say you ship legendary iconic couple Lois and Clark.

now imagine a pilot episode of a show where Lucy Lane and Clark Kent were fucking behind Lois Lane's back, while he was still WITH Lois then Clark and Lucy went off on a little boat trip getaway...

imagine years later Lucy and Clark flaunt their relationship in Lois' face...imagine STILL shipping and hoping for Clois to have a "healthy relationship" or a relationship on a show with this sister swapping plotline for nearly a DECADE.

why in the hell would you still watch?!

imagine Lucy exceeding Lois in journalism in every single way imaginable, she's General Lane's favorite, the other characters on the show love and admire her more than Lois.

Finally, Lois gets to show what she's worth! She's moving up in the journalism world, with the help of a little blackmail, she and Clark get to travel together doing reporter things! And yet....he still has no respect for her as a friend or as a professional.

are you still watching? you're still watching this iconic couple get to work side by side? still invested in your fave being treated like this? her sister was more interesting, perhaps father had more of an impact on clark's life and journey....still watching? WHY?

For some odd reason Clark changes his mind and decided to do some more sister swapping...he hooks up with Lois! Little do they know Pete fucking Ross (who loves Lois) is watching them outside from the window of her apartment building. THE AUDACITY.

still watching?

4 seasons of bullshit later and you're still tuning in? Complaining each week?

Well Lois can't come to the phone right now because she's fucking dead. Her last breaths on her death bed? Wasted on the man who fucked her sister and never respected her on any level.

Are you really still watching?

Lois is dead. Clark wants the city to put some respect on her journalism career and a statue is built on top of the Daily Planet in her honor.

FINALLY SHE IS BEING RESPECTED AS A LEGENDARY REPORTER even though her sister was more successful.

If you're still watching things are just getting really fucking weird in Metropolis, more weird than the citizens not recognizing that a farm boy and an alien have the same exact jawline and sometimes the same spit curl hairstyle.

THERE ARE OTHER EARTHS?! Lois from E2 RISE UP!

So you think E2 Lois and Clark will have iconic fight scenes together and squabbles and maybe a little flirting here and there? Have you been watching the show? You thought very wrong. He hates her guts and they interact every six weeks.

6 SEASONS IN. No love for your LEGENDARY COMIC BOOK CANON and you're really still watching a show that has nothing to entertain YOUR needs?!

Someone else from another city A METAHUMAN, with her same first name has arrived! She's officially the Star reporter at the Planet

Your favorite character is DEAD, her death was from a man's POV, she made no impact displaying what made her so allegedly iconic in the source material, she's been replaced by someone who is a better journalist, and an evil version of herself.

STILL WATCHING? REALLY?

Lois Lane is THAT bitch. If I'm watching a show, no, if I'm watching a pilot episode, where her character is treated like this I'm not tuning in for the rest of the season let alone SEVEN of them just to complain and never be satisfied with her storylines. I'm moving on.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around the delusions of why someone would expect vindication for a character or the revival of a toxic ship in this show canon.
