Please Watch My Adventures with Superman
This show is just so delightful and manages to capture the essence of Superman in a way a lot of adaptations just don't quite get. If you've ever been curious about Superman, if you've ever felt Superman is too boring for you, or you just enjoy a fun superhero story, I highly recommend checking this series out.
The first season has ten episodes, and the second season has just aired its third episode. In the US, it's available on Adult Swim and Max.
What It's About
If you aren't familiar with Superman, he's an alien -- the last survivor of planet Krypton, sent to Earth as an infant where he was found and raised as Clark Kent. Being an alien, he has extraordinary powers which he uses to lead a double life as a hero. This show focuses on a core trio of Clark, his girlfriend Lois, and their friend Jimmy, all of whom work at the Daily Planet newspaper.
Clark Kent / Superman
One of the main reasons this show works is it understands that Clark is Clark, first and foremost, and Superman is his disguise. Clark is a big friendly nerd. He's a huge sweetheart who cares so deeply about the people around him and the planet that adopted him.
This version of Clark is starting out very young (early 20s), so a lot of this story is about him just figuring things out. He's gradually learning the truth about his origins, the extent of his powers, and how best to be a hero -- all while grappling with the fact that he isn't human and his people of origin may in fact be a massive threat to Earth.
Clark is voiced by Jack Quaid, which you might not expect to work well, but he honestly nails it.
Lois Lane
Lois is loud. She's ambitious. She's intelligent and quick-witted. She doesn't take no for an answer. She has jumped off a building to prove her point -- twice. She is an unstoppable force of nature, and this show refuses to dumb any of those traits down.
But above all, she's kind. She wants to use everything she can do to help people. Her relationship with Clark is also everything you could ever want from a Clois dynamic.
This version of Lois is Korean-American, and voiced by Alice Lee, who does a phenomenal job.
Jimmy Olsen
Jimmy is Clark's best friend and roommate. This version portrays him as a supernatural/paranormal vlogger, running a web series called Flamebird. He's easily excitable, very passionate, as well as one of the most dedicated friends you could ask for.
Following in the footsteps of several previous iterations of the character, this version of Jimmy is African-America. He's voiced by Ishmael Sahid, who's just perfect in the part.
Why It's Great
The characters are all fun and interesting in their own right, while also having a great dynamic with each other -- as duos and as a full trio. And because the characters are shown as being very young and just starting out, they're very relatable. Additionally, every character feels very true to the spirit of their comics counterpart, despite taking a lot of liberties with the specifics.
There's a great cast of villains so far -- Livewire, Task Force X, Mxyzptlk, Parasite, Silver Banshee, and plenty of others that I don't want to spoil. They've also been teasing some really interesting stuff for the Kryptonians, which is noticeably different from any previous adaptations I'm familiar with.
The show is very anime-inspired, giving it a distinct flavor from other Superman adaptations. The creators are clearly having a ton of fun with it. Classic Superman villain Mxyzptlk, who's typically shown as an imp, now looks like he just walked out of a Dragon Ball episode, in an episode called "Kiss Kiss Fall In Portal."
It's also the same animation studio as The Legend of Korra and Voltron: Legendary Defender, who do excellent work. The character designs are unique while still fitting the characters perfectly. I particular love Clark and Superman's designs -- they've struck a balance between making sure he's big and muscular while also retaining a certain softness to his appearance. The fight scenes are fluid and dynamic. It all just works.
🐶🗡️👓🍎Pretty hard to believe that they shared the same VA!🐶🗡️👓🍎
This has been a great year for animation and superhero fans, can't wait enough for this and season 3!
I Cannot Wait for the last episodes of My Adventures with Superman!!!
god bless this show for understanding that at his core the man of steel is still a goofball wet puppy with the softest of hearts
💕👓So glad this is getting a season 3, because that finale was epic!👓💕
It’s maw sketch practice day, gentlemen (said gender-neutrally). I was going to go with no fangs, but I chose fangs instead. Throat area is where I’m needing to focus on it seems.
While this isn’t any PARTICULAR character, both Beast Boy and Naruto were in the back of my mind as I whipped this up.
Hello there vorny side of Tumblr~ Today(for me) is voretober! And with todays prompt with day one is ''Welcome''. I decided to use my fursona kaname for the star of today. She has 'Welcome' stamped on her tongue. Are you tasty preys willing to travel her inner depths~?
Voretober 2024 day 1- Space
Voretober day 12-Fall
Today is the 12th day of Voretober, and with todays prompt, I give you Kaname and annon. Kaname has her maw wide open for a falling annon, oh dear, well at least the fall will be cushioned and warm~
Watching MAwS with my straight bestie is super fun bec she is like damn that Kansas boy is fine! (She’s not wrong) and gets really excited whenever he does something cute with Lois.
Meanwhile my dumbass is on the other side of the couch freaking out bec not only is Lex Luthor a twink but he also has hair
"You're so fucking crazy!...omg you ARE my girl 😍❣️💕💞"
This line goes hard
I’ve been in a MAWS server and I’ve had conversations about the show’s suit designs, mainly for the villains. One of the aspects I’m far more mixed on so I figured I’d give Silver Banshee a shot after looking through some of Kris Anka’s concept art. Also happy new years!
YOOOOOOOOOOOO
@pharithebirb chose Winry Rockbell for me to redraw Jimmy Olsen as
Siobhan is there as a stand in for Fullmetal himself
I’ll move on to Jimmy as other anime girls for now, but I will get back to him as Winry for 2 more drawings because I didn’t even show off an outfit of her’s on him. I feel bad that I prioritized the cute pile up over Winry’s iconic design. ^

I love the thesis of this show. The fact that the main villains are government leaders, members of the upper class, and a colonizer who believes he is justified and above all else. That law does not equate morality. Clark wishes to help the criminals he faces, never to commit violence but to ensure a future for them. Lois learns some of the most important lessons of her life from someone most would perceive as evil. Clark is willing to put himself in harms way to save strangers who would kill him, and feels intense rage at those who wish to pave a path in blood. "Love is not for cowards".
Commission done for @chaosbeetlefrontiers, who wanted HeatWire with their OC baby, who doesn't want the cupcake and kicked it.
MAWS is really giving us the gays we deserved for years.
the suit isn't complete until martha kent says so 🗣🗣🗣
