Part 8/15:
The script is densely packed, with rapid-fire events and numerous plotlines vying for attention. Notable subplots, like Metamorpho's origin and the mysterious baby, feel rushed and superficially handled. For example, Metamorpho's powers are visually impressive, but humorous moments and a perceived "cheap trick" element related to the baby detract from emotional investment.
A significant twist involving Superman’s Kryptonian heritage and his parents' true intentions is heavily telegraphed, making it feel like a foregone conclusion rather than a surprise. The revelation that Superman's biological parents intended for him to dominate Earth, rather than guide or protect, is startling but feels unnecessary and somewhat out of place, undermining his character's roots and mission.
