He should’ve used the line from the 90s. “Superman is what I can do. Clark Kent is who I am.”

I gotta side with Clark on this one Secret identities exist for a reason, plus if someone has deep, personal, intimate information about themselves it’s up to them when/if they share it with others Privacy doesn’t equal dishonesty

“You jump off a roof I don’t know what to think” I died in that part 😂

This show got me with this. A Superman show or comic where Lois can the see obvious and it didn't take long? So refreshing. And she already likes Clark too, no beating around the bush with this one.

“I didn’t lie to you; I just didn’t tell you everything.” Underrated Superman quote.

You can tell by the way that she says “I knew it” that she feels betrayed by her sort of boyfriend

I get that she’s mad, she was so invested in catching Superman, Clark had shitty excuses, lied over and over again and the lying probably reminds her of her father but tbh she did say she was gonna reveal Superman’s secrets to everyone, which understandably made Clark scared, especially considering he was terrified to tell Lois because not even he knows what he is. Damn gotta love some good written argument and drama

"You jumped off a roof!" No, no, he's got a point.

I love that they get it over with in the beginning that she finds out. That way they can focus on stories where they work tg

Here’s my issue with Lois since the she became invested in Superman. She said that she was going to find out who he is and publish everything about him, regardless of how that would negatively affect him, even after he has saved her life several times. So why would Clark in his right mind tell her anything. She acts like all lies are created equal, regardless of the context

To be fair I think that what hurt Lois the most during all of this was the fact that Clark thought that she would betray him and hurt him if he ever came clean to her, and the fact that he was clearly hurt and gave her such a lame excuse felt like he was just shutting her out and pushing her away

I never understand why people are so mad at superheroes for keeping secrets. Everyone is entitled to their privacy and secrets so long as keeping said secret doesn't put others in danger. No one can demand anyone to reveal a deep and personal secret thats just called respecting anothers privacy.

Ah, the good old "I'm incredibly offended you kept your private life private from me" argument. Makes as much sense as a pair of normal glasses protecting a secret identity.

I knew it /I had it coming that Clark and Lois would react like this, but this still hurts.😔

I’m upset with her actions, forcing him to tell her. I mean, be in his shoes for a moment: the family you thought to have since birth adopted you. The parents you actually have are humanoid aliens that sent him away before he could perish with them. He got powers, but the supernatural essence is contained and only the enhanced abilities outside human control are out and he has been trying to be careful in every way (breaking the alarm clock, snapping the faucet, saving the cat while trying to be normal). Then the magic does come out, and he has to hide more of himself from the public view at the same time try to understand why he has them. Not to mention the opportunity to get with a girl he likes and who likes him back not only wants to expose this hidden side of him but also hates this side of him, nor doesn’t believe him when he tells her he doesn’t know anything of his past and his abilities. And now that she figured it out, she calls him out on how he was terrible for not telling her? Because they were friends, and probably a close chance to be lovers? How long has he know her? How long has he know Jimmy? He obviously knew Jimmy longer and is obsessed with everything Clark is part of, unfortunately. He never knew about this, so what makes her so special? Just because a thing was starting between them? In the beginning she tricked the boys into doing her own thing instead of following the boss who is authorized to fire them; as well was very direct and blunt on wanting the truth which many people would avoid than to speak on as expressed in that party episode. This man is confused and scared. He’s doing his best to use his powers for good while also figuring them out on the way. And she claims him to be the bad guy while also falling for him at first sight. She may have apologized for her actions before, but this was unfair for him on how complicated his life is - that she has NO REASON to know about unless he was ready to tell despite the hate for Superman. I’m just ranting here. I know we’re going to get some quick drama, and eventually, most likely when season 1 ends, Lois and Jimmy would be the Sam Manson and Tucker Foley of Clark’s Danny Phantom/Fenton, as displayed in the opening theme. But, still. She shouldn’t have risk her life for a secret that has been conflicting his life since youth and is now furthering complications. I love the show and I am damn watching until its final. I’m just not happy with Lois. More than how upset I am at them on making Jimmy the forgotten third wheel. My poor boys 😢

Batman: well on the bright side you learned a valuable lesson from all of this.😊 Superman: what valuable lesson I am supp..... Batman: *WEAR A FUCKING MASK!*

I watched this scene like 100 times because I just can’t get over it. One, Lois ended her relationship with Clark before it started Two, Jimmy feel’s betrayed by his 2 best friends and goes on his camping trip alone Three, Slade wilson is starting to become deathstroke

To be frank, you can’t blame him. It’s his business, and a way to keep people safe from danger. If villains knew who he was, the people that he cares for, they could be at risk of getting hurt or worst. Heroes have it rough, and can no longer have normal lives because they have a responsibility to keep.

