Brainiac’s Fate

Something tells me Brainiac is not going to be fully defeated this season, like he is somehow going to escape while our heroes think they defeated him.

I feel he will return to cause trouble in later seasons, maybe teaming up with another Superman villain or maybe being the creator of Doomsday in MAWS (or something like that)

It is just he had been built as this bigger than life thing yet I am supposed to believe he is going to be defeated in 2 episodes? I doubt it.

Maybe I am wrong, who knows? Only time will tell.

MAWS Clark’s Strenght

This has been a point of contention for a lot of people, with some saying this Clark is incredibly weak, and while he is definitely not the strongest version of Clark out there. 2X8 proved Clark holds back more than he himself even realizes and that his grasp on his own powers is primitive at best.

Even when fighting for his life and giving it “his all” he really wasn’t. He was still holding back.

Because seeing his fight with Kara and then comparing it to Brainiac’s fight with Kara, we can see it was Clark’s mind not his body which made him lose fights.

Brainiac rag dolled Kara during their fight, meanwhile Clark was getting tossed around by Kara and only landing a few hits.

Brainiac’s Feelings

This little scene feels so important to me, because Brainiac jumping into Clark’s body gives us insight into the more subtle aspects of Brainiac’s feelings.

Like for all his intelligence and power he must not be used to having an actual face that can emote, because as we can see in the clip the Eye and eyebrow movement gives the fact that what he is saying is truly genuine away.

The way he gaze softens for a moment as he looks at Kara’s tear stricken face before it closes off and he attacks her.

I got more of Brainiac’s true thoughts and feelings from his face than his words and I think that is amazing storytelling.
