Ok so what if Adam was more like jjk suguru geto (this is inspired by that one comic reference recreation of the geto leaves gojo but blake and adam please link it below if you find it).
This is more so a potential overhaul idea, what do you think?
Beating a VERY dead horse but Jordan Kent kinda sucks revaluating the series. Like, he's so boring or annoying. Straight up either or.
I appreciate his character arc in season 1 but it feels like he kinda peaks after that. But after that point, dear GOD. Season 2 and season 3 honestly don't do much for him in terms of development: Like ok, he learns to control his abilities better. Learns to fly, saves superman, that's great but he doesn't change. His maturity gets stagnated by the entire sarah mess and that literally becomes 85% of his character. He is literally 007: 0 battles won, 0 rememberable good moments, 7 times he tries to get back the girl that cheated on him like a MONTH into their relationship (no idc if she's a teenager). Then there's the entire Samaritan thing and I MIGHT be reaching but Clark is kinda not doing a good job consoling Jordan's feelings of attention. Like, I get the show did a "eh-ish" job representing Jordan's mental issues, but I really think if the arc presented this as Jordan needing validation, then him lashing out feels more realistic than just teen stupidly. Speaking of stupidity, the entire Jordan heart thing. Jordan didn't think of a plan, didn't ask for help, NOTHING. He gambled everything on himself and failed. Can you imagine of jonathan's blow up still occurs but no powers or sam lane's heart isn't compatable to superman's? all of that being indirectly technically jordan's fault? There is NEVER a moment of anyone confronting jordan POST the superman revival about his decision. then he does nothing for season 4 except get beat up by superman and lex luthor. No I am not saying he suddenly needs to fight doomsday but c'mon man. I think the most frustrating part of his character is that it comes at the expense of jonathan. Jordan literally could be replaced by jonathan and barely anything changes but nope, jonathan needs to get his nuts dragged through the mud for three seasons. That's my reasoning for being so pissed. Jordan feels boring and at first, him disliking superman could have been interesting but he just becomes a fanboy. IDK, I get the series is over but just a bit peeved man.
Ok so uh, hi I'm a little new here.
I want help, could anyone tell me the timeline for comics I should read to get up to date on jon's like lore. That would be very helpful.
Nearly 20k members is impressive. Just giving my flowers.
So, like, if Jordan kent never existed or is never created, does the series really change that much? Like ok, I have..mixed 40/60 feelings on Jordan but just genuinely asking: Jordan's never born, 2 routes this goes:
Route 1: Jonathan gets powers the same manner Jordan does
Route 2: Jonathan does not get powers until season 4
Thoughts?
I feel like Henry (aka steel) forgave superman way too soon. Like one full season and bam, they are pals. Personally, I think the beef should have properly ended in at least season 3 or at least season 2 (instead of the cushings). Like imagine you get terrorized by the so-called man of tomorrow, that dude kills your wife on LIVE TV, kills all your friends, makes you abandon your daughter to keep her alive, then you enter an entirely different timeline, see that same guy married to YOUR wife, have two sons and is seen as the most beloved person on the planet.
Me personally, I'm hitting that man with the toji gojo treatment during that season 1 finale.
This subreddit had a weird obsession (especially before the cancellation) with either Jordan or Jonathan turning evil. Most of the time it was Jordan, but Jonathan got his share too. I genuinely never understood why. Some of y'all wanted a Dabi Part 2 so badly.
Personally, I think the idea is pretty cringe. Having Superman's son go full villain would've been generational slander and would've done unnecessary damage to Superman's reputation, especially before the 2025 movie.
That said, if the series absolutely insisted on doing an evil twin storyline and there was no way around it, Jordan probably makes more sense than Jonathan.
Yes, I've seen the 500th post about Jonathan being ignored, neglected, abused, overlooked, tortured, or whatever. But Jordan turning dark arguably feels more natural from a narrative standpoint. The show already spent more time exploring his emotional struggles, isolation, powers, anger issues, and tendency to act impulsively. Whether that would've been a good idea is another discussion entirely, but if the writers were determined to make one of them fall, Jordan seems like the more believable choice.
Looking at this community, one question that has never been asked is that between the two brothers. Using their season 4 counterparts (so this is far), who wins in a hypothetical 1v1 fight? This isn't to the death but only till the other guy is knocked out.