Imagine if he wasn't Superman 💀

when you spend 15+ years keeping secrets, it kind of becomes your default. hell, he was about to tell her the truth at the gala, but chickened out when she made it clear that she hates secrets. that said, judging from the promo for next week, they *begin* to patch things up, and it goes without saying that they're endgame. this is just a speed bump.

The heightened tension in this scene works for me because this is the first time Clark has had visible, lasting damage from a fight. That’s something that I think could trigger an unreasonable response from Lois in the moment since Clark’s always returned unscathed to this point.

From what we've seen in previous episodes, Lois is actually capable of owning up to her mistakes and apologizing. I'm sure she will in the next episode, maybe

So glad we're dealing with this now and not as the season finale, really helps to set this up as a series where the three of them might be a team rather than Lois and Jimmy just being bystanders. Also so glad we got a Lois that is smart enough to read the very obvious signs.

Didn’t expect the drama to start so early. It’s only been like 4 episodes in the first season.

Ngl he kind of had a point tho with her claims about exposing all of “his” secrets. Lois has already shown she’s willing to risk Clark’s life to for the story in both ep 1 and ep 3. Even if their relationship was deeper at that point I would not have taken that risk.

Fun fact: Lois pulled off this same stuff with Clark in one of the Superman movies and is probably a reference to that. He somehow managed to avoid saving her directly and fell into a fruit cart. People around her must have thought she was crazy.

I think the healthy thing for Clark to do is hold Lois accountable and telling her the risks of what being Superman brings. That his family, his friends, his life, that could all be in danger.

now imagine if he wasn’t superman

Next episode they will probably have their heart to heart, and Clark can explain...cause he did try to tell Lois at one point, but he never could cause he thought she was going to expose it to the world...to be fair. at that point they only just met.

I mean to be fair to Clark, Lois didn’t instill enough confidence to tell the truth. I get that he omitted the truth from her but the fact is her ambition was so great that she risked getting him and Jimmy fired on day one of their job, recklessly getting involved in dangerous situations to either get the story or interview Superman, and to top it off to jump off a ledge of the Daily Planet just to force his hand. I really can’t blame him not telling her if she hasn’t built enough trust to do that. Sure they’re friends but even friends keep secrets.

I honestly don't think Lois was in the right to do what she did to expose Clark's secret. It wasn't her secret to know, and she has no right to be mad at Clark for not telling her. Just because Lois has issues with secrets and lies, doesn't mean she needed to know Clark's secret. If anything, Clark should be more angry with Lois. Clark may have been a bad liar at this moment, but he just didn't want to worry her. Plus, Clark made it clear how Lois made it hard for him to tell her his secret. While I do think that Clark and Lois will find a way back from this, it's a sad moment for their relationship.

"Having secrets is another way of lying", No, it's not, it's called private life, and Clark isn't even doing anything bad, he's helping people anonymously without expecting reward or recognition, that's not lying, it's selfless altruism, absolutely the opposite of lying, for God's sake.

I like how there's a storm brewing during their fight. It's quite the perfect setting for this kind of situation.

Crazy how at 1:19, Clark’s injuries are gone on his face, but then at 1:29, the injuries are back 😱

Literally screamed during this scene I was so sad. Both of them are completely valid in the way they feel, which makes their relationship feel so real.

Wasn't their first interaction her lying to his face and risking his and Jimmy's lives and jobs in order to get a story? Lois should get over herself, he didn't owe her the truth.

Isn't Lois being a bit of a hypocrite? After all, she also lied to Clark during their first outing and investigation. Perry didn't want Lois to do that report, but Lois, not only did the investigation behind Perry's back, but brought Clark and Jimmy to help her with the investigation, saying Perry gave them the okay. And when Perry found out, he tried to call Lois, only for Lois to reject the call, resulting in Perry calling Clark and Clark learning the truth behind the investigation. I'm just saying that Lois is making a big deal about Clark lying about his identity despite the fact that she was also caught lying to get what she wanted.

