i couldn't believe that Tyler Hoechlin wore the original Superman suit and then wore the new suit!!!
Oh wait till the boys find out about Aunt Kara, Uncle Barry, the various uncles and aunts who are time traveling,
Aunt Sara
I’m pretty sure Kara would be their cousin
@@jp721jr8 Bruh what. Kara is Clark's cousin!
@@shaq8830 That would make her their first cousin once removed.

Your nervous laughter is hilarious. This show was much better than anticipated. They'll probably muck it up...
Who would of thought that the little boy from gangs of perdition would grow up to be Superman and have his own series.
They might bring in John Cryer at some point. But since his Lex is involved with stuff on Supergirl, they brought in this Lex as a remnant from Crisis to be the first big bad.
The pilot episode was amazing! I hope that it continues to be this good. I liked how it looked like a movie, instead of a tv show.
100% agree we protect Jordon.
They got that HBO Max Money :)
The budget looked inSANE!
Cinematic quality.
I cried on the beginning montage. Beautiful
I think it is part of the main arrowverse but they are using Crisis to redo certain characters like Morgan Edge and General Lane
From what I understand, it is
I imagine that the recasting has more to do with the fact that casting someone for a recurring role is different to casting for occasional guest appearances.

Crisis really changed Superman-it’s the arrowverse-a new crisis’s earth Luthor
Superman is the one who represents hope

Jumped on to watch some alternate s&l reactions and I gotta say, I LOVE your energy!
Captain luthor is actually Lex luthor but he’s from another parallel earth, since crisis same/different doppelgängers I have going to earth one. So Jon cryer is still Lex Luthor but a different/another Lex Luthor has come to earth

your demeanour of giddiness and smiles is infectious a bright light in these trying times do us a favour don't change for anybody you make me feel a happy again too much negativity out there you have a good aura about you I liked and subbed I'm prob gonna watch more reactions

I freaking love Teen Wolf and everyone of the cast.
Tyler Hoechlin did came a long way. From the show 7 Heaven to Superman.
All I can keep thinking is superman going “thanks for all you’ve done cousin I’ll take it from here” 😀
This new show is super duper nicccce love your reaction Britsmash 9.0 amazing👏👏🏆🏆
YES MY FAVORITE SUPERHERO IS HERE!!!!

Maybe this Captain Luthor is an amalgamation of Zod and Lex
@@Cs-cp6vo True
the budget is because HBO and CW made a deal for the financial side

Dope episode.
Alexander luthor.
And two Superboys?
Beth was displaced from Earth 99 to Earth Prime after the events of Crisis in "Batwoman".
Both characters were suffering from migraines until August killed Beth of E99, allowing Alice aka Beth to recover. It appears that two Lex's could live on Earth Prime, possibly because of the suit Lex is wearing.
I want to hope it's a stand alone. Great show and reaction.
Imagine if “The Flash” series had this high a budget and level of production

My theory is that “Captain Luthor” is Lex Luthor from an Earth that was destroyed during Crisis; but I don’t know if they’ll go with the angle of him being good; and thinking that our Superman was evil.

But it’s just a theory.
Hope to see more reactions. ❤️👍🏻
It almost seems certain. Some are theorizing this is the Lex from old Earth 2(the Syndicate Earth)
I believe that Luthor is from a destroyed alternate universe. He even said where he's from they both have history. And that where he's from no longer exists. Crisis did merge other characters from other universes with earth prime.
Now can we get an Arrowverse Batman appearance already?!!? I want Supes and Bats to have an episode together...
HBO max is footing in a chunk of the budget because after it’s run on CW it goes directly to HBO max instead of Netflix The other CW shows including Batwoman does not have that same deal
Im hoping that Kara makes some appearances in this show
That Luthor is Alex Luthor and is from a different earth. His earth was never restored.

Based on the dialog. I'm assuming that is Lex from an AU that was destroyed during the crisis. This is a great idea.
He could be a Luthor from another Earth.
I remembered you all watching the 2 season of Supergirl when they introduced him. It's freaking awesome
First off, very much loved your reaction and secondly, what I will laugh at until the end of time is the fact that My name is Jourdan and I have a younger brother named Jonathan but I'm older. So I'd like to think that my brother and I are in the show lol
The guy who plays Jordan is from Texas which is where I live.

Are you going to react to wandavision season 1 episode 1-8 ?
It is also part of HBO max. That is why it has such a big budget
Also, you need to react to Legacy of Hope that was shown after the pilot.
Honestly this is the most I've enjoyed anything Superman related since Smallville. Don't get me wrong already liking Tyler and Bitsie due to the Arrowverse probably helped but the budget just sends this to a next level.

I think its a Luthor from an earth which did not survive crisis
This could be a different earth like stargirl before the crisis . My theory
