Lois falling for Clark in the Donner-verse for example would make no sense. Clark intentionally makes himself unappealing and isn't being serious as long as those glasses are on.

Bonus points if they did it and added Jor-El next to Jonathan.

Forces Clark to finally toughen up.

I'm not saying he should turn into a conqueror, or start killing people, or lose his kind heart, but he needs to find some kind of middle ground and stop letting himself get ragdolled. It felt like we finally reached that point in episode 5 and it broke him. Superman is a fighter, it's as much a core of his character as his compassion. He understands that when someone has their boot on someone else's neck, they're not gonna take it off just because you ask them to and he makes no apologies for. I know it's probably part of a longer character arc but 3 seasons? It feels like something he should've learned as kid being bullied. not as a grown man dealing with actual killers.

For context Clark had just been hit with a gun that fires red solar rays.

I never understood the appeal of Superman learning how to fight from someone like Batman. Especially since Batman's fights like a human who's bound by gravity. Superman isn't that.