On one hand I like they just rip off the band aid and get this over with. On the other hand, I understand their reactions, but boy are they both in the right and wrong. Lois might felt betrayed, but Clark has his reasons to keep his secrets. If a villain finds out about Superman being Clark, that will lead straight to his love ones, including Jimmy and Lois. However, in her defense, she despises lies due to her father lie about basically everything, including her mother about to die, so I can understand her reaction. However, Clark only kept this secret from her not just because of her protection, but also scared that she will post basically every single secret on him, not realizing Superman is right in front of her. if he didn't decided to rip the page, she probably wouldn't find out that quick that Clark is Superman. It's a domino effect of their reactions.

I like that Supes stood up for himself 😌

Lois always jumping off building every time she wants reveal superman has become iconic

Did anyone notice that? At 1:20 his injuries are gone, but then in the next seen their back at 1:30

If she was in Clark’s shoes, then she’d understand why he has to keep it a secret.

You know, all this could have been avoided if she just said "Hi, Clark. I know you are Superman but because I like you, I have decided not to publish your secrets. Please don't try to deny it because I have evidence. I realize now that you must have good reasons for hiding the truth from me, but I don't want you to lie to me anymore."

I don’t get why she’s mad. Now she can smash both her crushes at once because they’re the same freaking guy!

"i will publish all of Superman's secrets" but also "I'd never do that to you" ??? Gotta side with Clark on this one. He had good reason to worry, and no way of knowing she wouldn't publish all his secrets, coz "trust me bro" logic... and while it's shitty he was lying to her, her reaction to him being Superman is irrational. Blowing off how she feels about his because he was trying to keep her safe is not the right way to react. It's a bit of a writing trope, but i still hope they work through it

I mean, I get she doesn't like being lied to but Clark had no obligation to tell her he's Superman, especially after she threatened to expose him to the world. She also put herself in mortal danger just to prove she was right and that's pretty selfish if you think that Superman could be helping others instead of always having to save her from situations she puts herself in. I love her enthusiasm but she was being too overzealous for her own safety and I hope she realizes that. Oh, and poor Jimmy :(

Bro, Clark actually has a reason to keep a secret. Lois is just being unfair right now!

We all knew this was coming and yet it was still so enjoyable to watch.

I really love how this show isn't afraid to show two flawed but valid points of view in this kind of situation. Such good writing.

Lois is definitely overreacting but from a professional experience he is actively lying to her about something she's devoted a lot of time and energy into. Imagine spending months and months on a research project that you think could make your career, and it turns out your teammate was actively sabotaging your work this entire time.... WHILE flirting with you! It's unsurprising she didn't consider Superman as a person who might have priorities and reasons to have a secret identity - that's exactly how Clark was trying to present him. It was clear they were both thinking of starting a relationship out of work. Now Lois realizes he would've continued hiding from her even after they got together. That's also a tough blow.

Dude this genuinely made me sad. This is like SK8 the Infinity episode 7 all over again...

Remember episode 1 where she kept lying to him? Then she says she’ll publish anything she learns about superman? In his shoes would anyone trust her?

I already knew she would get upset at him for “lying” about his secret identity. But to see Clark’s reaction at the end was so upsetting to me. He’s shocked by what he just heard and you can tell he’s mad.

I get why she’s upset. Yes, lying isn’t the right thing to do. But she really needs to understand on the WHY. I’m just hoping this setback on their relationship is temporary. They are just so cute together.

I like how people just assume we’re supposed to think Lois is in the right here (the episode never frames her as in the right) and that characters are not allowed to be wrong. Lois makes one mistake that in character for her to do and everyone fucking crucifies her.

Superman has a lot under his belt. Just his name carry’s significant weight. If his SECRET identity is revealed by Lois, not only him but his entire family is under extreme risk. Superman is in the right, however many times you twist it

I like how this isn't like invincible with Amber, how she's very clearly in the wrong but the show tries to convince you that she's in the right. this show makes them both reasonable in their own ways.

The way Lois just decided to fall off the roof was just shocking! And Clark had no choice, but to save her life.

They did in season 1 what the 90s animated series never did in 3 seasons!

"....Play what?" I just love how he tries to play dumb one last time knowing full well she won't believe him or even answer that , the voice actor portrayed that feeling really well I think.

