Superman & Lois’ Newest Episode Undermined The Show’s Biggest Death Almost Immediately After It Happened

:0:0

Warning: This article contains SPOILERS for Superman & Lois season 4, episode 5.Superman & Lois season 4"s most recent episode was quite emotional, but it also managed to undermine the show"s biggest death not long after it took place. With a shortened final season — the DC series will conclude with only 10 episodes this time around — Superman & Lois is seeing events happen in rapid succession. That has been good and bad for the show, depending on the situation. As it is the final season, a fast pace allows the popular Superman TV series to use many ideas that had been saved for seasons that will never come.
However, with so many things happening in each episode, the proper time to let major events breathe ends up not being given. For instance, Superman died at the end of the season premiere and already came back to life at the end of episode 3. While Clark Kent returned from the dead relatively quickly, the show did display how big of a void was left in his absence, especially since Superman & Lois season 4"s cast has seen many key actors from past seasons only appear sporadically. However, episode 5 undermines the final season"s death that will not be reversed.
Superman & Lois Season 4 Episode 5's Elizabeth Luthor Story Undoes A Key Part Of General Lane's Sacrifice The Final Season Death That Has Stuck Close Superman"s death was always going to be reversed. After all, there is no way that Superman & Lois could end without Tyler Hoechlin"s Man of Steel facing Lex Luthor, and "The Death of Superman" story from DC Comics does bring a happy ending for the character. However, General Sam Lane"s death is permanent. The character dying helps the show"s final season establish that it continues to have high stakes and no one is safe, even if Superman came back to life. While Lane"s death was emotional and impactful, episode 5 has undermined it.
