Plot: Clark wants to settle down and marry Lois, but she is focused on her career as a star reporter. Meanwhile, Kara adjusts to Earth life alongside Jimmy, leading the team into a massive conflict against an evolving, clone-spawning Eradicator and time-traveling complications.
Season 3 of My Adventures with Superman was good.
Pros: I like how a lot of interactions and fondness from Clark, Lois, Jimmy, Kara & its new edition, Jon Kent. It continued being light-hearted, fun, and action-packed. It took a slow-burn approach with the main storyline this season with Jon Kent at the centre. Kara was the highlight of this season for me. Cyborg Superman & Bizarro were permanent additions. The reveal of the Eradicator was satisfying; how they set it up & the finale had a solid ending that made me happy.
Cons: Jimmy Olsen was annoying and convoluted at times. I feel the pacing goes too fast moving at times. Lex Luthor didn’t stand out to me this season. I didn’t like the usage of Giganta & Doctor Poison. There were episodes in the second half that felt like side quests that derail the momentum. And the defeat of Eradicator felt anti-climactic & washed as well with the storyline.
