I think /u/moss is overselling the guilt part, at least in the comics (I haven’t seen the show, but people say it’s pretty faithful). Sure it’s significant, but more time is dedicated in his initial turn to “good” in the comics on the fact that his human wife rocks his world nightly.
I’m not kidding even a little bit.
It gets very… uhhh. “Breedy” about humans/viltrumites (The fascist kryptonians). Like I genuinely think the author might have had a kink.
It’s decent, I haven’t read the comics so I don’t know how it ends up, and it is basically just a well-done superhero narrative about how humans are so special
I’m reading through the comic now. The show is actually slightly better, it reworks the pacing of some plots so they flow better and adds whole subplots that give later story beats more context and impact.
I tried reading the comic but the art was so fucking ugly. Also as you say the pacing has been reworked so it’s not that easy to go from season 1 of the show to the comic
Yeah the comic started out during the dark ages of digital colouring, when there was soft gradients on fucking everything. It’s been interesting to see that evolve to a more contemporary look over the course of the series.
Huh, that sounds pretty interesting

Its a bit like more “I did war crimes and now I feel sad about it” than I would like it to be, which makes that bit of the story feel very… slow.
There’s a few more thoughts… but they are a bit spoilery so I’ll keep them to myself.