1:20 Suddenly all of his scars disappeared

You said you were going to dox his entire life, he took you at your word and your mad at him for doing THAT? T_T

So, now the truth comes out. * sigh * She just HAD to take……………THAT leap of faith just to find out the whole truth, did she?

I honestly believe Jimmy has more right to be mad when he finds out. Louis knows clack only short time, and her will to show the world his secret identity makes him uncomfortable to share. But Jimmy is his old friend/roommate, I feel he has the right to be upset

This is handled so much better than Invincible’s. All because they simply added ONE pivotal scene (at the end of episode 4) where she’s figured it out.

They REALLY didn't need to pull this trope on her. It is a bad trait for any character and it always harms the character when the trope is pulled. You cannot look at them the same afterwards. Out of a 'great portrayal of Lois', down to the ''generic you lied to be'' character like Amber and Teela where it hurt their characters A LOT

I mean I can’t blame Clark. I mean that’s big secret and you don’t just go around telling people hey I’m Superman.

The trope of people getting mad at their friends for keeping a secret is incredibly fucking stupid

I feel as if 99.9 percent certainty that he was Superman is still not enough to warrant jumping off a building in hopes that you would get saved. Like what if he decided to just not help her to preserve his secret. Out of character but not impossible

No way in hell they did "Lois" into Amber from the Invincible animated series?! I'm... I'm speechless

Technically, he never said he *wasn't* Superman.

Hmm, don’t like that he is painted to be in the wrong, even when explaining that she would expose him, she still pulls the “you lied” card, but he has a great point, he doesn’t know what to believe about her considering she literally just jumped off a building, heck what if she had been wrong, still I hope they make up

in clarkes defense, at best theyve known eachother for like a month, him not having any secrets would be weirder

In Clark's defense you straight up lied to and used him for your own gains before, so why wouldn't he think you'd sell him out to get ahead?

christopher reeve superman be like : huh..really? you know you have super breath and super speed right?

I cannot wait till Sups meets up with Batman one day! I AM VENGEANCE! I AM THE NIGHT! I AM BATMAN!!! 🦇

Lmao she did smth similar in one of the old shows. Was CONVINCED Clark was superman, and when they were out on a job, she jumped off a bridge(?) Into a river right in front of him, after accusing him. He managed to save her without outing himself, they go back to their hotel, she apologizes profusely, and somehow or another the dumbass trips and catches himself by the hands right on the hot coals of the fireplace. Ofc she's freaking out, and then sees his hands, and the jig is up and he does a total behavioral 180 But srsly how long have this clark and lois been friends? I get she's hurt, and she has a right to be upset about being lied to. But how exactly does she feel entitled to know shit about him that could (and would) put him and his family in danger? This isn't a night job he's not proud of, he's a literal extraterrestrial. What happens if people find out who he is? There are HUGE consequences. She has a right to her feelings but she doesnt get to attack him for not telling her earlier.

After all she does have that same stubborn personality, just like her father in the episode. 😎

The responsibility is what kept him bound for and that he will cling onto, he is not just there to lie because he wanted to, it is because he had to. When bearing the power of something greater in your hands and the responsibility that comes with it? It is sad to say that if you make others involved around you with that kind of strength...Inevitability of endangerment comes course and crashes down on us and to those connected to it. It's not that she can't handle it but because she too is not as mature as Clark. Clark is still new to this whole power of his and Lois who barely understands because she is blinded by the fact that a simple promise, is not as lash as she thought it was. *Promises are meant to be broken* We can try to simply delay it but none can come from the fact that it is futile. Simply trying to make it look like as if he was in the wrong is stupid and utterly outrageous. Reference: Spider-Man (2002) "With great power, comes with great responsibility." - Uncle Ben (Parker)

I know there are 5 more episodes left but something tells me that Clark Kent/Superman and Lois Lane have officially broke up afterwards.

I had really hoped that they were gonna do something different but no, it's the usual "you lied, I'm mad."

I honestly think the reason why it's a little hard to interface with what Lois is feeling is that in their world, fictional Superheroes aren't exactly a popular media thing or exist at all. So concepts like the need for a secret identity and such aren't pre built into everyone's head. So my guess is that she just took the secrecy more personal.

omg reading the comments on who is right is reminding me of Invincible. I seeing the same arguments, it's great. I love it!

