Politics ruining an already weak plot Could have genuinely been a fun and cheerful movie except the feminist speeches and the cliche attempts at forcing political ideologies in a movie with a young target audience. Also, every man in it is portrayed either as a bigot or a loser, truly disgusting. I dont see how teaching young girls that the world is pitched against them, encouraging them to lure men and put them against each other in order to take away their powers and generally showing men as dumb and gullible is going to help us in the society, except to polarize us even further as we decay and watch our societies crumble. Truly disappointed.

I'll say this: Don't look to this show for any kind of faithful representation of the Superman mythos. If you are mostly a fan of animation (particularly this style of animation), or this is your first interaction with the character, there may very well be something here for you that I'm not seeing... To be clear: I'm okay with re-contextualizing a legend like this, to a point. After all, it isn't the 1940s, or '70s, or '90s anymore. Settings, technology, and cultural references/influences are all fair game to update when reintroducing a classic character. (That said, Metropolis is apparently just San Francisco, which is somehow 150 miles from Smallville, Kansas?) But this show is making some really odd and distressing changes to Superman. His (Earth) parents don't show up until episode two! He never learns of his origins as a child. In fact, Martha actively steers her son away from answering the question, "Who am I?". Lois is tenacious, to be sure, but painfully naïve and uninformed about her own desired profession. She also is attracted to Clark Kent! Immediately! The killer robots in the first episode would have provided Superman with a minor challenge in any era-a bit more once there's four of them-but never would one of them have been capable of giving him a black eye! When his full powers seemingly kick in, he's surrounded by some kind of electricity/energy field? What? And in the impossibly large Kryptonian ship, Jor-El is speaking Italian, and there's a full-on Sailor Moon costume change. I don't understand. And maybe I'm not meant to. Maybe this iteration wasn't made for me. That's okay. But I also don't know who it was made for. Or why. In case you were wondering, I give it two stars for-when he finally does get his super sayan costume-Martha putting the red briefs on her little boy. The only joke I laughed at in 40 minutes.

This show started ok and it went downhill from there. Think fanfic level of writing and you are getting there. The plot was more concerned with shipping two characters than being a Gundam series. The show is usually 80% school drama show, 20 % Gundam, not good at all for a supposed Gundam show. At the end of season 1, it started to get good, but after that is back to the boring school room com generic anime spiced with robots. Do you remember all that political drama from other Gundam shows? Here is replaced for not-so-subtle anti-corporation quips, with no thought put into how a world like that would function. Score more than 1 are normie scores or shippers.
