Superman and Lois - Lana and Sarah
I don't normally post but I needed to air this out.
I've been watching Superman and Lois for the first time and I just hit S2 where Jordan and Sarah have their first proper relationship tussle.
I'm absolutely disgusted.
The pair of them have already declared their genuine love for each other. Then Sarah ****s off to camp for three months. No worries, but she later reveals that she kissed another girl at said camp.
She tells Jordan, who is obviously upset, and then admits to it to her mother. This is where I had to pick my jaw up off the floor.
Sarah says she neither regrets nor is ashamed of what she did. Now, I got the feeling that the writers were trying to put in some pro-LGBT something into this line. And I totally get it. She shouldn't be ashamed that she engaged in same-sex relations. No one should. Pro-LGBT all the way.
BUT NOT WHEN YOU HAVE A RELATIONSHIP ALREADY! Basically, she didn't say, 'I'm not ashamed I'm LGBT.' What she just said was 'I'm not ashamed I cheated on my boyfriend.'
How do you confuse this line with the other? How did no one see how bad this was?
Then she asks what she might do if Jordan never forgives her and Lana actually says, 'If that happens he doesn't deserve you.'
****ing WHAT!?! If he doesn't forgive your cheating ass, then he's a loser? Are you for real? This is gaggingly disgusting advice. What on Earth is going on in the writers' rooms of America that they're trying to glaze this behaviour and make cheaters out to be the good guys? It's entirely the other way around; Sarah doesn't deserve Jordan AT ALL!
I was really enjoying this show. Thought it was the best Superman thing I've seen. Then this happened and now I can't take it seriously. Bad enough that it does the SAME THING every American show/movie/book does without fail, and that is to put in some ridiculous drama-filled nonsense in the second movie/book/season for no reason other than to stoke up **** in a relationship.
Am I the only one who took issue with this part? Does anyone else see just how horrific Lana's advice was? If you don't want to hurt you daughter's feelings, then at best you'd say something like, 'If he doesn't forgive you, then you'll need to learn from this mistake,' and not at all say, 'You're way too good for someone who expects you NOT TO CHEAT!'
I'd like to know what other people thought.