Imagine if Lois was wrong about Clark being superman. She wouldve traumatized him and everyone else in the nearby vicinity by becoming one with the sidewalk lmfaooooo

Lois should really understand that Clark lied and try to protect her and the people of Metropolis! Just like Spider-Man,Daredevil,Batman,Invincible and Moon Knight Superman have to keep his secret identity. Otherwise, the people he cares about could be killed.

I swear to god. Do not turn her into a Amber like invincible.

On one hand Clark was afraid of telling her (or anyone for that matter) the truth about his hero identity, after all he's still new to this, on the other hand Lois is hurt that he wouldn't trust her with it, especially after 1) he called her out about lying to him in the first episode, and 2) she trusted him with some pretty personal stuff about herself

The infamous scene where she forces Clark Kent to reveal his identity by throwing herself off a building, despite contention from younger generations of viewers, is actually consistent with the Lois Lane character. The Lois Lane of the Silver Age comics would often recklessly put herself in danger deliberately to expose Superman and this trait was carried over to the Margo Kidder version as she would also throw herself off a building and even Niagara Falls just to try and prove that Clark Kent was Superman.

I said it on other videos, and all say it again, i despise this trope when the hero identity is revealed, that people close to them get angry or pissy because they "lied", they know superman is quite almost the embodiment of a god in earth, so for him to be actually hurt is quite a feat done by powerful and evil people, imagine if those people got a grip of their identity, what would they do to those that are close to them? it's not even a thing about lies, or being angry, it takes almost no thought to realize that, especially when Lois was actively searching for superman identity to uncover it to everyone, and it annoys me more that the protagonist refuses to defend themselves, at least in invincible mark somewhat tried, but he knew that he was just threading their relationship for months by the time he revealed his identity to amber, not justifying her, but at least there he knew that he shared a bit of fault, clark barely says any words and refuses to elaborate because he got sad, brother, let the guy defend himself, that just stains an overall good show with a trash drama because only one side of the party made "solid" points. Here they just barely know each other and they hit us with that crap because they blushed a few times? it's just cheap drama that knowing this show pacing, will go away in 1-2 episodes, or not even half of the next episode.

Hot take: Lois is about 90-95% in the wrong here. Clark being scared/cagey about Lois doxxing him is very understandable… but also with just enough irrational fear for Lois to have good reason to be hurt by that… But other then that… They’ve known each other for what… a week?… maybe a month… AND 2/4 of the previous episodes plots have fundamentally hinged on lies/secrets Lois has spun to Clark… (arguably 3/5 if you count the mind games she’s been playing with him this episode, since that’s technically her keeping a secret and involved lying) So her playing the “Honesty Card” for why she’s burning bridges with a guy who didn’t briskly admit to this titanic level personal secret, comes off as both hypocritical and entitled. This is very much in character for her, so this definitely isn’t a story critique, but I think she’s getting a little too much sympathy right now.

Lois shouldn’t be mad she lied to Clark in the start

I feel bad for both of them they each had different reasons why it turned out this way yes she would feel betrayed that her teammate lied to her about half of his identity but if she were the alien instead of him I have a feeling she wouldn't do it any differently then him and Clark was being pretty obvious for one! and the fact that he and Lois were getting to boyfriend and girlfriend status in that short amount of time they knew eachother and what she said and did at first I'm at least 99% sure she would've chosen not to reveal his identity to the world instead of getting the news story she always wanted! she has lied and tricked to get the information she wanted and Clark has lied to keep his identity and the people he cares about safe in the end to me neither of them are right neither of them are wrong and I know in the next episode or the one after that they'll come to an understanding and make up so they can save Jimmy before he dies from bigfoot... I do like how their making Lois find his identity out so quickly this is exciting!

This. hurts. so. much. right now💔😩

Meanwhile, in the alternate universe… “ You know what Chelsea, I think you should jump “

Was expecting the camera to focus back on him tearing his suit to reveal the suit underneath.

Does anyone know where I can find the soundtrack for this series? I love how it sounds, especially in this scene

I think of this scene as I lied to you to protect you, you lied to me and Jimmy to get us in danger.

Can we have a scene where some one is not always dramatic about the alter-ego reveal? The drama has been done to death.. I wish they would have high emotional intelligence..

“To water plants.” Nice one
